Weekly Project Updates: Nasdaq Picks Pyth for Market Data Distribution, Securitize Lists on NYSE, Symbiotic Pivots to Collateral Market, etc

The RWA sector experienced significant institutional integration this week, highlighted by Nasdaq partnering with Pyth to distribute TotalView market data on-chain. Securitize achieved a major milestone by listing on the NYSE under the ticker SECZ, signaling increased legitimacy for tokenization infrastructure in traditional capital markets. Ondo Finance expanded its offerings by launching tokenized versions of BlackRock’s IVV ETF and Micron Technology stock, utilizing a SEC-compliant third-party custody framework. Meanwhile, EtherFi proposed a white-label Aave V4 instance on OP Mainnet to power its EtherFi Cash product, aiming to onboard $175 million in assets. Symbiotic pivoted its focus from restaking to a collateral marketplace, introducing Core V2 to enhance capital efficiency for RWA and credit use cases. Additionally, dYdX clarified its operational independence following the launch of Arcus, a platform for trading tokenized stocks on the Robinhood Chain. These developments collectively demonstrate a shift toward regulated, high-utility financial products bridging traditional assets with blockchain infrastructure.
