Brix raises $5.5M to tokenize emerging‑market credit strategies on MegaETH, targeting “institutional‑grade” yield products that trade like altcoins with added credit risk. Summary Brix raises $5.5 million to tokenize emerging‑market credit strategies on MegaETH. Backers include Yapi Kredi’s VC arm, Is Asset Management, Circle Ventures, ConsenSys and Borderless Capital. The project aims to slice institutional‑style EM strategies into ERC‑20‑like rails, echoing tokenization moves by BlackRock and Franklin Templeton. Brix, a tokenization startup focused on emerging markets, has raised $5.5 million to bring what it calls “institutional‑grade” trading strategies on‑chain, extending a tokenization wave that already includes BlackRock’s BUIDL fund and Franklin Templeton’s on‑chain money market products. The new capital will fund the launch of Brix on the high‑throughput MegaETH network, where the team plans to package frontier‑market credit and structured products into ERC‑20‑like tokens aimed at global investors comfortable with both crypto volatility and emerging‑market risk.

In a statement shared with The Block, Brix said it wants to “bring trading strategies traditionally dominated by large financial institutions on‑chain,” arguing that tokenization can lower minimums and increase transparency for strategies that typically sit inside private funds or bank balance sheets.

Bitcoin breakout odds rise as negative funding streak mirrors past bottoming regimes, K33 says

Persistent negative funding alongside growing open interest and rising bitcoin prices is increasing the likelihood of a short squeeze, according to K33.

The bitcoin 30-day average funding rate has been negative for 46 consecutive days, matching the duration of the 2022 bear market bottom, Head of Research Vetle Lunde noted.

While defensive positioning has become a recurring theme in the bitcoin ￼BTC-0.17%￼

 market, continued negative funding paired with growing open interest and rising prices point to elevated aggression from bears, according to research and brokerage firm K33, increasing the likelihood of a short squeeze ahead.

The 30-day average bitcoin derivatives funding rate has now been negative for 46 consecutive days, K33 Head of Research Vetle Lunde noted in a new report, matching the duration of the negative funding regime seen around the late 2022 bear market bottom.

"With recent funding rate compression and the unusually persistent negative regime, we see increasing odds of higher highs and a breakout from BTC's 68-day consolidation," Lunde said.

Periods where notional open interest trends higher, bitcoin prices rise, and daily, seven-day, and 30-day average funding rates remain negative have persistently appeared near consolidation bottoms, Lunde noted.

"Current crypto-native positioning aligns with such conditions, which is why we have emphasized funding rate regimes in our reports over the past month and why we maintain our bullish BTC outlook," he said.

Only March to May 2020 (63 days) and June to August 2021 (49 days) have presented longer continuous durations of negative 30-day funding rates, according to K33's analysis.

Markets are increasingly pricing in "peace" as a key macro driver in the current cycle.

Notably, the current setup appears to be supporting that narrative. According to The Kobeissi Letter, another agreement may now be on the table.

A new round of negotiations between the U.S. and Iran could take place as soon as Thursday, the 16th of April, following earlier failed attempts to reach a deal.

The market reaction has been notable. Following the news, Bitcoin [BTC] closed the day up 5.23%, with the wick extending as high as $74,911.

This reinforces the idea that investors are closely tracking geopolitical developments, with macro headlines continuing to act as a key driver for price action.

Pakistan Signs Important Regulation That Closely Affects the Cryptocurrency Sector! Here Are the Details

The Reserve Bank of Pakistan has implemented a significant regulation that closely affects the cryptocurrency sector.

According to Reuters, the bank lifted a ban that had been in place for nearly eight years, allowing Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) to open bank accounts. This decision is seen as a critical step towards integrating crypto assets into the formal financial system in the country.

According to the new regulation, banks in Pakistan will be able to accept cryptocurrency companies as clients after completing the necessary license verifications. This will require VASPs (Variable Rate Subsidies for Businesses) to possess valid licenses issued by the government. The aim is to create a more transparent and auditable structure for companies operating in the sector.

On the other hand, the regulation also imposes certain restrictions on banks. Banks will continue to be prohibited from investing customer funds in crypto assets or directly holding cryptocurrencies. This approach is said to aim at keeping risks under control in the financial system.

Experts say the decision could accelerate the development of the cryptocurrency sector in Pakistan. It is anticipated that crypto companies, which have long faced difficulties accessing the banking system, will now have easier access to financial services.

It is emphasized that this step is also important in terms of strengthening the regulatory framework and increasing investor confidence. Pakistan’s move is among the developments indicating the increasing acceptance of crypto assets on a global scale.
