The SEC released a document (34-105260) disclosing the rule change application submitted by the NYSE, intending to formally introduce a framework for trading tokenized securities.According to the proposal, the NYSE plans to add Rule 7.5, allowing eligible securities to be traded and settled in a blockchain-based tokenized form in addition to traditional forms. The relevant arrangements will operate under the DTC pilot program. The core mechanisms include: tokenized securities and traditional stocks will share the same trading code (CUSIP) and rights structure, and will be fully interchangeable; in the matching system, tokenized and traditional securities will have the same execution priority, and the order of transactions will not be affected by the different forms; trading participants can choose to settle and clear in an on-chain form through a tokenization flag, with specific processing carried out by custodians. Additionally, the NYSE also plans to simultaneously modify order sorting, routing, and clearing rules to accommodate the trading process of tokenized securities, ensuring seamless integration with the existing market structure.From a market perspective, this proposal signifies that traditional U.S. securities exchanges are officially exploring the introduction of blockchain technology into the core trading and settlement systems. If approved, it could become an important milestone for on-chain securities entering mainstream financial infrastructure.

According to documents from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) submitted a rule change proposal to the SEC (File No. SR-NYSE-2026-17) to add Rule 7.5 and amend related provisions, allowing eligible securities to be traded in tokenized form on the exchange.The proposal is based on the three-year tokenization pilot program by the Depository Trust Company (DTC) and is modeled after similar rules previously approved by the SEC for Nasdaq. According to the proposal, tokenized securities must share the same CUSIP number, trading code, and shareholder rights as traditional securities to trade with equal priority on the same order book. The initial scope is limited to components of the Russell 1000 Index and ETFs tracking major indices, with a settlement cycle remaining unchanged at T+1, and existing regulatory rules will also apply to tokenized securities.

Bitfinex released a report indicating that tokenized commodities are moving from early experimentation to practical application, becoming an important manifestation of the reconstruction of real-world assets (RWA) on the blockchain. The core of this shift is not to create new demand, but to reshape existing market infrastructure.Data shows that the total market value of tokenized commodities has reached approximately $7 billion, growing nearly 600% since the beginning of 2025. Current major participants include crypto-native investors and high-net-worth individuals. Amid increasing geopolitical volatility, tokenization is enhancing asset liquidity and risk management flexibility. Gold remains the primary entry point, with Tether Gold accounting for nearly 40% market share.The report points out that on-chain gold possesses characteristics such as real-time transfer and global auditability, making it more suitable as collateral compared to physical assets, and it can overcome traditional trading hours and settlement limitations. In addition to gold, tokenized commodities have expanded into areas such as oil, natural gas, and agricultural products, with soybeans and soybean oil each around $400 million, and green financing-related exposure around $850 million, indicating that this model has cross-category expansion potential.At the same time, the traceability of blockchain has also enhanced supply chain transparency, meeting regulatory and ESG requirements. Bitfinex believes that in the future, the focus of tokenization will shift from precious metals to industrial products such as copper and oil, achieving a transition from "product innovation" to "market infrastructure upgrade" by improving collateral efficiency, asset circulation speed, and transparency.

According to DL News, the state-owned power company Irkutskenergosbyt in the Irkutsk region of Russia recently discovered over 8,000 suspected illegal cryptocurrency mining sites, which were disguised as chicken coops, greenhouses, forests, paper mills, and abandoned gas stations.Since 2019, the company has filed 2,170 lawsuits against illegal miners, seeking a total compensation of $18.5 million. The courts have ruled fines amounting to about half of that total, and some cases have been settled out of court. Miners often disguise their activities as electric vehicle charging or agricultural electricity use, leading to power losses. In many regions of Russia, to ensure grid stability, licensed industrial mining sites have been shut down, and there are plans to use artificial intelligence tools to trace illegal mining.
