Billionaire Peter Thiel is Betting on Ethereum to Become Wall Street's Preferred RWA Blockchain

2025.08.24 20:16:20

On August 24th, billionaire Peter Thiel is placing a bet that Ethereum will become the preferred platform for Real-World Assets (RWA) on Wall Street. His investment firm, Founders Fund, has made significant investments in Ethereum-related assets and has invested in multiple companies that hold Ethereum as a treasury reserve asset, such as ETHZilla and Bitmine. Peter Thiel's investment thesis for Ethereum is based on the notion that if Ethereum can serve as an alternative channel for settling USD, stocks, and other assets outside of the traditional financial system, then its native token will gain substantially from increased network activity.

A French residential property was broken into three times after its former owner was revealed to be a crypto millionaire, with two robbers sentenced.

A residence in France’s Somme department was targeted by three groups of robbers in less than a month, who demanded cryptocurrency ransom from the current owner. The incident stems from the former resident’s past crypto wealth, as their financial information was allegedly leaked to the dark web. Notably, the current owner does not hold the relevant crypto assets, and one of the robberies even resulted in the victim being bound and beaten. Two men involved in the third break-in have recently been sentenced to 3 years and 18 months in prison respectively. (Protos)
