Bitcoin Price Watch; Here’s What’s On Tonight 354

We are closing in on the end of the European session on Wednesday and price is trading in and around the top of its 24-hour range. Oftentimes, we spent quite a bit of time looking at how action during the day brought things to stand as they currently do but, right now, we are going to jump straight into our analysis in an attempt to avoid missing out on any potential entries near term.

So, with this in mind, let’s get straight to it.

As ever, take a quick look at the chart below before we get started so as to get an idea where things stand. The chart is a one-minute candlestick chocolate has our primary range overlaid in green.

As the chart shows, the range that we are looking at for the session this evening comes in as defined by support the downside at 8150 and resistance to the upside at 8350.

We are going to stick with our standard breakout strategy for the time being, so we will shelf our intrarange strategy near term. If this changes going forward (or, in other words, if we get the sort of conditions that allow us to enter and exit intrarange trades in the bitcoin price overnight), we will alter our strategy slightly.

So, as an initial trade, we will look to enter long on a close above resistance towards an immediate upside target of 8600 flat. A stop loss on the trade somewhere in the region of 8275 works well from a risk management perspective.

Looking the other way, if we see price close below support, we will enter short towards a downside target of 8000 flat. Again we need a stop loss on the position and somewhere in the region of 8200 looks like it should do the trick.

Let’s see how things play out and we will revisit in the morning.

Digital Genesis Fund Launches European Platform for Tokenized Real-World Infrastructure 97

The Digital Genesis Fund (DGF) has officially launched as a new European investment platform focused on real-world infrastructure for the digital age, combining institutional regulation with Web3, tokenization, and AI-driven value creation.

Structured as a Luxembourg SICAV-RAIF, the Digital Genesis Fund is designed to deploy long-term capital into infrastructure where technology enables structural transformation of real markets. Rather than pursuing short-term trends, the Fund focuses on scalable, transparent investment structures that connect emerging technologies with productive, real-world assets.

The Fund launches with its first active compartment, MILC (Media Industry Licensing Content), an operational media infrastructure platform that enters the portfolio with significant entrepreneurial groundwork already in place. MILC has been pre-financed with approximately EUR 20 million and is supported by a contributed content library valued at around EUR 35 million, forming a strong foundation for international expansion and further infrastructure development.

MILC addresses a core challenge in the global media industry: distribution has become borderless, while value-creation models remain outdated. By combining tokenized intellectual property, AI-supported production and distribution processes, and a growing global creator ecosystem, MILC positions itself as an infrastructural driver for the transition of the creator economy from centralized Web2 models to open, Web3-based systems.

The Digital Genesis Fund operates within a clearly defined European regulatory framework. The Fund is managed by 6M as AIFM and Fund Advisor, with Securities S.A. serving as Depositary, EY as Auditor, and DLA Piper providing legal structuring and advisory services. This institutional setup is designed to provide long-term stability while enabling innovation at scale.

The Fund was initiated by Hendrik Hey, media entrepreneur and founder of Welt der Wunder, who brings nearly three decades of experience building large-scale media platforms and more than ten years of hands-on experience in blockchain and Web3 infrastructure.

As Hendrik Hey explains it, “We are not just building a platform. We are architecting the protocol that will power the immersive content economies of the next decade.”

The launch of the Digital Genesis Fund marks the first step in a broader platform strategy, with additional compartments planned across infrastructure and technology verticals.

To learn more about the Digital Genesis Fund and follow upcoming announcements as the platform develops, stay tuned for official updates and future communications from the Fund.

Hendrik Hey is the Founder of MILC (Media Industry Licensing Content), a pioneering company in the blockchain and metaverse space, with a strong background in media and content.

MILC is a sister company of European media giant Welt der Wunder, which Hey founded over 25 years ago. For more information, please visit https://www.milc.global

DigiFT Introduces First Actively Managed Tokenized Equity Fund with BNY as Investment Management Services Provider 97

  • First actively managed tokenized equity fund extending tokenization beyond single assets to professionally managed public equity strategies
  • Tokenized on Ethereum and distributed via DigiFT, providing eligible investors a regulated on-chain way to invest
  • Advances institutional adoption of tokenization, building on BNY’s deep investment expertise and DigiFT’s track record of bringing Tier-1 asset manager strategies on-chain

DigiFT, a regulated on-chain exchange for institutional real-world assets, today announced the introduction of DigiFT U.S. Equity Income Fund (“bEQTY”), the first actively managed tokenized U.S. equity income fund on the Ethereum public blockchain.

The launch of bEQTY, which is eligible for accredited investors, represents a significant milestone in the evolution of tokenization—marking a shift from early experimentation with blockchain-based financial instruments toward enabling investors to construct more complete, portfolio-relevant strategies on-chain.

BNY serves as the investment manager for the underlying traditional U.S. equity income strategy which extends tokenization into actively managed public equities. This launch demonstrates how regulated on-chain infrastructure is advancing beyond initial applications to address more sophisticated areas of the capital markets.

Tokenization as institutional portfolio infrastructure

Public equities remain a core component of institutional portfolios. Tokenization introduces a digitally native form factor that enables programmable settlement, enhanced transparency, and more streamlined lifecycle management—without changing the underlying investment strategy or governance framework.

By representing equity income strategies on regulated on-chain infrastructure, eligible investors gain greater flexibility in how sophisticated financial instruments are held, transferred, and integrated into portfolios, supporting more agile capital management.

For Web3-native allocators, as on-chain treasuries and funds mature, there is growing interest in incorporating assets that introduce exposure to the real-economy and are less correlated with crypto-native market cycles.

The launch also illustrates how regulated on-chain marketplaces can support wider institutional participation by enabling eligible investors to access the strategy through DigiFT’s regulated framework.

Henry Zhang, Founder and Group CEO of DigiFT, said: “For years, tokenization has been about proving the technology. This launch proves its use case. By bringing an actively managed equity income strategy on-chain within a regulated market, we’re demonstrating how blockchain infrastructure is becoming part of mainstream institutional finance.”

Doni Shamsuddin, Head of Asia Pacific, BNY Investments, said: “We are thrilled to work with DigiFT in bridging traditional finance and emerging on-chain solutions for institutional investors. Leveraging BNY’s deep investment capabilities, we enable a professionally managed portfolio on blockchain — anchored in established trust, scale, and governance.”

From experimentation to portfolio-relevant strategies

Tokenization has gained early traction in short-duration and cash-like instruments, demonstrating the operational benefits of blockchain within regulated frameworks.

As tokenization matures, extending its capabilities into actively managed public equities represents a natural next phase—moving beyond single assets toward actively managed strategies within regulated market infrastructure.

DigiFT is a next-generation exchange for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC). The platform offers end-to-end digital asset services—including tokenization, issuance, distribution, trading, and instant liquidity provision—purpose-built for institutional RWAs.

Verito and Filed Partner to Deliver AI-Powered Tax Automation on the Industry’s Highest-Rated Cloud Infrastructure 111

G2’s #1-ranked hosting provider and AICPA-backed AI platform combine to create Advisory-Ready Infrastructure, helping accounting firms escape data entry and shift to higher-value services

Verito, the top-rated cloud hosting and managed IT provider for accounting firms, today announced a strategic partnership with Filed, the AI-powered tax automation platform selected for the 2025 AICPA/CPA.com Startup Accelerator.

The partnership combines Filed’s AI automation, which cuts tax prep time by 40–80%, with Verito’s #1-ranked hosting infrastructure, creating what the companies call Advisory-Ready Infrastructure : a foundation that frees firms from manual compliance and data-entry work so they can focus on higher-margin advisory services.

The Capacity Problem Holding Firms Back

The accounting profession faces a stark math problem. With 75% of CPAs nearing retirement and a shortage of nearly 340,000 professionals, firms can’t hire their way to growth. Meanwhile, nearly 40% of preparers’ time disappears into repetitive data entry, hours that could generate advisory revenue at 2–3x rates.

Most firms want to offer more advisory services. Few have the capacity to deliver them.

The Verito + Filed partnership addresses both sides of that equation. Filed’s Intelligent Tax Workspace automates the manual stage, document intake, data extraction, and return population, all while working inside the tax software firms already use: Drake, UltraTax, Lacerte, ProSeries, and CCH Axcess. So preparers log in to review-ready returns instead of blank forms. Verito’s infrastructure ensures that automation runs fast, stays online, and meets IRS and FTC compliance requirements.

The result: firms recapture thousands of hours previously lost to data entry. Those hours become available for client advisory, strategic planning, and the high-value work that drives growth.

Verito earned #1 rankings in 18 separate G2 categories this winter spanning Usability, Results, Relationship, and Implementation indexes for cloud hosting, managed hosting, and dedicated hosting. The company maintains 100% uptime since 2016, a 95 Net Promoter Score, and sub-60-second support response times from technicians trained on professional tax applications.

“The firms we serve don’t just want compliant infrastructure. They want capacity to grow,” said Jatin Narang, CEO of Verito Inc. “Filed eliminates the data entry that traps preparers in low-value work. We make sure that automation runs on infrastructure that never flinches. Together, we’re giving firms something they’ve never had: the time to actually advise their clients.”

What the Partnership Means for Accounting Firms

Under the agreement, Verito becomes Filed’s preferred cloud hosting and managed IT provider. The partnership delivers:

  • For Filed users: Preferred pricing on Verito’s private cloud hosting and managed IT services, with IRS Publication 4557 and FTC Safeguards Rule compliance built in
  • For Verito clients: Discounted access to Filed’s AI automation platform, enabling faster return preparation without changing existing workflows
  • For firms shifting to advisory: An integrated ecosystem where AI handles prep work, infrastructure handles performance and compliance, and preparers handle the strategic work that commands premium fees

“Great software only works if it’s supported by great infrastructure, and Verito understands the operational realities of accounting firms, and they know how to support modern firms with the right cloud hosting and managed IT Services needed to scale operations.” said Leroy Kerry, CEO of Filed. “We’re excited to partner with them so firms can adopt Filed knowing the technology behind it is secure, dependable, and built to grow with them.”

The Infrastructure Behind the Partnership

Verito earned #1 rankings in 18 G2 Index categories, including:

  • #1 Usability Index for Cloud Application Hosting
  • #1 Results Index for Cloud Application Hosting
  • #1 Relationship Index for Cloud Application Hosting
  • #1 Implementation Index for Cloud Application Hosting
  • #1 Usability Index for Managed Hosting
  • #1 Results Index for Managed Hosting
  • #1 Implementation Index for Managed Hosting
  • #1 Relationship Index for Managed Hosting

Morph Supercharges Institutional Stablecoin Flows With Cobo as First Payment Accelerator Partner 121

Morph is excited to announce that Cobo, a leading institutional digital asset custody and wallet infrastructure provider, has joined as one of the inaugural partners in the Morph Payment Accelerator program.

This deepened collaboration builds on our existing integration with Cobo, announced in January 2025, and focuses on routing institutional-grade stablecoin flows through Morph’s payment-optimized Layer 2. Cobo brings a comprehensive suite of digital asset custody and wallet infrastructure to Morph, spanning enterprise-grade Custodial Wallets, Multi-Party Computation (MPC) Wallets and Wallet-as-a-Service with support for more than 80 blockchains. Backed by deep expertise in cross-border payouts and high-frequency settlements, and with an established operational footprint across the globe with a strong presence in APAC markets, Cobo is a natural first partner to help scale institutional volume on Morph.

Introducing the Morph Payment Accelerator

To accelerate the shift toward onchain payments at global scale, Morph recently announced the $150 million Morph Payment Accelerator, powered by the BGB ecosystem.

The Payment Accelerator is a performance-based incentive program designed for payment companies, financial institutions, and infrastructure providers building real-world payment products. It rewards partners for bringing meaningful, verified stablecoin payment volume onto Morph mainnet, creating a transparent model where incentives scale directly with onchain activity. The program targets high-impact Network Verticals including crypto cards and digital issuing, cross-border remittance, and payment gateways, helping partners unlock lower costs, instant settlement, and programmable features.

A Shared Vision for Borderless Finance

Institutions are increasingly turning to stablecoins for treasury management, payroll, remittances, and merchant settlements. With stablecoin transaction volumes already surpassing traditional networks and projected to reach trillions more in the coming years, the need for fast, secure, and cost-effective rails has never been greater.

By routing more institutional stablecoin flows through Morph, Cobo’s clients, ranging from exchanges and payment providers to enterprises, will benefit from lower effective costs, faster execution, and seamless multi-chain interoperability.

This partnership underscores Morph’s growing role as the settlement layer for global onchain payments. Cobo is welcomed as one of the inaugural partners in the Morph Payment Accelerator, with further updates to follow as institutional stablecoin activity accelerates in the months ahead. As adoption continues to expand, onchain rails are increasingly positioned to shape the future of modern money movement.
