The downfall of Poland’s biggest digital asset trading platform is causing trouble for Donald Trump’s ally in the presidential palace.
Zondacrypto, which is registered in Estonia, said last month that it was on the brink of collapse after attracting $100 million in savings from Poles following the company’s massive marketing blitz. It has since stopped servicing client accounts and state prosecutors began investigating it for fraud.
The sculptor behind a 22-foot golden statue of Donald Trump unveiled at the president’s golf course this week says it was “chaos” behind the scenes.
“Once somebody has shown that they can’t be trusted to do what they say, you don’t work with them anymore,” sculptor Alan Cottrill told Miami New Times when asked in an interview whether he would work on the upcoming skyscraper set to become the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library in Miami.
The artist’s initial response to the prospect of another collaboration with the MAGA crypto bros who commissioned the so-called “Don Collosus” statue was short: “f--k no.”
Sculptor Alan Cottrill, 73, examines his gold-leafed bronze statue of Donald Trump at his studio in Zanesville, Ohio. Eric Cox/REUTERS Cottrill’s giant gold-leafed effigy was erected at the Trump National Doral golf course in Miami on Thursday and unveiled during an emotional ceremony led by Pastor Mark Burns, who is seen as the president’s informal spiritual adviser and was allegedly involved in the project.
“This was a clusterf--k,” Cottrill told the New Times, describing the “chaos” that building the statue caused while working with crypto investors who commissioned the Trump likeness as part of a promotional push for their memecoin, $PATRIOT.
In an exclusive interview with The Daily Beast, the artist revealed that the “crypto boys” used images of the sculpture to launch their token, which he said constituted copyright infringement.
Donald Trump’s statue at his golf club in Miami stands 22 feet tall, including its pedestal. Adam Schupak/Golfweek He alleged that they later stopped paying for the project, forcing him to store the statue—completed last year around Trump’s January inauguration—in an undisclosed location until payment was made.
“I usually deal with people that have everything organized,” Cotrill, who mentioned he has “400 life-size or larger statues around the country,” told the New Times.
Still, Cottrill increased the total cost of his creation from $300,000 to $450,000 after pitching the idea of adding a gold-leaf finish to the bronze statue for an additional $60,000, and eventually charging $90,000 for the alleged copyright infringement.
“It’s like pitching ice water to a man dying of thirst,” the sculptor said about selling the gold-leaf addition, which pleased the gold-obsessed president, whose son Eric has attempted to distance the family from the project.
In a post on Truth Social, the 79-year-old president praised the newly erected statue, which depicts him raising his right fist in a gesture reminiscent of the moment he re-emerged after surviving an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania campaign rally.
“The Real Deal - GOLD - At Doral in Miami. Put there by great American Patriots!!!” Trump posted on Thursday, though the sculptor told the New Times not to forget that “it’s just a normal bronze statue with a coating of gold leaf over the entire thing,” rather than being fully made of gold.
The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for comment.
Patrick Bewley’s X feed was normally filled with posts about leather three-ways and clips of pool-house erotica.
The gay OnlyFans star, known as Daddy Patrick, had decided to get into the adult industry at age 60, and in under two years his followers on X swelled to 132,000. But in April, his feed suddenly became very political—and very MAGA—with posts like “President Trump stuns the World announcing America has more oil than the next two largest Oil economies COMBINED.”
Except it wasn't Bewley behind the change. His account had been hacked.
Bewley is one of several gay OnlyFans creators WIRED spoke to who was targeted by recent crypto scams on X, where attackers are attempting to extort money from creators to get their accounts back. In some cases, when they refused to cooperate, their accounts were filled with posts about crypto, or, as with Bewley, MAGA propaganda.
On April 9, Bewley received a DM on X from a coworker, the porn director and editor Jasun Mark, whose account had already been hacked, though Bewley didn’t know it at the time. The message, which asked Bewley to nominate Mark for an award, seemed harmless because “it did sound kind of like something he would do,” Bewley says. The link Mark sent redirected Bewley to an X page that asked for his login information “but nothing was taking, or so I thought.” Bewley went about his day and later, after Mark notified him that he hadn’t actually sent that DM about the award nomination, he went to check his page and it was gone.
By tricking Bewley into clicking on the fake link, the attacker was able to change the name, telephone number, and email on Bewley’s account. The handle was first changed to @DADDYPATRIOzvu, and a day later, on April 10, to @Fatherokdwcjo63.
Bewley’s partner immediately reported the hack to X from his personal account, saying it had been stolen. Then something strange happened: The account went into “crazy MAGA mode,” Bewley says. The banner and avatar were changed to a menacing black-and-white picture of Steve Bannon that advertised WarRoom.org, the official site for his politics podcast, with a linktree to Bannon’s various platforms, including his TikTok, Telegram, merch store, and official website.
On April 16, a week after the initial attack, whoever hijacked Bewley’s account posted an image on the compromised X account of Donald Trump, with a text overlay that read “GOOD MORNING, I’M STILL YOUR PRESIDENT.” Under the post, Bewley’s partner, Jerry Burt, asked how they could get the account back. “Just pay for it. That’s all,” the account hijacker wrote in a series of screenshots reviewed by WIRED. “You want this account or not? Ain’t joking man.”
The asking price? $2,000 in GAT crypto.
When Bewley refused to pay, the attacker messaged his employer, Ducati Studios Network, a gay porn production company where he recently joined as CMO, demanding $3,000 in crypto.
Bewley’s partner stopped engaging after nearly two weeks of back-and-forth. The account then “started force feeding pro-MAGA propaganda,” Burt says, reposting 20 to 30 posts a day from extremist Republican pages like @MAGAVoice, the self-described “Proud Patriot. Pro Elon Musk” account that wants to “take back OUR country.”
The loss of the account has been a major blow to Bewley’s brand. A high follower count, particularly on X, gives the perception that you are a player within the adult industry. “In a way, it dictates who will want to work with you,” Bewley tells WIRED. “It is the one platform people look at as the measure of where your standing is, almost like a ranking. And everybody wants to work with you if you have over 100,000 followers. You have automatic credibility.” WIRED contacted an account that appears to be associated with Bewley’s hack but did not receive a response.
A string of gay OnlyFans creators have had their X accounts hijacked by attackers demanding crypto ransoms, with several victims watching their feeds flood with MAGA propaganda and crypto spam after they refused to pay.
OnlyFans Star Bewley Loses X Account in Crypto Hijack One of the most prominent targets was Patrick Bewley, the 60-year-old adult performer known as Daddy Patrick, who had built 132,000 followers on X in under two years, according to reporting from WIRED. In April, his feed abruptly turned political, pushing pro-Trump posts he never wrote. The account had been compromised.
The report claimed that the attack began on April 9, when Bewley received a direct message from a colleague, porn director Jasun Mark, whose own account was already hacked. The message asked Bewley to back an award nomination and pointed him to a fake X login page. Once he entered his details, the attacker changed the account’s name, phone number and email, then swapped the handle twice.
The hijacker rebranded the page with a Steve Bannon banner linking to his War Room platforms. By April 16, the account was posting Trump imagery, and later demanding $2,000 in GAT tokens to hand it back. When Bewley refused, the attacker contacted his employer, Ducati Studios Network, raising the price to $3,000 in crypto, per the report. The feed then began reposting 20 to 30 MAGA items a day from accounts such as @MAGAVoice.
Bewley was not alone. Performer Fabian Quezada, who works as Buck Bronco, was locked out on April 12 and threatened over WhatsApp, according to WIRED. He refused to negotiate, fearing he would be drained of his money, and replaced all his bank and credit cards as a precaution.
Creators Liam Angell and Mark eventually clawed their accounts back. Mark lost access for a month, during which the attacker fired crypto posts at his 68,000 followers. In May, Chicago creator Gray Dickson publicly pleaded for help after repeated phishing attempts.
X Gave No Help After Crypto Hijack Despite holding a paid verified account, Bewley said X support gave him no help, telling him weeks later it could not confirm he owned the page. He filed reports with Palm Springs police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
Rachel Tobac, CEO of SocialProof Security, told WIRED that the problem could intensify ahead of the US midterms, and suspects criminals are using AI to scale their targeting of high-value accounts.
Last year, Paraguay’s president fell victim to an X hack, after his personal account posted a false claim that the country had adopted Bitcoin as legal tender. The official presidential account quickly flagged the post as fake, sharing an official statement in Spanish and warning followers to beware.
Notcoin has lost over 8%, currently trading at $0.0019. NOT’s daily trading volume has surged by 18%. The cryptocurrency market’s recovery attempts have failed, with all major assets painted in red, trading on the downside. Notably, the largest asset, Bitcoin (BTC), has fallen toward the $113.8K range. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH), the largest altcoin, hovers at $3.6K, triggering the altcoins to shed their recent gains in the price movement.
Within the altcoin sector, Notcoin (NOT) has emerged as one of the trending coins, posting an 8.07% loss in price following the bearish pressure. In the early hours, NOT was trading at a high of $0.002132, with bullish candles. Later, the bears took command of the asset and pulled back the price to a low of $0.00195.
At the time of writing, Notcoin traded within the $0.001969 mark, as per CoinMarketCap data. In addition, the market cap has reached $197.21 million, with the daily trading volume of NOT surging by over 18.47%, likely touching the $30.35 million level.
Following this, NOT might slip and test the nearest $0.001963 support, and more losses could invite the death cross to unfold. The bears may send the price toward its former low of around $0.001957. Assuming the Notcoin bulls gain momentum, the price could immediately climb to the resistance at the $0.001975 range. Continued gains might trigger the golden cross to take place and drive the asset price above $0.001981.
Notcoin Technical Indicators: Is It Caught in a Bearish Grip? On analyzing Notcoin’s technical indicators, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence line sits below, and the signal line is above the zero line. This crossover implies an overall bearish momentum. If the MACD moves up to the zero line, it could signal a bullish trend reversal, as reported by TradingView.
Besides, the asset’s Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator is found at -0.21, pointing at the selling pressure in the market. Also, the capital has been flowing out of the asset rather than into it. Further fall in value hints at strong bearish sentiment, and the price may continue to face downward pressure unless a reversal occurs.
Notcoin’s daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 37.20, suggesting its bearish zone, and may hit the oversold territory. The weak momentum has the potential for a reversal if buying pressure increases. Moreover, the Bull Bear Power (BBP) reading of the asset at -0.000184 indicates that the bears currently have slight control over the market.

Key Takeaways Notcoin tested key support after 5% drop, with rising volume and looming liquidations hinting at a major breakout or deeper downside.
Telegram mini-game coin, Notcoin [NOT is now testing a key confluence area formed by a horizontal level and ascending trendline.
Historically, such zones hint at potential reversals, and current price action reflects that possibility.
Momentum weakens, but trading volume spikes However, with the recent dip, NOT has formed three consecutive red candles.
At press time, the Telegram-based crypto hovered around $0.0020, down 5.2% from the previous day.
Interestingly, this dip hasn’t scared investors away.
According to CoinMarketCap, Notcoin crypto saw its 24-hour trading volume jump 17%, suggesting growing interest despite falling prices.
NOT crypto outflows rise, sentiment splits Despite the continued price decline, CoinGlass data reflects mixed sentiment.
NOT recorded a $278K outflow as of the 5th of August, a sign that tokens are moving off exchanges, often interpreted as accumulation.
This could reduce immediate sell pressure and support price stability.
Source: CoinGlass Meanwhile, amid the ongoing market uncertainty, traders appear to be strongly betting on short positions.
According to on-chain data, over the past week, traders have been heavily focused on the $0.00193 level on the lower side and $0.00206 on the upper side.
Source: CoinGlass These levels are not only major liquidation zones but also areas where traders are significantly over-leveraged.
If the current market sentiment persists and NOT’s price falls to the $0.00193 level, nearly $494.5K worth of long positions will be liquidated.
Conversely, if sentiment shifts and the price rises to $0.00206, approximately $1.17 million worth of short positions will be liquidated.
This asymmetry hints that sellers are still holding the reins for now.
Notcoin chart signals tighten ahead of potential breakout Technically, NOT appears to be in a consolidation phase within a symmetrical triangle pattern. The narrowing range increases the chance of a breakout.
Source: TradingView If NOT can close a daily candle above $0.0022, bulls may push toward the upper target of $0.00247. However, a breakdown below the trendline could trigger a 13% dip toward the $0.0016 zone.
As of press time, the Supertrend indicator was green and positioned below price, signaling ongoing bullish momentum, though that could shift quickly if support breaks.
With a 4% loss, Notcoin is hovering around the $0.0021 range. NOT’s CMF value indicates that money is flowing out of the asset. All the major assets are charted in red, eyeing the downside, with the crypto market losing momentum. The largest assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have fallen to reclaim the recent lows in the morning hours. The bearish pressure has triggered the price action of the digital assets to retrace.
Meanwhile, Notcoin (NOT) has slipped with a 4.21% loss in value following the bear power. NOT began trading the day at around $0.002277. Eventually, the wave of bears took the asset’s price down to a low range of $0.002118.
The CMC data has shown that at press time, Notcoin trades within the $0.002166 mark, with the market cap reaching $215.42 million. Moreover, the daily trading volume of NOT is up by over 6.76%, likely touching the $32.43 million level.
The asset has recorded a brief spike in the last seven days. Notcoin’s weekly low was marked at around the $0.0019 range. With the bullish presence, the price has climbed toward $0.0023. Also, it has managed not to drop below the $0.0021 zone.
Will Notcoin Recover Soon? With the bears gaining strength, the Notcoin price might fall to the $0.002161 support. An extended downside correction could trigger more losses, and the price would revisit the established low ranges between $0.002156 and $0.002150. If the bullish pressure rises, the asset’s price could ascend to the nearest resistance at the $0.002171 level. Sturdy bulls might likely take the Notcoin price toward $0.002176 and even higher.
The asset’s Moving Average Convergence Divergence line slipping below the zero line points to the faded bullish trend. As the signal line is above zero, there is some residual positive momentum, but at a risk of turning neutral or bearish if the MACD of Notcoin dips further. In addition, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator settled at -0.12 infers a mild selling pressure in the market. Notably, the money is flowing out of the asset.
Notcoin’s daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) value of 47.60 is neutral, leaning slightly toward the bearish side. Furthermore, the Bull Bear Power (BBP) reading of the asset found at -0.000113 is extremely close to zero, which suggests that the buyers and sellers are evenly matched, with no strong directional pressure present.

Bear Bite for Fartcoin: Will It Recover or Spiral Deeper After a 21% Crash?
Content Writer | Crypto Enthusiast | Bridging Literature and Blockchain
GameFi is broken – if it ever worked to begin with. Play-to-earn relied on complicated tokenomics (often inflationary), with gameplay driven largely by luck. And if you really wanted to earn more, the easiest way was by bot-powered reward farming.
As a result, the GameFi sector hasn’t really gotten off the ground, mired in crappy gameplay and poor mechanics.
But Tapzi ($TAPZI) could change everything, finally fulfilling GameFi’s promise.
GameFi Sector Outlook: Stormy, But Rays of Light Activity in blockchain gaming has softened in recent months.
DappRadar’s Q2 2025 snapshot shows daily unique active wallets (dUAW) across Web3 at 24.3M (down 2.5% quarter-over-quarter), with gaming’s share at 20% and gaming-specific dUAW down 17% quarter-over-quarter to 4.8M.
Steep year-over-year funding declines and a wave of game shutdowns have been tied to weak retention and unsustainable tokenomics.
But these negative stats might just be the calm before the storm. So far, the GameFi industry has stagnated due to poor games – not because of any problem with the underlying concept.
And there are bright spots in the sector, too, such as the Notcoin phenomenon on TON. It pushed wallet growth and popularized simple tap-to-earn mechanics – evidence that straightforward loops and social distribution can still succeed.
Another positive sign? Traditional publishers are testing on-chain features:
Ubisoft rolls out Might & Magic: Fates with Immutable, and Immutable has opened ‘Immutable Play’ to Web2 studios to add on-chain rewards. Sega launched KAI: Battle of Three Kingdoms in April on the Oasys blockchain Netmarble continues to push a 2025 roadmap with seven Immutable-based blockchain games Fifa, Mythical Games, and even Cirque du Soleil are getting into Web3 games. Coming at a time when the broader market is down, these moves underscore a shift toward optional, utility-led blockchain layers rather than token-first design.
And blockchain-first architecture is exactly what Tapzi offers.
Tapzi: Gaming Platform and Skill-Based Winners Aware of the weaknesses of the Web3 gaming world, Tapzi sets out to solve them. One of the best crypto presales and best meme coins of 2025, Tapzi offers gasless, bot-free matches that let players stake tokens in live duels of chess, checkers, tic-tac-toe and rock-paper-scissors.
The winner takes the pot, pure and simple.
Tapzi’s core loop is simple: before a match of chess, checkers, rock-paper-scissors or tic-tac-toe, both players stake $TAPZI; the winner takes the prize pool.
Matches are gasless (not as fees), so micro-stakes aren’t eaten by fees and are played live against human opponents (no bots). The whitepaper calls for on-chain result storage, replays and cryptographic timestamps for dispute resolution.
The aim is to reward time and talent, not random number generators or loot-box dynamics.
Tapzi’s not waiting around, either – a demo is already live, with gasless, real-time multiplayer and anti-bot measures to keep outcomes decided by gameplay rather than randomness or emissions.
Tapzi is a platform, not just a single game. SDKs and smart-contract tools are planned so outside developers can launch skill-based titles on Tapzi’s arcade, set custom rules, and route staking-based rewards to players.
That approach aligns with the sector’s tilt toward infrastructure. While simple, classic games ironically provide more reliable gameplay than many more ‘advanced’ GameFi concepts.
Tapzi ($TAPZI): Future-Ready Architecture to Rejuvenate Blockchain Gaming Hold $TAPZI to enter matches, join ranked events and purchase upgrades, thereby creating in-game demand. Prize pools are player-funded (winner takes the opponent’s stake), with no additional emissions.
The total supply is 5B tokens: 20% presale, 20% liquidity, 15% locked treasury, 10% for airdrops, development, marketing, and the team behind the project. An additional 5% goes towards user rewards.
By delivering gasless, bot-resistant matches and verifiable results, Tapzi could ride current currents in Web3 gaming.
Smaller, instantly playable loops, real stakes, and platform-first distribution drive a smooth, practiced feel to the project, in contrast to clunky interfaces of other projects.
Tapzi arrives just as GameFi investors are looking for the best crypto to buy – and they’re looking for quality projects.
That could explain why the presale is off to a roaring start, with tokens priced at $0.0035, with an expected listing price of $0.009. Purchase tokens with wallets like Best Wallet; crypto accepted includes $ETH, $BNB, $MATIC, $SOL, $TRX and card payments.
Tapzi Launches at Perfect Time, Takes GameFi by Storm Tapzi enters a tougher, more discerning market where metrics and retention matter more than token hype.
That’s perfect – Tapzi delivers the gaming experience and platform the market is looking for.
Do your own research first, of course. None of this is financial advice.

NOT/USDT Descending Channel Pattern (Source: TradingView) In the above chart, Notcoin (NOT) laid out a Descending Channel. A descending channel, also known as a falling channel, is a bearish technical analysis pattern formed by two parallel downward-sloping trendlines. The upper trendline connects a series of high points, indicating resistance where the price struggles to rise above, while the lower trendline connects the lower points, acting as support.
This pattern suggests that sellers are in control, with the price consistently making lower highs and lower lows. Traders often look to sell near the upper trendline and buy near the lower trendline, as the price typically oscillates within this defined range. Overall, the descending channel helps traders identify potential shorting opportunities and assess market sentiment.
At the time of analysis, the price of Notcoin (NOT) was recorded at $0.0006049. If the pattern trend continues, then the price of NOT might reach the resistance levels of $0.009746, and $0.028257. If the trend reverses, then the price of NOT may fall to the support of $0.005381.

Notcoin price surged nearly 36 percent in the past 24 hours as sudden bullish speculation lifted the Telegram-based token sharply higher.
However, the rally did not translate into sustained momentum. Instead, it triggered the heaviest bout of selling in six months.
Notcoin Pulls Away From BitcoinThe correlation between Notcoin and Bitcoin has weakened considerably, falling to 0.43. This rapid decline shows NOT is no longer closely following Bitcoin’s price movements. Such separation can be advantageous if BTC continues its volatility or posts further declines, as NOT may avoid direct downside pressure.
However, it also introduces new risks. A strong Bitcoin rebound could pull liquidity away from smaller speculative assets, potentially dragging NOT lower even if its internal sentiment remains neutral.

NOT Correlation To Bitcoin. Source: TradingViewThe Chaikin Money Flow indicator shows a sharp downtick over the past 24 hours, confirming heavy outflows. The indicator has moved deeper into negative territory, signaling that investors quickly exited their positions following the rally. Many likely sold to capture profits or reduce exposure, contributing to the steep pullback.
This selling pressure undermines the bullish impulse that initially fueled NOT’s surge. Sustained outflows at this pace could limit recovery attempts in the short term. Notcoin will need renewed accumulation and stability in the broader market to counterbalance the impact.
NOT CMF. Source: TradingViewNOT Price Jumps SharplyNOT price peaked at $0.000750 during the intra-day high before falling to $0.000615 at the time of writing. The rapid correction reflects the cooling sentiment and aligns with the outflow signals seen in market indicators.
If Bitcoin begins recovering, NOT may struggle. A rebound in BTC often redirects liquidity toward larger, less volatile assets, which could push NOT below its $0.000609 support. Losing this level would expose the token to a decline toward $0.000552.
NOT Price Analysis. Source: TradingViewConversely, if Bitcoin drops again and NOT investors regain confidence, the altcoin could find support at $0.000609. A successful rebound from this level may lift the price toward $0.000723, offering a chance to invalidate the bearish outlook.
Notcoin [NOT] has surged over 21% in the past day at press time, but the rally is drawing skepticism, with key indicators and declining market sentiment raising questions about whether the move can sustain itself.
Community sentiment, which reflects investor conviction in an asset’s direction, fell even as price climbed, widening the gap between price action and the confidence typically needed to back it.
Notcoin’s rally carries real risk The surge broke 89 days of range-bound trading that began in February, with a two-day consecutive bullish candle formation triggering the breakout, but the indicators behind the move tell a more cautious story.
The Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) indicator spiked within the 24-hour window, reflecting strong buying pressure on the surface. It remained in negative territory throughout, however, signaling that sell-side traders still hold a structural advantage in the market.
Source: TradingView At the time of writing, Notcoin’s total volume sat at 6.2 billion, offering little additional weight to the bullish case.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) compounded the concern, as it crossed above the 70 threshold into overvalued territory. At that level, the indicator typically reflects buyer exhaustion, and a price pullback becomes increasingly probable.
Notcoin’s perpetual market tells the real story The strongest case for a bull trap comes from the perpetual market, where capital positioning and liquidation data both lean bearish.
CoinGlass data shows the OI-Weighted Funding Rate has turned negative again, and sharply.
At press time, the rate dropped to roughly -0.0676%, indicating that the majority of capital in the perpetual market is held by short traders positioning for a price decline. It stands as the second steepest negative funding reading of the year.
Source: CoinGlass Liquidation data reinforces that picture. Short traders have lost $212,000 over the past day against $202,000 lost by longs, a near-even split that cuts against the typical pattern of a genuine rally, where shorts absorb the bulk of forced exits.
That balance points to weakening long-side conviction and raises the likelihood that momentum could shift against buyers.
Spot traders are bullish on NOT Spot traders appear to be walking into a potential bull trap, with investors across multiple exchanges treating the rally as an accumulation opportunity.
The Spot Exchange Netflow, which tracks capital movement in and out of centralized exchanges to indicate buying and selling pressure, shows spot traders have collectively purchased $427,000 worth of the asset.
Source: CoinGlass That positioning leaves them exposed if the rally loses ground. Should momentum hold, however, short traders face significant liquidation risk and the prospect of steeper losses ahead.
Final Summary Notcoin swings higher, but technical indicators and perpetual market positioning put longs at risk. Spot traders acquired $427,000 worth of NOT across exchanges, exposing them to potential downside.
Notcoin [NOT], the Telegram-linked cryptocurrency, has emerged as one of the top gainers across the crypto market over the past day.
The altcoin was up 25% on the 13th of June and appears to be drawing in weekend liquidity that is pushing its price higher. Sentiment looks strong, but what exactly does the data reveal about whether the move can hold?
AMBCrypto breaks down the factors behind the rally.
Are traders betting against Notcoin? Perpetual market data showed a heavy inflow of capital shaping Notcoin’s short-term outlook.
Open Interest, which tracks capital committed to perpetual contracts, surged sharply. Positions on Binance and Bybit reached $3.1 million each, while total marketwide Open Interest climbed to $7.8 million.
Roughly 90% of that capital arrived in the past 24 hours. However, traders did not direct it toward the long side. Instead, they increased bearish exposure and positioned for a move lower.
Source: Coinalyze The Funding Rate reinforced that stance, turning sharply negative to -0.1221% over the past day. As traders continued building short exposure, the reading suggested selling pressure was intensifying.
Why is Notcoin rising anyway? Notcoin’s price climbed despite that bearish positioning, with the data pointing to a recent surge in retail interest.
Google Trends data showed a sharp rise in global search activity for Notcoin. Interest climbed to a reading of 35, signalling growing attention around the asset.
A fractal also appeared to be forming. The highlighted sections on the chart showed search interest ranging before previous upside moves.
Source: Google Trends That pattern produced a 92% jump in search interest between the 4th and 7th of May. The past two days alone delivered a further 31% increase between the 12th and 13th of June.
Can NOT’s rally continue? The bulls remained active, and rising Google search interest aligned with a similar consolidation phase before previous breakouts.
What strengthened the bullish case was Notcoin’s move above a key supply zone. A strong bullish candle also remained in formation.
Source: TradingView The Accumulation/Distribution Indicator climbed alongside price, signalling that buyers continued accumulating NOT token rather than distributing it. That added support to the bullish outlook.
Final Summary Notcoin gained 25% as rising retail interest helped offset growing bearish positioning in derivatives markets. Open Interest surged to $7.8 million, with most new capital entering during the previous 24 hours.
ONDO is maintaining its position within an ascending channel, with technical indicators highlighting strong buying activity. The cryptocurrency’s ability to remain above critical support levels suggests that bullish momentum could persist if the current trend continues. At the time of reporting, ONDO was trading at $0.3739, with a 24-hour trading volume of $140.75 million and a market capitalization reaching $1.82 billion.
Key level in technical outlookAccording to cryptocurrency analyst Umair Orakzai, ONDO’s current price pattern does not fit the typical definition of a bull flag. Orakzai notes that the formation is too wide and the previous decline was too deep to classify as a classic continuation pattern. Instead, the chart is best described as an ascending channel, reflecting a controlled squeeze rather than a sudden breakout.
Umair Orakzai observes that the ONDO chart is not a textbook bull flag, but rather shows buyers and sellers balancing within an upward-sloping channel.
Within this channel, the 100-day simple moving average stands out as the primary threshold. This level acts as dynamic support in the current trend. As long as ONDO stays above this line, the positive technical outlook is likely to hold. If momentum within the channel strengthens, the next target is seen at the $0.50 mark.
Institutional interest and ETF initiativeBeyond the technicals, Ondo Finance’s strategic moves on the institutional front are drawing attention. The company is known for focusing on bringing traditional financial products onto blockchain infrastructure. Under a new partnership, all Global X ETF products offered by the South Korea-based asset management giant Mirae Asset will be tokenized via Ondo Finance’s platform.
Glossary: Tokenization refers to the creation of digital representations of traditional financial assets—such as stocks, funds, or bonds—on the blockchain. An ETF is an exchange-traded fund that tracks a specific index, theme, or asset group.
With this move, Mirae Asset is set to become one of the first large-scale Asian asset managers to bring ETF products on-chain. In the initial phase, 10 thematic ETFs—ranging from artificial intelligence to income-focused funds—are slated for tokenization.
Data from Ondo Finance shows that the partnership with Mirae Asset to tokenize the Global X ETF series has intensified institutional interest in on-chain finance.
These developments signal a growing trend of tokenization within capital markets. Moving traditional financial vehicles onto blockchain infrastructure can offer advantages such as faster settlement, the ability for fractional ownership, and enhanced global accessibility. This shift may pave the way for a more globally interconnected investment issuance and distribution landscape.

Crypto platform Blockchain.com has added 173 tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds through a partnership with Ondo Finance, bringing its catalog of tokenized traditional assets to more than 430 offerings across Ethereum, Solana and BNB Chain.
According to an announcement on Wednesday, the new listings include tokenized exposure to private company shares, active exchange-traded funds, Treasury products and covered-call strategies, with Blockchain.com highlighting SpaceX's SPCX token among the additions.
The expansion also adds themed baskets tied to AI infrastructure, energy, robotics, autonomous vehicles and quantum computing, alongside income-focused products from Global X and other issuers.
A recent proposal by the US Securities and Exchange Commission to scrap two rules in its national market system regulations has been described by Galaxy head of research Alex Thorn as “one of the biggest unlocks yet for tokenized stocks” as it would remove “one of the biggest structural barriers to tokenized US equities trading in DeFi.”
Blockchain.com said the assets are available immediately through Ondo's routing and liquidity infrastructure, which supports trading across all 173 new listings at launch.
Ondo is one of the largest tokenization platforms by asset value, with roughly $3.8 billion in distributed assets across 267 tokenized products, according to RWA.xyz data.

The launch comes a week after Blockchain.com introduced a SpaceX-linked perpetual contract for institutional clients, expanding its push into tokenized and traditional financial markets.
Onchain stocks building momentumThe tokenized equities market has grown rapidly this year. RWA.xyz data shows tokenized equities hold roughly $1.57 billion in distributed value, up nearly fivefold from about $330 million a year ago.
The market includes tokenized shares of public companies, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and private firms. Among the largest tokenized equity assets by value are Strategy, Circle, Nvidia and Exodus shares.

Competition has been intensifing as crypto exchanges and wallet providers race to offer onchain access to traditional financial assets. Earlier this month, Exodus launched a marketplace for more than 200 tokenized stocks, ETFs and other real-world assets through a separate partnership with Ondo Finance.
Several crypto platforms also introduced products tied to SpaceX's IPO, ranging from tokenized IPO access and pre-IPO contracts to perpetual futures linked to the company's shares. Binance said its SpaceX tokenized IPO offering attracted more than $557 million in USDC deposits from users seeking exposure to the listing.
However, the SpaceX IPO also highlighted some of the sector's challenges. Several exchanges, including Binance, Bybit, Bitget Wallet and MEXC, were forced to cancel tokenized SpaceX offerings and issue refunds after failing to secure share allocations. Many of those products relied on Kraken-owned xStocks for distribution and settlement infrastructure.
The IPO was reportedly nearly four times oversubscribed, attracting more than $250 billion in investor demand for a $75 billion offering, according to Reuters.

PANews, June 18 — According to Cointelegraph, crypto platform Blockchain.com has added 173 tokenized stocks and ETFs through a partnership with Ondo Finance, expanding its catalog of tokenized traditional assets to over 430, covering Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain. The newly listed assets include private company stocks, active ETFs, Treasury products, and covered call strategies, along with new thematic baskets in areas such as AI infrastructure, energy, robotics, autonomous vehicles, and quantum computing. Blockchain.com stated that these assets are instantly available through Ondo’s routing and liquidity infrastructure.
Ondo Finance has made its largest single asset expansion to date, adding 173 tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds to its Ondo Global Markets platform. The move pushes the platform's total catalog beyond 430 assets across Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain.
What's New in the Expansion The largest asset addition to date broadens $ONDO's coverage across artificial intelligence, robotics, quantum computing, defense technology, and other sectors attracting heavy public-market demand. The new listings also include tokenized exposure to private company shares, active ETFs, Treasury products, and covered-call strategies, with SpaceX's SPCX token highlighted among the additions.
Ondo Global Markets brings traditional public securities onchain, with tokens that are freely transferable and usable in DeFi. The tokens are custody-backed, with underlying securities held at US-registered broker-dealers, while onchain holders receive economic exposure rather than shareholder rights.
A Platform Built Across Multiple Chains Ondo Global Markets extends beyond Ethereum and BNB Chain, where it launched in late 2025, to now include Solana. The platform is described as the world's largest tokenized stock and ETF platform by total value locked. With its Solana deployment, Ondo Global Markets became the largest real-world asset issuer on the network by asset count, representing approximately 65% of all tokenized real-world assets currently live on Solana.
Ondo Finance plans to expand from tokenized stocks and Treasuries into managed onchain investment portfolios, as tokenized assets surpass $30 billion in value and draw interest from major financial institutions. For non-US investors, the platform offers a direct route into US equity markets without a traditional brokerage account, with institutional-grade custody and access to deep traditional market liquidity.

Ondo Finance’s native token ONDO has sustained its bullish momentum after breaking through a key resistance zone. At press time, ONDO was trading at $0.3779, with its 24-hour trading volume reaching $131.42 million and market capitalization standing at $1.84 billion. A 2.59 percent price increase over the past day has put the prospect of a technical rebound back on investors’ radar.
The $0.43 level comes into focus on the technical chartAccording to crypto analyst Alpha Crypto Signal, ONDO successfully broke above an ascending triangle formation. This breakout signals growing buying power as prices climb above a crucial resistance level. Maintaining higher lows is also cited as further supporting the ongoing upward trend.
As Alpha Crypto Signal analyzed, ONDO’s price has broken out of the ascending triangle, and if this zone continues to act as support, the upward trend could strengthen.
What was once a resistance area now acting as support is considered a key indicator of a potential short-term shift in direction. If ONDO manages to hold above this region, $0.43 emerges as the next logical target. On the flip side, a drop back below the breakout zone could prompt a return to sideways movements.
A retest of the former resistance zone accompanied by a strong reaction would further confirm the bullish narrative. Such technical pullbacks are closely monitored to gauge whether a breakout is likely to be sustained.
Ondo expands its tokenized asset portfolioOn the project front, Ondo Finance announced that it has expanded its catalog of tokenized assets. The platform has added 173 new stocks and exchange traded funds (ETFs), pushing the total number of tokenized assets on its platform to over 430. Ondo Finance is known as a real world asset (RWA) project, aiming to bridge traditional financial products such as stocks and funds with blockchain infrastructure.
The new additions focus on thematic growth sectors including artificial intelligence, robotics, quantum computing, defense technologies, critical minerals, and energy infrastructure. This move signals increasing sector diversity within blockchain-based investment products.

JPMorgan, Mastercard, and Ondo settled a tokenized US Treasury on the XRP Ledger in May, in a legal gray zone where no statute defines on-chain settlement. The technology is years ahead of the law. The CLARITY Act is the bill that would let the rest of Wall Street follow.
Summary
XRP’s settlement thesis is already being tested by major financial institutions. The bottleneck is legal certainty, not whether the technology works. RLUSD gives the XRP ecosystem a credible on-chain dollar leg for settlement. The long-term case depends on whether CLARITY lets pilots become scaled infrastructure. In May 2026, JPMorgan, Mastercard, and Ondo Finance completed a tokenized US Treasury settlement on the XRP Ledger. Read that again, because the names matter: the largest bank in the United States, the largest payment network in the world, and a leading tokenization firm settled a real US government security on the blockchain associated with XRP.
NEW: JPMorgan, Mastercard, Ondo Finance and Ripple complete tokenized Treasury redemption test on XRP Ledger. Settlement took roughly 5 seconds compared to 3 to 5 business days on traditional rails pic.twitter.com/9Rkd3MkWF4
— crypto.news (@cryptodotnews) June 12, 2026 The transaction worked. The technology did what it was supposed to do. And it happened in a legal gray area, because no US statute defines the rules for settling tokenized real-world assets on a public blockchain.
The plumbing is already running. The law has not caught up.
This is the disconnect at the heart of one of crypto’s most consequential stories. The XRP Ledger already hosts more than $3.5 billion in tokenized real-world assets, and the institutions experimenting on it are not crypto startups but the pillars of traditional finance.
What is missing is not the technology, which works, or the institutional appetite, which is evident, but the legal certainty that would let this move from cautious pilots into the trillions of dollars of settlement that institutions handle every day. The CLARITY Act is the bill that would provide that certainty.
This piece explains what XRP is actually doing in institutional settlement today, why the law is the bottleneck and not the technology, how CLARITY would change the picture, and what it would mean to connect the world’s settlement infrastructure to the blockchain.
What XRP is actually doing in settlement Consider the reality on the ground, because the gap between what XRP is doing and what most people think it does is enormous.
XRP’s popular image is a speculative token that trades on regulatory headlines. The institutional reality is different.
The XRP Ledger is a blockchain designed for fast, cheap settlement of value, and it is being used, right now, by serious financial institutions to settle tokenized real-world assets. These are securities and instruments that exist in the traditional financial system but are represented on-chain as tokens.
The May 2026 settlement of a tokenized US Treasury by JPMorgan, Mastercard, and Ondo Finance is the flagship example, proof that a government bond can be settled on the XRP Ledger by the most trusted names in finance. And it is not isolated: the ledger hosts more than $3.5 billion in tokenized real-world assets, a figure that reflects genuine institutional usage, not retail speculation.
Why institutions are drawn to this is that settlement is one of the slowest, most expensive, and most antiquated parts of traditional finance. When securities change hands today, the actual settlement, the final transfer of ownership and cash, can take days, passing through layers of intermediaries, each adding cost, delay, and risk.
Tokenizing an asset and settling it on a blockchain collapses that process. The transfer can be near-instant, around the clock, with the ownership record and the settlement happening in the same place at the same time.
For an institution moving large volumes, that is not a marginal improvement; it is a structural upgrade to one of the most important and inefficient functions in finance. XRP’s ledger, built for exactly this kind of value transfer, is positioned as one of the rails on which that upgrade can run, which is why names like JPMorgan are testing it instead of dismissing it.
Why the law is the bottleneck Because the technology works and the institutions are interested, the thing holding back the trillions is not capability. It is legal certainty, and understanding why requires seeing settlement from an institution’s perspective.
When JPMorgan settles a tokenized Treasury on the XRP Ledger, it is operating in a space the law does not clearly govern. No US statute defines the rules for on-chain settlement of tokenized real-world assets: what legal status the on-chain record has, how it interacts with existing securities law, who bears responsibility if something goes wrong, and how the settlement is treated for regulatory and accounting purposes.
The May transaction worked technically, but it ran in a legal gray area, and that gray area is precisely the problem. A bank can run a careful pilot in a gray area.
It cannot move the core of its settlement operations, the trillions of dollars that flow through the system, into a space where the legal treatment is undefined, because the regulatory, legal, and fiduciary risk of doing so at scale is unacceptable. Institutions need to know the rules before they commit their main business, and right now the rules do not exist.
This is why the bottleneck is legal, not technical. Every institution that has piloted tokenized settlement on the XRP Ledger has proven the technology, and every one of them has stopped short of scaling it, because scaling means betting core operations on a legal framework that has not been written.
The gap between a $3.5 billion pilot environment and the trillions that could eventually settle on-chain is almost entirely a gap of legal certainty. The institutions are standing at the edge of the pool, the water is fine, and they are waiting for someone to confirm it is legal to dive in.
Until a statute defines on-chain settlement, the pilots stay pilots, impressive proofs of concept that cannot become the backbone they are capable of being.
How CLARITY changes the picture This is where the CLARITY Act enters, because it is the bill that would write the rules the institutions are waiting for, and its significance for XRP runs deeper than the price discussions that usually surround it.
The CLARITY Act, which passed the House and cleared the Senate Banking Committee, would set up a federal framework for digital assets, including the statutory basis for how tokenized assets and on-chain settlement are treated under US law. Where today there is a gray area, CLARITY would provide a defined legal structure.
It would create clear rules for what on-chain settlement means, how it fits with existing law, and what institutions can and cannot do. That certainty is the missing ingredient.
With a statute in place, the institutions piloting tokenized settlement on the XRP Ledger would have the legal foundation to move from experiments toward scaled deployment. The regulatory and legal risk that currently caps them at pilot size would be resolved.
The bill does not build the technology, which already works. It removes the legal barrier that keeps the working technology confined to the lab, which is why a statute beats an agency classification.
What this could unlock is staggering. The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation, the backbone of US securities settlement, processes volumes measured in the quadrillions of dollars annually, and the broader infrastructure of clearing and settlement handles the entire flow of American securities markets.
If on-chain settlement gains a legal framework, that enormous flow gains a path toward blockchain rails. The XRP Ledger, already chosen by JPMorgan and Mastercard for pilots, is positioned as one of the venues where it could run.
That puts XRP inside the parallel tokenization race, where major institutions are testing which public and private rails can carry real securities at scale.
Ripple, the company most associated with XRP, has been building toward exactly this institutional future, including pursuing the kind of regulatory standing and infrastructure that would let it operate at the heart of the settlement system. CLARITY is the legal key that would turn the institutional interest already visible in the pilots into the scaled adoption the technology is built for.
The RLUSD piece and the broader infrastructure The settlement story does not stand alone; it sits inside a broader build-out of XRP-linked institutional infrastructure that makes the thesis more concrete.
Alongside the tokenized-asset settlement, Ripple’s dollar-backed stablecoin, RLUSD, has grown into a significant piece of payment infrastructure. It has reached roughly $1.7 billion in market capitalization and ranks among the largest stablecoins, live across more than 40 networks.
In June 2026, Mastercard added RLUSD to its around-the-clock on-chain settlement network alongside other major stablecoins, a meaningful integration that places an XRP-ecosystem asset inside the settlement plumbing of one of the world’s dominant payment networks. Stablecoins matter here because they are the cash leg of on-chain settlement.
When a tokenized Treasury changes hands, the payment side needs a stable, on-chain dollar, and RLUSD’s growth and its Mastercard integration give the XRP ecosystem a credible answer to that need. The asset side and the cash side of on-chain settlement are both being built around XRP-linked infrastructure.
RLUSD distribution is also widening beyond the institutional plumbing. The stablecoin is now live on Gate, with XRP and RLUSD spot trading pairs available, adding another liquidity venue for the ecosystem.
Taken together, the picture is of an ecosystem positioning itself as institutional settlement infrastructure across multiple dimensions: the XRP Ledger for settling tokenized assets, RLUSD for the on-chain dollar leg, and Ripple pursuing the regulatory standing to operate inside the existing clearing system.
None of these pieces is speculative in the way the token’s price action is; they are concrete integrations with named institutions. What unites them is that they are all, to varying degrees, waiting on the same thing the tokenized-Treasury settlement is waiting on: a legal framework that lets institutional on-chain settlement scale.
The infrastructure is being assembled ahead of the law, in anticipation of it, which is what makes the legislative question so central to the whole thesis.
Why this matters more than the price Most XRP conversation is about price and ETFs and short-term catalysts, but the settlement story is the one that matters for the long-term thesis, and it deserves to be separated from the noise.
If XRP becomes a meaningful rail for institutional settlement, its value would come from utility, from being truly useful infrastructure that institutions rely on to move trillions of dollars, instead of from speculation about the next regulatory headline. That is a fundamentally different and more durable basis for value than trading sentiment.
The tokenized-Treasury settlement, the $3.5 billion in real-world assets on the ledger, and the RLUSD integration with Mastercard are evidence that the utility case is not hypothetical but already in motion. It is constrained only by the legal certainty that CLARITY would provide.
An investor focused only on XRP’s price chart is watching the wrong variable. The variable that matters for the long-term thesis is whether this institutional settlement infrastructure scales, and that depends on the law.
That is separate from the price side of the same CLARITY catalyst, where ETF flows and classification certainty can move the token before the settlement thesis fully matures.
The caveat worth stating is that the legal certainty is not guaranteed and the timeline is uncertain. CLARITY has advanced but not passed, and its fate is truly contested, which means the catalyst that would unlock scaled settlement could arrive soon, could be delayed for years, or could fail.
That is the legislative risk to the thesis. The institutional infrastructure being built around XRP is real, but its payoff is gated by a legislative process that nobody controls, and an investor counting on the settlement thesis is, in part, betting on a bill.
That is the central uncertainty: the technology works, the institutions are interested, the infrastructure is being built, and all of it waits on a law that has not yet been written. The settlement story is the strongest long-term case for XRP, and it is also a case that depends on a variable outside the technology’s control.
What it means for investors For anyone weighing XRP, the settlement thesis reframes what the asset actually is and what to watch.
XRP is not only a token that trades on regulatory headlines. It is the native asset of a ledger that the largest institutions in finance are already using to settle tokenized real-world assets, with a stablecoin and a regulatory build-out positioning the ecosystem as institutional settlement infrastructure.
The investor who understands this watches different signals than the trader fixated on price: the growth of tokenized assets on the ledger, new institutional pilots and integrations, the progress of RLUSD, and above all the legislative path of CLARITY. That law is the gate between the current pilot phase and scaled adoption.
The settlement story is the reason to take XRP seriously as a long-term infrastructure bet, not only a speculative token. It also fits the long-term outlook for XRP, where adoption, regulation, RLUSD, and tokenized assets all matter more than a single chart setup.
Holding the realism alongside the thesis matters. The infrastructure is real and already in use, which is strongly bullish for the long-term case, but the scaling depends on legal certainty that has not arrived and may be delayed.
The token’s price in the meantime will keep trading on the same sentiment and macro forces that move all of crypto, disconnected from the slow institutional build-out underneath. An investor should separate the durable thesis, XRP as settlement infrastructure, from the short-term price action, and recognize that the thesis pays off only if the law catches up to the technology.
None of this is investment advice; it is a frame for seeing what XRP is actually doing beneath the price.
The technology is ready. The law is the question. One fact about XRP in 2026 outranks the rest, and it is the one that gets the least attention: the largest institutions in finance are already settling tokenized US Treasuries on its ledger, the technology works, and more than $3.5 billion in real-world assets are already on-chain.
The plumbing for the future of settlement is not a someday promise. It is running now, in pilots, with names like JPMorgan and Mastercard.
What holds it back is not capability but law. The May settlement happened in a legal gray area because no statute defines on-chain settlement, and that gray area is the wall between cautious pilots and the trillions of dollars that institutions could eventually move on these rails.
The CLARITY Act is the bill that would take down that wall, providing the legal framework that lets working technology become scaled infrastructure. The technology is ready.
The institutions are interested. The infrastructure is being built.
The only thing standing between XRP and a role at the center of institutional settlement is a law that has not yet been written, and that, far more than any price target, is the question that will decide whether XRP becomes the settlement rail it is already being tested as. The plumbing is laid. The law just has to catch up.
Frequently asked questions Is XRP really being used to settle US Treasuries? Yes. In May 2026, JPMorgan, Mastercard, and Ondo Finance completed a tokenized US Treasury settlement on the XRP Ledger. The XRP Ledger also hosts more than $3.5 billion in tokenized real-world assets. These are genuine institutional uses of the ledger for settling tokenized securities, not retail speculation, though they currently operate as pilots rather than scaled deployments because the legal framework for on-chain settlement is not yet defined.
Why is the law the bottleneck rather than the technology? The technology already works, as the May Treasury settlement showed, but no US statute defines the rules for settling tokenized real-world assets on a public blockchain. That leaves the legal status, responsibility, and regulatory treatment undefined. Institutions can run careful pilots in this gray area but cannot move core settlement operations, worth trillions, into a space where the legal treatment is unclear. The bottleneck is legal certainty, not capability.
How would the CLARITY Act change things for XRP? The CLARITY Act would set up a federal framework for digital assets, including the statutory basis for how tokenized assets and on-chain settlement are treated under US law. That would replace today’s legal gray area with defined rules, giving institutions the legal foundation to move tokenized settlement from pilots toward scaled deployment. It does not build technology, which already works, but removes the legal barrier confining it to experiments.
What is RLUSD and how does it fit in? RLUSD is Ripple’s dollar-backed stablecoin, which has grown to roughly $1.7 billion in market capitalization and is live across more than 40 networks. In June 2026, Mastercard added it to its around-the-clock on-chain settlement network. RLUSD matters because stablecoins are the cash leg of on-chain settlement. When a tokenized asset changes hands, the payment side needs a stable on-chain dollar, and RLUSD gives the XRP ecosystem an answer to that need.
Why does the settlement story matter more than XRP’s price? If XRP becomes a meaningful rail for institutional settlement, its value would derive from genuine utility, being infrastructure institutions rely on to move trillions, instead of from speculation on regulatory headlines. That would be a more durable basis for value. The tokenized-Treasury settlement, the assets on the ledger, and the RLUSD integration show the utility case is already in motion, constrained only by the legal certainty CLARITY would provide. The settlement thesis is the long-term case; the price is short-term noise by comparison.
What is the main risk to the XRP settlement thesis? The legal certainty is not guaranteed and the timeline is uncertain. The CLARITY Act has advanced but not passed, and its fate is truly contested, so the catalyst that would unlock scaled settlement could arrive soon, be delayed for years, or fail. The institutional infrastructure around XRP is real, but its payoff is gated by a legislative process nobody controls. The technology works and institutions are interested, but the thesis depends on a law that has not yet been written.

Ondo Finance expanded Ondo Global Markets with 173 new tokenized stocks and ETFs on Tuesday, lifting the platform's total catalog past 430 assets on Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain. The batch brings AI, robotics, quantum, defense tech, critical materials, and data center energy names onchain alongside BlackRock active ETFs and covered call strategies.
Ondo Finance added 173 tokenized stocks and ETFs to Ondo Global Markets on Tuesday, pushing its catalog past 430 assets available across Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain.
Ondo Finance's official X account announced the expansion on June 17. The batch spans some of the most capital-intensive corners of public markets: AI, robotics, quantum computing, defense tech, critical materials, and data center energy. Also included are BlackRock active ETFs and covered call income strategies, products largely inaccessible to crypto-native investors before tokenization. Analytics platform Birdeye added support for all 173 new assets, bringing its tracked Ondo Finance total past 430 as well.
The Platform Behind the CatalogOndo Global Markets is a tokenized-securities platform that gives non-US investors onchain access to publicly traded U.S. stocks and ETFs. Each token is backed 1:1 by the underlying security, purchased and held in custody by a U.S.-registered broker-dealer. Tokens track the total return of the underlying position, including dividends, and can be minted or redeemed around the clock on weekdays. The platform crossed $1 billion in total value locked on May 11, the first tokenized-stocks platform to reach that threshold, in under eight months from launch. Cumulative trading volume has surpassed $18 billion.
Ondo Finance holds more than 70% market share among tokenized equity issuers, per RWA.xyz. Its reach extends through integrations with Binance, MetaMask, Blockchain.com, and Ledger hardware wallets. In April, Ondo partnered with Broadridge Financial Solutions to let tokenized-stock holders submit proxy votes on underlying shares, a governance feature rare in the tokenized-asset space. Ondo is also in the process of acquiring Oasis Pro, a U.S. SEC-registered broker-dealer and alternative trading system, to extend its regulated infrastructure toward domestic U.S. access.
Multi-Chain DeliveryThe 173 new assets went live across all three supported chains simultaneously. That approach avoids a recurring problem in tokenized-securities rollouts: liquidity concentrating on a single network while users on other chains cannot access the same catalog.
BNB Chain joined Ondo Global Markets in October 2025. Solana launched with over 200 tokenized U.S. equities in early 2026 and has since become the largest network for Ondo-backed assets by count. Ethereum remains the foundation of the platform's institutional integrations.
The sector spread in this batch reflects where institutional and retail capital has concentrated in public markets. AI infrastructure, defense contractors, robotics, and quantum computing have each drawn sustained inflows over the past year. Critical materials and data center energy extend that theme into the physical infrastructure supporting the technology expansion.
Context in the RWA ArcTokenized stocks have emerged as the fastest-growing asset class on Ethereum in 2026, with Ondo and xStocks leading the sector, according to Token Terminal data. The category runs alongside tokenized Treasuries, where Franklin Templeton alone has exceeded $2.5 billion in assets under management.
The expansion follows Ondo's tokenization of five Franklin Templeton ETFs in March, which brought growth, large-cap, fixed income, equity income, and gold funds onchain. Felix, a protocol built on Hyperliquid, launched access to over 250 Ondo-backed tokenized equities in March, extending the catalog into perpetuals and derivatives infrastructure.
An Ondo executive said in May the company expects the tokenized equity market to reach between $2.5 billion and $3 billion by year-end, per TheStreet. Adding 173 assets in a single batch, across three chains at once, is the most direct expression of that trajectory so far. Ondo has not publicly disclosed how much of the new batch has been minted since the June 17 announcement.
MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, has listed nine Ondo tokenized stock trading pairs on the Spot markets, giving users on-chain access to real-world equity exposure across key technology sectors including AI, semiconductors, and optical communications.

Volume spikes of several thousand percent in a week are not normal conditions. When Santiment’s screener flags Bitget Wallet’s BWB token rising 5,150% and Ondo Finance’s native asset jumping 2,293% in seven-day trading volume, the market’s speculative machinery is clearly rotating into a new set of names. The latest reading, published on June 18, draws from a universe of tokens with at least $100 million market caps, making the anomalies harder to dismiss as micro-cap noise.
According to the on-chain update, the top ten list is packed with a mix of wallet tokens, stablecoin-related projects, and DeFi protocols. After BWB and Ondo, the data shows Usual Money’s USD0 surging 661%, Aerodrome Finance up 555%, SPX6900 posting a 476% rise, Backpack’s BP adding 408%, Astherus USDF climbing 364%, Tacbuild’s TAC up 352%, and USDD recording a 328% increase. The list does not include Plasma’s XPL percentage, but its presence among the top movers suggests heightened on-chain interaction.
Why Volume Surges Matter in a Fragile Market Volume, more than price, often exposes where capital is flowing before a sustained move. A spike of over 5,000% in BWB weekly volume indicates that traders are reallocating attention toward wallet tokens, possibly driven by new feature launches or platform incentives on Bitget Wallet. For Ondo, appearing at number two also ties into a larger tokenization narrative that has been gathering steam. The project was recently featured in a roundup covering the first live tokenized Treasury settlement with JPMorgan, as real-world asset tokenization crossed $20 billion on-chain. That development appears to be drawing renewed trading interest.
The presence of stablecoin-aligned projects like USD0, USDF, and USDD alongside pure speculation tokens such as SPX6900 reveals a dual dynamic. Some of the volume surge may be genuine demand for yield-bearing stablecoin alternatives, while other flows look like short-term bets on DeFi infrastructure plays. Aerodrome, as a Base-native liquidity layer, is a natural recipient of capital when traders expect increased on-chain activity on Coinbase’s L2.
What the Data Doesn’t Show Loud volume numbers hide important distinctions. Santiment’s screener measures percentage changes, meaning low baseline trading activity can produce extreme ratios. If a token averaged thin volume the prior week, even a modest uptick in absolute terms can register a multi-thousand percent increase. Without absolute dollar volumes, it is impossible to confirm deep liquidity. Traders seeing these figures should check whether the surge is accompanied by rising open interest, exchange inflows, or actual price momentum.
Weekly gainers lists often conflict with these volume signals. For instance, a separate list of top weekly gainers showed tokens like TON and VVV leading, not the volume-heavy names. That divergence can mean either accumulation ahead of price or simply wash trading and temporary ecosystem campaigns that do not convert into lasting value appreciation. The market’s next test is whether BWB and Ondo can hold these elevated activity levels into the following week or if the spike fades as quickly as it arrived.
The on-chain update from Santiment offers a heatmap of speculative churn rather than a guaranteed roadmap. When wallets, RWA protocols, and DEX liquidity layers simultaneously dominate volume lists, it suggests that traders are hunting for alpha across diverse segments, but the conviction behind each spike remains unverified until more data emerges.

Data from rwa.xyz shows that stablecoin transfer activity on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) has reached $5.11 billion over the past 30 days.
Notably, this represents a 22.84% increase compared to the previous month. The rise points to stronger on-chain liquidity and also suggests growing use of tokenized cash-like assets across the XRPL ecosystem.
Ondo Fund Becomes Second-Largest Tokenized Asset on XRPL The same dataset indicates that the Ondo Short-Term U.S. Government Bond Fund is now the second-largest tokenized fund on XRPL.
It is only behind RLUSD-related flows in size and activity. The fund recorded about $259.6 million in transfers during the period, signaling rising institutional interest in on-chain tokenized U.S. Treasury exposure.
Source: https://app.rwa.xyz/networks/xrp-ledger The trend suggests that tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) are gaining a more visible role within the XRPL ecosystem.
XRPL Shows $3.66B in Off-Chain RWA Pipeline Meanwhile, additional data from rwa.xyz reveals that XRP Ledger currently has about $3.66 billion in real-world assets represented off-chain. For comparison, Stellar holds around $79.35 million in similar represented value.
This suggests that XRPL has secured significant institutional commitments in recent months.
Some supporters believe this off-chain pipeline could begin moving on-chain more rapidly as XRPL infrastructure improves. Key upgrades often cited include:
Confidential transactions XLS-66 lending functionality Expansion of RLUSD across multiple chains The argument is that the $3.66 billion in represented assets may not enter the system gradually. Instead, it could move in larger waves once tokenization rails and institutional integrations mature.
XRPL Leads RWA Tokenization With $1.9B Inflows XRPL’s growing momentum is further strengthened by recent data showing that it recorded the highest net RWA inflows across major blockchains over the past 90 days.
Data from the RWA Foundation confirmed that XRPL attracted $1.9 billion in net RWA inflows (excluding stablecoins), ahead of Ethereum’s $1.6 billion and Stellar’s $1.4 billion.
Moreover, Messari’s Q1 2026 report shows XRPL’s RWA market cap surged 124.1% quarter-over-quarter to $2.25 billion, ranking it seventh globally at the time before rising to fourth. Distributed RWAs on XRPL also climbed to $451.1 million, up 35.6% quarter-over-quarter.
Evernorth data shows XRPL scaled from $10 million to $400 million in tokenized RWAs in ~15 months, compared to ~36 months for Ethereum. Year-to-date growth also favors XRPL, up 78% versus Ethereum’s 36%.
Overall, inflows and adoption trends suggest XRP Ledger is becoming one of the fastest-growing hubs for tokenized real-world assets.

US Treasury Secretary: AI boom may boost productivity and help curb inflation.
US Treasury Secretary Bessent told CNBC in an interview that he hopes the Federal Reserve will remain "open-minded" about the inflation pattern after the reversal of Iran-related energy price hikes. Bessent noted that the U.S. could enter an economic environment marked by high GDP growth without a corresponding rise in traditional inflation. He cited that in the 1990s, Alan Greenspan foresaw that office modernization and the internet could drive non-inflationary growth, and allowed the economy to keep expanding. Bessent believes the U.S. has a strong chance of seeing a similar scenario again. When asked whether the Fed still needs to worry about potential inflation and whether interest rate cuts are possible this year or next, Bessent declined to comment. However, he argued that it is necessary to stay open-minded about the price or inflation impacts from the Iran conflict, and monitor inflation performance after those effects subside. Bessent also said an open mind is needed, as the AI boom could boost productivity and deliver disinflationary effects, helping inflation return to the Fed’s target level. He added that he believes Kevin Warsh will choose the optimal path that meets both the Fed’s inflation and growth mandates. Bessent also noted that Warsh previously took a hawkish stance on inflation.

A redemption that used to take days cleared in about five seconds. The names in the room matter more than the speed, and the question for XRP holders is where the token actually sits in the flow.
Summary
JPMorgan, Mastercard, Ondo, and Ripple tested tokenized Treasury redemption on the XRP Ledger. The settlement speed matters, but the institutional names matter more. XRP was not the asset being redeemed, but it can sit in fees, reserves, and routing. The long-term signal is utility; the near-term question is whether volume follows. On June 12, JPMorgan, Mastercard, Ondo Finance, and Ripple completed a test that moved a tokenized United States Treasury through a full redemption on the XRP Ledger. The settlement finished in roughly five seconds.
The same operation on traditional rails takes three to five business days. crypto.news shared the result the day it happened, and within hours the XRP community had folded it into the familiar story: another institution, another marquee logo, another reason the token should be worth more than it is.
NEW: JPMorgan, Mastercard, Ondo Finance and Ripple complete tokenized Treasury redemption test on XRP Ledger. Settlement took roughly 5 seconds compared to 3 to 5 business days on traditional rails pic.twitter.com/9Rkd3MkWF4
— crypto.news (@cryptodotnews) June 12, 2026 The speed is real and the participants are real. What deserves a closer look is the part the headlines skip, which is the exact role XRP the asset plays when a tokenized Treasury changes hands on its ledger.
That answer is more interesting than a simple win or loss. It sets the boundary on how much a holder should read into the news.
What actually happened on June 12 Strip the announcement down to its parts and the test looks like this. Ondo Finance issued a tokenized version of a short-dated United States Treasury instrument, the kind of product that wraps a real government bond into an on-chain token that pays the yield of the underlying paper.
Mastercard provided the link between the regulated money layer and the chain through its Multi-Token Network, the rails it has been building to let banks move tokenized deposits and settle against tokenized assets. JPMorgan brought its institutional settlement infrastructure to the bank side of the trade.
Ripple supplied the ledger and the surrounding tooling that let the redemption clear on the XRP Ledger instead of on a private bank network.
A redemption is the moment a holder hands the token back and receives cash value in return. In the legacy world, that round trip crawls through custodians, transfer agents, and settlement windows that only open on business days.
The test compressed that into a single near-instant on-chain event, with the cash leg and the asset leg settling together instead of days apart. Atomic settlement, where both sides of a trade move or neither does, removes the gap during which one party holds an asset and waits to be paid.
That gap is where counterparty risk lives, and closing it is the entire point of putting this kind of asset on a fast public ledger. So the result is a working proof that a tokenized Treasury can be issued, held, and redeemed across a chain that major financial firms were willing to touch.
That is not nothing. It is also not the same thing as production volume, and the difference is where careful readers should slow down.
The logos are the story, up to a point Each name on the June 12 test carries weight, and the weight is worth spelling out because the market tends to treat any JPMorgan headline as a verdict.
JPMorgan has spent years building Kinexys, formerly Onyx, its blockchain settlement arm that already moves large daily volumes in tokenized deposits. When a bank of that size agrees to run a redemption across the XRP Ledger, even as a test, it signals that the ledger met its internal bar for security and controls.
Mastercard has been pushing its Multi-Token Network as the connective tissue between banks and tokenized assets, and its presence shows the test was built to plug into existing card-network plumbing instead of standing alone as a crypto experiment. Ondo is one of the larger issuers of tokenized Treasuries, and its OUSG product has become a reference point for the whole real-world-asset category.
Ripple sat at the center as the ledger host and the firm whose institutional features made the settlement possible. Put together, the group reads as a deliberate signal that tokenized Treasuries can settle on the XRP Ledger with names that compliance departments recognize.
JPMorgan, Mastercard, Ondo Finance and Ripple just completed something quietly historic.

— Rose (@Rose09202) June 21, 2026 The temptation is to draw a straight line from that signal to the XRP price. Before drawing it, look at what moved through the transaction and what did not.
Why tokenized Treasuries are the wedge asset It is no accident that the test used a Treasury and not some exotic instrument. Among all the assets the industry has tried to move on-chain, short-dated government debt has become the wedge that opens the institutional door, and the reasons say a lot about why June 12 happened at all.
A Treasury bill is the simplest large asset to tokenize honestly. It has a known issuer, a known maturity, a yield that is easy to verify, and a price that barely moves day to day.
There is little argument about what it is worth, which means a token wrapped around it can be marked with confidence and redeemed without disputes. Compare that to tokenized real estate or private credit, where valuation is slow, subjective, and easy to challenge, and the appeal of starting with Treasuries becomes obvious.
The asset removes the hardest problem in tokenization, which is agreeing on value, so the experiment can focus on the plumbing. That is why tokenization as the real story keeps coming back to Treasuries: they are liquid, familiar, yield-bearing, and easy for institutions to understand.
The demand is also concrete. Crypto firms, trading desks, and treasuries sit on large idle dollar balances, often parked in stablecoins that pay them nothing.
A tokenized Treasury lets that cash earn the yield of real government paper while staying on-chain, available to move at any hour without leaving for the banking system. That single feature, on-chain dollars that earn a real yield, has turned tokenized Treasuries into one of the fastest-growing corners of the whole digital-asset market.
Ondo’s OUSG and a handful of competitors have pulled in billions because they answer a question every on-chain treasurer has, which is how to stop leaving money on the table.
So when Ripple wanted to prove the XRP Ledger could host serious institutional settlement, the Treasury was the natural choice. It is the asset most likely to move in real size, the one institutions most want on-chain, and the one with the fewest excuses for the test to fail.
Winning the Treasury-settlement business is the beachhead. Everything heavier, corporate bonds, funds, structured credit, follows the rail that first proves itself on the simple asset.
Where XRP actually sits in the transaction Here is the part that gets lost. In the June 12 flow, the asset being moved was a tokenized Treasury. The cash leg most likely settled in a stablecoin or a tokenized deposit.
XRP, the native token of the ledger, was not the thing being bought, sold, or redeemed.
That sounds like bad news for the holder thesis, and read too quickly it would be. The reality is more layered.
XRP touches a settlement like this in three indirect ways, and each one is small per transaction but structural across millions of them.
First, every transaction on the XRP Ledger burns a tiny amount of XRP as a fee. The amounts are fractions of a cent, designed to stop spam, not to enrich anyone.
As transaction count rises, the burn rises with it, which slowly removes XRP from supply. Second, accounts and certain ledger objects require a reserve denominated in XRP, so a ledger that hosts more institutional activity locks up more XRP in reserves.
Third, and most important over time, XRP can serve as the auto-bridge asset when one currency or token needs to move into another inside the ledger’s exchange. In a redemption that converts a tokenized Treasury back into a chosen settlement currency, XRP can sit in the middle as the routing asset that connects the two sides.
While the market obsesses over price action, XRPL just processed another milestone settlement blending JPMorgan, Mastercard, and Ondo Finance rails.

— documenting XRP (@documentingXRPP) June 21, 2026 None of those roles require XRP to be the headline asset in the trade. All three grow with usage, not with hype.
That is the honest frame: the June 12 test does not put XRP at the center of the transaction, but it does feed the machinery where XRP earns its keep. Whether that machinery turns fast enough to matter for price is a separate question, and the search history of XRP suggests patience is warranted.
This is also what the tokenized Treasury settlement means for XRP: the ledger can win serious institutional use before the token captures meaningful demand. The two are connected, but not identical.
The ledger features that made it possible A redemption like this could not have run on the XRP Ledger of a few years ago. The capability is new, and it comes from a stack of institutional features Ripple and the wider XRPL developer community shipped across 2025 and into 2026.
Multi-Purpose Tokens, the MPT standard, let a token carry the metadata that a real financial instrument needs, things like maturity dates, transfer restrictions, and tranche information, without forcing developers to bolt on fragile smart contracts. Permissioned Domains and a permissioned version of the ledger’s decentralized exchange let regulated participants trade in gated environments where access depends on credentials such as know-your-customer checks.
RLUSD, Ripple’s dollar stablecoin, now settles on the ledger and gives institutions a compliant cash leg that lives on the same rail as the asset. The escrow feature was extended to support third-party tokens like RLUSD, which matters for structured settlement.
Layer the XLS-66 lending protocol on top, with its single-asset vaults that isolate credit risk one asset at a time, and the ledger starts to look less like a payments network and more like a settlement venue with a credit layer attached. The June 12 test is the visible output of that quieter build.
The features were the precondition. The redemption was the demonstration that they hold together under the eyes of firms that do not lend their names casually.
The competition for the same settlement business The XRP Ledger is not the only chain courting this work, and the contest for institutional settlement is the backdrop that gives June 12 its real stakes.
Ethereum sits at the center of the tokenized-asset world today. Most tokenized Treasuries, including the largest funds from the biggest asset managers, launched on Ethereum or its layer-2 networks, where the deepest pool of developers and the most established custody and compliance tooling already live.
An institution choosing where to settle starts from a world in which Ethereum is the default, and the burden falls on every other chain to give a reason to look elsewhere. Solana has pushed hard on speed and cost and has won its own share of tokenization projects and corporate interest.
On top of the public chains, the banks are building private ones. JPMorgan’s own settlement network already moves enormous daily volumes inside a permissioned environment the bank controls end to end.
Against that field, the XRP Ledger’s pitch is specific. It offers settlement built for payments from the start, with the institutional features, the MPT standard, permissioned trading, credentials, baked into the base layer instead of bolted on through smart contracts that have to be audited one project at a time.
The argument is that a purpose-built settlement ledger carries less risk surface than a general-purpose smart-contract chain, because there is less custom code between an institution and a completed trade. June 12 is Ripple making that argument in public with partners who could have run the same test anywhere.
This is why the names matter more than the speed. Five-second settlement is achievable on several chains.
What the XRP Ledger needed to prove was that firms like JPMorgan and Mastercard would choose it for a real institutional flow when they had every other option available. The test does not win the war.
It wins the right to be in the room for the next one, which for a chain competing against Ethereum’s incumbency is the harder thing to secure.
Following one tokenized Treasury through the flow Abstractions blur the stakes, so trace a single unit through the kind of cycle the test modeled.
Start with a short-dated United States Treasury bill sitting in a custodian’s account. Ondo, or an issuer like it, holds that bill and mints an on-chain token against it.
The token represents a claim on the bill and the yield it throws off. Call it one unit of a tokenized Treasury, and place it in the wallet of an institutional holder who wants short-term dollar yield without leaving the chain.
For weeks, the holder simply holds. The token accrues the bill’s yield.
When the holder decides to exit, the redemption begins. The holder submits the token back toward the issuer through the settlement arrangement that JPMorgan and Mastercard stand behind.
On the ledger, the asset leg and the cash leg are matched so they settle as one event. The token is retired.
A settlement currency, most likely RLUSD or a tokenized deposit, lands in the holder’s wallet in return. The fee for the ledger transactions is paid in XRP and burned.
If the chosen settlement currency differs from the currency the token was priced in, the ledger’s exchange can route through XRP as the bridge to complete the swap. Total elapsed time: around five seconds.
Compare that to the legacy path, where the same redemption would route through a transfer agent, wait for a settlement window, and clear across three to five business days while both sides carry risk. The end state is identical.
The holder is out of the Treasury and into cash. The path is what changed, and the path is the product.
Notice where XRP appeared in that walk. It paid the fee. It may have bridged the currencies. It backed the account reserves.
It was never the asset the holder set out to trade. That is the shape of XRP’s role in institutional settlement, and it explains why utility can climb for years while the token price moves sideways.
What institutions actually buy beyond the five seconds The speed grabs the headline, but settlement time is not the only thing an institution gains, and the other gains explain why firms keep running these tests even when the token economics do not concern them.
The first gain is capital efficiency. In the legacy model, the days between trade and settlement are days during which capital sits frozen, posted as margin or held in reserve against the risk that the other side fails to deliver.
Collapse settlement to seconds and that frozen capital comes free, available to be deployed elsewhere. For a large trading desk, the value of unlocking capital that used to sit idle for three days at a time runs into real money across a year of activity.
The second gain is around-the-clock operation. Traditional settlement runs on banking hours and business days, so a Friday trade waits through the weekend.
An on-chain ledger settles at any hour, which matters more every year as markets globalize and the line between trading days blurs. The third gain is collateral mobility.
A tokenized Treasury that settles instantly can be moved, pledged, or redeemed the moment it is needed, which lets the same asset work harder as collateral across more uses.
These are the reasons a JPMorgan or a Mastercard cares about the test, and none of them depend on XRP the token doing anything. The institution is buying a better settlement process.
XRP earns its small dues in the background. Keeping those two things separate is the key to reading any announcement like this one without mistaking institutional interest in the ledger for institutional demand for the token.
The first is clearly growing. The second has to be inferred from on-chain flow, and the inference is where most of the disappointment in XRP’s price history has come from.
That is why Ripple’s IPO and XRP holders is part of the same broader lesson. Ripple’s success, XRPL adoption, and XRP holder value are related, but they do not automatically collapse into the same thing.
Does settlement volume reach the price? This is the question every holder actually wants answered, and it deserves a straight treatment, not a number pulled from the air.
The bullish case runs through the indirect roles. If tokenized Treasuries and similar real-world assets move onto the XRP Ledger in size, transaction counts climb, fee burn climbs, reserves lock up more supply, and bridge routing pulls XRP into more flows.
Demand for the token then rises from use instead of from speculation, and demand that comes from use tends to be stickier. Ripple has framed exactly this flywheel in its institutional materials, and the logic holds on its own terms.
The sober case sits in the math. Fee burn on the XRP Ledger is deliberately tiny.
Even a large jump in institutional transactions removes a small fraction of supply against the tens of billions of XRP already in circulation and the monthly escrow releases that add to it. Bridge routing only pulls in XRP when a trade actually needs a currency conversion that the ledger chooses to route through XRP, and many institutional flows will settle stablecoin to stablecoin without ever touching the token.
Reserves lock supply but do not create buy pressure on their own. There is a supply side to weigh as well, and it cuts against the burn story in the near term.
Ripple releases up to one billion XRP from escrow at the start of each month, then re-locks most of it, but the net new supply that reaches the market still runs into the hundreds of millions of tokens monthly. For fee burn from institutional settlement to tighten supply in any meaningful way, the volume would have to grow large enough to offset that steady release, which is a high bar at current transaction levels.
A holder who pins hopes on burn alone is betting that on-chain activity climbs by orders of magnitude while the escrow schedule keeps running on its long-set path. That can happen over years. It does not happen because of one test.
The careful reading is that the June 12 test strengthens the long-term utility argument and does little for the short-term price argument. XRP spent most of 2026 trading near or below the one-dollar-and-change range while news exactly like this piled up, which is the market telling you that proofs of concept are priced as proofs of concept until volume follows.
A settlement test is a door opening. Walking through it at scale is a different event, and the token tends to wait for the second one.
What has to be true for this to matter For the June 12 result to move from interesting to important, a few things need to happen, and naming them gives a holder a watchlist instead of a hope.
Production volume has to follow the test. One redemption proves the plumbing.
Recurring institutional flow, measured in real daily value rather than pilot transactions, is what feeds the burn-and-bridge machinery. Regulatory clarity has to land, because the CLARITY Act and the broader United States market-structure framework decide how freely regulated institutions can settle tokenized assets on public ledgers.
Until the rules set, much of this activity stays in the test-and-pilot stage where the June 12 work lives. That is why CLARITY’s XRP classification question matters: the technology can be ready before the legal framework gives the rest of Wall Street permission to use it.
Competing venues have to be held off, since Ethereum, Solana, and a wave of bank-built private chains are chasing the same tokenized-asset settlement business, and the XRP Ledger has to keep winning the names that make compliance teams comfortable.
If those line up, the indirect demand argument gets a real chance to show up in on-chain data, and from there in price. If they stall, June 12 joins the long list of XRP headlines that read well and changed little.
The token has taught its holders that lesson more than once. That is also why institutional positioning in XRP matters as a separate signal: ETFs show who wants exposure, while settlement flows show whether utility is becoming demand.
Reading the signal without inflating it The clean takeaway is that Ripple, with JPMorgan, Mastercard, and Ondo alongside it, proved that a tokenized Treasury can be issued and redeemed on the XRP Ledger in seconds, with names that the institutional world takes seriously.
That is a meaningful step for the ledger as a settlement venue. For XRP the asset, it is a vote for the long-term utility thesis and a weak input to the near-term price, because the token sits in the fees, the reserves, and the bridge rather than at the center of the trade.
A holder who understands that distinction will not oversell the day and will not dismiss it either. The machinery that pays XRP its small, repeated dues got a high-profile workout.
Now the only thing that turns that into price is the boring part, which is volume that shows up and keeps showing up. Watch the on-chain flow, watch the rules, and let the token follow the usage instead of the logos.

Franklin Templeton announced tokenization of five exchange-traded funds through Ondo infrastructure. The initiative aligns with broader institutional experiments in asset digitization across traditional finance systems.
Market participants referenced increased coordination between asset managers and blockchain-based issuance frameworks, according to public announcements from involved entities.
Binance listed tokenized stock products tied to Ondo infrastructure on its regulated MTF in Abu Dhabi. The listing extends access to tokenized equities across compliant trading venues.
Market observers noted expanding distribution channels for blockchain-based financial instruments within regulated exchange environments.
Ondo has reportedly filed confidentially with the SEC to become a tokenized stock issuer subject to reporting requirements.
The ecosystem recorded $18 billion in cumulative trading volume and $1 billion in total value locked within eight months.
It also accounts for over 70 percent market share among tokenized equity issuers. ONDO Reporting continues under evolving regulatory review processes globally.
Onchain Transfers, Market Activity, and Infrastructure Flow AI account reporting indicated a multisig transfer of 150 million ONDO tokens to a monitored address, valued at $49.56 million. The address has received cumulative inflows of 425 million tokens since April.
Previous batches were reportedly moved into Coinbase wallets, though the final purpose remains unconfirmed.
ONDO traded near $0.31 with a 24-hour volume above $65 million as of this writing. The asset recorded a 6.57 percent daily decline and a 15.76 percent weekly drop.
Market activity showed reduced short-term momentum across major exchanges during the reported period, according to aggregated exchange data.

Web3Niels stated that tokenized stocks are flowing across applications via LI.FI infrastructure. Ethereum and BNB Chain remain active, while Solana integration is pending.
ONDO is part of expanding tokenized asset distribution across decentralized networks and regulated venues, according to public commentary.
Ondo [ONDO] continued trading inside a descending channel after its failed breakout near $0.39.
Since then, the altcoin has printed lower lows, falling to $0.3107. Even so, the Ondo Finance team carried out another monthly token transfer, drawing fresh attention from traders.
Why are traders watching these transfers? According to Arkham data, the team’s multisig wallet transferred 150 million ONDO tokens to a new address. The transfer was valued at $49.56 million.
Source: Arkham Previous transfers followed a similar pattern. Once moved, the tokens eventually landed on Coinbase.
Over recent weeks, the team has also deposited large ONDO batches into exchanges. A week ago, for example, the team’s wallet deposited 46.06 million tokens worth $16.78 million.
Those deposits came from an earlier transfer. As a result, traders may view the latest movement as a sign of possible future exchange inflows.
If these tokens reach exchanges while the altcoin remains weak, the added supply could weigh on price action.
Are investors still buying ONDO? Even so, demand has remained relatively strong. On the Spot market, ONDO recorded negative Netflows over the past seven days.
Source: CoinGlass More than $80 million worth of ONDO flowed out of exchanges during this period. Although inflows also reached $80 million, outflows slightly exceeded them. This resulted in Netflows of -$115,000.
Negative Netflows usually suggest investors are moving tokens away from exchanges. That can point to accumulation rather than immediate sell pressure.
On top of that, speculative activity also increased.
According to DefiLlama data, Perps Volume rose from $29 million to $77 million over three days.
Source: DefiLlama The rise suggested traders remained active despite the altcoin’s weak price action.
Together, Netflows and Perps Volume showed that interest in ONDO had not disappeared.
Can the trend reverse? Despite stronger participation, ONDO continued trading inside a descending channel. That kept the broader market structure weak.
In fact, the ADX-DI indicators showed strong downside momentum, while upside momentum remained subdued.
Source: TradingView This suggested sellers still controlled the trend.
If current conditions persist, the altcoin could lose the $0.30 support and drop toward $0.27. However, sustained demand could help stabilize price action.
For a stronger recovery, ONDO must reclaim and close above $0.36. This level previously acted as support.
Final Summary The Ondo Finance team transferred 150 million ONDO worth $49.56 million. The altcoin needs a close above $0.36 to improve its setup.
Ondo Tokenized Stocks has expanded the reach of tokenized US stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) through a new integration with LI.FI, allowing greater access to these assets on the blockchain. The integration is now live on both Ethereum and BNB Chain, with support for Solana expected to follow in later stages.
Wider reach for tokenized assetsWith this latest development, more than 438 tokenized US stocks and ETFs have become accessible via one of the most widely used cross-chain transaction infrastructures in the crypto sector. This move has broadened the audience for Ondo’s blockchain-based financial products, opening them up to a larger user base.
The integration allows users to access traditional market assets on-chain directly from their preferred crypto applications, without having to leave those platforms. This convenience is expected to further drive adoption and demand for tokenized securities among investors.
Direct access through the LI.FI ecosystemOver 1,000 partners within the LI.FI ecosystem now have direct access to tokenized products offered by Ondo Global Markets. Among the available assets are major US stocks such as Tesla, NVIDIA, and Apple, as well as widely followed ETFs like QQQ and SPY.
Glossary: An ETF is an exchange-traded fund that tracks an index or group of assets and is traded on stock exchanges. QQQ is one of the most well-known ETFs tracking the Nasdaq 100 index, while SPY tracks the S&P 500 index.
LI.FI serves as an execution infrastructure that facilitates both on-chain and cross-chain asset transfers. Rather than requiring users to select the technical route for their transactions, the system lets them define their desired outcome and relies on professional solution providers within the network to execute the process seamlessly.
With this integration, more than 438 tokenized US stocks and ETFs have become available to a wider user base through Ethereum and BNB Chain.
Transaction volume and custody structureAccording to the shared data, LI.FI has managed a trading volume exceeding $80 billion through more than 100 million transactions so far. The platform also provides its infrastructure services to several leading crypto exchanges and wallets in the industry.
Ondo Tokenized Stocks converts US securities into tokens that are fully backed by the underlying assets. These tokenized securities are held with one or more US-based brokerages and are subject to daily verification protocols. The platform also incorporates investor protection measures specifically designed for institutional participants.
Full backing of tokenized assets by the underlying securities and a daily verification process are highlighted as core structural features of the platform.
Impressive growth metricsAs of September 2025, the total value of tokens issued on the platform has surpassed $1 billion. The number of token holders has climbed into the tens of thousands, and the cumulative transaction volume has exceeded $20 billion.
The collaboration with LI.FI has increased the visibility of Ondo Tokenized Stocks in a variety of markets, underlining the continuing demand to bring financial assets onto the blockchain.

A peer-reviewed paper accepted to the 6th International Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain Conference (AIBC 2025) argues that idle consumer GPUs, exemplified by Nvidia’s RTX 4090, can meaningfully reduce the cost of running large language model inference when used alongside traditional datacenter hardware.
Titled Idle Consumer GPUs as a Complement to Enterprise Hardware for LLM Inference, the study from io.net is the first to publish open benchmarks of heterogeneous GPU clusters on the project’s decentralized cloud. The analysis compares clusters of consumer cards against datacenter-grade H100 accelerators and finds a clear cost-performance tradeoff that could reshape how organizations design their inference fleets.
According to the paper, clusters built from RTX 4090 GPUs can deliver between 62 and 78 percent of the throughput of H100s while operating at roughly half the cost. For batch workloads or latency-tolerant applications, token costs fall by as much as 75 percent. The researchers underscore that these savings are most compelling when developers can tolerate higher tail latencies or use consumer hardware for overflow and background tasks such as development, batch processing, embeddings generation and large-scale evaluation sweeps.
Aline Almeida, Head of Research at IOG Foundation and Lead Author of the study, said, “Our findings demonstrate that hybrid routing across enterprise and consumer GPUs offers a pragmatic balance between performance, cost and sustainability. Rather than a binary choice, heterogeneous infrastructure allows organizations to optimize for their specific latency and budget requirements while reducing carbon impact.”
Hybrid GPU Fleets The paper does not shy away from H100s’ strengths: Nvidia’s datacenter cards sustain sub-55 millisecond P99 time-to-first-token performance even at high load, a boundary that keeps them indispensable for real-time, latency-sensitive applications such as production chatbots and interactive agents. Consumer GPU clusters, by contrast, are better suited to traffic that can tolerate extended tail latencies; the authors point to a 200–500 ms P99 window as realistic for many research and dev/test workloads.
Energy and sustainability are also part of the calculus. While H100s remain roughly 3.1 times more energy-efficient per token, the study suggests that harnessing idle consumer GPUs can lower the embodied carbon footprint of compute by prolonging hardware lifetimes and leveraging grids that are rich in renewable generation. In short, a mixed fleet can be both cheaper and greener when deployed strategically.
Gaurav Sharma, CEO of io.net, said, “This peer-reviewed analysis validates the core thesis behind io.net: that the future of compute will be distributed, heterogeneous, and accessible. By harnessing both datacenter-grade and consumer hardware, we can democratize access to advanced AI infrastructure while making it more sustainable.”
Practical guidance from the paper is aimed squarely at MLOps teams and AI developers. The authors recommend using enterprise GPUs for real-time, low-latency routing while routing development, experimentation and bulk workloads to consumer clusters. They report an operational sweet spot in which four-card RTX 4090 configurations hit the best cost per million tokens, between $0.111 and $0.149, while delivering a substantial portion of H100 performance.
Beyond the benchmarks, the research reinforces io.net’s mission to expand compute by stitching together distributed GPUs into a programmable, on-demand pool. The company positions its stack, combining io.cloud’s programmable infrastructure with io.intelligence’s API toolkit, as a full solution for startups that need training, agent execution and large-scale inference without the capital intensity of buying solely datacenter hardware.
The full benchmarks and methodology are available on io.net’s GitHub repository for those who want to dig into the numbers and reproduce the experiments. The study adds an important, empirically grounded voice to the debate about how to scale LLM deployments affordably and sustainably in the years ahead.

PANews reported on December 11th that io.net, a decentralized AI computing and cloud platform, has released a simplified white paper (Litepaper) for its Incentive Dynamic Engine (IDE). IDE is a demand-driven token economic model for DePIN, replacing inflation-based token economic models. The white paper introduces a new token economic model designed specifically for io.net, relying on a unique dual-mode architecture to build a healthy and sustainable DePIN network—the Incentive Dynamic Engine (IDE).
Currently, there are 300 million IO tokens in circulation under the old incentive mechanism. One of IDE's goals is to gradually reduce at least 50% of these tokens to ensure a healthy and sustainable network. This white paper is part of an iterative process to gather community feedback. The initial feedback collection phase will begin on December 11, 2025, and end in February of the following year. The final lightweight white paper is planned for release on March 31, with implementation scheduled for the second quarter of 2026.
io.net, the decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) focused on AI compute, has proposed a major overhaul of its tokenomics with the launch of the Incentive Dynamic Engine (IDE), a demand-driven model designed to anchor long-term stability for suppliers, users and token holders. The redesign, presented this week in a litepaper and backed by a third-party report, moves io.net away from fixed token emissions and toward an automated system that adjusts emissions, buys back tokens and burns a material portion of revenue to reduce inflationary pressure.
The announcement comes after io.net’s initial inflationary incentives helped the network scale quickly: since launching in June last year, the platform says it has processed more than $20 million in verifiable compute leases, bootstrapping a global pool of GPUs and proving real usage demand. As the project transitions from a bootstrapping phase into a foundation for enterprise and research workloads, the team argues the old fixed-emissions model risks ongoing inflation and unstable supplier incomes, problems IDE aims to solve.
At its heart, IDE replaces a supply-driven rewards schedule with a real-time, demand-driven control system. The mechanism uses two counter-cyclical vaults and a “sustainability ratio” to automatically balance payouts and reserves: when revenue is strong the system keeps tokens in reserve and absorbs circulation, and when demand softens it can release tokens to stabilize USD-equivalent supplier payouts. That coupling of supply adjustments to actual compute usage, the litepaper explains, is intended to make supplier income predictable and the network resilient across market cycles.
From Bootstrap to Stability IDE also introduces a substantial, built-in deflationary mechanism. After suppliers are paid, at least 50 percent of the remaining revenue will be used to purchase $IO and permanently burn those tokens; the proposal targets removing 150 million or more $IO from circulation over time. The litepaper frames this not as a one-off stunt but as a structural shift: routing client fees into buybacks and burns aligns investor incentives with real utility rather than pure speculation.
The team behind io.net has made the proposal public for community review: a litepaper and supporting documentation are available on the project website, and an open feedback period runs through late February, after which the final design will be published ahead of a planned Q2 2026 rollout to the live network. The company says it has engaged independent auditors and economists to stress-test IDE and that a third-party report from CryptoEconLab (CEL) supports the framework’s core assumptions.
Gaurav Sharma, CEO of io.net, said: “We’re at a crucial juncture for AI: continue with centralised hyperscalers underpinned by obscure, circular finance, or build decentralised, open markets for compute. Blockchain can be the solution, but DePINs in their current form are not fit for purpose. IDE introduces a unique approach, one that enables enterprises to adopt decentralized compute by avoiding a fixed emissions model, and is the foundation for the long-term growth of io.net. GPU providers, users and investors will benefit from the first reliable and open compute network, accurately aligning incentives. Following its implementation next year, IDE will enable startups, researchers and enterprises to develop and deploy AI systems on io.net for the long term.”
If implemented as designed, the shift would be a notable experiment in DePIN tokenomics: instead of continual, schedule-based token issuance, io.net would operate a feedback-controlled economy in which emissions, burns and reserves respond to measurable network activity. The firm argues this model reduces income volatility for providers, rewards real world utility, and creates a more durable market for large-scale AI workloads, from startups to enterprise deployments.
The litepaper, IDE technical appendix and the community feedback form are linked from io.net’s tokenomics page for anyone who wants to dig into the math and governance considerations. io.net says it will actively review community comments through the consultation window, publish a final version at the end of March, and then move to implement the redesigned tokenomics in the second quarter of 2026.

NVIDIA has agreed to pay approximately $20 billion to acquire assets from artificial intelligence chip startup Groq, marking the company’s largest transaction on record and continuing its strategy of absorbing potential competitors before they can challenge its market dominance.
The chipmaker’s latest licensing deal mirrors a similar transaction just three months ago, reinforcing the narrative that decentralized AI infrastructure may offer the only alternative to Nvidia’s growing dominance.
Threefold Premium in Three Months with Trump Jr. ConnectionThe deal closed just three months after Groq raised $750 million at a $6.9 billion valuation—a round that included BlackRock, Samsung, Cisco, and 1789 Capital, where Donald Trump Jr. serves as a partner. Nvidia is acquiring all of the company’s assets substantially, except its cloud computing business, though Groq framed the transaction as a “non-exclusive licensing agreement.”
Groq CEO Jonathan Ross, a former Google engineer who helped create the search giant’s Tensor Processing Unit, will join Nvidia along with president Sunny Madra and other senior executives. The startup will continue operating independently under CFO Simon Edwards as its new chief executive.
A Repeating PlaybookThe Groq transaction follows a pattern Nvidia established just three months earlier. In September, the company paid over $900 million to hire Enfabrica’s CEO and employees while licensing the startup’s technology. Both deals use licensing structures rather than outright acquisitions, potentially avoiding the antitrust scrutiny that blocked Nvidia’s $40 billion bid for Arm Holdings in 2022.
The Kobeissi Letter summarized Nvidia’s approach bluntly: “We will buy you before you can compete with us.”
Technical Edge and Competitive PressureGroq’s Language Processing Unit uses on-chip SRAM rather than external DRAM, enabling what the company claims is up to 10x better energy efficiency. This architecture excels at real-time inference but limits model size—a tradeoff Nvidia can now explore within its broader ecosystem.
The timing is notable. Google recently unveiled its seventh-generation TPU, codenamed Ironwood, and released Gemini 3, trained entirely on TPUs, to top benchmark rankings. Nvidia responded on X: “We’re delighted by Google’s success… NVIDIA is a generation ahead of the industry—it’s the only platform that runs every AI model.” When incumbents start issuing such reassurance statements, competitive pressure is clearly mounting.
Implications for Decentralized AIWhile the deal has no direct impact on cryptocurrency markets, it reinforces the narrative driving decentralized AI computing projects. Platforms like io.net position themselves as alternatives to centralized AI infrastructure.
“People can put their own supply onto a network, whether that’s data centers or yourself with your laptop, contributing your available GPU power, and getting fairly compensated for it using tokenomics,” Jack Collier, io.net’s Chief Growth Officer, told BeInCrypto. The platform claims enterprise clients, including Leonardo.ai and UC Berkeley, have achieved significant cost savings.
However, the gap between narrative and reality remains wide. Nvidia’s acquisition of Groq’s low-latency technology further extends its technical lead, making it harder for any alternative to offer competitive performance.
The transaction also raises questions about independent AI chip development. Cerebras Systems, another Nvidia competitor preparing an IPO, may eventually face similar pressure. Whether it can remain independent or succumb to Nvidia’s financial gravity remains to be seen.
