Zodia Custody partners with Securitize to bolster institutional access to tokenized assets “BUIDL’s sharp rise and adoption easily shows the opportunities that tokenized assets can offer,” Zodia Custody CEO Julian Sawyer said. “More importantly, it also demonstrates the transformative potential that tokenization presents institutions and digital asset-native businesses alike.” Read Brian McGleenon's report in The Block to learn how this partnership is bridging the gap between TradFi and blockchain technology: https://lnkd.in/eBqauwrF

We hosted #TokenizeThis 2024 last week - the inaugural Security Token Market 🌴 conference in Miami, FL - with 500+ attendees and 50+ speakers from legacy financial institutions to industry startups and crypto-native firms alike. I had the pleasure of moderating the #RealWorldAsset Market Movers discussion alongside panelists Thomas Cowan (Galaxy), Anthony B. (Coinbase), and Michael Bucella (Neoclassic Capital). Key takeaways revolve around: - Proper on-ramping via #stablecoin and yield-generating products (globally, not just in one standalone ecosystem) - Backing the necessary mid-ground infrastructure to move the ball from redzone to redzone - The cascade of new product unlocks following the #tokenized liquidity fund (money markets, treasuries, repo) narrative The full panel discussion is linked in the comments for all 🤝

SEC Chair Gary Gensler suggests that the approval of S-1 forms for Ethereum ETFs will take time, following the recent approval of 19b-4 forms. The prolonged finalization phase may delay the ETFs from commencing trading. The SEC has instructed issuers to submit draft S-1 filings, and Gensler's comments indicate a potentially slow approval process. The iterative process, expected to take several weeks or months, will involve the SEC giving feedback and prompting further changes. The arrival of Ethereum ETFs is anticipated to lead to significant capital inflow and decrease the circulating Ethereum supply, potentially driving prices to new all-time highs. The SEC's detailed review process reflects a prudent approach to regulating these financial instruments, while the swift actions of companies like BlackRock demonstrate market demand and readiness for these new investment vehicles.

Now with Pat out of the picture, CFO and CPO functions in the face of David Zinsner and MJ Holthaus as interim co-CEOs of Intel could see a faster adoption of AI with optimized ROI. This could see Intel stock price move higher, but how quickly will it recover the lost ground? #risefromtheashes #Turnaround #semiconductors #technology #investment

The new U.S. administration is expected to bring with it an air of cautious optimism for the crypto industry. While the identity and posture of the next SEC Chairman remain unknown, the early signals in 2024 and the electoral promises we’ve seen suggest a meaningful departure from the aggressive stance of the Gensler-led SEC. Under Gensler, we saw a hostile approach that many condemned as stifling innovation and growth in the industry. But what happened this year hints at a new era—one that may prioritize clarity, fairness, and collaboration over punitive actions. For the crypto community, this is an opportunity to prove we can build the system we’ve been advocating for: a safe, innovative industry that aligns with clear and reasonable regulations. With institutional players becoming increasingly involved in the space, we’re entering a moment where growth and compliance don’t have to be at odds. How do you think the SEC will treat crypto during the next four years? Who do you have as the new Chair?

🗞 A recent opinion piece in CoinDesk where I dive into the aspects of EigenLayer which aren't currently well suited to institutional needs. "Is EigenLayer Ready For Institutional Adoption? Restaking leader EigenLayer is a hit with more risk-accepting retail investors, but it doesn’t currently meet institutional needs, says Tara Annison, Head of Product at Twinstake, a non-custodial staking provider for institutional clients." https://lnkd.in/euuhusqr #crypto #blockchain #eigenlayer #restaking #ethereum #eth
