Tokenisation is projected to grow by 5,600% to reach a $2 trillion market by 2028, according to Standard Chartered. The bank attributes this growth to the expansion of decentralised finance (DeFi) lending via stablecoins, which facilitate the migration of real-world assets like stocks and bonds onchain. Geoffrey Kendrick, global head of digital assets research at Standard Chartered, highlighted the resilience of the DeFi sector despite recent challenges, such as the $300 million exploit of KelpDAO. Kendrick argues that rapid stabilisation efforts and structural upgrades bolster the long-term prospects for DeFi banking and stablecoin liquidity, supporting the projected market growth.

ExxonMobil and Chevron have resisted pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump to increase oil production, according to Odaily. ExxonMobil stated that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz throughout the quarter is expected to result in a 3% decrease in global product solutions throughput in the second quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2025.

ExxonMobil and Chevron have declined the White House's request to increase oil production, maintaining their current strategies despite the U.S. government's efforts to address the most severe energy crisis in decades. According to Jin10, ExxonMobil CFO Neil Hansen stated that the company's strategy in the Permian Basin, a major U.S. oil and gas region, remains unchanged. Chevron CFO Eimear Bonner echoed this sentiment, noting that the crisis has not prompted any changes to their plans. The ongoing conflict in Iran has significantly reduced oil output in the Gulf region, impacting refining operations in the Middle East and beyond, potentially exacerbating global inflation. In response, the U.S. government has released strategic petroleum reserves and urged the industry to increase drilling activities. However, these two American energy giants continue to adhere to their pre-crisis strategies. Hansen remarked, "We don't see a need to accelerate because our production is already high and operating at full capacity. While we have considered the possibility of expanding production, there are indeed constraints." Bonner added, "We could increase production in the Permian, but that's not our strategy. Our focus is on increasing free cash flow, not production. You can't expect us to drastically change plans due to an eight-week supply disruption." These statements were made as both companies reported their first-quarter earnings on Friday.
