‍Securitize CEO: Liquidity is Key for Tokenized Asset Success Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo emphasizes that liquidity, not just accessibility, is crucial for tokenized asset adoption. He notes that tokenizing an illiquid asset, like real estate, doesn't automatically make it liquid. Current progress is focused on assets with existing liquidity, such as stablecoins ($300B market cap) and tokenized U.S. Treasuries ($9B). BlackRock's BUIDL fund, a tokenized money market fund, has quickly grown to $2B. Financial leaders see tokenization expanding investable assets, particularly in emerging markets. The future hinges on enhancing trading efficiency for these digital assets. https://cryptovka.ru/en/news/7478/securitize-ceo-liquidity-is-the-cornerstone-of-tokenized-asset-success

‍2,000 Bitcoin Awakened: Casascius Coins Move After 13 Years Two rare Casascius coins, each holding 1,000 Bitcoin, have been activated after over 13 years, unlocking over $179 million. Minted in 2011 and 2012 when BTC was valued under $12, these physical Bitcoin collectibles represent a significant historical and financial event. The activation process involves accessing a private key hidden beneath a holographic sticker. The limited supply of these 1,000 BTC denominations (16 bars, 6 coins) makes them highly desirable.

‍Strive Urges MSCI to Reconsider Bitcoin Exclusion Policy Asset management firm Strive has formally asked MSCI to revise its proposed policy that could exclude major Bitcoin holding companies from key indexes. Strive argues this exclusion would limit passive investors' exposure to growing economic sectors and misclassify companies. Strive CEO Matt Cole highlighted the increasing integration of Bitcoin miners with AI innovation, noting companies like MARA Holdings and Riot Platforms are vital for AI computing infrastructure. He stated the proposed 50% digital asset threshold is "unworkable" due to Bitcoin's volatility, potentially causing companies to fluctuate in and out of indexes. Instead, Strive suggests MSCI create "ex-digital asset treasury" indexes to offer investors choice. https://cryptovka.ru/en/news/7461/strive-pressures-msci-to-revise-unworkable-bitcoin-exclusion-proposal
