US SEC Delays Planned “Innovation Exemption” for Tokenized Stock Trading. According to Bloomberg, the proposal, which had been expected this week, remains under review as regulators continue collecting feedback from market participants. The SEC has reportedly consulted hundreds of industry stakeholders while evaluating how the rules could be implemented effectively. Under the proposed framework, platforms offering tokenized stocks would need to provide investors with the same rights as traditional shareholders, including dividend payments and voting privileges. However, regulators and market participants have also raised concerns about verifying ownership on blockchain networks and the possibility that unauthorized entities could issue stock-linked tokens without public companies’ consent.

There’s a 53% Chance the $XRP Broadening Wedge Structure Lifts Prices to $11, @egragcrypto Highlights. #Ripple XRP has dropped 11.6% since May 14, trading within a descending broadening wedge pattern. The price formed deeper lows at $1.61, $1.37, and $1.1 between April 2025 and February 2026, forming the lower trendline of the pattern. EGRAG Crypto says there is a 53% that the pattern eventually sends XRP toward the $7 to $11 range. XRP would have to first breach the structure’s upper trendline at $3 to soar upward. The $1.11 acts as critical support, and XRP could see a possible drop to $0.32 if it fails.

$XRP Whale Transactions Worth $1M+ Crash 57% in 9 Days, Martinez Highlights. XRP has dropped to $1.35 after recording five consecutive intraday declines for the first time in two months. Amid the price correction, whale transactions worth $1 million and above have dropped to 67. This represents a 57% decline in whale transactions from the 157 high nine days ago. Analyst Martinez says the drop in whale activity could indicate a period of compression that may lead to large price swings. If XRP surges above $1.5, it could target $1.8, but a drop below $1.29 could be bearish.

Silicon Valley Law Firm Fenwick & West Reaches $54M Deal in Lawsuits Tied to FTX Collapse. Silicon Valley law firm Fenwick & West, which previously served as primary outside counsel for FTX US before its 2022 collapse, has agreed to pay $54 million to resolve claims that it played a role in enabling fraud connected to Sam Bankman-Fried, according to a court filing released on Friday. The settlement is part of a broader second wave of FTX-related class agreements filed in federal court in Miami before U.S. District Judge K. Michael Moore. In the same set of proceedings, auditor Prager Metis agreed to pay $11.75 million, while former Miami Heat player Udonis Haslem will contribute $420,000 to settle allegations tied to promotional claims. Despite Fenwick’s denial of any wrongdoing, the legal fallout remains ongoing. The firm is still a defendant in a separate $525 million lawsuit in Washington, D.C., brought by 20 FTX investors, which also names multiple attorneys and other parties and alleges malpractice, fraud, and gross negligence.
