MSX, the newly launched fintech arm of the Malta Stock Exchange, has inked several new deals aimed at creating new marketplaces for tokenized securities.
The newly inked deal sees MSX team up with Neufund, a platform for securities tokenization and issuance, to build a "regulated and decentralized, global stock exchange for listing and trading tokenized securities alongside crypto-assets," according to a press release.

Exactly what will make the new exchange decentralized was not explained, however.
The partners are already planning a pilot later this year, which will include a public offering of tokenized equity on Neufund's primary market that will later be available for trading on Binance (by way of a separate agreement with Neufund) – pending a green light from regulators in Malta, that is.
Neufund claimed the new platform will be "the first end-to-end primary issuance platform for security tokens."
Calling the project a "pioneer in digital finance," Joseph Portelli, chairman of the Malta Stock Exchange, said:
"We are delighted to welcome Neufund as our key partner in building a blockchain-based exchange that is fully integrated with established financial markets."
In related news, crypto exchange OKEx has also partnered with MSX to launch a new exchange – called OKMSX – for the trading of "institutional grade" security tokens.
The platform is expected to launch by Q1 of next year, according to a different press release.
Malta has recently been moving to draw crypto and blockchain firms, in June passing three bills pertaining to cryptocurrencies, blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT). The news marked Malta as one of the first jurisdictions in the world to pass specific legislation around the tech.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
Ano ang dapat malaman:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
