That last component carries particular financial significance. High-quality liquid assets, including certain government securities, are widely used as collateral in traditional finance (TradFi). Tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs), the foundation noted, offers a potential mechanism for transferring and coordinating those assets across participating financial platforms. However, the announcement describes exploratory initiatives rather than completed transactions or operational products. Canton Adds Another Institutional Partner Developed by Digital Asset, Canton operates as a public blockchain designed to accommodate institutional privacy requirements. Its broader ecosystem reportedly includes more than 1,000 institutions, with 62 major organizations serving as Super Validators. Meritz Securities brings substantial…

Trump could announce plans to expand data centers and make it easier to build the power and infrastructure needed for AI. The speech may also cover new chip tariffs and a possible path for companies like Anthropic to remove their “supply chain risk” label. Sept 28: JOLTS Job Openings data Another key event this week is the August JOLTS job openings report, due on September 29. The latest JOLTS report showed 7.27 million open jobs in July 2026, up from 7.18 million in June. Meanwhile, a weaker August reading could point to a cooling job market, which may push Treasury…

There were decentralized exchanges, automated lending protocols, crypto wallets and increasingly elaborate financial plumbing, but if all of it was mainly being used to trade one cryptocurrency against other cryptocurrency, the obvious question remained: what was the infrastructure actually built for? Tokenization may finally provide a convincing answer. U.S. Treasuries, credit, stocks, funds and other assets are increasingly moving onchain, and once they are there, the point isn’t simply that an investor can trade Nvidia at 2 a.m on a Sunday. The more interesting argument Citrini made is that tokenization can make financial assets behave more like software: moving between…

Source: X Meanwhile, Solana [SOL] captured $16 million, while X Layer saw $8.5 million, indicating some additional activity existed outside of Avalanche. On the other hand, the Ethereum [ETH] network lost approximately $5.6 million. With the current total market size being roughly $3.6 billion, the recent surge in the $AVAX price may solidify its position within institutional tokenization. However, if most of the remaining investment comes from a single product line, it will lead to limited future growth. Goldman Sachs expands Avalanche ties Beyond simply tokenizing equities, Avalanche is also beginning to serve as an institutionally accessible settlement platform for…

The Wall Street Journal reported that Hines kept in contact with his partners at Nxum, updating them on progress with the $GENIUS Act through the Signal app while serving as Trump’s crypto adviser. He also reportedly pressed the Nxum partner to label any Republican lawmakers opposing the stablecoin bill as “undermining the president” and “bought and paid for by democratic shills like Coinbase and a16z.” Hines joined Tether as a “strategic adviser” in August 2025, becoming CEO of its US arm the following month. The reported deal between a former White House official and a crypto company continues to shine…

Our intention with the Quantum Alliance is to front-load a lot of the complex decision-making when making post-quantum blockchain products and create standards that others can simply pull off the shelf as the industry migrates. The work will span migration, zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs, wallet security, and chain interoperability. On each track, the team wants to harmonize rules that can ensure smooth operations as blockchains adopt different post-quantum signatures. There have been intensified calls for accelerated preparations for the post-quantum era following recent fears that advanced AI may just offer similar threats to quantum computing. So far, the Quantum Alliance and…

At the same time, Bitcoin is flowing out of exchanges. Binance, which holds around 30% of $BTC across major exchanges, has seen steady outflows, with weekly net flows averaging around -2,000 $BTC. The latest outflow was much larger. Binance recorded more than 13,800 $BTC in net outflows in a single day, marking its largest daily outflow since 2023. Its $BTC reserves also dropped from around 705,000 $BTC to 685,000 $BTC in just four days. The trend is not limited to Binance. More than 31,780 $BTC worth around $2.52 billion reportedly left centralized exchanges over the past week. Large outflows often…

Solomon pointed to the shift toward electronic stock trading almost 50 years ago, which once raised similar concerns about the future of Wall Street’s trading desks. Goldman adapted to that change and its equities business grew. Tokenization, he said, could follow a similar path. “The developments are obviously creating more products, greater activity, potentially new clients, broader distribution channels,” Solomon said on Tuesday’s call with analysts. Tokenization, clearing and settlement The bank has spent years investing in digital asset infrastructure, though perhaps more quietly than most of its competitors. It built GS DAP, its own platform for tokenized assets, as…

How $BNB Standard got its new name The firm formerly known as CEA Industries chose its name after the $BNB Standard option got the most votes, leading a four-name pool that ran for a five-day voting process. $BNB Standard secured 5,799 advisory votes, roughly 47% of all the votes. “As far as we know, few listed companies have asked their community to help choose their name. We think more should,” Interim President Alex Odagiu said. He added in the statement that “the reasoning in the replies was as valuable as the votes themselves.” Board Chair Carly E. Howard echoed the…

The US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (USOCC) is poised to release its final implementation rule for the $GENIUS Act by the end of October. This development, highlighted by crypto commentator @SolanaFloor, signals a potential shift in the regulatory landscape for financial institutions. Observers are keenly awaiting the implications this could have on compliance requirements and operational frameworks within the industry. The Story So Far The broader crypto market is currently demonstrating mixed signals, with varying momentum across major assets. In this context, the anticipated final rule from the USOCC regarding the $GENIUS Act could have significant implications…
