SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce shed light on what an innovation exemption could look like.
Over the past year, both crypto firms and traditional finance players like Nasdaq and the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) have explored tokenized equities.
Securities and Exchange Commission leadership unveiled details of a proposed innovation exemption for onchain securities, describing it as an incremental step to integrate tokenization technology into U.S. capital markets.
On stage Wednesday at ETHDenver in a question-and-answer format, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce and Chair Paul Atkins shed light on what an innovation exemption could look like. Atkins has said he plans to unveil a plan to fast-track crypto products in the near future.
The tokenization exemption would "facilitate limited trading of certain tokenized securities on novel platforms with an eye toward developing a long-term regulatory framework," Atkins said on Wednesday.
Over the past year, both crypto firms and traditional finance players, including Nasdaq and the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC), have explored tokenized equities. If approved by the SEC, crypto companies could offer blockchain-based trading of traditional stocks, potentially putting them in direct competition with conventional brokerages.
This comes as global interest in tokenized stocks surges, with Kraken reporting some $25 billion worth of lifetime trading volume in its xStock product. Likewise, Robinhood's real-world-asset-focused blockchain has reportedly generated over four million transactions in its first week of operation.
While the SEC, under Chair Atkin, is accelerating its crypto-related rule-making, it has taken a more cautious approach to onchain securities trading and issuance in the U.S. Prominent SEC Commissioner Peirce previously said that “tokenized securities are still securities.”
In December, DTCC was authorized to tokenize certain highly liquid assets on pre-approved blockchains under a three-year authorization period. Last month, the New York Stock Exchange said it was developing a platform for the trading and onchain settlement of tokenized securities, which could allow for 24/7 trading.
On Wednesday, Peirce noted that some TradFi skeptics of tokenization argue a future innovation exemption could allow crypto firms to bypass existing rules. However, the commissioner voiced a more measured stance.
Both groups are likely to realize that the innovation exemption is not as monumental as either faction anticipated," Peirce said. "It would be an important step toward facilitating the integration of tokenized securities into our existing financial system, but it would not change the entire financial system overnight."
Atkins said people should be able to trade certain tokenized securities through automated market makers or other decentralized platforms that use algorithms to facilitate trading.
In my view, market participants should be able to engage with decentralized applications on public, permissionless blockchains if they desire," Atkins said. "But I expect, however, that many Americans will be more comfortable allowing intermediaries to custody and trade on their behalf."
People should make that decision, not the SEC, Atkins added.

Happy Wednesday! Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan said strengthening DeFi fundamentals and rising institutional investment could help lead the market out of crypto winter, while Strategy's Michael Saylor struck a similarly optimistic tone, predicting a swift recovery and declaring that "spring is coming" for bitcoin.

Peter Thiel and Founders Fund exit Ethereum treasury firm ETHZilla, SEC filing shows
ETHZilla shares fell nearly 7% at one point in premarket trading on Wednesday, marking a roughly 97% drop from their $107 peak after Thiel's initial investment disclosure.
Thiel first took the stake in August 2025 as ETHZilla rebranded from 180 Life Sciences Corp. and pivoted to an Ethereum treasury strategy backed by a $565 million capital raise.
The company has since reduced its ether holdings, selling about $40 million worth in October for share buybacks and another $74.5 million in December to redeem convertible notes.
ETHZilla has now shifted its focus toward real-world asset tokenization, acquiring home loans and aircraft engines to tokenize on an Ethereum Layer 2.
Despite the recent sales, ETHZilla remains the sixth-largest known corporate holder of ether

Brevan Howard crypto fund posts 30% loss in 2025, worst year since launch
The fund underperformed bitcoin, which dropped about 6% last year, and reversed strong gains of 43% in 2023 and 52% in 2024.
The losses came as the broader crypto market declined, with total market capitalization falling 10.4% and bitcoin posting its first annual drop since 2022.
Despite the downturn, Brevan Howard Digital has reportedly continued deploying capital into crypto startups and tokenization firms while incorporating downside protections in select investments.

The 'Outlier' Carnival of the Solana Ecosystem: $PIPPIN Breaks Through Against the Wind, Why Do Meme Coins Always Blossom in Winter?
When mainstream coins are repeatedly consolidating at low levels, and market sentiment is crushed by terms like 'de-leveraging', 'capital withdrawal', and 'liquidity exhaustion', the meme coin $PIPPIN in the Solana ecosystem quietly carves out an independent market—its market cap surpassing $450 million, with a 24-hour increase of over 20%.
In a cold air, it feels like the only flame still burning.
The question is: why is it Meme specifically?
1. In the cold winter, liquidity always flows first to the 'lightest' assets.
When large capital withdraws, leverage is blown up, and risk appetite sharply declines, the market actually undergoes a subtle structural change—
Rational funds retreat, while emotional funds become more concentrated.
What are the characteristics of Meme coins?
There is no heavy fundamental narrative.
There are no complex valuation models.
Pure liquidity + emotional resonance
When mainstream assets lose direction, funds will instinctively seek out the place with the 'greatest elasticity'.
And Meme is a magnifier of volatility.
Not because it is more valuable,
But because it is 'lighter'.
Two, the soil of the Solana ecosystem determines the explosive power of Meme.
In this round of market, the advantages of the Solana ecosystem have once again emerged:
Low transaction fees
High TPS
The community trading atmosphere is strong
Strong on-chain activity
When the overall market is sluggish, the Solana ecosystem is more likely to form a small concentration of liquidity.
And Meme coins are essentially a 'liquidity game'.
$PIPPIN's rise is not just a story of one coin,
But it is a side confirmation that the entire Solana ecosystem still maintains activity during the winter.
In a bear market, activity is vitality.
Three, why is it easier for Meme to break out during the winter?
This is actually a psychological issue of market cycles.
In a bull market, everyone talks about narratives, visions, and long-term logic;
In a bear market, people are left with only two demands:
Quick recovery
Looking for some stimulation
Meme coins just happen to meet these two points.
It makes no promises for the future, does not paint a vision, it only provides volatility.
And in a depressed cycle, volatility itself is a scarce commodity.
When mainstream assets fluctuate 2% daily,
Meme coins give you 20%.
In the stage where emotions are suppressed, this kind of 'elasticity' will be infinitely magnified.
Four, is this a reversal signal or the last carnival?
Here we need to be a bit calm.
Historically, the collective activity of Meme coins often has two meanings:
Either a prelude to liquidity warming up again
Either 'self-entertainment of funds' when mainstream assets fail to rebound
Now it feels more like the latter.
Mainstream coins have not truly exited the trend,
Institutional funds are still on the sidelines,
The macro environment remains tight.
The strength of Meme is more like a 'local warming' during the market's winter.
Five, the real signal lies not in the increase, but in the structure.
If you are a trader, you might want to ask yourself a few questions:
Is this wave of rise accompanied by an overall increase in ecosystem activity?
Is there an increase in incremental funds, rather than a game of existing stock?
Have mainstream coins begun to stabilize?
If the answer is negative, then the rise of Meme is more like a temporary emotional release.
But if the overall ecosystem starts to warm up,
Then Meme is often the first tentative spark.
Conclusion: The light in the winter is worth watching, but don't misjudge it as spring.
$PIPPIN's rise is a wonderful emotional resonance.
It indicates that the market is not dead,
Indicates that funds are still looking for opportunities,
Indicates that human nature has never cooled down.
But whether the winter is over has never been determined by Meme coins.
The real turning point,
Must come from the structural reversal of mainstream assets,
From the return of incremental funds,
A comprehensive repair from risk appetite.
Before that,
Meme can jump,
But traders must remain clear-headed.
Because in the crypto world,
Emotions can ignite, but trends determine direction.#CZAMAonBinanceSquare #Write2Earn #BTC #TrendingTopic #tobeempire

XRPL Validator: Owning XRP Will Be a Dream to Many. Time

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) continues to gain attention as one of the most efficient and scalable blockchain networks in the crypto space. Recently, an XRPL validator sparked discussion by stating that owning XRP in the future may become a dream for many, warning that time is running out for accumulation at current price levels.

Growing Utility and Institutional Interest

XRP is not just another cryptocurrency—it plays a key role in fast, low-cost cross-border payments. With transaction speeds of 3–5 seconds and minimal fees, the XRPL is increasingly attractive to financial institutions, payment providers, and developers building real-world applications.

As adoption grows, demand for XRP as a utility token is expected to rise. Validators on the XRPL, who help secure and maintain the network, often have a deep understanding of on-chain activity and long-term trends. Their outlook suggests that current prices may not reflect XRP’s future value.

Supply Dynamics and Scarcity

Unlike many assets, XRP has a fixed supply. A significant portion is already locked in escrow, while a large amount is held by long-term investors and institutions. As more XRP becomes tied up in liquidity solutions, decentralized applications, and enterprise use cases, available supply on exchanges may continue to shrink.

This reduction in liquid supply, combined with increasing demand, could make XRP harder to acquire over time—especially for retail investors entering the market late.

Regulatory Clarity as a Catalyst

One of the biggest factors holding XRP back in the past has been regulatory uncertainty. As clarity improves in major markets, confidence around XRP may strengthen. Many analysts believe that once regulatory risks fade, XRP could experience renewed momentum driven by broader market participation.

Time Is Running Out?

The validator’s message is clear: opportunities often exist before mass adoption, not after. While no investment is guaranteed, history shows that assets with strong fundamentals and real utility tend to reward early believers.

For many in the crypto community, XRP’s long-term vision, combined with its growing ecosystem, makes it an asset worth watching closely—before owning it becomes far more difficult than it is today.
