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.”

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.

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.

The fund targets sustainable, revenue-generating projects in DeFi, payments, AI-driven systems, and tokenized real-world assets.

Solayer’s SVM-powered layer-1 blockchain boasts a throughput of over 330,000 transactions per second and settlement finality of approximately 400 milliseconds.

The company said projects focused on tokenized U.S. Treasuries and AI-powered trading products are already in development.

Solayer, the SVM-powered layer-1 blockchain, has launched a $35 million ecosystem fund backed by Solayer Labs and the Solayer Foundation. According to the announcement, the fund will be used to support blockchain applications built on its infiniSVM network.

Solayer’s SVM-powered layer-1 blockchain boasts a throughput of over 330,000 transactions per second and settlement finality of approximately 400 milliseconds. The ecosystem fund primarily targets sustainable, revenue-generating projects in DeFi, payments, AI-driven systems, and tokenized real-world assets. The company said projects focused on tokenized U.S. Treasuries and AI-powered trading products are already in development.

“We’re solving for real-time behavior, immediate, guaranteed settlement, and low latency,” Joshua Sum, Solayer’s chief product officer, told CoinDesk. “Most blockchains still batch transactions, like legacy financial systems. We want to replace that with actual real-time clearing.”

The company plans to carefully curate qualifying projects based on performance indicators like durability, protocol revenue, and transaction volume, among others.

The announcement comes barely a month after the company announced the launch of the InfiniSVM Mainnet Alpha on December 11. Dubbed the “most performant SVM chain in existence,” the layer-1 blockchain is designed to power the next frontier of blockchain apps, which the company says won’t be static. “They will be reactive.”
