According to CoinDesk, this marks the largest-ever tokenization of equity led by an issuer. Qualified U.S. investors can purchase the stock tokens through the Securitize platform after completing "identity verification" and meeting securities law requirements.

According to CoinDesk, the investment is part of an expansion of services for the crypto wallet Zengo, which eToro acquired in April, and signals a clear on-chain strategy for the company. eToro plans to introduce perpetual futures trading to Zengo, allowing users to access on-chain derivatives while maintaining self-custody of their assets.

Geoff Kendrick, Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered, said the market is underestimating the partnership between decentralized exchange Uniswap (UNI) and U.S. stock and crypto trading app Robinhood (Nasdaq: HOOD). He stated that the partnership serves as an acknowledgment that Uniswap is a high-quality decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol trusted by large traditional companies like Robinhood, adding that more similar partnerships are likely in the coming quarters. Uniswap previously announced it would act as the core DeFi infrastructure partner for Robinhood's proprietary Layer 2 blockchain, the Robinhood Chain, serving as its native automated market maker (AMM). Standard Chartered has also identified Uniswap as a key hub for trading tokenized assets and has set a $100 price target for UNI.

The future of cryptocurrency lies in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), while things like meme coins are not worthy of attention, according to Vladimir Tenev, CEO of the U.S. stock and crypto trading app Robinhood (Nasdaq: HOOD). In an interview with CNBC, he stated that traditional finance and crypto are moving toward a phase of convergence, and the future of digital assets is in RWA. Tenev emphasized that this involves bringing already-proven real-world assets on-chain, rather than creating tokens with no real utility, like meme coins. He stressed that if an asset has no utility, it is not productive, and creating hundreds of meme coins is meaningless. Meanwhile, Robinhood recently launched its own Arbitrum-based Layer 2, the Robinhood Chain, and is expanding its product offerings into the RWA sector.

Terence Kwok, founder of Humanity Protocol (H), told The Block that the project is pivoting to focus on enterprise AI products, shifting away from its original identity verification and blockchain strategy following a hack of approximately $36 million. Kwok attributed the breach to malware on a developer's laptop rather than a smart contract vulnerability. He acknowledged that recovering the stolen funds is unlikely, stating that the team plans to focus on rebuilding the project instead. Kwok also denied allegations of a 'rug pull,' asserting that the project did not intentionally dump its tokens.

An individual has come forward claiming to be the actual owner of wallets involved in a lawsuit seeking control over approximately 3.799 million BTC in long-dormant coins, including those presumed to belong to Satoshi Nakamoto. According to CryptoSlate, a plaintiff under the pseudonym Noah Doe filed a lawsuit in a New York court last month, arguing that about 39,000 dormant wallets should be considered lost property. These wallets hold an estimated $234 billion worth of BTC believed to be owned by Satoshi and other early Bitcoin miners. In a new development, a defendant using the pseudonym John Doe 33 has challenged the suit, asserting ownership of the wallets. The media outlet noted that the case could set a precedent for whether lost property laws can be applied to long-dormant cryptocurrency.

It outlines digital forensic tools and investigative techniques, covering procedures from evidence collection to transaction tracking and asset seizure. The document also states that Chinese police can obtain Know Your Customer (KYC) information from major exchanges, including Binance, OKX, and HTX, through formal legal processes.

According to Decrypt, the investment was revealed through public financial disclosures.

Institutional crypto financial services firm Galaxy Digital (Nasdaq: GLXY) has pointed out a structural contradiction between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) custody rules and the demand for DeFi. The firm noted that many Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) are struggling to comply with the SEC's custody regulations while meeting client demand for DeFi investments. According to Galaxy Digital, the current rules require client assets to be held by a qualified custodian, which not only effectively excludes self-custody but also makes it difficult to participate directly in DeFi strategies through traditional financial accounts. The firm stressed that a realistic solution would be to establish a principles-based regulatory framework incorporating elements such as MPC-based key management, governance control systems, third-party audits, on-chain transparency, and rigorous protocol due diligence mechanisms.

An anonymous whale's short position of 31,600 ETH, valued at $53.5 million, was partially liquidated over the past 30 minutes, according to on-chain analyst EmberCN. The analyst noted that as the price of Ethereum (ETH) continued to rise after the U.S. stock market opened, it surpassed the whale's liquidation price of $1,674. This resulted in a loss of $4.64 million for the investor. EmberCN added that the whale still has an open ETH short position worth $38.64 million, with a new liquidation price of $1,764, which is only about $50 away from the current price.

Real-world asset (RWA) tokenization platform Securitize officially listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) today under the ticker SECZ.

An analysis of the $60 billion real-world asset (RWA) tokenization market found that assets worth $32.9 billion, or about 56%, showed no weekly transfer activity, according to a report by BeInCrypto. In its 'The State of Tokenization in 2026' report, the outlet noted that while the market is growing rapidly, actual on-chain activity remains minimal. The investigation found that out of 1,289 tokenized assets valued at over $100,000 each, 910 had not a single weekly transfer. In contrast, only 379 assets showed weekly transfers, with a total transaction volume of $26.2 billion. However, the report clarified that low trading activity does not necessarily signify market failure, as some products are not designed for secondary market trading. It added that infrastructure expansion is needed to increase on-chain activity.

Ethereum (ETH) is forming a potential double bottom pattern on its daily chart, which could lead to a relief rally, according to an analysis by CryptoPotato. The publication noted that ETH has bounced strongly off the $1,500 support level twice. While the double bottom pattern is not yet confirmed, this repeated defense of a key support level suggests that selling pressure may be weakening. However, the broader trend remains bearish, as ETH continues to trade within a multi-month downward channel and below its 100-day and 200-day moving averages, located around the $2,000 to $2,200 range. If ETH can break through the $1,800 resistance level to confirm the pattern, it could rally toward the $2,000-$2,200 zone, CryptoPotato explained.

Real-world asset (RWA) tokenization platform Ondo Finance (ONDO) has launched tokenized versions of BlackRock's S&P 500 index-tracking ETF, IVV, and shares of U.S. memory chip manufacturer Micron Technology (Nasdaq: MU), The Block reported. The new products were designed under a third-party custody framework introduced by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in January.

Bitcoin faces greater downside risk despite recovering to the $60,000 level, according to an analysis by Adam, an analyst at Greeks.live. In a post on X, he explained that gamma exposure (GEX), which measures the volume that options market makers must buy or sell in response to price changes, is currently concentrated around the $60,000 mark. With the price repeatedly moving within this key range, both call and put option positions have accumulated at this level. He noted that put options are concentrated in the $55,000 to $60,000 range, while a vacuum of positions exists below $55,000. This suggests that if the $55,000 support level were to break, the subsequent decline could accelerate significantly. "Overall, the downside risk is greater than the upside potential," Adam argued, adding that macroeconomic uncertainty and capital outflows from U.S.-based funds are also weighing on the market. Consequently, he concluded that a selling strategy is more advantageous at present.

According to CoinNess market monitoring, BTC has risen above $62,000. BTC is trading at $62,036.92 on the Binance USDT market.

U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Mike Selig has criticized the Illinois legislature, stating on X that it is "jeopardizing Chicago's future as a financial market hub" by imposing a so-called "sin tax" on blockchain technology. He argued that the relevant bill taxes cryptocurrency asset transfers even when no economic gain occurs. According to Selig, this reduces Illinois residents to needing government permission to hold property rather than being holders of property rights. He added that as blockchain technology transforms financial markets, the choice to tax wallets instead of fostering the crypto industry could symbolize the long-term decline of Chicago's financial market. The criticism follows Illinois Governor JB Pritzker signing the Digital Asset Privilege Tax Act, which imposes a 0.2% tax on crypto transactions and has sparked industry backlash.
