Wall Street just moved another step onto the blockchain.

The SEC has created a new regulatory route for tokenized US stocks, potentially opening the door for traditional equities to trade using blockchain infrastructure. We break down what the new Innovation Exemption actually allows, the restrictions attached to it and why this could be a major moment for real-world asset tokenization.

Also today, RippleX has added XRP and RLUSD support to AI-payment infrastructure compatible with the Stripe and Tempo Machine Payments Protocol, while Zcash has surged following fresh institutional interest and heavy short liquidations.

We also cover S&P Global's move to acquire blockchain security company OpenZeppelin, Bitcoin's reaction to the Federal Reserve's 25-basis-point rate increase and the FCA's latest crackdown on suspected illegal peer-to-peer crypto businesses in London.

Today's question: If regulated tokenized shares become mainstream, would you rather own traditional shares through a broker or hold blockchain-based versions of those same assets?
