Ndax Weekly TL;DR June 2

• SEC Explores Regulatory Sandbox for Tokenized Securities in Talks with Nasdaq and DeFi Innovators
• Sui Validators Approve $162M Reimbursement Plan for Cetus Exploit Victims
• Trump Media to Become Major Bitcoin Holder With $2.3 Billion Investment
   

The SEC’s Crypto Task Force recently met with Nasdaq, Plume Network, and Etherealize to explore how public blockchains could facilitate the issuance and trading of tokenized securities. The discussions included proposals for a regulatory sandbox that would allow limited experimentation with digital assets under flexible guidelines. Nasdaq advocated for a new digital trading venue and joint oversight with the CFTC, while Plume focused on adapting rules for decentralized markets. Etherealize emphasized the need to modernize transfer agent regulations to better align with blockchain infrastructure. All participants supported clearer regulations and pilot programs while maintaining investor protection standards. CryptoSlate

Sui network validators have overwhelmingly approved a proposal to return $162 million in frozen assets linked to the recent Cetus decentralized exchange exploit, enabling a full user compensation plan. The exploit, which occurred on May 22, resulted in over $220 million in losses, but swift action by validators managed to freeze a significant portion of the stolen funds. The governance vote, concluded on May 29, saw 90.9% in favor of the repayment plan. The funds will be transferred to a multisignature wallet managed in coordination with Cetus, which plans to restart operations and deploy a compensation contract within a week. Cointelegraph

Trump Media has completed a $2.44 billion private stock offering and plans to allocate approximately $2.32 billion of the proceeds to purchase Bitcoin, potentially making it one of the top five corporate holders of the asset. If finalized, the acquisition would place the company behind only Marathon and MicroStrategy in terms of BTC holdings. The announcement led to a 4% increase in Trump Media’s stock price, reflecting investor response to the move. While the company has not confirmed whether all proceeds will be used for Bitcoin, the decision signals a significant entry into digital assets and has drawn attention due to the close association between Donald Trump’s public profile and the crypto industry.
