SEC Plans to Launch Tokenized Stock "Innovation Exemption," Allowing 24/7 On-Chain Trading of Stocks Like Apple

Odaily News: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) plans to unveil two crypto-related initiatives in the coming days, while Congress's CLARITY Act remains stalled at least until September. The SEC is expected to propose "Regulation Crypto" at a public meeting on Friday, allowing projects to raise funds through token sales without completing full securities registration. The SEC also plans to introduce an "innovation exemption" for tokenized stocks, with details potentially released on Friday. The exemption would allow tokenized versions of stocks such as Apple, Tesla, and Nvidia to trade on the blockchain 24/7, with support for fractional trading and near-instant settlement. Such tokens typically track the economic exposure of the underlying stock but do not carry voting rights or dividend entitlements. The initiative falls under SEC Chairman Paul Atkins's "Project Crypto" agenda, with Robinhood Chain, Solana, and Base all having advanced related on-chain markets. (Decrypt)

Crypto card issuer Kulipa suddenly collapses, Ready, Solflare and multiple other crypto card projects forced to halt

According to The Defiant, Paris-based startup Kulipa suddenly ceased operations due to solvency issues, causing the simultaneous disruption of card projects for approximately 20 crypto wallets and fintech companies it served. Self-custody wallet Ready (formerly Argent) and Solana wallet Solflare were both affected, with user card services immediately disabled. Since both wallets utilize a self-custody architecture, funds are deducted from user wallets only at the time of spending, so user assets remained unaffected. Notably, Kulipa completed a $6.2 million seed funding round co-led by Flourish Ventures and 1kx in April this year, only about 4 months prior to its collapse.

Tokenized sovereign debt platform M1X completes $5.5 million seed funding round, led by Paradigm

tokenized sovereign debt startup M1X Global has completed a $5.5 million seed funding round, led by Paradigm, with participation from Breed VC and others.It is understood that M1X Global previously collaborated with the Republic of the Marshall Islands to assist in the issuance of the on-chain sovereign debt instrument USDM1. This product is a dollar-denominated tokenized sovereign debt instrument, 1:1 backed by U.S. Treasury bonds, and natively issued on a public blockchain by a sovereign nation. USDM1 was initially issued on Stellar and is now also available on Canton and Solana.Jordan Goldman, President and COO of M1X, stated that sovereign debt is one of the largest asset classes globally, but prior to USDM1, it did not exist in a native on-chain form. The company aims to establish USDM1 as on-chain sovereign collateral and expand its use within regulated financial markets.The initial application scenario for USDM1 is domestic government aid distribution. Citizens of the Marshall Islands can receive funds via the Lomalo wallet, with payments settling in seconds, bypassing the need for traditional correspondent banking networks. M1X also indicated that its recent integration with Bank of Guam, a U.S. FDIC-insured bank, further connects USDM1 to regulated banking infrastructure. (The Block)

Multiple law enforcement agencies jointly oppose key provisions of the Clarity Act; negotiations continue

According to Crypto in America, the National District Attorneys Association, the National Association of Assistant U.S. Attorneys, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, and the National Sheriffs’ Association jointly sent a letter to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the White House Crypto Council, expressing strong opposition to Section 604 of the “Clarity Act”—the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA). Law enforcement groups argue that this provision could create regulatory loopholes exploitable by criminals for illicit activities including drug trafficking, fraud, child exploitation, sanctions evasion, and terrorist financing. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency-backed candidates achieved sweeping victories in primary elections across Maryland, New York, and Utah. Fairshake—a pro-crypto super PAC—has collectively spent over $7.6 million supporting these candidates, including $5.5 million backing Adrian Boafo, the candidate for Maryland’s 5th congressional district. Miller Whitehouse-Levine, founder of the Solana Policy Institute, warned that August 7, 2026, may be the final window for Congress to pass cryptocurrency market structure legislation. He stated that the industry is willing to make limited revisions to the BRCA provisions to address law enforcement concerns—but firmly opposes any fundamental changes that would weaken the core protections enshrined in the provision. Additionally, the House Financial Services Committee held a hearing on “The Future of Payments” the same day.

Solana Treasury Company Solmate's Largest External Shareholder Sues Board of Directors

RBCH, the largest external shareholder of Solana digital asset treasury company Solmate Infrastructure (SLMT), has filed a lawsuit in the New York State Supreme Court against the company's current executives and directors, accusing them of breach of fiduciary duty, misleading statements, and self-dealing.RBCH is associated with Viktor Fischer, founder and CEO of RockawayX, and currently holds approximately 22.74% of the shares in Solmate's parent company, Brera Holdings. The institution led Solmate's $300 million PIPE financing in September 2025 and committed $50 million.The lawsuit alleges that the Solmate board has engaged in multiple actions detrimental to shareholder interests, including selling shares while other investors were still in a lock-up period, signing advisory agreements favoring board-related parties, and directors Ron Sade and Keren Maimon personally purchasing approximately 2.298 million Class B shares at $4.97 per share, resulting in a roughly 20% dilution for shareholders. The plaintiff claims this transaction was illegal.Fischer stated that Solmate's performance has been severely poor, currently trading at approximately a 50% discount to its net asset value, attributing the problem to poor company management and board self-dealing. Solmate currently holds approximately 2 million SOL on its books, and its share price has fallen about 78% year-to-date, making it one of the worst-performing SOL DATs. In comparison, SOL has declined about 50% over the same period.

Analyst: HYPE and AI Tokens May Lead the Next Altcoin Season as Market Risk Appetite Returns

Hyperliquid has recently significantly outperformed the broader market. Its token, HYPE, hit an all-time high following the launch of two related ETFs in the United States. Meanwhile, European traders are accelerating their migration to the platform due to restricted access to perpetual contracts on regulated exchanges. Market analyst Michael van de Poppe stated that with Hyperliquid's continued rally and renewed interest in AI-related crypto projects, signs of improving risk appetite are emerging in the altcoin market. Hyperliquid’s expansion into tokenized stocks, commodities, and pre-IPO assets is strengthening the on-chain asset tokenization trend. He suggested that if market sentiment continues to improve, HYPE’s price could target $100 or even higher.However, Michael van de Poppe also stressed that while Hyperliquid holds a short-term advantage, Solana offers greater long-term investment certainty, transitioning from a "speculative ecosystem" to institutional-grade infrastructure. In the AI track, he noted that NEAR Protocol and Bittensor remain significantly undervalued, citing a disconnect between their fundamental growth and valuations. He pointed out that NEAR’s revenue growth potential and Bittensor’s subnet expansion could support higher valuation ranges. Additionally, he indicated that the privacy sector retains long-term demand, but fully anonymous systems face regulatory pressure. The future is more likely to be dominated by zero-knowledge proofs and compliant privacy solutions.On the macro level, Michael van de Poppe highlighted that bond yields and central bank policies remain the core drivers of the crypto market, with changes in Japanese government bond yields potentially serving as a key barometer.
