Aviva Investors Launches XRP Ledger Share Class for £22 Billion Fund
Plus: Bitcoin Holds Above $80,000, Circle Tokens Overtake Tokenized Securitize Shares
Good Morning Lions,
Aviva Investors putting a share class of its biggest fund on the XRP Ledger is a quiet win for tokenization. I think boring sterling cash products from giant UK managers are where this tech actually sticks, way more than tokenized equity wrappers that whipsaw month to month. BUT, a share class only matters once real money moves into it, frens.
Aviva Investors Adds XRP Ledger Share Class
TL;DR: Aviva Investors launched a tokenized share class of its Sterling Liquidity Fund on the XRP Ledger. The Sterling Liquidity Fund is the firm's largest at about £22 billion. It is Aviva's second tokenized fund after a USD version launched in July.
Bitcoin Holds Above $80,000
TL;DR: Bitcoin held just above $80,000 on Oct. 26, CoinDesk reported, as Brent crude fell below $110 on hopes of a US-Iran deal. Brazilian stocks dropped 20%, per the same report. The moves come ahead of Microsoft and Amazon earnings and three central bank decisions.
Circle Tokens Overtake Tokenized Securitize Shares
TL;DR: The onchain market cap of tokenized Securitize (SECZ) shares fell from $430.4 million on Sept. 28 to $208.6 million, per Token Terminal data. Circle-linked tokens rose to a combined $383.6 million, retaking the lead among tokenized stocks tracked.
Cardano Developers Merge Leios Code
TL;DR: Cardano developers merged Praos2 and Leios networking code, according to a development report. Input Output (IOG) is targeting an initial 3-5x capacity gain through the Dijkstra hard fork, with up to 15x as the longer-range goal. Further increases depend on testing and governance votes.
Bitcoin Defends Support Before FOMC
TL;DR: Bitcoin opened October's final week defending $80,000 support ahead of Wednesday's FOMC decision. Traders are also bracing for Thursday's PCE inflation data. Q3 earnings from Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon and Intel land during the same week.
Futures Traders Lose $133 Million in Liquidations
TL;DR: Crypto futures liquidations totaled $117 million to $133 million from October 25 to 26, 2026. Longs made up about 70% to 80% of the total, with ETH leading losses and Binance handling the largest share.
PancakeSwap Warns CAKE Holders on opBNB
TL;DR: PancakeSwap told CAKE holders on opBNB to bridge to BNB Chain before 00:00 UTC on November 23. The LayerZero route off opBNB shuts at that time, after LayerZero ended support for the network.
If Bitcoin is still above $80,000 after Wednesday's FOMC decision and Thursday's PCE data, the longs flushed Sunday into Monday were early more than wrong. If it slips, I think ETH leverage takes the first hit again. 🦁 — Khal
