🪙 Securitize captures 10.7% of tokenized stocks market
Securitize has emerged as a leading player in the tokenized equities sector, now accounting for 10.7% of the total tokenized stocks market.
The firm's growing share reflects broader momentum in the tokenization of traditional financial assets on-chain, a segment that has drawn increasing attention from both institutional players and blockchain infrastructure providers.
European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde has declared the digital euro imminent, framing it as a tool to stimulate innovation and competition in retail payments across the euro area.
Lagarde made the remarks alongside comments that the euro-area economy remains resilient. The digital euro is the ECB's central bank digital currency (CBDC) project, aimed at providing a public digital payment option alongside cash.
The ECB has been in a multi-year preparation phase for the digital euro, with formal legislative groundwork still pending approval from EU institutions.
⚖️ Crypto PACs pour $52M into opposing Sherrod Brown
At least two crypto-aligned political action committees have spent more than $52 million targeting Sherrod Brown in the Ohio Senate race, marking one of the largest industry-funded political campaigns in the sector's history.
Brown, a longtime Senate Banking Committee member, has been a vocal critic of the crypto industry. The spending reflects the industry's growing willingness to deploy capital in electoral politics to shape the regulatory environment in Washington.
🌐 €800B in AUM ask: what do crypto tokens actually earn?
Brendan Ma, head of investment strategy at the Arbitrum Foundation, held 48 hours of closed-door meetings with representatives from institutions managing roughly €800 billion in assets.
The recurring concern from private bankers and wealth managers: a disconnect between blockchain ecosystem growth and token fundamentals. As Ma summarized it, there has been "business or ecosystem traction that has been divorced from any fundamental" — meaning protocols generate activity, but token holders don't necessarily capture that value.
The meetings highlight a persistent barrier to institutional crypto allocation: the difficulty of applying traditional valuation frameworks to tokens that lack clear earnings, dividends, or cash flow mechanics tied to underlying protocol revenue.
💵 Mastercard Launches Unified Fiat and Stablecoin Payments Platform
Mastercard has launched its Global Money Platform in partnership with BVNK, enabling banks, fintechs, and businesses to manage fiat currencies and stablecoins through a single API.
The platform consolidates cross-border payment infrastructure, allowing institutions to send, receive, and convert both traditional and stablecoin-based funds without switching between separate systems. The joint announcement positions the offering as a unified settlement layer spanning multiple currencies and networks.
The move reflects growing institutional interest in stablecoin rails as a complement to legacy payment infrastructure, with major card networks increasingly integrating digital asset settlement into their core products.
🔐 Ledger Supply Chain Attack Drains $93M from 300+ Wallets
Up to $93M has been drained from more than 300 wallets in a hardware wallet supply chain attack targeting Ledger devices sold through reseller CryptoBilis.
Ledger confirmed a physical implant was embedded inside signers during the supply chain process — no software was compromised. The implant read recovery phrases directly off the screen during setup and transmitted them externally.
The incident raises fundamental questions about hardware wallet supply chain security and the risks of purchasing devices through third-party resellers rather than directly from manufacturers.
