The system will support fractional share trading through dollar-based orders, stablecoin funding, and multiple chains. The platform will also support both traditional securities and digital asset securities natively issued on the platform. Token holders will maintain the same dividend and voting rights as conventional shareholders, with access provided to qualified broker-dealers under existing market structure rules. ICE is also partnering with major banks, including BNY and Citi, to enable tokenized deposits. Coinbase Onboards Bermuda Onchain --------------------------------- Coinbase and Circle have [partnered](https://x.com/coinbase/status/2013320967003779479) with the Government of Bermuda to help transform the island into the world’s first fully onchain national economy. The initiative seeks to modernize Bermuda’s financial infrastructure by moving everyday economic activity, from government services to local commerce, onto blockchain-based systems. Under the partnership, Bermuda’s government agencies will pilot stablecoin payments using Circle’s USDC stablecoin on Coinbase’s Base Chain, while local financial institutions will adopt tokenization tools. Coinbase has already begun expanding its onchain offerings in Bermuda, including USDC lending on Base. MegaETH Global Stress Test -------------------------- MegaETH, an EVM-compatible Layer 2 targeting up to 100,000 TPS, [announced](https://x.com/megaeth/status/2013261434353053929) a 7-day Global Stress Test beginning January 22, 2026. The network aims to process 11 billion transactions at a sustained throughput of 15,000 to 35,000 TPS under real-world, high-load conditions, the largest transaction volume among EVM chains. For context, Binance Smart Chain (BSC) has processed roughly the same number of transactions since its launch in 2020. During the test, MegaETH Mainnet will be open to users, supporting latency-sensitive applications such as fully onchain games. Following the stress test, MegaETH plans to launch its public mainnet. ENS Data Live On BigQuery ------------------------- Ethereum Name Service (ENS) [launched](https://ens.domains/blog/post/google-bigquery-community-dataset) a public community dataset on Google Cloud BigQuery, enabling anyone to analyze ENS activity using SQL. The dataset is listed on the Google Cloud Web3 Portal and includes key tables such as registry, resolver, resolutions, reverse records, and registration periods. With the upcoming ENSv2 upgrade, the dataset will also expand to cover L2 Primary Names. Users can now explore ENS data without the need to run their own indexing infrastructure.
