BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager with $14 trillion under management, filed paperwork with the SEC on Friday to launch a new tokenized Treasury reserve fund and add blockchain-based shares to an existing $7 billion money-market fund — its most concrete expansion yet into tokenized finance since the launch of its BUIDL fund in 2024.A new tokenized Treasury reserve fundThe first filing proposes the BlackRock Daily Reinvestment Stablecoin Reserve Vehicle, a new fund that would invest in cash, short-term U.S. Treasury securities, and overnight repurchase agreements backed by Treasuries. The fund would issue OnChain Shares through a permissioned system connected to multiple public blockchains, with Securitize Transfer Agent LLC maintaining official ownership records. A permissioned framework would link wallet addresses to investor identities while preserving offchain identity records.The filing did not specify which blockchains the fund will initially support. The minimum investment threshold is set at $3 million, targeting institutional rather than retail investors.Onchain shares for a $7 billion money-market fundThe second filing proposes creating an onchain share class for the BlackRock Select Treasury Based Liquidity Fund, an existing traditional money-market fund with nearly $7 billion in assets under management. Under the proposal, BNY Mellon Investment Servicing would maintain official ownership records on Ethereum using ERC-20 token standards, with blockchain records combined with offchain identity systems serving as the fund's official shareholder registry.The move would bring one of BlackRock's largest and most established cash-management products directly onto a public blockchain for the first time.Building on BUIDL's successFriday's filings extend a tokenization strategy BlackRock has been building since 2024, when it launched its first tokenized money-market fund, BUIDL, in partnership with Securitize. BUIDL has since grown to approximately $2.5 billion in assets and has found a secondary use case across crypto markets as collateral for borrowing and leveraged trading — a development that has accelerated institutional demand for the product well beyond its original design.BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has been an outspoken advocate for tokenization as a mechanism for modernizing financial infrastructure, arguing that blockchain-based settlement can speed up transaction cycles, enable around-the-clock trading, and improve transparency across capital markets.The market context: $30 billion and growing fastThe two filings land as the tokenized real-world asset market crosses a significant milestone. The sector has grown more than 200% over the past year and now exceeds $30 billion in total value, according to data from rwa.xyz. A joint report by Boston Consulting Group and Ripple projected the market could reach $18.9 trillion by 2033 — a figure that, if realized, would represent one of the largest structural shifts in the history of financial markets.BlackRock's continued expansion into the space is both a validation of that trajectory and an acceleration of it. When the world's largest asset manager files twice in a single day to deepen its onchain footprint, it sends a signal to institutional peers, regulators, and crypto markets alike that tokenized finance is moving from experiment to infrastructure.

Trader Darryl Wang has expressed that Bitcoin must surpass the $80,000 mark to initiate a broader cryptocurrency rally next week. According to NS3.AI, Wang believes that if Bitcoin achieves this milestone, other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, Solana, and Hyperliquid could also enter a new upward trend.

SEO Title: Altcoins Surge as Bitcoin Holds Above $80,000 — SEC Chair Backs Onchain Finance RulesMeta Description: ICP, NEAR, and UNI led altcoin gains on May 9 as Bitcoin held above $80,000, stocks hit record highs, and SEC Chair Paul Atkins signaled new rules for onchain trading and blockchain settlement.Altcoins Rally and Crypto Stocks Rebound as Bitcoin Holds $80,000 and SEC Backs Onchain FinanceRisk appetite swept through crypto markets on Friday as Bitcoin held above $80,000, altcoins posted broad gains, and SEC Chair Paul Atkins signaled regulatory support for onchain trading infrastructure — giving both token and equity markets fresh tailwinds heading into the weekend.Altcoins lead the chargeThe day's biggest movers came from the altcoin space. Internet Computer Protocol's ICP jumped nearly 12%, leading majors higher. NEAR Protocol and Uniswap each gained roughly 7%. SOL, Chainlink, SUI, and DOT all rose around 5%. The breadth of the move — spanning layer-one protocols, DeFi tokens, and infrastructure plays — pointed to broad-based risk appetite rather than isolated speculation.Bitcoin itself held above $80,000 throughout the session, providing the stable foundation altcoins needed to push higher without the drag of a faltering flagship asset.Stocks at record highs add fuelEquities provided a constructive backdrop. The Nasdaq climbed 2.2% to fresh all-time highs, while the S&P 500 added 0.85% and also closed at a record. The strong jobs report released Friday morning — 115,000 payrolls added in April against expectations of 62,000, with unemployment holding at 4.3% — reinforced the view that the U.S. economy remains resilient, keeping risk appetite elevated across both traditional and crypto markets.Coinbase rebounds 10% from session lowsCrypto-linked equities rebounded alongside tokens, led by Coinbase. Shares recovered 10% from their session lows despite a difficult 24 hours for the exchange. Thursday's earnings report had revealed a $398 million quarterly loss alongside softer trading volumes, and Friday morning brought an additional blow when a several-hour platform outage — tied to an AWS failure — drew criticism from users. The outage was fully resolved later in the day.Despite the weak quarter, several Wall Street analysts focused on longer-term tailwinds rather than the near-term miss, pointing to Coinbase's positioning around stablecoin growth and incoming crypto regulation as reasons to look past a difficult Q1.SEC Chair Atkins backs onchain finance rulesThe catalyst that gave Friday's rally its clearest directional narrative came from Washington. SEC Chair Paul Atkins said the agency is weighing new rulemaking around onchain trading systems, crypto custody infrastructure, and blockchain-based settlement rails — framing the move as a response to finance's increasing convergence with AI and distributed ledger technology. Atkins also reiterated support for congressional efforts to advance crypto market structure legislation.The comments were read by investors as a meaningful signal that the regulatory environment for tokenization and blockchain-based financial infrastructure is becoming more supportive rather than more restrictive — a shift that carried direct implications for a cluster of related equities.Digital asset infrastructure stocks surged in response. A tokenization-focused firm rose 6% following its announcement earlier in the week of a deeper push into the space. A digital asset infrastructure company surged 10%. A special purpose acquisition vehicle planning to merge with a BlackRock-backed tokenization firm gained 4.3%.The bigger pictureFriday's session illustrated how quickly sentiment can shift in crypto markets when multiple tailwinds align. A stable Bitcoin price, record equity highs, a strong jobs print, and a positive regulatory signal from the SEC's chair all landed on the same day — producing the kind of broad-based rally across tokens and crypto equities that had been absent for much of the week. Whether that momentum carries into the following week will depend largely on whether Bitcoin can convert its $80,000 hold into a decisive breakout above the level traders have been watching.

Crypto trader Eugene Ng Ah Sio said on May 9 that multiple charts across the cryptocurrency market are showing signs of bottoming out, with Bitcoin hovering around $80,000 and altcoins positioned for a potential breakout from their current trading ranges."Multiple charts look like they're close to bottoming out," Ng Ah Sio wrote on his personal channel. "Bitcoin is currently hovering around $80,000 — I think the market will start a real big move, hopefully upward, in the next week or so, and many altcoins are also expected to break out of their current trading range."Why the setup looks favorable: thin positioning and low open interestThe trader's bullish lean is rooted in market structure rather than price momentum alone. Ng Ah Sio pointed to overall trading volume and open interest levels as evidence that most cryptocurrencies currently require relatively little marginal buying pressure to move prices higher — a setup that can amplify upside moves when they do occur.His read is that market participants remain underallocated to most crypto assets at current levels, meaning there is room for significant capital to rotate in without hitting heavy resistance from existing positioning.The trigger Bitcoin needsDespite the constructive setup, Ng Ah Sio was clear about what the market needs to confirm the move. Bitcoin must break through the $80,000 level cleanly and decisively — not just touch it and retreat. A definitive break above that level, he argued, would be the catalyst that unlocks the broader altcoin rally he is anticipating.He identified ETH, SOL, and HYPE as the key altcoins to watch, noting that these assets taking the lead and establishing a clear upward trend would be the signal that a new market cycle leg is underway.The riskNg Ah Sio acknowledged the scenario does not play out automatically. His concern is that Bitcoin gets pushed back below $80,000 before a clean breakout is established — a failure that would likely delay or invalidate the altcoin setup he is tracking. The difference between a sustained breakout and another rejection at this level, he suggested, will define whether the next major move is up or whether the market needs more time to build a base.

US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $145.7 million in net outflows on May 8, 2026, according to Farside data, while Ethereum spot ETFs moved in the opposite direction with $3.6 million in net inflows — a modest but notable divergence between the two leading crypto ETF categories.Bitcoin ETF outflows: Fidelity leads the retreatFidelity's FBTC bore the brunt of the day's Bitcoin ETF outflows, recording $97.6 million in net redemptions — accounting for roughly two-thirds of the total $145.7 million that left the Bitcoin ETF complex on the day. The remaining outflows were distributed across other funds in the space.The day's figures extend a pattern of choppy flow data for Bitcoin ETFs in May, following a strong late-April inflow streak that had accumulated nearly $1.7 billion before reversing earlier this week.

Anthropic's Interpretability Research Team recently published an empirical study titled 'Emotion Concepts and Their Function in Large Language Models.' According to PANews, the study delves into the deep emotional concept representations, known as emotion vectors, within the Claude Sonnet 4.5 large language model. The research provides evidence that AI possesses emotion vectors and confirms that these vectors can causally drive AI behavior.

Global oil inventories are being consumed at a record pace due to disruptions in Persian Gulf oil transport caused by the Iran conflict. According to Odaily, this depletion is eroding buffer stocks originally intended to mitigate supply shocks, increasing the risk of extreme price surges and shortages. With the Strait of Hormuz nearly closed for two months, options for governments and industries to counter the impact of over 1 billion barrels of lost supply are dwindling. The rapid consumption of inventories suggests that even after the conflict ends, the market will remain vulnerable to future supply interruptions for an extended period. Morgan Stanley estimates that between March 1 and April 25, global oil inventories decreased by approximately 4.8 million barrels per day, significantly surpassing previous quarterly inventory reduction peaks compiled by the International Energy Agency. Crude oil accounts for nearly 60% of this reduction, with the remainder being refined products. It is crucial for the oil system to establish a minimum inventory level. Natasha Kaneva, head of global commodities research at JPMorgan, indicates that this means reaching the untouchable portion of safety stocks before inventories truly bottom out.
