Streamex and Orca Build 24/7 Compliant Trading Pool for Gold-Backed Token GLDY on Solana

The two companies built the GLDY Pool on Orca to solve a problem that has slowed tokenized asset adoption for years. Investors who bought tokenized securities had no reliable venue to sell them. That gap, often called the distribution problem, kept institutional buyers on the sidelines.　　On Wednesday, Streamex (Nasdaq: STEX) CEO Henry McPhie said the launch addresses that obstacle directly. “What weve built with Orca is among the first infrastructure of its kind: a decentralized, permissioned trading pool that operates 24/7 and enforces compliance at the token level, not layered on as an afterthought,” McPhie said.　　The pool enforces compliance through token-level access controls built directly into ‘s infrastructure. Investor wallets start in a frozen state by default. Only wallets whose holders have completed Streamex’s know-your-customer (KYC) and accredited investor verification can hold or trade GLDY.　　An onchain access control layer syncs eligibility status in real time from Streamexs KYC platform. That means investor credentials are checked and enforced continuously, without a manual review step between trades.　　GLDY is offered under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933 and is available exclusively to verified accredited investors. Streamex takes steps to verify accreditation status for all participants in line with

The new methodology takes effect immediately and is aimed squarely at addressing the lag that often exists between the listing of very large companies and their inclusion in major equity benchmarks.　　Under the updated rules, a newly listed company can qualify for fast-entry assessment into the Russell Top 500 Index if its investable market capitalization exceeds a specific market-adjusted total market cap threshold calculated at the previous index rebalancing.

Are central banks ready to move tokenization from simulation to real money?

A Bank for International Settlements-led trial has shown that tokenized central bank money and bank deposits can complete cross-border payments in a single atomic step across currencies.Project Agorá has shown that tokenized central bank reserves and bank deposits can settle cross-border payments atomically across currencies.More than 40 private institutions and seven central banks have joined the BIS effort, which has now moved toward real-value transaction tests.Separately, the BIS has warned that stablecoins and crypto exchange “earn” products can expose users to unsecured repayment risk.　　According to the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), Project Agorá has tested how tokenized central bank reserves and commercial bank deposits can settle transactions on an “all-or-nothing” basis, so neither side is left exposed if the other leg fails.　　Project Agorá tests tokenized bank money　　Under todays system, the BIS said a cross-border transfer can pass through multiple intermediary banks before reaching the recipient, which can stretch settlement to days and add operational risk during reconciliation. In the Project Agorá design, the BIS and participants used tokenization and blockchain-style rails to reduce handoffs and complete settlement simultaneously across jurisdictions.　　Project Agorá is a joint effort between the BIS, seven central banks, and more than 40 private financial institutions.

XRP (XRP) Price Prediction: Bearish Momentum Builds as Open Interest Weaken

XRP remains under pressure as it trades below key EMAs and major resistance zones.XRP derivatives cooling and falling open interest signal reduced trader risk appetite.Key support at $1.30–$1.28 is crucial as breakdown risks drop toward $1.20 level.　　XRP extended its downward trajectory this week as weakening derivatives activity and persistent exchange outflows reinforced bearish sentiment across the market. Traders continued reducing leveraged exposure after XRP failed to maintain momentum above critical resistance levels near $1.49 and $1.55. Consequently, price action shifted into a broader correction phase, with sellers maintaining short-term control.　　XRP Struggles Below Key Resistance Levels　　XRP currently trades near the lower boundary of its Donchian Channel around $1.33 after several sessions of lower highs. Moreover, the token recently slipped beneath the 20-day, 50-day, and 100-day exponential moving averages. This breakdown weakened the bullish structure that supported XRP during earlier recovery attempts.　　The rejection from the Fibonacci 0.786 retracement zone near $1.49 intensified bearish momentum. Since then, XRP has steadily declined while buyers struggled to reclaim lost ground. Additionally, the descending EMA structure continues signaling strong overhead resistance.　　The $1.33 region now serves as immediate support for short-term traders. However, analysts continue watching the broader demand zone between $1.30 and $1.28.　　This range previously attracted

Pound Sterling sleepwalks toward Bailey, not PCE

The Pound Sterling (GBP) is the oldest currency in the world (886 AD) and the official currency of the United Kingdom. It is the fourth most traded unit for foreign exchange (FX) in the world, accounting for 12% of all transactions, averaging $630 billion a day, according to 2022 data.　　Its key trading pairs are GBP/USD, also known as ‘Cable’, which accounts for 11% of FX, GBP/JPY, or the ‘Dragon’ as it is known by traders (3%), and EUR/GBP (2%). The Pound Sterling is issued by the Bank of England (BoE).　　The single most important factor influencing the value of the Pound Sterling is monetary policy decided by the Bank of England. The BoE bases its decisions on whether it has achieved its primary goal of “price stability” – a steady inflation rate of around 2%. Its primary tool for achieving this is the adjustment of interest rates.　　When inflation is too high, the BoE will try to rein it in by raising interest rates, making it more expensive for people and businesses to access credit. This is generally positive for GBP, as higher interest rates make the UK a more attractive place for global investors to park their money.　　When inflation falls too
