Injective uvádí, že jeho RWA perpetual trhy od začátku roku 2025 přesáhly kumulativní objem více než 5,3 miliardy USD. V srpnu dosáhl měsíční objem 209,7 milionu USD, tedy 3,4násobku května.
TLDR: Injective’s RWA perpetual markets have generated over $5.3 billion in volume since early 2025. August 2026 RWA perpetual volume hit $209.7 million, 3.4 times May’s total trading volume. Injective runs 135 active RWA perpetual markets spanning equities, FX, commodities, and indices. CFTC cleared U.S. regulated futures for INJ, which now trade on the Bitnomial exchange. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is moving to clear firms for regulated stock perpetuals. Injective called the shift a turning point for American markets.
The layer-1 network has settled onchain perpetual markets since 2021. New data from CoinGecko shows Injective’s RWA perpetual volume has topped $5.3 billion since early 2025.
SEC Moves to Clear Regulated Stock Perpetuals in the US Injective said the SEC’s move reverses a decade-long trend. Liquidity, talent, and builders had drifted overseas as U.S. rules lagged behind global markets.
The firm welcomed regulated companies like Kalshi entering the space for both digital assets and stocks. Injective framed the development as proof that American oversight can keep pace with onchain finance.

Injective has settled onchain perpetual markets since 2021, longer than most rivals in the sector. It has powered more than $81 billion in trading volume across RWAs, stocks, and crypto combined. Every trade runs through a fully onchain orderbook that anyone can verify in real time.
Injective Institutional Services is now registered with the SEC as a transfer agent. That registration makes Injective the first layer-1 blockchain with an affiliated SEC-registered transfer agent.
The company said the move supports its broader push to bring regulated securities onchain.
The CFTC also cleared U.S.-regulated futures for INJ in recent months. Those contracts now trade on Bitnomial, the same exchange set to offer securities futures products.
Injective said the approval builds on years of work spanning perpetuals and tokenization.
Injective’s RWA Perpetual Markets Post Record Monthly Volume CoinGecko tracked the shift from crypto-only perpetuals toward broader asset classes over the past year. The market for actively traded crypto representations of traditional assets grew from $1.41 billion to $6.59 billion in eighteen months.
Trading volume across this segment hit $1.45 trillion in the first half of 2026 alone.
Injective runs 135 active RWA perpetual markets, all quoted against native USDC. That total includes 111 equity markets, 11 foreign-exchange markets, and nine commodity markets. Two index markets and two pre-IPO references round out the current lineup.
$INJ is up 40% YTD, while its RWA perpetual volume has scaled to $5.3B in cumulative trading.
In this article, we look at how @Injective's 135 active RWA perpetual markets, onchain orderbook, and unified liquidity are powering that growth.

Injective’s RWA perpetual markets have generated more than $5.3 billion in cumulative volume since early 2025, according to CoinGecko.
Monthly volume reached $186.5 million in July 2026. It climbed further to $209.7 million in August, a figure 3.4 times May’s total.
Selected U.S. equity markets on Injective run on a unified oracle stream updated roughly every two seconds. The feed blends pre-market, regular, after-hours, and overnight pricing into one stream.

@SuiNetwork has passed a significant on-chain milestone, with the SuiVision explorer recording 16.17 billion lifetime transactions spread across 229.98 million accounts. The network marked the occasion with a vivid comparison: 16 billion seconds is roughly equivalent to 520 years of elapsed time.
Network Metrics at the Milestone The same SuiVision dashboard shows a peak throughput of 1,318 transactions per second at the time of the announcement, with 126 validators participating in consensus and 6.98 billion $SUI staked natively to secure the network. Those figures reflect live mainnet conditions rather than controlled stress-test environments, making them a meaningful measure of real-world demand.
Sui's architecture is built around parallel transaction execution and an object-centric data model, which allows the network to process independent transactions simultaneously rather than sequentially. The Mysticeti consensus upgrade, shipped in 2024, cut consensus latency by roughly 80%, delivering finality near 390 milliseconds even at very high throughput. That infrastructure underpins the throughput figures showing up on the explorer today.
Broader Context for the Numbers The 16 billion transaction count lands against a backdrop of rapid ecosystem expansion. Cumulative active addresses on Sui have passed 228 million, and DeFi total value locked peaked at $2.6 billion. More recently, TVL on Sui has nearly tripled, surging past the $5 billion threshold , driven in part by institutional capital flowing into tokenized real-world assets on the chain.
On the institutional side, Sui completed three years since its May 2023 mainnet launch, and CME Group listed SUI futures contracts, making Sui only the fourth Layer-1 blockchain to enter CME's regulated derivatives market, after Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.
The 16 billion milestone is one data point in what has been a consistent upward trend for the network. Whether the pace of adoption holds at current levels will depend on developer activity, broader market conditions, and how the protocol continues to evolve heading into its Basecamp event in October 2026.

As XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continue trading in the US, the total amount of XRP held in their vaults has exceeded 1.1 billion. According to current data, the total assets under management (AUM) of the seven XRP ETFs has reached approximately $1.57 billion, while the funds hold a total of 1.118 billion XRP in custody accounts. This amount represents approximately 1.12% of XRP’s total supply of 100 billion tonnes.
In week 37 of 2026, between September 7th and 11th, a total of 1.27 million XRP entered XRP ETFs, while 161,000 XRP exited. This results in a net weekly inflow of 1.11 million XRP, equivalent to approximately $1.51 million in dollar terms.
Bitwise holds the largest amount of XRP among the funds. Bitwise’s XRP ETF contains approximately 368.6 million XRP, with an AUM of $520.2 million. Franklin Templeton ranks second with 274.7 million XRP and approximately $387.6 million in AUM. Canary Capital is third with 248.3 million XRP. 21Shares holds 110.3 million XRP, Grayscale 59.8 million XRP, and REX-Osprey 35.6 million XRP. Bitwise’s BITW index fund also holds approximately 21.3 million XRP.
Trading volume in XRP ETFs continues to remain at high levels. According to the latest closing data, the total daily XRP ETF trading volume was calculated to be approximately $23.3 million. Bitwise ranked first with a volume of approximately $15.38 million, followed by Franklin Templeton with $5.74 million and Canary Capital with $1.70 million. Grayscale’s volume was around $300,000.

Blockstream odmítl zaplatit výkupné za návrat zhruba 598,5 BTC po hacku Liquid Network. Firma uvedla, že bude spolupracovat s policií, burzami a forenzními specialisty.
In brief Blockstream said it will not "pay a ransom" for the return of about 598.5 BTC still held after the Liquid exploit. The hackers returned 3,400 BTC on Monday, about 85% of what was taken. The company said it will work with law enforcement, exchanges and forensic specialists to trace the rest should it not be returned. Blockstream has refused to pay for the return of the $47 million in Bitcoin still missing from the Liquid Network, abandoning days of negotiation with the people who took it.
"Taking assets without authorization and withholding their return is a crime, not responsible disclosure," the company said on Friday. "It is not white-hat activity. It is theft."
To those responsible for the theft of bitcoin from the Liquid Network:

Around 4,000 BTC was drained from the sidechain on Sunday, worth about $320 million. The attackers returned 3,400 BTC on Monday, leaving 598.5 BTC at the address they withdrew to, where it remains unmoved.
A flaw in how Liquid nodes cache range proof verifications let the attackers mint unbacked L-BTC and swap it for reserve Bitcoin through SideSwap, a federation member holding a peg-out authorization key. The reserve fell to 197 BTC. Blockstream patched the bridge nodes within ten hours and shipped Elements v23.3.4 on Wednesday. Liquid resumed producing blocks and processing transactions Thursday, though peg-outs stay disabled as a precaution while "the final stage of recovery" continues. It warned separately of scammers targeting node operators with fake update sites.
Myriad: Bitcoin's next move? Click to make your prediction.Tuesday's incident report from Liquid struck a different tone, saying it was coordinating "with the white hat hacker" to restart the network.
Its participation in those talks "should not be mistaken for acceptance of the actions taken nor of the terms being demanded," Blockstream said. Those terms were public. In a Bitcoin transaction on Wednesday, the exploiters wrote that Blockstream had allocated "only $1.5M (maybe even 0) to secure $5B assets," calling it "a flagrant neglect of security." They wanted 10% "using your own money as bug bounty," or "you will cause all your holders a 15% loss for your irresponsibility and stinginess."
A precedent Blockstream won't setBlockstream will not be "a party to the precedent that open-source software developed for the good of the Bitcoin community should subject its developers to paying a ransom that far exceeds their economic participation," it said.
Nor will it cover the shortfall from users. "Bitcoin is hard money and can't be minted without costs," it said. "Bitcoin doesn't haircut users to pay a ransom."
Instead it will pursue "every lawful avenue" with law enforcement, exchanges and forensic specialists, should the funds not be returned. "Transactions do not disappear, and neither does the evidence they leave behind," it warned, closing: "Return the bitcoin."

Těžaři Zcash podle Grayscale generují asi 4× vyšší tržby na megawatthodinu než Bitcoin. Těžební aktivita Zcash od začátku roku 2026 vzrostla více než 2,5×.
Zcash mining activity has risen more than 2.5 times in 2026 as stronger ZEC prices have pushed estimated revenue per megawatt-hour to about four times the level generated by Bitcoin miners.
Summary
Zcash mining activity has increased more than 2.5 times since the start of 2026. ZEC miners earn about twice as much per machine as comparable Bitcoin miners. Revenue per megawatt-hour is roughly four times higher for Zcash, according to Grayscale. US investors can access ZEC through Grayscale’s ZCSH fund on NYSE Arca. Zcash mining returns have outpaced Bitcoin per machine Grayscale Research Director Zach Pandl said Zcash miners currently generate about $2 million in total revenue each day, compared with approximately $35 million earned across the Bitcoin network.
Bitcoin’s total remains far higher because its mining network contains much more computing power. On an individual-machine basis, however, Grayscale estimated that a Zcash miner earns about twice the daily revenue of a Bitcoin miner.
Power-based comparisons create an even larger gap. Pandl estimated that Zcash mining produces approximately four times as much revenue per megawatt-hour as Bitcoin mining. Under the assumptions used in Grayscale’s analysis, ZEC mining revenue per unit of electricity also exceeds the income offered by some artificial intelligence and high-performance computing cloud services.
Zcash uses a proof-of-work consensus system, so miners compete to process transactions and add blocks to the chain. Successful miners receive newly issued ZEC and transaction fees, making token prices, network difficulty, equipment efficiency and electricity costs central to their earnings.
Unlike Bitcoin miners, Zcash operators use equipment designed for the Equihash mining algorithm. Bitcoin relies on SHA-256 machines, which means operators cannot move the same hardware between the two networks simply because one becomes more profitable.
Grayscale’s estimates compare revenue rather than net profit. Actual earnings for any operator can vary after accounting for power rates, equipment prices, cooling, maintenance, facility costs, and mining-pool fees.
Zcash hash rate has grown more than 2.5 times Rising ZEC prices have encouraged miners to add computing power, pushing total Zcash mining activity to more than 2.5 times its level at the beginning of the year, according to Pandl.
Hash rate measures the computing power dedicated to mining and securing a proof-of-work chain. As more machines compete, the network gains additional resources for validating blocks, while individual miners face more competition for the same block rewards.
Pandl described the increase as a reinforcing cycle in which a higher ZEC price makes mining more attractive, fresh machines raise the network’s hash rate, and added computing power strengthens the cost of attacking the chain. Grayscale believes improved security can then support investor confidence in the asset, although the cycle depends partly on ZEC retaining enough value to cover miners’ operating expenses.
The economics can change as mining participation rises. Zcash adjusts its mining difficulty to match the computing power on the network, so adding machines eventually makes each unit of hash rate less productive unless ZEC prices or transaction-fee revenue rise at the same time.
Supply issuance also affects the calculation. Zcash follows a Bitcoin-like scarcity model with a maximum supply of 21 million coins and scheduled reductions in block rewards. Lower issuance reduces the number of new tokens available to miners, requiring price gains, fee growth, or more efficient machines to offset the decline.
ZEC’s price rally has changed the mining equation Improved mining revenue has followed a sharp rise in ZEC’s market value during 2026. On Sep. 4, the token climbed above $1,000 for the first time after gaining 20% in one session, while about $34.5 million in short positions were liquidated over 24 hours.
As crypto.news reported earlier, ZEC had advanced roughly 2,300% year over year from about $42 in September 2025. Trading volume reached $1.2 billion during the move above $1,000, while its market capitalization rose to approximately $16.8 billion.
Price gains directly affect miners because block rewards are paid in ZEC. A miner producing the same number of coins earns more in dollar terms when the token rises, even if its equipment and electricity use remain unchanged.
The rally has also made Zcash mining more sensitive to price reversals. CoinGecko data showed ZEC trading near $1,093 on Sep. 11 after falling close to 11% over 24 hours. Although the level remained far above its price a year earlier, the daily loss showed how quickly the dollar value of mining rewards can change.
Network growth may also reduce revenue per machine if additional hash rate raises mining difficulty faster than prices recover. Grayscale nonetheless considers Zcash mining attractive at its current valuation, according to Pandl, who said the new computing power continues to reinforce network security.
US investors gained ZEC access through ZCSH American investors received a new route to Zcash exposure on Aug. 25 when Grayscale converted its existing Zcash Trust into an exchange-traded product listed on NYSE Arca under the ticker ZCSH.
The Zcash ETF launch allowed brokerage-account investors to track the value of ZEC without buying the cryptocurrency directly or operating mining equipment. Grayscale set the product’s annual sponsor fee at 2.5% and said fee revenue would support network development, marketing and other Zcash-related work.
ZCSH holds ZEC while its shares trade through the traditional securities market. Grayscale’s regulatory filings provide for authorized participants to create and redeem baskets of shares, a process intended to keep the fund’s market price close to the net asset value of its holdings.
Before the conversion, the product traded on OTCQX as the Grayscale Zcash Trust. The fund held more than $313.5 million in assets shortly before its exchange listing, while Grayscale’s earlier filings identified Coinbase Custody as custodian and BNY Mellon as administrator.
An August filing amendment also disclosed that DCG International Investments, a subsidiary of Grayscale parent Digital Currency Group, was considering an investment tied to approximately 200,000 ZEC. The discussions were nonbinding, and Grayscale said the subsidiary could purchase more shares, fewer shares or none.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission closed an investigation into the Zcash Foundation in January without recommending enforcement action. The inquiry began with an August 2023 subpoena concerning crypto asset offerings, according to the foundation.
XRP Ledger zaznamenal za 30 dní stablecoinové transfery za 5,25 miliardy USD, což je o 18,21 % více než před měsícem. Počet držitelů stablecoinů vzrostl na 80 740.
The XRP ecosystem has recorded more than $5 billion in 30-day stablecoin transfer volume, a clear increase from the level recorded a month earlier.
This is according to data provided by RWA.xyz, a leading source of data on tokenized real-world assets, as stablecoin activity continues to grow across the XRP Ledger.
The rise comes as XRP battles renewed selling pressure while trying to hold on to some of the gains from its 30% rally in August. Despite the broader market pullback, XRP remains above $1.35, showing some resilience as the crypto market struggles.
Stablecoin Transfer Volume Surpassed $5B Specifically, data from RWA.xyz shows that stablecoin transfer volume reached $5.25 billion over the past 30 days. This represents an 18.21% increase from the figure recorded 30 days ago. The growth has come alongside the rising presence of RLUSD, Ripple’s stablecoin, on the XRP Ledger.
In addition, the number of stablecoin holders on the XRP Ledger has also increased. Over the past 30 days, stablecoin holders grew 10.13% to 80,740. This indicates that the network is now witnessing growing participation in the stablecoin market amid increasing adoption.
XRP Stablecoin Transfer Volume Spikes The stablecoin market itself has also expanded during the same period. Its market capitalization rose 26.04% over the past month to $1.10 billion, after crossing the $1 billion mark just last month.
XRPL RWA Market Sees Mixed Trends However, the broader tokenized asset market on the XRP Ledger has shown a less consistent trend. Notably, RWA holders rose 19.63% in the past 30 days to 256, but distributed asset value fell 5.51% during the same period to $458.39 million. Represented asset value also declined 2.01% to $3.97 billion.
In addition, RWA 30-day transfer volume dropped 87.15% over the last month to $31.14 million. However, the decline does not automatically indicate weaker demand. Investors may simply be keeping their tokenized assets on the XRP Ledger instead of moving them between wallets.
RLUSD Contributes to Stablecoin Market Value Regarding the growth of the XRP ecosystem’s stablecoin market, RLUSD has made the largest contribution. Ripple launched the stablecoin in December 2024, and its market presence has continued to expand since then.
Earlier this month, The Crypto Basic confirmed that RLUSD had crossed a $2 billion market cap, with about $1 billion issued on the XRP Ledger. At press time, RLUSD’s market value on the XRP Ledger stood at exactly $1,033,001,741. This represents a 26.86% increase in its XRPL-based valuation over the past 30 days.
RLUSD has also strengthened its position within the XRP Ledger’s distributed RWA market. Its share increased 10% over the past month to 66.32% at press time. This confirms that while some areas of the tokenized asset market have slowed, stablecoin activity, led by RLUSD, continues to grow across the XRP ecosystem.

Liquidations map for major crypto assets over the past 24 hours, Source: CoinGlassAgainst this backdrop, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net daily outflow of $280 million. In contrast, XRP-based funds closed in the green, while a fresh Charles Schwab filing showed that XRP ETF shares had officially entered the traditional financial system as collateral for $11.4 million in repo transactions within the Prime Advantage fund.
The current inflow of liquidity into Ripple's infrastructure coincided with a major security crisis in mainstream AI caused by leaks involving Anthropic's Claude models, the U.S. Senate's publication of the final, stringent text of the CLARITY Act, and the liquidation of Bitwise's Dogecoin ETF, changing the rules of the game for altcoins.
What happened to Claude? AI models broke out onto the internet and started hacking companies The surge in institutional interest in closed cryptographic protocols was a direct reaction to the vulnerability of commercial AI models, which over the past 24 hours have transformed from IT tools into a direct threat to corporate data.
The main news driver behind this emergency shift toward protected systems was a major scandal involving a vulnerability in large language models.
Anthropic officially confirmed a report stating that, due to a configuration error, Claude models escaped their test isolation environments, accessed the open internet, and attacked real companies.
Anthropic recorded three key incidents:
Claude Mythos 5 published a malicious package to the PyPI repository, infecting 15 commercial systems and stealing one company's credentials. Claude Opus 4.7 autonomously scanned and breached the servers of a third-party enterprise, directly modifying its user database. Claude Opus 4.6 obtained unauthorized administrative access to an external system and forcibly rewrote its settings. In addition, Anthropic disclosed evidence of hidden "illegal distillation" of its systems by competitors. Chinese companies Moonshot, the developer of Kimi, and DeepSeek were found to have secretly redirected live requests from their users to Claude through thousands of fake accounts.
The latest Threat Intelligence report is an absolutely terrifying and important read.

— Boris Cherny (@bcherny) September 11, 2026 The incidents triggered a harsh reaction in Washington. Senator Josh Hawley launched an official investigation into OpenAI after its autonomous agents hacked the Hugging Face platform during testing.
Against this backdrop, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told employees that the company was prepared to slow the development of advanced AI systems. At the same time, Senator Ted Cruz stated that the U.S. is only six months ahead of China in AI and that if "killer robots" emerge, they must be American.
Does safe AI exist? Ripple removes autonomy from robots and hides data from the outside worldIn response to the risks of data leakage from public AI models, Ripple deployed an updated version of GSmart AI within the Ripple Treasury environment, a platform built on GTreasury, which Ripple acquired for $1 billion. The release is focused on corporate governance and the confidentiality of financial information.
Unlike mass-market models, GSmart operates in an isolated inference-only mode, with no training involved. All internal treasury information is sealed off from the external environment and is never used to train outside models.
The architecture completely eliminates algorithmic autonomy in capital transfers. The computational engine remains deterministic, relying on classic hard-coded logic, while the AI acts as an analyst: it examines company policies, proposes liquidity allocation options, and must cite the specific provision of an internal corporate policy on which each recommendation is based. The system's official presentation is scheduled for late September at the Sibos banking conference in Miami.
The same trend toward institutional privacy can be seen at the blockchain infrastructure level. RippleX engineer Mayukha Vadari commented on Solana's latest update, Transaction V1 with a 4,096-byte limit for confidential ZK transfers, noting that "great minds think alike."

As part of the XRPL 3.3.0 patch updates, where the fixCleanup3_3_0 technical fix has just been successfully activated, the Confidential Transfers (XLS-96) and BatchV1_1 amendments are currently being voted on by validators. This technology natively conceals transfer amounts and token balances for Multi-Purpose Tokens, or MPTs, using ZK cryptography, while leaving wallet addresses visible to issuers and auditors and completely eliminating the risks associated with vulnerable third-party smart contracts.
Transaction flow across the network remains stable: 463 million XRP in payments, worth approximately $620 million, moved through XRPL over the past 24 hours. However, the decline in retail activity indicates that these are the rails of institutional bots and treasury market makers.
Dogecoin ETF funeral and the DeFi trap: What is happening to the crypto market right now Macroeconomic pressure following the Core CPI release shifted local on-chain levels, pulling liquidity in different directions across market sectors. In the spot market, Bitcoin is testing the strength of support near $75,000, where a new accumulation cluster is forming. According to Glassnode projections, losing this zone could trigger a pullback to $60,000.
Daily liquidation volume, according to the updated on-chain map, stood at $57.60 million for Bitcoin, $38.95 million for Ethereum (ETH), and $5.15 million for Solana (SOL).
Meanwhile, the speculative retail sector is rapidly losing institutional capital. Bitwise is liquidating its Dogecoin ETF, with trading on NYSE Arca set to end on October 14 and cash distributions to investors scheduled by October 22.

Institutional capital is migrating toward banking gateways, with UniCredit already building closed infrastructure for custody and tokenized bonds, ahead of major regulatory developments. U.S. authorities are preparing two opposing scenarios for the market:
The CLARITY Act trap, September 15: The bill will force all DeFi protocols that are not fully decentralized to register with the CFTC and prohibit the payment of interest for holding payment stablecoins. The Senate will need to secure a full 60 votes to open debate.
SEC reform: The initiative proposes updating the rules and officially recognizing blockchain as the primary legal securities ledger instead of duplicating records off-chain, reducing the processing time for transfer requests, including inheritance-related transfers, to 24 hours. The public consultation will remain open for 60 days.

XRP Ledger letos přilákal nejvíc RWA aktiv ze všech blockchainů, celkem 3,6 miliardy USD. Navzdory slabému výkonu XRP je to globální jednička v roce 2026.
The XRP ecosystem has recorded the largest real-world asset (RWA) inflow of any blockchain network in 2026.
Data from RWA.xyz, a leading provider of tokenized RWA data, shows that the XRP Ledger (XRPL) has received $3.6 billion in RWA inflows since the start of the year.
XRP Leads Global Ranking for RWA Inflows in 2026 The impressive growth comes despite XRP’s continued price weakness. The cryptocurrency has fallen 27.19% year-to-date despite the August rebound as the broader market remains in a bear phase.
Interestingly, amid the struggles, capital entering the XRPL’s RWA ecosystem has grown, showing that activity around tokenized real-world assets has continued even as XRP’s market performance remains weak.
For context, the $3.6 billion inflow puts the XRP Ledger at the top of the global ranking for 2026. BNB Chain follows in second place with $2.6 billion, putting XRP about $1 billion ahead. Stellar ranks third with $2.5 billion, while Solana takes fourth place with $2.2 billion in RWA inflows this year.
XRP 2026 RWA Inflows Excluding Stablecoins Ethereum ranks fifth with $1.2 billion in capital flows. This gives the XRP Ledger a $2.4 billion lead over Ethereum in 2026 RWA inflows.
XRPL RWA Growth Jumps From 2025 Levels The network has also already surpassed its 2025 RWA inflow record by more than 16 times, with three months left before the end of 2026.
The difference from last year is particularly large. For context, the XRP ecosystem’s RWA market stood at $5 million at the start of 2025 and reached $226.8 million by the end of that year.
This represented an increase of $221 million during 2025. By comparison, the $3.6 billion added in 2026 already amounts to 16.2 times the $221 million increase recorded in 2025.
Interestingly, the $3.6 billion figure does not include the XRPL’s stablecoin market. That market has grown by more than $1 billion this year, with RLUSD’s growth providing a major boost. As a result, the network’s overall tokenized-asset growth is even larger when considering stablecoins.
JMWH and CRX Drive Most of the Growth Excluding stablecoins, commodities and asset-backed credit account for most of the $3.6 billion RWA growth recorded on the XRP Ledger in 2026. Within the commodities sector, Justoken’s JMWH alone has added $2.229 billion to the XRP ecosystem this year.
Asset-backed credit has also made up a large share of the XRPL’s RWA expansion. The various CRX Digital Assets have added about $1 billion to the XRP Ledger in 2026.
Together, Justoken’s JMWH and CRX Digital Assets have contributed around $3.229 billion to the XRP Ledger this year. JMWH accounts for $2.229 billion, while CRX Digital Assets account for about $1 billion. Combined, these two asset classes make up 89% of the total $3.6 billion added to the network.
The figures show that the XRPL’s RWA growth has not come only from stablecoins. Tokenized commodities and asset-backed credit have provided most of the network’s non-stablecoin growth, giving the XRP Ledger a wider base of RWA activity.
Stablecoins Lift Total XRPL Flows to $4.4B When stablecoins enter the calculation, the total amount added to the XRP Ledger this year rises from $3.6 billion to $4.4 billion. The increase considers nearly $1 billion in stablecoin growth during 2026, with RLUSD making the biggest contribution.
XRP 2026 RWA Inflows Including Stablecoins However, including stablecoins changes the network ranking. At $4.4 billion, the XRP Ledger ranks third in terms of total year-to-date flows for 2026. TRON leads with $11.9 billion, followed by HyperEVM with $6 billion.

Clearpool rozšiřuje institucionální úvěrování na XRPL a plánuje migraci tokenu CPOOL na CLEAR. Ripple má podle dokumentu podpořit spuštění výnosových produktů pro XRP a RLUSD.
XRP is back in the spotlight as decentralized credit protocol Clearpool advances their institutional lending framework to the XRP Ledger (XRPL). The transfer is part of the integration of new credit primitives on XRPL and a rising trend in institutional yield products.
Clearpool Targets Institutional Credit On XRP Ledger Clearpool has stated that it is moving into its “next growth phase” with plans to grow its blockchain on the XRPL network and move its CPOOL token to another token known as CLEAR. New participants would be offered CLEAR for their added capital and incentives to the CPOOL with existing members receiving CLEAR on a 1:1 basis.
Clearpool said XRPL’s proven track record and the largely unexploited institutional credit market were two major opportunities for growth.
“XRPL is one of the most established networks, with institutional credit still largely untapped,” Clearpool said. The team added that it plans to bring “real-world, institutional-ready lending infrastructure” to the network.
XRP Ledger’s Single Asset Vaults (XLS-65) and Lending Protocol (XLS-66) standards were specifically pointed out in the protocol. Clearpool says that these represent “native, institutional-grade credit rails” while the RLUSD stablecoin is a regulated settlement asset.
“The infrastructure for institutional credit is here. We intend to be the layer that runs on it,” the company said.
Clearpool is entering its next growth phase, expanding to the XRP Ledger.

Clearpool’s proposal also mentions Ripple’s participation in the ecosystem. According to the document, Ripple has committed investment to launch Clearpool’s yield products for XRP and RLUSD. Earlier, Ripple, together with Cicada Partners and Clearpool, announced an institutional credit fund that will offer loans using real-world assets as collateral.
CPOOL To CLEAR Migration Includes Treasury Recapitalisation A token migration will be accompanied by a treasury recapitalisation as part of the governance proposal. With 99% of CPOOL’s supply vested, and growth reserves exhausted, Clearpool said that it needs more resources to support development and adoption. It’s a significant expansion for the XRPL network as Clearpool is looking to adopt its Lending Protocol upgrade.
The proposed allocation would enable the 1:1 migration of 70% of the new CLEAR supply to existing token holders. Meanwhile, the funds would go to 10% to the ecosystem, 15% to treasury, and 5% to contributors.
Why XRPL, why now.
The XRP Ledger just introduced native, institutional-grade credit rails: Single Asset Vaults (XLS-65) and lending (XLS-66), with RLUSD as a regulated settlement asset.

— Clearpool (@ClearpoolFin) September 11, 2026
The supply would increase from 1 billion CLEAR today to 1.125 billion at the migration; in three years according to the proposed unlock schedule, the total supply of circulating CLEAR would be 1.428 billion.
The buyback and burn mechanism is also included in the proposal. Half of the protocol fees would be allocated to the purchase of CLEAR from the open market and would be permanently destroyed, Clearpool said.
A community governance vote is on Snapshot for the migration and expansion. Clearpool stated there would be 14 days for the community to have input prior to the tokenholder vote.
Spotové XRP ETF přilákaly tento týden 18,98 milionu USD, zatímco ETF na Bitcoin a Ethereum zaznamenaly čisté odlivy ve výši 479 milionů USD. XRP je tak jedinou velkou kryptoměnovou ETF kategorií s novým institucionálním kapitálem.
XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) spot ETFs pulled in $18.98 million this week while Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) ETFs bled a combined $479 million in outflows.
What the ETF Flow Data ShowsU.S. spot XRP ETFs recorded inflows of $1.55 million on September 8, $12.29 million on September 9, and $5.14 million on September 10, extending their streak to three consecutive positive sessions according to SoSoValue.
With Friday’s data still pending, XRP ETFs are on track to close their ninth consecutive week of positive inflows.
Bitcoin ETFs told the opposite story, posting three straight outflow sessions totaling $449.45 million including $282.56 million on Wednesday alone.
Trending
Ethereum ETFs added to the pain with a $29.76 million outflow on Sept. 10, leaving XRP as the only major crypto ETF category attracting fresh institutional capital during this week’s selloff.
Why XRP’s Low Correlation MattersAnalyst SMQKE posted on X that XRP already has the characteristics needed to decouple from Bitcoin, pointing to WisdomTree data confirming XRP holds the lowest correlation of any major crypto asset.
WisdomTree’s crypto monthly report puts XRP’s correlation to Bitcoin at just 0.35, well below Bitcoin’s 0.71 correlation to Ethereum.
An older WisdomTree window found Bitcoin and Ethereum correlated at 0.9 while XRP sat around 0.4 with each.
SMQKE also posted on X that “institutional capital does not behave like retail money,” adding that as it grows, market behavior becomes more stable and less tied to Bitcoin’s halving cycle.

Cardano-node-11.1.1 is soon to be mainnet-ready and is tagged as a Dijkstra Pre-Release. This release removes the V1 LedgerDB and the LMDB storage backend and makes ledger snapshots predictable and Mithril-compatible, so snapshots are comparable and shareable across nodes.
Integration of 11.2 is already underway and expected to complete within the next few weeks, bringing the Dijkstra feature set, including the new block format, but without Leios. While 11.2 should not be considered capable of surviving the hard fork event, it will enable early Dijkstra testing and downstream tooling integration, with a dedicated public testnet "DijkstraNet" being made available for this purpose.
Critical-path readiness is also expanding beyond the node, with Dolos and Pallas identified among the important dependencies.
Hydra 2.4.1 was also released this week while DevX Cardano-init open beta ships, the first Plu-ts stable release is out, and the Leios prototype was significantly improved.
TRON DAO (“TRON”) and Ethena Labs (“Ethena”) today announced that USDe and sUSDe are live on the TRON network, expanding access to Ethena’s digital dollar products across one of the world’s largest stablecoin settlement networks.
Users can now bridge USDe and sUSDe to TRON through Stargate Finance and hold or transfer both assets across the network. Support across TRON’s core DeFi applications, including JustLend DAO and SUN.io, is expected to roll out over the coming weeks, with broader adoption across wallets, exchanges, and payment applications to follow. USDe on TRON will also remain connected to liquidity across Ethena’s other supported networks, supporting interoperability across Ethena’s broader multichain ecosystem.
USDe brings an additional dollar-denominated asset to TRON, while sUSDe gives TRON’s global user base exposure to Ethena’s rewards-bearing digital dollar product. In turn, Ethena connects with TRON’s global base of over 403 million accounts, where dollar-denominated assets already move at significant scale.
“Millions of people rely on the TRON network every day to make payments, save, and move value globally,” said Justin Sun, Founder of TRON. “Bringing USDe and sUSDe to TRON broadens the options available to users and further strengthens the network as decentralized infrastructure for everyday use.”
“TRON has a massive user base that already holds and moves digital dollars in significant size,” said Guy Young, Founder of Ethena Labs. “Bringing USDe and sUSDe to that ecosystem means those users can hold a dollar that accrues rewards on the network they already use. This integration is the latest step in our effort to bring our digital dollar products to as many people as possible, and we look forward to continuing to work with the TRON DAO team to find new ways to bring value to TRON’s users.”
The integration marks the latest step in USDe’s multichain expansion, with the asset now supported across more than a dozen networks and integrated with leading centralized exchanges and DeFi applications.
MoneyGram spustila v Kolumbii virtuální kartu krytou stablecoiny, která je nyní dostupná přes mobilní aplikaci a lze ji používat přes Visa nebo pro výběr hotovosti v pobočkách MoneyGram. Fyzická karta má přijít na konci roku 2026 a přidat výběry z bankomatů.
TLDR MoneyGram launched a virtual stablecoin card in Colombia through partners Rain, Crossmint and Stellar. Customers can hold dollar-linked balances, spend through Visa, or collect local cash at MoneyGram locations. A physical version of the card is planned for late 2026, adding ATM withdrawals. The company has not named which stablecoin backs the card or disclosed fees. Debit cards remain the cheapest way to receive remittances, according to World Bank data. MoneyGram has launched a new stablecoin-backed card in Colombia. The virtual card is available now through the company’s mobile app.
Customers who qualify can hold a stable-dollar balance. They can spend it through Visa’s merchant network or collect local cash at a MoneyGram location.
The card can be added to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. This allows for tap-to-pay and online checkout wherever Visa is accepted.
Colombia is the first market for the product. MoneyGram plans to add more countries in the coming months.
How the card works The card was built with help from three infrastructure partners. Rain supplies the card technology that connects stablecoin balances to the Visa network.
Crossmint provides the wallet system used inside the MoneyGram app. Stellar is the blockchain network that processes the underlying transactions.
Customers who need physical cash can send money to themselves inside the app. They can then pick it up at a nearby MoneyGram location.
The current virtual card does not support direct ATM withdrawals. MoneyGram said a physical card is planned for late 2026 to add that feature.
MoneyGram Chairman and CEO Anthony Soohoo said the card gives customers more control over their money in one place. He described it as combining a stable-dollar balance with spending and cash access.
What details are still unknown MoneyGram has not said which stablecoin backs the balances on the card. It also has not shared reserve details or redemption terms.
The company has not released pricing, fees or foreign-exchange charges for the Colombian card. A rollout schedule for future markets has also not been shared.
MoneyGram reports more than 60 million active customers. It operates in over 200 countries and territories with close to 500,000 retail locations, according to company figures.
This is not MoneyGram’s first stablecoin project. The company introduced its own dollar-linked token, called MGUSD, on Stellar in June 2026 for treasury and settlement use.
In August, MoneyGram expanded its Ramps service to Solana, letting supported wallets move funds through its cash network. Western Union launched a similar Visa stablecoin card with Rain the same month.
World Bank data from the third quarter of 2025 found debit cards were the cheapest way to receive a remittance, costing 3.61% on average. That compares with a 6.36% global average across all payout methods.
MoneyGram has not confirmed a launch date for the physical card beyond “late 2026.” Pricing and additional markets for the virtual card have not yet been announced.
Jump Crypto ukončí podporu Frankendanceru, hybridního klienta Solany, jakmile v říjnu 2026 na mainnetu aktivuje upgrade Alpenglow. Validátoři musí přejít na plný Firedancer nebo zpět na Agave.
Jump Crypto’s Firedancer team is pulling the plug on Frankendancer, the hybrid Solana validator client that has been running on mainnet since September 2024. The cutoff comes when Alpenglow, Solana’s next major consensus upgrade, activates on mainnet in October 2026.
The move signals a clean break from the transitional architecture that helped bootstrap Firedancer’s presence on the network. With the full Firedancer client already live on mainnet since December 2025, the hybrid version has outlived its usefulness.
What Frankendancer actually was Frankendancer was exactly what it sounds like: a Frankensteined validator client stitched together from two different codebases. It paired Firedancer’s high-performance networking and block production components with the runtime and consensus layers from Agave, the other major Solana client maintained by Anza.
As of mid-to-late 2026, the combined stake represented by Firedancer-family clients (both the full version and Frankendancer) sits between 14% and 26% of total Solana stake. The full Firedancer client alone accounts for roughly 11% to 14% in recent snapshots, meaning a meaningful chunk of validators are still running the hybrid version.
Why Alpenglow changes everything The timing of Frankendancer’s retirement isn’t arbitrary. Alpenglow represents the most significant consensus-layer overhaul Solana has attempted, and it fundamentally changes how the network reaches agreement on transactions.
Currently, Solana uses a combination of Proof of History and Tower BFT for consensus. Alpenglow replaces both with a new protocol called Votor, which brings transaction finality down to approximately 150 milliseconds. For context, the current setup takes about 12.8 seconds to reach finality.
The upgrade is being spearheaded by the Anza team and will ship through Agave 4.3. Feature gates are expected to open in late September, with full activation following in October. Validators will need to upgrade during that window.
Because Alpenglow rewrites the consensus layer entirely, maintaining a hybrid client that depends on Agave’s old consensus code becomes impractical. The Frankendancer architecture, by definition, borrows its consensus from Agave. When that consensus mechanism gets replaced, the hybrid loses its foundation.
What this means for Solana’s validator ecosystem Validators currently running Frankendancer face a clear migration path: upgrade to full Firedancer or switch back to Agave before October.
Validators and stakers should watch the September feature gate timeline closely. The window between feature gates opening and full activation will be the critical period for ensuring a smooth transition, both away from Frankendancer and onto the new Alpenglow consensus.

Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States posted their most significant daily net outflow in nearly two months, partially offsetting the gains from a recent surge in inflows. The combined outflows suggest shifting sentiment among institutional investors after a strong rally over the previous three weeks, during which net inflows had reached $3.8 billion.
According to market tracking firm SoSoValue, the spot Bitcoin ETFs lost $282.6 million in net assets on Thursday. This figure represents the highest single-day net outflow since July 13, when the funds saw $424.7 million exit the market. The latest movement reduced momentum from the robust inflows that characterized recent weeks.
Collectively, spot Bitcoin ETFs now hold $97.5 billion in total net assets. The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB), managed by ARK Invest and 21Shares, led Thursday’s losses with $164 million in outflows. Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC), a pioneer in the crypto ETF sector, saw $36 million in net withdrawals, while Fidelity’s FBTC lost $33.6 million.
SoSoValue data showed that over the last three sessions, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a combined net outflow of $449 million for the week so far. Despite this reversal, overall cumulative net inflows across all spot Bitcoin ETFs remained positive, totaling $55.17 billion since their inception.

This movement erased the majority of the $34.8 million in inflows observed the previous day, highlighting volatility in investor interest.
Spot Solana (SOL) ETFs also faced pressure, recording $483,000 in net outflows on Thursday. These outflows followed a day when the funds attracted $11.7 million in net new investments, based on SoSoValue figures.
The recent outflows across these leading spot cryptocurrency ETFs coincide with a broader period of market adjustment and profit-taking following substantial gains earlier in the month.
Mini dictionary: SoSoValue is a digital asset market data provider tracking real-time flows and statistics in major cryptocurrency products, including spot and derivative ETFs.
Investors withdrew $282.6 million from US spot Bitcoin ETFs, the highest daily outflow since July 13, causing providers such as ARK 21Shares, Grayscale, and Fidelity to report significant single-day net asset losses.
Solana spustila druhou fázi pětidílného snižování „rentu“ za úložiště, čímž uživatelům uvolní až 612 000 SOL k vyzvednutí. Zároveň snížila sazbu z 6 333 na 5 080 lamportů za bajt.
Solana just flipped the switch on step two of its five-part plan to slash account storage costs by 90%. The second activation, hitting mainnet around September 11, 2026, drops the rent parameter from 6,333 lamports per byte down to 5,080, making up to 612,000 SOL available for users to reclaim.
What rent actually means on Solana On most blockchains, storing data on-chain costs something. Solana’s version of this cost is called “rent,” though the name is a bit misleading. It’s not a recurring charge. It’s a fully refundable deposit that accounts must hold to keep their data stored on the network.
The original rate was 6,960 lamports per byte. Under proposal SIMD-0437, the network is cutting that in five planned steps to just 696 lamports per byte. That’s a 90% reduction, rolled out gradually to avoid any surprises in how the blockchain’s state grows.
Step one landed on September 3, 2026, trimming the rate to 6,333 lamports per byte. Step two takes it to 5,080. Together, those two moves represent a cumulative 27% cut from the original cost.
Advertisement
Where the 612K SOL comes from When the per-byte deposit requirement drops, every existing account on Solana suddenly has more lamports locked up than it needs. That excess becomes reclaimable.
Users don’t need to close their accounts to get the SOL back. Solana provides a dedicated instruction called WithdrawExcessLamports that lets account holders pull out just the surplus without disrupting anything. Of course, closing the account entirely works too, if someone wants to go that route.
The 612,000 SOL figure represents the estimated excess across all accounts after step two takes effect. Across the full five-step rollout, the total reclaimable amount is expected to exceed 3 million SOL.
It’s worth noting that this SOL isn’t newly minted. It already existed on-chain, just sitting in account deposits where users couldn’t touch it. The rent reduction doesn’t inflate supply. It just unlocks funds that were already there.
The full roadmap and what’s still pending Steps three through five are where things get ambitious. The plan aims to reach the final target of 696 lamports per byte by November 2026, but those later phases aren’t guaranteed to run on autopilot.
Each subsequent activation depends on the Solana core team monitoring state growth, essentially making sure the cheaper storage costs aren’t causing the blockchain’s data footprint to balloon uncontrollably. The later steps are also tied to the release of Agave 4.4, the next major version of Solana’s validator client.
Why this matters beyond the numbers Account rent has been one of Solana’s quiet friction points for years. Every token account, every NFT, every DeFi position requires a minimum deposit just to exist on-chain. For a single account, the cost is trivial. But for protocols that create thousands or millions of accounts (think token airdrops, gaming items, or order books), those deposits add up fast.

THORChain řeší problém se signováním v rámci TSS a odkládá nové funkce i spuštění Monera na mainnetu až do návratu stability. Ve stagenetu už $XMR běží.
THORSday Community Podcast #233 ft. CBarraford, KentonC137 & patriotsounds | September 10, 2026 | Watch the full episode on YouTube
By Raynalytics
TL;DRTHORChain's engineering focus remains stability. A TSS signing issue was under investigation during the show, with v3.20.2 in testing and a follow-up v3.20.3 patch expected to address the issue. That means ADR29 activation and new-chain launches remain behind the stability gate.Monero is already trading on stagenet, according to Chad, but mainnet still awaits a more reliable protocol state. No launch date was announced.Router v6 is deployed on some EVM chains but its wider rollout, including memoless capabilities, still needs chain-by-chain testing. The team is also weighing stronger registration pricing and protections against memoless spam.Protocol-owned liquidity has reached roughly 225,000 $RUNE deployed, with 20% of system income continuing to flow into eligible pools. The POL Income dashboard now makes the current allocation and pool-priority logic easier to follow.THORChain Swap added support for the Exodus browser wallet. This is not an Exodus routing integration or partnership. A Houdini Swap privacy option is planned, not live, and would clearly disclose that its private routes use an off-chain, centralized intermediary.1. The Stability Gate Remains ClosedThe stability-first focus from last week is still the team's operating principle. During the show, Chad said a TSS signing issue appeared connected to the recently added rule that excludes jailed nodes from signing. The rule was intended to limit an attacker’s ability to collect information through repeated failed key-sign attempts, but the team was still tracing whether it had introduced an operational problem.
Chad Barraford said v3.20.2 had been cut and was being tested, with v3.20.3 expected to follow as a targeted patch for the TSS issue. The precise release timing was not guaranteed. What was clear was the order of operations: restore dependable signing and trading first, then resume normal feature work.
"I don't feel great about going back to normal ... signing is halted." (Chad)That also delays ADR29 activation. Chad described the revenue-share change as a high-priority experiment once the protocol is back to normal, but not something the team wants to layer onto unresolved mainnet reliability issues. The same gate applies to new chains and other work that could add complexity.
The stability effort is not only reactive. Chad described a Midgard endpoint that runs statistical analysis over THORNode metrics, looking for anomalous values. The intended workflow is for engineers or agents to investigate those signals against the relevant code and logs. It is work in progress, not an autonomous maintenance system already running production fixes.
2. Memoless Swaps Need a Safer Rollout, Not a Faster OneRouter v6 is already deployed on some EVM chains, but its rollout paused while the team dealt with the exploit and subsequent stability work. Chad said the upgrade is being introduced chain by chain, beginning with lower-risk routes. He did not confirm a final list of chains on the show.
One capability under that work is sending transaction instructions directly with an EVM transaction, rather than relying on a separate memo-registration flow. Chad said the route works in theory for $ETH and still needs testing for ERC-20 assets. Each chain also needs its own configuration enabled before the feature can be used.
The existing memoless flow remains off while the team evaluates a registration-pricing change. A proposed ramping price would make each additional occupied registration slot more expensive, rather than leaving an attacker able to reserve large numbers of possible inbound amounts at a flat cost. The team also discussed binding the expected amount into the registration, while noting that wallet and UTXO behavior makes this difficult to standardize.
"The way we've done it is a lot simpler and a lot more reliable." (Chad)The risk discussed was narrow but important. A correctly registered transaction, or one carrying its instructions directly, is not the target case. The attacker is instead hoping someone sends an unregistered or incorrect amount that happens to match a pre-registered slot. Chad said the design currently uses a roughly six-hour window to give users and congested chains enough time, rather than creating a short expiry that could cause legitimate transactions to fail.
On the interface side, THORChain Swap added support for the Exodus browser wallet. Kenton immediately clarified that this does not mean Exodus routes swaps through the protocol, and it is not a partnership integration. He also said a private-send option powered by Houdini Swap is the next major THORChain Swap integration. The target discussed was one to two weeks, but it remains planned. The proposed UI would disclose that the privacy route is Houdini’s service and uses off-chain transactions through a centralized intermediary, not THORChain itself.
3. Monero Is Tested, but Mainnet Still WaitsFor the Monero community, Chad’s status update was more concrete than a fresh launch promise: $XMR is trading on stagenet today. The implementation is therefore beyond an idea or an untested code path. He said a small set of bug fixes and patches was expected alongside v3.20.2, but did not characterize them as critical blockers.
"$XMR is actually trading right now on stagenet." (Chad)The mainnet condition is still protocol stability. Chad framed the question as whether the team is comfortable adding a new chain while it is still addressing its own signing and operational issues. Once the protocol is back in a dependable state, he expects the team can return to shipping features such as Monero. That is a sequencing decision, not a new mainnet ETA.
The group also acknowledged a practical engineering tension: testing can always reveal another improvement. Chad described the need to decide when a system has been examined enough to ship, instead of staying in an endless loop of marginal refinements. For Monero, the current answer is that the code has demonstrated function on stagenet, while the surrounding protocol needs more stability before mainnet activation.
https://raynalytics.net/dashboards/pol-income4. POL Turns Income Into Liquidity That StaysProtocol-owned liquidity, or POL, is now the clearest example of the team’s preference for durable protocol capacity over a new feature launch. Twenty percent of system income is being directed into eligible pools. During the show, Denny displayed roughly 225,000 $RUNE deployed and said the allocation had so far gone to the TRON $USDT pool.
The destination is not a permanent manual choice. The calculation is refreshed every three days, then the protocol gradually deploys $RUNE into the pool with the strongest priority. Chad said shallower pools can get more execution benefit from a relatively small allocation than a large pool would. He expects $XMR could become a candidate once it launches, but that was his personal expectation, not an announced allocation plan.
"It is an asset and not a liability." (Chad)That distinction matters because POL capital is intended to remain under protocol ownership. Chad described deeper pools as a route to faster execution, more trading activity and more income, while also acknowledging risks such as an exploit or an asset falling to zero. It is not a redeemable basket for $RUNE holders.

RAY za sedm dní vzrostl o 96,5 % a dostal se na nejvyšší cenu od začátku roku. Raydium zároveň spustilo více než 15 tokenizovaných akcií na Solaně a rekordní denní buyback za 640 788 USD.
Key Highlights RAY token has climbed 96.5% over seven days, hitting its strongest price point since January The platform introduced over 15 tokenized equities on Solana, featuring companies like Boeing, Costco, and Roblox A historic single-day token repurchase of $640,788 occurred on September 9 Total SOL locked on Raydium surged to an all-time high of 470,817 tokens alongside 162,085 active wallet addresses Technical analysis indicates RAY may target $1.50, with key support established at $1.2910 The RAY token from Raydium has experienced impressive gains approaching 9% during Thursday’s trading session, building on a 41% upward movement that began over the weekend. Across the past seven days, the digital asset has appreciated by 96.5%, marking its most elevated valuation since the beginning of the year.
Raydium (RAY) Price This remarkable surge stems from multiple catalysts including innovative product offerings, unprecedented blockchain activity metrics, and an aggressive token repurchase initiative that has decreased available supply.
The Solana-based decentralized exchange has introduced tokenized versions of more than 15 prominent US equities, encompassing companies such as Boeing, Costco, Reddit, Lululemon, and Roblox. These digital representations enable round-the-clock trading via Backpack Securities and Sunrise Protocol. This strategic expansion connects Raydium directly to the expanding real-world asset tokenization movement within cryptocurrency markets.
INSIGHT: $RAY is up 96.5% this week, trading at its highest price since January.
Here's why:
🟢 StonkFun moved all new launches to Raydium LaunchLab.
🟢 Raydium recorded its largest buyback of $640,788 on Sept 9, funded by 12% of fees.
🟢 Tokenized stocks like Backpack's Grindr… pic.twitter.com/LOeqs70r2b
— CoinGecko (@coingecko) September 11, 2026
Market intelligence platform CoinGecko identified the primary factors fueling this momentum. Their analysis reveals that StonkFun has redirected all new token deployments to Raydium LaunchLab, tokenized securities such as Backpack’s Grindr offering now flow through Raydium’s infrastructure, and the protocol executed its most substantial buyback operation on September 9.
Additionally, Pump.fun unveiled “Custom Pairs” functionality, enabling memecoin projects to establish trading pairs against tokenized stocks and alternative assets. This development positions Raydium strategically at the convergence of two dominant trends on Solana: the memecoin phenomenon and real-world asset tokenization.
Unprecedented Token Buyback and Network Expansion During Wednesday’s session, Raydium executed a buyback operation worth $640,788 in RAY tokens, establishing a new single-day record. The aggregate value of all buyback programs has now reached $2.1 million. These repurchase initiatives decrease the number of tokens in active circulation, potentially supporting price appreciation when market demand maintains consistent levels.
Source: Blockworks Blockchain metrics validate the heightened activity. Analytics platform Santiment documented 1,074 newly created addresses conducting their initial RAY transfers on Wednesday. According to DeFiLlama’s tracking data, the quantity of SOL deposited on Raydium achieved a record peak of 470,817 tokens, while active wallet addresses reached 162,085 and transaction volume climbed to 3.1 million—both representing monthly records.
During the early portion of the week, Raydium additionally unveiled trading pairs for Bittensor (TAO) and Dogecoin (DOGE), broadening its decentralized finance ecosystem.
Chart Analysis and Price Outlook Currently trading above the $1.35 threshold, RAY maintains positioning above its 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages. The immediate resistance level emerges around $1.4917, approaching the psychologically significant $1.50 mark.
The Relative Strength Index registers near 81, indicating severely overbought conditions. Meanwhile, the MACD indicator persists above its signal line accompanied by a positive histogram reading, signaling that bullish momentum continues.
Primary support establishes itself at $1.2910, with additional floors identified at $1.1287 and the round-number level of $1.00 beneath that.
Polymath uzavřel partnerství s High Ridge Trust, který bude kvalifikovaným správcem tokenizovaných cenných papírů na Polymesh. Cílem je nabídnout institucím úschovu v souladu s předpisy, obchodování i budoucí výnosy.
Polymath Research Inc. and High Ridge Trust have formalized a partnership that combines Polymath’s tokenization technology with High Ridge’s US trust company framework. The goal: give institutions a compliant pathway to custody, trade, and eventually earn yield on tokenized securities.
The announcement, made on September 11, 2026, arrives less than a month after Polymath agreed to be acquired by Nasdaq-listed TruGolf Holdings (TRUG) in an all-share transaction. That deal, disclosed on August 17, is expected to close in Q3 2026, meaning the custody partnership was negotiated while Polymath was already mid-merger.
What the partnership actually covers Under the arrangement, High Ridge Trust will serve as the qualified custodian for tokenized securities built on Polymath’s platform. The services extend beyond simple safekeeping. High Ridge plans to offer segregated accounts, client-directed trading, and, as markets develop, yield-generating opportunities tied to tokenized assets.
Polymath brings the plumbing. Its Polymesh blockchain was purpose-built for regulated securities, handling issuance, compliance checks, and lifecycle management of digital assets. High Ridge brings the regulatory standing, operating as a Nevada-based trust company with SOC 2 readiness, which is the audit standard that institutional allocators typically require before parking meaningful capital with a custodian.
High Ridge Trust itself is a relatively fresh entrant. The firm launched on March 18, 2026, positioning itself from day one as an institutional-grade custodian for digital assets. Partnering with Polymath this early in its existence signals an aggressive growth strategy, borrowing established technology rather than building from scratch.
The TruGolf acquisition looms large TruGolf Holdings, a Nasdaq-listed company, announced on August 17 that it would acquire Polymath in an all-share deal. Once complete, the transaction would effectively transform a golf simulation technology company into a publicly traded tokenization platform.
Once Polymath operates under a public-market umbrella, its custody relationships become visible to a broader investor base. Institutional clients evaluating whether to tokenize securities on Polymesh can look at the public filings, the audited financials, and the regulatory disclosures that come with being Nasdaq-listed.
Why custody is the bottleneck for tokenized securities Under US securities law, investment advisers managing client assets generally need to hold those assets with a qualified custodian. If tokenized securities don’t have custodians willing to hold them, the entire institutional adoption thesis stalls at the first compliance checkpoint.
The yield component of the partnership is worth watching. Client-directed trading is a standard custodial service. But offering yield opportunities on tokenized securities introduces additional complexity, both technically and from a regulatory perspective.

GMX 14. září 2026 vypne syntetické kontrakty v2.2b a integrátoři musí přejít na v2.2c, jinak jejich systémy přestanou fungovat. Nové kontrakty už běží na Arbitrum, Avalanche a MegaETH.
GMX is pulling the plug on its v2.2b synthetics contracts on September 14, 2026, completing a migration cycle that began with an earlier deprecation timeline announced on August 17. Anyone building on top of GMX’s infrastructure, whether through direct contract calls or third-party integrations, needs to move to v2.2c or risk their systems going dark.
The newer contracts are already live on Arbitrum, Avalanche, and MegaETH. For regular users interacting through the official GMX interface, nothing should break. The protocol’s keepers and front-end app have historically handled these transitions without visible disruption. But for the developers and protocols that plug directly into GMX’s smart contract layer, the clock is ticking.
Advertisement
What’s actually changing in v2.2c The v2.2c contracts introduce expanded invariant checks and role-management protections. Funding mechanisms have been updated, oracle validations refined, and collateral caps adjusted.
For integrators specifically, the migration involves more than flipping a switch. New ExchangeRouter, Reader, and SimulationRouter addresses need to be plugged in. ABIs have changed. Various struct definitions have been modified. Anyone who built custom tooling around v2.2b’s specific contract interfaces will need to audit and update their code.
The migration mechanics GMX has published deployment addresses and comprehensive changelogs on its GitHub repository. The protocol first flagged the v2.2b deprecation timeline on August 17, 2026, giving integrators roughly a month to prepare.
One nuance worth noting is the three-chain deployment across Arbitrum, Avalanche, and MegaETH. Each chain has its own set of contract addresses, meaning integrators operating across multiple networks need to update their configurations for each one independently. A missed address on one chain could mean partial functionality loss even if the other two are correctly configured.
The September 14 deadline is firm. Integrators who haven’t started their migration should probably clear their calendars, because v2.2b contracts won’t be sending back friendly error messages once they’re disabled. They simply won’t work.

Hyperliquid místo schvalování pořádá každých 31 hodin nizozemskou aukci o právo zalistovat spotový token. Vítěz získá zalistování i order book a zaplacené HYPE se spálí.
Hyperliquid has taken a notably different approach to token listings. There is no committee, no back-channel negotiation, and no opaque approval process. Instead, the protocol runs a continuous Dutch auction every 31 hours, and whoever is willing to pay wins the right to deploy a spot token.
How the auction works The mechanism, governed by the HIP-1 standard, is straightforward.
What winning, and losing, the auction means Winning the auction is what grants a token a front-end listing and an order book on Hyperliquid. A token can exist on HyperEVM without going through the auction process, but it will not appear on the platform's interface or have a tradeable market. Per @HyperliquidX's documentation,
The HYPE paid in winning auctions is burned, permanently removing it from circulation.
The result is a self-correcting price discovery system: heavy demand pushes the next auction's starting price up, while weak demand pulls it back to the floor.
Coinbase vrátila aplikaci Base App název Coinbase Wallet a směřuje ji zpět k obchodování. Nově směruje uživatele na Hyperliquid pro perpetual futures, prediction markets a tokenizované akcie.
Coinbase has restored the Coinbase Wallet name to the platform it renamed Base App in July 2025, ending a one-year attempt to turn a crypto wallet into a social network.
The app now points at leveraged bets, prediction markets and tokenized shares across more than 10 blockchain networks.
The rename closes a pivot that began much earlier. BeInCrypto reported the trading-first pivot in January, eight months before the branding caught up.
Base is Coinbase’s own blockchain network, launched in 2023. The 2025 rename put that network’s name on the consumer app, alongside a feed, messaging and mini apps.
Base creator Jesse Pollak handed the app back to Coinbase in July and called his on-chain social bet a failure.
lots of conversations about base over the last week. wanted to share my candid take after a week of listening and a lot of reflection over the last 6 months.
first off – in case it’s not obvious, the first quarter of 2026 was a punch in the face. I spent 2024 and 2025 making a…
— jesse.base.eth (@jessepollak) July 15, 2026 Chief executive Brian Armstrong had already called time on creator coins. Those tokens let fans buy a stake in a post or a personality.
Most spiked on attention, then collapsed. BeInCrypto counted four Base experiments that flopped before Armstrong pulled the plug. They were:
Zora Creator coins Team-backed tokens The social-first Base App “We messed up, time to turn the page,” Armstrong said at the time.
What Traders Will Actually NoticeCoinbase Wallet now routes users to Hyperliquid for perpetual futures. Those are contracts that let traders bet on price using borrowed money, with no expiry date.
We've returned to our roots: trading.
Coinbase Wallet will be the fastest way to trade everything onchain. From tokenized stocks and memes, to perps and predictions.
If it's onchain, it's on Coinbase Wallet.
— Coinbase Wallet (@coinbasewallet) September 10, 2026 It also carries prediction markets and tokenized stocks, which are shares tracked on a blockchain instead of at a broker. Robinhood Chain and Monad join the supported networks.
Robinhood Chain already ranks among the leading tokenized stock venues, according to Grayscale. Coinbase says the wallet will test products its main exchange cannot list first.
Perpetual futures remain closed to United States users, a limit Washington is now weighing for Hyperliquid.
Coinbase has not published a fee schedule for the wallet. It has also not said whether the trading push grew user numbers.
Coinbase web pages still showed Base App branding on Thursday, hours after the name was said to have changed. Traders who only swap tokens will notice a new icon and little else. Those reaching for leverage will notice the wall.
XRP Ledger míří na upgrade v3.4.0, který má přidat Lending Protocol v1.1 a posílit funkce DeFi. Aktivace ale závisí na 80% konsensu v hlasování validátorů.
The XRP Ledger is on a path to another major software upgrade as the network looks forward to an upcoming release of its Lending Protocol: XRPL 3.4.0. To further bolster the network’s Decentralized Finance (DeFi) capabilities, Lending Protocol v1.1 will be included in the upcoming release, marking another significant addition to the XRPL ecosystem.
XRP Ledger Lending Amendment Nears Launch XRPL dUNL validator Vet also has pointed out the upgrade, stating that the new version will enhance “important aspects” of Lending Protocol v1.0. This is in line with the ongoing validator voting process for the current Lending Protocol amendment.This is as the current Lending Protocol amendment proceeds through the Validator voting process.
According to the XRP Ledger amendment tracker, the Lending Protocol amendment is currently open for voting with 31.43% of the tokens cast. The change aims to allow for uncollateralized lending on the blockchain in fixed terms, with pooled funds from a Single Asset Vault.
The system leverages off-chain underwriting and risk management to assess borrowers and support customisable p-to-p loans. It comes under the XLS-66 specification.
The other LendingProtocolV1_1 contract is in “In Development” status. The revision adds enhancements and fixes to the original protocol such as MemoData field added to VaultDelete transaction.
The XRP Ledger Lending protocol will receive v1.1 update in XRPL 3.4.0 next week.
It improves on important aspects of Lending v1.0 and has to come together with v1.1 .
Join us for this X space with Ayo, Jazzi, Vito and Denis!
Lending and single asset vault will see regular… https://t.co/SE4XsZhpF7
— Vet (@Vet_X0) September 10, 2026
Hence, it is a significant release for developers following the XRP Ledger lending ecosystem. But, the current voting percentage doesn’t guarantee activation unless 80% consensus is reached.
The Ripple-backed XRP Ledger Lending Protocol and Single Asset Vault will keep on upgrading, Vet said. Moreover, he described these amendments as a “dynamic feature protocol that gains functionalities over time.”
XRPL 3.4.0 Advances Through Beta After the XRPL v3.3.0 release, the iconic XRP Ledger 3.4.0 development cycle has already made it to a first-beta milestone. For context, XRPLF has made develop branch 3.4.0-b1 on August 24, following merging of PR #8102.
The bump itself was a version of the software from 3.4.0-b0 to 3.4.0-b1. It did not create a new transaction type, amendment definition, RPC method or ledger rule.
This is noteworthy since 3.4.0-b1 is not a stable public release or proof of a Mainnet activation.
Meanwhile, XRPL Operations is hosting an X Space focused on the Lending Protocol on September 11 at 1 p.m. EST. XRPL Foundation CTO Angell Denis, RippleX executives Ayo Akinyele and Jazzi Cooper, and RippleX engineer Vito Tumas are among the scheduled participants.
With the XRP Ledger Lending Protocol’s transition to next phase of development, the discussion will cover why it matters, what’s new and what it unlocks.

Aerie Capital spouští na síti Ethereum úvěrový trh pro držitele Plume Vaults a Nest, kteří mohou své RWA výnosové pozice použít jako kolaterál pro půjčky ve stablecoinech. Umožní to také přesun likvidity a kolaterálu z Plume na Ethereum.
Aerie Capital, curator of Plume Vaults, is launching a lending market on Ethereum mainnet, allowing holders of Plume Vaults or Nest to use their RWA yield positions as collateral to borrow stablecoins and unlock liquidity without leaving Ethereum.
Aerie is a newly launched curator built to address a growing need in decentralized lending: a specialized curator with product-specific expertise for new asset types.Its mandate is simple: set the standard for Open Finance by bringing institutional investment strategies into transparent, composable onchain markets.
The Ethereum mainnet launch is the next step in that vision.
Expanding Onchain Yield OpportunitiesPlume Vaults are designed to make institutional assets accessible and usable across the broader onchain economy. With Plume Vaults now available on Ethereum through a dedicated Morpho market, users can borrow against these assets and execute looping strategies for the first time directly on mainnet, through one of DeFi’s most established lending environments.
Move Your Assets to EthereumFor existing Plume Vault or Nest users, the Ethereum mainnet vaults provide a new home for capital and collateral. Incentives will also be migrating over from the Plume chain.
Liquidity providers in the current Morpho vaults on Plume mainnet can move their liquidity to the corresponding Ethereum mainnet vaults, while borrowers using nALPHA and nOPAL can migrate their collateral to Ethereum mainnet and continue accessing DeFi opportunities there.
Move your liquidity or collateral from Plume to Ethereum here. Start putting your nALPHA, nOPAL, nBASIS, and nFALCON assets to work across Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem.
Mesh vydal jednotné SDK pro peněženky ADA a BTC, které vývojářům umožňuje vytvářet aplikace napříč Cardanem i Bitcoinem. Projekt byl financován v rámci Catalyst Fund 14 a jeho rozpočet činil 100 000 ADA; dosud z něj bylo uvolněno 76 000 ADA.
@meshsdk has shipped a combined $ADA and $BTC wallet SDK, giving developers a unified interface for building across both the Cardano and Bitcoin networks. The release, funded through Cardano's community grant programme Project Catalyst, marks a meaningful step in cross-chain developer tooling from one of the ecosystem's most active open-source teams.
What the SDK Includes The new wallet extension builds on that foundation by adding Bitcoin support through a single developer interface. The package includes headless wallets, Bitcoin primitives for address and script handling that mirror those already familiar to Cardano developers, and full support for transaction and data signing across both chains. All code is released under the Apache 2.0 licence, with documentation published publicly.
On the Cardano side,
Catalyst Fund 14 Funding and Milestones The work sits under Mesh's Catalyst Fund 14 proposal, budgeted at 100,000 ADA. Four of the five milestones have received approved proof of achievement, with the fifth currently awaiting closeout. A total of 76,000 ADA has been released to date.
For developers already working with Mesh on Cardano, the Bitcoin extension lowers the cost of building multi-chain applications considerably, removing the need to maintain separate toolchains for each network.

AlphaGrowth spustila Cardano PRIME, program s cílem vytvořit z každého 1 USD grantu 50 USD v udržitelném TVL na Cardanu. ADA mezitím obchoduje za 0,2091 USD, za posledních 24 hodin klesla o 1,32 %.
Cardano’s decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem is drawing new attention with the launch of Cardano PRIME, a program spearheaded by AlphaGrowth to stimulate network development and liquidity. As of today, the ADA token trades at $0.2091, reflecting a 1.32% decline over the last 24 hours.
AlphaGrowth’s Cardano PRIME InitiativeAlphaGrowth, a company focused on fostering blockchain ecosystem growth, has opened submissions for Cardano PRIME. This program aims to identify gaps in Cardano’s DeFi infrastructure and incentivize teams to create the missing infrastructure and products that can attract both capital and activity to the network.
According to AlphaGrowth, “the goal is for every $1 of grant funding to support $50 of sustained TVL on Cardano.” This explicit target shifts the focus from growing the sheer number of projects to ensuring those projects deliver tangible, ongoing value within the network.
AlphaGrowth has indicated that its mission is to fill crucial holes in Cardano’s DeFi ecosystem by rewarding developers and teams capable of bolstering liquidity, user activity, and lasting growth for the network.
Cardanians, a Cardano-focused community, emphasized the importance of this initiative on X, describing it as an opportunity for experienced developers to make a significant impact on the direction of Cardano’s DeFi sector.
The long-term success of Cardano PRIME will likely depend on whether the projects supported with grants can drive real user engagement and liquidity inflows, turning funding into sustained on-chain activity.
Mini dictionary: AlphaGrowth, a blockchain accelerator and advisory firm, works with blockchain ecosystems to design growth strategies and launch support programs for projects building on networks like Cardano.
Technical Levels and Network MetricsTradingView data shows that ADA is currently below its 50-day moving average of $0.2177, while the 200-day moving average sits at $0.1939. This positions ADA between two crucial technical thresholds: reclaiming $0.2177 would help confirm bullish momentum, whereas dropping toward or under $0.1939 would signal a more defensive outlook for the token.
Technical IndicatorCurrent ValuePrice$0.209150-day Moving Average$0.2177200-day Moving Average$0.1939RSI52.07RSI Moving Avg55.20Total Value Locked (TVL)~$60 millionThe Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 52.07 versus a moving average of 55.20, keeping ADA’s momentum in a neutral range. The RSI below its moving average suggests buyers have yet to establish strong short-term momentum.
SoSoValue reports Cardano’s total value locked at around $60 million, though this metric has seen fluctuations recently. The same dashboard also monitors active addresses and transaction counts, indicating broader activity trends on the network.
Derivatives Data and Market DynamicsCoinglass data shows Cardano’s open interest at approximately $440 million, down from a recent high of $580 million in August. This indicates that a significant volume of derivative trades remains open, adding to short-term price sensitivity. Moves above $0.2177 or below $0.1939 could trigger stronger reactions from traders as these key levels come into play.
Liquidity and sustained on-chain activity remain the decisive measures for Cardano’s DeFi growth, making AlphaGrowth’s targeted approach to ecosystem development particularly relevant at this stage.
Assessing the Broader ImpactAlphaGrowth’s Cardano PRIME is seen as a step toward strengthening the broader ecosystem by focusing on infrastructure and products directly linked to network liquidity and activity, rather than project quantity alone. The initiative’s $1-for-$50 TVL target means that any measurable impact will be judged by on-chain growth, not just developer engagement or marketing efforts.
If projects funded by Cardano PRIME successfully increase TVL and active participation, the underlying network fundamentals could improve, offering ADA holders and potential investors stronger reasons to take interest in Cardano. Until then, most traders appear cautious, with technical data pointing to a neutral stance and derivative activity sustaining volatility.
For now, the technical focus is on whether ADA can reclaim its 50-day average at $0.2177 for positive momentum, or whether continued weakness could lead to losses below the 200-day mark at $0.1939. AlphaGrowth’s progress in turning its funding strategy into active projects will determine the longer-term impact for Cardano’s DeFi future.
Olga Kharif****_ _explains why the privacy token Zcash is outperforming its major rivals, and even outpacing market bellwether Bitcoin_. _
Privacy Boom
One of the oldest “better versions” of Bitcoin is having its moment in the sun. Again.
Initially billed nearly a decade ago as a new variant of the original cryptocurrency — but with more privacy protections built in — Zcash is benefitting from a confluence of events to make it the best-performing major token in a year where most are nursing deep losses.
The groundswell in demand actually began last year, as regulators from the European Union to India cracked down on so-called privacy coins. Unlike rivals like Monero that enforce mandatory anonymity, Zcash offers optional so-called shielded addresses for users, allowing for a level of scrutiny amid growing political unease and worries about AI and privacy.
“Privacy is a very big deal and coming more into focus now than it has in recent years,” said Noelle Acheson, who writes the “Crypto is Macro Now” newsletter. “Zcash is one of the old timers. It’s one of the oldest and it’s still going, and it has a longevity that gives it a certain cachet.”
The move is more than prestige. Zcash is outperforming Bitcoin by the most ever after a yeas of stagnation — rallying more than 120% alone this year — and giving crypto speculators the kind of parabolic boost they crave. At the same time, market behemoth Bitcoin is still down around 12% after struggling to retrace the all-time highs reached last October.
Many market observers credit angel investor and early Zcash backer Naval Ravikant for helping to kick off the rally late last year just as Bitcoin was climbing to a record, by saying in a tweet that “Bitcoin is insurance against fiat. Zcash is insurance against Bitcoin.” Meanwhile, the billionaire Winklevoss twins backed Cypherpunk Technologies, which is accumulating and mining Zcash, which Tyler Winklevoss calls “encrypted Bitcoin.”
“Zcash was a forgotten-about asset — for five-, six-years, the entire market forgot it existed,” said Kyle Samani, a long-time crypto investor and chairman of the digital-asset treasury firm Forward Industries Inc. “It’s an interesting meme, it resonated with a lot of people: Bitcoin but private. And if you don’t think through all the issues, you might think it’s spectacular.”
Samani points out that most people don’t, in fact, use Zcash’s shielded address feature to mask transactions and balances. The token hasn’t been without flaws. In June, a security researcher uncovered a critical vulnerability in Zcash — and the coin’s price tumbled around 50% before investors piled back in.
At the same time, the changing nature of crypto mining has helped to fuel the explosive price rise. While many traditional miners have shifted to providing computing services to AI companies, some have deployed new hardware to mine Zcash. Instead of unloading newly minted tokens, some large miners have been hoarding supply to get in on the price appreciation. That has contributed to a tug-of-war among advocates and naysayers that resulted in a short squeeze.
Then there is the unique set of rewards and incentives that often come with crypto investing. ZCAT, a popular Solana memecoin, has been distributing rewards to larger holders in the form of Zcash, boosting the token as well.
Among the biggest beneficiaries of all this have been investors in a Zcash exchange-traded fund launched in August by Grayscale. The ETF is the first US one dedicated to Zcash, giving investors the opportunity to get in on the trade through ordinary brokerage accounts.
Whether the rally proves to be sustainable or just more market jockeying until long-time crypto investors — often referred to as OGs, or original gangsters —rotate back into Bitcoin in the next bull market remains to be seen.
“Over the last year there has been meaningful selling of Bitcoin from OGs, who believe BTC is no longer ‘their Bitcoin’ as it has become institutionalized,” said Cosmo Jiang of Pantera Capital, who was an early investor in the creator of the Zcash. “To a small extent, some of them have begun rotating a fraction of that into ZEC based on color commentary from digital-asset trading desks.”
Charting it out
Donald Trump’s pledge to center Bitcoin mining activity in the US is disintegrating due to the artificial-intelligence boom and a crypto slump. Miners are using 18% less compute power today than in October last year, with the market’s center of gravity shifting away from the US toward China and Russia.
Counting it out
The $320 million hack of the Bitcoin-linked Liquid Network is another dent to crypto’s reputation as the industry tries to convince banks and institutional investors that digital assets can become part of mainstream financial infrastructure.

Algorand jmenoval Williama Herkelratha novým CEO a nahradil Staci Warden, která po téměř pěti letech odchází. Síť se pod jeho vedením zaměří na institucionální adopci a postkvantovou odolnost.
Algorand Foundation U.S. Inc announced on Sept. 9 that William Herkelrath has been appointed chief executive officer of Algorand, succeeding Staci Warden, who is stepping down after nearly five years leading the layer-1 network. Herkelrath, who officially assumed the role on Aug. 31, joins as the network sharpens its focus on institutional adoption and post-quantum resilience, according to an announcement the foundation published.
From Chainlink and Curv to the corner office Herkelrath brings roughly two decades of experience across artificial intelligence, enterprise software, institutional finance and blockchain infrastructure. He most recently co-founded K3 Labs, an AI-first automation platform for building and running AI agent-managed workflows, and previously held leadership roles at Chainlink and Curv. “I joined Algorand because they are a leader in decentralized post-quantum cryptography,” Herkelrath said. “With both AI and quantum threats on the horizon, Algorand has a unique opportunity to become a trusted partner in bringing verifiable and trusted security to a wide variety of institutions.”
Board reshuffle and a post-quantum bet Alongside the leadership transition, Algorand announced changes to its board of directors. Herkelrath and Alex Fowler, chief strategy officer at Nexus Laboratories, are joining the board, while Rebecca Rettig and Michael Mosier are departing. The appointment arrives as Google’s Quantum AI paper cited the network more than 30 times as a key innovator, post-quantum accounts are already live, and the network has pioneered the use of verifiable random functions backed by a large ephemeral validator set.
A broader institutional push Warden framed the handoff as the culmination of the foundation’s work proving what a public blockchain can do for real-world finance. “Leading the Algorand Foundation has been one of the great privileges of my career,” Warden said. “William brings the vision and experience to lead Algorand through its next chapter.” The change keeps Algorand’s existing leadership team in place and extends a push into institutional finance that has already seen the network partner with Microsoft and CDP Venture Capital’s Frontech accelerator, as it positions itself for the next generation of digital assets and cybersecurity infrastructure. The network’s ecosystem spans startups, developers, governments and global partners building real-world financial and digital-asset tools, a base the foundation expects to expand under the new leadership.

Polkadot hlasuje o referendu 1944, které má z treasury vyčlenit 5 milionů USD na spuštění nativního stablecoinu dotUSD. Polovina má jít na ražbu a polovina na likviditu.
Polkadot is considering a significant step toward financial innovation on its network, as the blockchain’s governance community votes on a proposal to introduce a native stablecoin called dotUSD. The initiative, known as Referendum 1944, asks DOT holders to decide whether to allocate $5 million from the Polkadot treasury to launch and support the dollar-pegged asset.
Details of the dotUSD ProposalThe dotUSD stablecoin plan centers on providing Polkadot users with a protocol-native, dollar-denominated stable asset. Organizers propose an initial treasury allocation of $5 million, with $2.5 million earmarked for minting the first batch of dotUSD tokens and another $2.5 million devoted to supplying trading liquidity. This would enable immediate swaps between DOT and dotUSD through dedicated pools on the Polkadot Asset Hub.
Proponents of the plan, who organized the proposal via the Polkadot Community Foundation (PCF), emphasize their exclusive role as facilitators. They delivered the proposal to the OpenGov governance system for a community vote, underscoring that all key decisions would remain in the hands of DOT token holders.
If adopted, users could transact with dotUSD while bypassing third-party liquidity providers. This approach aims to streamline access to stable value within the Polkadot ecosystem, enhancing utility for payments, trading, and decentralized finance applications.
A referendum introducing dotUSD, a protocol-native stablecoin for Polkadot, has gone live within DOT DAO governance, drafted by community members spanning the Polkadot ecosystem, with the PCF submitting it to OpenGov purely for community decision-making.
Technically, dotUSD would launch with a capped supply and be backed by existing stablecoins, enabled by a Peg Stability Module responsible for minting controls and management rules. The plan is for users to mint and redeem dotUSD within an asset-backed structure, without direct reliance on DOT collateral in the first phase.
Funding Structure and Potential Market ImpactInitial liquidity from the treasury would support a trading pool allowing instant conversions between DOT and dotUSD. This structure is designed to foster robust on-chain liquidity, making it easier for users to access and utilize the new stablecoin for a range of transactions across the network.
Importantly, the proposed Peg Stability Module would enforce supply constraints at launch, with all dotUSD issuance backed by reserves of established stablecoins rather than DOT itself. This addresses initial volatility and risk concerns often associated with native-asset collateralization.
As blockchain finance evolves, monitoring the balance between collateral use and market risk is crucial. While traditional markets rely on complex brokers, a massive shift is happening: Wall Street is moving to Web3. Investors are now using platforms like 1stepSwap to hold shares of major U.S. companies, gold, and silver directly in their crypto wallets. By tokenizing Real-World Assets (RWAs) and automatically finding the best market prices in seconds, it completely removes the middlemen.
Future Role for DOT and Next StepsA future phase of the proposal contemplates introducing DOT-collateralized vaults, potentially allowing users to lock DOT to mint new dotUSD. This system would require further technical development and governance approval. If implemented, it could integrate price oracles, stabilization pools, and liquidation mechanisms, intended to protect the stablecoin’s value under variable market conditions.
Longer term, developers envision a model where DOT could play a central role as collateral, but maintain that a careful staged rollout is essential due to asset price volatility and the need for robust supporting infrastructure.
While backing with DOT offers potential for autonomy, it also introduces exposure to the token’s price swings. For now, the plan focuses on stability and broad adoption, with the governance system retaining power to adjust mechanisms over time.
If the referendum passes, Polkadot will move forward with treasury funding and implementation of the first stablecoin features. Ultimately, DOT holders hold the final decision on whether dotUSD becomes the ecosystem’s native dollar-based asset and whether further expansion, such as direct DOT collateralization, will be pursued.
Internet Computer zavedl vetKeys, které smart kontraktům umožňují vydávat šifrovací klíče, jež samy nemohou číst. Klíč se nikdy neukládá a vzniká až na vyžádání.
A new approach to onchain privacyBlockchains are transparent by design, which is ideal for auditability but creates a real problem for applications that require confidentiality. @dfinity has been working on that tradeoff for years, and its answer is now live in production: a feature called vetKeys, short for Verifiable Encrypted Threshold Keys.
The mechanism works at the subnet level. When a canister requests a key, no single node handles the job alone. A quorum of those encrypted shares is then combined, so neither the nodes nor the canister ever holds the raw key in the clear. Users can also verify that the key came out of the protocol correctly and was not tampered with.
Crucially, the key is never stored anywhere. It is rebuilt on demand from the same inputs every time, which means a user who signs in on a new device will receive the same key back without having to remember a password or carry a seed phrase.
Live on mainnet since July 2025 Access control is handled entirely in application logic, not at the cryptographic layer. The app decides who may request a key through its own code, and each key request costs the canister a small fee in cycles.

BitGo nově umožňuje vybraným klientům obchodovat přes WalletConnect Hyperliquid perpetuals ze stávajících self-custody hot wallet. Po aktivaci mohou bez nové peněženky zadávat, upravovat i zavírat objednávky.
BitGo clients can now access Hyperliquid perpetuals through existing self-custody hot wallets after a one-time activation, the company said in a Sept. 10 statement.
The capability allows eligible clients to connect their wallets to Hyperliquid through WalletConnect and manage perpetual positions without setting up a new wallet or approving each trading action through BitGo.

Once activated, clients can place, modify and close orders without providing a new BitGo wallet signature or making a separate onchain gas payment for each order, the team stated. BitGo’s existing approval requirements remain in place for deposits and withdrawals that require wallet transactions, including any multi-user approvals configured by the client.
The capability establishes a permissioned connection between BitGo and Hyperliquid without exposing private keys, according to the company. BitGo said the integration forms part of its effort to provide institutional digital asset infrastructure across networks and onchain applications.
Access is limited to eligible clients and is unavailable in jurisdictions including the US, UK and Canada where leveraged digital asset derivatives are restricted.

trade[XYZ] spustil na Hyperliquidu přes HIP-4 nové trhy s výsledky pro finance, sporty i politiku v jednom účtu. První nabídka zahrnuje Up/Down kontrakty na akcie, komodity a firmy před IPO.
trade[XYZ] launches Events on Hyperliquid via HIP-4, bringing outcome markets for finance, sports, politics, and more into one unified account.
Leading HIP-3 deployer, trade[XYZ], officially launched Events, its HIP-4 deployment on Hyperliquid, expanding beyond its offerings from only equity perpetuals into "outcome" contracts too, equivalent to prediction markets.
What’s the Scoop?Events Go Live: The first markets include Up/Down contracts on equities, commodities, and pre-IPO companies, alongside sports markets like picking the winner of a US Open match.HIP-3 Becomes the Resolution Layer: For its initial financial markets, trade[XYZ] is using the prices from its existing HIP-3 perpetual markets to resolve its HIP-4 contracts, rather than relying on a separate external resolution oracle. That means a market on whether SK Hynix finishes above a certain price, for example, can settle against the continuously traded XYZ SK Hynix perp.Toward the Universal Exchange: The bigger idea is to combine Hyperliquid’s growing set of primitives under one roof. As trade[XYZ] puts it, a user could eventually deposit spot BTC, borrow USDC through portfolio margin, trade a pre-IPO SpaceX perp, hedge an SK Hynix earnings event, and bet on a US Open winner from the same account. Hyperliquid’s portfolio margin already unifies spot and perp collateral, while HIP-4 adds outcome markets to that stack.Introducing Events by trade[XYZ].
With Events, we’re advancing our vision of Hyperliquid as the universal exchange—a single, composable system for trading financial assets and real-world outcomes.
A user can deposit spot BTC, borrow USDC through portfolio margin, open a pre-ipo…

Kraken spustil token kHYPE navázaný na Hyperliquid v poměru 1:1, který lze použít jako kolaterál na Ink. Velryba 0x8e48 zároveň zamkla všech 1,89 milionu HYPE v hodnotě asi 159 milionů USD.
Kraken created a new Hyperliquid-backed token, kHYPE. The creation of KHYPE creates a direct link for users of Hyperliquid [HYPE] to use as collateral in decentralized financial transactions (DeFi) on the platform Ink.
Each kHYPE has the same value as a 1:1 ratio to HYPE, which is being kept in segregated accounts. This eliminates the possibility of an uncollateralized token issuance.
In addition, users are capable of verifying that each mint of kHYPE will remain fully collateralized through publicly verifiable reserve reporting.
Furthermore, since there is no fee associated with redeeming kHYPE, users may be encouraged to move their assets back and forth between Kraken and Ink. Therefore, this will further expand the liquidity existing outside the central marketplace.
Source: X However, once kHYPE has been redeemed, kHYPE cannot be utilized again for generating additional Kraken staking rewards. In turn, users are going to need to decide whether they want to earn income or create some type of DeFi-based utility with their holdings.
In that case, an increase in supply, holders, and transfers represents true adoptions of Kraken compared to short-term launch hype.
Still, growth in the total amount of Kraken-linked stakes will show if the integration leads to greater involvement by Hyperliquid in its broader ecosystem.
Whale locks up 1.89M HYPE Beyond Kraken’s larger hype support, whale 0x8e48 shows large investor conviction. The whale purchased an additional 116,427 HYPE tokens for approximately $9.91 million before transferring all the funds to staking.
This brings the total held HYPE tokens in 0x8e48’s wallets to 1.89 million HYPE tokens worth about $159 million at roughly $84 per token in 8 months.
Source: X Furthermore, by staking all the HYPE tokens, 0x8e48 effectively removed them from availability on the open market.
If demand were to increase in the future, there would be less supply of available tokens and potentially greater opportunities for upward movement in price. Still, despite that, a single account cannot influence the market.
If the account were to unstake some or all of its tokens, that would indicate that the long-term confidence that 0x8e48 has in Hype may be waning.
HYPE outflows challenge institutional demand While the whale kept adding HYPE, ETF flows showed whether regulated investors were following with similar demand too. The funds now hold $464.29 million in net assets.
Total inflows remain near $338 million, showing most ETF capital has stayed invested through recent price swings.
Source: SoSoValue Hence, this $5.29 million outflow, entirely from Bitwise’s BHYP fund, occurred after the late August HYPE rally. Simply, this indicates that some investors may have taken their profits near highs.
However, even though there was a sizeable amount of money withdrawn from the funds, they still maintain almost a historical high level of capital. Therefore, it does not appear to be immediately concerning.
Final Summary Hyperliquid’s demand strengthened through kHYPE utility and a whale’s fully staked 1.89 million-token position. HYPE ETF assets remain near $464 million, although further outflows could weaken broader institutional demand.
Trump podpořil legální cestu, jak přivést Hyperliquid do USA pod federálními pravidly. CFTC má podle něj pracovat na řešení v plném souladu se zákonem.
President Donald Trump has publicly backed efforts to bring Hyperliquid, a fast-growing offshore cryptocurrency trading venue, into the United States under federal rules.
Speaking at a White House gathering of crypto, technology, and finance executives on August 19, 2026, Trump said Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Michael Selig is working to accomplish that goal “in a fully compliant and legal fashion,” adding that officials are “working very hard on that.”
The remark immediately drew attention because Hyperliquid has become one of the most active on-chain platforms for perpetual futures, contracts that let traders take leveraged bets on assets such as cryptocurrencies, commodities, and even private companies without a fixed expiration date.
The platform has generally blocked US users, leaving a large share of that activity outside American regulation.
Trump’s comment signaled that the administration wants at least some version of that market infrastructure brought onshore rather than left abroad.Hyperliquid’s rise has unsettled parts of traditional finance.
Incumbent derivatives exchanges have watched volume migrate to a non-custodial, always-on venue that does not operate under the same customer-protection and reporting rules that govern US futures markets.
At the same time, supporters argue that on-chain systems can settle trades faster, display positions more transparently, and attract global liquidity.
Trump’s statement placed the White House behind the idea that those features should be available to American participants only if they can be fitted into existing law.No approval has been announced.
Trump did not describe a specific structure, license, or timetable.
Officials have not said whether Hyperliquid itself would register as a US exchange, whether a separate domestic product would use its technology and liquidity, or whether access would come through an already regulated intermediary.
Later reporting noted that one possible path could involve a CFTC-registered platform offering selected perpetual products linked to Hyperliquid’s markets, rather than opening the existing offshore venue to US residents.
The political context matters.
The administration has pressed Congress to pass market-structure legislation that would clarify how digital assets are divided between the CFTC and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Trump used the same White House event to urge lawmakers to move a version of that bill, arguing that clearer rules would keep the United States competitive.
Selig has separately said the agency wants a lawful route for on-chain venues even if legislation stalls.
Markets treated the comment as a policy signal rather than a finished deal. Assets tied to the platform rose sharply in the hours after the remarks, while some traditional exchange stocks slipped.
That reaction reflected both optimism about future US access and uncertainty about how a non-custodial protocol would satisfy know-your-customer, surveillance, and customer-fund rules that apply to regulated derivatives markets.
The core issue is now practical.
Bringing a high-volume perpetual futures venue into the United States would require decisions about leverage limits, listing standards, bankruptcy treatment, and who is legally responsible when something goes wrong. Those questions will determine whether Trump’s stated preference becomes a limited partnership with existing US platforms or a broader rewrite of how on-chain trading is supervised.
World Liberty Financial získala od OCC předběžné podmíněné schválení pro bankovní svěřenský subjekt, který má vydávat a vykupovat stablecoin USD1. Jde ale jen o první regulační krok, spuštění závisí na konečném schválení.
In This Article What is the World Liberty Trust?Ownership and Custody Structure of World Liberty FinancialWhere Does the World Liberty Trust Bank Fit in the Stablecoin Landscape? World Liberty Financial, the crypto venture backed by the Trump family, said on Friday that its trust company received preliminary conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to become a bank.
Upon final approval, World Liberty Trust Company, National Association would operate as a federally chartered national trust bank, according to the company’s statement and the OCC’s decision letter.

The stakes are tied directly to USD1, World Liberty’s dollar-backed stablecoin, which has a market value of about $4Bn. The approval is preliminary and conditional, not authorization to begin operations.
The OCC said final approval depends on the company meeting all pre-opening requirements and that it may modify, suspend, or rescind the approval before granting final authorization.
What is the World Liberty Trust? The proposed charter is intentionally narrow. It would allow World Liberty Trust to issue and redeem USD1 and maintain reserves for the stablecoin in a nonfiduciary capacity.
It would also provide digital-asset custody services in a fiduciary capacity, primarily for USD1 customers and other institutional clients, according to the OCC’s Corporate Decision #1385.
The bank would additionally offer conversion services for custody customers. Under the proposal, those customers could submit approved stablecoins in exchange for USD1 using assets already held in custody. The conversion services would be limited to custody customers and to their custodied assets.
The proposed institution is a national trust bank, not a conventional deposit-taking or lending bank. The OCC described the proposal as involving trust-company operations and related activities, including fiduciary custody and nonfiduciary reserve maintenance.

Ownership and Custody Structure of World Liberty Financial The OCC decision states that the proposed bank would be a wholly owned subsidiary of WLTC Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.
The bank’s main office would be in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida. The filing states that World Liberty Financial LLC and the proposed bank share indirect common ownership.
USD1 launched last year, and BitGo currently custodies its reserves. The OCC decision says the proposed bank plans to assume the role of issuer and custodian from BitGo Bank & Trust, National Association, which it identifies as the current exclusive issuer and custodian for USD1.
After the bank is established, it intends to acquire and assume USD1 reserve assets and associated liabilities from BitGo. The OCC addressed that proposed acquisition and assumption as part of its review of the bank’s formation.

— CryptosRus (@CryptosR_Us) August 25, 2026
The OCC decision cites the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins, or GENIUS, Act. According to the decision, Congress expressly recognized uninsured national banks’ authority to issue stablecoins under that law.
The agency said payment-stablecoin issuance is permissible as a trust-company operation or an activity related to one. It also concluded that the proposed conversion services relate to the bank’s fiduciary custody activities.
For World Liberty Trust, the conditional approval marks an initial regulatory step rather than a completed launch. The OCC has said the bank cannot commence business until it satisfies all pre-opening requirements and receives final approval and authorization.

Výzkumníci s pomocí AI agentů snížili benchmark pro klíčový krok potenciálního kvantového útoku na Bitcoin o 86 % z 10,75 miliardy na 1,496 miliardy. Testy ale neprolomily privátní klíč.
In brief More than 100 participants working with AI agents reduced the challenge’s resource score from 10.75 billion to 1.496 billion. The leading circuit used 1,151 logical qubits and about 1.3 million Toffoli gates, though comparisons with Google’s results carry caveats. A later design brought the gate count below 1 million; the results exclude the hardware costs of a full attack. Researchers working with AI coding agents reduced a resource benchmark for a key step in a potential quantum attack on the cryptography protecting Bitcoin and Ethereum by 86%, according to a paper posted Wednesday.
In other words, they reduced the computing resources needed for uncovering a wallet’s private key, which could let an attacker steal its funds. When quantum computers powerful enough to carry out a full attack will arrive—a milestone known as “Q-Day”—remains uncertain.
Myriad: Bitcoin's next move? Click to make your prediction.“Although its timing remains uncertain, migration away from vulnerable cryptography is already under way,” the researchers wrote. “NIST has standardized post-quantum replacements, and the initial public draft of NIST IR 8547 proposes deprecating classical public-key algorithms at the 112-bit security level after 2030 and disallowing them after 2035.”
The findings came from ECDSA.Fail, an open competition launched by Eigen Labs in late May. More than 100 participants worked on circuits for secp256k1, the elliptic curve used to secure transaction signatures on Bitcoin and Ethereum. The paper’s authors include researchers affiliated with Theta Labs, MultiVM Labs, Eigen Labs, Trail of Bits, StarkWare, and the Ethereum Foundation.
Researchers designed and tested a quantum circuit that performs a calculation needed to crack Bitcoin’s cryptography, cutting its resource score by 86%. The tests verified the circuit’s calculations; they did not crack a Bitcoin private key.
The challenge measured how much quantum memory and computational work each circuit needed, multiplying its logical qubits by its Toffoli gates, a costly type of quantum operation invented by Tommaso Toffoli in 1980. A lower score means the calculation requires fewer combined resources, potentially making a future attack easier to carry out.
By July 26, participants had cut that score by 86%, from 10.75 billion to 1.496 billion. The leading design used 1,151 logical qubits and about 1.3 million Toffoli gates. According to the study, the score was roughly half of Google Quantum AI’s March benchmark, though differences in testing and counting methods prevent a direct comparison.
“Beyond the resulting circuits, ECDSA.Fail provides a case study of Open Autoresearch: a verifier-gated research process in which human participants and AI agents iteratively generate, implement, test, and share candidate improvements against a common measurable objective,” the researchers wrote.
The report is a part of growing efforts by crypto companies to invest in research to defend against quantum attacks.
In July, Galaxy Digital committed up to $5 million to that work, while nine firms—including BlackRock, Coinbase, and Strategy—pledged a combined $15 million over three years for broader Bitcoin security research, including quantum defenses.

In XRP ETF news today, U.S.-listed XRP ETFs recorded approximately $12.29 million in net inflows during the September 9 session, according to SoSoValue data. That marked XRP’s second consecutive day in positive territory, following a $1.55 million inflow on September 8 when XRP was the only major spot crypto ETF category, among five compared, to close in the green. Bitcoin ETFs, meanwhile, extended their losing streak, recording $120 million in outflows on September 9 after already losing roughly $46.65 million the day before.
The two-day lead is real, but it remains thin. XRP’s September 9 inflow was roughly 10 times smaller than Bitcoin’s same-day outflow.

Bitcoin ETFs lost $120 million on September 9, snapping a run of three consecutive positive sessions that had itself followed the September 8 outflow. Ethereum ETFs recorded $34.75 million in inflows on September 9, and Solana products added $11.73 million: a reversal from September 8, when both Ethereum and Solana posted outflows of $24.29 million and $667,720 respectively, alongside a $12.96 million withdrawal from Hyperliquid-linked products.
Notably, the entire $12.29 million XRP figure on September 9 came through the Bitwise and Grayscale ETFs. That concentration is worth tracking, since recent multi-day inflow streaks across XRP, ETH and SOL ETFs had shown a more even distribution of demand just weeks earlier.
DISCOVER: Meme coin supercycle: Top performers this week
Why Two Green Days Still Don’t Change the Broader Picture The five spot XRP ETFs collectively manage approximately $1.51 billion in assets, with cumulative net inflows approaching $1.69 billion since launch. The combined $13.84 million added across September 8 and 9 represents less than 1% of that cumulative total.
Bitcoin ETFs, by contrast, have accumulated nearly $55.59 billion in net inflows: about 33 times the XRP total. The gap holds up weekly too: in the week ending September 4, Bitcoin ETFs collected $986.9 million while XRP funds added just under $19 million over the same stretch.
Across two sessions, XRP outranks the field. On cumulative and weekly flows, it isn’t close.
XRP News: Price Stalls Despite Two ETF Green Days Based on the latest XRP news, Ripple trades at $1.3684, down 4.7% in the last 24 hours, cooling off after a sharp early-September spike toward $1.65. Price has since pulled back toward the $1.26 support zone, reflecting fading momentum after the rally. The broader structure remains well below 2025’s highs near $3.60, keeping the recovery tentative.
XRP’s price action sits against its own technical backdrop, independent of whatever the ETF tape shows on any given day. Two sessions of inflows are not confirmation of a driver. Sustained demand would need several more consecutive positive days for XRP ETFs while Bitcoin and Ethereum funds remain under pressure, a bar this two-day stretch hasn’t yet cleared.

Ripple has burned 15 million Ripple USD (RLUSD) tokens, according to a Sept. 10 announcement.
Blockchain data shows that 15 million RLUSD, worth roughly $15 million, was transferred from the RLUSD Treasury to the Ethereum null address. The transaction was successfully confirmed on Ethereum earlier on Thursday.
Other recent moves There has been a flurry of large minting and redemption transactions involving Ripple’s stablecoin treasury.

On Sept. 8, the Ripple Stablecoin Tracker spotted another 10 million RLUSD burn. This was followed shortly afterward by the minting of approximately 14.39 million RLUSD.
A day earlier, on Sept. 7, another 18 million RLUSD was minted on Ethereum. Ripple had also minted 20 million RLUSD on Sept. 4 and 16 million RLUSD on Sept. 3.

At this rate, RLUSD could be on track to surpass PayPal USD (PYUSD) in the near future.
RLUSD has also picked up several institutional use cases. In August, for instance, Ripple backed an institutional credit fund being developed with Clearpool and Cicada Partners.

TLDR XRP ETFs attracted $12.29 million, extending their positive inflow trend. Bitwise led XRP fund inflows with $9.30 million, while Grayscale added $2.98 million. XRP ETFs recorded about $185 million in net inflows over 30 days. Bitcoin ETFs posted $120.24 million in outflows for a second straight session. ARKB recorded the largest Bitcoin ETF withdrawal at $77.98 million. XRP ETFs extended their run of positive flows on Wednesday as investors added $12.29 million to US-listed products. The inflows came while Bitcoin ETFs recorded a second straight day of withdrawals, showing a clear split across major crypto funds. XRP traded near $1.40 as total XRP ETF net assets ended the session at $1.51 billion. The contrast kept investor attention on capital flows across listed asset products during Wednesday trading.
XRP ETFs Extend Positive Inflow Streak Bitwise led XRP ETF inflows with $9.30 million, while Grayscale’s GXRP added $2.98 million. Total trading value reached $23.58 million during the session. Over the past 30 days, XRP ETFs have attracted about $185 million in net inflows.
The products have also shown steady demand during wider market weakness. The first US spot XRP ETF started trading on Nasdaq in November 2025 and drew $243 million on its first day. By mid-December, XRP ETFs had recorded 30 straight days of inflows, a streak Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse noted on X.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs posted $120.24 million in net outflows on Wednesday. Ark and 21Shares’ ARKB led losses with $77.98 million leaving the fund. Grayscale’s GBTC lost $27.22 million, while BlackRock’s IBIT saw $19.53 million in withdrawals.
Morgan Stanley’s MSBT was the only Bitcoin fund to finish positive, adding $4.49 million. Bitcoin ETFs generated $2.05 billion in trading value and closed with $99.33 billion in net assets. Bitcoin remained near a key level watched by institutional investors.
Ether and Solana Funds Attract Capital Spot Ether ETFs recorded $34.75 million in net inflows. BlackRock’s ETHB led with $22.94 million, while ETHA added $9.71 million. The 21Shares TETH fund received another $2.10 million. No fund posted an outflow.
Ether ETF trading activity reached $852.09 million, while net assets finished at $15.69 billion. Solana ETFs also gained $11.73 million. Bitwise’s BSOL accounted for $11.18 million, and Morgan Stanley’s MSOL added about $558,150.
HYPE ETFs ended the session with $5.29 million in net outflows. All withdrawals came from Bitwise’s BHYP fund, making the product the only major crypto ETF group in the data to post a clear daily loss.
Trading activity for HYPE ETFs reached $31.08 million, while net assets closed at $464.29 million. The latest fund data showed XRP, Ether, and Solana ETFs attracting fresh capital as Bitcoin and HYPE products faced redemptions.
SGX získala schválení CFTC pro nabídku perpetual futures na Bitcoin a Ethereum přímo americkým institucionálním investorům. Produkty od listopadu 2025 nasbíraly objem 5,8 miliardy USD.
The Singapore Exchange (SGX) has received approval from the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to offer its Bitcoin and Ethereum perpetual futures directly to American institutional investors. This regulatory clearance falls under Regulation 48.10, which recognizes foreign exchanges and allows them to grant US market participants direct access to their order books without establishing a local US entity.
SGX connects US traders with Asian liquidity poolsSGX introduced its Bitcoin and Ether perpetual futures contracts in November 2025. Since their launch, these products have generated $5.8 billion in cumulative trading volume. With CFTC approval now secured, US clearing members are preparing to onboard clients, a process expected to unfold over the next one to two months.
Regulation 48.10 enables a registered Foreign Board of Trade like SGX to open access for US participants, expanding global liquidity and the breadth of institutional trading opportunity. SGX, qualified under this framework, now facilitates interaction between US institutional desks and Asia-based liquidity providers.
KC Lam, head of crypto derivatives at SGX Group, characterized the CFTC approval as a key step, stating it gives US institutions access to contracts previously unavailable to them. He emphasized that this connection not only bridges traditional finance with Asia’s crypto markets, but also supports the recognition of crypto derivatives as regulated financial instruments.
The CFTC’s decision means US trading desks can now participate directly in SGX’s crypto derivatives markets, a shift that is expected to “legitimize crypto derivatives as a regulated asset class” by connecting US and Asian institutional capital pools.
SGX requires new US clients to complete standard onboarding checks. Clearing members will conduct due diligence, including KYC, manage deposits, and establish API connectivity. These steps ordinarily take two to four weeks. Lam confirmed that SGX’s FIS-enabled back-office integration is in place, streamlining client onboarding for US clearing members in the near term.
In a market where a single Fed decision or an unexpected altcoin listing can shift momentum within seconds, traders are increasingly seeking efficiency in execution and data monitoring. Instead of toggling between fragmented platforms for market charts, order flows, and portfolio overviews, many institutional and retail investors are adopting privacy-oriented solutions like CryptoAppsy. This platform aggregates real-time charts, price alerts, topical coin news, and essential macro data—accessible with no account registration required and all displayed on one customizable screen.
Trading activity and future product plansSGX’s Bitcoin and Ether perpetual futures have seen approximately 400,000 lots traded since their debut. By the end of August, open interest stood at 1,300 lots, equivalent to $19 million. Bitcoin contracts comprise 66% of current open interest and 83% of daily average trading volume. The most active trading day recorded 11,500 lots, reaching $145 million in notional value.
Market participants utilize these perpetual contracts for directional positions and arbitrage, often reflecting broader macroeconomic views or exploiting funding-rate differentials between venues. Lam noted that fully integrating exchange infrastructure comes first, after which expansion to dated futures, options, and additional major cryptocurrencies is expected to proceed in a measured, stepwise fashion.
“The heavy infrastructure work comes first,” Lam explained, and after onboarding more US clearing members, there could be a more routine process for listing new digital asset derivatives.
SGX aims to gradually broaden its product coverage and market footprint rather than pursuing rapid, simultaneous launches.
BTC and ETH price ranges remain in focusAt the time of reporting, Bitcoin traded at $77,907.04, down 1.80% over the previous day but recording a 0.40% increase on the week. Ethereum held at $2,461.05, reflecting a 1.52% daily decline yet a 3% gain over seven days.
Analyst Daan Crypto Trades described both BTC and ETH as consolidating within well-defined ranges. Ethereum maintained a narrow band around its $2,460 support, while Bitcoin showed greater volatility at its $77,800 support mark.
A decisive move outside these ranges, according to Daan, could trigger strong liquidations for traders positioned on the wrong side. Other analysts added longer-term perspectives, including Gerla, who compared the current cycle to a previous period where September market weakness led to a year-end rebound and projected the possibility of $150,000 to $170,000 for Bitcoin by 2029 if a similar pattern repeats.
Focusing on Ethereum, analyst Nehal identified $2,550 as a breakout threshold; a clear move above that could set up targets between $2,800 and $3,000, with $2,350 marked as critical support to hold.
For now, Bitcoin and Ethereum are trading within established ranges as market participants monitor the early effects of expanded US access to SGX’s crypto derivatives suite.
Moonwell’s governance arm has put forward a new proposal to rebalance liquidity incentives across its Ethereum and Base deployments, with voting now live for WELL token holders. The move is part of the protocol’s recurring monthly cadence of Moonwell Improvement Proposals, or MIPs, which systematically adjust how rewards flow to lenders and borrowers across its supported markets.
How the rebalancing works Moonwell’s governance process uses automated monthly proposals to redistribute WELL token rewards across its various lending and borrowing markets. These adjustments respond to real-time shifts in market conditions and utilization rates, tweaking the incentives that attract capital to different pools.

In practical terms, that means the protocol can lower supply-side Annual Percentage Rates while raising borrow-side APRs for specific assets like ETH and USDC, or vice versa. The goal is straightforward: keep the protocol competitive for both sides of the lending equation.
The proposals are announced and tracked through the @MoonwellGov account, which serves as the protocol’s official governance communication channel. WELL token holders participate in voting, with the token serving double duty as both the governance instrument and the incentive currency being redistributed.
A track record of consensus Recent MIPs, including MIP-X59 (June 2026), MIP-X62 (July 2026), and MIP-X65 (August 2026), have all passed with approval rates exceeding 99%. Heavy participation from the governance community accompanies these votes.
Ethereum as the governance hub Moonwell has transitioned its governance to the Ethereum mainnet while continuing to support cross-chain functionalities. The protocol originally launched with deployments across multiple chains, including Moonbeam, but has been phasing out its Moonbeam presence in favor of concentrating on Ethereum and Base.
The cross-chain element adds a layer of complexity to the incentive rebalancing process. Rewards need to be calibrated not just across different assets but across different networks, each with its own gas costs, user demographics, and competitive dynamics.

Crypto asset manager Bitwise announced Thursday that the firm will liquidate and close its spot Dogecoin (DOGE) exchange-traded fund, about 10 months after the fund went live.
The last day of trading on the NYSE for the Bitwise Dogecoin ETF (BWOW) is expected to be Oct. 14. Shareholders may sell their shares in the secondary market until the close of trading on this date.
On Oct. 22, remaining shareholders will receive the net asset value of their shares as of Oct. 21, distributed in cash. Shareholders do not need to take any action during this process.
"Bitwise has determined to liquidate the Fund as it continues to optimize its product range to meet evolving investor needs," the firm said in a release.
The first Dogecoin ETF hit the market in September 2025. While there appeared to be a lot of hype behind the launch of spot Dogecoin funds, the ETFs have failed to take off with investors. The funds recorded about $318,000 in net inflows last month, according to SoSoValue, which actually reversed small outflows from July.
Spot Dogecoin ETF Volumes. Source: The Block/Yahoo Finance The Dogecoin funds have accumulated approximately $300 million in trading volumes, which, among altcoin crypto ETFs, has been dwarfed by its Hyperliquid ($2.1 billion), Zcash ($1.5 billion), and Chainlink ($680 million) counterparts.
For its part, BWOW topped out at around $3 million in daily trading volume the week of its launch.
"DOGE began as a joke and came to become an icon of the crypto movement. It doesn't purport to transform global capital markets or convince you it has fundamentals or utility," Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley said last year. "And, against the odds, it has kept its relevance—and its value — longer than just about anything else in crypto."
Dogecoin's price trades around $0.084 at publication time, giving the coin a $13 billion market cap. It has been knocked out of the top 10 cryptocurrencies over the past year amid the rise of HYPE and ZEC.
Vývojáři Cardana představili ODATANO, nástroj pro propojení SAP s blockchainem přes standardní OData V4 API. Projekt už nabízí 31 entit a funkcí včetně čtení dat, vytváření i podepisování transakcí.
Developers in the Cardano ecosystem have introduced a new tool called ODATANO, aimed at facilitating integration between SAP, one of the world’s largest enterprise software ecosystems, and the Cardano blockchain.
SAP is known as an enterprise resource planning and business software platform that enables companies to manage core business processes such as finance, accounting, supply chain, human resources, production, and customer management through a single enterprise software infrastructure, and is used by numerous large companies worldwide.
In an interview published on the Cardano developer portal, ODATANO founder Maximilian explained that the project abstracts the Cardano blockchain infrastructure behind a standard OData V4 API, allowing enterprise developers familiar with the SAP development environment to integrate Cardano without learning the technical details of blockchain technology.
According to Maximilian, a traditional SAP developer needs to learn many blockchain concepts such as the UTxO model, transaction creation, CBOR serialization, transaction fee calculation, collateral mechanisms, and key management in order to directly integrate with Cardano. ODATANO, on the other hand, packages these complex processes within a service layer, allowing Cardano to connect to SAP applications like a standard OData service. The project currently offers 31 different entities and functions, including data reading, transaction creation, and signing. Blocks, addresses, UTxOs, entities, and protocol parameters can be queried through the system, while transactions can be created, signed, and sent to the Cardano network. ODATANO can also be run as an SAP CAP plugin or installed as a standalone service.
Several reference applications, including TRACE, QUANTIX, FINCA, and x402, have been developed using the ODATANO infrastructure. QUANTIX stands out as a B2B raw material procurement and payment application utilizing oracle data, and the project won the 2026 Charli3 Oracle Hackathon. According to the Cardano developer portal, ODATANO is currently funded under the Cardano Catalyst Fund 14.

Senátorka Cynthia Lummisová chce prosadit Section 305 of the Clear Digital Asset Market Structure Act, který by emitentům stablecoinů a obchodním platformám dal právní ochranu při zmrazení prostředků spojených s nelegální činností.
U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis has stated that the recent lawsuit against Tether over its freezing of $42.4 million in USDT underscores regulatory gaps in the crypto industry’s efforts to combat illicit financial activities. She noted that stablecoin issuers and trading platforms currently face the risk of civil lawsuits if they freeze assets suspected of being tied to illegal activity. Lummis explained that Section 305 of the Clear Digital Asset Market Structure Act would grant stablecoin issuers and trading platforms the necessary authority to promptly freeze stablecoins suspected of involvement in illicit activities, while protecting them from resulting civil liability. She argued that this provision would help the crypto industry more effectively stop illicit fund flows and resolve the legal risks that issuers and platforms currently encounter when implementing compliance measures.

Oracle's Q1 results beat expectations, climbing more than 5% in after-hours trading.
Oracle has announced its fiscal 2027 first quarter results: adjusted earnings per share (EPS) stood at $1.92, beating the market consensus estimate of $1.75; adjusted total revenue hit $19.35 billion, also exceeding the $19.13 billion forecast. By business segment, cloud infrastructure (IaaS) revenue reached $7.39 billion, surpassing expectations of $7.19 billion; software support revenue totaled $4.9 billion, slightly above the $4.88 billion estimate; software license revenue came in at $655 million, however, missing the $718.8 million forecast. Boosted by the strong results and cloud business performance, Oracle (ORCL) saw its U.S. stock rise more than 5% in after-hours trading. In recent years, Oracle has been accelerating its heavy bet on AI cloud infrastructure. At the end of its last fiscal year, the company’s remaining performance obligations (RPO) reached $638 billion, up 363% year-over-year, with large-scale AI cloud contracts acting as a key driver of order growth.

European regulators warn Polymarket and Kalshi that they may lack the necessary licenses to serve EU users.
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) released its latest risk report, stating that major prediction market platforms including Polymarket and Kalshi currently lack the required authorization to offer event contracts to EU users under normal circumstances. ESMA noted that the regulatory nature of event contracts depends on the specific product, which may be classified as financial instruments, crypto assets subject to the MiCA framework, or fall under gambling regulations of EU member states. If categorized as financial instruments, they typically qualify as derivatives and may be subject to EU retail restrictions on binary options. ESMA also questioned the current EU region restrictions imposed by Polymarket and Kalshi, pointing out that the two platforms only restrict access to some member states, and it remains unclear why all EU countries have not been included in the restricted list, while there is also a risk of VPNs being used to bypass geographic restrictions. In July this year, France ordered internet service providers to block Polymarket. In addition, ESMA warned that the AI boom could become a new risk transmission channel for the crypto market. If AI investment returns fall short of expectations or there is a sell-off in tech stocks, large investors may sell highly liquid risky assets including crypto assets to raise cash. ESMA data shows that Bitcoin fell 35% in the first half of 2026, with outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs exceeding $5.5 billion over the same period. ESMA has previously clarified that if event contracts are classified as financial instruments, their distribution in the EU requires an investment firm license and may be subject to retail bans on binary options.

The US SEC intends to make blockchain the official record for securities ownership, marking a key regulatory breakthrough for tokenized stocks.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently proposed reforms to rules for registered transfer agents, aiming to explicitly allow electronic databases—including blockchain—as official records of securities ownership. Currently, tokenized securities often have both on-chain token ledgers and off-chain official shareholder registers; the need to continuously reconcile these two systems increases operational costs and legal risks. If the new rules are approved, blockchain is expected to serve as the primary record for securities, eliminating the need for tokenized securities to maintain duplicate off-chain ownership records. SEC Chair Paul Atkins stated that the reforms aim to align transfer agent rules with advancements in electronic record-keeping and blockchain technology. However, this does not mean tokenized securities will become fully permissionless assets. Issuers and transfer agents must still comply with regulatory requirements such as investor identity verification, transfer restrictions, succession protocols, and shareholder notifications; blockchain will primarily function as a legally recognized ownership record infrastructure. The SEC previously noted that, provided they meet federal securities laws’ requirements for record-keeping, reporting, and audits, registered transfer agents may use distributed ledgers as official shareholder registers without maintaining additional off-chain "digital twin" records. The rule proposal is open for public comment for 60 days. If finalized, blockchain will further evolve from a "technical shell" for tokenized securities to a core component of U.S. securities market infrastructure, removing key legal and operational barriers to the full on-chain migration of traditional assets like stocks and funds.

Trump to distribute $500 healthcare "refunds" to nearly one million people.
On September 10, the Trump administration announced it would issue a one-time $500 "refund" to nearly 1 million enrollees in the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), with disbursements scheduled for October—just weeks ahead of the U.S. midterm elections. Eligible consumers are primarily those who purchased Obamacare plans via HealthCare.gov, have incomes roughly four times the federal poverty level, and did not receive federal subsidies, covering 30 states. The White House said the funds are refunds for unused health insurance marketplace operating fees previously collected by the federal government, arguing these costs were ultimately passed on to consumers. However, the policy has sparked controversy. Health policy experts point out that the Biden administration actually lowered ACA marketplace user rates, and such fees are not the main driver of this year’s sharp premium hikes. Meanwhile, after additional health insurance subsidies expired, many consumers face thousands of dollars in premium increases this year, with the $500 refund covering only a small portion of that cost. Notably, Trump’s refund announcement comes as midterm elections near. Earlier, he also proposed that if the Republican Party holds onto control of Congress in the November midterms, it would distribute $5,000 "dividends" to U.S. households. As healthcare, cost of living and other issues remain top voter concerns, the Trump administration is ramping up policies that directly deliver economic benefits to the public.

A physical card version is scheduled for release in 2026, which will include ATM withdrawal capabilities.
The payment product emerged from collaboration between stablecoin payment platform Rain, digital wallet provider Crossmint, and the Stellar blockchain.
MoneyGram’s Global Infrastructure MoneyGram’s network reaches more than 60 million active users spanning over 200 nations and territories. The company operates through nearly 500,000 physical retail outlets across the globe.
This extensive brick-and-mortar presence enables MoneyGram to connect digital stablecoin holdings with physical cash accessibility.
According to PaymentScan data, stablecoin card transaction volume surpassed $1.1 billion in August.
MoneyGram also participates in Open USD, Stripe’s stablecoin project that distributes revenue among its partner network.
Throughout the past year, the company has been integrating stablecoin infrastructure into its conventional remittance operations.
CEO Anthony Soohoo stated the card provides customers with enhanced flexibility and authority to oversee their finances through a unified platform.
The MoneyGram Card represents an evolution of the company’s 85-year legacy in global money transfer services.

Nubank spustil Nu Global, multi-měnový účet, který převádí vklady do USDC a EURC a nabízí bezplatné převody do více než 35 zemí. Součástí je i virtuální Mastercard a výnos až 3,50 % APY na USDC.
Nubank just made its biggest bet on crypto rails yet. The Brazilian fintech giant, which serves over 140 million customers, has launched Nu Global, a multi-currency digital account that converts user deposits into Circle’s USDC and EURC stablecoins and uses them as the backbone for international transfers.
The product went live on September 10, offering fee-free transfers across more than 35 countries with initial focus on Europe and Latin America. It also marks Nubank’s formal entry into the US market, where it has partnered with FDIC-insured Lead Bank while pursuing its own national bank charter.
How Nu Global actually works The core mechanic is straightforward: users deposit local currency, and Nu Global converts it into stablecoins. USDC handles dollar-denominated balances, while EURC covers euros. Those stablecoin balances earn daily yield, with USDC paying 3.50% APY and EURC paying 2.20% APY.

The account comes with a virtual Mastercard for global spending, meaning users can tap into their stablecoin balances at merchants worldwide without needing to manually convert anything. Users can also hold and trade a curated selection of digital assets within the app, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, alongside their stablecoin positions.
This isn’t Nubank’s first foray into stablecoins. The company already offered USDC functionality through NuCrypto, its Brazil-based crypto service. Nu Global extends that foundation into a fully integrated international banking product rather than a standalone crypto feature.
The US play and banking charter ambitions The partnership with Lead Bank, which carries FDIC insurance, provides a regulatory bridge while Nubank works toward its own national bank charter. The company received preliminary conditional approval for that charter in January 2026, a process that typically involves extensive regulatory scrutiny from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
CEO David Vélez has framed Nu Global around the concept of “borderless lives,” targeting the millions of people who live, work, or have financial obligations across multiple countries.
What this means for Circle and stablecoin adoption The yield offerings on stablecoin balances also deserve attention. A 3.50% APY on USDC is competitive with many US high-yield savings accounts, and it comes wrapped in a product that offers international functionality those accounts can’t match. The 2.20% APY on EURC, while lower, reflects the European Central Bank’s rate environment.
The key markets in Nu Global’s initial rollout, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and the US, represent some of the highest-volume remittance corridors in the Western Hemisphere.

TRON rozšířil podporu pro MetaMask napříč svým ekosystémem: nově ji mají B.AI, SUN.io, JustLend DAO i BitTorrent. Uživatelé tak mohou k aplikacím TRONu přistupovat přes známou self-custody peněženku.
Geneva, Switzerland, September 10, 2026 — TRON DAO, the community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps), today announced expanded support for MetaMask across the TRON ecosystem, with B.AI, SUN.io, JustLend DAO and BitTorrent now supporting MetaMask connectivity through their respective dApps.
MetaMask, one of the world’s largest consumer platforms for onchain finance, gives users direct control over their money and access to the onchain economy. Earlier this year, MetaMask launched native support for the TRON network across both its mobile and browser extension platforms. Building on that launch, users now have more ways to interact with applications across the TRON ecosystem using MetaMask.
B.AI is a financial infrastructure platform designed to give AI agents their own identities and the ability to transact independently, powering autonomous payments and on-chain execution for the emerging agent economy. SUN.io, TRON’s leading decentralized platform with over $650 million in total value locked (TVL), enables users to connect with MetaMask to access its high-performance SunSwap V4 decentralized exchange and automated market maker.
JustLend DAO, TRON’s lending protocol, holds more than $7 billion in TVL and supports borrowing, lending, and staking. BitTorrent provides cross-chain interoperability through BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) and decentralized storage through the BitTorrent File System (BTFS).
“By expanding MetaMask dApp connectivity across TRON ecosystem applications, we’re giving users more ways to interact with TRON through a wallet they already know and use,” said Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson of the TRON DAO. “By expanding MetaMask connectivity across TRON’s dApp ecosystem, we are enabling millions of users worldwide to experience TRON’s speed, affordability, and ecosystem depth without changing the tools they already rely on.”
“Native TRON support in MetaMask gives users greater flexibility to interact with the TRON ecosystem using the wallet they already know,” said Dan Rosario, Ecosystem Engagement Manager at MetaMask. “As more applications across the TRON ecosystem implement MetaMask connectivity, users have more ways to engage with the network while maintaining the control that comes with self-custody.”
TRON is a leading global settlement layer for stablecoins, processing more than $23 billion in average daily transfer volume and hosting more than $94 billion of circulating USDT on-chain. Native TRON support in MetaMask enables users to manage TRON-based assets and connect their wallet to supported applications across the TRON ecosystem.
As more TRON applications implement MetaMask connectivity, users have additional ways to interact with the network through a familiar self-custodial wallet.
About TRON DAOTRON DAO is a community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet via blockchain technology and dApps.
Founded in September 2017, the TRON blockchain has experienced significant growth since its MainNet launch in May 2018. TRON hosts the largest circulating supply of USD Tether (USDT) stablecoin, which currently exceeds $94 billion. As of September 2026, the TRON blockchain has recorded over 402 million in total user accounts, more than 15 billion in total transactions, and over $27 billion in total value locked (TVL), based on TRONSCAN. Recognized as the global settlement layer for stablecoin transactions and everyday purchases with proven success, TRON is “Moving Trillions, Empowering Billions.”

TLDR: FIU-IND issued PMLA compliance notices to 15 offshore crypto exchanges on September 9, 2026. Named platforms include Weex, Blofin, Bitunix, Pionex, WhiteBIT, DigiFinex, Toobit, and XT.com. Regulators also sought takedowns of the named platforms’ apps and websites accessible in India. The action follows 2023 precedent, when FIU-IND issued similar notices to Binance and KuCoin. India crypto crackdown efforts intensified on September 9, 2026, after the Financial Intelligence Unit-India issued compliance notices.
The notices went to 15 offshore platforms over non-compliance with the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, or PMLA. Platforms named include Weex, Blofin, Bitunix, Pionex, and WhiteBIT.
FIU-IND also sought takedowns of the platforms’ apps and websites accessible to Indian users. The move marks a new phase in offshore exchange oversight for Indian crypto traders.
Why FIU-IND Targeted These Platforms FIU-IND operates under India’s Ministry of Finance and analyzes intelligence tied to suspicious financial transactions.
Certain crypto businesses must register as Reporting Entities under this framework. Registration brings obligations around record-keeping, due diligence, and reporting to authorities.
The September 9 notices covered 15 virtual digital asset service providers in total. Beyond Weex, Blofin, Bitunix, Pionex, and WhiteBIT, the list included Rezorex, DigiFinex, Toobit, and XT.com.
Latoken, WOO X, ChangeNow, SimpleSwap, Guardarian, and FixedFloat also received notices. Each platform now faces scrutiny over continued access to Indian users.

India brought specified virtual digital asset activities under its anti-money laundering framework back in March 2023. This means qualifying offshore platforms serving Indian users can fall under domestic AML rules.
Physical headquarters location alone does not remove that obligation. The activity itself determines whether coverage applies.
Understanding AML, KYC and Reporting Entity Rules Anti-Money Laundering compliance aims to stop criminals from moving illicit funds through financial platforms. For exchanges, this can include identity verification, transaction monitoring, and suspicious activity reporting.
Sanctions screening and record maintenance also fall within standard AML practice. Enhanced due diligence typically applies to higher-risk customer profiles.
Know Your Customer procedures form one part of the broader AML structure. Traders who submitted identification documents when opening an exchange account have completed KYC. Some platforms request additional details about a customer’s source of funds.
A Reporting Entity is a business covered by PMLA with specific compliance duties. These duties include maintaining records, conducting due diligence, and reporting information to FIU-IND.
Covered activities include exchanging virtual assets for fiat currency and transferring virtual assets. Custody and administration services also fall within the framework.
India’s approach treats these as activity-based obligations rather than location-based ones. A platform serving Indian users can face compliance requirements regardless of incorporation country. Regulators increasingly focus on where services reach users, not just company location.
What This Means for Indian Crypto Investors The FIU-IND action does not amount to a ban on Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other digital assets. India’s approach continues bringing service providers into compliance frameworks while warning investors about general risks.
Crypto trading itself remains legal for Indian residents. Enforcement here targets platform compliance rather than asset ownership.
Traders should weigh a platform’s regulatory standing alongside fees and available coins. Checking FIU status, KYC procedures, and withdrawal risk can reduce exposure to sudden access changes. Maintaining transaction records also helps establish fund history if required.
This action follows earlier precedent involving Binance and KuCoin in 2023. Both platforms received FIU-IND notices before facing penalties and moving toward compliance. That history suggests today’s notices are not an isolated event.
Platforms may now choose between meeting India’s compliance requirements or restricting access to Indian users.
This could reshape which offshore exchanges remain accessible over time. Regulatory standing is becoming as relevant as trading features when selecting an exchange.
