⭐ 5 Things You Shouldn’t Miss

🐸 Today belongs to the memecoins. Memes completely took over Binance’s top gainers list: $NEIRO.X ( ▲ 2.8% ) , $BONK.X ( ▲ 9.42% ) , $WIF.X ( ▼ 9.06% ) , $BOME.X ( ▼ 6.6% ) , $TURBO.X ( ▼ 4.39% ) ,... all pumping hard. Upbit dropped a listing announcement and $MOODENG.X ( ▼ 2.23% ) instantly surged +58%. Meanwhile, the broader market is showing signs of recovery, $BTC.X ( ▼ 1.83% ) even flirted with $110K earlier today.

💸 H1 2025: VC tokens everywhere, but retail’s getting burned. So far, 56 VC-backed tokens listed this year. 80% launched at FDV $50M–$1B. Only 3 hit $1B+. VCs usually get in early at FDVs around $20M–$100M. By the time they unlock, prices have often crashed. Retail buyers are once again providing exit liquidity for VCs, just like in 2024.

📦 Coinbase just acquired Liquifi, a platform that automates token management - from vesting schedules to compliance workflows like taxes. Now Coinbase can support projects before they list → similar to Binance’s Launchpad model. This lets Coinbase compete directly with Binance and OKX.

⚠️ OpenAI issued a rare public statement: They do NOT support any tokenized shares of the company. This comes after Robinhood announced it’s offering tokenized versions of over 200 major US stocks - including OpenAI and SpaceX - to European investors. These are blockchain-based derivatives, not real stocks. Be cautious!

🏛️ Trump’s crypto empire hits $620M, now ~10% of his $6.4B net worth. Key pieces: WLFI DeFi project with $390M from token sales, $2B+ in token value + Stablecoin $USD1.X ( ▲ 0.02% ) with $100M profit + Ties to Justin Sun + $TRUMP.X ( ▼ 4.41% ) memecoin + Bitcoin mining play. Trump’s not just supporting crypto, he’s cashing in big.

🌐 Internet Capital Market 2.0: When Traditional Stocks Went On-Chain

July 2025 started with a bang: Robinhood, Kraken, Bybit, and Gemini all rolled out tokenized stocks, bringing Wall Street onto the blockchain.

And we’re not talking small players. Here’s who joined the race:

  • Robinhood: Stock Tokens

  • Kraken & Bybit: via xStocks

  • Gemini: Tokenized Equities

People are now calling this trend “ICM 2.0” - a new version of Wall Street, but fully on-chain. These tokenized stocks trade 24/7. No brokers needed

→ So now retail investors can access stocks like altcoins
→ That means more liquidity and more demand for L1 tokens like SOL and ETH.

The line between TradFi and DeFi is blurring fast, and it’s a huge boost for the RWA (real-world assets) narrative.

1️⃣ Robinhood Tokenized Stocks & Onchain Finance

Robinhood just made a bold move: It’s rolling out tokenized US stocks & ETFs on Arbitrum, starting with EU users via @RobinhoodApp_EU.

Key details:

  • EU users will soon be able to trade 200+ tokenized US stocks and ETFs, with dividends paid directly

  • 0% trading fees, supports dividends

  • Fully tradable in-app, 24/5 to start - moving to 24/7 on Robinhood Chain

  • Starting with private companies like OpenAI and SpaceX

  • Rumors of this collab were already spreading over the weekend — and helped push ARB token up 17%

CEO Vlad Tenev even demoed a trade of tokenized OpenAI stock on Arbitrum. Robinhood Chain is their new L2 (or L3) built with Arbitrum, optimized for:

  • Real-world asset tokenization (RWA)

  • 24/7 trading

  • Seamless bridging

  • Self-custody

More big updates from Robinhood:

  • Re-enabled $ETH and $SOL staking in the US

  • Launched AI-powered Robo-Advisors (Cortex)

  • Product upgrades: higher cash rewards, credit card cashback

  • EU users now get Perpetual Futures via Bitstamp

  • Introduced USDG, their native stablecoin

Robinhood isn’t just a brokerage anymore. It’s quietly becoming a full-on crypto + RWA super app. It’s all happening just as Western regulators ease up on crypto policy in 2025.

However, like I said before, early on July 3, 2025, OpenAI released a public warning after noticing that some brokers were offering tokenized shares of OpenAI on blockchain platforms.

Later, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev explained that the tokenized OpenAI shares came from ownership held by a company that has invested in Robinhood, and invited other private companies to tokenize through them as well.

The move has raised red flags:

  • Where are these private shares coming from?

  • Can platforms really tokenize pre-IPO companies like OpenAI and SpaceX?

2️⃣ Kraken & Bybit Offer Tokenized US Stocks via xStocksFi

Kraken and Bybit are teaming up with xStocksFi to bring tokenized US equities to non-US users.

Here’s how it works:

  • Stocks are issued as SPL tokens on Solana, in partnership with BackedFi

  • Plans for multi-chain expansion are already in motion

  • Self-custody and 24/7 withdrawals are supported — unlike traditional CEXs that only offer 24/5 access

And it’s DeFi-ready: You can use these stock tokens directly inside apps like Raydium, Jupiter, Kamino, and Byreal

Initial launch includes:

And about dividends: xStocks auto-reinvests them so your token balance increases over time, instead of paying out in cash.

(Note: this detail isn’t officially confirmed yet, will update after further checking.)

One key limitation: xStocks gives you price exposure only, you won’t get shareholder rights like voting or cash dividends. Still, it’s a major step toward blending TradFi assets into onchain DeFi ecosystems.

However, the crypto community has raised concerns about Backed Assets, the company behind xStocks. Some claim the team previously raised $30 million for a project that was later abandoned.

3️⃣ Gemini Tokenized Stocks with GTS / dShares™

Gemini also entered the tokenized equities game with GTS (Gemini Tokenized Stocks) - built as ERC-20 tokens on Arbitrum, in partnership with DinariGlobal.

The first tokenized asset is MicroStrategy ($MSTR ( ▲ 0.43% ) ) and yes, they plan to expand to more stocks, ETFs, and other blockchains soon.

Key features:

  • Fractional ownership of stocks

  • Currently EU-only access

  • Full onchain experience on Arbitrum

This is part of Gemini’s broader dShares™ product line, as tokenized finance picks up serious momentum across the board.

More assets coming soon, TradFi is going onchain.

4️⃣ Tokenized Stocks on Chain: Good or Bad for Crypto?

Bringing real-world stocks on-chain sounds bullish, but it’s a double-edged sword.

The Upside:

  • Could attract TradFi money into crypto

  • Boosts demand for infrastructure tokens like SOL and ETH

  • Improves overall market liquidity

The Risks:

  • May divert attention away from pure crypto altcoins

  • Could shift market dynamics

  • Platforms like Hyperliquid might face pressure if users start preferring tokenized stock trading

For DeFi users: This could be a huge unlock, expanding DeFi’s asset base and connecting traditional finance to decentralized protocols. But make no mistake, regulatory hurdles still stand in the way.

🔥 If ETH Surpasses $3.000, We’ll Enter a True Bull Market' Phase

If it feels like something big is brewing in the Ethereum ecosystem… you’re not wrong.

The past few days saw a cluster of catalysts all pointing toward one thing: ETH is quietly building momentum and it might be the signal the whole market’s been waiting for.

We’ll explore what’s really happening with ETH right now:

  • Why $3,000 is the bull market trigger

  • What the charts are telling us

  • How ETF inflows and new altcoin approvals could fuel the rally

  • And how a newly launched Ethereum foundation is literally designed to push the price higher

1️⃣ LD Capital: ETH $3,000 is the Bull Market Trigger

On July 3, JackYi, founder of LD Capital, shared a bold prediction:
The current volatility in crypto is almost over, and a real bull market could be just around the corner.

But it all comes down to Ethereum.

JackYi believes that if ETH breaks above $3,000, it won’t just excite investors, it’ll officially mark the start of a true bull run across the entire crypto and blockchain space.

He warned that we’ll still see sharp price swings, what he called "missile attacks" but those won’t shake the long-term upward trend.

He’s also bullish on the Ethereum ecosystem overall. Why? Because macro conditions are turning favorable.

With expectations growing around potential Fed rate cuts, risk-on assets like crypto are set to benefit, especially ETH.

JackYi’s take: “Patient investors will be rewarded.” (of course 😁)

If he’s right, $3K isn’t just a price level, it’s the gateway to the next crypto cycle.
