ShelterZoom debuts the first-ever ‘Genesis Control’ solution via document tokenization, tapping into a $2.5 trillion market
ShelterZoom secures trademark rights for its ‘Single Source of Truth’® tech and announces upgrades to its suite of SSOT® blockchain solutions. The solution empowers individuals and businesses across all industries to fully control their sensitive documents shared via email attachments or the newly launched iOS mobile app to operate securely, easily and sustainably.
ShelterZoom, a leading blockchain-based, smart-document SaaS provider, was awarded a registered trademark for its suite of industry-agnostic Single Source of Truth (SSOT) blockchain tools. Chiefly composed of Document GPS, DocuWalk and document tokenization and tracking APIs, ShelterZoom offers businesses and governments the first-ever native email extension using blockchain security to control and track email attachments, effectively representing the only true GENCON (Genesis Controlled) solution on the market. While ORCON is an access control policy used by the U.S. government requiring recipients to gain originator’s approval for re-dissemination of disseminated digital content, GENCON refers to all other industries including gov-tech.
In today’s cloud-based business environment, all organizations are vulnerable to cyberattacks in the form of business-email compromise (BEC). These attacks threaten all cloud-based organizations and have cost organizations $43 billion in losses since 2016. Theft of sensitive data from email accounts is one of the biggest threats BEC attacks present, and companies often have trouble surviving, let alone rebounding, from these types of breaches.
Document GPS leverages blockchain technology to securely tokenize content for the purpose of protecting ownership of original work. With Document GPS, documents or other types of file attachment can be sent securely through the email extension, empowering organizations to track the content they send out and revoke access even after the recipient has opened the email. The feature can also prevent downloads, significantly reducing excessive carbon emissions and data pollution from the repeated uploading and downloading of tens of billions of attachments being sent on a daily basis.
ShelterZoom’s SSOT solutions’ classification provides a true GENCON infrastructure, enabling it to be leveraged by government officials to share highly classified information. Gov-tech is expected to blossom into a nearly $1 trillion industry by 2025, but other industries including finance, real estate, legal, healthcare, media, and digital preservation and publishing, open up a combined potential market of over $2.5 trillion for Document GPS by the end of the decade.
ShelterZoom also debuts Document GPS on the Microsoft and Apple stores, along with enhanced security and performance upgrades including:
- Enhanced cryptographic capabilities to further enhance security and to mitigate loss of control over attachments, providing users with the highest Web3 security environment throughout the content’s journey.
- Folders, or envelopes, are now available on the Gmail desktop version of Document GPS which allows users to easily organize their content through the use of eTags to appropriately label each individual document. This feature is coming to Microsoft during Q1 of 2023.
- Mobile app will be available later this month on iOS, and launching soon on other platforms.
“Single Source of Truth is one of the core principles of what we deliver, so it is wonderful to have the importance of this technology recognized with an official trademark,” says Chao Cheng-Shorland, CEO and Co-Founder of ShelterZoom. “The GENCON label solidifies the value that SSOT can bring to a wide range of sectors. With Document GPS and DocuWalk, organizations across all industries, ranging from healthcare to financial services to legal, can navigate the internet with even more security and flexibility, allowing the management of all vital documents and contracts to be done efficiently, conveniently and transparently.”

1. FT Analysis: Crypto Regulation and Institutional Adoption
Overview. The Financial Times reports on evolving global regulatory landscapes and their impact on institutional cryptocurrency adoption. FT highlights how major funds and asset managers navigate compliance frameworks in the US, EU, and Asia to integrate digital assets into traditional portfolios.

- Asia’s Sandbox Approaches: Hong Kong and Singapore expand sandbox programs, offering controlled environments for DeFi and tokenization trials.
Opinion. Regulatory clarity is the linchpin for institutional inflows. While stringent frameworks may seem burdensome, they ultimately foster market confidence and prevent systemic risks. Asset managers should proactively engage with policymakers, leveraging sandbox insights to shape pragmatic, innovation-friendly regulations.
2. Signing Day Sports Seals Deal with Blockchain Digital Infrastructure
Overview. According to TradingView’s Reuters feed, Signing Day Sports has executed a definitive agreement to acquire Blockchain Digital Infrastructure, a profitable data-hosting specialist serving DeFi and NFT platforms.

- Remittance Solutions: Deployment of Stellar-based rails reduces remittance costs by up to 60%, benefiting diaspora communities.
- Member Identity Management: Verifiable credential systems streamline KYC processes, reducing onboarding time from days to hours.
Opinion. As community-focused institutions, credit unions can leverage blockchain to reassert their value proposition—offering cost-effective, transparent services that rival large banks and fintechs. Success will hinge on member education and seamless integration with legacy core banking systems.

HTX DAO and HTX Ventures at Bitcoin 2025: Empowering the Global Rise of the Bitcoin Ecosystem
SINGAPORE, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — HTX DAO and HTX Ventures, two integral forces within the HTX ecosystem, proudly participated in Bitcoin 2025, the world’s premier Bitcoin summit held in Las Vegas. Engaging with global crypto leaders, they actively explored the future of Bitcoin and the broader digital asset industry—while supporting innovation and accelerating transformation across the decentralized ecosystem.
Justin Sun, Advisor to HTX and Founder of TRON, joined a high-profile panel discussion during the event, where he shared invaluable insights on Bitcoin’s evolution, WBTC’s critical role in smart contract integration, and how U.S. policy signals are shaping worldwide adoption.
“One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned since entering crypto in 2012 is: never bet against Bitcoin,” said Sun. “We’ve already seen Bitcoin surpass $110,000, and I firmly believe that as long as we keep building, Bitcoin will continue to hit new highs.”
Reflecting on his recent engagement with U.S. President Donald Trump, Sun emphasized the significance of political support for the industry, “President Trump’s backing is monumental. Without his support, Bitcoin wouldn’t have broken $100,000. The U.S. plays a leading role in global financial regulation—once it sets a clear crypto policy, other countries will follow. This will speed up global Bitcoin adoption and bring more people into the crypto space.”
Sun also spoke in depth about Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) as a gateway for unlocking Bitcoin’s potential in the smart contract world, “WBTC enables Bitcoin holders to interact with DeFi, earn yield, and use BTC as collateral across Ethereum, TRON, Solana and more. It transforms Bitcoin into a programmable asset. With proof-of-reserve, on-chain transparency, and cold storage security, WBTC is both safe and powerful.”
Looking ahead, Sun forecasted that traditional financial products will inevitably migrate onto the blockchain, creating new opportunities for yield and arbitrage, “WBTC is just the first step. In the future, all financial products—stocks, bonds, stablecoins—will be brought on-chain. Transparency and decentralization will define the next generation of global finance.”
Immersive Community Experience by HTX DAO and HTX Ventures
During the event, HTX DAO and HTX Ventures unveiled a life-size replica of Justin Sun’s iconic space capsule, inviting attendees to participate in an immersive and shareable experience. Visitors were encouraged to follow @HTX_DAO and @Ventures_HTX on X (formerly Twitter), and post creative selfies using the hashtag #HTXDAOLasVegas. Winners received up to 100 USDT in crypto rewards. The activation quickly became a highlight of the event.
Notably, Bitcoin 2025 gathered an impressive lineup of high-profile speakers, including U.S. Vice President JD Vance, Eric Trump, White House advisor on AI and crypto David Sacks, MicroStrategy Co-Founder Michael Saylor, and BitMEX Co-Founder Arthur Hayes. Throughout the conference, these leaders engaged in in-depth discussions on Bitcoin ecosystem development, regulatory policy, technological innovation, and global adoption—providing valuable direction for the industry’s future.
