Today in crypto, Metaplanet revealed a revised capital allocation framework, OKX and NYSE parent Intercontinental Exchange filed to launch a 24/7 tokenized US stock platform and President Donald Trump tapped intelligence chief Jay Clayton to lead a new Super Intelligence Force.

Metaplanet reveals net income strategy to fuel Bitcoin accumulationJapanese investment and Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet introduced a net interest income strategy on Monday, seeking to invest capital in income-generating assets and use the net interest to fuel its Bitcoin accumulation and dividend payments.

The move is part of the company’s revised capital allocation policy under which 10% to 15% of assets can move into strategic investments, including mergers and acquisitions and interest-generating assets.

Bitcoin (BTC) remains the company’s core treasury reserve asset, accounting for 85% to 90% of total assets, Metaplanet revealed in a Monday notice. The decision aims to enhance the Japanese company’s financing capacity and credit quality to grow its BTC holdings per share through additional acquisitions.

The company revealed the fundraising model in the wake of shareholder concerns about Metaplanet’s governance and complex capital structure. On Friday, Metaplanet issued five corrected securities filings clarifying that CEO Simon Gerovich does not hold majority voting rights in MMX Ventures, a shareholder in Metaplanet.

OKX, NYSE parent file to launch tokenized US stock platformAn OKX joint venture has filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to launch a tokenized stock trading platform.

OKXICE LLC, a joint venture between cryptocurrency exchange operator OKX and New York Stock Exchange parent Intercontinental Exchange Inc., has notified the SEC that it intends to launch a tokenized securities venue (TSV) under the SEC’s new innovation exemption.

The platform will include more than 60 companies listed on US stock exchanges, said OKXICE co-chair Andrew Cuomo.

“The digital asset revolution is already transforming our financial system. Tokenized securities are part of what comes next,” he added. 

A public notice dated Oct. 4 lists 63 proposed stock symbols, including Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft and Tesla, alongside crypto companies such as Strategy, Coinbase, Circle and Bitgo. 

The OKXICE platform plans to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, using permissioned Uniswap v4 liquidity pools deployed on XLayer. Each tokenized stock would be paired with USDC (USDC), Global Dollar (USDG) or USDt (USDT). 

Trump taps intel chief Jay Clayton to lead new Super Intelligence ForcePresident Donald Trump has named Jay Clayton, US director of national intelligence, to lead the country’s new Super Intelligence Force, according to a post on Truth Social on Sunday.

The announcement followed media reports on Friday of the appointment. Cointelegraph reported Sept. 20 that Trump planned to create an “AI Force” modeled after the Space Force and appoint an artificial intelligence czar.

“The Super Intelligence Force is tasked with coordinating the effort of the Federal Government to ensure that America continues to lead the World in Super Intelligence,” Trump wrote in his post.

He added that joining Clayton will be Andrew Ferguson, chairman of the Federal Trade Commission; Scott Kupor, director of the Office of Personnel Management; and, Emil Michael, under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering and chief technology officer for the Department of War.

El Salvador receives $138 million from IMF after Bitcoin waivers grantedThe International Monetary Fund approved the immediate disbursement of about $138 million to El Salvador under the country’s $1.4 billion financing program, despite some performance criteria being missed.

The IMF’s Executive Board completed the second and third reviews under El Salvador’s 40-month Extended Fund Facility (EFF) arrangement on Thursday, it said in a press release.

While certain performance criteria were not met, including on the Bitcoin accumulation front, the IMF granted waivers “based on strong corrective measures and renewed commitments.”

The agency noted that progress had been achieved in financial sector reforms, fiscal transparency, AML/CFT reforms and the transfer of majority ownership and control of the government Chivo Bitcoin wallet to a private operator.

“Efforts will continue to reduce the state’s involvement in Bitcoin-related activities, strengthen crypto‑asset regulation and governance, and enhance transparency regarding public-sector crypto‑asset holdings,” the IMF said, adding: “No further Bitcoin accumulation is envisaged beyond the documented donations.”
