According to CoinDesk, Securitize, a tokenization platform supported by BlackRock, announced a partnership with global stock transfer agent giant Computershare, allowing U.S. listed companies to issue on-chain tokenized equity (Issuer-Sponsored Tokens, ISTs) outside of the existing stock system.Under the plan, investors will have the option to hold shares through traditional securities accounts or directly hold corresponding on-chain equity assets through digital wallets. Computershare will continue to act as the transfer agent, responsible for managing shareholder registries, dividend distributions, and handling corporate actions such as stock splits.Reports indicate that the core of this structure is to avoid the common "wrapped shares" model found in the traditional crypto market. Unlike derivative tokens that only represent a claim to shares, ISTs will directly represent real equity ownership, rather than a mapping certificate of off-chain stocks.Carlos Domingo stated that ISTs are not derivatives built on existing stocks, but rather allow U.S. issuers to create real equity directly in token form.Data shows that Computershare currently serves over 25,000 companies and acts as the transfer agent for about 58% of S&P 500 companies. The market believes that this collaboration signifies that blockchain infrastructure is gradually entering the backend system of the core U.S. securities market, which may further promote the on-chain settlement, equity registration, and asset circulation of U.S. stocks.

U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan denied former FTX CEO SBF's request for a rehearing and harshly criticized the so-called new evidence he presented as baseless and "conspiracy-laden." In a court order issued on Tuesday, the judge pointed out that SBF's claims that FTX was actually solvent, that the Department of Justice was concealing information, and that witnesses were afraid to testify due to government threats were completely contradictory to the record.SBF originally accused former FTX Digital Markets co-CEO Ryan Salame and former data science chief Daniel Chapsky of not appearing in court out of fear, but the judge emphasized that SBF could have summoned or compelled them to testify but took no action. In November 2023, SBF was found guilty on all seven counts of fraud by a New York jury and was subsequently sentenced to 25 years in prison. Last week, he voluntarily withdrew his motion for a new trial, stating that he could not obtain a "fair hearing" from Judge Kaplan, but the appeal is still ongoing.The judge also criticized SBF for creating public opinion through interviews, stating that the so-called new facts had already been raised multiple times. SBF had sought a pardon from Trump, but Trump has also made it clear that there are no such plans.

Web3 security company CertiK released the report "2026 Digital Asset Regulatory Status," systematically outlining global regulatory trends. The report indicates that by 2026, the regulatory frameworks in major jurisdictions will have basically been established, and the industry is entering a phase of full compliance. The report shows that anti-money laundering enforcement has replaced the definition of securities attributes as the primary regulatory risk, with global anti-money laundering-related fines exceeding $900 million in the first half of 2025, and transaction monitoring capabilities becoming a core compliance requirement.At the same time, smart contract security audits are evolving from industry best practices to entry requirements, becoming essential for license approval and token listings. Additionally, global stablecoin regulatory frameworks are becoming more consistent, generally establishing principles such as full reserves and licensed issuance; however, differences in cross-jurisdictional regulation still pose compliance challenges. The report points out that with regulatory convergence and strengthened enforcement, the industry has entered the "strong compliance era." CertiK states that the core issue facing enterprises is shifting from "Are we compliant?" to "Can we quickly build and implement compliance capabilities?" Licensing in multiple regions, investments in anti-money laundering, and ongoing security audits are becoming the foundational thresholds for institutional development.
