BNB Chain Launches Tokenization Solution

In crypto news today, BNB Chain has announced the launch of its one-stop tokenization solution.

Per the press release shared with Cryptonews, it provides a one-stop service to individuals and businesses interested in Web3 to easily tokenize their assets.

Users can fragment and tokenize their assets, benefiting from “robust compliance tools that ensure security and trustworthiness,” the team claimed.

The initial solution includes two key components:

  • Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization: focuses on converting tangible assets—such as real estate, art, and commodities—into tradable tokens issued on the BNB Chain;
  • company tokenization: enables businesses to issue their tokens in collaboration with various partners.

The solution, says the company, is particularly beneficial for individuals and small business owners. It can help them streamline operations, improve asset efficiency, and support business growth and development.

Coding and blockchain knowledge are not needed.

“In the future, BNB Chain will introduce more sections and tools into its tokenization solution, such as loyalty programs and mini-apps embedded in the social platform, to enable more individuals and companies to join Web3 seamlessly,” they added.

‘Liquidity is Paramount for Both Large and Small Investors’ – HTX Ventures

Edward Chen, Managing Partner of HTX Ventures, the global investment division of the HTX exchange, comments on the transforming crypto investment landscape and managing risk in a volatile crypto market.

According to the press release, Chen argued that liquidity is vital for both large and small investors, especially during periods of heightened market volatility.

“Maintaining liquidity is paramount in this space,” Chen said. “For smaller investors, the risks are often higher when dealing with less liquid assets.”

He continued: “That’s why we provide tools like stop-loss orders, portfolio tracking, and algorithmic risk management to help mitigate these risks and protect them during market swings.”

Exchanges manage liquidity by maintaining deep order books, employing algorithmic trading, and utilizing price stability mechanisms, he added.

This ensures trades are executed smoothly across different market conditions.

Furthermore, he said, exchanges work on educating smaller investors on understanding market depth and liquidity management. This promotes informed decision-making in a highly volatile environment, Chen argued.

“Such initiatives are crucial as the crypto market continues to attract a broader range of participants, many of whom are new to the space,” he concluded.

In addition to its self-mining fleet, Core Scientific provided data center hosting services, as well as technology and operating support for approximately 16,000 hosted, customer-owned Bitcoin miners.

This represented some 9% of the Bitcoin miners operating in the company’s data centers as of October 31.

Customer-owned Bitcoin miners earned an estimated 52 BTC last month, including the rewards paid to the company per the proceeds-sharing agreements.
