In 2022, I co-authored an academic paper proposing a three-part scoring system for NFTs: liquidity, utility, and rarity. Most people still judge NFTs on rarity alone, which is why so many end up holding rare, illiquid, useless assets. This piece breaks the framework down in plain language, updates it for 2026's utility-driven NFT market, and gives three simple questions to ask before buying or holding.

    Why Governments and Institutions Are Putting Sovereign Debt Onchain

    This story was originally published on HackerNoon at: https://hackernoon.com/why-governments-and-institutions-are-putting-sovereign-debt-onchain. Governments from Hong Kong to the Marshall Islands are issuing debt onchain. Here is what blockchain changes for sovereign bonds. Check more stories related to web3 at: https://hackernoon.com/c/web3. You can also check exclusive content about #stellar, #sovereign-debt-onchain, #tokenization, #startup, #technology, #web3, #good-company, #instituitional-investments, and more. This story was written by: @ishanpandey. Learn more about this writer by checking @ishanpandey's about page, and for more stories, please visit hackernoon.com. Yesterday the European Central Bank launched Pontes, a live service that settles tokenised assets in central bank money. It also said it will invest part of its own funds in tokenised euro-area government bonds. Hong Kong has sold HK$16.8 billion of digital government bonds across three issues. The UK's digital gilt is scheduled for early 2027. This is no longer a pilot phase. The reasons are concrete: settlement that closes in seconds rather than a day, on every day of the year; bonds that carry their own compliance and payment logic; cash legs that settle in stablecoins or tokenised central bank money; issuance and servicing costs that the industry puts at $15 to $20 billion a year in potential savings; and minimum tickets that fall from $100,000 to $30 or less. The case study is Stellar. It holds about $490 million of tokenised non-US government debt, more than any other public blockchain, out of a $1.06 billion global total. It passed Ethereum in that category in February 2026 and has stayed ahead every day since. The roster on Stellar spans five continents: Spiko's euro T-bill fund, Etherfuse Stablebonds wrapping Mexican CETES and Brazilian Tesouro paper, South Korean Treasury Bonds, the Marshall Islands' USDM1 sovereign bond, plus BENJI, USDY and WTGXX on the US side. Total tokenised real-world assets on the network went from about $500 million in early 2025 to $4 billion by the end of August. What is still missing is the cash leg for the largest sovereign markets. The UK's pilot hinges on it, the ECB has just built it and Stellar's answer is native USDC and euro stablecoins already on the ledger.

    Why Banks Are Building Tokenized Deposit Networks

    This story was originally published on HackerNoon at: https://hackernoon.com/why-banks-are-building-tokenized-deposit-networks. Banks are racing to launch tokenized deposits by 2027 to fight stablecoin deposit flight. Here's why neither wins outright — they're splitting the market.

Stablecoins and tokenized deposits aren't competing for the same prize — they're splitting the market. Banks (JPMorgan, Citi, BofA, Wells Fargo) are building a shared tokenized deposit network via The Clearing House, launching H1 2027, to stop yield-bearing stablecoins from draining checking accounts they need for lending. But tokenized deposits are permissioned and KYC-gated, so they'll dominate wholesale finance (settlement, treasury, trade finance) while stablecoins keep winning retail crypto and DeFi. The real story isn't who wins — it's that banks just admitted 24/7 programmable money is now the baseline, not a crypto fad.
