Ondo Finance just made one of the more consequential regulatory plays in crypto’s push toward traditional finance. The real-world asset tokenization firm submitted a no-action letter to the SEC on April 13, asking the agency to confirm that its Ondo Global Markets product can operate on Ethereum Mainnet without triggering enforcement action. If the SEC grants the request, it would effectively greenlight a public blockchain as infrastructure for tokenized exposure to over 200 US-listed stocks and ETFs. What Ondo is actually requesting A no-action letter is the SEC’s way of saying “we see what you’re doing, and we won’t come…

StarkWare has announced that StarkNet, its zero-knowledge rollup scaling network, has launched STRK20s on mainnet — a privacy framework designed to let users shield their digital assets from public view. The framework leverages zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs to enable confidential transactions directly on the network. How STRK20s Works Through supported wallets such as Ready X and Xverse, users can deposit — or “shield” — assets into a privacy pool with a single click. The process is similarly streamlined for withdrawals, termed “unshielding.” Once an ERC-20 token enters the pool, it is converted into an encrypted note. This mechanism effectively hides the…

That quickly fueled speculation that $XRP could be directly settling a portion of that volume, an idea that gained…
