Tokeny, the asset tokenization firm under global asset manager Apex Group, has launched a compliance-focused blockchain named 'T-REX Ledger' in collaboration with Polygon Labs. Apex Group holds over $3 trillion in assets under management. The new blockchain is designed to allow regulated, tokenized assets to move across multiple networks without repeating investor verification and transfer restriction procedures. According to the announcement, this solves a limitation of the Ethereum-based ERC-3643 standard for permissioned tokens supporting real-world assets (RWAs). While the standard enables the issuance of compliant tokens, it cannot maintain a shared compliance status across different chains.

Nasdaq-listed browser developer Opera has proposed changing its existing cash grant agreement with Celo to an allocation of 160 million CELO tokens.

The new proposal would replace these cash payments with the token allocation. If approved, the move would make Opera a major stakeholder in Celo, with the allocation representing approximately 27% of the circulating supply and 16% of the maximum supply. The tokens would be distributed over three years, and Opera's governance influence would be limited to 10% based on its staked holdings.

Investors are shifting capital from risky assets like Bitcoin to safe-haven stablecoins after the U.S. Federal Reserve held interest rates steady while warning of uncertainty from surging oil prices and inflation amid the conflict in the Middle East, according to an analysis by CoinDesk.

Alex Thorn, head of research at on-chain analytics firm Galaxy Digital, has analyzed the threat of quantum computing to Bitcoin, concluding that while the risk is real, market concerns are excessive. He acknowledged the theoretical risk that a sufficiently advanced quantum computer could derive private keys from exposed public keys to steal funds. However, Thorn noted that developers are already preparing countermeasures, including the introduction of post-quantum addresses and phased upgrades. He argued that the entities capable of triggering a "Q-Day"—the point at which current encryption could be broken—are currently limited to a very small number of specialized research groups. Thorn assessed the quantum risk as a long-term technological challenge that is solvable through Bitcoin's open development model, rather than an immediate existential crisis that should deter investment.

Schwartz emphasized that these gaps happen when prices fail to fully reflect expectations due to delays in information processing or limitations in arbitrage.
