The post Dinari, tZERO target brokerages in push for tokenized stocks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Tokenization specialist Dinari and broker-dealer tZERO are working together to offer broker-dealers a turnkey platform for tokenized U.S. equities, as competition intensifies over how public stocks should move onto blockchain networks. The companies said Wednesday they will combine Dinari’s tokenized stock platform with tZERO’s brokerage, custody, clearing and settlement infrastructure, allowing financial firms to launch blockchain-based equity offerings without assembling the underlying market infrastructure themselves. “Tokenized equities won’t reach mainstream adoption until broker-dealers can offer them as naturally as they offer traditional securities,” Dinari CEO Gabriel Otte said in a statement. The move comes as tokenized equities emerge as the next battleground in real-world assets. After U.S. Treasury funds became the first institutional trend for tokenization, firms are

The post Ripple Prime cleared $3 trillion. How much of it actually touches XRP? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ripple’s prime brokerage sits inside the DTCC’s clearing directory, holds a seat in the 50-firm tokenization working group, and clears more than three trillion dollars a year. The XRP community reads that as quadrillions coming to the ledger. The mechanics say something much narrower. Here is the honest accounting of how much of Ripple Prime’s business reaches the token, and what would have to change for that number to grow.

The post BlackRock-Backed Securitize Tumbles 40% After SPAC Debut Despite Tokenization Boom appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The tokenization narrative suffered a sharp reality check this week. BlackRock-backed Securitize cratered 40% following its SPAC listing, according to the original report. The slide extends an uncomfortable pattern for digital asset companies testing public markets, even as the underlying technology they build on attracts record capital and institutional interest. Jeff Dorman of Arca summed up the mood simply: the decline fits a pattern of recently-public digital asset companies sliding after debut. It’s a theme that refuses to loosen its grip. From exchange operators to custody providers, the transition from private funding rounds to public stock tickers has often been brutal. Post-SPAC mechanics—redemption spikes, thin float, and skeptical equity analysts—tend to amplify the pain, leaving little room for the longer-term story to breathe. Securitize’s stumbl
