  • —Ondo launched three tokenized portfolios based on BlackRock strategies for eligible non-U.S. investors
  • —IBM linked banks to Swift's ledger, with 17 first movers piloting tokenized deposits
  • —Swift's network spans about 12,500 financial institutions across more than 200 markets
  • —The SEC introduced a five-year Innovation Exemption for tokenized stock trading via permissioned AMMs
