Binance announced on September 10 that the project will focus on simplifying how these new types of assets are managed and exchanged.

Franklin Templeton will be responsible for ensuring these tokens follow legal requirements and function like existing financial products. Meanwhile, Binance will provide access to global users and trading infrastructure.

Roger Bayston, who leads digital asset efforts at Franklin Templeton, said the goal is to make this type of tokenized finance more practical for everyday use, especially for settling trades and building portfolios.

He also stated that partnering with Binance will enable them to create tools that meet the needs of global financial markets.

Sandy Kaul, Franklin Templeton’s head of innovation, shared her view that tokenization has become more accepted in traditional finance. Rather than replacing old systems, Kaul said blockchain could help improve them.

She pointed to the firm’s Benji Platform as an example of how tokenization can be used in a regulated way while still offering new benefits.

Recently, a group of international regulators and exchange associations asked the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to take a stance on tokenized stocks. What did they say? Read the full story.

Man Who Lost Nearly $1,000,000,000 In Bitcoin in Landfill Launches Bid To Tokenize 8,000 BTC Stash https://earlybirdsinvest.com/man-who-lost-nearly-1000000000-in-bitcoin-in-landfill-launches-bid-to-tokenize-8000-btc-stash/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/man-who-lost-nearly-1000000000-in-bitcoin-in-landfill-launches-bid-to-tokenize-8000-btc-stash/#respond Thu, 07 Aug 2025 01:58:44 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/man-who-lost-nearly-1000000000-in-bitcoin-in-landfill-launches-bid-to-tokenize-8000-btc-stash/

A man from the United Kingdom who accidentally misplaced his crypto wallet containing a $1 billion stash of Bitcoin (BTC) is launching a new bid to tokenize his missing stash.

In a post on the social media platform X, James Howells a man who mistakenly threw away his crypto wallet containing the BTC nearly a decade ago says he’s not giving up despite being rejected numerous times by the Newport City Council to launch a search to find the coins.

“For over 12 years, I tried everything to engage with Newport City Council: public proposals, percentages, mediation, legal action, and a formal $25 million offer. $1 Billion and they ignored it all. No response. No logic. No leadership. They want me to give up, but I am done asking for permission.”

Howells says he’s going to tokenize the entire missing wallet, which contains 8,000 BTC, by launching a new blockchain called Ceiniog Coin (INI) that is set to launch in late 2025.

“I’m tokenizing the entire wallet – 8,000 BTC into 800 billion Ceiniog Coin (INI) 1:1 satoshi value match.

  • • Built on Bitcoin
  • • Powered by OP_RETURN
  • • Integrates with Stacks, Runes, Ordinals
  • • Launching Late-2025

To the established and distinguished gatekeepers who blocked me for over a decade: You can block the gates. You can pack the courts. But you cannot block the blockchain. Crypto already won. Ceiniog is coming and your world is collapsing.”

According to previous reports, Howells offered the city council $70 million in 2021 for permission to search the landfill to recover his hard drive, but was rejected due to environmental concerns.

In February, the city council announced that the landfill was formally closing down sometime during the 2025-2026 fiscal year.

BTC is trading for $115,429 at time of writing, a 2% gain on the day.

Mercado Bitcoin, one of Latin America’s largest crypto exchanges, announced plans to tokenize $200 million worth of real-world assets (RWAs) on the XRP Ledger.

Key Takeaways:

  • Mercado Bitcoin will tokenize $200M in fixed-income and equity assets on the XRP Ledger.
  • Ripple’s move comes amid forecasts of a $19 trillion tokenized asset market by 2033.
  • Calls for clear U.S. tokenization rules are growing as major players push into RWAs.

The move will bring tokenized fixed-income and equity instruments onto XRPL, as the exchange looks to tap into the growing market for digital versions of traditional assets, according to a statement released by Ripple on Friday.

“Mercado Bitcoin’s integration with the XRPL shows how public blockchain infrastructure is being trusted by institutions and is becoming a reliable foundation for bringing regulated financial products to the market,” said Silvio Pegado, Managing Director, LATAM at Ripple.

Push for Tokenization Rules Gains Steam in US Market

Ripple’s announcement follows a Boston Consulting Group report forecasting the tokenized RWA sector to reach a market capitalization of $19 trillion by 2033, underscoring surging interest from both crypto-native and traditional financial players.

The deal highlights momentum across the industry as asset managers and blockchain firms ramp up efforts to secure regulatory frameworks for tokenized assets, especially in the United States.

Earlier this week, Ondo Finance, a decentralized finance protocol, acquired Oasis Pro, a regulated trading platform specializing in digital securities settlements, to deepen its footprint in the RWA market.

Meanwhile, Centrifuge, another blockchain firm focused on real-world assets, unveiled plans to tokenize the S&P 500 index, offering decentralized access to a basket of America’s top publicly listed companies.

The rush into tokenized RWAs has also attracted attention from the biggest names in finance.

In January, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink publicly called on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to approve tokenization of stocks and bonds, arguing it could improve market efficiency.

Last week, SEC Chairman Paul Atkins told CNBC that the “rules have not been clear” when it comes to regulating digital assets in the United States and hinted at the “imminent” boom in tokenization as a whole.

Atkins claimed that tokenization is “the next step” in order to have “much more efficiency” across markets.

Ripple Drops Cross-Appeal Against SEC to Resolve Case

Last month, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse revealed the company will withdraw its cross-appeal against the SEC, adding that the regulator is also expected to drop its own appeal.

The announcement followed a U.S. district court decision rejecting a joint request from Ripple and the SEC to reduce Ripple’s $125 million civil penalty and overturn the ruling that classified Ripple’s institutional XRP sales as securities transactions.

In her ruling, Judge Analisa Torres noted Ripple’s readiness to “push the boundaries” of the earlier summary judgment, suggesting a risk of future violations.

Ripple’s chief legal officer, Stuart Alderoty, said the firm faced a choice between dropping the appeal or continuing to contest the finding.

He emphasized that regardless of the decision, “XRP’s legal status as not a security remains unchanged,” and assured that Ripple’s business operations would continue as usual.

[PRESS RELEASE – Dubai, UAE, May 6th, 2025]

MultiBank Group, the world’s largest financial derivatives institution, has signed a historic $3 billion tokenization agreement MAG Lifestyle Development, the leading real estate developer in the UAE, and Mavryk, a leading blockchain innovator, marking the largest real-world asset (RWA) tokenization initiative globally to date. The initiative highlights the imminent launch of $MBG, the utility token at the core of MultiBank’s next-generation digital finance ecosystem.

The partnership will bring MAG’s high-value real estate developments — The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Dubai, Creekside, which is part of the Keturah Resort, and Keturah Reserve — onto the blockchain, making them available to global investors via MultiBank.io’s fully regulated RWA marketplace. Once launched, holders of the RWA assets will be able to earn yield distributed daily on the MultiBank.io platform.

The $MBG token will power access, staking, fee payments, and platform engagement, positioning it as the infrastructure layer behind institutional-grade digital asset offerings.

As part of the agreement, MAG will provide its premium real estate inventory for tokenization, while Mavryk will deliver the blockchain infrastructure to support on-chain asset issuance and DeFi integrations. MultiBank Group will oversee regulatory compliance, secondary market liquidity, and platform governance — all reinforced by the $MBG token’s multi-layered utility.

“This isn’t just a real estate deal — it is a flagship use case for the $MBG token. By enabling seamless access to $3B in tokenized property, MultiBank becomes the bridge between regulated finance and next-generation investment infrastructure. This is how we make Web3 real.” said Zak Taher, Founder and CEO of MultiBank.io.

Talal Al Gaddah, Senior Executive Vice Chairman of MAG, said: “At MAG, we have always been driven by excellence and a passion for shaping the property landscape of tomorrow. Partnering with MultiBank Group marks a milestone in broadening access to high-value developments and unlocking liquidity via blockchain, while preserving uncompromising standards of transparency and stakeholder protection.”

Alex Davis, Founder and CEO of Mavryk, commented “This collaboration represents a paradigm shift in how real-world assets are accessed and traded. By leveraging our advanced tokenization and DeFi infrastructure, we are transforming landmark developments into borderless, liquid investment opportunities. Together with MAG and MultiBank Group, we are laying the technological foundation for a transparent, scalable future where institutional-grade assets are available at the click of a button.”

With a buyback-and-burn model tied to platform revenues and staking rewards designed to incentivize long-term engagement, MultiBank Group provides tangible value for both retail and institutional users. From discounted fees and VIP tiers to launchpad access and real-world asset exposure, the $MBG token is engineered to reward participation and drive ecosystem demand.

The initial tokenization of $3 billion is just the beginning. The platform is built to scale up to $10 billion in assets, setting the stage for a new era of programmable ownership and compliant digital investing — with $MBG at its foundation
