Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo has declared that native tokenization is the only authentic way to represent securities on a blockchain. Speaking to the media, Domingo said that anything less than native tokenization risks confusing investors and weakening the promise of blockchain technology. There’s no true on-chain model for securities today—most are confined to walled gardens, Domingo argued in a recent interview . In contrast, native tokenization builds, issues, and records securities directly on the blockchain, with no intermediaries or replicas of traditional assets involved. Exodus, a crypto software company, is one such example, with its stock trading on the Securitize platform as tokens, for one thing. Investors have a blockchain-based token that is legally the share itself. This would remove counterparty risks, operational friction, and fragmentation, common when a record of value is stored off-chain and on-chain do not tally, Domingo continued. He also cited BlackRock’s Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL), a $2.8 billion money market fund, as an example of how native tokenization can be done at scale. Rather than using a traditional fund with centralized databases and third-party custodians, Securitize acts as the fund’s on-chain transfer agent, keeping the share register for all shares on its cap table on Ethereum. Regulators caution against synthetic token offerings Amid the scramble in tokenization, US regulators grow increasingly weary of how securities are being redesigned on-chain, especially when the technology ostentatiously obscures legal responsibilities. This week, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce released a statement reminding the industry and retail investors that tokenized assets are still subject to securities laws. She cautioned that blockchain’s technological properties do not alchemically alter the legal nature of an asset. “As powerful as blockchain technology is, it does not have magical abilities to transform the nature of the underlying asset,” she wrote. “Tokenized securities are still securities.” Her remarks come at a time of mounting anxiety that forays by non-native token models, including those recently launched by Robinhood and Kraken, are misguided. Robinhood’s tokens debuted last month on Ethereum’s Arbitrum network and don’t correspond to direct ownership in stocks like OpenAI or Tesla. Instead, they provide “indirect exposure” to private companies via tokenized contracts. The tokens are not tradeable off the platform, are unavailable to US customers, and are subject to full KYC (Know Your Customer) checks. Kraken has gone a different direction. It’s xStocks, which are released through the Switzerland-headquartered company Backed, are permissionless and can be traded on decentralized exchanges. But US investors remain locked out again, underscoring the tough compliance maze. Lawyers such as Anthony Tu-Sekine, head of the blockchain group at law firm Seward & Kissel, pointed out that the legal boundaries remain clear despite technological developments. Tokenization is the future, but it’s time to learn some hard lessons Interest in the concept of tokenization has spiked this year as platforms race to bridge the world of traditional finance and that of crypto. However, previous experiments demonstrate that shortcuts or vague models can backfire. Crypto exchange giants such as Binance and one-time FTX have attempted to launch tokenized stock products in recent years. Such offerings were never realized due to regulatory implications. Abra, a digital asset platform, launched tokens based on contracts attached to US stocks and ETFs in 2019. However, after the SEC and the CFTC opened an inquiry , the company stopped the program and agreed to pay $150,000 in penalties to each organization for selling unregistered securities and breaking laws governing derivatives. Still, regulators have been more open lately. In May, the SEC held a roundtable on tokenization that gathered a range of voices from the crypto and financial sectors. SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda said the session was part of an effort to understand the evolving market better. He noted that, in recent history, people seemed to have forgotten one of the most basic principles—that investors and issuers possess valuable perspectives and experiences.

As the crypto market buzzes with anticipation over the near-certain approval of a Dogecoin (DOGE) ETF, investor attention is rapidly shifting to emerging opportunities across the DeFi space. While DOGE edges closer to the elusive $1 mark, one low-price DeFi gem, Mutuum Finance, is quietly gaining ground below $0.05. The project is selling at $0.03 which is the cheapest it will ever be. Mutuum Finance’s 5th presale round is already over 60% sold out. The project has surpassed $12 million in funds and welcomed 13,000 investors. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) may soon command the spotlight as traditional and decentralized finance begin to converge. Dogecoin Buzz: Latest Price and Market Outlook Dogecoin (DOGE) is currently trading around $0.176, hovering near its recent range between $0.16–$0.18, reflecting modest upward momentum amid ETF discussions. Recent forecasts suggest a growing probability, ranging from 63% to 80%, for SEC approval of a DOGE spot ETF by late 2025. Market analysis also points to potential catalysts: integration with Coinbase’s Base network and rising institutional interest could bolster its utility and market depth. While technical indicators hint at a possible breakout above the next resistance near $0.18, Dogecoin remains subject to broader crypto volatility and regulatory developments. And for those keeping tabs on the broader DeFi space, remember the protocol mentioned earlier: Mutuum Finance. Mutuum Finance Phase 5 Presale Sells Out Over 60% Mutuum Finance presale Phase 5 is live and gaining traction. Over 13,000 investors have already invested in the presale and have raised $12 million, a sure indication of heightened hype. Price increases are inevitable since Phase 5 has already reached 60%. Investing now guarantees investors the lowest price for the highest ROI. Mutuum Finance stands out in the crypto market, not through hype, but through actual utility and security at scale, with its game-changing dual-lending platform and upcoming USD-pegged stablecoin. Mutuum Finance Launches $50,000 Bug Bounty Mutuum Finance in its transparency and security emphasis has even introduced its official Bug Bounty Program in partnership with CertiK having a reward value of 50,000 USDT. It offers the reward in four categories, critical, major, minor and low in which there is reward for each type of vulnerability. This is another feature which indicates the proactive attitude of Mutuum in creating trust with respect to strong infrastructure and good security. Moreover, the project is creating an Ethereum-based full-collateralized stablecoin. The asset will remain stable in declining markets in contrast to algorithmic stablecoins that depeg in a fluctuating market. $100K Giveaway Launched by Mutuum Finance The project has already received the certification by CertiK and is paving the way for massive adoption. The platform is also organizing $100,000 giveaway contest, and 10 fortunate winners will receive $10,000 in Mutuum Finance tokens each. As Dogecoin (DOGE) hovers around $0.176 with ETF approval now looking increasingly likely, investors are wondering whether a breakout past $1 is finally on the horizon. But while DOGE eyes long-awaited milestones, Mutuum Finance is already delivering results. With over $12 million raised, 13,000 investors onboard, and Phase 5 of its presale more than 60% sold out at just $0.03, Mutuum offers unmatched upside for early adopters. Backed by a dual lending model, a CertiK audit, a $50,000 Bug Bounty, and an ongoing $100K giveaway, it’s clear this DeFi token is built for the future. Secure your position now and lock in the lowest price before the next phase closes.

Bitcoin is now sitting above $117,000 for the first time in its history, rising more than 60% since its lowest point in April. The exact figure? $117,080. Ether touched $3,000, before rebounding slightly to $2,800 at press time. Meanwhile, XRP surged by 5% to $2.6. This rally is happening while the U.S. Dollar saw its steepest six-month fall since 1973, dropping nearly 11% amid a simultaneous rally in tech stocks, led by Nvidia, which just became the first company ever to hit $4 trillion. The timing of Bitcoin’s price actions lines up exactly with new warnings about U.S. debt, fiscal chaos, and an economy that’s clearly slipping. In early April 2025, Bitcoin had been sinking as markets braced for another global trade war. On April 9th, the White House hit pause on tariffs, giving a 90-day delay. That was the same day Bitcoin bottomed. Then on April 20th, without a single headline moving markets, Bitcoin suddenly shot up, and didn’t stop. Something deeper was driving the rebound. The U.S. government just raised the debt ceiling by $5 trillion, bringing it to $41.1 trillion. Right now, the national debt is hovering around $37 trillion. If things stay on track, the ceiling will be maxed out again in under three years. That’s the real issue spooking the market. Elon exits DOGE as Bitcoin spikes On April 22nd, Elon Musk announced he was stepping down from the Department of Government Efficiency, also called DOGE. That announcement came just two days after the rally began, and the timing matched too perfectly to ignore. The market read it as a sign that the fiscal picture in Washington was even worse than expected. Elon’s exit was quickly followed by an open fight between him and President Donald Trump, who returned to the White House after the 2024 election. But that clash wasn’t just personal. It was political, and it came as Trump pushed Congress to pass what he called the “Big Beautiful Bill” (OBBB). The bill is projected to add $5.5 trillion to the national debt if made permanent. As talk of the bill intensified, Bitcoin climbed even faster. The full timeline shows how closely Bitcoin tracked the bill’s progress. On June 22nd, Bitcoin briefly dipped into its $100,000 support. But by July 1st, as analysts increased the odds of the OBBB passing, the price started to rise again. On July 3rd, the House approved the bill. And by July 4th, Trump had signed it into law. That same week, Bitcoin passed $117,000, while the U.S. Dollar Index dropped to levels not seen since March 2022. That’s not the only sign of trouble. In the first half of 2025, the dollar dropped 10.8%, its worst performance to start a year since 1973. Even during the inflation panic of 1986, the dollar didn’t fall this fast. And the drop is continuing despite Trump’s ongoing tariff campaign. The administration has been sending out “tariff letters” and escalating pressure on foreign trade partners. Normally, that kind of aggression should boost the dollar. But that’s not what’s happening. Elon launched his new “America Party” a few days ago. When asked on X if the party would support Bitcoin, Elon didn’t dodge. “Fiat is hopeless, so yes,” he said. At the same time, the Federal Reserve has taken a hard line. The latest FOMC minutes show that several members see no rate cuts coming in 2025. The official stance has been “wait and see” for months, meaning interest rates will likely stay higher for longer. That, too, should support the dollar. But the opposite is playing out. The greenback keeps sinking, and that has everything to do with the debt crisis.
