NEW YORK, Aug. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Platonic, a blockchain infrastructure technology company, proudly announces the launch of its cutting-edge decentralized tokenization platform. Developed to empower financial institutions, Platonic’s platform enables the tokenization of a wide range of assets with unprecedented levels of data privacy and security. The company is positioned to be a driving force in the technological evolution of the financial services industry.
Platonic is reinventing tokenization in capital markets. Its patented Layer 1 blockchain prioritizes security and client data protection. Having facilitated hundreds of billions in transactions already through active pilot programs, Platonic’s technology enables limitless, secure tokenization for financial institutions.
“Our vision is to disrupt tokenization with a fresh take on how issuers and investors interact using advanced technology to build a decentralized network,” said Violet Abtahi, founder and CEO of Platonic. “Regardless of the role in the asset lifecycle, our technology will connect customers and partners, automate workflows, and reach new markets, while maintaining complete confidentiality and control of proprietary information.”

By building a vendor and broker-agnostic decentralized network that prioritizes security and data protection, Platonic is poised to transform the future of finance.
Abtahi continued, “As the financial industry is moving beyond blockchain experimentation to implementing market-ready solutions, Platonic is committed to serving as the catalyst for advancements in digital assets, driving innovation in capital markets.”

Movement Network Foundation Announces Public Mainnet Beta Now Live with $250M+ TVL
Innovative day-one liquidity fuels the latest Move blockchain network launch
GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Movement Network Foundation, the organization dedicated to advancing MoveVM technology, today announced the successful launch of Movement Public Mainnet Beta, with an impressive $250M in at-launch Total Value Locked (TVL) from the Cornucopia program. This milestone enables permissionless smart contract deployment and user onboarding for the first time and allows everyone to freely build on and use Movement, the only Move-based chain that settles to Ethereum.
Cornucopia Deepens Liquidity
“Securing over $233 million in TVL through our Cornucopia program is a clear validation of the market’s confidence in Movement,” said Cooper Scanlon, Co-Founder of Movement Labs. “This level of day-one liquidity is exceptionally rare for a new network and gives us, our builders, and our community a significant advantage. It allows us to skip the months-long bootstrapping phase and immediately provide the foundation needed for meaningful DeFi adoption and utility.”
Cornucopia provides Movement Network with substantial day-one liquidity across BTC, ETH, MOVE, and stablecoin assets, addressing one of the primary challenges new networks face: the “cold start” problem. Developed with industry leaders including Concrete, Veda Labs, Echelon and Canopy, this robust financial foundation enables Movement to support sophisticated DeFi applications from day one.
Public Mainnet Beta Launch: Features
Movement Network is a secure and scalable network of Move-based chains secured by Ethereum, creating safer execution environments through the Move programming language originally developed by Meta to power safer, better digital economies. Movement is the Network’s first chain.
Public Mainnet Beta key features:
- Permissionless smart contract deployment
- Full user onboarding and engagement
- Attestations of block states will be committed to Ethereum as part of the Movement’s Fast Finality Settlement.
- Canonical Movement bridge via LayerZero
“With Public Mainnet Beta, developers can now deploy smart contracts without approval, and users can freely engage with the Movement ecosystem. This marks the beginning of a new chapter for Move-based technology, combining robust security and better performance with Ethereum’s network affects” added Rushi Manche, Co-Founder, Movement Labs.
The launch features the canonical Movement bridge powered by LayerZero, enabling users to seamlessly transfer MOVE (the network’s native gas token), USDT, USDC, wBTC, wETH, and more to the Movement chain.
The Movement Network Foundation will continue to launch additional features over time as the ecosystem evolves.

Market Needs a Stronger Boost than Trump’s Crypto Strategic Reserve: New Bybit x Block Scholes Crypto Derivatives Report
DUBAI, UAE, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, released the latest weekly crypto derivatives analytics report with Block Scholes as President Trump signed the executive order to establish a strategic BTC reserve on Thursday.
In the first week of March, crypto market movements suggested traders had digested the positive news and pulled towards bearish territories with a declining S&P 500 and growing skepticism surrounding ETH and SOL. This waning enthusiasm is evidenced by a notable increase in demand for short-term protective options as investors seek to mitigate potential risks in the evolving market landscape.
Key Highlights:
- Stable Funding Rates: Following President Trump’s announcement on Mar. 2, the spot prices of involved cryptocurrencies surged. However, funding rates for these assets have not reached extreme levels, remaining relatively stable compared to highs seen prior to Trump’s inauguration. This suggests a balanced demand for long positions, indicating subdued short interest in the market.
- Volatility in ETH Options: The enthusiasm surrounding ETH was quickly tempered as ongoing tariff discussions contributed to bearish market sentiment. This has resulted in a notable increase in realized volatility, surpassing options-implied levels. As traders seek protection, the market has seen a shift in short-term volatility towards puts, reflecting a cautious outlook.
- Decline in SOL Open Interest: The report also notes a decrease in open interest for Solana options at the end of February. Despite the inclusion of SOL in the proposed crypto reserve, open interest has not seen a corresponding uptick, with a majority of new positions still favoring calls, albeit at a lackluster pace.
