Neutral
Na main wan new tokenized-equity offering (SPCXx) for Kraken through xStocks IPO Access. E fit bring short-term attention and trading activity for the tokenized share segment, but e no change the underlying protocols or macro fundamentals of major crypto assets. So the most likely market effect na sentiment/flow inside tokenized equities rather than clear directional move for core coin prices.
