This week's theme: Wall Street's toolkit is shrinking to wallet size. A prime broker for Hyperliquid, options with no liquidations, strategy funds anyone can launch, a share of a real GPU from $100.

9 early-stage projects, from a broker that hides your wallet from the market to credit lines for AI agents.

EQX Labs unveiled tokenized US stocks issued natively on Hyperliquid. The first 11 stocks and ETFs, such as SPY and NVDA, will soon trade 24/7 on its order book.

Each token is backed 1:1 by real shares held at Alpaca, StoneX or Clear Street. EQX charges nothing to create, redeem or hold tokens and takes no cut of dividends; it earns from its share of Hyperliquid trading fees. Dividends are reinvested for now, and holders can send voting instructions by signing with their wallet.

The issuer is a BVI company with a separate portfolio for each ticker, owned by an independent Cayman trust rather than by EQX Labs.

StarkWare opened OffMarket to the public, a privacy app that lets people trade on Polymarket without linking positions to their known wallets.

Orders still fill on Polymarket at the same prices. Funds sit in Starknet's shared privacy pool, which holds about $1.5M across 17,000 deposits, and deposits are capped at $1,000 USDC per account for now. The app is non-custodial and follows Polymarket's geo rules, so US users are blocked. A compliance firm holds a master viewing key for court and regulator requests.

Trade size and timing can still reveal a trader. OffMarket is not a Polymarket product; it runs through Polymarket's verified builder program.

Polygon Labs completed its Coinme acquisition, turning its Open Money Stack into a US-regulated payments platform that covers 48 states.

Coinme brings 37 state money transmitter licenses, 11 exemptions and FinCEN registration as a money services business. The deal is part of a $250M purchase announced in January that also included wallet firm Sequence. Open Money Stack ties fiat on- and off-ramps, wallets, cross-chain routing and stablecoin settlement into one integration.

Tazapay, Mesh, Toku and Kira are among the first customers, using it for cross-border payments, on-ramps, stablecoin payroll and US dollar access.

Richard Heart was reportedly detained in an Istanbul dawn raid, Turkish outlets Sözcü, Karar and Takvim said, describing a joint intelligence and police operation.

Heart, legal name Richard James Schueler, has been on an Interpol Red Notice since December 2024, issued at Finland's request over tax and assault cases. Reports list 53 Rolex and 11 Patek Philippe watches, firearms and cash, with cash estimates from about $600K to $4M. A woman named as his wife was also detained. Turkish officials have not confirmed the arrest publicly.

The SEC case against Heart was dismissed in 2025. HEX was down about 29% on the day, per CoinGecko.

Nine early-stage projects that hit our radar, real products rather than memecoins. The theme: tools that used to belong to a Wall Street desk are being rebuilt for one person with a wallet. A prime broker for Hyperliquid, a terminal for ten perp venues, a trading screen for Hyperliquid's new prediction markets, options with no liquidations and strategy funds anyone can launch. Further down the stack, GPU financing from $100, repo-style credit on Bitcoin and loans for AI agents. Follower counts are small on purpose, you are seeing these early. With a link to each.

1/ HyperLink (Prime Brokerage)

Hyperliquid built the exchange, HyperLink is building the broker. It pools the volume of all its users plus its own staked HYPE to unlock VIP fee tiers, and routes orders under its own address, so the market sees HyperLink, not your wallet. Raised $2.5M from Alliance, North Island VC and others after routing $254M in a single month. Still invite-only.

2/ Liquidiction (Prediction Markets)

Hyperliquid now runs its own prediction markets, and Liquidiction is a trading screen built just for them: sports, crypto and stock markets from deployers like Outcome and trade.xyz, with live odds and order books in one place. It is non-custodial and trades from the Hyperliquid balance you already have, so there is nothing new to deposit. Tails let you back another trader's call in one click, and a mobile web app went live on October 1.

3/ Taba (Trading Terminal)

Ten perp DEXs, from Hyperliquid to Backpack and Pacifica, in one account and one trade screen, with up to twelve charts on a wall and a journal that writes itself from your fills. Its market data pages (funding gaps between venues, whale trades, liquidations) are free with no account needed. Did $2M in volume in the first few days of its private beta.

4/ HEAT (Options)

Options trading built around the chart: pick a direction, drag a strike and see what you make if price ends there. Quick mode is just Up, Down or Volatile, custom mode offers spreads and straddles. Every trade is a debit spread, so there is no margin and no liquidations. Went live on October 13, executing on Derive.

5/ functionSPACE (Range Markets)

Prediction markets ask yes or no. functionSPACE prices a number across its whole range: where a box office opening weekend will land, how many fantasy points a player will score. Apps plug into the same liquidity, and the first three (cultureSPACE, fanspace, propspace) are taking waitlist signups. Came to Arbitrum on October 5, after a $1.7M pre-seed led by Maven 11 and Blockwall.

6/ Tango (Strategy Vaults)

A marketplace where traders turn their strategies into vaults that anyone can deposit into: active stock trading, covered calls on ETH, lending on Aave and Morpho, DEX liquidity. Smart contracts only let the capital move the way the strategy was set up, and creators earn fees as their vaults grow. Live since October 6, access by invite code.

7/ Silicon Exchange (Compute Finance)

Own a share of a real GPU. Each deposit mints shares in the hardware, and holders are paid monthly from the rent. The first vault is one node of eight Nvidia B300 GPUs, bought only once a 3-year rental contract is signed, with full refunds if the $670K round does not fill by November 10. Minimum ticket is $100.

8/ BitRepo (Bitcoin Credit)

Keep your BTC, borrow stablecoins against it and put them into short-term credit for fintechs, e-commerce lenders and agent platforms, keeping the spread. The founder, Thomas Hepner, co-founded Credit Coop, and BitRepo is one of 10 teams picked for Base Batches 004. Pre-launch: the site is booking intro calls with lenders.

9/ Priors (Agent Credit)

An AI agent can trade and post, but it cannot get a loan in its own name. Priors lends agents $5 to $500 in USDG on Robinhood Chain for up to 30 days, and every repayment builds an onchain credit record. So far 274 agents have repaid 39.9K loans worth $295K, with 2 defaults. It has its own token, $PRIORS, which owners can stake behind their agent's credit line.

The pattern this week: the Wall Street toolkit is shrinking to wallet size. Prime brokerage, smart order routing, options spreads, managed strategies, hardware financing and repo used to need a desk, a license and a big minimum ticket. Here they come as an app, a vault or an API, and one of them lends to AI agents instead of people. These are early-stage projects, several invite-only, in private beta or pre-launch, so higher upside comes with higher risk. Do your own research, nothing here is financial advice.

Qivalis got an e-money license from De Nederlandsche Bank, the Dutch central bank. The Amsterdam firm, backed by 37 European banks, can now issue a euro stablecoin under MiCA.

Issuance is planned within the next months, after Qivalis publishes its MiCA white paper. The token will run on a full-reserve model and reach users through banks, exchanges and payment providers, not directly. Qivalis was founded in September 2025, and Sir Howard Davies, former NatWest chairman, chairs its supervisory board.

Backers span 15 countries, including ING, BNP Paribas, BBVA, UniCredit and CaixaBank. The group more than tripled when 25 new banks joined.

Polymarket weighs a token or IPO as its next step, Bloomberg reports. CEO Shayne Coplan teased an announcement ahead of TOKEN2049, but neither path is confirmed.

A token could reward traders and liquidity providers in ways shares cannot, while an IPO fits Polymarket's push into regulated US markets through QCEX and Polymarket US. Coplan first hinted at $POLY in October 2025. Polymarket says it never announced an airdrop or a token launch.

Its valuation rose from about $9B after ICE's 2025 investment to reported talks above $20B, with annualized revenue said to be well above $1B.

BNY and Citadel tested tokenized Treasuries in a live repo trade. Citadel Securities bought a 2-year Treasury note, and its token settled on BNY's private ledger in minutes, not T+1.

Citadel then used the tokenized note as collateral in an overnight triparty repo, with BNY lending cash against it. BNY calls it the first use of tokenized assets on a major triparty repo platform. The bank oversees $62.6T in assets under custody and administration.

Next, BNY plans tokenized deposits for onchain settlement and longer settlement hours, reaching European and Asian trading hours next year.

Base introduced Earn & Borrow, a stack for apps to offer stablecoin yield and loans against customers' crypto via lending markets like Morpho and Aave.

Customers deposit stablecoins such as USDC and earn a variable rate paid by overcollateralized borrowers. Borrowers get USDC against crypto they hold in the app with no repayment schedule, though collateral can be liquidated. Vaults are run by independent curators, not by Base or Coinbase.

Lending markets on Base already hold $3B+ with a 4.45% average stablecoin yield before incentives. Aave has confirmed it is live in the stack.
