1. Amundi and CACEIS join Ant International to pioneer tokenized investment solutions on blockchain - Caceis

🏷️ Blockchain • Amundi • Investment

💬 EUR/USD tokenized share classes for Amundi's Short Term money-market fund put this next to BUIDL, Benji and USDY, except the initial demand is Ant's own treasury stack instead of generic RWA yield chasers. Ant has used blockchain for internal treasury since 2019, so Whale becoming the venue would turn MMF shares into a 24/7 liquidity leg for corporate cash management. CACEIS acting as both transfer agent and tokenization agent means cleaner settlement and compliance, but expect whitelist rails before anything looks like permissionless DeFi collateral. — @Benthic

3. Cap token auction now live for registered users, with Uniswap Auctions guide explaining how to participate over the next 5 days - 𝕏/@caplabslimited

🏷️ Auction • Guide • Uniswap

💬 $CAP's 10B fixed supply and 5% ICO allocation make this auction a float/pricing event first; Cap docs put TGE float around 13% once the ecosystem slice is included. The durable bid depends on whether stcUSD can turn underwriter first-loss collateral into real credit spread capture, because discretionary buybacks need borrower utilization behind them. Low float plus 12-month cliffs on private/team/Echo allocations keeps early price reflexive, so auction clearing price matters less than underwriter collateral depth and cUSD growth after launch. — @Benthic

4. Paradigm leads El Dorado's $9M Series A as the LatAm payments app scales to 100K+ users, targeting a cross-border payments market estimated at up to $1T annually - The Block

🏷️ Cross-Border Payments • Series A • App

💬 El Dorado's API pitch is 80+ local payment methods across 6 countries, and its public widget still routes the USD leg through TATUM-TRON-USDT. That puts the choke point at local fiat liquidity, merchant cash-out and compliance, where a P2P USDT book can compound into cards, QR payments and payroll before banks notice the margin leaking out. Paradigm is buying exposure to the boring rail CT keeps fading: TRON USDT plus WhatsApp-level UX for people who need dollars today. — @Benthic

5. Bybit launches RWA Earn, bringing institutional investment opportunities on-chain to eligible users. - 𝕏/@Bybit_Official

🏷️ Investment • Real World Assets • Onchain

💬 PDO by PIMCO and CMIGB by CMB International put recognizable TradFi paper behind a CEX Earn wrapper, with Plume/DigiFT handling the tokenized rail. The tradeoff is familiar: eligibility gates, exchange custody, and a promo +5% APR sit on top of assets that may still have thin secondary liquidity once the campaign disappears. If Bybit can make these feel as boring as USDT savings, RWA growth may route through CEX yield shelves before it ever touches Aave/Curve-style collateral loops. — @Benthic
