London Stock Exchange Platform to Launch UK Tokenized Equity Structures, Partner with Payward

The London Stock Exchange (LSE) has announced plans to launch tokenized equity structures in the UK, and has partnered with financial infrastructure platform Payward to explore how regulated market infrastructure and native digital distribution models can support the development of a tokenized public equity market. The initiative aims to expand access to capital markets while preserving shareholder rights, investor protections, and governance standards in existing public markets. The partnership will focus on researching digital wallet interactions, connections between on-chain ecosystems and traditional regulated capital markets, and exploring the application of public and private blockchains in securities markets while meeting regulatory requirements such as anti-money laundering (AML) and operational resilience. Additionally, the London Stock Exchange plans to list and trade xStocks on its 24-hour trading platform LSE 24 in 2027, subject to regulatory approval.

Caixin: Part of the funds involved in Star Bridge Capital’s London gold margin call incident were deposited via USDT, making it more difficult for investors to recover their funds.

According to Caixin, Star Bridge Capital (SBCFX) has suffered an abnormal liquidation incident in London Gold trading. After the incident, the platform’s Hong Kong office is now deserted, leaving some investors facing huge losses. Multiple investors revealed that their automated London Gold (XAUUSD) derivative trades on Star Bridge Capital encountered extreme abnormal activity on the evening of August 19: the system automatically generated massive reverse short orders in just 1 to 3 seconds, followed by a rapid rise in international gold prices, leading to collective account liquidations—some accounts were wiped out entirely, while others even showed negative balances. London Gold liquidation refers to the trading risk where, due to a position direction opposite to gold price movement and leverage amplifying losses, an investor’s account available margin is exhausted and falls below the maintenance margin ratio, resulting in forced liquidation by the platform and total loss of principal. Affected investors estimate the incident involves approximately 2,000 to 3,000 people, including a large number of mainland Chinese investors. Currently, some investors have filed reports with Hong Kong police, demanding the platform refund 70% of their principal in accordance with its previously promised rule of “maximum loss of 30%”. Some investors noted that Star Bridge Capital offered up to 500x leverage, and some funds were deposited via USDT stablecoins, which has increased the difficulty of tracking the funds. Public information shows that Star Bridge Capital’s business scope covers foreign exchange, commodities, indices, cryptocurrencies, etc., and it publicly claims to be a licensed and compliant international trading platform.

Nscale had previously operated on a relatively small revenue scale; the size of its contracted contracts disclosed ahead of this IPO, along with its accelerated quarterly revenue growth, will serve as key benchmarks for the market to assess its valuation.

Mother of late Ondo Finance founder files lawsuit seeking to take control of the company.

Kathleen Allman, mother of late Ondo Finance founder Nathan Allman, has filed a lawsuit with the Delaware Court of Chancery, seeking to take control of the company and remove Ian De Bode from his positions as CEO and President. The complaint alleges that after Nathan Allman’s death, De Bode acted publicly in his capacity as CEO without board approval and attempted to establish control over the firm.

In response, De Bode called the allegations “unfounded,” adding that the company continues to receive support from key stakeholders, major investors, and the Ondo Foundation.

Ondo Abandons Independent Public Blockchain Roadmap, Launches New Execution Network to Build On-Chain Architecture with Exchange-Grade Performance

Ondo Finance has announced the launch of its new Ondo Network, a high-performance execution layer designed to combine centralized exchange (CEX)-level transaction speed with the non-custodial, secure settlement capabilities of blockchain. Ondo CEO Ian De Bode stated that the Ondo Network is an evolved version of the original Ondo Chain plan. The company will not operate two separate networks; instead, it has adjusted its roadmap from building a full blockchain to focusing on an execution layer architecture. According to the introduction, Ondo initially planned to comprehensively tokenize real-world assets (RWAs) via Ondo Chain. However, after developing the Ondo Perps perpetual contract trading platform and communicating with users, the company found that the core bottleneck in the current market is not asset settlement, but transaction execution efficiency. The Ondo Network adopts a modular architecture that separates execution, validation, and settlement. It uses secure hardware-isolated execution environments to boost transaction speed while retaining key blockchain features: user self-custody of assets, verifiable transactions, and permissionless access. Currently, Ondo Perps is the first application built on this network, supporting 24/7 trading of perpetual contracts for stocks and commodities, and allowing tokenized real-world assets to be used as collateral. Ondo added that the network will also support other high-performance, privacy-protective, verifiable execution applications in the future, such as spot trading, lending, and structured products. Additionally, the launch of Ondo Network will not change the positioning of the ONDO token. The CEO said that ONDO will remain the governance and incentive token for Ondo’s RWA ecosystem and market infrastructure. As the network gradually decentralizes, ONDO will be used to coordinate the incentive mechanisms for validators, observers, and other ecosystem participants.

Ondo Perps Launches Tokenized Stock Collateralization Feature

According to official announcements, Ondo Perps has launched a tokenized stock collateral feature, allowing all users to use Ondo Finance’s tokenized stocks as valid collateral assets for perpetual contract trading. The first supported assets include tokenized versions of the S&P 500 ETF (SPYon) and Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQon). Ondo noted that its perpetual contract platform has processed over $3.8 billion in trading volume. As traders’ demand grows for on-platform hedging, deep liquidity, tight spreads, low slippage, exchange speeds comparable to centralized exchanges (CEXs), and 24/7 trading, the on-chain stock derivatives market is expanding rapidly. The tokenized stock collateral mechanism allows traders to gain exposure to other markets without locking funds in stablecoins or selling existing assets, thereby improving capital efficiency. This feature is part of Ondo’s "Productive Capital" strategy, designed to gradually align the liquidity and capital efficiency of tokenized stocks and stock perpetual contracts with those of traditional derivatives markets. The company added that the current trading and margin infrastructure built on tokenized assets is just the beginning of a broader on-chain prime brokerage ecosystem, with plans to launch additional markets, liquidity products, and innovative features in the future.

Ondo Perps stated that traders can deploy large amounts of capital, execute complex strategies, and manage risks on a single platform, free from the expiration dates and closing times of traditional derivatives venues.

On February 3rd, Aave founder Stani Kulechov bought a five-story Victorian mansion in London’s Notting Hill for ￡22 million (roughly $30 million)—one of the priciest residential deals in London’s high-end market over the past year. The transaction closed in November last year, with the final price about ￡2 million below the agent’s prior asking guidance. The property offers panoramic views of Notting Hill. Kulechov has not commented on the deal. Against a backdrop of the UK Labour government hiking stamp duty and scrapping tax breaks for ultra-high-net-worth foreign residents, London’s luxury housing market remains under pressure. Transactions for homes priced above ￡5 million fell by roughly 40% year-over-year in December 2025. In this climate, the deal stands out as one of the few bright spots in an otherwise sluggish market.
