XRP is presenting investors with a tale of two markets: while fundamental network metrics are experiencing their strongest resurgence in weeks, the token’s price has retreated to critical support levels. Daily payments on the XRP Ledger recently surpassed one million for the first time since mid-September, active accounts have exceeded seven million, and transaction volumes are hitting multi-week highs. Yet XRP’s price has pulled back to $2.81, testing a crucial $2.71 support level that analysts say could determine whether the token rebounds toward $3.60 or faces further declines.

The SEC has warned that tokenized securities must adhere to traditional regulations, with Commissioner Hester Peirce emphasizing that blockchain doesn’t change an asset’s legal status. Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo explains native tokenization preserves stock entitlements like voting rights while eliminating counterparty risk. Despite enforcement actions against past offerings, firms like Robinhood and Kraken are launching new tokenized stock products, often with geographic restrictions. The SEC’s May roundtable signaled a collaborative approach, but past cases like Abra’s $300K settlement show regulatory risks persist for non-compliant tokenized securities.

Crypto trading platforms are increasingly adopting blockchain-native assets such as USDC and BlackRock’s BUIDL to enhance collateral efficiency in derivatives markets. Coinbase Derivatives announced USDC’s acceptance as futures collateral pending CFTC approval, leveraging its regulated custody trust. Simultaneously, Securitize enabled BUIDL—a yield-bearing tokenized treasury fund—as collateral on Crypto.com and Deribit, offering institutional traders yield-earning leverage. These innovations align with CFTC’s push for distributed ledger technology in non-cash collateral, citing global precedents like $1.5T in tokenized transactions. The trend underscores a broader move toward transparent, capital-efficient market structures.

VanEck has launched VBILL, a tokenized fund providing exposure to short-term U.S. Treasuries across Avalanche, BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Solana. The fund, open only to qualified investors with a $100,000 minimum investment, is managed by Van Eck Absolute Return Advisers and custodied by State Street Bank. VBILL leverages blockchain for transparency and liquidity, featuring USDC subscriptions, cross-chain transfers via Wormhole, and atomic redemptions into Agora’s AUSD stablecoin. This move follows BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, intensifying competition in the tokenized Treasury market, which has grown over 5x year-over-year to $6.8 billion. While VBILL enhances institutional access to on-chain yield, it remains restricted to accredited investors and carries inherent smart contract risks.
