Injective has expanded its infrastructure for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization following the recent Meridian Mainnet Upgrade. This move introduces compliance-focused features designed to appeal to institutional financial applications, potentially broadening the platform's appeal in the DeFi sector.

The upgrade aims to enhance the platform's ability to handle tokenized assets, which could include equities, commodities, and other traditional financial instruments. This development comes as Injective seeks to position itself as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralized systems.

Crypto Patel has outlined ambitious long-term price targets for INJ, suggesting it could reach $100. This prediction hinges on several factors, including the platform's adoption rate, the effectiveness of token burn mechanisms, and the overall momentum of the broader crypto market.

Currently, the total cryptocurrency market cap stands at $2.9 trillion, with Bitcoin showing a modest 24-hour gain of 0.69%. The Fear & Greed Index is at 61, indicating a 'Greed' sentiment in the market.

Injective's native token, INJ, is trading at $7.81, reflecting a 3.27% increase over the past 24 hours and a 5.46% rise over the last seven days. The token's market cap is approximately $781.45 million.
