The SEC released a document (34-105260) disclosing the rule change application submitted by the NYSE, intending to formally introduce a framework for trading tokenized securities.According to the proposal, the NYSE plans to add Rule 7.5, allowing eligible securities to be traded and settled in a blockchain-based tokenized form in addition to traditional forms. The relevant arrangements will operate under the DTC pilot program. The core mechanisms include: tokenized securities and traditional stocks will share the same trading code (CUSIP) and rights structure, and will be fully interchangeable; in the matching system, tokenized and traditional securities will have the same execution priority, and the order of transactions will not be affected by the different forms; trading participants can choose to settle and clear in an on-chain form through a tokenization flag, with specific processing carried out by custodians. Additionally, the NYSE also plans to simultaneously modify order sorting, routing, and clearing rules to accommodate the trading process of tokenized securities, ensuring seamless integration with the existing market structure.From a market perspective, this proposal signifies that traditional U.S. securities exchanges are officially exploring the introduction of blockchain technology into the core trading and settlement systems. If approved, it could become an important milestone for on-chain securities entering mainstream financial infrastructure.

The Web3 asset data platform RootData has outlined 78 business partners of Anchorage, including over 30 DeFi protocols, more than 20 blockchain infrastructure projects, as well as various stablecoins and payment settlement networks, covering the complete path from asset issuance to on-chain operations.Represented by institutions like BlackRock, products such as ETFs bring funds into the crypto market, after which Anchorage assumes custody and compliance responsibilities. These assets are then deployed on-chain, participating in liquidity operations and yield generation through DeFi protocols, stablecoin systems, and infrastructure networks. Ultimately, they flow back into the traditional financial system through OTC, trading, and clearing paths.In this process, Anchorage's role is not just "custody," but a key node throughout the entire lifecycle of funds, with its upstream and downstream including crypto-native institutions such as A16z, Blockchain Capital, Electric Capital, and Defiance, as well as DeFi protocols, L1/L2 networks, stablecoins, and clearing and settlement systems, along with fintech companies like AngelList and Series Financial, as well as payment companies and core banking systems.Anchorage's partner strategy emphasizes "key path coverage," ensuring that funds have corresponding infrastructure at every stage. As compliant entry points like ETFs gradually open up, the crypto market shifts towards asset allocation-driven strategies, and bridge-type institutions like Anchorage are moving from the background to the core.

According to The Block, CryptoQuant's research director Julio Moreno stated on Wednesday that Bitcoin's recent rally is facing an increasing risk of profit-taking, with multiple on-chain indicators showing that selling pressure is strengthening. Currently, the price of Bitcoin has slightly retreated but is testing the on-chain "realized price" of $76,800 for traders. This level is seen as a significant bearish resistance, historically often limiting the rebound space, as holders close to breaking even are more inclined to sell for profit, thereby suppressing further increases.Moreno pointed out, "This price range precisely capped the price increase during the bear market rebound in January 2026 and reversed downward after reaching that level. If the current selling pressure continues to strengthen, a similar trend may occur again." He added that if the resistance level holds, approximately $67,600 below will become the main short-term support. The report also noted that the proportion of large trades has rapidly increased from less than 10% to over 40%, and historically, this level usually corresponds to strong short-term selling pressure. Profit-taking has not yet peaked. Currently, the daily realized profit is about $500 million, below the $1 billion threshold that historically marks significant sell-off peaks.Finally, Moreno stated that if Bitcoin remains above $76,000, or even approaches the realized price level of $76,800, the daily realized profit could accelerate to over $1 billion, thereby increasing selling pressure and raising the likelihood of a temporary top or correction in the market.

The open interest (OI) of the HIP-3 market on Hyperliquid reached a peak of approximately $2.38 billion and currently remains at a high of around $2.1 billion, reflecting a growth of about 580% year-to-date. This growth is primarily driven by "non-crypto assets."Among the top ten markets by trading volume on the platform, only three are crypto trading pairs, while the rest consist of tokenized stocks and commodities, including the Nasdaq index, S&P 500, crude oil, gold, and silver. Analysis indicates that the core driving force comes from the demand for "24/7 trading of traditional assets." Unlike traditional markets that are limited by trading hours, HIP-3 enables investors to trade stock and commodity exposure around the clock through on-chain settlement and a non-intermediary structure. Additionally, TradeXYZ accounts for over 90% of the open interest in HIP-3, becoming the main source of liquidity in this sector.

According to market news, trader 0x049b has opened a new position with 20x leverage, buying 269 BTC (approximately $19.92 million) and 8,586 ETH (approximately $19.92 million).

According to Cointelegraph, Hyperliquid's native token HYPE retested $45 on Tuesday, marking the highest level since October 31, 2025. This rebound has accumulated a 108% increase from the annual low of $21 on January 21. However, market signals are mixed: spot buying is weak, and the cumulative volume delta (CVD) for spot has dropped to -41.48 million, diverging from the price increase, indicating that the rise is mainly supported by passive demand rather than aggressive spot buying.Futures sentiment is cautious, with the futures CVD remaining flat at around -748 million for nearly a month. Although open interest (OI) has risen to 1.38 billion, the weak futures CVD suggests that traders lack confidence in chasing the price up. Additionally, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes predicts that if Hyperliquid continues to capture market share from centralized exchanges, HYPE could rise 200% to $150 by August this year. Currently, HYPE is priced at $43.5, which is 27% lower than its historical high of $59. Analysts warn that if bullish momentum fades, the market may be more susceptible to sharp volatility driven by liquidations.
