A $1M commercial property split into 1,000 tokens. A gold bar you can buy a sliver of instead of the whole thing. This is what asset ownership looks like once it moves on-chain. Our latest piece digs into two of the clearest use cases for Tokenized Real World Assets: gold and real estate. It also unpacks the build vs. buy decision banks now face: spend years building the capability in house, or get to market in months through an API integration. Our CEO of Enterprise, Robin O'Connell, wrote a full breakdown of where this is heading and why banks are paying attention.

Today we launched on-chain XDC staking on Uphold - the first time this has been available on a major U.S. digital asset trading venue. Our customers can now stake the XDC they already hold directly on-chain through the Uphold platform, earning up to 6% in annual rewards.* No third-party wallets, no masternode setup, no 10 million token minimums. Until today, the only way to stake XDC was natively on the network - running or delegating to masternodes. No major U.S. exchange offered it. Now Uphold does. XDC Network is an enterprise-grade Layer 1 built for trade finance, ISO 20022 compliant, and targeting the $2.5 trillion trade finance gap identified by the Asian Development Bank. Uphold has been one of the largest custodians of XDC globally for some time, and this was a natural extension - giving our customers access to on-chain staking rewards while contributing to the security of the network. Built in partnership with Kiln, who run the node infrastructure to institutional standards, and the XDC Network team who've been great partners throughout. More to come... *Rewards are estimates, not guarantees. Actual returns may vary. Geographic restrictions apply.
