According to Cointelegraph, Twenty One Capital, founded by Jack Mallers, currently holds 43,514 bitcoins, making it the second-largest publicly traded bitcoin treasury company, second only to Strategy's 762,099 bitcoins.The previously second-ranked mining company MARA has fallen to third place after selling 15,133 bitcoins (approximately $1 billion). Analysts point out that MARA increased its bitcoin holdings through debt during the bull market and is now forced to sell bitcoins at a loss to repay debts, which is exactly the scenario warned about by critics of debt-driven treasury strategies.This model sharply contrasts with Strategy's approach of viewing bitcoin as "perpetual digital credit" and continuously using bitcoin as collateral to finance acquisitions. Analysts believe this reflects the survival pressures faced by crypto treasuries and mining companies in a bear market environment.

According to the official blog, Plume Network's General Counsel Salman Banaei stated at a hearing held by the U.S. House Financial Services Committee that tokenized securities should not be viewed as a completely new asset class, nor should new rules or exemptions be created for them.He argued that regulation should be driven by the economic nature and risks of financial products, rather than the technology used, and thus should incorporate new technological realities into the existing regulatory framework through targeted amendments to current regulations.Salman pointed out that utilizing public blockchains and on-chain compliance tools (such as Plume's built-in protocol-level anti-money laundering screening) can significantly enhance market transparency, reduce costs, and decrease reliance on intermediaries while maintaining or even exceeding existing regulatory standards.Finally, Salman issued a warning: the competition for global tokenized infrastructure is accelerating, with regions like Hong Kong, Singapore, and the UAE actively positioning themselves. If the U.S. falls behind in regulation due to policy uncertainty, it risks losing its leadership position in the digital transformation of global capital markets, allowing this strategic opportunity to shift to foreign competitors with different geopolitical objectives.
