Nasdaq's $100 million strategic investment in Kraken's parent company, MoneyGram launches stablecoin Visa debit card

According to BBX data, yesterday and in recent days, major global stock exchanges and cross-border payment giants disclosed the latest business developments in the tokenized stock ecosystem and stablecoin retail settlement, with the core dynamics as follows:Nasdaq Ventures plans to invest $100 million in Kraken's parent company, with stock tokens set to launch in 2027: Cryptocurrency exchange giant Kraken's parent company Payward announced an expansion of its strategic cooperation with Nasdaq. Nasdaq's strategic investment division, Nasdaq Ventures, has reached an agreement with Payward to inject $100 million into it. The two parties will jointly promote the operational system and commercial infrastructure of Nasdaq Equity Tokens (NETs), which are expected to officially hit the market in the second quarter of 2027, and deeply connect Payward's xStocks tokenized equity ecosystem through the established cooperation framework.MoneyGram launches stablecoin debit card, initially supporting USDC for Visa network spending: Global traditional cross-border remittance giant MoneyGram announced the launch of a payment card supported by stablecoins. This card allows users to make purchases directly within the global merchant network that accepts Visa, with the initial market set in Colombia, gradually expanding to other countries and regions over the following months. Users can register through the MoneyGram App and link the electronic card to their mobile wallet for online and offline spending, as well as transfer funds to themselves and redeem local fiat currency cash at global offline locations. Initially, the card will support USDC issued by Circle, with plans to further integrate MoneyGram's proprietary stablecoin MGUSD in the future.

first_img Institutions like Nasdaq have written to the European Union, requesting the cancellation or increase of the tokenization cap

According to CoinDesk, European financial and cryptocurrency industry organizations have written to the EU Council and the European Parliament, urging lawmakers to remove the cap on the scale of tokenized securities platforms or set it at least at €1.5 trillion (approximately $1.74 trillion), arguing that the €100 billion cap proposed by the European Commission will hinder industry development. Signatories include the French Digital Asset Association Adan, Crypto Council for Innovation, the European Ethereum Institute, as well as companies like Nasdaq and Boerse Stuttgart.The EU's distributed ledger pilot regime allows operators to test the trading and settlement of tokenized stocks, bonds, and investment funds while exempting some existing financial rules. After observing "moderate" participation, the European Commission proposed to expand the pilot framework and raise the current €6 billion cap to €100 billion. Adan stated that considering the development of the global market, this increase is still insufficient, and their preferred option is to completely remove the cap or at least set it to €1.5 trillion, which is 15 times the proposed cap.The joint letter pointed out that some existing European projects have reached a scale of €350 billion and plan to grow further, but did not disclose specific projects or calculation methods. The letter also emphasized that the relevant threshold targets the market capitalization of admitted securities rather than trading volume and opposed giving central securities depositories a significantly higher differentiated cap than other blockchain market operators, arguing that this would be detrimental to emerging service providers.The alliance also compared the restrictive measures in Europe with an unnamed mainstream settlement platform in the United States, which can tokenize assets like stocks without a trading volume cap; if the cap is retained, the alliance hopes the Commission can flexibly raise it as the market grows, without presetting a maximum limit.

Bitget has integrated with the official Nasdaq data source, becoming the first cryptocurrency platform in the industry to adopt this standard

According to official news from Bitget, Bitget has completed a comprehensive upgrade of its U.S. stock product market data source, officially connecting to the Nasdaq official data source, becoming the first cryptocurrency trading platform in the industry to adopt this data standard. Compared to the previous data model, Nasdaq official data can provide users with more accurate and timely market data, and maintain better price stability and continuity during periods of significant market fluctuations.To further ensure data quality, after connecting to the official data, Bitget has established a multi-layered assurance mechanism based on the official metadata, including data processing, real-time monitoring, quality comparison, simulation validation, and anomaly data filtering. Nasdaq, as a core data service provider long adopted by global financial markets, has had its data standards validated over many years in the traditional financial sector.This upgrade also marks a further deepening of Bitget's global asset trading infrastructure development. As the trading categories gradually expand from digital assets to global assets such as U.S. stocks, the platform will continue to enhance its underlying data, liquidity, and risk management capabilities, and introduce more mature institutional-level market standards to provide individual investors and institutional clients with a more stable and efficient cross-market trading experience, continuously enhancing the comprehensive competitiveness of its Universal Exchange (UEX).
