Wall Street's transfer agents want issuers, not outside platforms, to control tokenized stock. Securitize's CEO says the alternative invites insider trading. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor!

Carlos Domingo, founder and CEO of Securitize, joins Laura Shin to argue that much of crypto's tokenized stock boom is unauthorized, offshore paper exposing investors and issuers to real legal risk, and to make the case that transfer agents, not outside platforms, should control what gets tokenized. They cover Rule 611, the SEC rule locking onchain and offchain share prices together, the Securities Transfer Association's push for issuer authorization, and a Netflix stock split that left an unauthorized derivative trading five times off. Domingo also lays out Securitize's NYSE partnership, launching tokenized trading in the fourth quarter. The SEC is now weighing whether to unwind the rule that keeps those prices identical, with real stakes for how equities trade next.

Een consortium van meer dan 140 bedrijven, waaronder Visa, Mastercard, Google, BlackRock en Coinbase, kondigde eind juni de stablecoin Open USD aan. De munt moet later dit jaar live gaan en de concurrentie aangaan met gevestigde stablecoins als USDC van Circle en USDT van Tether. Wat Open USD anders maakt, is het verdienmodel. Gebruikers kunnen de munt gratis aanmaken en inwisselen, en vrijwel alle inkomsten uit de onderliggende reserves gaan naar de deelnemende bedrijven die volume aanbrengen. Circle en Tether houden dat geld nu juist grotendeels zelf. Daarom wordt Open USD gezien als een aanval op het verdienmodel van Circle, dat een groot deel van zijn omzet haalt uit de reserves achter USDC. De aankondiging kwam hard aan: het aandeel Circle zakte ongeveer 16 procent. Toch zit er een barst in het verhaal. Verschillende bedrijven op de deelnemerslijst, waaronder Samsung en de Zuid-Koreaanse beursuitbater Dunamu, lieten weten dat ze helemaal geen formele afspraken hadden gemaakt en hun naam pas via het nieuws op de lijst zagen verschijnen. Dat voedt de vergelijking met Libra, het gestrande stablecoinproject van Facebook, en de vraag of Open USD de macht van Circle wel kan breken. Bitcoin staat weer op zo'n 63.000 dollar, nadat de koers vorige week een bodem van 58.000 dollar raakte. In diezelfde periode verkocht Strategy 3.588 bitcoin voor ongeveer 216 miljoen dollar, om dividend op zijn schuldpapier te betalen, zonder dat de koers daar serieus op reageerde. De vraag is: hebben we daarmee ook de bodem bereikt? De eerste signalen zijn er. Tot slot een primeur uit de wereld van tokenisatie. Securitize ging deze week naar de New York Stock Exchange en zette tegelijk zijn eigen aandelen onchain op Solana en Avalanche. Daarmee werd het bedrijf het eerste dat bij de beursgang zijn eigen aandelen direct tokeniseerde, en meteen ook het grootste onchain aandeel ter wereld. De tokens vertegenwoordigen dezelfde gewone aandelen als op de beurs, inclusief stemrecht, en vormen geen aparte soort. Wat voegt die tokenisatie toe, en gaan meer bedrijven dit voorbeeld volgen?

Bitcoin ETFs finally snapped their 10-day outflow streak, bringing in more than $221 million in new inflows, but Matt explains why one positive day isn't enough to erase June's record $4.5 billion in institutional selling. He also dives into the growing stablecoin debate, arguing that while Congress continues pushing back against a Federal Reserve CBDC, privately issued stablecoins backed by U.S. Treasuries may ultimately become an even more powerful form of digital money.https://www.youtube.com/watch?is=ncQr95cy21vYsWT4&v=SHroBbNtcbk&feature=youtu.beThe episode also covers Securitize's public debut and tokenized shares on Solana and Avalanche, Metaplanet's continued Bitcoin accumulation, the IMF's latest warning on tokenization, Russia's rollout of the digital ruble, and Spotify's dispute with Kalshi and Polymarket after alleged manipulation of music-related prediction markets. Matt closes with his thoughts on why the biggest story in crypto may no longer be Bitcoin itself, but the race to build the financial infrastructure that will power the next generation of digital assets.Happy Hodling, Everyone.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with Brian J. Esposito, CEO of Diamond Lake Minerals (DLMI) and a 25-year entrepreneur who has built over 115 companies across 25 industries. Brian has been in regulated, compliant tokenization for over 13 years , long before it was cool , and in this episode he breaks down exactly why most RWA projects are getting it wrong, why owning the underlying asset is non-negotiable, and how Diamond Lake is structured like a modern General Electric to bring fractional ownership of commercial real estate, music catalogs, hotels, and more to millions of people who have never had access to these kinds of assets before. We also get into the frothy AI IPO market, speculative leverage trading, and why the next FTX-style collapse would set the entire industry back years. If you care about where real-world asset tokenization is actually heading , not the hype , this one is for you.DISCLAIMERNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

When BlackRock needed to tokenize their first fund, they called Securitize. When the New York Stock Exchange decided to trade stocks 24/7 on-chain, they called Securitize. In this interview, CEO Carlos Domingo reveals why the DTCC is repeating the same fatal mistake the telecom companies made when WhatsApp arrived, why the banks actually need the Clarity Act far more than crypto does, and what happens when AI agents start trading tokenized assets in real time. Carlos breaks down the Jump Trading partnership, how atomic swaps are replacing T+1 settlement, why BlackRock choosing Securitize changed everything for institutional adoption, and his vision for a future where tokenized stocks, ETFs, and AI-powered portfolios all live in one wallet — and you don't even know you're using a blockchain.

In this episode, Lex chats to Joseph Chalom, CEO of SharpLink, a Nasdaq-listed leader in digital asset treasury management focused on Ethereum. Joseph shares his journey from BlackRock and the Aladdin platform to pioneering digital asset strategies, including staking and tokenization. The discussion explores the evolution of fintech, the integration of crypto into institutional finance, and the future of decentralized finance (DeFi) and AI-powered financial agents. Joseph highlights SharpLink approach to making Ether productive for investors and the growing institutional adoption of blockchain technologies. NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS: SharpLink's scale and “productivity” pitch for ETH We hear that SharpLink (Nasdaq listed since July 2025) has raised a little over $3B in equity, holds ~$3B of ETH, and claims it stakes nearly 100% of its ether—framing itself as a public equities “one click” way to get both ETH upside and yield. A rare behind the scenes look at BlackRock's crypto playbook We get specifics on how BlackRock approached digital assets through three pillars—Circle/USDC reserves, the Coinbase integration (announced Aug 4, 2022) to make crypto trading “boring” for institutions, and tokenization via BUIDL on Ethereum with Securitize, which he calls the largest tokenized fund. The next wave thesis AI agents + Ethereum rails Chalom argues the underestimated unlock is autonomous AI agents using Ethereum for programmable settlement, continuously reallocating capital across staking, lending, liquidity, and DeFi while monitoring smart contract risk—replacing manual “yield farming” with always on optimization.

Global markets are leaning into growth. Following the upside surprise in U.S. non-farm payrolls — with 130,000 jobs added and unemployment falling to 4.3% — investors are focusing on economic resilience rather than fading hopes of aggressive rate cuts. MSCI's All-World index is trading near record highs, while South Korea's Kospi has crossed 5,500 for the first time. Attention now turns to initial jobless claims and the upcoming CPI print, which could shape expectations for the Federal Reserve's June decision. CME FedWatch odds for a rate hold have climbed to 40%. In the UK, GDP expanded just 0.1% in Q4, while industrial production fell unexpectedly. Meanwhile, Nuveen has agreed to acquire asset manager Schroders for $13.5 billion. In digital assets, crypto markets remain steady despite Blockfills halting withdrawals. BlackRock is deepening its move into tokenized finance, bringing its Treasury-backed BUIDL token to Uniswap through Securitize. Court drama surrounding FTX has resurfaced, and Kraken has replaced its CFO ahead of its public listing. A busy macro backdrop with institutional crypto developments accelerating beneath the surface.
Leading advocacy groups from across the US digital asset sector have urged the Federal Trade Commission to adopt a more restrained and technologically informed approach to consumer protection. Meanwhile, tokenized stocks are exploding in adoption.~This episode is sponsored by Tangem~Tangem ➜ https://bit.ly/TangemPBNUse Code: "PBN" for Additional Discounts!00:00 intro00:06 Tangem: Sponsor00:29 CLARITY Act odds00:59 Amendments Coming01:19 Senate is in JP Morgan's Pocket02:18 JP Morgan raids SEC office03:36 DTCC Enabling Tokenized Stocks04:16 Securitize vs DTCC05:00 FTC Wants "Kill Switch" on Crypto05:45 Robinhood enabling Tokenized Stocks06:30 Gamestop Anniversary07:00 Jupiter x Ondo07:27 $JUP and $HYPE07:50 Solana Tokenized Stocks08:42 Avalanche RWA Incoming09:20 Vault Explosion Incoming09:52 Stablecoins vs Visa & Mastercard10:41 IRS Forcing Users into DeFi11:46 Gold & Silver Skyrocketing12:38 Ethereum Wins With CLARITY13:03 outro#Crypto #bitcoin #Ethereum~Gov Wants "Kill Switch" on Crypto!?

In this episode, Brett Winton and Lorenzo sit down with Carlos Domingo, CEO and co-founder of Securitize, to explore how blockchain infrastructure is transforming capital markets. As a pioneer in the tokenization space, Carlos unpacks what it means to issue native securities—like stocks, bonds, and credit funds—on chain and why the modernization of legacy financial systems is long overdue. Carlos details Securitize's role as a registered transfer agent and broker-dealer, their regulatory journey with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and why native tokenization (not synthetic derivatives) is essential for future growth. They discuss the promise of 24/7 trading, peer-to-peer transfers, composability with decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, and the global democratization of financial access—especially in markets underserved by traditional systems. The episode also dives into the tension between blockchain-native systems and financial incumbents, the logic behind Securitize's decision to go public via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), and the asset classes best suited for tokenization—from treasuries to public equities and beyond.Key Points From This Episode:(00:00:00) Why capital markets need a blockchain-based ledger upgrade(00:05:46) How tokenization improves global accessibility and financial user experience(00:07:35) Real-world examples: Tokenized treasury and credit funds(00:10:29) Understanding how ownership works: DTCC, transfer agents, and blockchain(00:17:08) Global appetite for tokenized stocks, following stablecoin adoption(00:18:24) Tokenizing private equity and venture capital for broader access(00:25:34) How Securitize tokenizes assets the right way—with issuer involvement(00:28:55) Regulatory clarity accelerates tokenization adoption(00:30:08) Open blockchain infrastructure unlocks composability and innovation(00:35:50) Where Securitize fits in the capital markets stack(00:37:13) Projecting tokenized assets: From $4.6B to $200B assets under management (AUM)(00:39:46) Why Securitize stays blockchain-agnostic despite protocol growth
