XRP is showing signs of strain after a sharp drop in a key ledger metric. The token's price is also under pressure, struggling to maintain the $1.30 level.

Coinbase has integrated Chainlink's DataLink service to publish its exchange market data directly onchain for the first time, the companies said. The rollout is designed to give DeFi applications access to institutional-grade inputs for pricing and risk management. Under the integration, Coinbase will distribute premium datasets including spot prices, order book information, perpetual futures and broader derivatives data. The feed also covers Coinbase International Exchange and Coinbase Derivatives Exchange, spanning crypto markets as well as metals, energy and equity futures. Chainlink provides the data delivery layer, standardizing feeds so developers can consume verified market inputs without building bespoke infrastructure. Coinbase said the data is used across markets representing billions of dollars in trading volume. The new onchain data channel is expected to support lending protocols, derivatives venues and synthetic asset platforms, along with structured products and tokenized real-world asset applications. Coinbase Markets VP Liz Martin said the deployment builds on prior work with Chainlink and marks the first time Coinbase market data is being delivered onchain via DataLink. Chainlink Labs CBO Johann Eid said the goal is to bring exchange-level data securely into programmable blockchain environments. The DataLink rollout follows earlier Coinbase-Chainlink technical collaborations, including a Base-Solana bridge secured by Chainlink CCIP and Coinbase's selection of CCIP as its exclusive interoperability provider for wrapped assets.

Tokenization is accelerating the shift of real-world assets (RWAs) onto blockchains by turning ownership into digital tokens. Data cited from RWA.xyz show Total Tokenized Assets at $26.6 billion, representing $360.5 billion in underlying asset value. At the current pace, RWAs are projected to top $10 trillion by 2030. Franklin Templeton is the latest major asset manager to enter the space. Ondo Finance said it has partnered with Franklin Templeton to roll out tokenized exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Through the arrangement, Ondo Global Markets will make Franklin Templeton ETFs available inside crypto wallets, enabling 24/7 trading, broader access, faster settlement, and improved liquidity. The rollout is expected to span multiple regions, including Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. A U.S. launch could come later, pending regulatory approval. Ondo Markets has expanded quickly, with tokenized assets rising to $1.8 billion, including $1.4 billion in Treasuries and $400k in stocks. More than 32 stocks have already been tokenized on the platform, pointing to growing RWA demand. The tokenization trend is also gaining traction in gold. Tokenized gold has surpassed $4 billion, fueling interest in infrastructure that links on-chain tokens to verifiable physical holdings. Comtech Gold is one example, issuing CGO on the XDC Network. CGO is designed to be backed 1:1 by physical gold; buyers acquire an equivalent amount of gold that can be redeemed for physical delivery. Despite the headline partnership, ONDO's price reaction has been muted. ONDO pulled back from an intraday high of $0.27 to a local low of $0.25, raising the risk of a trend break after three straight days of gains. The Relative Strength Index slipped from 51 to 49, approaching a bearish crossover. If selling pressure persists, the token could retest support at $0.24. A rebound could lift ONDO back above $0.26 and set up a move toward $0.29. Key takeaways: Ondo Global Markets aims to deliver 24/7 ETF trading via crypto wallets with quicker settlement, while tokenized gold has moved beyond $4B as platforms like Comtech Gold push 1:1-backed digital gold.

Katana's $KAT token climbed 40% over the past 24 hours, placing it among the day's top gainers, according to CoinMarketCap data. The move follows new listings on Korean exchanges Bithumb and Upbit. Trading remains concentrated on Bitget and Binance, which lead in volume with 26.11% and 15.24%, respectively.

Katana (KAT), the native token of the Katana Network, surged 53% on the day after landing listings on South Korea's major exchanges Upbit and Bithumb. The two venues introduced direct KRW trading pairs for KAT, giving the token immediate access to a retail-heavy market known for quick reactions to new listings. The rally came with a sharp pickup in activity. Daily turnover rose to several times its prior average, pointing to heightened interest from traders and speculators. Market participants are watching whether that volume can hold; sustained flows often help extend upside tests, while a sudden cooling in trading can trigger fast pullbacks. Katana's move also follows product-side developments. The project recently acquired IDEX and launched Katana Perps, a native perpetual futures platform. By bringing derivatives trading into its own ecosystem, Katana aims to keep more activity on-network and attract professional liquidity providers and market makers, supporting deeper and more stable market conditions. Technically, KAT is trading near a recent local high. Traders are monitoring support around $0.014 and near-term resistance at $0.016. A hold above $0.014 could keep the bullish setup intact and open the door to a retest of $0.016, while a break lower would shift attention to the next support area near $0.012. Volume remains the key signal. Daily turnover above $100 million would reinforce the current momentum and reduce the odds of an abrupt correction. If volume slips below $50 million, it may indicate fading interest and raise the risk of a near-term pullback. The mix of top-tier exchange exposure, elevated volumes and the Katana Perps rollout is providing both short-term momentum and longer-term structural upside. At the same time, traders should account for the potential for sharp swings if participation cools.
