Algorhythm Holdings' CEO cited more than $6 million in cash while the same release showed just under $5 million spendable plus about $3 million restricted. Quartz's review of SEC enforcement leaves shareholders in small AI rebrands to run that check themselves.

BNB Chain and Robinhood Chain took 88.2% of tracked tokenized-stock volume in September to date, up from 2.3% in June. The surge coincided with a zero-maker-fee campaign on Binance and Robinhood's Stock Tokens launch, so the test comes when maker fees return.
