Odaily reported that Computershare, the global leading stock transfer agent and partner to most S&P 500 companies, has officially announced an in-depth collaboration with the digital asset platform Securitize. The partnership marks a strategic move into the tokenization of equities, supporting US-listed companies in issuing on-chain stock tokens. The two parties will launch issuer-supported tokens (ISTs), which American-listed companies can issue as needed. Investors holding on-chain tokenized shares will seamlessly enjoy the same voting rights, legal protections, and exclusive shareholder benefits as traditional stockholders, enabling compliant integration of conventional equity with blockchain ecosystems.

Odaily reported that an exchange report indicates Bitcoin's 30-day implied volatility (IV) has fallen to around 42%, hitting a three-month low and significantly down from the peak of about 56% seen between January and February 2026. Additionally, the market has seen 26 consecutive days of negative funding rates, and option prices have declined, resulting in a clear structural asymmetry. If Bitcoin's spot price effectively rises above 80,100 US dollars—the realized price level for short-term holders—costs for short positions will increase significantly. The current options market has not fully priced in this scenario, and call options may be systematically undervalued.

According to The Block, Standard Chartered pointed out in a research report that KelpDAO rsETH suffered a theft of approximately $292 million, which then flowed into Aave, leading to a decrease in Aave deposits by $1.7 billion (about 38%) and active loans dropping by $550 million (about 31%). Nevertheless, the DeFi structure was not severely impacted. Aave founder Stani Kulechov and several parties have pledged over $300 million in support to restore interest rates and net deposits.
