MetaMask Integrates US Tokenized Securities in Partnership With Ondo Finance
Quick take:
Eligible users outside of the United States will be able to buy, hold, and trade the tokenized assets directly in the MetaMask mobile app.
The tokens track the market value of underlying securities such as Tesla, NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, as well as ETFs including SLV, IAU, and QQQ.
The platform supports trading 24 hours a day, five days a week, with token transfers remaining possible around the clock.
MetaMask, a leading non-custodial crypto wallet service provider, has integrated tokenized US securities trading into its platform. According to the report by The Block on Tuesday, the integration allows users access to more than 200 tokenized U.S. stocks, exchange-traded funds, and commodities.
The service is initially available to eligible users in non-U.S. jurisdictions. They will be able to buy, hold, and trade the tokenized assets directly in the MetaMask mobile app.
Like other tokenized US securities trading services, the tokens offered to MetaMask users for trading track the market value of underlying securities such as Tesla, NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, as well as ETFs including SLV (Silver), IAU (Gold), and QQQ.
The platform supports trading 24 hours a day, five days a week, with token transfers remaining possible around the clock.
“Bringing Ondo’s tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs directly into MetaMask shows what a better model looks like,” said Joe Lubin, founder and CEO of Consensys, in the statement. “A single, self-custodial wallet where people can move between crypto and traditional assets without intermediaries and without giving up control.”
The tokens are not registered under US securities laws, and do not confer ownership of the underlying assets, MetaMask emphasized. They are also restricted in certain jurisdictions, including the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, Canada, China, Russia, and numerous other countries.
“The launch reflects a broader shift in market infrastructure, as tokenization is increasingly being deployed at scale, moving beyond early use cases toward broader distribution,” MetaMask said in the press release.

Vitalik Buterin Commits $45M in ETH Towards Open-Source Security and Privacy Tech
Quick take:
The ETH, which is worth roughly $45 million currently, will be deployed over the next few years.
Buterin said he is also exploring secure decentralized staking options that will allow even more capital from staking rewards to go towards open-source security and privacy tech.
The Ethereum Foundation will also continue to develop Ethereum, with the same goal in mind.
Vitalik Buterin has unveiled plans to put 16,384 ETH, roughly $45 million, towards open-source security and privacy tech. The funds will come from Vitalik’s personal holdings to outline his personal financial commitment to fund technologies he views as essential to the blockchain’s long-term mission.
According to Vitalik’s post on the X platform, the funds will be deployed over the next few years. He also plans to explore secure decentralized staking options that will allow even more capital from staking rewards to go towards open-source security and privacy tech.
“Ethereum everywhere” is nice, but the primary priority is “Ethereum for people who need it,” Vitalik wrote. “Not corposlop, but self-sovereignty, and the baseline infrastructure that enables cooperation without domination.”
The Ethereum Foundation will also continue to develop Ethereum, with the same goal in mind.
Vitalik, who believes more technology would be involve is certain that the technical layer is something that “we are in control of”. His goal is for project builders and their communities to be able to enjoy the autonomy and safety as a basic right that belongs to everyone.
“Open not in a bullshit ‘open means everyone has the right to buy it from us and use our API for $200/month’ way, but actually open, and secure and verifiable so that you know that your technology is working for you,” he said.

Sodot Rolls Out Exchange API Vault to Enable Secure Automated Trading
Quick take:
The Exchange API Vault employs the same enterprise-grade security best practices for securing private keys, but adjusts them to facilitate seamless, low-latency trading and automated liquidity operations.
The API Key management tool also comes with integrated runtime remediation as a kill switch to shut out hackers in the event keys are compromised, and is fully auditable in real time.
Some of the crypto platforms already using the Exchange API Vault include leading market making platform, Flow Traders, eToro, Exodus, Flowdeesk, and Raise, among others.
Sodot, a crypto key management company specializing in self-hosted MPC and TEE products, has rolled out the Exchange API Vault, an enterprise-grade key management solution designed to be integrated with CEX trading infrastructure and secure billions of dollars in digital assets.
The new API key management solution seeks to address the challenges of securely managing API keys used in crypto. Its full rollout comes amid rising cases of off-chain attacks leading to on-chain loss of funds, with the latest examples being Bybit (Safe), Swissborg (Kiln), and Dimo. Bybit’s hack saw attackers from North Korea steal about 400,000 ETH, equivalent to about $1.46 billionat the time.
Attackers have been taking advantage of some key weaknesses in the industry, including fragmentation. With institutional firms operating across multiple exchanges, venues, and vendors, they are forced to rely on hundreds of API keys used continuously by multiple automated systems. This exposes them to the risks associated with the fragmented nature of the industry.
Sodot seeks to address this challenge by employing the same enterprise-grade security best practices for securing private keys, but also adjusting them to facilitate seamless, low-latency trading and automated liquidity operations.
The company’s comprehensive solution for key management enables asset managers and market makers to orchestrate their crypto keys at the scale needed to support high-volume and low-latency trading.
The Exchange API Vault has also integrated runtime remediation as a kill switch to shut out hackers in the event keys are compromised, and is fully auditable in real time.
Some of the crypto platforms already using the Exchange API Vault include leading market making platform, Flow Traders, eToro, Exodus, Flowdeesk, and Raise, among others.
Commenting on the announcement, Laszlo Fodor, Head of Digital Assets Technology at Flow Traders, said in a statement: “Solutions like Sodot’s Exchange API Vault contribute to the trust across the digital asset ecosystem, which is an important driver for broader adoption and its underlying technological innovation. We are actively leveraging and supporting such solutions to continue to advance capital markets.”
Ido Sofer, CEO of Sodot, commented: “Flow Traders sets a high bar for how modern trading teams should operate. We’re proud to support that standard with our infrastructure products, and contribute to their important mission of driving efficiency and innovation across global financial markets.”

Escape Velocity Launches $62M Fund for DePIN Projects in Solar Energy, Telescopes, and More
Quick take:
Fund of funds, Cendana, was the biggest investor in the raise, with $15 million, according to a report by Fortune.
This is cofounders Salvador Gala and Mahesh Ramakrishnan’s second fund, and at $61.74 million, it is more than triple the size of their first fund.
The growth-oriented venture firm plans to use the capital to accelerate decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) projects focused on telescopes, solar energy, and more.
Escape Velocity, a growth-oriented crypto venture firm, has raised $61.74 million for its second fund. The fund closed in December and attracted some of the marquee crypto investors, including the likes of A16z’s Marc Andreessen and Micky Malka of Ribbit Capital.
According to the report by Fortune, Fund of funds, Cendana, was the biggest investor in the raise, with $15 million.
The new fund is more than triple the size of Escape Velocity’s first fund of $20 million, announced in 2022, which attracted participation from the founders of Andreessen Horowitz, Multicoin, and Framework Ventures.
The firm’s activity in DePINs since its first fund has seen it invest in projects like the solar energy startups Daylight and Glow.
Although DePIN was popular when it first emerged as a major vector in crypto, it has since fizzled significantly, partially affected by the crypto bear market and the shift towards AI from the venture capital perspective.
However, Escape Velocity’s Ramakrishnan, who is one of the biggest staunch supporters of the segment, believes the future remains bright, telling Fortune that it’s only a matter of time before one of the main players breaks into the mainstream.
“A lot of what you’ve seen in the last three years are DePIN projects that have launched tokens before they have anything—they’re launching tokens on the basis of hype and on the basis of an idea,” he said.
According to information on its website, Escape Velocity is also looking to back startups in AI and Advanced Analytics, Health and Life Sciences, Advanced Manufacturing and Materials, Supply Chain and Logistics, and Fintech and Insuretech, among others.

Robinhood to Introduce DeFi Access, Lending, and Staking Features in the Coming Months
Quick take:
Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev cited the current SEC leadership’s willingness to embrace innovation and facilitate experimentation with tokenization as a major boost to its plans.
He also thinks that the CLARITY Act, a crypto legislation currently in Congress, will play a crucial part in ensuring future SEC administrations continue the same path and write modern rules for embracing tokenized equities.
According to Tenev, legislation would also ensure that subsequent commissions cannot abandon or reverse the progress achieved by this SEC.
Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev has unveiled the company’s plans for tokenizing U.S. securities in the coming months. The online trading platform has already rolled out more than 2,000 tokens representing U.S.-listed stocks to EU investors, but is now adding more features to enhance the trading experience.
“In the coming months, we’re planning to unlock 24/7 trading and DeFi access, which will allow investors to self-custody their stock tokens, with possibilities for lending, staking, and more,” said Tenev.
According to the post shared on the X platform, Tenev believes the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) will continue to play a pivotal role in bringing tokenized stocks to retail investors.
Highlighting the progress made with major U.S. exchanges and clearinghouses announcing plans to tokenize equities, Tenev said it is inevitable that the US embraces the technology.
However, regulation will be key to implementing the plans.
“Without regulatory clarity, such efforts are moot. Fortunately, we now have a timely opportunity,” he said. According to Tenev, the current SEC leadership’s willingness to embrace innovation and facilitate experimentation with tokenization is a major boost to its plans.
This progressive legislation is expected to continue into the foreseeable future, with the CLARITY Act at the heart of it. The CLARITY Act ensures future SEC administrations continue the same path and write modern rules for embracing tokenized equities.
The legislation will also ensure that subsequent commissions cannot abandon or reverse the progress achieved by this SEC.
Tokenized U.S. securities became a buzzword during 2025, with major crypto exchange platforms like Kraken, Gemini, and Bitrue rolling out tokenized stocks and ETFs. However, trading volumes are yet to peak compared to other assets like traditional cryptocurrencies and popular altcoins.

RWA Tokenization Protocol Tenbin Raises $7M Led By Galaxy Digital
Quick take:
Tenbin plans to use the funding to build its “next-gen” tokenized asset infrastructure by making on-chain assets faster, more liquid, and “more capable than their off-chain counterparts.”
Some of the assets it seeks to bring on-chain include gold, FX, and commodities.
The announcement comes as the value of tokenized real-world assets excluding stablecoins topped $33 billion in 2025.
Tenbin, a real-world asset tokenization platform looking to bring capital markets on-chain, has raised $7 million in a funding round led by Galaxy Digital. The fundraising also attracted participation from Wintermute Ventures, FalconX, GSR, Nascent, Variant, Archetype, Bankless Ventures, among others.
According to the press release seen by NFtgators, Tenbin is building a “next-generation” tokenized asset infrastructure by making on-chain assets faster, more liquid, and “more capable than their off-chain counterparts.”
Some of the assets earmarked to debut on the platform first include gold, FX, and commodities.
Although there are several platforms focused on tokenizing real-world assets, Tenbin believes most tokenized assets are structurally inferior to their off-chain equivalents, with limited utility and scalability.
“Today’s tokenization models wrap assets without rebuilding the market infrastructure that gives these assets utility,” Tenbin wrote in a press release seen by NFTgators. “As a result, tokenized gold, FX, and commodities often trade with shallow liquidity, delayed settlement times, and on-chain price distortions that limit their usefulness as collateral or store-of-value. Tenbin was launched to solve this.”
“What impressed us about Tenbin is their approach. They’re not wrapping assets, they’re rebuilding the entire issuance and liquidity stack for on-chain markets. We believe Tenbin will play a foundational role in the evolution of on-chain capital markets,” said Will Nuelle, General Partner of Galaxy Ventures.

Crypto Security Company Ledger Targets $4 Billion IPO in US Listing
Quick take:
People familiar with the matter cautioned that the plans could still change, according to the Financial Times.
Ledger offers cold wallet storage devices, enabling crypto users to store private keys off-chain.
Founded in 2014 in Paris, Ledger was valued at $1.5 billion in 2023 after raising funds from the likes of Singapore’s True Global Ventures and 10T Holdings.
Cryptocurrency security company Ledger, the developers of the popular cold storage crypto wallet by the same name, is reportedly going public in an IPO that could value it at more than $4 billion.
According to the report by the Financial Times, the French cryptocurrency company is reportedly already working with bankers from bankers at Goldman Sachs, Jefferies, and Barclays on the deal, which could happen as early as this year. However, people familiar with the matter have cautioned that the plans could still change.
Founded in 2014 in Paris, the company was valued at $1.5 billion in 2023 after raising funds from the likes of Singapore’s True Global Ventures and 10T Holdings.
Ledger is renowned for its cold wallet storage devices, which enable crypto users to store private keys (a set of unique, secret, alphanumeric codes, often represented as 12-24 word seed phrases) off-chain.
The report comes just a day after crypto custody services and infrastructure company BitGo raised $213 million in an IPO at a valuation of $2 billion.
Cryptocurrency companies have, over the past year, expanded their fundraising strategies to include public listing in US stock markets, with the success stories of the likes of eToro, Circle Internet Group, Gemini, and Figure Technology Solutions among those that made headlines last year.
However, activity slowed in the fourth quarter of 2025, amid a bearish crypto market, before BitGo’s 2026 curtain-raiser.
