TD Securities, a major Canadian investment bank with operations across North America, says tokenization may be approaching an institutional turning point following the New York Stock Exchange’s push into tokenized equities. In recent commentary, TD Securities Reid Noch, vice president for electronic trading, said tokenization is beginning to carry real implications for market structure, pointing to the NYSE’s proposed tokenized equities alternative trading system (ATS) as a key development. The planned platform would enable 24-hour trading and near-instant settlement of tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), subject to regulatory approval. Rather than creating a parallel crypto-native marketplace, the venue is…

Withdrawals from the country’s crypto exchanges spiked that Saturday, particularly from the country’s largest, Nobitex.

To observers of historical patterns of capital flight, the comparison was obvious. It was a digital bank run. The picture may not be that simple. While some…

Ethereum is pressing into a critical technical squeeze, with one chart showing repeated rejections at rising resistance and another showing price leaning on long term support. Together, they frame the next move as a test of whether $ETH breaks the ceiling or rebounds off the floor.

The resistance line, drawn across prior swing highs, has capped upside moves since 2024. However, repeated tests have kept price pressed against that ceiling, narrowing…

Australia is home to just 26 million people, but OKX is betting the country could become one of the most important digital finance markets in the developed world if policymakers move fast enough. A new report backed by the exchange estimates that Australia could unlock A$24 billion ($17 billion) in annual economic gains from tokenized markets, payments and assets provided lawmakers modernize licensing and market infrastructure rules. The study by the Digital Finance Cooperative Research Centre argues that digital finance innovation could deliver gains equal to roughly 1% of GDP, driven largely by more efficient foreign exchange, capital markets, and…

Centralized exchanges (CEXs) still command the lion’s share of crypto liquidity. However, the balance of power is beginning to tilt as decentralized exchanges (DEXs) have doubled their spot market share over the past two years while expanding their presence in perpetual futures fivefold.

Ethereum account abstraction, or smart accounts, will be shipped with the Hegota upgrade “within a year,” said Vitalik Buterin on Saturday. “We have been talking about account abstraction ever since early 2016,” said the Ethereum co-founder over the weekend. He added that now, “we finally have EIP-8141, an omnibus that wraps up and solves every remaining problem that AA [account abstraction] was intended to address (plus more),” and it is slated for deployment this year. “Finally, after over a decade of research and refinement of these techniques, this all looks possible to make happen within a year (Hegota fork).” The…
