- MANTRA: Up 5% as China Pacific Insurance (CPIC) launches a tokenized U.S. dollar money market fund, securing $100M in subscriptions.
- Worldcoin (WLD): Climbs 8.5% amid talks with Visa for stablecoin payment integration.
- Chainlink (LINK): Gains 2% with its partnership with Abu Dhabi’s ADGM to drive tokenized asset innovation.
