David Katz, vice president of strategy and policy for Circle Asia Pacific, said tokenized real-world assets such as stocks and bonds traded in local markets could increase demand for stablecoins tied to those countries’ currencies, The Herald Business reported from a panel at the inaugural World Digital Asset Forum in Seoul.

He described South Korea’s digital asset trading environment as among the world’s most robust and said the level of energy around digital assets in Seoul stands up against anywhere in the world. At the same time, Katz stressed that while Bitcoin’s market capitalization has reached $1.5 trillion, it remains small relative to the real economy, adding that South Korea’s bigger opportunity lies in the real economy.

Ben Werkman, chief investment officer at Strive (ASST), said Bitcoin treasury companies, or DATs, use three main funding tools: equity offerings, credit instruments such as preferred stock and bonds, and share buybacks. In a post on X, Werkman said these companies typically raise funds through common stock issuance and buy BTC when their shares trade above the value of the Bitcoin they hold. To avoid diluting existing shareholders, they can also issue credit products in the form of preferred stock or bonds to fund BTC purchases, he said. When shares are undervalued or excess cash is available, companies can boost per-share value through buybacks, according to Werkman. Werkman said long-term shareholder value can rise when companies maintain a balanced approach across the three methods: equity issuance that takes advantage of a share-price premium, greater leverage through bonds and preferred stock, and share repurchases.

Bitcoin’s market reaction to the large-scale Binance hack was relatively limited compared with past crises, Fitch Ratings said. Fitch said roughly $6.3 billion was stolen across multiple blockchains in the Binance hack, which it described as the largest hacking incident in the crypto industry to date. Despite the scale of the theft and Binance’s temporary suspension of withdrawals and trading, Bitcoin fell only about 6% in the 10 hours after the initial report. By comparison, Bitcoin dropped 35% in a single day during the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, 14% during the 2022 FTX collapse, and 21% during the 2015 Bitstamp hack. The report said the limited market shock may reflect a maturing and more diversified crypto trading market. As the Bitcoin trading ecosystem has broadened, dependence on any single exchange has declined, Fitch said.
