There has been a significant institutional push in the crypto market today. Twenty One Capital has added another 43,500 BTC to its crypto treasury, which indicates a growing interest in corporate crypto reserves. Meanwhile, Pyth Network has provided access to real-time Hong Kong stock prices on-chain, making Asian equities accessible to a global audience.
Additionally, eToro has introduced tokenization capabilities for U.S. stocks, ETFs, and futures, driven by increased regulatory clarity. Together, these developments illustrate the rapid integration of traditional finance with blockchain infrastructure. Let’s take a look at our Crypto News Today:
Twenty One Capital, a company supported by Cantor Fitzgerald, has amassed over 43,500 BTC, more than its predecessor had estimated. According to Bloomberg, the company has purchased close to 5,800 units of BTC using Tether, and the holder is now over 42,000 BTC, as projected previously. It has an estimated stash of approximately $5.13 billion at present market values.
Launched in April 2025, Twenty One Capital aims to build one of the largest corporate Bitcoin treasuries. The company has attracted backing from Tether, Bitfinex, and venture firm SoftBank. Strike also has Jack Mallers as its CEO, a long-time proponent of Bitcoin. Unlike some of its competitors, the firm has not engaged in debt financing, opting instead for capital contributions from partners.
A key development in its growth process concerns a planned merger with a SPAC company called Cornor Equity Partners, which will help the company go public. Tether’s initial contribution of 37,229.69 BTC marked a major step in the firm's launch strategy. With 43,500 BTC, Twenty One Capital is approaching the holdings of MARA Holdings, a Bitcoin mining firm with around 50,000 BTC.
Decentralized oracle provider Pyth Network has launched real-time, onchain price feeds for 85 of Hong Kong’s most valuable stocks. This data is now accessible across over 100 blockchains, with updates occurring every 400 milliseconds. The move aims to improve global access to Asia’s equity markets without reliance on delayed or restricted financial terminals.
The stocks covered reflect an aggregate market capitalization of more than HK$28.8 trillion ($3.7 trillion), with companies in the technology, insurance, and banking sectors. Developers and traders will have the opportunity to add live stock data to DeFi projects, trading strategies, and tokenized portfolios. Pyth Network feeds and multi-chain functionality are supported on chains like Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Avalanche.
Previously, access to Hong Kong stock prices was limited to licensed services or costly platforms. With Pyth, users gain open, permissionless access to institutional-grade equity data. This move comes after similar efforts from Centrifuge and S&P Dow Jones, which recently launched onchain S&P 500 tracking via smart contracts.
eToro has introduced tokenized trading for U.S. equities, exchange-traded funds, and futures on the Ethereum blockchain. CEO Yoni Assia said this new offering reflects growing regulatory clarity, citing the GENIUS Act in the U.S. and MiCA in the EU. This move supports eToro's vision of making global markets available 24/7.
The tokenized assets will be ERC-20 tokens, allowing 24/7 trading access beyond standard market hours. eToro has also partnered with the CME Group to launch tokenized futures. While U.S. users face ongoing regulatory hurdles, the platform expects increasing accessibility over time.
This launch comes as interest in real-world asset tokenization increases. Other platforms, such as Robinhood and Kraken, are also looking into tokenized equity products. Regulatory agencies, such as the SEC, are considering how to regulate the use of securities laws in connection with the offerings. To protect investors and ensure liquidity, Citadel Securities has also urged the SEC to apply equal treatment to tokenized assets as would be applied to traditional securities.
