The National Securities Commission (CNV) announced on 10 Jun the approval of a resolution allowing securities issued under various automatic public-offering regimes to be digitally represented onchain and distributed through regulated platforms. The expansion extends tokenization to securities issued under simplified fundraising regimes that allow companies to access capital markets with lighter disclosure and approval requirements than traditional public offerings. Broader access Tokenization is the process of creating a digital representation of an asset or financial instrument on a blockchain.

What Is Quant Network and How Does Overledger Work? Quant Network solves a specific problem: blockchains do not talk to each other. Bitcoin cannot send data to Ethereum. Hyperledger Fabric cannot read a Ripple transaction. Each network was built in isolation, with its own rules and no built-in path to communicate outside itself. Quant Network’s $QNT token and mainnet launched in 2018, with the company itself incorporated earlier by cybersecurity expert Gilbert Verdian. The core product Verdian built is called Overledger — a platform that sits above existing blockchain networks and connects them through a standardized API layer, without changing…

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez made noteworthy assessments regarding the long-term price outlook for Ethereum ($ETH). According to Martinez, $ETH is currently trading at a price close to the levels it was at in March 2021. The analyst noted that this situation points to a significant picture for Ethereum investors. Martinez stated that an investor who invested $10,000 in $ETH five years ago would have approximately the same value today. Accordingly, despite experiencing high volatility, strong bull markets, and deep bear market liquidations in the last five years, Ethereum has not shown a net gain compared to this starting level. Martinez…

According to a new report from Morgan Stanley, global AI‑related debt issuance is set to top $570 billion in 2026, which would mark one of the biggest corporate borrowing sprees ever.

Morgan Stanley says AI‑related debt had already hit about $236 billion by the end of May 2026, roughly four times the level in the same period last year. The company expects borrowing to speed up even more in the second half as hyperscalers continue pouring money into their…

When Standard Chartered published a $100 price forecast for $UNI, the initial reaction was predictable: skepticism laced with curiosity. But the latest on-chain data from the Santiment update adds a different kind of weight to the call. Uniswap’s network activity didn’t just spike — it sustained, with active addresses climbing to a four-month high and whale transactions hitting levels not seen in seven months. The timing is tight. The report from the global bank landed, and almost immediately, on-chain metrics showed renewed engagement. That suggests traders and larger wallets moved beyond price chatter and into position. In DeFi, conviction often…

Cryptocurrency mining profitability remains under pressure across major proof-of-work networks, according to new data shared by Alphractal, which shows the sector is experiencing stagnation and reduced returns. The analytics platform said that while miners continue to play an important role in maintaining network security and decentralization, the data suggests that profitability remains difficult across major proof-of-work networks. Growing Pressure on Miners Alphractal’s Mining Equilibrium Index compares miners’ average revenue per hash over 30 days against the 365-day average. Readings above 1.0 signal above-average profitability, while values below 0.5 point to stressed conditions for miners. Among the four largest proof-of-work assets…

Polygon gives developers a framework to build and launch their own blockchains that connect back to the Ethereum network. These chains are not forks or copies of Polygon itself. They are independent networks that projects control entirely, built using Polygon’s Chain Development Kit, known as the CDK. As of 2026, Polygon has repositioned CDK from a self-serve open-source toolkit into a managed, enterprise-grade service, with real deployments running at scale from OKX, Immutable, and Astar Network. What Is the Polygon CDK? The Polygon CDK is a framework that lets teams build custom blockchains secured by zero-knowledge proofs and settled on…
