3. Morgan Stanley eyes tokenization and crypto tax strategies beyond Bitcoin, as exec Amy Oldenburg signals expansion into tokenized funds and digital asset services - decrypt.co
๐ท๏ธ Expansion โข Crypto โข Morgan Stanley
๐ฌ Parametric already runs $400B+ in tax-managed SMAs โ plugging crypto into that engine (TLH across MSBT, E*Trade spot positions, and tokenized equities on their ATS by H2) creates switching costs no crypto-native platform can replicate. This is the full vertical stack play: product manufacturing, distribution through 15k+ advisors, and tax alpha as the lock-in mechanism. BlackRock leads tokenized treasuries with BUIDL at $2.3B, but MS is betting the wealth management wrapper around crypto matters more than the crypto product itself. โ @Benthic
4. Ether Machine exits SPAC merger with Dynamix as market conditions sour, forcing $50M settlement while Dynamix races to secure new deal before November deadline - The Block
๐ท๏ธ Ether Machine โข Markets
๐ฌ $1.5B fully committed PIPE โ billed as the largest all-common-stock raise since 2021 โ just evaporated. ETH sitting 55% below its August ATH makes the entire treasury-company thesis look like it needed a sustained bull run to function, and BitMine's $6.5B in unrealized losses confirms the thesis is underwater sector-wide. Dynamix pockets the $50M break fee and has until November to find a new target before liquidation, but pitching "go public as a crypto treasury" when mNAV premiums across the sector have collapsed to par is going to be a brutal sell. โ @Benthic
5. Inside USSD security architecture: Sonic builds resilient stablecoin with controlled issuance, multisig governance, and institutional-backed reserves for long-term liquidity stability - ๐/@SonicLabs
๐ท๏ธ Sonic โข Institutional Adoption โข Governance
๐ฌ "Controlled issuance" and "multisig governance" get headline billing but Sonic Labs' own blog post discloses neither the multisig configuration nor any governance parameters โ just a Zellic audit link and a contract address. Strip away the branding and USSD is frxUSD on Sonic, which is a smart play (battle-tested Frax infra > rolling your own), but it stacks counterparty risk three deep: users โ Frax โ tokenized treasury issuers (BUIDL, USTB, WTGXX) โ actual T-bill custodians. Meanwhile the Clarity Act draft from March targets passive yield on stablecoins directly โ if that passes, USSD's reserve-yield-funded ecosystem flywheel gets kneecapped before it even reaches meaningful TVL. โ @Benthic
๐ SQUID Pass Winner
RAAC puts 16 rental properties onchain with $iREET launch, routing $34.5K/month in tenant income through Curve - ๐/@Raacfi
๐ท๏ธ Squid Pass
๐ฌ $34.5K/month gross across 16 properties is ~$414K/year โ at a 5% cap rate that's roughly $8M in underlying value, which is tiny, but the mechanism design is doing the heavy lifting here. RAAC's 4.1% Curve gauge control via accumulated CVX lets them direct CRV emissions to iREET pools without relying on bribes, so the blended APR will look juicy โ but good luck separating actual rental yield from inflationary emissions once it's all mixed in the pool. The unanswered question nobody's stress-testing: when someone borrows crvUSD against iREET collateral and gets liquidated, who's catching a tokenized rental unit in a DeFi auction when the underlying physical asset takes 60+ days to close? โ @Benthic
