Planned features include native account abstraction and onchain privacy pools.

UPDATE: Israel's central bank REJECTS Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to use CRYPTO to bypass potential international financial sanctions, per FT. The central bank warned that crypto cannot help Israel avoid sanctions and urged the government to protect its ties with major trading partners. The warning comes as the UK, France, Canada and other Western allies move to impose sanctions over Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Opposition leaders warned that the plan could leave Israel financially isolated, similar to Iran, Russia and Venezuela. @headlines

🚨BREAKING: Wall Street is fighting against tokenized stocks as 22 companies oppose OKX’s plan to bring their shares onchain. Wells Fargo, Arm and Intuit are among the latest companies objecting to tokenized trading through OKXICE, the OKX–ICE joint venture. The number of objecting companies has climbed from 9 last week to 16 on Wednesday and now 22, per Reuters. OKXICE had planned to tokenize 63 U.S. stocks, but under the applicable exemption, an issuer’s objection prevents its shares from being listed on the platform. The pushback highlights a growing clash between traditional finance and crypto over who controls access to equity markets as tokenization moves closer to the mainstream. @headlines

🚨LATEST: Michael Saylor says Bitcoin’s NEXT BULL RUN is beginning after a $20,000 rebound from its 200W MA. “It bounced off the 200-week moving average… we rallied about $20,000 beyond that, so we think we’re at the beginning of the next bull run now,” he told Charles Schwab. He argues earlier policy pressures and competition for capital from AI are easing, while bank custody, Bitcoin-backed credit, supportive regulatory guidance and tokenization are creating fresh tailwinds. Saylor says Strategy holds roughly 845,000 BTC and $5 BILLION in cash, putting total reserve assets above $75 billion. @headlines
