🔷 HEX token drops 31% on Richard Heart detention reports
HEX, the Ethereum-based token created by Richard Heart (Richard Schueler), fell 31% following reports of his detention.
Liquidity conditions amplified the move: the primary Uniswap pool for HEX carried only $354,000 in liquidity against approximately $703,000 in daily trading volume, creating significant execution risk for sellers looking to exit positions.
Heart was previously charged by the SEC with fraud and unregistered securities offerings. The detention reports add a new legal dimension to a project already under regulatory scrutiny.

Four additional payment companies have also joined the Open Money Stack platform, which combines regulated U.S. money transmission with stablecoin payments, digital wallets, and local currency settlement.

The deal marks a notable instance of two major Wall Street institutions transacting with tokenized government securities in a live repo setting.
The transaction reflects growing institutional interest in applying blockchain-based tokenization to fixed-income collateral markets, an area regulators and financial firms have identified as a key use case for the technology.
