Securitize Teams Up With Computershare to Tokenize U.S.-Listed Equities

Issuer-Sponsored Tokens enable direct equity ownership in token form, rather than synthetic wrappers sitting on top of underlying shares.  Tokenization platform Securitize and Computershare, one of the worlds largest transfer agents, announced an agreement on Wednesday to enable U.S.-listed issuers to bring their equity onchain through a new construct called Issuer-Sponsored Tokens (ISTs).  Under the deal, participating issuers can include ISTs as part of their issued capital alongside existing shares, including those held in the Direct Registration System (DRS). Computershare will serve as transfer agent for the tokenized holdings, processing corporate actions for ISTs in parallel with directly registered positions, according to a press release.  Crucially, ISTs are not derivative wrappers. “ISTs do not rely on derivative tokens that sit on top of underlying shares, nor do they alter any underlying equity,” said Securitize co-founder and CEO Carlos Domingo, framing the structure as a way to create direct equity ownership in token form.  That distinction matters in a market where most existing tokenized equity products, from Backed‘s xStocks to Dinari’s dShares, rely on synthetic representations backed 1:1 by deposited certificates rather than native onchain issuance. Nasdaqs own tokenized equities filing flagged the gap between wrapper-style products and tokens that confer the same shareholder rights

13.71 Billion SWEAT Tokens Drained In Seconds From Multiple Foundation Wallets In An Exploit Of Mass Penetration

On-chain data shows that the attack occurred over a 30-second window starting at 13:36 UTC. In this time window, numerous wallets associated with the foundation were fully emptied to zero balances. What we observe in terms of speed and cooperation indicates a high level of planning and technical professionalism.The scale of the breach is especially worrying since the tokens were about 65% of total circulating SWEAT supply.  The swift transfer of even this broad range of tokens from wallets it controls has raised alarm over the integrity of the Sweat Economy ecosystem & market stability.  Customized Drainer Contract And Instant Transactions Attack  Further analysis shows the attacker had employed a custom drainer contract designed specifically for this execution of the attack. According to reports, this contract associated with an “exploit-resolve” module built in Rust enabled rapid token extraction and transfer over multiple wallets.  This attack was almost instantaneous, dissimilar from most exploits that happen over long periods of time. The fact that several wallets were drained at the same time, reflects a high degree of automation and evidence of pre-attack preparedness, which are quite different from opportunistic attacks.  At the time of writing, blockchain records indicate that the attacker regained control over nearly 17.71 billion

When Will the Royal Government of Bhutan Stop Selling Bitcoin?

The Royal Government of Bhutan has continued reducing its Bitcoin holdings, raising questions over how long the countrys selling activity may continue after months of steady outflows from state-linked wallets.  According to reports, Bhutan has sold more than $200 million worth of Bitcoin since the start of 2026. The kingdom now holds roughly 3,400 to 3,800 BTC, valued near $263 million to $272 million, depending on market prices and wallet-tracking estimates.  was built through state-backed mining operations linked to its hydroelectric power resources. At its peak in late 2024, the countrys holdings were estimated at nearly 13,000 BTC. Since then, more than 70% of that balance has been moved out through repeated transfers.  Bhutan Cuts Bitcoin Holdings From Peak  On-chain data shows Bhutan has sold about 9,579 BTC since its peak holdings were recorded. The latest transfer involved 100 BTC, worth nearly $7.8 million, moving from government-linked wallets.  The sales have not appeared as a single large liquidation. Instead, Bhutan has moved Bitcoin in smaller batches, often valued between $5 million and $10 million. Some transfers have gone to exchange-linked wallets, trading firms, OTC desks, and unlabelled addresses.  Source:  This pattern suggests a managed selling strategy rather than a sudden market exit. Smaller transactions may reduce the

Powell may stay at Fed past chair term, impacting Warsh confirmation timeline

Jerome Powell might continue at the Fed beyond his chair term, with the Powell out as Fed Chair by May 14 market sitting at 4% YES, up from 2% a day ago.  The sharpest moves are in the May 15 and May 31 contracts. The May 15 market jumped to 74% YES from 26% yesterday. The May 31 odds hit 97% YES, up from 58% a week ago. The 70-point gap between the May 14 and May 15 contracts tells a clear story: traders expect something specific to happen on or around May 15.  In the related Fed Chair Confirmation market, Kevin Warshs confirmation by May 15 holds at 92% YES, unchanged over 24 hours. That stability, even as the Powell timeline gets murkier, suggests traders see the confirmation process as largely independent of when Powell formally exits.  The two markets differ sharply in liquidity. The combined “Powell Out” contracts traded $25,950 in daily USDC, with just $3,604 needed to move the May 14 market by 5 points. That thin book explains the 48-point spike, the largest single move. The Warsh confirmation market traded $27,187 in daily USDC but requires $23,574 to shift odds by 5 points, making it far harder to move.  Powell

Dogecoin Compression Nears End: Big Move Brewing In Either Direction

Dogecoin is approaching a critical inflection point as its price action tightens within a narrowing range. As key levels come into focus, the next breakout, whether upward or downward, could define DOGEs short-term trend and unfold with significant momentum.  Dogecoin Tightens Range: Triangle Compression Signals Imminent Move  According to a recent technical analysis by ChiefraT, Dogecoin is currently navigating a tightening triangle structure on its price chart. This pattern indicates a period of significant range compression, where the price is being squeezed between converging trendlines. As of the post, the asset was pushing directly into the upper trendline resistance, signaling an imminent volatility period.  The significance of this moment cannot be overstated, as the narrowing range suggests that a breakout or breakdown is imminent. When price action becomes this compressed within a triangle, it often serves as a coiled spring, building up the necessary energy for a decisive move.  Supporting the bullish case is the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which has been steadily climbing and is now positioned near the upper zone, reflecting strengthening momentum behind the current price push. With both the price action and the momentum oscillator hitting critical levels simultaneously, the technical confluence suggests that the market is reaching a major

Concentration of AI stocks inside S&P 500 hits dot-com bubble peak

The 10 largest AI stocks now make up about 41% of the S&P 500, according to a BofA Global Research chart circulated online.  That puts the AI basket at the same concentration level that tech and telecom reached around the dot-com peak. The BofA chart put the Nifty Fifty at 40% in the 1970s and Japan at 44% in the late 1980s.  The comparison turns a stock-market concentration warning into a stress test for a corner of crypto that has spent the past year selling investors a new identity.  The market concentration is the stress trigger. Miner disclosures and mining reports supply the exposure map.  Public Bitcoin miners increasingly trade as hybrid infrastructure companies with BTC exposure. Many have signed AI or high-performance computing contracts, raised capital for denser data centers, converted premium power sites, or shifted investor attention toward long-term lease economics.  If the AI infrastructure premium fades, those companies face a different kind of pressure. The risk moves from hashprice alone into debt, contract durability, construction execution, and equity multiples.  At the same time, Bitcoin gets a second-order test. A weaker AI buildout could ease the scramble for power, rack space, interconnections, cooling equipment, and GPUs.  That would hurt miners whose new valuations depend on
