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 LINK Price Prediction: Bears Own the Chart Until LINK Reclaims $7.90 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. James Ding Jul 08, 2026 08:36 Chainlink is bleeding with a 4% daily drop, sitting at $7.59 below every major moving average with momentum fully exhausted — the $7.43 support is the last line before a flush toward $7.28, but a c… The Immediate Setup Four percent down in a single session, and LINK closed within a penny of its daily low at $7.58. That’s not consolidation — that’s distribution. At $7.59, Chainlink is trading below every meaningful moving average on the board: below the 7-day SMA at $7.90, the 20-day at $7.65, the 50-day at $8.19, and deeply underwater against the 200-day SMA parked at $9.65.

Momentum has gone flat in the worst possible wa

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. Summary Ripple Prime clears more than $3 trillion in annual trades, but only a small portion of that activity currently creates direct demand for XRP. Most institutional settlement within Ripple’s ecosystem now relies on the RLUSD stablecoin, while XRP’s role remains largely limited to fees and internal collateral. Ripple’s position in the DTCC tokenization working group could expand XRP’s future use, but broader adoption depends on third party colla
