According to official news, Ondo Finance announced a partnership with Chainlink to accelerate the application of tokenized U.S. stocks in the DeFi space by adopting Chainlink as the official data oracle.It was introduced that Chainlink provides institutional-grade pricing tailored specifically for Ondo's on-chain tokenized stocks, allowing DeFi protocols to price Ondo Global Markets assets with top-tier accuracy, manage positions securely, and offer users stronger protection during market volatility.Currently, the initial lending of Ondo tokenized assets, including SPYon, QQQon, and TSLAon, supported by Chainlink, has gone live on Euler, enabling users to borrow stablecoins using tokenized stocks and ETFs as collateral. In the future, tokenized stocks and ETFs will expand to more markets, vaults, and structured products, facilitating more efficient capital deployment and portfolio construction.

The centralized crypto trading platform Backpack Exchange, created by former FTX and Alameda executives, announced the issuance of a token with a total supply of 1 billion, with the distribution mechanism directly linked to its goal of going public in the U.S. The first batch of token issuance will release 25% (250 million), and an additional 37.5% (375 million) will be unlocked upon reaching key milestones, including entering new markets or launching new products. The remaining 375 million will be locked for one year after the company goes public and will be deposited into the treasury.Backpack co-founder and CEO Armani Ferrante emphasized that the core principle of the token unlocking mechanism is to prevent insiders from cashing out before retail investors. To this end, the company's founders, executives, team members, and venture capitalists have not received any direct token allocations, and the team currently holds only equity in the company rather than tokens. This means that team members cannot gain any wealth returns through tokens until the company completes its IPO or undergoes other equity exit events.Previously, Axios reported that Backpack is in talks to raise $50 million at a $1 billion valuation, potentially becoming the latest unicorn in the crypto industry.

Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov stated that despite the cryptocurrency market's total market capitalization dropping 44% from the historical high of $4.4 trillion in October, this bear market has two essential differences from previous cycles.First, unlike the collapse of crypto lending institutions like FTX in 2022, this downturn has not seen significant institutional failures or systemic risks; there have been no major risk management failures leading to institutional bankruptcies or widespread systemic risks, indicating that the industry is now better equipped to handle volatility. Second, the on-chain RWA tokenization value has grown by 300% over the past 12 months, proving that this innovation has value independent of speculation and is not closely tied to cryptocurrency prices.Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani also mentioned that the current Bitcoin price movement is merely a crisis of confidence, with nothing collapsing. BTSE exchange COO Jeff Mei pointed out that this sell-off is primarily driven by non-crypto catalysts, including concerns over the bursting of the AI tech bubble and the nomination of Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve Chair, which may tighten liquidity.

An independent core development team led by Zcash (ZEC) founder Zooko, Shielded Labs, announced that it has received a donation from Vitalik Buterin, aimed at supporting the development of Crosslink.It is reported that Crosslink enhances Zcash's existing proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism by adding a parallel finality layer, thereby preventing chain reorganization and rollback attacks. All block generation and economic activity still occur on the PoW chain, while the finality mechanism anchors blocks and provides stronger settlement guarantees. By ensuring that confirmed transactions are irreversible, Crosslink reduces the risk of double spending and increases the reliability of transaction settlements. In commenting on the donation, Vitalik stated, "Zcash is one of the most trusted cryptocurrency projects, always maintaining a focus on privacy. The Crosslink project by Shielded Labs will make Zcash more secure while reducing the security budget, thus supporting its long-term sustainability."
