BNB Chain has reached a new high in tokenized real-world assets, with RWA.xyz data showing roughly $5.2 billion in tokenized assets on the network.

Sui has launched gas-free stablecoin transfers, a move that goes directly at one of the most annoying pieces of crypto payments: needing the network’s native token just to move dollars.
