In today’s crypto news (July 3), Bitcoin has moved back above $60,000, up +2.7% in the last 24 hours as the market continues to show signs of life. Daily liquidations decreased slightly from yesterday, from $448 million to $413 million, with shorts still accounting for the majority of that figure at $283 million.
The market rally was driven by Bitcoin ETF flows going green for the first time in over ten days. Yesterday closed with +$223 million in positive flows, with Fidelity’s FTBC product accounting for $166 million of that figure. Interestingly, BlackRock’s IBIT was the only ETF to close the day in red, with -$40 million in outflows.
While almost all large-cap tokens are currently in the red over the past 24 hours, Stellar (XLM) and Cardano (ADA) are two of the largest projects in the green today, up +11% and +4.5% respectively. Daily trading volume continues to decline, currently at $75 billion, compared to $82 billion yesterday.
Reinforcing the belief that a longer-term rally is on the way, the Fear and Greed Index is back above 20, sitting at 21/100, up from 19/100 yesterday. If Bitcoin continues to hold above $60,000, the likelihood of the index continuing to rise becomes higher.
Crypto News Today: Securitize Goes Public on the New York Stock Exchange and Issues Tokenized Shares
Securitize, one of the largest companies in the asset tokenization industry, has started trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol SECZ. The listing took place on Thursday after the company completed its business combination with Cantor Equity Partners II on Wednesday evening.
According to The Block, SECZ opened at $12.45, rose to $13.70 by midday, representing a gain of approximately +10%, and closed its first trading session at $12.30.
Additionally, Securitize launched tokenized versions of full SECZ shares on the Solana and Avalanche networks. This initiative aims to expand global access to the company’s shares and enable 24/7 trading, including during periods when traditional US markets are closed.
As a result, SECZ will continue to trade even on Friday, when US exchanges are closed for Independence Day. Securitize became the first company to launch tokenized stocks alongside its stock market debut. While other companies have already issued on-chain versions of their shares, Securitize is the only one to initiate this process at the start of trading.

Ondo tokenizes IVV S&P 500 ETF and BlackRock’s Micron shares under SEC custody model
In other crypto news today, Ondo Finance launched tokenized versions of the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) and BlackRock’s Micron shares, pursuant to a third-party custody framework outlined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in guidance issued in January 2026.
This initiative marks the first time that US-listed securities have been tokenized on a public blockchain while using existing US capital markets infrastructure, all without the direct involvement of issuers.
In this model, the underlying stocks and ETF are stored in the traditional custody system. Oasis Pro TA, an SEC-registered transfer agent, issues tokens backed 1:1 by these underlying securities.
Tokens are created on the Ethereum blockchain and held by regulated custodians. Ondo said investors enjoy the same rights as traditional brokerage account holders, including access to corporate communications and the ability to vote through the ProxyVote platform.
Compliance with transfer restrictions is managed by licensed brokers, transfer agents and custodians, ensuring that all transactions comply with US regulatory requirements.
Ian De Bode, CEO of Ondo Finance, noted that this launch demonstrates the feasibility of tokenizing securities while complying with both market infrastructure and regulatory standards.
