According to CoinDesk, the French Lightning Securities Exchange (Lise) plans to list aerospace parts supplier ST Group on its platform, which is expected to become Europe's first fully on-chain initial public offering (IPO).Lise was authorized last year under the EU's Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) Pilot Regime and is the first institution in Europe approved to operate a fully tokenized equity exchange. Headquartered in Paris, it has the support of French financial institutions such as BNP Paribas, CACEIS (a subsidiary of the Agricultural Credit Group), and Bpifrance. ST Group primarily produces composite material components for aerospace, defense, and space projects, with potential project revenues estimated at around €59 million (approximately $68 million) over the next decade.Lise aims to provide a lower-cost and more efficient listing path for small and medium-sized enterprises, replacing the lengthy and expensive IPO process in traditional capital markets. Tokenization technology enables faster trade settlement and more efficient ownership tracking, and Nasdaq and NYSE have previously disclosed plans for tokenized securities trading.

The latest research from blockchain data firm Glassnode shows that Hyperliquid's 24 validation nodes are concentrated in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Tokyo region, giving traders near Tokyo a significant latency advantage.Tokyo users can reach the validation nodes in just 2 to 3 milliseconds, while European users experience delays of over 200 milliseconds. Using AWS Tokyo as a benchmark, the median round-trip time for orders is about 884 milliseconds; from Virginia, USA, it takes about 1,079 milliseconds, a difference of about 200 milliseconds.In a time-sequenced matching mechanism, geographic location directly determines queue priority, affecting price spreads and transaction probabilities. Major exchanges like Binance and KuCoin also deploy their core infrastructure in the same AWS region, making Tokyo the de facto hub for crypto trading in Asia. The research points out that, unlike traditional financial markets, decentralized finance currently lacks corresponding mechanisms to balance geographic advantages, and a latency arms race is quietly taking shape.

ChainCatcher message, Formula News founder Vida tweeted that by querying the historical order book of Binance's spot market, it was found that ATOMUSDT briefly touched $0.001 within 8 milliseconds from 2025-10-11 05:20:37.689 to 05:20:37.697. At that time, all market makers had exited, and there were no buyers to take the sell orders, causing the price to drop instantly. The price quickly rebounded within the following milliseconds. The price did indeed appear on Binance's spot market, but it will not affect the liquidation price of contracts, as the contract's mark price is calculated using a sliding average over several minutes, so the contract price did not drop to $0.001.
