Major U.S. Crypto Companies Continue New Product Initiatives

Several notable updates were recently announced by leading U.S. cryptocurrency exchanges and digital asset service providers.

One of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges announced the launch of trading for “institutional and advanced traders” in the U.S. The exchange’s U.S. “institutional-grade offering” complements its retail services, which were previously available to U.S. users. According to a blog post, the launch includes trading for 10 crypto assets, namely BTC, ETH, LTC, BCH, EOS, XLM, LINK, SOL, UNI and MATIC. The exchange also announced the launch of advanced trading features, including 100x leverage for qualified traders.

In another recent development, Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, announced the acquisition of Hashnote, the issuer of USYC, a “tokenized treasury and money market fund.” According to a blog post, Circle intends to fully integrate USYC with USDC, offering seamless access between TMMF collateral and USDC. The blog post states that the integration “will enable USYC to emerge as a preferred form of yield-bearing collateral on crypto exchanges, and also with custodians and prime brokers.”

Finally, asset tokenization platform Securitize recently announced new features for BUIDL, a major tokenized Treasury fund. According to a blog post, the first feature, “daily dividends,” will allow holders of BUIDL to receive dividends directly in their wallets daily Monday-Friday. The second feature, “intra-day redemptions,” will reportedly allow BUILL investors to “redeem their holdings at multiple intervals throughout the day, aligning with dynamic market conditions and operational demands.”
