Executive scan
Today in crypto centered on recovery, liquidity and scrutiny. Bitcoin moved back above $80,000 for the first time since the Binance hack, according to CryptoSlate, even as Riot Platforms and Hut 8 disclosed large BTC sales in third-quarter reports. Security coverage stayed heavy, with Aave and Lido tied to a reported $1.7 billion DeFi capital drop after the breach.
Institutional and tokenization stories kept pace with risk headlines. Tokenized stocks and ETFs above $1 million reportedly rose to 348 from 3 in January 2025, Schroders launched a tokenized bond fund on Solana, and Chainlink announced an onchain bond compliance framework. Policy risk broadened: Democrats may target Trump-linked crypto ventures, Italy dominated the EU register of unlicensed crypto firms, and SEC staff gave Canton Coin a no-action-style nod as a digital commodity.
