What Decrypt reports
Deutsche Börse's April stake implied a $13.3 billion valuation. Five months on, Nasdaq is paying at $21 billion.
The immediate significance
The report concerns staking rather than passive ownership alone. Its practical significance depends on execution, liquidity, validator or protocol exposure and the terms actually available to participants.
What remains unknown
- The report does not set out final execution, realised yield, liquidity terms or the complete smart-contract risk analysis.
- No matched primary document independently supporting the central claim is linked to this page.
