The Ethereum Foundation released a roadmap for Kohaku, an open-source initiative designed to make crypto wallets both secure and private, while minimizing reliance on trusted third parties. The project is led by Vitalik Buterin and Nicolas Consigny, a protocol support member at the Ethereum Foundation. Kohaku aims to make privacy a normal and accessible feature for everyone, enabling users to transact privately and securely without sacrificing decentralization or usability. The roadmap includes a wallet SDK and a reference implementation that wallet teams can adopt to integrate private and secure transaction capabilities.

Robinhood has launched trading for tokenized stocks and ETFs for its European customers, enabling users to access to more than 200 U.S. equities onchain. The launch includes zero-commission trading, dividend payouts, and 24/5 market access. Currently, tokenized stocks are live on Arbitrum One, with plans to migrate them to Robinhood Chain, the company’s upcoming Layer 2 network built on the Arbitrum Orbit stack. For every share purchased, a corresponding token is minted onchain. In future updates, users will be able to transfer stock tokens to self-custodial wallets.

Concrete, a DeFi yield infrastructure provider, launched the Staked EIGEN Vault, a yield-optimizing product that turns EIGEN tokens into productive assets within the EigenLayer ecosystem. The vault combines EigenLayer’s native restaking yields with Concrete’s delta-neutral trading strategies, targeting 6–8% USD-denominated returns. By depositing EIGEN, users earn yield and ecosystem incentives while receiving sEIGEN, a liquid vault token representing their share of the underlying strategy. EIGEN serves as the native staking, governance, and incentive token of the EigenLayer restaking protocol.
