Ondo Finance has launched a tokenized version of BitGo stock (BTGOon) on Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain through its Ondo Global Markets platform. This follows BitGo's successful NYSE IPO, where its stock price rose 2.7% on the first trading day, valuing the company at approximately $2 billion. The launch expands Ondo's tokenized equities platform, providing on-chain access to the newly public crypto custodian. A recent report indicates the total market value of tokenized stocks has reached an all-time high of $441.2 million, with Ondo Finance dominating the sector, accounting for 54.4% of the total. Ondo also announced plans to bring over 200 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs to the Solana blockchain.

Ondo Finance, a DeFi Protocol, introduced on-chain access to the BitGo stock on January 22. On the same day, the company launched its first public offering on the New York Stock Exchange. With that, it expands its U.S. tokenized equities platform and provides fast access to the newly public crypto custodian.

The tokenized asset, known as BTGOon, will be traded on Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain through Ondo Global Markets, the company’s on-chain trading platform for traditional financial assets, immediately after it begins trading on the Newyork Stock Exchange (NYSE). Also, Ondo was among the first U.S. companies to tokenize its stock so soon after becoming public.

With that, after pricing its initial public offering (IPO) at $18 per share, crypto custodian BitGo (BTGO) ended its first trading day on the New York Stock Exchange, up about 2.7% to $18.49. During early trading hours, the stock increased as much as 36% to $24.50 per share. The company was valued at about $2 billion in the transaction.

With that, earlier today, a report from Token Terminal shows that tokenized stocks have reached an all-time high market value of $441.2 million, with Ondo Finance leading issuance and accounting for 54.4% of the total, as it highlights Ondo Finance’s growing dominance in the tokenized equities.

Ondo broadens on-chain access to U.S. stocks

Ondo Global Markets keeps expanding, as revealed by its announcement on January 21 to provide more than 200 tokenized U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) with traditional finance liquidity to Solana for the first time.

Ondo Global Markets has quickly grown to become the largest tokenized securities platform globally since its September 2025 launch on Ethereum and its October expansion to BNB Chain, with over $460 million in total value locked and over $6.8 billion in cumulative trading volume.

Unlocking $100 Million in Liquidity? Pump.fun's New Policy Tests the 5-Minute Pump Technique

Pump.fun, a popular meme coin launchpad, has introduced a new standard mechanism called BOOST. It aims to address a significant capital efficiency issue: when a newly launched token graduates from its initial bonding curve to a liquidity pool (LP), roughly 20% of its liquidity becomes permanently locked as "dead liquidity," estimated to waste over $100 million annually. Instead of locking these funds permanently, BOOST repurposes them. Upon a token's migration, approximately 20% of the settlement funds (e.g., 17.6 SOL or ~$2516 USDC) are used to buy back the token on the open market over a 5-minute period via a Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP) mechanism. All purchased tokens are immediately burned. This creates a brief, systematic buy pressure immediately after migration, potentially generating a short-term price surge ("pump") while permanently reducing the token's circulating supply. The goal is to enhance the immediate post-launch trading experience, potentially increasing trader retention and sustainable protocol revenue, which funds ongoing token buybacks. However, concerns exist that this artificial 5-minute boost could lower the barrier for launching low-quality tokens and lead to steeper price crashes once the buy pressure stops, if followed by large sell-offs. The feature automatically applies to tokens migrating after July 21, 2024, but not to previously migrated tokens or those launched via the Mayhem AI Agent lab.

Selling Block Space is Dead: Public Chains Must Find a New Way

"Blockchain infrastructure as a neutral, generalized platform is no longer a viable business model. This article argues that simply selling block space has failed, evidenced by the fact that only one public blockchain, Hyperliquid, was among 14 crypto firms surpassing $200M in annual revenue recently. Hyperliquid's revenue vastly outpaces others like Arbitrum, highlighting a crisis. The future lies in public chains pivoting away from neutrality to become product studios, application distributors, payment rails, or vertical SaaS providers, directly serving paying customers. The piece also covers key industry events: a major exploit on Ostium, attributed to vulnerabilities in its off-chain price oracle, underscores the critical security needs for protocols bridging off-chain markets. Additionally, it discusses the necessity of abstracting complex financial instruments like options. Experts argue that to achieve mass adoption, options should be packaged as user-friendly products—such as yield vaults, binary options, or structured products—rather than marketed with their technical complexity. Finally, the radar section notes developments including Yearn's fixed-rate lending product Flex, community backlash over Base's strategy changes, the launch of a DXY perpetuals DEX called Plether, and Starknet's focus on institutional-grade privacy and quantum resistance."

Podcast Notes | Conversation with GSR Asset Management Head: To Determine if This Crypto Rally is Real, Just Watch the Lending Rates on Aave

Podcast Summary: Dialogue with GSR's Head of Asset Management: To Determine if This Crypto Rally is Real, Just Check Lending Rates on Aave Andy Baehr, Managing Director of Asset Management at GSR, discusses the current crypto market, characterizing it as stuck in a state of "ambivalence" with short-lived, unsustainable rallies. He outlines a simple framework: the market moves between "ambivalence" and "conviction" (sustained upward momentum). Currently, every rally resembles a single-stage rocket booster that quickly fizzles out. Baehr identifies three key signals to watch: 1) DeFi lending rates, 2) the potential passage of the CLARITY Act, and 3) the market forming a consensus on the "Fed hawkish peak." He emphasizes that the most immediate indicator for the sustainability of the recent CPI-triggered rally is the USDC borrowing rate on Aave, currently around 3.75%—close to U.S. Treasury yields. The absence of a credit spread indicates low leverage demand and a lack of market energy. He explains that a healthy, sustained rally requires layered buying pressure. Last year's rally progressed from an ETH short squeeze to crypto-native trader influx and finally to ETF inflows. Currently, this structure is missing. Other potential structural buyers like Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) companies are absent, and ETF flows have proven transient. Baehr notes that while small-cap crypto tokens outperformed large caps in Q2—a potential sign of capitation in major assets—capital is also flowing to more exciting opportunities like AI stocks and tech IPOs, leaving crypto sidelined. Regarding DeFi, he highlights that platforms like Aave provide a clear, real-time signal of leverage demand through their supply/demand-driven interest rates. A significant, sustained rate increase would signal genuine market conviction. He also observes the quiet emergence of fixed-income-like products and vaults in DeFi. On regulation, the probability of the CLARITY Act passing before the August 7th deadline has dropped linearly from 75% to below 40% on Polymarket. Baehr suggests its passage would be treated as a bullish surprise, a potent driver for price movement. However, political hurdles, including ethical clause debates and disclosures about the First Family's crypto profits, remain significant obstacles. Ultimately, the market awaits clarity on the Fed's terminal rate under Chair Warsh. Until the "Fed Solstice"—the point where the market collectively understands the peak of hawkish policy—sustained conviction will be difficult to achieve.

Send a Message to Transfer Coins? Telegram to 'Stuff' a Crypto Wallet into 1 Billion Users This Summer

Telegram founder Pavel Durov has announced that a native, non-custodial wallet called Gram wallet will be built into every Telegram app this summer. This move aims to provide instant, fee-free cryptocurrency transfers for the platform's over 1 billion monthly active users. Durov described it as the largest deployment of a non-custodial crypto wallet in history. The new wallet, developed by Telegram itself, differs fundamentally from the existing third-party @wallet bot. It will be non-custodial from the start, meaning users will control their private keys. Following the announcement, the GRAM token (formerly Toncoin) saw a price increase of approximately 8%. This initiative is part of Telegram's renewed control over the TON blockchain and its "Make TON Great Again" roadmap, marking a return to the project after a 2018 SEC lawsuit. The launch comes as other super-apps like X Money and Meta are also expanding into digital payments, with Telegram opting for a crypto-native approach. However, key details remain unclear, including the exact launch date beyond "this summer," how the promised zero fees will be implemented technically, and how asset support and private key management will work for mainstream users.

Hyperliquid’s HIP-4 proposal fuels HYPE staking as long-term conviction grows

Hyperliquid has proposed the HIP-4 upgrade to expand from perpetual futures into a broader, permissionless infrastructure layer for on-chain applications, requiring deployers to stake 500,000 HYPE to launch new markets. This shift aims to enable developers to build on its platform, a strategy backed by growing long-term investor conviction. Evidence includes a major trader staking millions in HYPE instead of taking profits, with total staked tokens reaching 43.9% of the supply, reducing available tokens and strengthening network security. Market metrics like high open interest and balanced funding rates suggest measured, non-speculative trader positioning. Sustained growth in protocol revenue, TVL, and governance participation further supports the positive outlook, contingent on continued user adoption and successful upgrade execution.
