Solana is a high-throughput public blockchain used for payments, apps and onchain markets. Tokenized stocks are digital tokens meant to represent a listed share so they can move and trade on a blockchain instead of only during Nasdaq hours. Sunrise is a Solana listing and liquidity venue that brings new stocks and similar assets onchain as they list. Backpack Securities is the named issuer and custodian for this product: it holds the underlying 1-800-FLOWERS.COM shares and issues the Solana token. Backpack says holders can tokenize a conventional FLWS share by withdrawing it from Backpack Exchange onto Solana, or deposit $FLWS back to convert it into the underlying share, similar to moving a stablecoin in or out of an exchange. Unlike price-tracking synthetics, Backpack says these tokens are redeemable 1:1 for real shares and transferable to traditional brokerages. 1-800-FLOWERS.COM is a US gifting and e-commerce company (flowers, gourmet food and related brands). The listing sits in a broader live Solana equity-token market in which Backpack and Sunrise have been adding Nasdaq names; DraftKings and Wendy's were listed on 11 September, just before this window. Availability, tax treatment and whether a given wallet or venue will serve a user still depend on Backpack's and each app's rules.

Base is the Ethereum layer-2 network incubated by Coinbase. A layer 2 processes transactions off Ethereum's main chain, then posts them back, which is meant to cut fees and speed settlement. Coinbase Tokenized Stocks are blockchain tokens meant to be backed 1:1 by real shares and issued for eligible investors outside the United States. They use Base's B20 token standard and trade on decentralized exchanges, mainly Aerodrome, instead of a traditional stock exchange. Token Terminal's 12 September post is the primary data point for the $100 million daily high and the $730.9 million 30-day total. @jessepollak amplified it the same afternoon. A later Token Terminal post the same day said Coinbase's tokenized SpaceX stock (SPCXc) generated a record $6.6 million in DEX volume the prior day, equal to 23% of its $28.5 million total over its first nine days. That SpaceX print is part of the same onchain-equity tape, not a separate product launch. Coverage of the legal wrapper (custodian, dividends, US-person bans) is consistent across earlier Coinbase materials: these are not Nasdaq trades, and US users are generally excluded. Daily DEX volume can include speculative looping around a few names, so the $100 million high is best read as activity, not as $100 million of new long-term holders.

Revolut is a global digital bank and payments app, based in London, that also lets customers buy, hold and send crypto including Bitcoin. The failure was procedural, not a breach of Revolut's production systems: an unauthorized sender used an email account inside an official government domain, with valid domain authentication, and Revolut treated the request as genuine. The company later contacted the agency, blocked the address, notified regulators and emailed affected customers. TechCrunch reported that Revolut would not say how many people were hit or which agency's domain was used. @MagicalTux , the former Mt. Gox CEO, said the notice listed Bitcoin in the transaction-history field and that other banks or exchanges could have been fooled through the same channel. @zachxbt publicized the customer emails and said the set looked limited and targeted at wealthy users. No passwords, PINs, private keys or customer funds were reported stolen. The risk is identity and location data in the hands of whoever sent the request, not an onchain drain.
