Blockchain trial on Canton Network tests collateral reuse with tokenized US Treasurys

Digital Asset and a group of major financial institutions have successfully conducted a second round of onchain US Treasury financing trials on the Canton Network. The test introduced real-time collateral reuse using tokenized US Treasurys and expanded the use of multiple stablecoins, including USDC, to enhance onchain liquidity. This innovation bypasses traditional operational delays associated with rehypothecation. Participants included Bank of America, Citadel Securities, Cumberland DRW, Virtu Financial, Société Générale, Tradeweb, Circle, Brale, and M1X Global. The Canton Network, a blockchain built for institutional finance, continues to grow in the tokenized real-world assets (RWA) space, with over $370 billion represented onchain, leading the market significantly.

How Does Ripple’s XRP Enable The Trillion-Dollar Tokenization Market?

Cryptocurrency analyst Pumpius explains Ripple's XRP and its role in enabling the trillion-dollar tokenization market on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). He emphasizes that XRP and Ripple's upcoming RLUSD stablecoin are complementary, not competitive. XRP handles cross-border liquidity and global routing, while RLUSD supports domestic flows, tokenized assets, and institutional balance sheets. Together, they form a two-asset settlement engine, unlocking instant settlement, atomic swaps, and unified liquidity for tokenized assets. Pumpius asserts that without instant and compliant settlement, tokenization is ineffective. He also highlights the importance of an emerging ZK (zero-knowledge) layer for providing privacy and compliance. Additionally, Ripple CTO David Schwartz defended XRP and XRPL against claims of being "extremely centralized," stating the network is permissionless and has never censored a transaction. At the time of writing, XRP was trading at approximately $2.05.

JPMorgan's 2026 Global Investment Outlook: Economic 'K-Shaped Divergence' Continues; AI Adoption Soars

JPMorgan's 2026 Global Investment Outlook highlights a continued "K-shaped" economic divergence in the U.S., where high-income groups and technology sectors benefit significantly, while middle- and lower-income populations and interest-rate-sensitive industries face ongoing pressure. The U.S. economy is expected to remain resilient, supporting risk assets like equities and corporate credit, though cyclical momentum is limited. The Federal Reserve will continue normalizing interest rates cautiously amid potential volatility. Key investment themes include balancing portfolios across stocks, bonds, and alternative assets to capture structural opportunities and diversify returns. Three critical questions for investors are whether stocks are overvalued, if profits can remain strong, and whether AI-related stocks are in a bubble. Growth stocks, particularly in technology, remain attractive due to strong earnings, while consumer stocks lag due to tax and spending pressures. AI beneficiaries extend beyond innovators to enablers (industrials, utilities) and adopters (finance, healthcare). Fixed income investments should focus on high-quality assets, with longer-duration bonds offering potential upside if rates decline. Despite a recent increase in international equity allocations, U.S. equities remain overweighted. The "60/40" stock/bond model is evolving into "60/40+" by incorporating alternatives for lower correlation and reduced volatility. Structural improvements in international markets and a weaker dollar support non-U.S. equities. Investors are advised to emphasize selectivity, diversification, and active management in a complex macro environment.

Arkham Announces 'De-anonymization' of ZCash. Which Transactions Are Being Tracked

Analytics platform Arkham Intelligence has announced it has begun "de-anonymizing" transactions of the privacy-focused cryptocurrency Zcash (ZEC). Arkham claims to have labeled over half (53%) of all ZEC transactions, including both private (shielded) and public ones, and has linked $420 billion worth of ZEC to specific individuals and entities. Its monitoring tools provide alerts for large transactions and use AI for analysis. As an example, Arkham highlighted that the U.S. government holds $1.26 million in ZEC, confiscated from AlphaBay founder Alexander Cazes eight years ago. Zcash creator Zooko Wilcox responded by stating the announcement is not true de-anonymization, as ZEC users themselves choose whether to make their transactions visible on such a dashboard. The news comes amid a significant price surge for ZEC, which has increased nearly tenfold since the start of the year. Wilcox admitted he does not know the reason for the price increase but dismissed theories of a "coordinated pump" as cynical propaganda. Zcash supporters argue that Arkham's labeling is primarily based on data from the public portion of the network, though Arkham asserts it used methods to correlate some activity from the private pool as well.

Will Zcash's ZEC return to $500 or higher before 2026?

Zcash (ZEC) surged over 10% to $425, extending its recovery from recent lows around $300. Analysts note a potential double-bottom pattern, suggesting a possible rally toward $500 if key support holds. Large investors (whales) have accumulated over $100 million in ZEC, while smaller traders sold, indicating confidence among major holders. However, technical risks remain, including an overbought RSI and a bear flag pattern that could lead to a pullback toward $260–$280 if the uptrend weakens. The article highlights both bullish and bearish scenarios without providing investment advice.
