Ondo drops tokenized asset blockchain plans for private, high-speed trading network

The pivot comes as tokenization gathers momentum across Wall Street. Tokenization — the process of representing traditional assets such as stocks, bonds and funds as blockchain-based tokens — is gaining traction as firms look to modernize capital markets with faster settlement and around-the-clock trading. At the same time, perpetual futures, once largely confined to crypto markets, are expanding to traditional assets such as stocks and commodities like oil and gold.　　Beyond issuing tokenized assets　　Ondo has emerged as one of the sectors largest issuers, with about $2.6 billion in tokenized U.S. Treasury products across OUSG and USDY and roughly $850 million in tokenized equities, according to rwa.xyz. The firms broker-dealer last week FINRA approval to launch regulated markets and services for tokenized securities.　　The new network represents the companys next step in moving beyond issuing tokenized assets to building the infrastructure for trading them.　　Ondo Network separates trade execution from settlement instead of processing every trade on a public blockchain. Orders are executed privately for greater speed, while finalized asset transfers settle on public blockchains.　　The approach is designed to address a key concern for institutional investors, who want the benefits of blockchain settlement without exposing their trading activity, positions or order flow to competitors.

European financial institutions launch RL1 cooperative blockchain network

Ten European financial institutions have launched Regulated Layer One (RL1), a jointly owned blockchain cooperative designed for regulated financial markets and tokenized assets.　　On Tuesday, the group announced that RL1 had been established as a European Cooperative Society in Luxembourg and had begun operations with founding members including ABN AMRO, Cecabank, Chartered Investment, Crédit Mutuel Alliance Fédérale, DekaBank, DZ BANK, LBBW, Natixis CIB, SC Ventures and Seturion.　　RL1 said each member will have equal decision-making rights over the networks governance and development.　　The private, permissioned network is based on infrastructure developed by German fintech Secure Worldwide Interbank Asset Transfer (SWIAT), which has now transferred ownership of the network to the cooperative.　　SWIAT said the platform has processed more than 50 transactions worth over 700 million euros (about $808 million) during three years of production use.　　The blockchain is designed to support institutional use cases including digital money, tokenized bonds, collateral and blockchain-based settlement. RL1 said the shared network could reduce fragmentation caused by financial institutions operating separate distributed ledger systems.　　Former SWIAT Managing Director Henning Vollbehr will lead RL1. KfW and L-Bank will continue supporting the initiative, while RL1 said it is in discussions with additional institutions, including NatWest, about joining the network.　　Related: CoinShares debuts Bitcoin

CLARITY Act odds fall to 34% as Senate delays vote

Prediction markets are lowering the chances of the CLARITY Act becoming law in 2026 as the Senate turns to Russia sanctions and federal nominations before its August recess.　　CLARITY Act loses its place on the Senate schedule　　Senate Majority Leader John Thune has not scheduled immediate action on the CLARITY Act, narrowing the path for the crypto market structure bill before lawmakers leave Washington.　　The Senate is instead moving forward with federal nominations and legislation imposing sanctions on Russia and Iran. Preliminary action on the crypto bill remains possible during the week of Aug. 3, but the chamber is scheduled to begin its summer recess after Aug. 7.　　According to Galaxy Digital head of research Alex Thorn, the timetable has become the main threat to passage.　　“The calendar is no longer merely an obstacle. It is now the enemy.”　　Thorn estimated that lawmakers needed to begin the floor process by July 30 to leave enough time for procedural votes and debate. The Senates decision to prioritize other legislation makes that timeline increasingly difficult.　　A vote after the recess is still possible. However, senators would return closer to the November midterm elections, when campaigning could displace complicated legislation requiring bipartisan negotiations.　　Senate vote math leaves little room for defections　　Most

Claude Mythos Cracked Post-Quantum Cryptography That Humans Spent Years Failing to Break

In briefAnthropic said its unreleased Claude Mythos Preview model found a previously unknown attack on HAWK, dropping the cost of stealing its smallest key from 2^64 operations to 2^38.The model also sped up an attack on a 7-round version of AES by 200 to 800 times, beating a record cryptographers set in 2013.Each result cost roughly $100,000 in API usage, and Anthropic staff spent several hundred hours verifying the AES work was real.　　Anthropic today said an unreleased version of its most powerful AI model found two previously unknown attacks on cryptographic algorithms, one of them against a scheme currently competing to become a U.S. federal standard.　　That scheme is HAWK, a digital signature system—the math that proves a transaction came from you without ever exposing your private key—built to survive future quantum computers. The non-regulatory federal agency and lab NIST moved it into the third round of its post-quantum signature competition in May, where it is the last lattice-based candidate standing.　　Claude found a symmetry buried in HAWKs math that no human had thought to use. For the smallest configuration, the cost of recovering a secret key fell from 2^64 operations to 2^38, roughly 67 million times less work.　　Fixing it means roughly
