    MANTRA | Tokenizing RWAs (@MANTRA_Chain)

    Edition 27: 22 - 28 November This week’s digital asset landscape saw major momentum across tokenization, stablecoins, and institutional adoption. Regulators in Europe and the UAE advanced frameworks for onchain finance, while new platforms from Securitize, Ondo, and WazirX highlighted accelerating innovation in tokenized markets and retail trading. Institutions continued to deepen their footprint through acquisitions, ETFs, and strategic investments, even as volatility, security incidents, and global oversight debates shaped the broader market narrative. Tokenization Securitize gained EU regulatory approval to expand operations and will launch a tokenized securities platform on Avalanche, enabling compliant issuance and trading of on-chain assets. Ondo Finance added over 100 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs to Binance Wallet, expanding blockchain-based access to traditionally off-chain equities. Stablecoins South Africa’s central bank warned that rising use of crypto and stablecoins poses financial-stability risks and announced updated frameworks to monitor circulation and cross-border flows. Institutional & Corporate Moves Paxos acquired wallet startup Fordefi for $100 million, strengthening its institutional custody stack. ARK Invest purchased $9.1 million of Circle and Bullish stock despite market declines, signaling continued confidence in crypto infrastructure. In Asia, Naver will acquire South Korea’s Upbit in a $10.3 billion merger—one of the region’s largest integrations of Web2 and Web3 platforms. Regulation & Government Global exchanges urged the U.S. SEC not to grant exemptions that could allow crypto firms to bypass listing and disclosure requirements. The UAE issued a new banking decree formalizing custody, payments, and tokenization rules to attract global blockchain firms. The SEC received additional industry letters pushing back on preferential treatment for crypto assets. Markets, Security & Payments 21Shares launched two new U.S. crypto index ETFs, and Upexi priced a $23 million private offering as tokenized treasuries gained traction. A San Francisco crypto robbery involving $11 million reignited concerns over personal security. Klarna enabled stablecoin payments via Stripe, while Cash Cloud secured a major arbitration award post-bankruptcy. WazirX launched a zero-fee trading platform to compete for retail users.

    IMO, most substantive aspect of Grayscale's SEC meeting yesterday (& today's subsequent 8k filing) is that GBTC "conversion" is being referred to as an "uplisting"... That doesn't indicate any issues w/ conversion to ETF (contrary to the below). https://twitter.com/NateGeraci/status/1724564034630906191 https://t.co/nCZ8Z1ndNO Quote [@NateGeraci](https://www.twitter.com/NateGeraci/status/1724564034630906191) > Interesting comments from ARK's Cathie Wood... > > Says rumblings that SEC may not allow Grayscale to convert GBTC into ETF. > > Could hold up timeline for launch if SEC wants to batch approve everyone. > > Not sure what to make of this (8:45 mark). > > via @kgreifeld https://t.co/oqKBIjWAU8

    ARK was first to file in latest wave of spot bitcoin ETFs... They’ve now *twice* been first to amend filing (which other issuers can just copy) in response to SEC comments. And yet it looks like they’ll have to launch at same time as everyone else. No incentive for being 1st. https://twitter.com/ericbalchunas/status/1726588765714661448 Quote [@EricBalchunas](https://www.twitter.com/EricBalchunas/status/1726588765714661448) > ARK has just updated its S-1 again, amendment #3. Semi-shocker to be honest but in a good way. The more updates to these documents the better, shows them getting this bad boys in shape for SEC approval. https://t.co/96GLGsFupS
