Tokenized equities on Solana have reached a record $684 million, up 47% in only three weeks.
That growth puts more attention on $SOL as blockchain infrastructure for bringing traditional stocks onto on-chain markets, with tokenized equities offering features such as extended trading hours, faster settlement and easier global access.
Solana has already seen strong growth in tokenized-equity activity, while major financial platforms are also moving deeper into the sector.
The interesting part is the fast pace of traditional finance moving toward blockchain rails. Nasdaq recently announced a $100 million investment in Kraken’s parent company to support tokenized-equity infrastructure, while the London Stock Exchange is also preparing tokenized UK shares.
Solana’s $684 million record adds another data point to a broader shift where stocks, funds and other real-world assets are becoming programmable on-chain markets.
The sector still faces regulatory and investor-protection questions, but the growth in supply shows that tokenized equities are becoming a serious part of the blockchain market structure.
Bitwise is set to close its $DOGE ETF BWOW, with trading on the NYSE scheduled to end on October 14, 2026.
The fund is then expected to liquidate on October 22, less than a year after it began trading in November 2025.
With a short track record in the U.S., the Dogecoin ETF adds another data point to the growing market for crypto investment products beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
BWOW launched with a 0.34% management fee, giving investors regulated exchange access to DOGE through a traditional market structure.
Researchers have reduced the amount of quantum computing power theoretically needed to attack $BTC and $ETH core cryptography.
A new study puts the requirement at 835 logical qubits for the secp256k1 curve used in their wallet signatures, down from earlier estimates above 1,100.
This does not mean Bitcoin or Ethereum can be hacked with quantum computers today. Current machines are still far from the required capability, and the attack would also need a huge number of quantum operations.
The key point is that researchers are making these attacks more efficient, giving blockchain developers more reason to prepare for post-quantum security before the technology becomes powerful enough to create a real threat.

Bitcoin’s recovery is now approaching an important support area around $72K to $73K.
Recent market analysis places the zone near major technical and cost-basis levels, making it an area worth watching if $BTC continues to pull back from the $80K region.
Bitcoin has already recovered strongly from its lows and recently pushed above several key moving averages, keeping the broader recovery structure in play.
A move below $72K to $73K would put more pressure on the recovery and could open the door toward the lower $70Ks or even the mid-$60Ks if selling accelerates.
Holding this area would give buyers a stronger base to defend while Bitcoin attempts to reclaim the $80K to $83K resistance range.
For now, the $72K to $73K zone remains one of the clearest levels to watch for the next major move.

Pump(.)Fun is expanding beyond the usual SOL and USDC markets with its new Custom Pairs feature.
Now, the platform allows creators to launch tokens paired with tokenized stocks, major crypto assets and other assets.
Pump(.)fun says the expansion brings 93 supported pairs across its xStocks and Sunrise integrations, including names such as Apple, Nvidia, Tesla, IBM, Coinbase and other major equities.
They also plans to direct 50% of revenue from Custom Pairs toward $PUMP buybacks and burns, adding a direct connection between the new trading activity and the PUMP token.
$BNB Chain is taking the lead in Real World Asset adoption by holder count, with around 1.41M RWA holders, followed by Robinhood at 1.15M and Solana at 451K.
Current RWA data also places BNB Chain at about $5.62B in distributed RWA value across roughly 1,300 assets.
RWA adoption is expanding beyond simple tokenization, with treasuries, funds and tokenized equities gaining activity across major networks.
BNB Chain’s growing holder base and multi-billion-dollar RWA value put it among the key networks to watch as more traditional assets move onchain.
$USELESS is quickly becoming one of the memecoins attracting serious attention on Solana.
Listings on Upbit and Bithumb have increased the token’s reach, while Hyperliquid has added perpetuals with leverage of up to 3x.
Bithumb’s KRW listing and Upbit’s new trading support also bring USELESS deeper into the South Korean market.
The current setup is worth watching due to the combination of exchange exposure, rising volume and growing attention from crypto traders.
One notable comparison gaining traction is its similarity to PEPE before its 2023 breakout, particularly around early strength, volume structure and expanding open interest.
Remember, that doesn't guarantee same outcome but it explains why USELESS keeps appearing on more timelines as the memecoin market looks for its next major narrative.
The stock-linked memecoin narrative is getting more interesting as crypto projects find new ways to connect meme culture with traditional market themes.
Artificial Inu for example has built its identity around NVIDIA, with its token trading against a tokenized NVDA asset and a community vault that accumulates stock tokens through trading activity.
That same narrative is now appearing around $ASHIBA or Artificial Shiba, which combines the Shiba meme with the NVIDIA/AI story.
Current on-chain data shows an ASHIBA/NVDA market on Pons, with the project describing a model where 95% of accumulated fees go to eligible holders and 5% is used for buybacks and burns.
The token is still very early, with liquidity and market size far below established memecoins, so the setup comes with significant risk.
ASHIBA is already listed on Gateio Alpha and CoinMarketCap, giving the token wider visibility and making it easier for traders to discover and track.
Bitcoin ownership continues to grow, with about 371 million people worldwide now estimated to hold Bitcoin, according to the 2026 Crypto Wealth Report.
That means almost half of the estimated 742 million crypto users globally have exposure to $BTC.
Another interesting point is that Bitcoin ownership keeps expanding across both regular users and wealthy investors.
The report estimates around 92,272 Bitcoin millionaires, showing how widely BTC has spread as a digital asset.
A growing number of holders also means more people are choosing to keep Bitcoin as part of their long-term financial strategy.

Hyper Foundation holds about 48.8% of all staked $HYPE, making it the largest single staking position in crypto.
With hundreds of millions of HYPE staked, the Foundation has a major role in helping secure and support the Hyperliquid network.
For HYPE holders, the main thing to watch is how this stake is managed over time.
A large stake can support network stability, but such a high concentration also means changes in the Foundation’s staking activity could have a noticeable impact on the network.
As Hyperliquid grows, the distribution of staked HYPE will be an important metric to follow.
Bitcoin short-term whales are sitting on a record $9.07 billion in unrealized profits, according to CryptoQuant.
Such a large profit level means many recent buyers have a strong reason to take some gains, which could increase selling pressure if Bitcoin starts to weaken.
Bitcoin’s short-term holder cost basis is around $71,000, making that level important to watch.
$BTC holding above key support could keep the market stable, while rising whale deposits to exchanges and falling profits could signal more selling ahead.
For now, the focus is on whether whales continue holding or start taking profits.

Capital B has added 376 $BTC for about $29.4 million, bringing its total Bitcoin treasury to 3,521 BTC.
The purchase was made at roughly €67,182 per bitcoin and is the company’s largest Bitcoin acquisition since September 2025.
Capital B funded the move through recent capital raises totaling about €30.1 million, including investment from Bitcoin developer Adam Back and institutional investor TOBAM.
With 3,521 BTC now on its balance sheet, Capital B has moved further up the rankings of publicly traded Bitcoin holders and is closing the gap with other major corporate treasuries.
Its total Bitcoin acquisition cost stands at about €309.4 million, with an average cost of €87,878 per BTC.
Capital B also reported a 2.17% BTC Yield year-to-date, indicating how the company is measuring its strategy through Bitcoin held per fully diluted share.

According to CryptoRank, the number of wallets holding tokenized stocks doubled in August, rising from about 1 million to 2 million.
Robinhood Chain, $BNB Chain and $SOL Chain captured roughly 95% of those holders, putting these three networks at the center of the growing market for bringing traditional equities onto blockchain rails.
Weekly spot volume approached $3 billion in early August, while the value locked in tokenized stocks passed $110 million by late August.
Robinhood Chain has also expanded its tokenized-stock offering, while Solana and BNB continue to host major tokenized-equity activity.
Bitwise data shows $BTC correlation with Gold has reached its highest level in nearly six years, while its correlation with the Nasdaq has fallen to a one-year low.
Recent market moves also showed Bitcoin rising while stocks weakened and gold gained.
This shift gives Bitcoin a stronger “digital gold” narrative. Traders will be watching whether this relationship continues, especially as markets deal with inflation, interest rates and currency concerns.
Correlations can change quickly, but the current data puts Bitcoin and gold on an interesting path together.

Retail crypto access is moving deeper into traditional brokerage platforms.
Charles Schwab has announced plans to add $SOL, AVAX and $LINK to its Schwab Crypto platform in the coming months, expanding beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Schwab began rolling out direct crypto trading in May 2026 and has nearly 40 million active brokerage accounts, giving these assets access to a much larger pool of mainstream investors.
E*TRADE from Morgan Stanley has also entered spot crypto trading with Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana, adding another major brokerage channel for digital assets.
Together, these moves point to a broader shift: crypto is becoming easier to access through platforms investors already use for stocks, ETFs and other traditional assets.
For altcoins such as SOL, AVAX and LINK, getting listed on major brokerages could expand liquidity and visibility as more traditional investors gain direct access.
Fun fact: 15 years ago today, Bitcoin closed at about $7.97, just around the $8 level.
Back then, Bitcoin was still a small experiment with limited adoption and very little mainstream attention. Today, $BTC is trading around $79,000, putting its long-term price growth into perspective.
From single-digit prices and early exchange activity to a global market followed by institutions, ETFs and major financial companies, Bitcoin has gone through a major transformation.
Fifteen years of price history also shows why long-term adoption and network growth remain important metrics to watch alongside daily price movements.

$BTC Digital (BTCT) has cleared an important Nasdaq listing hurdle after keeping its closing bid price at $1 or higher for 10 consecutive trading days.
Nasdaq confirmed on September 3 that the company had regained compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2), closing the previous deficiency case.
This came ahead of BTC Digital’s February 23, 2027 deadline, giving the company a much earlier resolution to the issue.
BTC Digital received the original deficiency notice on August 27 after its shares had remained below $1 for 30 consecutive business days.
The company operates across Bitcoin mining, mining-farm construction, data centers and AI computing infrastructure, so keeping its Nasdaq listing in good standing remains an important part of its broader business plans.
