According to CoinDesk, the cryptocurrency exchange MNX, developed by the prediction market platform Manifold Markets, officially launched on Tuesday, offering futures contracts linked to the valuations of private AI companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, and Moonshot. The platform is built on the MegaETH blockchain and completed a $6.4 million funding round in June, led by Village Global.Compared to existing products from OKX and Bitget, MNX's contracts expire at the end of 2027 and do not charge periodic funding rates; the perpetual contracts offered by Bitget and OKX have no expiration date. Max Killberg from Village Global stated that AI is driving one of the largest investment cycles in history, but the financial infrastructure surrounding it remains quite underdeveloped. The organization hopes to build financial markets around AI rather than just betting on another prediction market.Stephen Gruggett, co-founder of Manifold Markets, indicated that MNX's model is better suited for private companies like OpenAI and Anthropic, which have infrequent equity trades and are difficult to price. Traders can use up to three times leverage, with prices determined by trading activity on the MNX platform rather than external price sources.If the company is still not publicly listed when the contracts expire, the exchange will use public valuations from funding rounds, investment funds, or secondary markets; MNX currently does not serve U.S. customers but plans to obtain the necessary licenses and intends to launch markets covering a broader range of the AI economy, including company revenue, employment, housing, AI supply chains, and computing power.

Davidson is the founder of the Sound Money Caucus.In the interview, Davidson also discussed the end of the debate vote on the Clarity Act and its Section 305's threat to self-custody, as well as whether the bill will be reintroduced after the midterm elections, and topics such as open-source developer protection and the Trump family ethics clause. He also mentioned the American Reserve Modernization Act and the issue of the U.S. government holding Bitcoin, and responded to whether Bitcoin has become a partisan issue.Additionally, Davidson expressed his views on central bank digital currencies, financial surveillance, and reforms to the Bank Secrecy Act, referring to stablecoins as "Hydra-like" central bank digital currencies, and discussed the GENIUS Act.

According to Cointelegraph, Matthew Horne, Head of Digital Asset Strategy at Fidelity Investments, stated during a panel discussion at the Longitude conference in Singapore that there is "truly no turning back" as institutional forces have driven assets towards an on-chain future over the past 18 months. He pointed out that tokenization brings structural advantages to financial institutions and helps asset management companies reach new markets, with U.S. asset management companies particularly motivated to move assets on-chain.Ka Yan Chan, Head of Digital Asset Development at UBS, mentioned that government bonds and stocks, as core assets for portfolio construction, could bring billions of dollars on-chain. She believes that what will truly drive the scale from hundreds of billions to trillions will be market infrastructure participants like the Federal Reserve or DTCC taking the lead in transforming the custody layer into a tokenized platform, upon which industry participants can build a distribution layer.Data shows that demand for tokenized assets has increased by 41% in the past 30 days, with the number of holders surpassing 493,000. In December 2025, the SEC issued a "no-action" letter to a DTCC subsidiary, allowing it to provide new tokenization services for the securities market; in September, the SEC approved a temporary exemption allowing tokenized U.S. stocks to be traded on specific on-chain venues. Over the past 30 days, more than $1.2 billion has moved on-chain, with the total amount of stablecoins and tokenized assets exceeding $323 billion. Geoff Kendrick, Global Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered Bank, predicted in August that tokenized real-world assets could reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028.
