Corporate and ETF Bitcoin Holdings

Crypto firm River reports companies now hold more Bitcoin than ETFs. Both continue to accumulate, which helps offset whale sell-offs. This creates a structural floor for BTC prices.

CFTC Tokenized Collateral Move

The US CFTC allows tokenized assets as collateral in derivatives markets. RedStone Co-Founder Marcin Kazmierczak calls it a watershed moment. Real-time, trusted pricing infrastructure is required. Scale is also a challenge with thousands of chains and hundreds of thousands of assets.
