Odaily News: Standard Chartered initiated coverage on Monday of blockchain oracle project Chainlink, projecting LINK to reach $200 by the end of 2030 — roughly 25 times its current price of around $8. The bank's phased targets are $13 by the end of this year, followed by $41, $82, and $133. Standard Chartered estimates that the on-chain tokenized asset market will reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028, with DeFi-deployed assets hitting $2.7 trillion by 2030 — a 37-fold increase from current levels. The bank expects Chainlink fees to grow approximately 25-fold over the same period, assuming token prices track fee growth. Chainlink secures over $110 billion in total value, covering approximately 70% of the value that global DeFi relies on from oracles, with a share exceeding 80% on Ethereum; Aave V3 accounts for 44% of that. Swift, DTCC, Euroclear, JPMorgan, Mastercard, UBS, Fidelity, and S&P Global are all listed as institutions using its services. Chainlink still lags behind LayerZero in cross-chain interoperability. Following the $292 million attack in April, over $7 billion in token value has migrated to Chainlink CCIP, with second-quarter transaction volume reaching $4.9 billion — up 353% year-over-year. Risks include slowing institutional tokenization, pilots not converting to production processes, and technical failures impacting confidence. (Decrypt)

According to Odaily, Randi Abernethy, Head of Clearing and Group Risk at Bullish, stated that the U.S. Senate's failure to pass the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) does not mean the digital asset market will stop developing; rather, it highlights the necessity of establishing a federal regulatory framework.Abernethy noted that during the Senate's consideration of the CLARITY Act, traditional U.S. financial institutions have continued to accelerate their entry into the on-chain market. JPMorgan Chase has explored tokenized ETF holdings through a production pilot with the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), and more than 50 institutions (including BlackRock and Goldman Sachs) are also participating in the development of tokenized stock and Treasury bond infrastructure. The current regulatory discussion is no longer just a "crypto industry issue," but one that concerns the future infrastructure of the entire financial system.Abernethy cited the 2008 financial crisis as an example, noting that financial risk spreads along shared infrastructure, and even institutions not directly involved in related assets can be affected. Today, the stablecoin market size has exceeded $100 billion, with a large portion of stablecoin reserves invested in U.S. Treasuries. If a major stablecoin were to face a crisis, it could impact liquidity in traditional financial markets. She stated that supporters of the CLARITY Act believe the bill could establish a unified regulatory framework for the digital asset market, including core investor protection mechanisms such as customer asset segregation, conflict of interest management, capital requirements, and information disclosure.

According to a post by a16z crypto researcher Robert Hackett and data advisor Ryan Holloway, the tokenized stock market is experiencing explosive growth. As of June 2026, the total market capitalization of tokenized stocks reached approximately $1.7 billion, representing a more than fivefold increase from $329 million a year earlier, making it one of the fastest-growing categories among tokenized assets. On-chain data shows that monthly transfer volume surged from $53 million last June to $9.22 billion this June, a year-over-year increase of more than 170 times. The market structure has also changed significantly: the proportion of crypto-related products dropped from 79% to 21%; the AI and chip category jumped from nearly zero to a market share of 15.5%; tech giants rose from 0.6% to 10.6%; and ETFs and indices increased from 4.5% to 17.3%. At the institutional level, DTCC has completed the first live trades of tokenized Treasury bonds and stocks on Digital Asset's Canton network, with full services planned to launch in October, which will open access for Wall Street to approximately $114 trillion in DTC custodied assets. Meanwhile, Robinhood has launched its own chain, NYSE's parent company announced a joint venture with OKX (pending regulatory approval), and Coinbase and Binance have also sequentially launched offerings for non-U.S. users.

As the tokenization of capital markets intensifies, the Securities Transfer Association (STA) recently submitted a comment letter to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), warning that stock tokens issued by third-party entities could undermine market integrity. The association is calling on regulators to prioritize tokenized securities authorized by listed companies in future rulemaking.The STA represents numerous Wall Street transfer agents, whose members argue that genuine tokenized stocks should be formally authorized by the issuing company and recorded on the official shareholder register, rather than consisting of "wrapped" token products created by independent platforms.The association points out that third-party stock tokens could confuse investors regarding their actual holdings and expose them to platform credit, custody, and operational risks, without establishing a direct legal relationship with the listed company. Therefore, any innovation exemptions, pilot programs, or permanent regulatory frameworks for tokenized securities should be prioritized for the issuer-supported model. The STA also urges the SEC to reform the existing Direct Registration System (DRS), arguing that the current U.S. securities depository system struggles to meet the real-time transfer and settlement demands of on-chain securities. It recommends that regulators collaborate with the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) to optimize the digital securities infrastructure.Currently, the global tokenized stock market, valued at approximately $2 billion, is predominantly led by the third-party model, including products launched by Ondo Finance and Kraken, while institutions like Securitize and Figure adopt the issuer-authorized model.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that financial market infrastructure giant, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), plans to demonstrate a real-time stock trading process based on blockchain technology this Wednesday. The technology is said to simplify the clearing, settlement, and record-keeping processes behind Wall Street stock trades, thereby improving the operational efficiency of capital markets. This test is seen as an important step for the traditional financial system in exploring on-chain securities infrastructure.However, the initial scale of the project remains relatively limited. After years of research and development, this demonstration by the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, one of the largest securities clearing institutions in the United States, is more of a validation exercise rather than a full-scale push to move the stock market onto the blockchain.Market participants believe that although tokenized securities and on-chain settlement are considered to have the potential to reduce costs and improve trading efficiency, the migration of traditional financial infrastructure to blockchain still faces challenges such as regulation, compliance, system compatibility, and coordination among market participants.This test marks Wall Street's gradual transition from the proof-of-concept stage to practical application and will serve as an important case study for observing whether institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure can achieve large-scale adoption.

on July 9 that Grayscale released research stating that stock tokenization will undergo three stages of development, with Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Avalanche, and Canton Network most likely to benefit as ownership models evolve. Grayscale noted that third-party wrapped tokens account for over 70% of the tokenized stock market capitalization. In this model, traditional stocks are placed in special purpose vehicles, and investors receive tokens representing claims on the vehicle's equity, rather than direct ownership. Such wrapped assets operate on Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain, and can be traded and integrated into decentralized finance applications. Grayscale identified the pilot program planned by DTCC as the second stage of tokenized stock development, with Canton Network set to be the first blockchain used for the DTCC tokenization pilot. The third stage is issuer-sponsored tokenization, where companies natively issue securities on-chain. Securitize became the first publicly traded company to tokenize its own common stock when it listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Grayscale expects that wrapped tokens, the DTCC equity model, and issuer-sponsored issuance will coexist for the next several years. (Bitcoin.com News).
