Fidelity announced the launch of a stablecoin on the Ethereum mainnet, positioning the token as a compliance-wrapped settlement dollar distributed through the firm’s brokerage, custody, and wealth management channels.The move lands amid what looks like a stablecoin sprawl, as estimates suggest 59 new major stablecoins launched in 2025 alone, per third-party tracker Stablewatch.This looks like overcrowding, but it’s segmentation.

Coinbase launched prediction markets in all 50 states on January 28, 2026, through a partnership with Kalshi, covering sports, politics, and cultural events.

Robinhood CEO claims tokenisation prevents trading halts by allowing instant blockchain settlement, avoiding the collateral crises that caused the 2021 GameStop freeze. Current T+1 settlement remains too slow for 24/7 markets; tokenised shares enable real-time clearing, 24/7 trading, and native fractionalisation. The firm is pushing for US regulatory reform via the CLARITY Act to expand its existing European tokenised stock offerings into the domestic market. Trading giant Robinhood believes tokenised stocks are a way to avoid trading disasters (like Robinhood experienced in 2021 with GameStop).  The argument is that putting equities on the blockchain could remove much of the plumbing…

Protocol Theory founder and CEO, Jonathan Inglis, told the Tapping into Crypto podcast that the remaining 75% of potential crypto owners are reluctant to invest due to fears around volatility and scams, not by a lack of technical knowledge.
