ICE

Seems like his health is declining rapidly. Not sure if they are still gonna go through with the coup. At least Hegseth is still purging army and they are arming ICE to be a paramilitary force.

Because all the republicans know the game is up and the only way they stay out of jail is win the election.
So instead they are going to try to use ICE and the military to round up people before the election. Why else would they be building detention centers in every town and county in the country.

I just saw a man with a "We support ICE flag " on his truck. Won't give 5$ to build a new elementary but will spend 50$ for a dumb flag for his giant truck. I think some people just have to be contrary at this point in order to feel something other than shame.

Until ICE, USPS, federal agency, etc. won’t let people vote

considering the way ICE has operated this has been pretty obviously their stance for awhile.
that stance being: the cruelty is the point

Is ICE the same as the gestapo?

20th year anniversary of 9/11 this year , and ICE are doing the security checks lol

Thanks for the response. I wanted to invest in some financial instrument vehicle CME/ICE/IBKR or SCHW… that also drops a little dividend. problem is alway timing… something looks more attractive… do you have a target PE range or at what price would loading up more make sense… any idea of the succession plan since I hear the founder is getting older…

It could be accurate. These might all be ICE positions lol.

I think a lot of confusion around tokenization comes from treating every related stock like it does the same thing.
Once I started sorting them by role, the whole picture got much easier to follow.
Asset managers like BEN and WT feel like the product layer. If tokenized funds expand, these are the companies that actually structure and manage them. Then you have crypto-native exposure with names like ONDO, which operate closer to the digital side of the market.
DVLT sits in a more interesting position. It is not a large institutional name, but it is also not just an empty story. The jump from roughly $2.7M to about $39.1M in annual revenue, along with a profitable Q4, is a big shift. That is why it still stands out even as a higher-risk name.
After that, the exchange layer becomes obvious. NDAQ and ICE represent the rails, while SECZ adds another angle on tokenized securities infrastructure. These may not move the fastest, but they are tied to how markets actually function.
Finally, platforms like HOOD and COIN complete the picture, because none of this matters if users cannot access it easily.
Once I looked at it this way, the theme felt much more structured. Instead of chasing headlines, it becomes about understanding where value might build.
Which layer do you think captures the most upside first if this keeps developing?

One thing that stands out to me right now is how this space has both narrative and actual numbers starting to line up.
Some names clearly move faster than others. HOOD and COIN tend to react quickly because they are closest to user activity and product launches. When attention spikes, these platforms usually feel it first.
Then you have the infrastructure layer. NDAQ and SECZ are not the kind of names that explode overnight, but if tokenized securities keep moving deeper into real markets, these are directly connected to that shift.
What makes it interesting is where DVLT fits. It is smaller and more speculative, but it is not just a concept anymore. Revenue moved from about $2.7M to roughly $39.1M in a year, with Q4 at $33.8M and positive earnings for the quarter. That is the kind of growth that keeps a ticker on watchlists when momentum returns.
Then you layer in ICE, WT, and BEN, which feel more stable, and ONDO plus POLYX on the crypto-native side. Suddenly it is not random anymore, it is a full ecosystem.
For me, the takeaway is simple. This is one of those themes where different types of names can work at different times. Some for momentum, some for structure.
If the trend continues, I would not be surprised to see attention rotate between these groups instead of focusing on just one.
Would you rather trade the faster narrative names or hold the infrastructure side?

I originally looked into DVLT because of the NYIAX deal, and I expected it to be just another small-cap story. Instead, it pulled me into a much bigger picture.
The numbers were the first thing that made me pause. DVLT reported around $39.1M in FY2025 revenue compared to roughly $2.7M the year before. Q4 alone was about $33.8M, and that quarter came in profitable. For a company still trading like a speculative name, that kind of jump feels meaningful.
But what really changed my view was zooming out. If tokenized securities actually scale, then the companies behind market infrastructure matter just as much as the smaller narrative plays. That is where names like NDAQ and ICE started making more sense to me. They are not exciting in the same way, but they sit directly in the flow of trading and settlement.
Then DVLT sits in an interesting middle ground. Smaller, more volatile, but directly tied to the narrative through NYIAX and tokenization positioning. After that, it becomes obvious why HOOD and COIN matter for distribution, and why BEN and WT could benefit if tokenized funds keep growing.
By the time I added ONDO, POLYX, and SECZ, it stopped feeling like chasing hype and started looking like a real structure.
Now I am less focused on finding one winner and more interested in tracking the entire stack. DVLT just happened to be the starting point.
Which side of this theme do you think matters more long term - infrastructure or platforms?

It's Vietnam 2.0. Prepare for 10-20 yrs of war.
30k ground troops (10k Marines with support, 3k elite paratroopers, 17k regular army) are already on their way there to invade Kharg and other Iranian islands.
And that's just first step before full invasion of mainland Iran (but that will require Draft Vietnam style; which I'm sure they are already considering; ICE will be used to hunt draft dodgers for example).

I remember thinking a few months ago how it couldn't get worse then this (maybe ICE shooting people in the street etc) and somehow it's gotten worse. Just think what it will be like in 2028 when Trump has nothing to lose.

Plot twist - they are all ICE agents

179k jobs. He hired a lot of ICE agents. 😳

I originally looked into DVLT because of the NYIAX angle, but the deeper I went, the more it felt like this was bigger than one small-cap story.
What caught my attention is that DVLT is not just sitting on a vague buzzword anymore. The company reported about $39.1M in FY2025 revenue versus roughly $2.7M the year before, and Q4 alone came in around $33.8M. That is a huge step up for a company still being viewed by a lot of people as purely speculative. Even more interesting, they posted their first profitable quarter, which makes the story feel more grounded than the average tokenization headline.
From there I started zooming out. If tokenized securities actually keep moving forward, then the watchlist should not stop at one ticker. Names like NDAQ and ICE make sense because they sit closer to the rails of public markets. HOOD and COIN make sense because distribution matters too. BEN and WT are worth watching because asset managers will likely matter if tokenized funds keep growing.
That is how I ended up thinking about DVLT differently. Not as the whole thesis, but as one smaller, higher-upside piece inside a much wider theme. Then you add ONDO, POLYX, and SECZ, and suddenly it feels less like chasing a headline and more like tracking an actual market shift.
At this point I would rather follow the full stack than pretend one name has to capture all of it. DVLT is still the one that pulled me in, but the bigger takeaway for me is that the tokenization watchlist is getting more interesting, not less.
Anyone else building a basket around this theme instead of trying to pick only one winner?

Realistically market won't care what happens to the pilots. ICE was shooting Americans dead in the street in broad daylight and nothing happened.

I originally started looking into DVLT because of the NYIAX angle, and I thought it would just be another quick small-cap rabbit hole. But the more I read, the more it felt like this was pointing to something much bigger than one speculative ticker.
What really changed my view was realizing that tokenization is not just a crypto conversation anymore. People still talk about it like it only matters for digital coins, but the bigger opportunity seems to be inside traditional market structure. Global listed equities are measured in the hundreds of trillions, and even just looking at major exchange groups like Nasdaq and ICE gives you an idea of how large the real infrastructure layer already is. That is why I stopped thinking about this as a one-name trade and started building a broader watchlist.
The bigger names were the first ones that made the theme feel real. Nasdaq and ICE are obvious places to look because if tokenized securities keep gaining traction, the companies tied to listing, trading, and exchange infrastructure should matter. That part seems almost too obvious, but I think a lot of people skip it because it is less flashy than chasing whatever smaller ticker has the hottest press release.
Then I came back to DVLT, and that is where the list got interesting. Unlike the large exchange names, DVLT feels like a much more speculative way to play the same general direction. The company reported about $39.1M in FY2025 revenue, compared with roughly $2.7M the year before, which is a huge jump. Q4 alone came in around $33.8M, and they posted their first profitable quarter with positive operating income. For a company still trading like a small cap narrative stock, those numbers are a lot more substantial than I expected when I first looked.
After that I started adding platform and distribution names like Robinhood and Coinbase, because even if tokenized products grow, they still need users, access points, custody, and volume. Then there are names like Franklin Templeton and WisdomTree that feel important for another reason. If tokenized funds and digital wrappers around traditional assets keep expanding, asset managers are probably not going to sit on the sidelines forever. Some of them are already moving.
By the time I got to crypto-native names like Ondo and Polymesh, the theme finally started making more sense to me. Instead of treating everything as one giant "blockchain" pile, I started seeing a stack. Exchanges, brokers, issuers, asset managers, and infrastructure names all play different roles. That made the watchlist feel way more useful.
So now when people ask me what I am watching in tokenization, I am not really looking for one winner anymore. I am watching the full chain. The large-cap names make the theme credible. The asset managers make it investable. The platforms make it accessible. And the smaller names like DVLT make it interesting.
That is honestly why I keep coming back to it. It feels less like hype and more like an early sorting process.
Curious what bucket people think matters most over the next 12 months - exchanges, asset managers, or crypto-native platforms?

Half the hiring are probably ICE agents
