Brazils B3 stock exchange made headlines last month when its tokenized cows went viral.　　A farmer in southern Brazil was able to use 10 cows as collateral for a 100,000 Brazilian real ($19,600) loan by virtually herding them into a blockchain based holding pen, demonstrating how farmers can literally milk their assets to access credit.　　And it raises an obvious question: if cows can be tokenized, what cant be？　　From dairy cows to a years worth of farts, here are 10 of the strangest things to be tokenized onchain.　　1. A years worth of farts　　When BlackRock chief executive Larry Fink said every asset will eventually be tokenized, he probably wasnt thinking about flatulence.

Situational Awareness returns with $400M investment after nearly collapsing: Report

Situational Awareness, the hedge fund founded by former OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner, reportedly invested $400 million in a privately held company days after it nearly collapsed under margin calls.　　The fund invested $100 million in the same unnamed company in July, Bloomberg reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter. The latest investment was completed on Tuesday.　　Cointelegraph has approached Situational Awareness for comment.　　Assets at Situational Awareness fell about 78% in July, as an AI-stock sell-off triggered margin calls from Wall Street lenders.　　The fund sought fresh capital and considered selling stakes in private companies, according to the Financial Times.　　The fund subsequently sold most of its public equity portfolio to Ken Griffins Citadel, allowing it to repay lenders and retain its private holdings.　　Situational Awareness had invested heavily in power and data centers supporting AI, including Bitcoin miners expanding into AI computing.　　A May 18 filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission covering holdings as of March 31 showed about $1.11 billion in positions across seven Bitcoin mining stocks, including IREN, Core Scientific, Riot Platforms and CleanSpark.　　Magazine: Why Ray Dalio says Bitcoin cant replace gold

Bitcoin ETF inflows surge after Coldcard hack, but link is unclear: Bloomberg analyst

Demand for US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has accelerated over the past week, with a string of daily inflows coinciding with the Coldcard wallet hack — timing that has prompted speculation about whether some investors are reconsidering self-custody.　　According to Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, BlackRock‘s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB), ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) as well as Defiance Daily Target 2X Long MSTR ETF (MSBT) have recorded inflows every trading day since the weekend exploit, totaling roughly $620 million. The cumulative figure is consistent with Cointelegraph’s recent reporting on the ETF inflow streak.　　The Coldcard exploit drained more than $116 million worth of Bitcoin from over 5,200 wallet addresses, according to blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs.　　“I‘m not saying it’s connected, we just don‘t know,” Balchunas said in a post on X. “[Although] long-term I can’t imagine there arent some who migrate over.”　　Source: Eric Balchunas　　Related: Bitcoin Red Team reports 5K findings in sweeping security audit　　Coldcard exploit renews debate over self-custody risks　　The Coldcard hack renewed concerns that even hardware wallet users can be exposed to firmware flaws and software vulnerabilities, highlighting the operational risks that come with self-custody.　　The incident also reignited

Coinbases Base app will become 'less Base-centric' under Cobie, Jesse Pollak says

Quick TakePollak said Base is seeing growing demand across tokenization, trading, payments, and financing.He called rival blockchain launches from Robinhood and Stripe “validation” of Bases strategy.　　Coinbases Base app will become less closely tied to its namesake blockchain as new leader Jordan “Cobie” Fish focuses on building an all-encompassing trading platform, Base creator Jesse Pollak said Thursday.　　“As its becoming a trading app, its just becoming less Base-centric,” Pollak said to The Blocks Gareth Jenkinson during an interview on The Starting Block podcast. “As weve kind of broadened the aperture to trade everything, youre going to trade assets everywhere [and] add features from different networks.”　　Fish took over leadership of the Base app last month, allowing Pollak to refocus on the underlying Base blockchain and its push into trading, payments and financing. Fish initially joined Coinbase after the exchange acquired his crypto fundraising platform Echo for approximately $375 million in cash and stock last year.　　Pollak said the app had previously been more zoomed in on growing the Base ecosystem through products built directly on the network. However, under Fish, it will broaden its scope to incorporate assets and features from other blockchains.　　“He‘s going to be focused on just building the best trading product,”

The legislation sets rules for how crypto is issued, stored, accounted for, and traded, wrapping exchanges, digital depositories, brokers, and clearing houses into one framework.　　It isnt a free market. The law keeps the ban on using crypto and digital rights as payment for goods and services, and it blocks advertising that pitches crypto payments. Russia already legalized cryptocurrency mining in 2024, when Putin signed a separate bill green-lighting the industry, so this law fills the gap on trading and custody that the mining rules left open.　　How the market gets built　　Only organizations on a special government registry may run crypto exchanges, and existing operators get a grace period to register by July 1, 2027. Registered exchanges need at least 15 million rubles
