Securitize Plans River One Acquisition to Connect Stablecoin Capital With Asset-Backed Finance
TL;DR: Securitize has announced an agreement to acquire River One as it looks to connect tokenized capital with traditional asset-backed financing. The cited $6 trillion refers to the broader market opportunity, not the transaction price, and the proposed deal still needs to close. Securitize is moving from issuing and servicing tokenized assets toward a potentially larger role in the financing arrangements behind them. The company said on November 9 that it had agreed to acquire River One, positioning the move as a way to connect stablecoin liquidity with asset-backed finance.
EU Seeks Experts to Help Set Tokenisation Standards as Financial Markets Move Onchain
TL;DR: European authorities are inviting nominations for a new Tokenisation Standards Group, with applications due on November 27. The effort is about practical coordination across the financial system, not a new approval for cryptocurrency tokens or a promise that all tokenized assets will be regulated alike. Europe is trying to solve a problem that has followed tokenized finance from pilot projects into real markets: moving an asset onto a blockchain is only part of the job. Trading, ownership records, custody, corporate actions, payments, and reporting still need to work together.
Crypto ally Tom Emmer elected House GOP minority whip
Tom Emmer just secured the House Republican minority whip position with a 103-76 vote, keeping him in a key leadership role as Democrats take control in January. This is significant for crypto, as Emmer has been a strong advocate for digital assets, helping to establish the Congressional Crypto Caucus to push for supportive legislation.
His track record includes co-sponsoring the CLARITY Act and introducing the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act, which aims to define the roles of blockchain developers under federal law. Emmer's influence in Congress could shape the future of crypto regulation, especially as he continues to rally support against government-controlled digital currencies.

Initia Halts Blockchain After $615K Leaves Bridged Asset Escrows
Initia, a network designed for interwoven optimistic rollups, has halted its layer 1 blockchain after it detected unauthorized transfers from escrow accounts holding assets bridged to several rollups. According to the team, approximately $615,000 left the network before the shutdown, with the incident raising new concerns for a project that only recently restored operations after another exploit that cost it about $2.7 million. In a post on X last night, Initia said it was “investigating an issue affecting rollup infrastructure” and that they had been paused temporarily.
Peter Brandt Sees 30-Year Yield at 7%. Would Bitcoin and Stocks Survive?
Veteran trader Peter Brandt says the 30-year yield has ended its pullback and could climb to 6.5% to 7%. He calls a drop below 5% unlikely. The yield on 30-year US Treasury bonds sat near 5.35% on Tuesday, below its October high of about 5.67%. Brandt’s target could lift mortgage rates and raise the bar for Bitcoin (BTC) and stocks. Why Did the 30-Year Yield Bounce From 5.22%? Brandt said the yield bottomed at 5.22% during the retreat from its October high. That leaves the bounce at about 0.13 percentage point. The 30-year yield rose from 4.83% at the end of June to above 5.3% by August.

Coinbase, Kalshi and Other Firms Back CFTC in Fight Over Stock Perpetuals
A dispute over who may regulate perpetual futures linked to individual US stocks is drawing some of crypto’s most prominent companies into federal court. Coinbase, Kalshi, Kraken parent Payward, DRW, Jump Trading and Paradigm have sought permission to support the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in litigation brought by the Capital Markets Alliance Association. Their proposed intervention follows approvals for new stock-linked perpetual products earlier this month.
LNbits rushes emergency patch after reported Bitcoin wallet thefts
LNbits just released version 1.7.0 to address a serious vulnerability after reports of Bitcoin wallet thefts from its platform. They’re urging all users to update immediately, especially those running older versions, as the exploit has already led to significant losses for some. The update enhances security measures, but LNbits warns that if your credentials were compromised before the upgrade, you still need to reset wallet keys and other sensitive information.
The urgency comes after a wave of attacks prompted the team to shut down their own hosted installations. One user reported losing about 2.3 million satoshis due to this exploit. If you’re using LNbits, it’s crucial to act fast and ensure your setup is secure. For listeners who want low-fee crypto exposure, our markets partner Kraken supports Bitcoin — link in show notes.
ChainLink (LINK), Cardano (ADA), Dogecoin (DOGE) and Ethereum (ETH) Price Analysis for November 11: Bearish Market Hits Critical Fear Levels
Chainlink (LINK) is hovering around $10.49, facing a looming death cross that could put pressure on its price. The key support level is $10, where buyers have stepped in twice recently. A loss of this support could lead to further declines, although the descending volume suggests a potential stabilization.
Cardano (ADA) is currently at $0.1776, continuing its downtrend with next support around $0.16. The RSI is low, indicating limited downside, but the lack of catalysts is a concern.
Ethereum (ETH) is trading at $2,095 and risks dropping below $2,000, with $1,900 as the next critical level. The market is oversold, but without a bounce, the trend remains bearish.
Dogecoin (DOGE) is near $0.0694, holding at a solid support level around $0.07. While the bearish trend persists, the RSI is approaching oversold territory, hinting at potential stabilization.
