Exchange giant Coinbase’s (COIN) asset management arm is bringing its bitcoin yield fund onchain, creating a tokenized share class of the fund with $3.5 trillion fund administrator Apex Group. The Coinbase Bitcoin Yield Fund, managed by Coinbase Asset Management (CBAM), will be available to investors on the Base network, Coinbase’s blockchain built on Ethereum. Apex remains the transfer agent, keeping records aligned with the fund’s net asset value. The launch comes as global asset managers are looking at tokenization as the next frontier in how capital markets evolve, making bonds, equites and funds tradable on blockchain rails. Firms including BlackRock…

The DeFi sector is doubling down on its pushback against the Citadel-led call for barring decentralized protocols from blanket regulatory exemption. In a letter to the U.S SEC on Monday, the Blockchain Association (BA) termed Citadel’s proposed regulation of DeFi protocols handling tokenized assets as a “wrong approach.” The BA is an advocacy and an umbrella group with key industry members, including Coinbase. In the letter, the BA rebutted, Securities laws regulate intermediaries. They do not automatically turn neutral infrastructure into an exchange, broker, or dealer simply because that infrastructure is part of a tokenized market. The lobby group added…

Kalshi has raised more than $1 billion at a $22 billion valuation in a new financing round led by Coatue Management, the Wall Street Journal reported. The deal roughly doubles the company’s valuation from its $11 billion December raise and shows investors are still willing to pay up for exposure to the prediction market boom. The timing matters because prediction markets are no longer a niche side bet in crypto and fintech. Data cited by Artemis shows the sector processed roughly $27 billion in January 2026 and $23.4 billion in February. FalconX, citing Artemis data, said prediction market volume climbed…

Banco CMF is among the confirmed participants, working through its newly launched corporate unit QORP as part of JPMorgan’s minimum viable product, per the report. “In the first phase, banks are expected to work on integrating available services to verify improvements in settlement times and interbank reconciliations of integrated…

March 2026 has been a tough month for the crypto industry, including Digital Assets Treasuries (DTAs). As expected, DeFi Development Corp’s growth was flat too, but it still managed to grab attention. Despite March being a slow month, the firm reportedly pursued avenues to increase its Solana [$SOL] balance over time and, in turn, saw a surge in its $SOL per Share (SPS). According to its March 2026 recap report, DeFi Development Corp’s [DFDV] $SOL holdings have reached 2,223,074 $SOL worth $185 million. Meanwhile, its outstanding shares stood at 29,497,394, translating to 0.0754 $SOL Per Share (SPS). Source: March 2026…

Gemini shares climbed in after-hours trading on Thursday after the crypto exchange business reported a shift toward more stable revenue streams and outlined an expansion into prediction markets, even as trading activity declined. The stock rose about 7% to $6.45 in late trading after closing at $6.01, as investors appeared to focus on its improving revenue mix and cost-cutting efforts rather than weaker volumes. The company reported fourth-quarter trading volume of $11.5 billion, down 30% from the prior quarter as broader crypto market activity cooled, according to a shareholder letter published Thursday.  Despite that decline, transaction revenue held relatively…

Winklevoss framed the update squarely around speed, telling followers that “markets move fast and you can too with @Gemini Active Trader,” alongside a short product demo video that had drawn roughly 29,400 views…
