The second wave of policy spring breeze: the "Trump-style revival" of the old public chain

Author: Revc, Golden Finance

Recently, the price of XRP soared to $2.84, and its market value exceeded $146 billion, making it the world's third largest crypto asset. This phenomenon is mainly driven by the following factors:

• New product layout: Ripple actively launched ETFs and stablecoins to attract more institutional investors.

• Favorable policy expectations: The new US government will adopt a more friendly crypto regulatory policy.

• Market capital inflow: Whale accounts are active, driving market sentiment.

As XRP drives market sentiment, related concept projects such as AVAX, LINK, ONDO and HBAR recorded an average increase of more than 30%. With the continuation of policies, the market expects that Wall Street capital is more inclined to choose blockchain infrastructure with strong stability and corporate operation to achieve the entry of real world assets (RWA) and stablecoin capital.

Avalanche——AVAX

AVAX has recorded a 22.86% increase in the past 7 days, and its 24-hour trading volume has increased by nearly 100%. Emin Gün Sirer, founder and CEO of Ava Labs, revealed in response to questions from community users on the X platform that Avalanche (AVAX) is in discussion with the incoming US government. He said that the team will not show off its political relationship with the government on social media, but will directly present the results in a "complete Avalanche style" and advise the community to "make plans accordingly."

Avalanche (AVAX) is a blockchain platform focused on supporting the creation of decentralized applications (dApps) and custom blockchain networks with high scalability, fast processing speeds, and strong interoperability. The platform uses a unique consensus protocol, Snowman Consensus Protocol, and operates under the Proof of Stake (PoS) framework. The Avalanche platform consists of the following three main blockchains:

- X-Chain: for asset creation and exchange.

- C-Chain: supports smart contracts and is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).

- P-Chain: for coordinating validators and subnet management.

Avalanche Recent Progress

1. Avalanche9000 Upgrade 

- Reduce the cost of launching Layer 1 blockchain (L1) by 99.9%.

- Reduce C-Chain's Gas fee by 96%.

- Enhance inter-chain interoperability.

This upgrade has been launched on the Fuji testnet and is planned to be deployed to the mainnet, providing developers with a simpler process for creating customized blockchains.

2. Community and Ecosystem Growth

Avalanche's community activities have increased significantly, and it has strengthened its infrastructure and dApp ecosystem through cooperation with Amazon Web Services (AWS).

3. Avalanche Rush and DeFi Expansion

The Avalanche Rush project provides incentives for DeFi protocols such as Aave and Curve, and despite initial complaints about low APY, the project has significantly increased liquidity and user base, driving the expansion of the entire ecosystem.

Chainlink-LINK

LINK has recorded a 44.8% increase in the past 7 days, and its 24-hour trading volume has increased by nearly 757%. Recently, the Trump family's crypto project World Liberty Financial (WLFI) announced that it will adopt Chainlink as a standard solution for on-chain data and cross-chain interoperability. The protocol plans to first integrate Chainlink oracles on the Ethereum mainnet to provide price feed support and help the upcoming Aave v3 lending protocol. WLFI will be connected to the Chainlink ecosystem, which currently supports more than $16 trillion in transactions. With the help of Chainlink oracles, the WLFI protocol will be able to obtain reliable financial market data and support the listing of multiple assets such as USDC, USDT, ETH, WBTC, etc.

Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network that aims to enhance the capabilities of blockchain applications by securely connecting smart contracts with real-world data and external APIs. It enables blockchain smart contracts to interact with external systems and becomes an important infrastructure for the real-world asset (RWA) track. Chainlink's native token LINK is used to pay node operators for data retrieval and provision, thereby ensuring the economic sustainability of the network.

Chainlink’s technology continues to expand, with successful integrations into multiple blockchain platforms, including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Optimism, and Solana. Many projects use Chainlink to provide services such as price feeds, cross-chain interoperability, and more. Recently, Chainlink announced partnerships with financial institutions such as ANZ , Swift , and UBS , and launched Chainlink Economics 2.0 to support network sustainability, and Chainlink Scale to help blockchain ecosystems become more efficient.

Chainlink recently announced the launch of CCIP Private Transactions, powered by the newly released Chainlink Blockchain Privacy Manager. This privacy-preserving feature will help financial institutions ensure data confidentiality, integrity, and compliance when transacting across blockchain networks. In addition,Chainlink has partnered with the EU company21X to promote the launch of a tokenized asset settlement system, providing reliable pricing and on-chain event data connections for financial data.BancoCentralBR also choseChainlink standards for secure settlement of itsDrex project to ensure the secure operation of borders, blockchains, and currencies in different fields.

ONDO

ONDO has recorded a 44.8% increase in the past 7 days, and its 24-hour trading volume has increased by nearly 291%. Ondo Finance is a protocol dedicated to tokenizing traditional financial assets (TradFi) and introducing blockchain. Through tokenization, it provides on-chain financial products for institutions, aiming to benefit more investors. Ondo’s native token, ONDO, plays a key role in governance, staking, and ecological incentives. Ondo has made significant progress in tokenizing U.S. Treasuries, launching products such as OUSG (U.S. Government Bond Fund) and USDY (yield stablecoin), which have attracted widespread attention. At the same time, Ondo has successfully completed FinCEN registration, further enhancing its compliance. Through technical integration with Polyhedra Network and LayerZero, Ondo also achieves cross-chain interoperability. In addition, Ondo's cooperation with PayPal USD (PYUSD) provides 24-hour exchange functions. Hedera-HBAR HBAR has recorded a 163.12% increase in the past 7 days, and its 24-hour trading volume has also increased by nearly 95%.

Hedera played a central role in a project with BlackRock, one of the world’s largest asset managers, to tokenize money market funds (MMFs). The project brought together several key partners, including:

• Archax: providing trading and custody services.

• Ownera: supporting underwriting and compliance in the tokenization process.

• HBAR Foundation: providing technical and financial support.

In this collaboration, Hedera uses its blockchain technology to realize the ledger record of tokenized assets, ensuring the transparency and security of data. Tokenization makes the transaction of traditional assets more flexible and efficient, and simplifies the purchase and redemption process.

Hedera uses the Hashgraph consensus algorithm based on directed acyclic graph (DAG), which has the following significant features:

• High efficiency: It can process thousands of transactions per second with extremely low latency.

• Controllable nodes: It is dominated by enterprise nodes to meet the high requirements of enterprises for stability and consistency.

• Decentralization: Compared with the fully decentralized public chain, Hedera is more suitable for enterprise-level application scenarios.

This design makes Hedera particularly suitable for financial institutions like BlackRock, providing strong support for the issuance and trading of its tokenized assets.

Summary

The recent recovery of the crypto market has benefited from the promotion of favorable policies and the support of technological innovation. XRP's strong performance has led to the rise of related concept projects, especially AVAX, LINK and HBAR, which have consolidated their market position through ecological cooperation, tokenized asset applications and technological progress. In the future, RWA and DeFi stablecoin tracks will become the core areas of deep integration between the crypto industry and traditional finance.
