TownSquare, an infrastructure provider for institutional yields and cross-chain lending brokerage services, has partnered with Native, a non-custodial automated trading infrastructure, to launch a $10 million yield-generating vault on the Monad L1. This vault will support assets including USD1, USDC, cbBTC, and MON, offering higher yields than conventional lending through trading-based yield generation. This marks TownSquare’s first collaboration with a trading-based yield manager. The partnership aims to bring real-world asset (RWA) and stablecoin institutional yields to a broader user base. Native is a close partner of Binance Wallet and Buidlpad, having previously launched vaults for BNB and wETH on BNB Chain and Ethereum—demonstrating its stability, scalability, and ability to generate yields for liquidity providers (LPs) managing tens of millions of dollars. This initiative also represents the first trading-yield vault on the Monad chain. Native already operates credit pools across multiple EVM chains with over $35 million in liquidity, achieving daily trading volumes of $50–100 million and cumulative trading volume exceeding $25 billion. Its Proactive Market Making (PMM) structure enables retail users to access institutional-grade trading yields. TownSquare previously launched a $100 million USD1 liquidity program and has raised over $16 million to date—including funding from this collaboration.
Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, announced that Bitget’s new product, RealityFi (@RealityFi_xyz), directly connects to licensed broker-dealers registered with FINRA and members of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). This enables orders to flow straight into the native order books of NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), fundamentally resolving the liquidity fragmentation and severe slippage issues plaguing existing tokenized U.S. equities products—and delivering “what you see is what you get” execution prices. The product supports 24×5 trading hours, with plans to expand to 24×7 continuous trading. Pre-market and after-hours liquidity matches that of established brokers, utilizing compliant off-market channels. RealityFi is a pure spot product—offering no leverage and zero liquidation risk. In its initial phase, over 30 U.S. equity tokens will be listed, scaling to more than 100 within one to two weeks. These will include popular stocks such as Apple, Tesla, and NVIDIA, as well as major index ETFs like SPY and QQQ. The corresponding rTokens will begin rolling out in early June.
Odaily, Li Hua, founder of Futu Holdings, addressed the new cross-border securities business rectification regulations jointly issued by eight government departments on May 22 during the company's Q1 2026 earnings call. He emphasized that this adjustment represents a unified industry-wide requirement. During the two-year rectification period, mainland Chinese clients will not have their accounts closed; only onshore deposits and purchases are restricted, while one-way selling and fund transfers out are permitted.Li Hua stated that Futu has completely suspended new account openings for mainland Chinese residents, having rejected tens of thousands of non-compliant applications over the past two years. As of the end of the first quarter, mainland Chinese clients accounted for 13% of total clients, 17% of total assets, and contributed approximately 20% of revenue. The company will actively embrace regulation, steadily advance compliance efforts, and expects the new rules will not affect its full-year target of acquiring 800,000 new clients, continuing to expand its international market presence.According to the financial report, Futu's Q1 revenue was HK$5.856 billion (up 24.7% year-over-year), while net profit was HK$831 million (down 61.2% year-over-year), primarily due to a provision of HK$1.85 billion for a proposed penalty from the securities regulator.

Odaily报道, “BTC OG insider whale” Garrett Jin has released his “Weekly Market Strategy Signal.” In his analysis, he points out that the current geopolitical situation and the trajectory of the US dollar are deadlocked: despite US strikes on Iranian-related targets, tensions in the Strait of Hormuz remain unresolved. Although US Secretary of State Rubio signaled “positive news,” the peace agreement proposed by Iran has already been vetoed by the White House.Long-term US Treasury yields continue to hover in the 5.07% – 5.18% range, reaching their highest levels in 19 years. The S&P 500 index briefly hit a new high before quickly pulling back. Garrett Jin believes that a single positive or negative catalyst is insufficient to change the market landscape. Only when at least two of the three key factors—the credit environment, Federal Reserve policy, and geopolitical conditions—converge can the market experience a substantial shift.On another front, capital expenditure in the AI sector is accelerating its shift from the United States to Asia. ByteDance plans to increase its capital expenditure to as high as $70 billion this year, while Tencent and Alibaba are also ramping up their investments. Competition in the AI arena has now escalated to the level of national competition.
Serenity, hailed as the "New Stock God," recently commented on its heavily weighted position SIVE. Ayar Labs and Wiwynn announced a partnership today, a move that could profoundly impact Sivers Semiconductors' (SIVE) efforts to drive the implementation of Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) technology at the rack level.Wiwynn services top-tier cloud providers such as Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft, and is also in talks with Google regarding TPU-related deployments. According to the reference architecture, a single rack needs to be equipped with over 512 Supernova light sources. If SIVE successfully becomes the primary laser array supplier, even a medium-scale rack deployment would bring significant revenue growth to the company.Serenity admitted that the current tri-party rack-level commercialization layout is still in its early stages, and related results have not yet been reflected in financial reports. However, this cooperation has already unlocked key pathways for the large-scale application of CPO, serving as a positive signal from the supply chain that deserves continued market attention.SIVE is currently listed on Nasdaq Stockholm in Sweden. The company is evaluating plans for a dual listing on the US Nasdaq and has not yet debuted on the US main board. The stock dropped sharply by 15.49% in the previous trading session. In response, Serenity stated that the pullback in the optical AI sector and SIVE is merely normal volatility during an upward trend, and it continues to increase its holdings.
: VanEck's tokenized U.S. Treasury fund, VBILL, has officially launched on the DeFi lending protocol Euler. The fund is issued and tokenized by Securitize. Investors can now use tokenized Treasury bonds as collateral for on-chain lending and liquidity operations, while meeting compliance restrictions.This move reflects that DeFi protocols are accelerating their transition towards institutionalization and compliance to attract traditional financial capital into the on-chain market. Data shows that the market size of tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds has surpassed $15 billion, growing approximately 150% over the past year. Traditional asset management giants such as BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and Janus Henderson have all launched on-chain treasury or money market products.Euler has previously integrated Securitize's DS Protocol to support the inclusion of tokenized securities with investor qualification restrictions and transfer rules into its lending market. DeFi protocols like Aave are also expanding into institutional-grade RWA businesses.Institutions estimate that the market size for asset tokenization could reach $18.9 trillion by 2033. A Securitize executive stated that as traditional financial institutions enter the crypto space, DeFi protocols must find a balance between openness and compliance requirements. (CoinDesk)

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recommended the "The Interfold" project in a post, stating that more people should learn about Interfold. It is a general implementation version of the MACI (Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure) concept he has repeatedly called for over the past decade. Essentially, this project is a privacy protocol optimized for scenarios such as voting and secret auctions, allowing more people to pay attention to and understand this technological advancement.Vitalik also stated that the core mechanisms of Interfold include generating threshold encryption keys, users submitting votes on-chain with ZKP eligibility proofs, performing arbitrary computations within Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) followed by threshold decryption. This enables unconditional voter anonymity, Ethereum-level censorship resistance, and ensures correctness through ZK over FHE, among other strong security guarantees. The main limitation at present is the high cost of complex computations (such as multiplication operations); only additive vote counting is mature. Optimizations based on slashing are being advanced, with a long-term goal of implementing obfuscation techniques to eliminate reliance on M-of-N committees.
