OFFSTAGE is introducing profiles of individuals within the Ethereum community. The initiative aims to highlight the people behind Ethereum's decentralized ecosystem. **Key Points:** - OFFSTAGE features community members and their contributions - Provides a human perspective on the Ethereum ecosystem - Complements ongoing community events and discussions about Ethereum's development This follows recent community gatherings like the Ethereum World's Fair, where topics such as the Ethereum Identity Stack were discussed.

Securitize has tokenized approximately $3.13 billion in real-world assets, with over 50% deployed on Ethereum mainnet or Layer 2 networks. **Key Points:** - Total tokenized assets: ~$3.13B - More than half on Ethereum infrastructure - Demonstrates Ethereum's expanding role in onchain capital markets This distribution signals institutional preference for Ethereum's ecosystem when bringing traditional assets onchain. The platform's choice reflects confidence in Ethereum's security and liquidity for tokenized securities.

**Ethereum continues to dominate real-world asset tokenization**, with 85% of tokenized commodities now operating on the network, according to RWA.xyz data. This follows a consistent trend: - Over 80% of Ondo Finance's tokenized treasuries and stocks run on Ethereum - Approximately 77% of Ondo's total value locked resides on Ethereum - Ondo's Ethereum presence represents ~11.6% of all RWA TVL on the network Ondo Finance issues tokenized real-world assets including equities, ETFs, and Treasury securities. The data reinforces Ethereum's position as the primary settlement layer for bringing traditional financial assets onchain. [Source: RWA.xyz](http://RWA.xyz)
