The official announcement described the move as groundbreaking, with the company’s Head of Crypto, Arush Sehgal stating:
We’re building further tools to help developers bridge traditional and crypto rails compliantly with investor protections and market integrity at the core.

Alpaca will showcase ITN at Singapore’s TON Sage, which has already started at the time of writing.
The news is bullish for the RWA market as a whole and PEPENODE ($PEPENODE) presales in particular, which stand to gain a lot of attention in 2025.
The Growing Trend of Tokenizing Real-World Assets (RWAs)
Alpaca is one of the latest entries in the world of tokenized RWAs, but it’s not the only one. World Liberty Financial, tied to the Trump family, plans a similar move after announcing its coming debit card by the end of the year.
The card will ‘bridge crypto assets with everyday spending’, according to Zach Witkoff’s, CEO of WLI, comments during the Singapore’s Token 2049 event.
Donald Trump Jr. expanded on WLI’s long-term strategy by declaring Wednesday, during the same event:
Ultimately, we’re looking to create utility; that’s something that’s been largely missing in crypto. That could be from commodities to tokenization to retail-type users like the debit card.
—Donald Trump Jr., Official CNBC statement
WLI’s USD1 is currently the fifth-largest stablecoin in the world with a market cap of $2.68B and steady performance around the $1 mark across its entire lifespan.
The tokenization of the RWA space is a growing trend in 2025 and the momentum is likely to ramp up this Q4.
RWA.xyz’s charts tell a telling story. The world of tokenized stocks exploded in January 2025, increasing the ecosystem’s total value to over $1.25B, 244.84% up over the last 30 days, with almost $490M in monthly transfers.
Given Alpaca’s and WLI’s recent announcements, we expect the crypto market to see an influx of investors as the movement gains traction.
PEPENODE stands to gain a lot in 2025 and beyond, as investors take notice of the project’s innovative and rewarding presale.
How PEPENODE Keeps Its Presale Engaging and Rewarding
PEPENODE ($PEPENODE) aims to redesign the concept of crypto presales by rewarding early participation and turning the event interactive and engaging.
Two words: coin mining.
PEPENODE allows you to buy mining nodes, upgrade them, and build your own virtual crypto mining facility. No need to buy expensive mining equipment or struggle with thick electricity bills.
Once the Virtual Mining Simulator goes live, the leaderboard begins to track the miners’ performance, rewarding the most productive names with higher staking rewards and even meme coins like PEPE and Fartcoin once Phase 4 rolls out.
Most importantly, earlier nodes generate higher returns, despite not offering meme coin rewards until after the TGE event. Which means it’s still worth investing early on to create your powerful server room as early as possible.
The presale is still in its initial phase and has raised over $1.58M so far, with $PEPENODE selling at $0.0010831.
And if that’s not juicy enough for you, the dynamic staking rewards with an 829% APY should do it. Because the staking rewards are dynamic, the APY will drop as more investors join the staking pool, which further incentivizes early organic participation.
This isn’t financial advice. Do your own research (DYOR) and invest wisely.
