Institutional crypto trading platform LMAX Group is working with Morgan Stanley and KBW to evaluate strategic options that could include a sale or public listing, according to three people familiar with the matter.
The London based company could seek a valuation of up to $5 billion. Options under consideration include a sale, SPAC merger, or IPO in the United States or Europe, with a Nasdaq listing currently the preferred route.
LMAX is reportedly in no rush to complete a transaction as weak crypto markets weigh on the sector, while its foreign exchange business provides some protection from the downturn.
LMAX operates institutional trading venues for foreign exchange and digital assets, providing execution, liquidity, and market infrastructure to banks, brokers, hedge funds, and asset managers.
The company has expanded its digital asset operations over the past year. In February, it launched a 24 hour multi asset exchange for foreign exchange, digital assets, commodities, and tokenized securities.
The launch followed a $150 million strategic investment from Ripple in January to support the adoption of its RLUSD stablecoin across LMAX trading and settlement infrastructure.
A $5 billion valuation would represent a fivefold increase from 2021, when J.C. Flowers acquired a 30% stake for $300 million, valuing LMAX at approximately $1 billion.
The potential transaction comes as crypto exchanges and financial infrastructure companies pursue deals to expand institutional trading, custody, settlement, tokenization, and stablecoin services.

Stablecoins: The Quiet Backbone of Crypto
Everyone talks about Bitcoin and Ethereum$ETH , but the real workhorse of crypto$BITCOIN is something much less volatile: Stablecoins.
If crypto is going to replace or work alongside traditional money, it needs something stable. That's exactly what stablecoins do.
1. What is a Stablecoin?
A stablecoin is a cryptocurrency designed to have a stable price. While BTC can drop 10% in a day, a stablecoin like USDT or USDC tries to stay at exactly $1.
Think of it as the bridge between the old financial world and the new one. You get the speed and freedom of crypto, with the stability of dollars.
2. The 3 Main Types of Stablecoins
Not all stablecoins are created equal. They keep their peg in different ways:
a) Fiat-Backed - The Most Popular
Backed 1:1 by real money in a bank. For every 1 USDT, Tether claims to hold $1 in reserve.
Examples: USDT, USDC, FDUSD - These dominate 90%+ of the market.
b) Crypto-Backed - Decentralized and Over-Collateralized
Backed by other crypto, not dollars. Because crypto is volatile, they lock more value than they issue. For example, lock $150 worth of ETH to mint $100 of stablecoin.
Example: DAI by MakerDAO
c) Algorithmic - No Collateral, Just Code
These use smart contracts to automatically increase or decrease supply to maintain the price. High-risk, high-innovation.
Remember: The Terra/LUNA UST collapse in 2022 showed how dangerous a failed algorithmic model can be. This is why transparency matters.
3. Why Do We Actually Need Them?
Stablecoins aren't just for traders. They solve real problems:
1. For Traders: The safe parking spot. When the market is crashing, you don't need to cash out to your bank. You convert to USDT and wait.
2. For Everyday Payments: Sending $100 from Pakistan to family via bank can take 3 days and cost $15 in fees. With USDT on Tron or BNB Chain, it takes seconds and costs less than $1.
3. For Earning & DeFi: This is huge. Instead of keeping dollars in a bank at 0-2% interest, people stake stablecoins on Binance Earn, Aave, or other platforms to get much better yields.
4. For Protection Against Inflation: In many countries, people convert their local currency to USDT/USDC to protect their savings from inflation and devaluation.
4. The Risks No One Should Ignore
Don't share an article that only talks about the good. Be honest:
• Centralization Risk: Fiat-backed coins like USDT/USDC are controlled by a company. They can freeze your funds if required by law. • Reserve Transparency: Do they really have the dollars they claim? Always check for regular audits. • De-Pegging Risk: Even stablecoins can lose their $1 peg for a short time during extreme market panic.
Rule: Never keep all your money in one stablecoin. Diversify between USDT, USDC, and FDUSD.
5. The Future: Why Stablecoins Are About to Get Bigger
The future isn't just crypto traders using stablecoins. The real adoption is coming.
PayPal launched PYUSD. Visa and Mastercard are settling payments in USDC$USDC . The US and EU are now creating clear laws for stablecoins (MiCA in Europe, new bills in the US).
The next billion users won't buy crypto first - they will receive their first stablecoin payment first.
Final Thought
Bitcoin was made to be a better version of money, but stablecoins are the ones actually being used as money today.
They are not perfect, but without them, the crypto ecosystem simply wouldn't work

With the Senate facing a narrow window to pass the Clarity Act before the August recess, White House crypto advisor Patrick Witt has secured a deferment from the Georgia Army National Guard service that threatened to pull him away at a very crucial moment.
In the official post, Patrick Witt said, “Last week, it was reported that I was set to leave for mandatory training as part of my service in the Georgia Army National Guard, right before Clarity hits the Senate floor. While I remain committed to fulfilling my service obligation, I am grateful to report that my training has been deferred, and that I will be able to see this effort through to the end
According to multiple sources, the bill still needs 7 votes of Democratic members to reach the required threshold of 60 votes to pass. However, there is still major debate on final negotiations over ethics language and consumer protections.
Witt had already postponed his Guard training once in April to advance the CLARITY Act. In the post, he thanked President Trump and former crypto czar David Sacks for the opportunity to remain on the job.
Earlier today, Patrick Witt took an indirect shot at US lawmakers for the delay in the approval of the Clarity Act while countries like Russia are actively working with pro-crypto legislation. Patrick Witt quoted an earlier post which he shared a few days ago, saying that “The world won’t wait on America forever. We can either lead the way on digital assets by passing the Clarity Act, or watch as someone else sets the rules of global finance for us.”
This week is one of the final opportunities for the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) to appear in the Senate before the August recess. There is a very small window of legislative days as lawmakers are planning to depart Washington around August 7-10. If the bill misses this time period, then it would be postponed until the post-midterm lame-duck session or even 2027 due to the midterm election campaign.
This bill will divide regulatory roles between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) for digital assets. This bill has already been approved by the House in 2025 and advanced through the Senate Banking Committee with a 15-9 vote in May 2026.
The bill is currently on the Senate calendar, but a floor vote has not yet been scheduled. Senator Cynthia Lummis has stated that the bill is “ready for prime time” and it could be introduced in the coming days.
However, there is still discussion around major provisions mentioned in the bill. Democrats are demanding stronger ethics rules. In their demand, they need provisions that would ban federal officials from holding or trading certain digital assets. This includes the President, Vice President, and members of Congress.
U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly urged the Senate to pass the bill with the support of Senate leaders Cynthia Lummis, Tim Scott, who chairs the Banking Committee, and Majority Leader John Thune. A revised merged draft is expected to be introduced this week. The possible cloture motion or floor debate is expected to be targeted before the August recess.

The buybacks support Numerai’s staking system, which brings together thousands of independent data scientists. Contributors stake $NMR on their machine learning models and receive rewards when their predictions perform well. The resulting Stake-Weighted Meta Model is used by Numerai’s hedge fund.
Since the first buyback in July 2025, the network has grown significantly. The number of active accounts has more than doubled, while the number of model submissions has also increased. Numerai has also introduced new infrastructure, including Numerai Skills, Numerai Model Context Protocol (MCP), and Atomic Blockchain Staking, which support more autonomous participation by AI systems.
The company now manages around $700 million in assets, compared with approximately $560 million at the end of 2025. $NMR has a fixed supply of 11 million tokens, and Numerai uses its treasury to fund staking rewards and tournament payouts. Before the latest purchase, the treasury held about 3.1 million $NMR.

Franklin Templeton has expanded its $1.5 billion BENJI tokenized money market fund to $BNB Chain, extending one of the world’s largest tokenized investment products to another public blockchain. Crypto analyst ALLINCRYPTO said Stellar laid the foundation for the fund before Franklin Templeton expanded BENJI into a multi-chain product.
In a post on X, $BNB Chain cited data from RWA.xyz showing that about $1.5 billion of BENJI assets are now on its network, representing 61.71% of the fund’s total value. Holdings on the blockchain have jumped 1,226% over the past month, making it the fund’s largest network.
$BNB Chain’s rapid growth has reshaped the BENJI fund’s blockchain distribution. Stellar, which previously held the largest share of the fund, now ranks second with $583 million in tokenized assets, representing 23.76% of the total, according to RWA.xyz. The network’s holdings fell 11.81% over the past month as more assets shifted to $BNB Chain.
Coming third is Ethereum with its allocation amounting to $159.1 million, which amounts to 6.48% of the value of BENJI assets. This is followed by Base, Arbitrum, and Avalanche, which have significantly lower allocations. Together, these three form less than 6% of BENJI’s total asset values.
Franklin Templeton has been expanding its use of blockchain technology since 2021, when it launched the first U.S.-registered mutual fund to use blockchain for processing transactions and recording ownership. The firm has since extended the BENJI platform across several blockchains, supporting tokenized money market funds, mutual funds, and other investment products.
The move to $BNB Chain adds another network to that strategy, expanding investor access through another blockchain network that offers lower transaction costs and faster transaction processing.. “Our goal is to meet more investors where they’re active,” Roger Bayston, Franklin Templeton’s head of digital assets, said.
Franklin Templeton’s expansion comes as tokenization continues to gain ground in traditional finance. Earlier this week, DTCC completed its first live production trades involving tokenized securities, another sign that major financial institutions are moving blockchain technology beyond pilot projects.
As more firms adopt tokenized versions of traditional assets, blockchain networks are increasingly competing to host regulated financial products. ranklin Templeton’s expansion reflects the broader push by asset managers to bring traditional financial products onto public blockchain networks.
