Tokenization specialist Ondo Finance's native cryptocurrency was on the move on Monday as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has ended investigation into the platform as U.S. regulators are clearing the path for tokenized real-world assets (RWA).
The agency closed a "confidential" investigation that was started in 2024, during the previous SEC leadership helmed by Gary Gensler, without any charges, the Ondo team said in an X post.

The agency's investigation centered on whether Ondo’s tokenization of certain real-world assets complied with federal securities laws as well as whether the ONDO token was a security, an Ondo spokesperson told CoinDesk.
"With the investigation now closed, the overhang on Ondo and the tokenization of securities is over and signals openness and a cleared way ahead for the tokenization of securities," the spokesperson added.
The ONDO$0.4831 token popped higher on the news, now ahead just shy of 6% over the past 24 hours.
Regulatory pressure on digital assets and crypto protocols has substantially eased with Donald Trump's return to the White House compared to the previous administration, often dubbed as hostile by industry members. New SEC Chairman Paul Atkins has touted tokenization as a key innovation for capital markets, saying in a FOX Business interview last week that it has the potential to change the financial system over the next couple years.

the $63M White Whale of a tale
The post the $63M White Whale of a tale appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This weekend on crypto social media, memecoin traders spun yet another fantastic tale of leveraged trading meltdown. According to the still-being-written legend, crypto exchange MEXC locked $3 million belonging to famed crypto trader The White Whale. As he continued to amass money from leveraged trading despite the freeze, he claimed that he’d become so wealthy that if MEXC ever unfroze the funds, he’d give away the proceeds to the community. Then, on October 10, HyperLiquid liquidated $63 million of his then-larger assets amid a contentious pricing print from a data oracle. Though briefly devastated, MEXC eventually agreed to unlock his assets, prompting celebrations over his legendary return and, predictably, the creation of various memecoins. Smelling an opportunity, The White Whale decided to use some of his recently unlocked $3 million, earmarked for “the community,” to overtake one of these eponymous memecoins and add liquidity on its trading pairs. The White Whale of crypto Most crypto traders simply laughed as he attached cringe-worthy images of a white whale engaged in financial transactions to his trading commentary tweets. The laughter was appropriate, given how impossible it is to verify his narrative. So-called decentralized exchanges with limited know your customer requirements like HyperLiquid allow anyone to create an unlimited number of wallets and manipulate the pricing of markets across various wallets that they control. In other words, no one except the trader knows if someone has sole claim to a single wallet and username, or whether someone is using multiple wallets in order to craft a trading history for one of many usernames. The White Whale, like the titular whale in Herman Melville’s 1851 novel, Moby Dick, has become an obsession to many on social media, thanks to the fantastic sums of money at stake, the clownish images, and the ostensibly philanthropic, Phoneix…
