  • Market continues to slide and $BTC once traded near $76k. As of now, $BTC is trading at $76,993 and $ETH at $2,129. Bitcoin dominance stands at 60.68%.

  • The SEC is preparing an “innovation exemption” that could allow trading platforms to offer tokenized versions of publicly traded stocks under a lighter regulatory framework. This could accelerate Wall Street adoption as firms like DTCC, Nasdaq, and Intercontinental Exchange move to launch blockchain-based trading and settlement systems for stocks and ETFs.

  • A few other headlines include: Strategy has acquired 24,869 $BTC for ~$2.01B at ~$80,985 per $BTC, Ostium’s onchain perpetuals exchange will be powered by Nasdaq data, and Galaxy secured a New York BitLicense to offer digital asset services in the state.

  • During the last 24 hours, the top three gainers were $TRAC, $CFG, and $INJ, while the top three losers were $UB, $PIEVERSE, and $B.
