Trade it. Hedge it. Collateralise it. Tokenized stocks are now live on OKX. Starting July 16, OKX Unified Tokenized Stocks spot trading opened in four batches, 24 pairs on day one, the first wave of 47 rolling out through July 22 and 28, with a trading competition on the way too. Day-one lineup (all UTC), all quoted in USDT: · 03:00, Batch 1: XMU · 06:00, Batch 2: XSPCX, XSNDK, XSKHY, XSPY, XQQQ, XNVDA, XTSLA · 07:00, Batch 3: XMRVL, XINTC, XSOXL, XGOOGL, XMSFT, XCRCL, XAAPL, XEWY · 08:30, Batch 4: XAMD, XAMZN, XMETA, XMSTR, XLITE, XAVGO, XTSM, XIWM Each asset uses an "X" prefix and tracks the price of the underlying stock or ETF in share units, 1:1 backed by real shares held with xStocks (Backed Assets) on Solana and X Layer. What makes it different: · Trades 24/7, weekends included. Outside US hours, pricing is last close plus a market estimate, so you react to earnings the moment they hit · From 1 USDT, buy fractions · No broker, no fiat conversion, no second KYC. Just the USDT in your account · Grid and DCA bots run on every pair, the same tools you use on crypto · Blue chips will soon be usable as portfolio margin collateral, so one balance works twice · Same account as your stock perps, so you can hold XAAPL spot and hedge with an AAPL perp short without moving funds · Dividends are handled automatically, converted into extra share balance, no action needed The unified layer is the part nobody else has. Whichever provider issues the underlying token, OKX consolidates it into one "share", one order book, one set of rules. Would you set a DCA bot on tokenized Nvidia or Tesla the way you dollar-cost into BTC, or does trading tokenized US stocks around the clock feel like a whole different game? #OKXTokenizedStocksLive

Washington is regulating crypto on two clocks. CLARITY cleared the Senate Banking Committee 15-9 in May, but its first Senate floor test was pushed to September. The expected cloture vote on the motion to proceed typically requires 60 votes. If it advances, debate, amendments and a final Senate vote would follow. Senate changes could send it back to the House. Outstanding discussions include ethics provisions, stablecoin rewards, DeFi and developer protections, and investor safeguards. Meanwhile, the SEC will hold an open meeting Aug 14 to consider whether to propose Regulation Crypto Assets, a tailored offering regime for certain investment contracts involving crypto assets. The key word is "propose." Any release would still go through public comment and another Commission vote before becoming final. SEC Chair Paul Atkins previously floated three possible components with illustrative thresholds: · A startup exemption potentially lasting up to four years, with up to $5M in fundraising · A broader exemption potentially allowing up to $75M over 12 months, with tailored disclosures · A safe harbor clarifying when a crypto asset is no longer tied to an investment contract The actual proposal may differ. The SEC item is also narrower than full market-structure reform. It focuses on token offerings and fundraising under existing securities law, not comprehensive rules for exchanges, custody, spot-market oversight or durable SEC-CFTC boundaries. It builds on the SEC interpretation joined by the CFTC in March, which introduced a crypto-asset taxonomy and addressed when a non-security crypto asset may become subject to, or cease to be subject to, an investment contract. That interpretation also covered airdrops, protocol mining, protocol staking and the wrapping of non-security crypto assets. The U.S. path may now develop in layers: interpretation first, SEC offering rules next, legislation later. Can that sequence provide enough certainty, or does durable market structure still have to come from Congress? #SECActsAsCLARITYWaits

Exchange OS is OKX's open trading infrastructure on X Layer, and the World Cup prediction campaign that wrapped last month was the first live market built on it. Over one 30-day stretch of that run, X Layer settled more than 136 million transactions. Not a stress test, not a projection, just real people trading through it day and night. That same infrastructure is now open for builders to launch their own markets on. Read the whitepaper: https://web3.okx.com/whitepaper/okx-exchange-os.pdf

AI demand is becoming a financing test. Nvidia has signed MOUs with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs and KKR to create independent platforms targeting over $500B of third-party capital for AI infrastructure. This is not one fund or $500B of Nvidia revenue. Final agreements remain pending. The timeline, debt-equity mix and partner commitments remain undisclosed, while the release does not specify whether Nvidia would provide any guarantees. The goal is to treat Nvidia compute as an infrastructure asset designed to generate long-duration, usage-linked revenue, helping customers finance GPUs and data centers. Intel is taking a different route. It proposed a $15B underwritten common-stock offering for general corporate purposes, including capex and working capital. Underwriters may purchase another $2.25B within 30 days, taking the potential gross offering size to $17.25B. At the time of the announcement, Intel had not priced the offering, so the final share count and dilution remained unknown. · Nvidia channels outside capital toward customer demand · Intel raises equity for its own balance sheet and expansion · One model raises questions about utilization and credit quality, the other about dilution and execution Financing is only one bottleneck. The IEA estimates grid constraints could delay around 20% of global data-center capacity planned for construction by 2030. Power access, equipment, construction and approvals still determine how quickly funded projects become usable compute. If GPUs are financed like long-duration infrastructure, utilization, upgrade cycles and residual value matter as much as headline demand. Both stocks fell on the day, while the market continued to debate whether capital access alone can support current AI valuations. For AI-linked crypto, more financed compute could expand capacity, while attention may increasingly shift toward whether real usage and revenue follow. Which matters more for the next AI cycle: access to capital, or proof that the compute can pay for itself? #Nvidia500BAIInfra

Two blocks in eight hours. Bitcoin’s main chain kept moving. The BIP-110 minority chain emerged at block 961,632 when enforcing nodes rejected non-signaling blocks. It inherited Bitcoin’s full mining difficulty but only a fraction of its hashrate. Around the split, two-week signaling stood at 2.53%, far below the 55% threshold. That threshold is also disputed. BIP-110 uses 55%, versus the 95% generally used by standard BIP9 deployments for permanent consensus changes. The proposal would restrict large data payloads and some script structures for 52,416 blocks, about one year. · Backers say it protects payment blockspace and reduces node burden · Critics say fee-paying users should determine how blockspace is used · The restrictions could affect Taproot-based designs such as BitVM and temporarily constrain future soft-fork paths Even if activated, BIP-110 would not eliminate arbitrary data. Payloads could still be split or structured differently, making it a restriction rather than a ban. If activated, UTXOs created before the activation height would be grandfathered. BIP-110 does not change Bitcoin’s 21 million supply cap or issuance rules. Its “Complete” status means the authors consider the specification finished and recommend adoption. It does not indicate network approval or deployment. The mechanics now matter. Mining difficulty adjusts every 2,016 blocks, leaving a low-hashrate minority chain at risk of remaining stalled for an extended period. Among chains a node considers valid, Bitcoin selects the one with the most cumulative proof of work. During the mandatory-signaling window, BIP-110 nodes exclude non-signaling blocks from that choice, while standard nodes continue following the dominant-work chain. The lack of replay protection also introduces transaction risks on the minority chain. This is less a verdict on inscriptions than a live test of how Bitcoin reaches consensus. What does this episode reveal about where that consensus forms: through code, hashrate, or broader ecosystem adoption? #BIP110ForkStalls
