CoinDesk's daily briefing rounded up three developments: ICE, parent of the NYSE, moved to bring tokenized U.S. stocks onshore; ether outperformed bitcoin in the third quarter despite thinner liquidity; and Zcash tested an upgrade designed to deliver faster blocks.
- The NYSE parent's move follows the OKX-ICE filing for OKXICE, a 24/7 blockchain venue where tokenized U.S. stocks would be backed one-for-one by underlying shares.
- Ether's Q3 edge over bitcoin came amid lighter liquidity conditions.
- Zcash's NU7 upgrade, which cuts target block time from 75 seconds to 25, is being rehearsed on testnet ahead of a planned November mainnet launch.
No further details were disclosed in the briefing.
