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.

According to Jinshi reports, Goldman Sachs' head of asset allocation research, Muller-Grissman, stated that the recent rise in U.S. stocks requires the Federal Reserve to restart interest rate cuts to maintain momentum. He described the stock market rebound as a "rapid and fierce recovery phase," partly driven by technical factors, including hedge funds being forced to rebuild positions. Although the S&P 500 is expected to rise more than 3% for three consecutive weeks, he questioned whether the upward trend is sustainable without monetary policy support.

According to official data, the $JST phased buyback and burn plan has cumulatively destroyed 1.35 billion tokens, accounting for 13.70% of the total supply, with a corresponding destruction value of approximately 60.03 million USD. This large-scale deflation has undergone three complete quarters and is a systematic project driven by real protocol revenue and executed transparently on-chain. With the successful conclusion of the third phase, which involved a single destruction of 271 million tokens, an automated closed loop supported by revenue for buybacks and triggered by buybacks for destruction continues to operate, injecting a certain internal deflationary force into the $JST economic model.

The native companion asset of Bitcoin, DMT-NAT (abbreviated as NAT), has now landed on the Spider Mining Pool. Miners can simultaneously receive NAT rewards while mining BTC in the same block, achieving dual earnings and ushering in an era of dual-layer rewards in the industry.It is reported that NAT shares computing power, blocks, and addresses with BTC, allowing for simultaneous production without additional operations. This asset is produced every 10 minutes in sync with Bitcoin blocks, with approximately 386 million NAT (currently valued at about 38 USD) produced per block, corresponding to a total market value of about 38 million USD. The output will gradually decrease with block height and mining difficulty, and the code is fully open source.When the single block reward reaches 50,000 USD (market value of 50 billion USD), it can cover part of the miners' costs, thereby enhancing the overall network's computing power. Against the backdrop of Bitcoin halving, it injects new momentum for Bitcoin miners.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit heard oral arguments from lawyers representing the prediction market platform Kalshi and Nevada authorities regarding Nevada's ban on the platform's event contracts. This appeal stems from a lower court ruling that prohibited Kalshi from offering certain event-based contracts in Nevada based on the claim that Kalshi requires a license.The appellate court judges responsible for Thursday's oral arguments and Kalshi's lawyers acknowledged that there have been several state-level enforcement actions against Kalshi and other prediction market platforms, including criminal charges filed in Arizona. However, a federal court last week blocked Arizona authorities from enforcing the state's gambling laws against Kalshi's event contracts."I believe existing case law does indicate that what we want to avoid here is state courts and federal courts simultaneously considering the exact same issue and potentially reaching different conclusions," said Colleen Sinzdak, representing Kalshi.The core argument of Kalshi's debate is that the platform's event contracts fall under "swap" transactions and should be regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, rather than state gambling regulators. CFTC Chairman Michael Selig supported this position in the case involving Crypto.com's prediction market and Nevada authorities.Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal predicted that this case may be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. "The questions in the oral arguments are not a reliable signal of the court's leanings; nonetheless, I stand by my long-standing prediction that the Supreme Court will rule on whether sports contracts on designated contract markets fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the CFTC as swap transactions."

According to market news, Circle has launched a new solution for high-frequency USDC payments across blockchains. Developers can use the Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) to have local fulfillers make advance payments on the recipient's designated chain, with the platform later completing cross-chain settlement.This model can reduce the operational burden caused by individual cross-chain transfers and is suitable for platforms that handle a large number of payments daily. Compared to the traditional CCTP process of destroying and minting USDC one by one, the new solution supports batch settlement, reduces the number of destructions on the source chain, and eliminates the need for signature infrastructure on the target chain. Circle also demonstrated the process based on the Arc Testnet and Ethereum Sepolia.
