As Arthur laid out his thoughts, it was clear he wasn’t expecting any kind of détente anytime soon. The geopolitical landscape was looking more like a game of Jenga, with each block precariously stacked and ready to tumble. He dismissed the idea of a “TACO” moment-a last-minute retreat by Trump-because, let’s be honest, neither the U.S. nor Israel are keen on letting up their pressure cooker approach toward Iran.
The SEC’s shiny new approval for Nasdaq’s tokenized securities framework marks a pivotal moment for stock trading: it’s like bringing blockchain to the heart of U.S. equity markets-albeit with Wall Street holding all the cards.

The World Gold Council, that august conductor of glitter, helped launch SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) in 2004. That fund now stands, venerable and unbothered, at $163 billion. Tether Gold (XAUT) and Pax Gold (PAXG) – the two dominant tokenized gold progeny in crypto – together hold close to $5 billion.
