The growth of the electric scooter market is driven by the growing localization of electric scooter production in emerging economies, increasing consumer preference for electric two-wheelers over internal combustion engine (ICE) models, and the rising shift in developed economies toward electric-powered two-wheelers. However, increasing reliability concerns among consumers, stemming from a rise in accidents involving electric two-wheelers and insufficient investment by traditional two-wheeler manufacturers in electric scooter development, restrain the growth of this market.

The rise in government initiatives to mitigate traffic congestion and pollution is expected to generate market growth opportunities. On the other hand, a lack of charging infrastructure poses a major challenge for the market’s growth.

INCREASING LOCALIZATION OF ELECTRIC SCOOTER MANUFACTURING IN EMERGING ECONOMIES

The increasing traffic congestion and long commutes are driving commuters to seek more convenient, time-efficient, and cost-effective transportation options. Micro-mobility solutions, which are ideal for short distances and specific speed ranges, include bicycles, skateboards, e-bikes, scooters, skates, and small electric vehicles powered by rechargeable batteries. As micro-mobility gains traction, the industry has introduced vehicle-sharing alternatives. The scooter-sharing system, launched in 2018, allows users to access electric scooters for short-term use without the need for ownership. These dockless scooters, which do not have designated parking spots, can be located via an e-scooter application.

These scooters, which are now available in more than 100 cities worldwide, have been flooding streets since the introduction in recent years of sharing schemes similar to the cycle hire projects. There are, for example, more than 15,000 scooters available for hire on the streets of Paris. The vehicles are also growing in popularity due to their low environmental impact compared with other modes of transport. By 2023, electric two-wheelers will make up 8% of all two-wheelers on the road. Currently, this number stands at 2.5%. The monthly installs of e-scooter sharing apps like Bird and Lime increased by 580% during 2018-2019. This number will continue to increase as e-scooter-sharing services continue to gain popularity. The e-scooter revenue is anticipated to rise by 21% By 2023, as major developments and surges are expected in North America, Europe, and Latin America. Europe was quick to grab the e-scooter trend.

De¹ Introduces Tokenized Asset World on BNB Chain, Developing Financial Intelligence Across the Full RWA Financial Landscape

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — De¹ is launching Tokenized Asset World on BNB Chain, the first domain-specific world under its Financial World Model (FWM). It introduces specialized financial intelligence designed to understand the full onchain RWA landscape, from trading and collateral to borrowing, credit, liquidation and agent activity, and apply that knowledge to real financial decisions.

Traditional finance moves assets through separate networks of brokers, custodians, clearing systems and lenders. Each institution sees a different part of the lifecycle, while transfers, reconciliation and collateral requirements add friction to capital deployment. Bringing assets onchain makes financial activity more programmable, but it does not automatically connect the knowledge held across trading, financing and risk systems.

De¹ is establishing Tokenized Asset World on BNB Chain, where that real-assets financial ecosystem already unfolds in live markets. PancakeSwap, ListaDAO, Venus, Binance Agent OS and BNB Agent SDK span public trading, collateralized lending, structured credit and authorized agent activity. These activities produce distinct signals: executed prices, liabilities, vault constraints, liquidations and the outcomes of agent actions.

Tokenized Asset World brings fragmented financial knowledge into a coherent, learnable model of the full RWA landscape. The domain model is designed to understand the relationships and consequences across financial operations, with verified execution outcomes continuously refining De¹’s understanding of onchain financial physics. This introduces a new layer of intelligence to BNB Chain, enabling a more complete understanding of the tokenized-asset stack across trading, collateral, credit, vaults and agent activity.

AI agents can tap into this intelligence to operate across tokenized-asset markets with a more comprehensive view of liquidity, borrowing conditions, collateral exposure and liquidation risk as a whole. This deeper market understanding could raise more sophisticated strategies, execution and risk decisions. Each agent interaction, in turn, generates new evidence for the model, creating a continuous feedback loop between financial intelligence and live market execution while strengthening De¹’s broader Financial World Model.

About De¹

De¹ is the intelligent infrastructure platform at the intersection of DeFi and AI, building the Financial World Model grounded in live execution and real market feedback. It serves developers, traders, institutions, and AI agents through intelligent execution, unified liquidity, reinforcement learning optimization, and a continuously evolving data flywheel.
