Tokenized assets dont always mirror traditional markets, Dune finds

Tokenized markets show different trading and investment patterns from traditional markets, according to a new Dune report comparing onchain and off-chain activity across equities, credit, commodities and cash-equivalent products.  Dune found the difference pronounced in equities, where single stocks accounted for 81% of tokenized equity spot supply while exchange-traded funds (ETFs) made up 19%.  Armand Khatri, head of ecosystem at Ondo Finance, said tokenization gives investors more control over asset selection by reducing their dependence on local intermediaries offerings.  “The investor decides which they want,” he said, referring to the choice between single-company and index exposure.  Dune put the value of tokenized real-world assets at $34.5 billion as of Aug. 31, up more than 140% from a year earlier, with cash equivalents still dominating supply while equities were the most actively traded segment.

Bitget restores $300M fund after absorbing $388M security breach

Bitget said on Sept. 30 that it had restored its Protection Fund to more than $300 million after absorbing the Sept. 24 security breachs financial impact. The exchange describes the fund as an additional safeguard for customers, separate from reserves backing their account balances.

SEC moves to clear custody hurdle for advisers offering crypto

The US securities regulator has proposed easing rules governing how investment advisers and funds hold crypto, potentially clearing a regulatory hurdle that has held some businesses back from offering clients digital asset investments.  The proposal, published on Thursday, would let investment advisers hold clients crypto assets themselves when no eligible crypto custodian is available, with conditions. It would also allow state trust companies to serve as crypto custodians.  “The crypto asset market has grown from a niche curiosity into a multi-trillion-dollar asset class to which investors actively seek exposure. Unfortunately, our rules and regulations have not kept pace,” US Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Paul Atkins said in a statement.  The proposal targets a practical barrier to crypto investment: investment advisers can struggle to find a qualified custodian for a particular token, limiting the investments they can offer clients.  The Digital Chamber has previously raised concerns about the lack of qualified crypto custodians. In a May 2025 submission to the SEC, the Digital Chamber said some advisers had declined token allocations or asked portfolio companies to retain them until custody became available.  In a statement on Thursday, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce likened the uncertainty to a regulatory “roller coaster,” saying advisers have been “gritting their

US Treasury Buys $6 Billion of Bonds as Bitcoin Battles 24-Year-High Yields

The US Treasury used its full $6 billion limit in Thursdays bond buyback, retiring older long-term debt early. The move came as the 10-year Treasury yield touched 5.342%, its highest since April 2002.  A yield is the return investors demand to lend to the government.

LATAM Is Not One Market: New Research Maps Four Distinct Investment Opportunities Across Latin America

NEW YORK, Oct. 1, 2026 – Varys Capital and Verda Ventures today announced the publication of LATAM: Beyond the Acronym — Disaggregating Technological & Financial Investment Opportunities Across Latin America, a 70-page analysis of the forces reshaping investment across one of the worlds most diverse emerging markets.  Rather than treating Latin America as a single investment destination, the report identifies four distinct market archetypes: Scale Markets, Stable Builders, Crisis Innovators, and Frontier Markets. Each is shaped by different economic conditions, financial infrastructure, regulatory environments, levels of digital adoption and entrepreneurial ecosystems.  The reports central finding is that fragmentation itself can be an investment signal. Differences in purchasing power, monetary stability, financial access, regulation and digital infrastructure mean that neighboring countries can face fundamentally different problems, and therefore generate fundamentally different opportunities for technology and financial innovation.  “Latin America is not one investment story,” said Thomas Dunleavy, Head of Venture at Varys Capital. “It is a collection of markets operating under different constraints, incentives and innovation cycles.”  Sponsored  Sponsored  One of the clearest examples is the growing role of stablecoins and digital dollars as financial infrastructure.

Binances EU services face scrutiny over licensing exemption: Report

European regulators are reportedly scrutinizing Binance‘s use of a legal exemption to continue serving customers in the European Union without authorization under the bloc’s crypto rules.  The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) and regulators in France, Germany and Greece are examining Binances use of reverse solicitation under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), the Financial Times reported on Thursday.  Binance withdrew its Greek MiCA application in June and said it would seek authorization in another EU member state.  Binance told Cointelegraph on Sept. 18 that it continues pursuing MiCA authorization and remains committed to operating in Europe on a long-term compliant basis.  Reverse solicitation under scrutiny  Binance is relying on reverse solicitation to continue serving some EU customers, the report said, citing a person familiar with the matter.  The exemption allows non-EU crypto asset service providers (CASPs) to serve customers who approach them entirely on their own initiative, but ESMAs guidelines stress that companies cannot use it to circumvent MiCA requirements.
