According to Cointelegraph, the real estate industry is experiencing a significant digital transformation, with Dubai at the forefront of this change. Amira Sajwani, managing director at Damac Properties, and John Patrick Mullin, co-founder and CEO of Mantra, have unveiled a $1 billion initiative to tokenize real-world assets (RWAs), aiming to revolutionize global property investment. A common misconception about asset tokenization is its perceived link to cryptocurrency volatility. Sajwani addresses this by clarifying that while tokenized assets are on the blockchain, their volatility is tied to the underlying asset rather than the fluctuations of cryptocurrencies. Unlike cryptocurrencies, tokenized real estate assets derive their value from tangible properties, providing stability and practical utility to investors. Although still in its infancy, the potential of tokenized real estate is vast. Mullin anticipates a future where trillions of dollars in real-world assets will be integrated into the blockchain ecosystem. Currently, the market is valued in the tens of billions, but expectations are for it to grow into the trillions, indicating a long journey ahead. For this industry to flourish, it will require robust market participants, innovation, and regulatory clarity. Mantra’s collaborative approach aims to accelerate adoption and competition within the sector. Real estate is considered an ideal use case for tokenization, offering a compelling value proposition compared to other asset classes like gold or fine art. Sajwani believes real estate is the best asset for tokenization due to its inherent value and yield. Unlike gold, which only provides value upon sale, real estate offers a steady income stream through rental yields. Tokenization enables fractional ownership, reducing entry barriers for investors while providing consistent income. As Damac and Mantra advance their billion-dollar plan, the future of real estate investment is becoming more accessible, transparent, and efficient. With Dubai leading the charge, blockchain-powered real estate could soon become the norm, opening global investment opportunities to millions.

According to CoinDesk, recent reports suggest that following U.S. President Donald Trump's inauguration, his son, Eric Trump, indicated that U.S.-based cryptocurrencies might soon be exempt from capital gains tax, while non-U.S. cryptocurrencies could face a 30% tax. This potential policy shift could have significant implications for the global cryptocurrency market. The prospect of eliminating capital gains taxes on U.S.-based cryptocurrencies is appealing to American investors, but it raises concerns about its broader impact. If implemented, this policy could lead to market instability as U.S. investors might sell off non-U.S. cryptocurrencies, accepting the tax penalty, and redirect their investments into domestic options. This shift could increase selling pressure on global projects, particularly those heavily reliant on U.S. investors. The long-term consequences for the crypto industry could be profound, affecting market dynamics and investor behavior. Moreover, implementing such a tax exemption without establishing robust regulatory frameworks could be detrimental. The absence of capital gains tax might trigger a surge in new cryptocurrency projects within the U.S., reminiscent of the 2017 Initial Coin Offering (ICO) boom, where a significant number of projects failed or were fraudulent. Without clear regulations, the market could experience chaos, potentially deterring new investors who are attracted by the tax benefits but vulnerable to exploitation by bad actors. The global crypto industry could also face challenges if U.S. venture capital shifts focus to domestic projects to capitalize on tax-free returns. This could lead to reduced investment in emerging markets, where cryptocurrencies often play a crucial role in financial inclusion. Additionally, the return of U.S. firms that previously relocated due to regulatory pressures could further concentrate investment within the U.S., potentially stifling innovation abroad. Even if other countries adopt similar tax exemptions for local cryptocurrencies, the market could become oversaturated with new tokens, leading to fragmented trading and reduced liquidity. While some regions like the UAE and Cayman Islands already offer zero capital gains tax on crypto, they apply it universally, not just to locally-created tokens. The U.S. approach could skew the market, encourage artificial token creation, and isolate American investors from the global crypto economy, ultimately undermining competition and the credibility of the cryptocurrency sector.

According to Foresight News, Bloomberg reports that BlackRock has introduced its Bitcoin ETF into its model investment portfolio, potentially creating a new demand channel for IBIT. BlackRock has allocated 1% to 2% of its $48 billion iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (ticker: IBIT) to allow for alternative investments. Although this represents a small portion of BlackRock's overall model portfolio business, it opens a potential demand path for IBIT amid a downturn in cryptocurrency sentiment. Model portfolios, which package funds into ready-made strategies for sale to financial advisors, have seen significant growth in recent years. Adjustments to their holdings can lead to substantial capital flows in either direction.

According to CoinDesk, Bitdeer Technologies (BTDR) has announced the acquisition of 50 bitcoin (BTC), capitalizing on the opportunity as the cryptocurrency's price appeared poised for its most significant monthly decline since June 2022. The bitcoin mining company disclosed via a tweet that it paid an average price of $81,475 per bitcoin for this purchase. This acquisition increases Bitdeer's total bitcoin holdings to 855 BTC, valued at approximately $69 million, based on data from Bitcoin Treasuries. Despite this strategic move, the company's shares experienced a slight decline, falling 0.64% at the market open to just below $11. This drop coincided with a broader downturn in the cryptocurrency market, which saw bitcoin and other digital assets decrease by 4% over a 24-hour period. However, the crypto market showed signs of recovery at the start of U.S. trading hours, with bitcoin prices climbing above $82,000.
