Today in crypto was less about a single price catalyst than the plumbing around market access. Ripple added an Aviva tokenized fund share class to XRP Ledger, Backpack Securities topped $584 million in weekly tokenized stock volume, and SEC staff clarified a 30-day public-notice requirement for tokenized-stock venues using a temporary exemption.
Derivatives and treasury flows stayed busy. Kraken parent Payward is eyeing a CFTC-regulated perpetual futures market on Hyperliquid for eligible U.S. users, while MetaMask offered Anthropic pre-IPO perpetual contracts via Hyperliquid. Bitcoin remained the most-covered asset as reports focused on $80K consolidation, macro-event risk, and treasury-firm activity. Policy attention clustered around stablecoins, community banks, and South Korea’s reported crypto-tax delay.
