The cryptocurrency market saw a 2.56% rise in the past 24 hours, in line with a weekly gain of 8.67%. This increase was driven by key factors such as rising interest in real asset (RWA) tokens, institutional momentum on Binance, and positive market derivatives activity.
Real Asset Tokens (RWA) surge – Real estate tokens topped the charts (+6% in 24 hours) led by projects like Propy which achieved a weekly increase of +35%, supported by positive regulatory developments.
Binance Dominance – The number of BNB Chain network users tripled in 2025, and Bitcoin futures trading volume reached $100 billion.
Technical Breakout – Market cap has crossed $3.21 trillion, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 74, indicating upward momentum.
Detailed analysis
1. Real asset tokenization boom (positive impact)
Overview:
Real estate-focused projects such as Propy (+35.21% week-over-week) and the Integra network, which manages more than $12 billion in assets powered by blockchain, have seen significant growth in the sector. The story of real asset tokens gained momentum after OKX Research highlighted their potential to connect the estimated $400 trillion real estate market with decentralized finance (DeFi).
What does that mean?
Institutions are increasingly interested in tokenized assets, such as BlackRock's $2.8 billion BUIDL fund, directing capital toward cryptocurrencies, especially in layer-one networks like Solana and Ethereum.
What to watch for:
July 2026 deadlines for compliance with the EU MiCA law, which may accelerate the adoption of real asset tokens.
2. Binance ecosystem recovery (positive impact)
Overview:
Binance Japan's integration with PayPay, which serves 70 million users, and Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) trading volume rising to $7.5 billion per day, contributed to BNB's weekly gain of 7.01%. Social conversations also highlighted the listing of new futures contracts (such as $ASTER) and a pardon from CEO CZ that reshaped the regulatory landscape.
What does that mean?
Binance's dominance of Bitcoin trading volume at 35.4% (CoinMarketCap) indicates a restoration of confidence and attracting previously reticent capital.
What to watch for:
Rumors of Gates Group listing on the Nasdaq during the first quarter of 2026, which runs a $200 billion real asset token initiative.
3. Derivatives driven liquidity (mixed effect)
Overview:
Trading volume in perpetual contracts increased by 131% to $1.37 trillion, while liquidations of short positions in Bitcoin reached $60.34 million (+93% in 24 hours). However, financing rates fell by 79%, indicating a slowdown in the use of leverage.
What does that mean?
The market is witnessing a balance between intense speculation from individual investors (FOMO) and institutional hedging, creating volatile but upward conditions.
Conclusion
The current market rally reflects a confluence of factors such as the adoption of real asset tokens, the recovery of the Binance architecture, and increased derivatives-driven liquidity. Although technical indicators point to an overbought condition (RSI at 74), the cryptocurrency's 24-hour correlation to the IWM indicator at 0.88 indicates that traders are anticipating a risk-inducing economic environment.
