What are tokenized stocks? Equities on-chain guide
Tokenized stocks put real equities on blockchains as tradable tokens, and in July 2026 the idea crossed a threshold: the DTCC, the utility that settles nearly every American share, began production trades of tokenized Russell 1000 stocks. This guide explains how stock tokens actually work, the custody chain behind them, what you do and do not get compared to owning shares, how they differ from stock perps, and what the incumbents’ arrival means.
For most of crypto’s history, tokenized stocks were a fringe product with a persistent dream: take the world’s most valuable asset class, equities, and give it blockchain properties, around-the-clock trading, instant settlement, fractional ownership, global access, and composability with DeFi. The early attempts were offshore, legally fragile, and small. The dream, however, kept attracting bigger sponsors, and in 2026 it stopped being fringe: this month the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation, the post-trade utility that custodies over $100 trillion and settles essentially every US securities transaction, began limited production trades of tokenized Russell 1000 equities, major ETFs, and Treasuries, with a full-service launch scheduled for October and a 50-firm working group of banks and brokers writing the standards.
When the institution whose entire job is recording who owns which share starts issuing those records as tokens, tokenized stocks graduate from crypto experiment to market-infrastructure roadmap. Yet the products a retail user encounters under the name tokenized stocks today are mostly not that; they are a patchwork of offshore wrappers, synthetic trackers, and broker-issued tokens with wildly different claims behind them, and telling them apart is the entire game.
This guide explains the territory properly: what a tokenized stock is and the custody chain that makes it real or fake, the three main models in the wild and what each actually gives you, the rights you do not get, dividends, votes, recourse, and how issuers handle them, the difference between tokenized stocks and the stock perpetuals often confused with them, the regulatory picture as American law catches up, and what the DTCC’s entry means for where all of this lands.
What a tokenized stock is, and the chain of custody that decides everything
A tokenized stock is a blockchain token designed to represent economic exposure to a specific equity, one token tracking one share of Apple, Tesla, or an ETF. The definition is deliberately loose, because the word represent is doing all the work, and what stands behind the token separates a genuine financial instrument from a branded bet.
The gold standard is full backing: for every token in circulation, the issuer holds one real share with a regulated custodian, and the token is a claim on that share, redeemable directly or through authorized participants, with the backing attested by disclosures or audits. This is exactly the architecture of a fiat-backed stablecoin transposed to equities, token supply on-chain, assets in custody off-chain, a redemption mechanism holding the two together, and it inherits the same integrity question: the token is only as good as the custody, the legal claim, and the attestation behind it. The moment you evaluate any tokenized stock, this is the first inquiry: who holds the shares, in what legal structure, under which regulator, and what exactly does the token entitle its holder to?
Everything else about the product flows downstream of that chain. If the shares are real and the claim enforceable, arbitrage keeps the token near the stock’s price, because gaps can be closed by minting or redeeming. If the backing is partial, discretionary, or merely promised, the token is tracking the stock on trust, and history’s failed stock-token experiments cluster precisely there. The blockchain part, which network the token lives on, is comparatively trivial; the custody chain is the product.
The three models in the wild
The tokenized stocks a user actually meets come in three broad architectures, and conflating them is the most common mistake in the category.
The first is the fully backed depository-receipt model described above, offered by regulated issuers, typically domiciled in jurisdictions with explicit frameworks, that buy and custody real shares and issue tokens against them. Holders get near-1:1 price tracking, some form of dividend pass-through, usually as additional tokens or cash-equivalent credits, and a redemption path, though often restricted to institutions or accredited users. What they usually do not get is shareholder status: the issuer or its custodian is the shareholder of record, and voting rights almost never pass through.
The second is the synthetic model: no shares anywhere, just a token whose price is maintained by collateral pools and oracle feeds, engineered to track the stock. Synthetics can be fully decentralized and accessible where backed products are not, and they carry categorically different risk: the holder owns exposure to a price feed backed by crypto collateral, with depeg, oracle, and protocol-solvency risks in place of custody risk, and no share exists to redeem under any circumstance.
The third is the broker-integrated model now emerging inside regulated finance: brokerages and infrastructure providers issuing tokenized representations of client holdings, or, in the DTCC’s version, the market’s own settlement layer optionally recording ownership as tokens. Here the token is not a wrapper around the system; it increasingly is the system’s own ledger entry in a new format, which is why the incumbents’ version, when it fully arrives, dissolves most of the category’s historic compromises at once.
What you get, and the rights you do not
Set a tokenized stock beside the share it tracks and the differences are exactly where the fine print lives.
Price exposure transfers well: a properly backed token tracks its stock closely during market hours and trades continuously after them, drifting on expectation while the reference market sleeps, then reconverging at the open. Dividends transfer imperfectly: issuers typically pass economic value through as token top-ups or credits, on the issuer’s schedule and terms, and tax treatment of that pass-through is the holder’s problem in whatever jurisdiction they occupy. Voting essentially does not transfer; the record shareholder votes, and it is not you. Corporate actions, splits, mergers, delistings, are handled by issuer policy, which is worth reading before, not after, the event. Legal recourse is the deepest difference: a shareholder sits inside centuries of securities law, while a token holder sits inside an issuer’s terms of service and the law of wherever that issuer lives, a gap that is invisible daily and decisive in a failure.
Against those losses, the gains are the blockchain properties the dream always promised. Markets that never close, settlement in minutes instead of the T+1 cycle, fractional ownership to arbitrary precision, access for anyone with a wallet in jurisdictions the brokerage system never reached, and, most distinctively, composability: a tokenized Treasury or equity can serve as collateral in lending protocols, sit in automated portfolios, and move across the same bridges and rails as any other token, acquiring uses no brokerage account statement ever had. Whether those properties are worth the surrendered rights is not a general question; it depends entirely on which holder, which jurisdiction, and which issuer.
Before the mechanics, a sizing snapshot situates the category. Tokenized real-world assets on public chains passed the tens of billions of dollars mark across 2025-26, with tokenized Treasuries and money-market funds the dominant slice and the largest asset managers as issuers; tokenized equities remain the smaller, faster-moving frontier of that stack. The Treasuries-first sequence was not accidental: institutions needed a stable, yield-bearing settlement asset on-chain before they needed tradable stock tokens, and the custody, attestation, and redemption plumbing built for Treasuries is precisely what equity tokenization now reuses. The equities wave, in other words, is arriving on rails already laid and already trusted with institutional money, which is the structural reason its 2026 acceleration looks different from the false starts of earlier cycles.
How the peg holds: mint, redeem, and the arbitrage loop
A backed token’s price discipline comes from the same loop that keeps ETF shares near their net asset value, and seeing it once explains why backing quality is everything.
Suppose a tokenized Apple share trades at a 1% premium to the stock. An authorized participant, typically an institution with an agreement with the issuer, buys real Apple shares in the market, delivers them to the issuer’s custodian, mints new tokens against them, and sells the tokens into the premium, pocketing the gap and pushing the token price down toward the share price. At a discount, the loop runs in reverse: buy cheap tokens, redeem them for shares, sell the shares, collapse the discount. As long as minting and redemption are open and frictionless to someone, deviations are profit opportunities that arbitrage erases, and the token tracks.
Every historic failure in this category is a failure of that loop. If redemption is suspended, discretionary, or restricted to a tiny club, discounts can persist indefinitely because no one can close them; if the backing is not verifiably there, the loop’s foundation is a promise; if the issuer’s jurisdiction blocks the flow of underlying shares, the arbitrage dies at the border. This is why the diligence questions are always the same three: who can mint and redeem, how quickly, and against what verified backing. A tokenized stock with an open, audited, fast redemption loop is a different asset class from one without, whatever the marketing says.
A short history of a stubborn idea
Tokenized stocks have been attempted in every crypto cycle, and the failures map the design space as clearly as the successes. The first wave came through offshore derivatives platforms and synthetic protocols around 2020-21: centralized exchanges listed tokenized equities in partnership with offshore issuers, and on-chain systems minted synthetic stocks against crypto collateral. Both halves collapsed instructively, the exchange products died with their venues or were shuttered under regulatory pressure, proving that a token is only as durable as its issuer, and the flagship synthetic protocol was crippled when the collateral backing its stocks imploded, proving that a stock tracker built on volatile collateral is a correlation bet wearing a ticker.
The second wave, from 2023 onward, learned the lessons: regulated issuers in explicit-framework jurisdictions, real custody, attestations, and institutional redemption, with tokenized US Treasuries, not equities, as the beachhead product, because a yield-bearing, stable, dollar-denominated instrument was what on-chain treasuries and funds actually wanted to hold. Tokenized Treasuries grew into a multi-billion-dollar category with the largest asset managers issuing on public chains, normalizing the plumbing that equities could then reuse. The third wave is the one running now: brokerages tokenizing client exposure, exchanges relisting equities under clearer rules, and the settlement layer itself, the DTCC pilot, absorbing the concept into market infrastructure. Each wave moved the custody chain closer to the source of truth, from offshore promise, to regulated wrapper, to the register itself, which is the whole arc of the idea in one sentence.
Tokenized stocks versus stock perps
Because crypto venues now offer both, the confusion between tokenized stocks and equity perpetual futures deserves its own section, and the distinction fits in two sentences. A tokenized stock is a claim: somewhere, in the backed models, a share exists, and the token’s value rests on that ownership chain. A stock perp is a bet: no share exists anywhere, the contract is a leveraged position whose payoff is indexed to the stock’s price through funding-rate machinery against an oracle feed, and holding it means margin, funding payments, and liquidation risk rather than ownership.
The products suit opposite users. Perps offer leverage, easy shorting, and no custody chain, at the cost of liquidation risk and zero ownership economics, a trade-off this publication’s guide to real-world-asset perps details. Tokenized stocks offer unleveraged, holdable, dividend-passing exposure that behaves like an asset rather than a position. A useful heuristic: if the product can liquidate you, it is a perp; if it claims a share stands behind it, it is a tokenized stock, and your next question is where that share is.
The regulatory picture: from offshore workaround to sanctioned rail
Tokenized equities spent years in regulatory exile because the analysis was straightforwardly hard: a token representing a share is, under American law, difficult to distinguish from the share, which makes issuing and trading one a securities activity requiring the full licensing stack. Early products responded by domiciling offshore and geofencing Americans, which capped the category at crypto-native scale.
The thaw has come from both directions. From crypto’s side, the pending market-structure framework, whose classification machinery this publication has mapped, and the year’s stablecoin and custody rulemakings are, piece by piece, defining which agency governs which token, and tokenized securities sit unambiguously with the SEC, a clarity that paradoxically helps: firms can build to a known perimeter, not an enforcement lottery. From finance’s side, the December 2025 SEC no-action letter clearing the DTCC’s tokenization path was the quiet green light for the incumbents, and the pilot now running, Russell 1000 stocks, major ETFs, Treasuries, with October’s full launch letting DTC participants elect tokenized record-keeping as a standard feature, is the loudest possible signal of where the destination lies: not offshore wrappers around the system, but the system itself, token-formatted. The 50-firm working group writing those standards, whose membership and stakes this publication has examined, is in effect deciding the plumbing every future tokenized share will run through.
For a user today, the regulatory takeaway is practical: which tokenized stocks you can legally touch depends on where you are, the products available to you differ enormously in backing and recourse, and the category is converging toward regulated issuance faster than any other corner of crypto, which means today’s product map has a short shelf life.
It also helps to name who the product serves today, because the answer differs by model. The backed offshore tokens serve access: users outside brokerage-served markets holding fractional Apple from a wallet. The synthetic versions serve the permissionless frontier, exposure with no issuer to trust and all the collateral risk that entails. The institutional rail serves the institutions themselves first, faster settlement, collateral mobility, always-on books between firms, with retail benefit arriving later and by policy choice. Tokenized Treasuries, meanwhile, quietly serve everyone in crypto already, as the reserve asset inside stablecoins, funds, and DAO treasuries. One name, four different products, four different users, which is the deepest reason blanket judgments about tokenized stocks are reliably wrong in at least three directions.
A practical corollary follows for anyone comparing venues today: the same ticker can appear as a backed token on one platform, a synthetic on a second, and a perp on a third, at three different prices, with three different risk stacks, and price comparison between them without model identification is meaningless. The habit that protects users in this category is asking, before anything else, what am I actually holding, and refusing to proceed until the answer names an issuer, a backing, and a redemption path or plainly admits there is none.
The honest assessment
Tokenized stocks are the rare crypto idea whose skeptics and believers have both been proven right in sequence. The skeptics were right that offshore wrappers offering share exposure without share rights were a niche product with fragile foundations, and several perished exactly as predicted. The believers were right that the underlying proposition, equities with instant settlement, continuous markets, and programmable composability, was too operationally superior for the incumbents to ignore forever, and the DTCC’s production pilot is that prediction cashing.
What remains uncertain is the shape of the middle: how long crypto-native issuers keep a role as the regulated rail scales, whether composability survives the compliance wrappers institutions will demand, and whether always-open equity trading proves a feature or a source of gap risk retail learns to fear. For now, the user’s checklist is stable regardless: identify the model, backed, synthetic, or broker-integrated; verify the custody chain and redemption terms; assume no votes and read the dividend policy; understand you hold an issuer’s claim, not a share; and treat after-hours prices as forecasts, not quotes. The stock market is coming on-chain either way; the only live question is how much of crypto comes with it.
The forward checklist for watching the category is short and concrete. Watch the October full launch and whether DTC participants actually elect tokenized record-keeping at meaningful scale, because opt-in infrastructure only matters if firms opt in. Watch whether the incumbent version permits public-chain composability or confines tokens to permissioned rails, the single design choice that decides whether tokenized equities join DeFi or merely modernize back offices. Watch the first major corporate action, a split or a large dividend, handled at scale across tokenized holders, the operational stress test the model has not yet publicly passed. And watch the regulatory perimeter around retail access, because the gap between institutions settling tokenized Treasuries and a phone user holding tokenized Apple with full legal protection is where the next several years of rulemaking will be spent. The direction has stopped being in question; the answers to those four items will set the speed.
One further distinction rewards attention as the incumbent rail scales: the difference between tokenized record-keeping and tokenized markets. The DTCC pilot, in its first phase, is the former, ownership records in token format, settlement modernized, while trading remains where it was; the crypto-native vision has always been the latter, tokens trading continuously on open venues, composable with everything. The two can converge, records that are tokens can, in principle, be permitted to trade anywhere, but nothing about the first guarantees the second, and the permissioning decisions made in the working group’s standards will determine whether tokenized equities become an open market structure or a closed efficiency upgrade.
For crypto, that is the difference between annexing the stock market and merely inspiring its back office; for investors, it is the difference between a new asset class and a faster settlement cycle wearing one’s clothes. Both outcomes are progress. Only one of them is the dream, and the honest report from mid-2026 is that the infrastructure has committed while the openness has not, which makes the standards documents due this fall quietly among the most consequential texts in the history of the idea.

Frequently asked questions
What is a tokenized stock in simple terms?
A tokenized stock is a blockchain token designed to track a specific equity, ideally backed one-to-one by real shares held with a custodian. It lets you hold and trade stock exposure like any crypto token, around the clock and globally, while the actual share sits off-chain with the issuer’s custodian. The token’s quality depends entirely on the backing and legal claim behind it.
Do I actually own the share?
Usually not in the legal sense. In backed models, the issuer or its custodian is the shareholder of record; you own a claim against the issuer that tracks the share’s value. That distinction rarely matters day to day and matters enormously in disputes or issuer failure, where your rights come from the issuer’s terms instead of securities law protecting shareholders.
Do tokenized stocks pay dividends?
Backed products typically pass dividend value through, usually as additional tokens or credits on the issuer’s schedule and terms; synthetic products generally do not. Voting rights almost never pass through in any model. Reading the issuer’s dividend and corporate-actions policy is essential, because splits, mergers, and delistings are handled by that policy.
What is the difference between a tokenized stock and a stock perp?
A tokenized stock is a claim on a real share held somewhere, offering unleveraged, holdable exposure. A stock perp is a leveraged derivative bet indexed to the stock’s price, with margin, funding payments, and liquidation risk and no share behind it. If the product can liquidate you, it is a perp; if it claims backing, it is a tokenized stock and the backing is what you verify.
What happens to a tokenized stock when the market is closed?
The token keeps trading. Without a live reference price, it floats on expectations of the next open, then reconverges when the real market resumes, sometimes with a gap if news broke overnight. After-hours token prices are best read as forecasts of the open rather than quotes for the stock.
Are tokenized stocks legal in the United States?
Tokenized equities are securities under US law, so issuing and trading them requires the appropriate licensing, which historically pushed products offshore and away from American users. That is changing: the SEC cleared the DTCC’s tokenization path in December 2025, the DTCC began production trades of tokenized Russell 1000 stocks in July 2026, and pending market-structure legislation is clarifying agency boundaries. Availability still depends on the product and your jurisdiction.
What is the DTCC doing with tokenized stocks?
The DTCC, the utility that settles nearly all US securities trades, launched a limited production pilot in July 2026 tokenizing Russell 1000 equities, major ETFs, and Treasuries with a 50-firm working group, ahead of a full-service launch planned for October, after which participants can elect tokenized record-keeping as a standard feature. It marks tokenization moving from crypto wrappers around the system to the system’s own ledger format.
What are the main risks of holding tokenized stocks?
Issuer and custody risk first: your token is a claim on an issuer whose backing, redemption terms, and jurisdiction define your real position. Then regulatory risk, since the rules are moving quickly; tracking risk, especially for synthetic models that can depeg; and gap risk from continuous trading against a market that closes. The blockchain itself is rarely the weak point; the wrapper is.

Bitcoin slipped below $63,000 on Monday, Aug. 3, even as falling oil prices and stronger U.S. stock futures created a more favorable backdrop for risk assets.
Summary
- Bitcoin fell below $63,000 while oil and Treasury yields declined on renewed Iran diplomacy hopes.
- Coldcard attack estimates now exceed 1,815 BTC across more than 5,000 suspected victim addresses overall.
- Spot Bitcoin ETFs lost $61.53 million last week, ending three consecutive weeks of net inflows.
- Strategy added Bitcoin’s 200 week average as prices hovered only modestly above the indicator Monday.
- A Senate delay left the CLARITY Act without scheduled floor action before the August recess.
BTC traded near $62,556, down 1.38% over 24 hours and 4.35% over seven days. It had reached a Sunday high near $63,650 before sellers regained control. Ether fell about 1.8% to $1,841, while XRP and Solana also declined.
The weakness came as investors assessed renewed U.S. talks with Iran, another suspected Coldcard attack wave, fresh spot Bitcoin ETF outflows and the absence of the CLARITY Act from Monday’s Senate schedule.
Bitcoin price fails to follow the broader relief trade
President Donald Trump canceled a planned military strike on Iran and said negotiations would seek to address Iran’s nuclear program and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude fell to about $83.28 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate dropped to $79.47.
Nasdaq futures rose about 0.8%, while S&P 500 futures gained 0.6%. Treasury prices also strengthened as lower oil reduced some of the inflation concerns created by disrupted energy supplies.
Bitcoin did not follow that move. The divergence does not prove that one crypto event caused the decline. However, it shows that lower oil and stronger equity futures were not enough to overcome the pressures already affecting digital assets.
The relative weakness is consistent with a possible rotation of speculative capital toward technology stocks. Price action alone cannot confirm that movement, but renewed activity in equities can reduce demand for crypto when traders have several competing sources of volatility.
Coldcard losses keep security fears in focus
Galaxy Research head Alex Thorn identified what he described as a “LIKELY” fourth organized wave affecting Coldcard generated addresses. His updated estimate covered 709 potential victim addresses and 448.7 BTC. Activity reached 13.8 sweeps per Bitcoin block, about 45 times the rate measured during an earlier control period.
Galaxy had previously mapped three suspected waves involving 1,367.05 BTC across 4,585 addresses. Adding the latest estimate produces a possible total of 1,815.75 BTC across 5,294 addresses, assuming the groups contain no overlap.
That total remains an onchain estimate. Coinkite, law enforcement agencies and individual wallet owners have not independently confirmed every address as a victim. Galaxy has also not established whether one attacker controlled all four waves.
The incident concerns seed generation in affected Coldcard firmware rather than a failure in Bitcoin’s network or transaction cryptography. Coinkite said some devices created seeds with less randomness than intended, allowing attackers to search a smaller range of possible keys.
Coinkite has released corrected firmware for each affected model. However, installing an update does not repair an existing vulnerable seed. Users must generate a new seed with corrected firmware and transfer their funds. The company said its investigation remains ongoing.
As crypto.news previously reported, Thorn also identified similar transactions waiting in the mempool. Some users may be able to replace an unconfirmed attacker transaction with a higher fee transfer, although success is “not guaranteed.”
ETF outflows and the CLARITY delay add pressure
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded about $61.5 million in net outflows from July 27 through July 31, based on SoSoValue data. The result ended three consecutive weeks of net inflows.
The final session caused most of the weekly reversal. Funds lost a combined $265.4 million on July 31. BlackRock’s IBIT recorded $122.7 million in withdrawals, while Fidelity’s FBTC lost $54.8 million and Grayscale’s GBTC posted $52.6 million in outflows.
The flows do not show whether investors expect further price declines. They do show that regulated fund demand weakened as Bitcoin moved closer to long term support.
Political uncertainty added another concern. Monday’s official Senate schedule included a vote on a spending measure but no action on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. The chamber’s published cloture records also showed no petition for the legislation.
As crypto.news reported, leaders would ordinarily need to file cloture by Wednesday, Aug. 5, to hold a possible Friday vote on proceeding to the bill. Such a vote would not constitute final passage.
The absence of scheduled action cannot be identified as the direct cause of Bitcoin’s decline. Still, it removes a possible near term policy catalyst while traders await a clearer Senate timetable.
Bitcoin price now faces a $60,000 support test
The supplied daily chart shows Bitcoin struggling below the $63,000 to $65,000 range. Momentum has weakened, with the relative strength index at 42.65 and below its moving average of 50.40.
The MACD histogram has also turned negative. A sustained move below $60,000 would weaken the current structure, while a recovery above $65,000 to $66,000 would provide stronger evidence that buyers have regained control.
Strategy founder Michael Saylor said the company had begun tracking Bitcoin’s 200 week moving average and its premium to that level. He said Bitcoin had remained above the average 92% of the time since the indicator became available. The percentage reflects Strategy’s calculation rather than an independent market study.
The next checkpoints are Coldcard’s technical review, Monday’s ETF flows and any Senate filing before Wednesday. Until those pressures ease, lower oil prices and stronger stock futures may remain insufficient to produce a lasting Bitcoin rebound.

Nasdaq-listed crypto treasury company ZeroStack has raised serious questions about its financial runway, warning in a recent SEC filing that “substantial doubt” exists about whether it can keep operating for the next year. The assessment marks a sharp reversal from its view just a quarter earlier, highlighting how dependent the company’s plan is on staking income and the liquidity of its Zero Gravity (0G) token.
In a Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday, ZeroStack reported $2.6 million in cash and negative working capital of $600,000 as of June 30, along with an accumulated deficit of $339.1 million. The filing also detailed a major unrealized drag from its token treasury: an $82.5 million fair value loss on digital assets and a net loss of $61.3 million for the first half of 2026.
Key takeaways
- ZeroStack now says there is substantial doubt it can continue operating over the next year, reversing its earlier “sufficient” outlook in a prior filing.
- As of June 30, the company held 75.1 million 0G tokens, valued at $15.2 million versus an aggregate cost of $163.3 million (about 91% below recorded cost).
- The company relies on staking rewards and sales of 0G tokens to fund operations, making its cash position sensitive to token price and trading liquidity.
- ZeroStack reported $3.8 million in staking revenue in the first half of 2026, but it also recorded significant losses and could not conclude that its planned funding steps fully remove going-concern risk.
SEC filing flags going-concern risk
ZeroStack’s latest filing is notable not just for its headline loss figures, but for the governance and risk signal it sends to investors. Management stated that it could not conclude its plans would be enough to eliminate doubts about whether the company can continue as a going concern over the next year.
The company’s balance sheet underscores the pressure behind that conclusion. With $2.6 million in cash and negative working capital of $600,000 at June 30, ZeroStack’s near-term flexibility appears limited. It also reported an accumulated deficit of $339.1 million, reflecting losses that have compounded over time.
Beyond liquidity, the filing shows the company is carrying a large unrealized impairment in its digital asset treasury. ZeroStack disclosed an $82.5 million fair value loss on digital assets during the period, alongside a net loss of $61.3 million for the first half of 2026.
A treasury strategy tied to 0G’s market
ZeroStack’s operating model depends heavily on 0G token performance and the token’s market depth. The company reported that it holds 75.1 million 0G tokens with an aggregate cost of $163.3 million and a fair value of $15.2 million as of June 30. Put differently, the holdings were valued about 91% below their recorded costs.
That gap matters for both accounting and funding. If the company intends to finance operations through token sales—especially during periods of weak liquidity—its ability to raise cash could be constrained even if balances appear large on paper. The company explicitly linked its funding capacity to both the 0G price and trading liquidity, according to the filing.
ZeroStack’s management also described reliance on staking rewards and token sales. In practice, staking income can provide periodic cash flow, but it may not be sufficient in periods when token markets are illiquid or when valuations fall further.
Staking revenue helps—yet the runway question remains
During the first half of 2026, ZeroStack reported $3.8 million in staking revenue. After validator commissions, the company said it earned about 6.6 million 0G tokens from staking activity.
To support expenses, ZeroStack sold nearly 4.9 million 0G tokens for $2.4 million over the same period. The filing indicates that these cash inflows—staking-related and sale-related—are central to its ability to pay forecast operating costs.
ZeroStack also said that, if needed, it could sell some of its treasury holdings. However, management’s conclusion did not fully reassure the markets: it said it could not determine that those actions would be enough to address going-concern doubts.
The tension here is straightforward. When a company’s main treasury assets have experienced steep valuation declines, the theoretical ability to raise cash by selling holdings can become less effective in the real world—particularly if market pricing and liquidity do not support the volume and proceeds management may be counting on.
Backtracking from earlier filings
Perhaps the most consequential element of the news is the reversal in ZeroStack’s assessment. In its first-quarter Form 10-Q filing, the company stated that its cash and staking rewards would be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements and obligations for at least another year.
In the most recent filing, it no longer reaches that conclusion and instead flags substantial doubt about continued operations over the next year. The shift suggests that circumstances changed—or that management’s confidence in the sustainability of its funding plan weakened as results and valuations evolved.
ZeroStack’s corporate background also provides context for how the company arrived at this point. The filing notes that the company was previously Flora Growth, a cannabis and CBD products firm. On Sept. 19, Flora announced $401 million in funding for a 0G treasury strategy, including $35 million in cash and equivalent commitments and more than $366 million in in-kind digital assets. The company later rebranded as ZeroStack and retained its Nasdaq listing.
Those details underline why investors are likely to focus on token treasury outcomes: the strategy is fundamentally designed to monetize staking and manage liquidity through sales. When 0G’s fair value diverges sharply from recorded cost, the difference can translate into both accounting losses and real constraints on financing flexibility.
What readers should watch next is whether ZeroStack provides further clarity on how it plans to balance staking, token sales, and liquidity needs—particularly given its much narrower margin for error after the “substantial doubt” disclosure. Investors will also likely track changes in 0G trading conditions, since the company’s own filings tie its funding outlook directly to token price and market liquidity.
Ripple has expanded its digital capital markets strategy. The company announced today investments in Zilo and Lucuido – two firms that are focused on developing infrastructure for tokenized funds and institutional asset trading.
The move builds on existing partnerships with both firms. Ripple did not disclose the size of either investment.
Speaking on the matter was Nigel Khakoo, SVP, Trading and Markets at Ripple, who said:
“… ZILO and Licuido provide core capabilities that are essential to further scaling this shift: regulated digital transfer agency infrastructure and liquidity for issuance and collateral mobility. This is just the beginning of the journey, and we see a substantial opportunity to bring huge efficiencies to the investment sector over the next decade.”
ZILO provides transfer agency and fund administration technology. Its systems give asset managers and custodians regulated digital records for tokenized share classes. Licuido, on the other hand, operates an FCA-regulated platform that supports the issuance, distribution, trading, and use of traditional assets as digital collateral.
Ripple plans to integrate these capabilities with its infrastructure on the XRP Ledger. The company wants institutions to issue tokenized assets, hold them in custody, move them between investors, and use them as collateral without relying on legacy systems.
Naturally, RLUSD will serve as the regulated cash component for delivery-versus-payment transactions. This structure is designed to allow the asset and payment sides of a trade to settle together on XRPL.
The investments also support Ripple’s recent push to build a broader institutional platform around tokenization, payments, stablecoins, and trading. Last month, the firm launched Ripple Mint and made an investment in compliance provider Notabene. This strengthens the infrastructure that’s available to institutions using RLUSD.
It’s also noteworthy that the company has worked with Aviva Investors, Franklin Templeton, and DBS on tokenized fund and collateral projects. Ripple said that ZILO and Licuido will help turn those individual partnerships into infrastructure that asset managers can use at scale.

ZeroStack has warned its cash position may not support operations for another year.
Summary
- ZeroStack has warned that substantial doubt exists about its ability to continue operating over the next year after reversing its earlier liquidity outlook.
- The company reported $2.6 million in cash while its 75.1 million 0G token treasury was valued about 91% below its acquisition cost as of June 30.
- ZeroStack said staking rewards and token sales remain its main funding sources, but management could not conclude those plans would remove the going concern risk.
- The latest filing comes months after CEO Daniel Reis Faria said regulatory uncertainty continued to keep larger institutional investors on the sidelines.
According to a Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday, Nasdaq-listed crypto treasury company ZeroStack said substantial doubt exists about its ability to continue as a going concern over the next 12 months, reversing the conclusion it reached in its previous quarterly filings.
As of June 30, the company reported $2.6 million in cash, negative working capital of $600,000, and an accumulated deficit of $339.1 million. During the first half of 2026, it recorded an $82.5 million fair value loss on digital assets and a net loss of $61.3 million, according to the filing.
Management said existing cash, proceeds from staking rewards, and possible sales of treasury assets are expected to support operating costs. Even so, the company concluded it could not determine that those measures would remove the substantial doubt surrounding its ability to continue operating for the next year.
ZeroStack’s 0G treasury has lost most of its recorded value
The filing showed ZeroStack held 75.1 million Zero Gravity (0G) tokens with an aggregate acquisition cost of $163.3 million. Their fair value had fallen to $15.2 million by June 30, leaving the treasury valued about 91% below its recorded cost.
The company said its operating model depends largely on staking rewards and periodic token sales, making its access to cash dependent on both the market price and trading liquidity of the 0G token.
For the first six months of the year, ZeroStack generated $3.8 million in staking revenue after earning about 6.6 million 0G tokens following validator commissions. Over the same period, it sold nearly 4.9 million tokens for $2.4 million to cover operating expenses.
Although management said additional treasury sales remain available if needed, the filing stated that those plans were not sufficient to conclude that the going concern uncertainty had been resolved.
Filing reverses the company’s earlier liquidity outlook
The latest assessment differs from the position ZeroStack presented just three months earlier.
In its first-quarter filing, the company said available cash together with expected staking rewards would be enough to meet working capital needs and other obligations for at least the following 12 months. The latest report withdraws that conclusion after a sharp decline in the value of its digital asset holdings.
ZeroStack adopted its current treasury strategy after operating for years as cannabis and CBD products company Flora Growth.
On Sept. 19, the company announced a $401 million financing package to establish a treasury focused on the Zero Gravity ecosystem. The package included $35 million in cash and cash-equivalent commitments alongside more than $366 million in in-kind digital asset contributions. Flora Growth later rebranded as ZeroStack while retaining its Nasdaq listing.
ZeroStack CEO previously pointed to regulation as another institutional hurdle
The company’s financial disclosure comes months after ZeroStack Chief Executive Officer Daniel Reis-Faria discussed another challenge facing digital asset companies: regulatory uncertainty.
Speaking to crypto.news in May, Reis-Faria said progress on U.S. stablecoin legislation had reduced one source of uncertainty for investors but had not yet convinced larger institutions to increase participation.
His comments followed a bipartisan agreement between Senators Thom Tillis and Angela Alsobrooks on stablecoin provisions in the CLARITY Act that prohibited interest-like payments resembling bank deposits while allowing activity-based rewards tied to payments and platform use.
At the time, Reis-Faria said the remaining concern was not the legislation itself but uncertainty over how regulators would implement it. Under the proposal, the SEC, CFTC and Treasury would jointly develop implementing rules within one year after the legislation became law.
JPMorgan had previously described passage of the CLARITY Act by midyear as a positive catalyst for digital asset markets, while Blockchain Association CEO Summer Mersinger said resolving the stablecoin yield debate moved comprehensive market structure legislation closer to becoming law.
Standard Chartered also estimated that allowing unrestricted stablecoin yields could redirect as much as $500 billion in bank deposits by 2028, providing context for the banking industry’s resistance during negotiations.
Company now faces both market and funding pressure
The SEC filing indicates that ZeroStack’s operating cash generation remains closely tied to the performance of the 0G ecosystem through staking income and token sales.
With the market value of its treasury declining substantially from its acquisition cost, management said future liquidity will continue to depend on available cash, staking rewards, token prices, and market liquidity.
Despite outlining those funding options, the company concluded that substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern remains in place for the coming year.
Galaxy Research head Alex Thorn warned early Monday that a fourth coordinated attack wave is likely targeting Coldcard users.
The random number generator (RNG) exploit has been linked to 1,367.05 Bitcoin (BTC) from 4,585 addresses across three confirmed waves. A verified fourth wave would push totals higher.
Coldcard Exploit Deepens as Suspected Fourth Wave Sweeps Over 380 Bitcoin
Thorn identified 218 transactions between blocks 960,778 and 960,792, moving over 380 BTC from 462 suspected victim addresses to 210 fresh destinations. Sweeps ran at 13.8 per block, roughly 45 times the pre-incident rate of 0.3.
The transactions matched the pattern of vulnerable Coldcard addresses, with some funds already swept to second-hop wallets.
“These are LIKELY Coldcard victims — they match the shape of coldcard vulnerable utxos and the elevated transaction pattern gives me high confidence they are another wave of attacks,” Thorn said.
The executive added that similar transactions remain pending in the mempool with replace-by-fee (RBF) enabled. RBF lets the sender replace an unconfirmed Bitcoin transaction with a higher-fee version. In some cases, this allows a victim to outbid an attacker’s competing transaction before either is confirmed.
Per Onchain Lens, confirmed losses stand at $88.6 million. Earlier waves drained individual holders in minutes, including one Canadian victim who lost $1.6 million.

Coldcard Destroys Remaining Vulnerable Inventory
Meanwhile, Coldcard said Sunday it halted shipments and destroyed all remaining devices carrying the flawed firmware. Satscard, Opendime, and Tapsigner are unaffected.
The patched firmware protects only newly generated seeds. Users must create a fresh seed and migrate funds. The company also told victims to keep affected devices as its legal team coordinates with law enforcement.
“We’ve also been in direct contact with the wider hardware wallet and self-custody community, including other builders, researchers, and people who’ve thought hard about this kind of failure. All have graciously offered whatever resources they could spare. We are still engaged in this outreach and are committing to work with the broader industry going forward,” the team said.
The incident has already drawn warnings from CZ about hardware wallet risk. Whether wave 4 gains confirmation, and whether pending fee races rescue funds, may decide the final toll.

Bitcoin started the week just below $63,000, with Friday’s U.S. jobs report the biggest macro event likely to determine whether the July rebound continues, though developments in Iran may take on greater significance in the coming days.
A muted rise in U.S. hiring could be the best outcome for risk assets like crypto. Such a rise would ease fears of an economic slowdown, but wouldn’t push the Federal Reserve closer to raising interest rates.
IG market analyst Tony Sycamore said a gain of around 88,000 jobs with unemployment unchanged at 4.2% would strike that balance in a “Goldlocks-type print.”
The U.S. government’s borrowing plans are another macro focus. JPMorgan strategist Jay Barry said the Treasury is likely to keep its regular debt sales unchanged, which would avoid adding pressure to interest rates. Larger-than-expected sales could raise borrowing costs for households and companies and weigh on crypto.
Traders will also watch earnings from Circle, Galaxy, Block and six bitcoin miners. BIP-110, a proposal to temporarily limit non-financial data stored on the Bitcoin blockchain, is expected to enter its required miner-signaling period.
Binance opened its August Monthly Leaderboard for Dual Investment users on Aug. 3, offering a top reward of 5,888 USDC.
Summary
- Binance will rank users by average Dual Investment subscriptions during August, rewarding the top 100.
- The first ranked participant receives 5,888 USDC through a Dual Investment subscription lasting 14 days.
- Participants need verified accounts, confirmed enrollment, and subscriptions lasting longer than three days to qualify.
The promotion runs from 06:00 UTC on Aug. 3 through 23:59 UTC on Aug. 31.
Eligible users will be ranked by their average subscription amount across Dual Investment and Dual Investment RFQ. Only subscriptions lasting more than three days will count. Binance requires participants to complete identity verification and confirm enrollment through the activity page.
Binance leaderboard favors larger subscriptions
The ranking formula multiplies each eligible subscription amount by its duration and divides the result by 30 days. Both the size and length of a position can therefore affect a participant’s place. A single large subscription made near the deadline may carry less weight than the same amount committed for longer.
The first ranked user will receive 5,888 USDC. Users in second and third place qualify for 2,188 USDC each. Rewards decline across later tiers to 68 USDC for places 71 through 100. Based on the published table, the maximum combined face value is 25,500 USDC if Binance distributes every listed reward. The exchange did not state that total directly.
In addition, the prizes are not scheduled to arrive as freely withdrawable USDC. Binance said each reward will be issued as a Dual Investment subscription lasting 14 days. Distribution is due within 14 days after the campaign closes, with Sept. 14 listed as the final delivery date.
Participants also cannot cancel or redeem a Dual Investment subscription early. Sub accounts do not receive separate rankings. Binance may reject users it believes acted fraudulently or broke the promotion rules. It also reserves the right to change, suspend or cancel the campaign.
Dual Investment can convert assets at settlement
Binance markets Dual Investment as a “high yield” structured product with Buy Low and Sell High choices. Users select a deposit asset, target price and settlement date. The settlement outcome determines whether they receive the original deposit currency or another asset.
For Buy Low, deposited funds can be converted into the selected cryptocurrency when the settlement price reaches the target condition. For Sell High, deposited crypto can be converted into a stablecoin or another currency. Binance’s official FAQ says the product does not protect principal and warns that customers may miss a better market price.
The campaign page lists BTC, ETH, SOL and BNB among Sell High deposit assets, alongside 17 other tokens. Buy Low accepts USDT, USDC, BTC or ETH. Binance advertises APRs of 15% or more, although rates can vary according to the target price, duration and market volatility.
The exchange warns that the stated APR refers to rewards in the deposit currency. It is not a forecast of fiat returns or the value of the alternate currency at settlement. Funds remain locked until settlement, limiting a participant’s ability to respond to sudden price movements.
As crypto.news previously reported, Binance introduced Dual Investment as a way to buy or sell crypto at a chosen future price while receiving rewards during the subscription period. The August leaderboard adds a ranking incentive rather than changing the product’s settlement rules.
Aug. 31 closes the Binance ranking window
Users must join the activity and maintain qualifying subscriptions during the campaign. The announcement does not disclose the number of participants, the total subscription value already committed or whether every regional Binance entity will offer the promotion. Binance states that its products may not be available in every region.
The next confirmed dates are Aug. 31, when the ranking period closes, and Sept. 14, when eligible rewards should be distributed. In related coverage, crypto.news reported that Binance is also running an $800,000 XRP campaign for eligible RLUSD users through Aug. 14. That promotion covers qualifying activity across Binance Earn, Margin and Futures.
The Smarter Web Company has increased its Bitcoin treasury by acquiring another 11.89 BTC, taking its total holdings to 2,712 BTC.
Summary
- The Smarter Web Company has purchased another 11.89 Bitcoin, increasing its treasury to 2,712 BTC.
- The latest acquisition has moved the UK listed firm to 28th place in the BitcoinTreasuries corporate Bitcoin rankings.
- The purchase comes weeks after the company repaid its Smarter Convert financing and reported holdings of 2,700 BTC.
- The company has continued building its Bitcoin reserves under its long term 10 Year Plan.
According to BitcoinTreasuries.NET, the London-listed company completed the latest purchase of 11.89 Bitcoin, lifting its corporate treasury to 2,712 BTC and moving it to 28th place in the Bitcoin 100 ranking of public companies holding the asset.
The latest acquisition follows the company’s decision last month to retire its Smarter Convert financing instrument ahead of schedule, a move that left it holding 2,700 BTC after selling part of its treasury to settle the obligation.
By adding fresh Bitcoin within weeks, the company has resumed the accumulation strategy it has repeatedly described as part of its long-term treasury policy.
Bitcoin purchase pushes holdings above July level
BitcoinTreasuries.NET said the additional purchase has increased The Smarter Web Company’s reserves by 11.89 BTC, taking the balance from 2,700 BTC to 2,712 BTC.
The update also places the company at No. 28 in the global Bitcoin 100 corporate treasury rankings, up from earlier positions it occupied as its holdings expanded through regular purchases over the past year.
In July, The Smarter Web Company announced it had repaid its $11.7 million Smarter Convert instrument nearly two weeks before maturity by selling 177.8909127 BTC at an average price of $65,762 per coin.
The company said the Bitcoin sold had originally been purchased using proceeds from the financing arrangement, which required virtually all of the subscribed capital to be invested in Bitcoin.
Following that repayment, the company confirmed it held exactly 2,700 BTC while removing the potential issuance of 7,718,551 ordinary shares linked to the convertible structure from its fully diluted capital calculations.
Bitcoin strategy continues after convertible repayment
Company chief executive Andrew Webley previously said the Smarter Convert structure served as an alternative source of funding while the firm was building its Bitcoin treasury, but added that management no longer viewed convertible financing as the most suitable option at its current stage.
According to the company’s July announcement, investment manager TOBAM and its affiliated entities supported the early repayment request, allowing the instrument to be settled before its scheduled maturity.
Although the financing arrangement has now been retired, the company said at the time that its long-term “10 Year Plan” to build a Bitcoin treasury remained unchanged. The latest purchase adds further support to that strategy, lifting the company’s holdings above the level reported after the repayment.
Earlier purchases expanded the company’s Bitcoin treasury
The Smarter Web Company has steadily expanded its Bitcoin reserves through repeated acquisitions since 2025.
In September 2025, the company appointed Coinbase Institutional as an additional Bitcoin custody partner alongside its existing custody arrangements through Coinbase Prime. At that point, it held 2,470 BTC after completing another 30 BTC purchase.
By October 2025, the company had increased its holdings to 2,650 BTC after purchasing an additional 100 BTC for approximately £9.08 million, or about $12.1 million. The company said the acquisition formed part of its long-term treasury strategy and described Bitcoin accumulation as a core element of its corporate treasury policy.
At the time, Bitcoin Treasuries ranked the company 30th among public firms holding Bitcoin. The company also reported a year-to-date Bitcoin yield of 57,718% and a quarter-to-date Bitcoin yield of 0.58% on its holdings, while its shares recorded a modest gain after the purchase announcement.
Corporate treasury position continues to climb
The latest update from BitcoinTreasuries.NET indicates that The Smarter Web Company has continued adding to its Bitcoin reserves despite using nearly 178 BTC to repay the Smarter Convert obligation only weeks earlier.
With total holdings now standing at 2,712 BTC, the company has added 12 BTC since completing the repayment and has climbed to 28th place among public corporate Bitcoin holders.
Previous company statements have described the business as the largest publicly traded corporate Bitcoin holder in the United Kingdom. It has also raised additional capital in support of treasury expansion, including a £17.5 million fundraising announced in 2025 for future Bitcoin purchases and related treasury infrastructure.
The latest purchase does not include any indication of changes to the company’s treasury policy. Instead, the updated holdings continue the accumulation plan management has consistently outlined under its 10 Year Plan while strengthening its position in the global corporate Bitcoin rankings.
Nasdaq-listed crypto treasury firm ZeroStack has told the market that “substantial doubt” exists about whether it can keep operating over the next year, according to a recent SEC filing. The warning marks a notable shift from the company’s earlier assessment, where it said its liquidity position was expected to support operations for at least another year.
In a Form 10-Q filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday, ZeroStack reported $2.6 million in cash as of June 30, negative working capital of about $600,000, and an accumulated deficit of $339.1 million. The company also recorded an $82.5 million fair value loss on digital assets and posted a net loss of $61.3 million for the first half of 2026. (Source: SEC Form 10-Q)
Key takeaways
- ZeroStack’s filing introduces “substantial doubt” over its ability to continue operating, reversing an earlier liquidity outlook.
- As of June 30, the firm reported $2.6 million cash and negative working capital of roughly $600,000.
- 0G token holdings were valued at about $15.2 million versus an aggregate cost of $163.3 million—an indicated ~91% decline relative to recorded cost.
- The business model depends on staking rewards and token sales, leaving funding levels tied to 0G price and market liquidity.
- In the first half of 2026, ZeroStack generated $3.8 million from staking revenue and sold nearly 4.9 million tokens for $2.4 million.
What the SEC filing says about liquidity
The company’s latest Form 10-Q provides a snapshot of a treasury-led model facing tightening economics. ZeroStack disclosed $2.6 million in cash at the end of the first half of 2026 and negative working capital of approximately $600,000. It also reported an accumulated deficit of $339.1 million.
Beyond headline balance sheet metrics, the filing points to major valuation pressure on the company’s digital asset exposure. ZeroStack stated it recorded an $82.5 million fair value loss on digital assets during the period covered by the report. It also posted a net loss of $61.3 million for the first half of 2026. (Source: SEC Form 10-Q)
The company’s token treasury is central to the funding story. ZeroStack holds 75.1 million Zero Gravity (0G) tokens, with an aggregate recorded cost of $163.3 million and a fair value of $15.2 million as of June 30. That puts the holdings at roughly 91% below their recorded costs based on the fair value disclosed. (Source: SEC Form 10-Q)
Staking revenue and token sales: the funding hinge
ZeroStack said it relies on staking rewards and token sales to support operations. That structure creates a direct link between the company’s runway and two market variables: the price of 0G and the ability to sell tokens with sufficient liquidity.
In the first half of 2026, ZeroStack reported $3.8 million in staking revenue. The company also stated it earned about 6.6 million 0G tokens after validator commissions. During the same period, ZeroStack sold nearly 4.9 million tokens for $2.4 million to help cover operating expenses. (Source: SEC Form 10-Q)
Management said it expects cash on hand and staking reward sales to cover forecast operating costs. The filing also indicates the company could sell part of its treasury holdings if additional funds are needed. However, the key line for investors is that management could not conclude those plans would be enough to eliminate the “substantial doubt” about its ability to continue operating. (Source: SEC Form 10-Q)
Reversal from earlier liquidity guidance
The new warning is not the company’s first liquidity assessment this year. ZeroStack’s latest stance reverses what it told investors in its previous reports.
In its first-quarter Form 10-Q, ZeroStack said it expected its cash and staking rewards to be sufficient to meet working capital requirements and obligations for at least another year. (Source: SEC Form 10-Q (Q1))
In the latest filing, the company’s conclusion becomes more cautious. While ZeroStack points to operational funding coming from staking and potential token sales, the company’s inability to rule out a going-concern risk suggests the funding mix—when measured against current balance sheet realities and valuation losses—may be less reliable than earlier estimates.
Context: 0G treasury strategy and the cost-to-fair-value gap
ZeroStack’s current identity is tied to a broader pivot into 0G-centered treasury operations. The company was previously known as Flora Growth, a cannabis and CBD products firm. On Sept. 19, Flora announced a $401 million funding plan for a 0G treasury strategy. That plan included $35 million in cash and commitments, alongside more than $366 million in in-kind digital assets. The company later rebranded as ZeroStack while keeping its Nasdaq listing. (Source: Earlier coverage on Flora Growth’s 0G treasury announcement)
From an investor perspective, the most striking element in the latest report is the gap between the recorded cost of 0G holdings and their disclosed fair value. As of June 30, the tokens were booked at an aggregate cost of $163.3 million but marked at $15.2 million in fair value, implying the portfolio’s valuation has compressed sharply relative to its initial recorded basis. That gap matters because it directly affects how much capital the treasury can generate if token sales are needed to fund operating requirements—especially if liquidity is uneven or prices remain pressured. (Source: SEC Form 10-Q)
ZeroStack’s report therefore reads less like a one-off accounting update and more like an operational stress test of a staking-and-sales model. When the fair value of the underlying treasury declines so dramatically, even steady staking inflows may not translate into enough liquidity to cover burn and obligations without meaningful downside risk from continued token sales.
Going forward, investors should watch for whether ZeroStack can stabilize cash levels through staking reward performance and token sale capacity, and whether future filings confirm that the going-concern doubt diminishes or expands—an outcome that will likely depend on 0G liquidity and price rather than on the company’s ability to generate rewards alone.
