What to know:
- Bed Bath & Beyond said it would acquire Tokens.com and launch a platform to let consumers tap home equity and other assets through tokenization.
- The initiative marks the latest step in Bed Bath & Beyond's post-bankruptcy pivot into blockchain and financial technology under Chief Executive Marcus Lemonis, following its acquisition by Overstock.com.

Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) shares rose 7% Monday after the relaunched retailer announced it intends to acquire Tokens.com and launch a platform focused on asset tokenization, starting with real estate.
The plan is to build a platform where people can tap into the value of their home or other assets, like turning home equity into cash or tradable digital tokens, the company said on Monday. Instead of applying for a loan through a bank, users could use the new platform to see what they own, what it’s worth and how to access financing, all in one place.

Tokens.com will use tools from tZERO to handle regulated trading and storage of these assets. It will also plug into Figure (FIGR), the blockchain company of former SoFi CEO Mike Cagney, to offer financial services like mortgages, renovation loans home equity lines of credit.
The platform is expected to launch by July, the firm said.
The move is part of the company's push into blockchain tech and tokenization following its restructuring. The retailer filed for bankruptcy in 2023, closed its stores and ultimately sold its brand and IP to Overstock.com in a bankruptcy auction.
TZERO was originally a subsidiary of Overstock, and was spun out in 2021. Overstock continued investing in tZERO following this spin-out.
Now, Bed Bath & Beyond runs a group of retail brands, while it has also invested in financial tech and blockchain under CEO Marcus Lemonis. It is the largest shareholder of tZERO, known for its regulated digital asset platform and brokerage services.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models
The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
