Hanwha Invests $13 Million in Kresus Labs to Advance Seedless Wallet and RWA Tokenization

2 hours ago

**February 19th** CoinDesk reports that South Korean VC firm Hanwha Investment & Securities has invested roughly $13 million in U.S. blockchain infrastructure company Kresus Labs. The funding will advance Kresus’s enterprise digital wallet technology and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization platform. The investment stems from a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed during December 2023’s Abu Dhabi Financial Week, which aims to expand Kresus’s on-chain financial workflows. Kresus specializes in building consumer and institutional digital asset tools—including “seedless” wallet recovery (no 12-24 word seed phrase), multi-party computation (MPC)-based secure systems, institution-grade wallet infrastructure, and a tokenization platform. Hanwha plans to leverage this tech to enhance its digital asset services and develop tokenized traditional financial products. The move underscores ongoing institutional interest in blockchain infrastructure, even amid cryptocurrency market volatility.

FedSpeak: Fed Minutes Do Not Clearly Define Timeline for Inflation to Return to 2%, Reflecting Weakened Confidence in Inflation Path

On February 19, Wall Street Journal reporter Nick Timiraos—dubbed the “Fed’s Whisperer” for his close ties to Federal Reserve officials—said what was **missing** from the latest Fed meeting minutes matters more than what was included. Last year, Fed staff repeatedly projected inflation would hit the central bank’s 2% target by 2027 through the December policy meeting; the December minutes pushed that timeline to 2028. The January minutes, however, did **not explicitly state when inflation would reach 2%**. They only noted the forecast was “slightly higher and remained balanced” relative to December’s outlook, and that tariff impacts would fade after mid-year, with inflation resuming its prior downward trend. The phrase “and reach 2% by 2028” from earlier minutes was absent. Timiraos argued this signals the Fed’s **diminished confidence** in the inflation path. Tight resource utilization and rising import prices led staff to confirm a slightly higher forecast than December—but
