Omni Network has integrated Superstate’s tokenized U.S. Treasuries fund, adding it to its balance sheet as part of efforts to optimize treasury management.
The interoperability protocol announced the partnership with Superstate on Feb. 17.
Its plan is to leverage Superstate’s Short Duration U.S. Government Securities Fund USTB as part of its treasury management strategy. Omni Network, powered by the OMNI token, will use the tokenized treasuries asset to grow its balance sheet.
This will help the team optimize their treasury management strategies “while maintaining liquidity and flexibility.”
Superstate’s USTB, currently a $274 million tokenized treasuries product, provides investment exposure to short-duration U.S. Treasuries. The fund allows holders to manage capital efficiently, with idle assets deployed to earn yields.

$XRP $ETH 21Shares files with SEC for spot Polkadot ETF Following the influx of new crypto ETF filings in the United States, asset management firm 21Shares has filed to launch a spot Polkadot ETF. Asset management firm 21Shares has filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch a spot Polkadot exchange-traded fund (ETF).
In a Jan. 31 SEC filing, 21Shares stated its intention to list the 21Shares Polkadot DOT $6.40 Trust on the Cboe BZX exchange, with cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase acting as the DOT custodian.
It comes just four years after 21Shares launched a similar product in Switzerland. In Feb 2021, the asset manager launched the world’s first Polkadot ETP on the Swiss SIX exchange.
#BTC##ETH##MAGA#Bitwise's Crypto Duo: SEC Gives Nod to Bitcoin-Ethereum ETF The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has just thrown a lifeline to Bitwise Asset Management, greenlighting their ambitious plan to launch an exchange-traded fund (ETF) tracking both Bitcoin and Ethereum. This isn't a full victory yet. The SEC has merely approved their Form 19b-4, a crucial first step on the regulatory rollercoaster. The real hurdle lies ahead: the SEC still needs to bless their Form S-1 registration application before this "crypto duo" ETF can hit the trading floor. So, what's the big deal? This ETF aims to offer investors a single, convenient entry point into the dynamic world of crypto, mirroring the market capitalization of Bitcoin and Ethereum. At the time of filing, this meant an 83/17 split in favor of the reigning crypto king, Bitcoin. The fund will cleverly calculate the market cap of these digital titans by multiplying their respective prices with their circulating supply. This move comes hot on the heels of a new crypto-friendly acting chair taking the reins at the SEC. Interestingly, Bitwise submitted their application back in November, a move that arguably benefited from the changing tides of the crypto landscape

$BTC Bitcoin Cash advocate Roger Ver has made a public plea to President Trump to commute his tax evasion charges. Bitcoin adopter Roger Ver has launched a social media campaign pleading with US President Donald Trump to pardon his tax evasion and mail fraud charges, claiming he is the victim of “lawfare” — just like recently pardoned Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht and Trump himself.
Currently awaiting extradition to the US, Ver says he faces “109 years” behind bars for crimes he did not commit. In his view, US authorities unjustly pursued him.
However, crypto proponents appear divided over whether Ver deserves a pardon. Some argue he did commit these crimes and that his character is what makes him worthy of the sheer size of the punishment.
“No one deserves to spend life in prison for tax evasion,” one X user wrote. “But Roger has definitely earned it.”
Tesla founder Elon Musk feels that Ver’s denouncement of his US citizenship makes him unworthy of a pardon. “Roger Ver gave up his US citizenship. No pardon for Ver,” he posted on Jan. 26. In the moments that followed, the Bitcoin Cash

$BTC Crypto Markets Tumble on AI Advancements, but Analysts Urge "Buy the Dip" Cryptocurrencies experienced a sharp decline overnight, mirroring a plunge in tech stocks led by Nvidia, following the unveiling of a more efficient artificial intelligence model by DeepSeek. Bitcoin, after reaching a high of $105,000 on Sunday, plummeted below $98,000 before recovering slightly to hover around $100,000. While some analysts warned of a deeper market correction, others, like Geoffrey Kendrick, Global Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered Bank, advocated a "buy the dip" strategy. Kendrick had previously cautioned about a potential 10-20% correction due to overoptimism regarding the administration's crypto initiatives. He believes the recent selloff has largely addressed these overvalued expectations. Although near-term price surges from the administration's policies might be limited, Kendrick anticipates significant long-term benefits for the sector through increased institutional investment. LondonCryptoClub analysts echoed this sentiment, describing the crypto selloff as a knee-jerk reaction to the DeepSeek announcement. They characterized the decline as a classic case of "fear, uncertainty, and doubt," typical of market lows within an upward trend. They advised caution due to potential broad market derisking but emphasized the continued attractiveness of "buying the dip" in the current market. At press time, Bitcoin was trading down over 4% at $99,800, while the Nasdaq 100 was down 3%, with Nvidia experiencing a 15% decline.

Looking at the SOL chart, it seems that if SOL can't break the 183-185 support zone, we could see a significant pump in SOL. This could be considered a major pump compared to the past month. However, the overall market sentiment needs to be positive for this to happen.
