New S-Tokens give retail users indirect exposure to institutional-grade assets on Solana, reflecting DeFi’s push beyond accredited investors. Real-world asset (RWA) protocols Splyce and Chintai have launched a new product on Solana designed to give retail users access to institutional-grade tokenized securities — a move that could broaden the appeal of RWA tokenization on one of the world’s largest blockchains. The product is powered by strategy tokens, or S-Tokens, which provide retail users with exposure to yields generated by Chintai. While users never directly hold Chintai’s tokenized securities, S-Tokens act as a “mirror” through a loan structure backed by the underlying assets. S-Tokens are designed to broaden access to RWA yields beyond institutional investors. Today, most institutional RWA products operate as “walled gardens” with strict capital requirements and compliance hurdles, limiting retail participation, the companies told Cointelegraph.

Blockchain analytics are evolving with AI, turning raw onchain data into actionable insights for investors, law enforcement and everyday users. The blockchain industry has always prided itself on transparency. Every transaction on a public blockchain is permanently recorded, visible to anyone with an internet connection. Still, with billions of transactions and hundreds of millions of wallet addresses, the sheer scale of that transparency can be paralyzing. Without the right tools, it’s less a crystal-clear ledger and more a haystack hiding countless needles. That is where blockchain analytics comes in. The latest episode of The Clear Crypto Podcast discusses how blockchain’s radical openness has created both opportunities and challenges, and now, artificial intelligence (AI) may be the missing piece in making sense of it all.

The new $100 million facility with Two Prime boosts CleanSpark’s total borrowing capacity to $400 million, fueling data center and hashrate expansion plans. Bitcoin mining company CleanSpark secured its second $100 million credit line this week without issuing new shares, highlighting the growing role of digital assets as collateral in mainstream finance. The latest facility, disclosed Thursday, was arranged with Two Prime, an institutional Bitcoin (BTC) yield platform, and is backed entirely by CleanSpark’s Bitcoin treasury. With this agreement, CleanSpark’s total collateralized lending capacity is now $400 million. The non-dilutive nature of the financing is particularly notable. Public companies often raise growth capital through equity offerings, which can dilute existing shareholders’ stakes. By using its nearly 13,000 BTC holdings as collateral instead, CleanSpark gains access to liquidity while preserving shareholder value. Read more -

Cryptocurrencies are where the blockchain industry is today, “but tokenization is where it’s going next,” Chainlink’s co-founder Sergey Nazarov told Cointelegraph. With Paul Atkins as US Securities and Exchange Commission chairman, the path “towards the tokenization of the financial system” is now clear, according to Sergey Nazarov, co-founder of Chainlink Labs. Speaking to Cointelegraph, Nazarov said it won’t be easy because it comes with a slew of separate challenges with regard to tokenizing data, cross-chain connectivity, compliance and many other areas. But if and when it happens, the consequences could be huge. Consider only that the market capitalization of all the cryptocurrencies in the world is now about $4 trillion. If traditional financial assets were tokenized and brought onchain, that could boost market cap tenfold or more, he said. Read more -

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose applauded the progress, while continuing to support the creation of an Ohio Strategic Cryptocurrency Reserve.
