This structure would allow the ETF’s tokenized version to maintain the same rights, fees, and regulatory treatment as the traditional ETF while leveraging blockchain settlement, 24/7 trading, reduced costs, and increased liquidity. ## Bitcoin, DeFi & Tokenized Assets Lead 2026 Expansion ARK Invest research highlights Bitcoin, decentralized finance protocols, and tokenized real-world assets as structural drivers for the digital asset economy this year. The report forecasts Bitcoin capturing a majority of projected market value by 2030, while DeFi platforms and fee-generating applications continue narrowing the gap with traditional finance. ## A16z Crypto Calls for “Spec Is Law” in DeFi Standards Andreessen Horowitz’s crypto arm urged the DeFi community to adopt standardized, specification-based security models, moving beyond ad-hoc bug fixes to address systemic exploit risk across the ecosystem. This reflects a growing push for formal safety specifications that can preempt high-impact failures in composable protocols. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/54/c6/54c6f660-26c3-4ce3-8ea1-ea7e37a8cc90/content/images/2026/08/this_week_in_hemi_-_section_header-t-1766163019-40.png) ## Network Upgrades in Final Testing Several protocol upgrades are now in late-stage testing, including improvements tied to MinerFi infrastructure, node operations, and upcoming network changes.
