xStocks has partnered with Fundrise to tokenize the newly public, closed-end Fundrise Innovation Fund, which holds private-company stakes including Anthropic, Databricks and SpaceX. The tokenized product, VCXx, is expected to go live on xStocks in the coming days following a Friday announcement, after the fund recently began trading on the NYSE. The launch comes as tokenized equities surpassed $1 billion in total onchain value earlier this month, with RWA.xyz data showing Ondo at about 58% market share and xStocks-issued products at roughly 24%.

The Israeli Crypto Blockchain & Web 3.0 Companies Forum launched a lobbying drive on Feb. 3 in Tel Aviv to ease rules on stablecoins and tokenization and streamline tax compliance. According to KPMG, the proposed reforms could add 70,000 jobs and 120 billion shekels ($38.36 billion) to GDP by 2035, while forum leaders cite strong public uptake of digital assets.
