Stocks kept moving onchain: NYSE teamed up with Blockchain com, Ondo packed BlackRock portfolios into tokens, Coinbase let AI agents buy equities. Meanwhile BitMEX shut down after 11 years.

Five that actually mattered:

— Blockchain.com signs NYSE deal for tokenized stocks

— Ondo launches BlackRock-model portfolios of tokenized iShares

— Coinbase lets AI agents trade US stocks and ETFs

— Binance lists Hyperliquid (HYPE) on spot

— Bybit launches a Polymarket pre-IPO perp

$3.3M in 7 days puts Circle's chain right next to Arbitrum ($3.6M), a network with a five-year head startand it isn't the only newcomer. Robinhood Chain went live on July 1 and is already #3 with $49M, ahead of Hyperliquid and Base.

Two chains launched this quarter, two chains in the top 10. The fee map is getting redrawn fast.

9 fresh projects we caught on the radar this week. Not memecoins, not hype — early-stage with real products: from a network that lets telecom carriers settle in stablecoins, to tokenized Anthropic and Neuralink shares before they IPO.

A USDC-native L1 backed by BlackRock, Visa and Mastercard went live Sept 16. One week later:

— 2.53M addresses, gas paid in USDC at <$0.01

— $381M total value locked

— Lending leads: Morpho $207M, Aave V4 $145M

— $497M in DEX volume, Uniswap out front at $479M

WBT set a new ATH, about 18% above its August peak of $73, and roughly 50x its 2022 debut. Market cap $10.3B, ranked #14.

The token has traded through four years and multiple cycles without a tokenomics reset, and was added to five S&P Dow Jones crypto benchmarks in 2025. Burns funded by exchange fees are set to move max supply toward 200M.

Binance and MEXC each hold nearly $3B in active perp liquidity, about double any other venue. Then a sharp drop: Hyperliquid $2.09B, Gate $1.83B, and Bitget with ~$1.1B.
