Securitize Takes Tokenized Hamilton Lane Credit Fund Multichain, Bringing It Closer to DeFi
Introduced in 2023 on Polygon (POL), the Hamilton Lane Senior Credit Opportunities (SCOPE) Fund is now available on Ethereum and Optimism (OP), with blockchain interoperability enabled by Wormhole (W). This means investors can move fund units across chains, unlocking wider participation and liquidity in different DeFi ecosystems.
Securitize also added support for daily net asset value (NAV) pricing through RedStone oracles and made the fund instantly accessible through its investor portal. Redemptions can be processed in two ways: on-demand through a built-in liquidity pool capped at 5% of the fund's NAV, or through monthly scheduled withdrawals.
A key addition is the new sSCOPE token, designed specifically for DeFi composability in a regulated manner, allowing holders to deploy the asset in on-chain lending platforms or liquidity pools depending on future integrations. The Apollo Diversified Credit Securitize Fund (ACRED) received the same treatment earlier this year, with leveraged DeFi strategies built around it.
The update arrives as the tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market surpasses $25 billion, with private credit making up $14 billion of that total, RWA.xyz data shows. Securitize has been one of the most active participants in the sector, issuing nearly $4 billion in tokenized assets to date, including BlackRock's digital money market fund BUIDL.
A recent S&P report identified tokenization and private credit as intersecting forces that could reshape capital markets over the next years, a trend that the Hamilton Lane fund aims to capture.
"DeFi can actually make an existing offering better, but still making it compliant. That's a game changer," Victor Jung, head of digital assets at Hamilton Lane, said in an interview with CoinDesk.Sign in to access your portfolio

Trader Who Called Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana Bottom In April Now Warns Local Top Likely In August
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. A pseudonymous trader that accurately predicted the local bottom on major cryptocurrencies in April is now warning that August may see a local top for the crypto market. On July 18, Nachi revisited his April call, emphasizing that the ideal time to go aggressive was then, not now. He warns that the market is in a late bullish stage, and traders should be cautious with leverage going Ticker Current Price Price As Of April 22 Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) $117,917.54 $90,721 Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) $3,783.80 $1,693 Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) $195.49 $144 Sui (CRYPTO: SUI) $3.99 $2.46 Hyperliquid (CRYPTO: HYPE) $46.11 $18.83 Don't Miss: Tired of Grid Failures and Charging Deserts?

Back a bold new approach to cancer treatment with high-growth potential. What's Next: Nachi's original thesis pointed to April–August 2025 as the most bullish window for crypto, fuelled by easing rates, cooling inflation, and improving sentiment. However, he now believes the top could form in August, especially if no new bullish catalysts emerge. He cautioned: "The market tops when liquidity and bullish news top out, and that could happen by the end of summer." Nachi also observed that "Dino coins" (old altcoins) pumping hard is a classic sign of frothy market behaviour, a typical signal that things may be peaking. Still, he continues to hold most of his long positions and expects consolidation or pullback before another leg higher. For Bitcoin to hit $150,000 by August, he said, "something really wild needs to happen." Nachi had added that if Trump intensifies tariffs or macro conditions shift unexpectedly, that could delay or extend the top.

$332 Million To Minus $85 Million: Why Are Ethereum ETFs Suddenly More Popular Than Bitcoin ETFs?
Ethereum ETFs attracted $332.18 million in net inflows on July 23, marking their fourteenth straight day of positive flows and signaling an intensifying institutional rotation from Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) into Ether (CRYPTO: ETH). What Happened: BlackRock's (NASDAQ:ETHA) led the charge with a $324.63 million single-day net inflow, contributing to a cumulative $8.9 billion since launch. In contrast, Bitcoin spot ETFs posted net outflows of $85.9 million, extending a three-day streak of profit-taking. According to data from SoSoValue, Ethereum ETF net assets now stand at $19.6 billion, roughly 4.57% of the asset's market capitalization. This includes inflows from major sponsors such as Grayscale, Fidelity, VanEck, and Bitwise. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs, including BlackRock's (NASDAQ:IBIT) and Fidelity's (BATS:FBTC), recorded a cumulative $54.4 billion in net inflows, but recent sessions have seen sentiment cool. Also Read: What Experts Are Saying: Marcin Kazmierczak, co-founder of RedStone, says this inflow streak into Ethereum reflects "growing confidence in Ethereum's utility beyond just a store of value." He noted over $2.1 billion in weekly inflows and a record $726 million surge on July 16, framing the shift as tactical rebalancing from Bitcoin, which recently saw 20% monthly gains, to Ethereum, which rallied over 50%. Bitfinex analysts added that Ethereum's unique yield-bearing features, particularly post-upgrade staking, are drawing attention from small-cap corporate treasuries. "This could redefine how such companies are valued," they noted, suggesting a shift toward ETH as a proxy asset. However, they warned that smaller firms may face greater risk due to volatility, regulatory uncertainty, and financial reporting challenges tied to crypto holdings. Iliya Kalchev, analyst at Nexo Dispatch, framed the ETF flows within a broader macro and market context. "Bitcoin held firm above $118,000 in a choppy session, even as momentum slowed," he said. Despite selective pullbacks, the total crypto market cap remains elevated at $3.84 trillion. "Institutional flows and macro cues are playing a bigger role in shaping sentiment," Kalchev added, pointing to the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting and White House crypto policy report as key catalysts. Ethereum dropped 4% on the day to $3,550 but maintained momentum in ETF markets. "ETH futures now account for 38% of aggregate open interest — their highest level since April 2023," Kalchev noted. He also flagged improving trade sentiment, earnings divergence in equities, and rate decisions in the U.S. and Japan as macro drivers that could impact digital asset flows in the days ahead. With institutional appetite rising and structural adoption accelerating, Ethereum's liquidity, yield mechanics, and increasing derivatives footprint appear to be cementing its status as the next major allocation after Bitcoin.
