According to @justinsuntron, a recent SEC filing outlines a $100 million private investment in public equity (PIPE) deal, paid entirely in TRX tokens, giving Justin Sun’s father control of NASDAQ-listed SRM Entertainment, which will be renamed Tron Inc. The filing reveals the new entity plans to adopt a MicroStrategy-like corporate treasury by holding up to $210 million in TRX, as reported by the Financial Times. Despite the announcement, the initial market reaction was negative, with the TRX token declining 2.5% to trade at $0.27 and SRM stock falling 15%. Analysis from the source suggests this move could be a significant infrastructure play, positioning Tron Inc. as a public market proxy for stablecoin payment rails in emerging markets, similar to Visa's IPO. The Tron network currently facilitates 30% of all stablecoin transactions and holds half of all circulating USDT, according to DeFi Llama data, while CryptoQuant reports that 59% of May's USDT volume on Tron came from whale transactions exceeding $1 million.

According to @StockMKTNewz, Elon Musk's platform X will 'soon' offer investment and trading services, a move confirmed by CEO Linda Yaccarino in an interview with the Financial Times. Given Musk's known affinity for cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin (DOGE) and Tesla's significant Bitcoin (BTC) holdings, traders anticipate the integration of digital assets. In a major infrastructure development, Tron (TRX) is pursuing a public listing on the NASDAQ via a reverse merger, which will create 'Tron Inc.' While the initial market reaction saw TRX trading flat, the move offers equity investors exposure to a network handling 30% of all stablecoin transactions, according to DeFi Llama data, and serving as a key payment rail in emerging markets. Meanwhile, institutional demand for crypto remains robust, with digital asset investment products seeing $1.9 billion in inflows last week, pushing the year-to-date total to a record $13.2 billion, per a CoinShares report. This trend was led by inflows into Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). In other news, OSL facilitated the first public company treasury allocation into Solana (SOL) in Hong Kong for MemeStrategy.

According to @anchorage, stablecoins are transitioning from being primarily used for consumer peer-to-peer transactions to becoming key tools in fintech and now entering a new institutional phase. Anchorage stands out as the only federally chartered digital asset bank in the United States, positioning itself to capture significant institutional flows and custody solutions as demand for regulated stablecoin infrastructure increases. This shift is expected to drive broader adoption among institutional investors and facilitate larger trading volumes and more complex trading strategies in the crypto market, potentially boosting liquidity and market depth for stablecoins and related digital assets (Source: @anchorage).
