ApeCoin goes omnichain! APE, the native token of ApeChain and a core part of the Yuga Labs ecosystem, can now move seamlessly between ApeChain, Ethereum, and Arbitrum as an OFT. It powers transaction fees, enables voting in ApeCoin DAO, and serves as a payment method across Yuga Labs titles and real-world purchases. Thanks to its new Native Yield mechanism developed with Decent, users can automatically earn yield on their APE holdings while enjoying full cross-chain functionality. With LayerZero Labs’s Omnichain Fungible Token upgrade, ApeCoin has become the first token to generate native yield and fuel its own chain, marking a breakthrough for interoperability across blockchains. #ApeCoin #ApeChain #LayerZero #Omnichain #Interoperability

Tokenizing Real-World Assets (RWAs) could unlock exponential growth for web3. According to a report, this sector is set for 50x growth by 2030, turning trillions in illiquid assets into tradable tokens. This shift could revolutionize industries like real estate and finance, bringing liquidity to traditionally illiquid markets and enabling seamless, borderless transactions. For Animoca Ventures, this aligns with our focus on scaling infrastructure and unlocking asset liquidity. By supporting projects that enable RWA tokenization, we're helping to lay the foundation for a more efficient and accessible global financial system, one rooted in the principles of digital ownership and equity. The projected growth of RWAs highlights why scalable, interoperable infrastructure is critical to the future of web3. As these assets become integral to the blockchain ecosystem, we’re excited to see how tokenization can drive new economic opportunities globally.

LayerZero's partnership with Eigen Labs is a milestone for cross-chain interoperability and security in Web3. By integrating Eigenlayer’s re-staking, LayerZero Labs is reinforcing cross-chain messaging — making interactions between blockchains more resilient, efficient, and secure. This aligns deeply with our focus at Animoca Ventures on supporting the critical infrastructure needed to onboard the next billion Web3 users. True scalability and seamless cross-chain communication are essential to making Web3 as user-friendly and intuitive as Web2, and LayerZero is leading the way with these foundational improvements. We’re particularly excited about the impact this has on digital property rights — ensuring assets can move freely and securely between chains. This kind of robust infrastructure is what will make true digital ownership meaningful, and it’s exactly the kind of progress needed to drive broad adoption and a more open, equitable Web3. #Interoperability #Restaking #Web3 #Blockchain #DigitalAsset Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/gznquAHU

Visa’s launch of a tokenized asset platform on Ethereum marks a major shift in how banks and blockchain will interact. By enabling banks to issue fiat-backed tokens on Ethereum, Visa is creating a bridge between traditional banking and decentralized systems. Tokenized fiat on a global blockchain network not only increases liquidity but also gives users more control over their assets in a decentralized framework. Visa’s move brings us closer to a future where digital property rights are a reality, reinforcing our mission to empower individuals through true ownership of their digital assets. As Visa pushes TradFi closer to tokenization, the broader adoption of blockchain becomes inevitable. It’s exciting to witness this convergence — it’s where the future is headed, and it’s a vision we at Animoca Ventures are actively building towards.
