The discussion, featuring executives from DTCC, J.P. Morgan, Chainlink Labs, and Plume Network, centered on how tokenization, compliance, and infrastructure are converging to deliver measurable business outcomes, moving beyond proof-of-concepts toward tangible implementation.

ASIC Chair Joe Longo revealed that industry engagement remains worryingly low, with half of market participants declining to participate in recent tokenization surveys.

J.P. Morgan has reignited concerns about the long-term purchasing power of the US dollar by highlighting the return of the ‘debasement trade.’ This investment strategy sees capital flowing into real assets as investors seek protection against currency devaluation. The trend underscores growing anxiety about dollar strength in current market conditions, with the concept gaining renewed prominence despite not being entirely new to financial markets.

London-based Gyld Finance has closed a $1.5 million pre-seed round led by Lightshift to build regulated financial infrastructure for institutional staking markets. Founded by Abbas Ali (ex-J.P. Morgan) and Ruchir Gupta (ex-GSR), the company is creating liquid term staking instruments that will allow asset managers to treat staking rewards as a tradable asset class. With over $500 billion currently staked across major blockchains, Gyld’s solution addresses critical institutional needs including active portfolio management, capital efficiency, and risk hedging against staking reward volatility. The platform has secured strategic partnerships with Figment and Blockdaemon for validator operations, and Zodia Custody and Copper for institutional-grade custody solutions. Gyld has commenced a pilot program and is now onboarding early adopters from asset management and trading firms.

Bitcoin’s 2.6% decline reflects profit-taking by traders, not a bearish sentiment shift, with over $300M in liquidations. Geopolitical risks and Fed Chair Powell’s Friday speech have prompted caution, but bullish factors like Fed board changes and on-chain dip-buying suggest a rally ahead. Analysts note a bid-skewed orderbook, similar to early August when BTC surged 12%. A September rate cut (83.4% probability) could reignite demand for risk assets. Powell’s stance and Russia-Ukraine developments remain key triggers for the next bull run or sell-off.

J.P. Morgan has partnered with Marex Group and Brevan Howard Digital to utilize its Kinexys blockchain payments system, aiming to streamline settlements and reduce risks. Marex will be the first clearing firm to adopt Kinexys’ blockchain deposit accounts, improving operational efficiency. The system enables real-time, programmable payments while maintaining TradFi security standards. This move reflects J.P. Morgan’s growing embrace of blockchain, despite CEO Jamie Dimon’s past skepticism. The bank’s blockchain journey began with Quorum in 2016, later evolving into Onyx and now Kinexys, which has processed over $1.5 trillion in transactions. Recent developments include the launch of JPMD, a digital representation of dollar deposits, and potential crypto-backed loans in the future.

Bullish, the crypto exchange backed by billionaire Peter Thiel, is targeting a valuation of up to $4.23 billion in its U.S. IPO, offering 20.3 million shares priced between $28 and $31. This marks a steep discount from its earlier $9 billion valuation target in a failed 2021 SPAC merger. The IPO comes as regulatory clarity improves under the GENIUS Act, which has boosted crypto-related equities. Bullish, led by ex-NYSE president Thomas Farley, plans to convert much of the IPO proceeds into regulated stablecoins, aligning with industry trends. Despite a $349 million Q1 2025 loss due to crypto market volatility, investors are focusing on core profitability. J.P. Morgan, Jefferies, and Citigroup are leading the offering, with shares set to trade on the NYSE under ‘BLSH.’ The filing follows Coinbase’s Q2 profit decline, but sentiment is shifting toward long-term crypto infrastructure plays.

Coinbase’s stock fell sharply by 17% following its Q2 earnings report, missing revenue estimates by 6% with adjusted EBITDA down 13%. Despite the drop, analysts highlight potential recovery through strategic moves like acquiring Deribit for derivatives expansion and partnering with J.P. Morgan to integrate banking services. These initiatives aim to diversify revenue streams and attract a broader customer base, positioning Coinbase for stronger performance in upcoming quarters. The crypto exchange’s push into non-crypto services, including tokenized assets and real-world event betting, could further stabilize earnings amid volatile crypto markets.
