DeFiChain Adds New dTokens Corresponding to Disney, Intel, MicroStrategy, and iShares MSCI China ETF
The four new decentralized tokens will give users price exposure, not ownership, to the underlying stocks and ETFs without any restrictions.
Singapore, Singapore–(Newsfile Corp. – April 9, 2022) – DeFiChain, the world’s leading blockchain on the Bitcoin network dedicated to bringing decentralized financial applications and services to everyone, is thrilled to announce that it has added four new decentralized assets aka dTokens following a Ticker Voting by the community. In the DeFiChain ecosystem, the community decides which dTokens will be added next.

The newly added dTokens are:
- $dDIS – Walt Disney Co
- $dMCHI – iShares MSCI China ETF
- $dMSTR – MicroStrategy Incorporated
- $dINTC – Intel Corporation
DeFiChain users will now be able to mint and trade the above dTokens. These four assets received the most support from the community members. Other options they could vote on included Mastercard Inc, Nintendo Co LTD, PayPal Holdings Inc, Twitter Inc, Uber Technologies Inc, and more.
The addition of new dTokens marks a major step towards enabling DeFi users to benefit from the price appreciation of traditional assets such as stocks, bonds, commodities, ETFs, etc. DeFiChain already offers dTokens corresponding to the S&P 500, Tesla, Apple, Alibaba, GameStop, Nasdaq 100, Nvidia, Amazon, Microsoft, Netflix, Meta, and many other stocks and ETFs.
“DeFiChain is continuously expanding the dToken universe to give users a serious alternative to the traditional financial broker – all whilst offering the flexibility and benefits of decentralization,” said Prasanna Loganathar, the Lead Engineer at DeFiChain.
Decentralized assets are one of the most innovative and revolutionary products of DeFiChain. In fact, DeFiChain is the only blockchain to offer decentralized assets on the Bitcoin network.
The dTokens are not “securities” issued by a company or a large institution, meaning they give users price exposure but not ownership, voting rights, dividends, or other benefits available to stockholders. Rather than tracking and reflecting the actual stock price, the dTokens track and reflect a number of variable factors, and use oracles to capture those feeds. The price of dTokens may not always mirror the underlying asset’s price because of fluctuations in the supply and demand of dTokens.
A dToken can either be held as an investment, traded on the DeFiChain DEX, or used for Liquidity Mining on the DEX. Users can mint dTokens on the DeFiChain blockchain by depositing BTC, DFI, dUSD, USDT or USDC as collateral in the DeFiChain Vault.
Minting is not the only way to own decentralized assets. Users can also buy dTokens – even in fractional pieces – on the DeFiChain DEX and then put them towards liquidity mining for additional passive income. All dTokens are freely denumerable and can be transferred to other people worldwide without involving an intermediary.
Millions of users from around the world who couldn’t invest in the US stocks due to geographical restrictions, trading limits, and other issues could get price exposure to their favorite assets by minting or buying the relevant dTokens.
DeFiChain will continue to list popular assets decentrally, as well as introduce innovative additional features in due course. Being a fully decentralized blockchain with on-chain governance, interested parties are not required to complete identity verification to be able to hold decentralized stock tokens on DeFiChain.

The Blockchain Renaissance – AI, Infrastructure, and Eastern Europe’s Ascent
As we navigate through the intricate tapestry of blockchain and cryptocurrency, May 6, 2025, stands out as a day marked by significant strides in technology, infrastructure, and regional innovation. From the fusion of artificial intelligence with blockchain analytics to the strategic expansion of data centers, the landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace. Eastern Europe, particularly Romania, is emerging as a formidable player in the blockchain arena, leveraging platforms like Solana to drive innovation. Simultaneously, the integration of blockchain into warehouse operations signifies the technology’s permeation into traditional industries.
Arkham and Blockchair: Redefining On-Chain Transparency
In the realm of blockchain analytics, Arkham Intelligence and Blockchair are pioneering a new era of on-chain visibility. Arkham Intelligence, founded by Miguel Morel and backed by notable investors such as Sam Altman and Tim Draper, utilizes AI to deanonymize blockchain addresses, providing a clearer view of cryptocurrency flows. This approach, while enhancing transparency, raises questions about privacy and the balance between openness and confidentiality in the decentralized world.
Blockchair complements this by offering a comprehensive blockchain search and analytics engine, enabling users to explore transactions across multiple blockchains. Their tools facilitate a deeper understanding of blockchain data, empowering users to make informed decisions.

DMG Blockchain Solutions: Strategic Pivot Towards AI Infrastructure
DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. has reported its preliminary operational results for April 2025, highlighting a strategic shift towards artificial intelligence infrastructure. The company mined 30 BTC during the month, a slight decrease from March, attributed to increased network difficulty and a shorter month. Notably, DMG increased its realized hashrate to 1.93 EH/s, supported by the deployment of additional Bitmain S21+ Hydro miners.
In a significant move, DMG liquidated a portion of its Bitcoin holdings to fund the acquisition of 2 megawatts of prefabricated AI data center infrastructure. This investment marks a demonstrative shift towards utilizing returns from Bitcoin mining to fund AI capital expenditures, aiming to secure off-take agreements with high-value government and enterprise users seeking sovereign AI solutions in Canada.
