In short
Crypto markets rallied alongside a surge in tokenization-linked assets following an SEC conditional exemption permitting tokenized stocks to trade onchain.
The piece
• Bitcoin gained 5.8% to touch $81,000, while NEAR Protocol, Starknet, and Arbitrum surged between 26% and 32%.
• The SEC issued a five-year conditional exemption allowing Tokenized Securities Venues to trade up to 75 Tier 1 symbols under specific volume and shareholder parity rules.
• Decoupling from crypto, the S&P 500 dipped 0.1% while the 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 4.99%.
• The Bank of Japan independently raised its overnight call rate guideline to around 1.25% in a 7-2 vote.
Why it matters
Regulatory clarity from the SEC regarding onchain trading of traditional equities is fueling rapid capital rotation into DeFi protocols and tokenization-focused layer-1 and layer-2 networks.
