Golden Ten Data, March 4 — According to Reuters, industry sources and ship tracking data show that an oil tanker crossed the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, heading to a UAE port to load crude oil. This is a rare voyage since the Middle East conflict disrupted regional shipping. LSEG data indicates that the Suezmax tanker Pola turned off its AIS (Automatic Identification System) tracking signal when approaching the Strait of Hormuz on the evening of March 2, and reappeared near Abu Dhabi on March 3. Two trade sources said the vessel is heading to Jebel Dhanna port to load Abu Dhabi's Murban crude, with Thailand as its destination. Ship tracking agency Vortexa shows that only four crude oil tankers crossed the Strait of Hormuz on March 1, while the daily average since January has been about 24 vessels.

Odaily reported that Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that he previously expected the traditional market to take 5 to 10 years to migrate massively onto the blockchain. However, during the period when the US and Israel launched attacks on Iran and major global stock markets were closed, a large number of investors flocked to crypto platforms to trade tokenized assets, significantly accelerating the anticipated timeline for the adoption of "on-chain finance." The perpetual contract platform Hyperliquid has become a trading hub for real-world assets (RWA) such as crude oil and tokenized gold. "For most of Sunday, on-chain finance became the center of the global financial market." Data shows that Hyperliquid's total trading volume exceeded $11.5 billions over Saturday and Sunday. Additionally, Tether's tokenized gold product, Tether Gold, saw its 24-hour trading volume surge above $300 millions at one point, and trading volumes on prediction market platforms Kalshi and Polymarket also increased significantly.
