‘Fabricated rumors’ about BitMart founder, Binance bStocks dominate: Asia Express

The article is a crypto market roundup centered on Bitcoin and broader digital-asset developments. Bitcoin is trading around $64,306, up 1.83%, alongside gains in several major tokens including Ether, Solana, XRP, BNB, and Dogecoin. The main Bitcoin-related takeaways are institutional and regulatory: Israel’s Bank Leumi plans to let customers trade Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana through Galaxy Digital starting in early 2027, while Metaplanet dismissed rumors that a large 5,014 BTC transfer signaled a sale, saying it was a custody move and holdings remain 43,000 BTC. The piece also highlights tokenization growth, with Binance bStocks becoming the second-largest tokenized stock issuer at about $624 million, as well as ongoing crypto-sector legal and compliance developments in Singapore, Hong Kong, and elsewhere. Overall, the tone is constructive for crypto adoption and infrastructure, though mixed with regulatory scrutiny and exchange-related disputes.
