Nexera Announces First Compliance-Ready Layer 1 for Institutional On-Chain Capital Markets

Table of contents

Nexera has partnered with Propchain, the blockchain branch of Prop.com, to place a €1.1 billion residential pipeline on-chain. This team-up constitutes a turning point in the development of tokenized real estate and regulatory-compliant financial instruments, connecting the world of traditional markets to BlockChain infrastructure.

Real Estate Meets Regulation With a robust investors’ base in the background and a pipeline ranging from NAREIT distressed asset recovery REITs to site development projects, Propchain will launch its entire platform on Nexera Chain, including the high-yield PropYield platform. So far, via SPV-managed portfolios, PropYield can deliver a net annual return of 10-14%, which is now to be managed transparently on-chain.

This integration will happen on the Nexera Chain, a Layer 1 blockchain focusing on compliance and enabling institutional-grade capital markets. Nexera’s native infrastructure (assets) includes KYC, KYB, AML, wallet screening, and travel rule compliance. 

The chain conforms to the EU’s MiCA framework, approves ERC-7208 omnichain standard, and is regulated and interoperable globally.

Enabling Ethical Finance at Scale Apart from digitizing real estate, the two teams will develop sustainable and Shariah-compliant financial wheelbarrows jointly. There are sukuk on-chain and ethical yield products that follow Islamic finance principles. It provides the previously underserved investor segments with value-aligned, transparent, and asset-rich investment opportunities.

Global Scalability and Institutional Readiness The deployment of Propchain on Nexera Chain is to improve scalability, compliance, and onboarding of investors massively. It places the platform at the center for tokenized RWAs (real-world assets), combining user-user appeal and institutional regulation.

“This is not just a tech application in the estate business; it is a road map of the future of the estate and compliant finances,” said a Nexera spokesperson. “We are building the infrastructure that allows real assets to have real compliance”.

Developing the Future of On-chain Capital Markets This partnership is a significant milestone in the transition towards the institutionalization of blockchain technology. By integrating Propchain’s asset pipeline and Nexera’s regulatory framework together, this collaboration is a scalable, conformable go-forward strategy for tokenized real estate and beyond.

In combination, Nexera and Propchain are not only increasing availability to real estate, but also it is a casebook of possible expansion of traditional finance in combination with decentralized systems; securely, legitimately, and worldwide.

Key Takeaways Shares of Nexera Technologies climbed more than 90% in premarket sessions after its KeepZone AI subsidiary secured Gulf region marketing rights for advanced fuel tank protection technology The protective system delivers blast resistance, fragment shielding, and anti-corrosion capabilities with a projected 25-year operational lifespan NEXR traded up over 90% before the bell on Tuesday, adding to Monday’s 8.7% advance Share volume exploded to 16.6 million, dramatically exceeding the three-month average of approximately 169,000 The rally comes as NEXR remains down 82.62% year-to-date and has plunged 99% over the trailing 12 months Shares of Nexera Technologies skyrocketed more than 90% during premarket hours on Tuesday following news that its KeepZone AI division obtained formal authorization from a protective infrastructure solutions company.

Nexera Technologies Ltd, NEXR

This authorization grants KeepZone the ability to market and distribute the provider’s composite structural survivability platform to targeted customers throughout the Gulf region.

The advanced technology targets fuel storage infrastructure and vital energy assets within the petrochemical sector. The system is compatible with both steel-based and concrete tank structures.

Key features include blast wave mitigation, fragmentation defense, spall containment, and secondary protective barriers. Additional benefits encompass UV resistance and corrosion prevention, with anticipated functionality exceeding 25 years under Gulf environmental conditions.

Installation occurs externally, ensuring clients experience minimal interruption to ongoing operations.

According to Alon Dayan, KeepZone AI’s CEO, this authorization marks a significant milestone in the firm’s strategic expansion into critical infrastructure security markets across the Gulf.

KeepZone operates as a fully-owned Nexera subsidiary specializing in the distribution of AI-driven homeland security solutions. The company’s portfolio spans 3D imaging technologies, electromagnetic threat identification, perimeter breach detection, and anti-drone defense systems.

Volatile Trading Patterns Continue Tuesday’s premarket surge built upon Monday’s 8.7% session gain. Trading activity on Tuesday exploded beyond 16.6 million shares, representing a stark contrast to the three-month daily average of roughly 169,000 shares. This translates to approximately 100 times typical trading volume.

However, important context surrounds this price movement. NEXR shares remain down 82.62% since the beginning of the year and have collapsed 99% over the past year. The stock recently traded near $2, far below its 52-week peak of $428.40.

Nexera currently maintains a market capitalization of only $1.62 million. The company generated $16.83 million in trailing twelve-month revenue, representing 23% growth, though gross profit margins register at merely 10.55%.

Profitability remains elusive, with negative EBITDA reaching $6.4 million. According to InvestingPro analytics, the company faces rapid cash depletion and maintains a substantial debt burden.

Strategic Partnerships Expand Market Reach KeepZone has actively pursued multiple partnership arrangements in recent periods. The subsidiary finalized a white label arrangement to create an AI-enhanced voice communication platform under its proprietary branding for worldwide distribution.

Additionally, KeepZone executed a non-exclusive agency contract with Skyline Software Systems to promote 3D geospatial visualization solutions throughout the Middle East, European markets, and Latin America.

The subsidiary was designated as an authorized reseller for D-Fence Ltd.’s Perimeter Intrusion Detection platforms in Mexico, while simultaneously obtaining non-exclusive distribution rights for SENSORZTECH Ltd.’s RF spectrum intelligence solutions in the Mexican market.

Nexera, which previously operated under the name Jeffs’ Brands Ltd, continues to manage legacy e-commerce activities on the Amazon Marketplace through distinct subsidiary entities.

The organization divested its Fort Products pest control division to Fort Technology Inc. in July 2025, receiving a controlling ownership stake in exchange.

Wall Street analyst coverage for NEXR remains sparse. The TipRanks technical sentiment tracker currently displays an Overall Consensus rating of Sell, derived from 11 Bearish signals, five Neutral readings, and six Bullish indicators.

Beta Finance is a money market on Ethereum that allows users to borrow, lend, and short crypto assets. Following its launch on the Ethereum Mainnet, Beta Finance plans to roll out additional layer-1 and layer-2 solutions.

Users have three options: lending, borrowing, and short selling. Lenders can provide crypto assets for any market available on Beta Finance and earn interest. Borrowers can take the opposite position, while short sellers can use collateral to start short positions. Unlike centralized exchanges, Beta Finance does not use an order book for short transactions; instead, it routes transactions through decentralized exchanges using automated market makers.

Beta Finance identifies the significant volatility of crypto as harmful to the adoption of DeFi by individuals and institutions. It views short selling as a critical financial tool missing from the DeFi ecosystem that facilitates market stability and efficiency. Users can easily execute short trades using the platform’s “1-Click Short” tool. With one button, they can select the DEX to swap and stake the newly exchanged collateral with the principal in the short position.

Beta Finance follows an isolated collateral model to support more volatile assets, meaning that a collateralized position at risk of liquidation does not jeopardize another position. Initially, Beta Finance supports ETH, USDC, USDT, and DAI as valid collateral, and the community can propose and vote for additional collateral support in Phase 2. Collaterals are subject to various collateral factors: Stablecoins have a collateral factor of 90%, and ETH has a collateral factor of 80%.

Beta Finance was founded by Allen Lee, an MIT graduate who previously worked as a software engineer at Microsoft and Facebook. It is backed by a prominent group of investors, including Spartan Group, ParaFi Capital, Multicoin Capital, DeFiance Capital, and Delphi Digital.

BETA is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum and BSC. Its security framework consists of four main pillars:

Beta Finance conducts continuous internal code reviewsThe platform plans to seek external reviews from leading security researchersReal-time monitoring services are said to be availableBeta Finance will launch a bug bounty campaign for whitehat hackersHow to Buy BETA Coin?BETA Coin can be quickly and securely purchased via Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency trading platform by trading volume.

To buy BETA Coin, one must first become a member of Binance and then transfer fiat currency. After transferring fiat currency like Turkish Lira or dollars, one can proceed to buy BETA Coin in the trading pairs BETA/Bitcoin (BTC), BETA/Binance Coin (BNB), BETA/Ethereum (ETH), BETA/BUSD, and BETA/Tether (USDT).

Additionally, on Binance, users can place buy orders at a lower value than the market price, allowing them to purchase at their desired price. To do this, use the Limit tab and enter the amount and price you wish to buy.

Disclaimer: The information contained in this article does not constitute investment advice. Investors should be aware that cryptocurrencies carry high volatility and therefore risk, and should conduct their own research.

The Beta Finance (BETA) team executed a noteworthy transfer from their multisig wallet to the Binance exchange, valued at approximately $7.37 million, comprising 170 million BETA coins. According to on-chain data compiled by the blockchain analysis platform The Data Nerd, this transfer represents 17% of the total supply of BETA coins, generating considerable attention within the cryptocurrency community.

BETA Coin’s 17% Supply Moves to BinanceThe identified coin transfer has sparked various speculations among the community. While the Beta Finance team has yet to provide an explanation for the reasons behind this significant transfer, many experts and market participants interpret this large sum moving to Binance as a potential sell signal.

However, some analysts suggest that such a large coin transfer could be aimed at providing liquidity in the market or may be part of a strategic agreement.

How Will Investors of the Altcoin Be Affected?The impact of this move on BETA coin holders is a pressing concern. Typically, transfers of this magnitude can lead to market fluctuations. There are prevailing fears within the community that this development might negatively affect prices, leading to a potential drop in the altcoin‘s value. Conversely, some investors believe the coins may have been transferred to Binance for locking or liquidity purposes, asserting that there is nothing to worry about. Still, such a large transfer has unsettled many investors.

According to CoinMarketCap data, BETA coin was trading at $0.04416, reflecting a modest increase of 0.66% over the past 24 hours at the time of writing. It is noteworthy that this limited price rise coincided with a decline in trading volume, which fell 5.49% to $5.87 million during the same period.

The combined entity aims to target the multi-billion dollar real-world asset (RWA) market through film financing, real estate, and private credit verticals.

Film Financing, Real Estate, and Private Credit Verticals

Redacted Group ($RDAC), a multi-vertical Web3 ecosystem backed by Spartan Group, Animoca Brands and Polygon Ventures, today announces its strategic merger with Tenset ($10SET), a proven blockchain infrastructure platform with over $100M raised through public and private ICOs and a $1B+ legacy token peak market cap.

The combined entity positions to capture the rapidly expanding Real-World Asset (RWA) market by delivering next-generation opportunities across film financing, real estate and mezzanine lending, previously accessible only to high-net-worth investors and family offices.

The merger unites Redacted’s exclusive network and $10M venture backing with Tenset’s Launchpad infrastructure and a combined, much larger global community, creating a powerhouse to capture niche markets and untapped growth. By leveraging Tenset’s infrastructure, the merged platform will debut with an upcoming CineFi launchpad, introducing film financing that offers growth to users and tapping into a $20B+ RWA opportunity.

“We’re addressing one of the biggest opportunities in Web3, bridging real-world value into the digital economy,” said Shan Kumar, CEO of the combined entity. “While countless projects have shuttered since the 2021–2022 cycle, Tenset and Redacted have both endured, steadily building out the ecosystem over the past few months. Together, we’re pioneering RWA infrastructure that opens access to entirely new markets, from film financing to real estate and alternative credit, transforming opportunities once reserved for the few into accessible growth for the many. Redacted brings deep relationships to build the future of niche capital markets, and our first vertical, CineFi, is just the start to unlock a multi-billion-dollar shift toward RWA beginning with film financing.”

Kirubakaran Reddy, founder of AlphablockZ Ventures, the parent entity that owns the Tenset brand, added, “Real-world assets backed by tangible value and established structures offer diversified, cycle-independent growth. Tenset built its reputation through $10SET’s multi-year resilience, and now we’re applying that same rigor to RWA verticals where Redacted’s exclusive network provides privileged participation to deals typically reserved for private networks. At the same time, Tenset’s existing and upcoming token opportunities remain a core part of our DNA and through Redacted’s broader global reach, we’ll bring even higher-quality, high-conviction token deals to our community, giving them access to the same tier of opportunities once reserved for early venture participants and private allocations.”

CineFi: Film Financing as the First RWA Vertical

The merged platform launches with CineFi, a technology platform designed to facilitate decentralized participation in film financing.

CineFi democratizes access to film financing, a historically opaque area dominated by studios and production houses. Through a partnership with Mugafi, an award-winning production house and media platform powering 50+ production companies with AI-driven storytelling tools and deep partnerships with major OTT platforms, CineFi delivers vetted, high-potential opportunities to the global Web3 space.

Strategic Expansion Across Multiple RWA Verticals While CineFi serves as the inaugural product, the combined Tenset-Redacted platform is architecting a multi-vertical RWA ecosystem:

1.  Film Financing (CineFi)—Launching now with Mugafi curation 

2.  Real Estate—Curated by award-winning developers exploring tokenized access to premium property opportunities

3.  Mezzanine Loans—Vetted growth opportunities through structured lending products in underserved markets

Each vertical follows the same strategic framework:

– Access to the Inaccessible: Bringing next-generation opportunities previously untapped by the web3 market

– Sustainable Real-World Growth: Backed by tangible assets designed for consistent, reliable growth

– Crypto-Cycle Independence: Diversified streams resilient to crypto market volatility

The timing couldn’t be better. The tokenized asset market grew 380% last year to $24 billion, driven by private credit and treasury-linked products. Regulatory clarity, especially in the U.S., is improving, which means more institutional stakeholders are getting comfortable with this space.

Community and Stakeholder Benefits Existing Tenset and Redacted communities will receive priority access to CineFi opportunities and enhanced platform benefits. Both ecosystems will continue to operate their respective tokens while the combined leadership evaluates the optimal long-term structure to serve stakeholders across both communities.

$RDAC, the native token of the Redacted ecosystem, grants holders preferential access to real-world asset offerings, including CineFi, as well as community-exclusive allocations and on-chain growth potential through exclusive opportunities. Functioning as the access layer of the ecosystem, $RDAC aligns user participation with value creation across upcoming RWA opportunities spanning film financing, real estate and structured credit, with more to come.

Be Among the First to Access DeFi Film Financing CineFi launches in Nov 2025. Early registrants will receive first access to Mugafi-curated film financing opportunities.

Stablecoin issuer Circle said it plans to launch its own version of a wrapped Bitcoin, which would put it against incumbents Coinbase and BitGo as it targets institutional users.

The asset, called cirBTC and announced on Thursday, is set to launch on Ethereum, backed 1:1 by bitcoin (BTC) and aimed at over-the-counter desks, market makers and lending protocols.

Circle said the asset is designed to provide institutions with a “highly secure and neutral version of wrapped BTC.”

Financial institutions, which have become significant buyers of Bitcoin, have been actively exploring decentralized finance. Wrapped versions of Bitcoin would allow the asset to be used on other chains, such as Ethereum, giving them access to DeFi.

In addition to Ethereum, the new asset will also launch on Circle’s layer-1 blockchain Arc and its Circle Mint platform, said Circle.

Cointelegraph contacted Circle for further details, but did not receive an immediate response.

Circle joins race led by Coinbase and BitGoCircle’s new wrapped Bitcoin joins a market currently led by BitGo’s Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) and Coinbase Wrapped Bitcoin (cbBTC).

Coinbase’s cbBTC was launched in September 2024 and has a current market capitalization of $5.9 billion and a current supply of 88,800 tokens.

BitGo’s wBTC is the dominant wrapped Bitcoin token, with a market capitalization of about $8 billion and 119,157 tokens in circulation. However, that figure is roughly half its November 2021 peak, when Bitcoin hit its cycle all-time high.

Crypto exchanges launched their own wrapped BitcoinSeveral crypto exchanges have launched variations of wrapped Bitcoin, including Kraken Wrapped BTC (KBTC), Gate Wrapped BTC (GTBTC), Binance Wrapped BTC (BBTC), Huobi BTC (HBTC) and OKX Wrapped BTC (XBTC), but their market caps are a fraction of the two leaders.

The total combined supply of wBTC and cbBTC stands at roughly 208,000 BTC, according to CoinGecko.

WSJ: CoinEx Linked to Iran-Related Cryptocurrency Fund Flows

According to a Wall Street Journal report, since 2019, wallets linked to Iran have transferred over $3.84 billion in assets via cryptocurrency exchange CoinEx. On-chain data shows that CoinEx’s custodial wallet received crypto proceeds from hacks tied to Iran’s central bank, and conducted direct transactions with accounts previously designated by U.S. officials as belonging to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Additionally, in 2024, CoinEx replaced Binance to become the largest overseas counterparty for Iranian exchange Nobitex, with the two parties recording over $763 million in fund flows last year. Between 2022 and 2025, CoinEx’s custodial wallet also processed transactions involving individuals suspected of participating in the sanctioned Iranian oil sales network.

Jiang Zhuoer: This round of Bitcoin bear market may bottom out in Q4 2026, with a target range of $42,000 to $44,000.

BTC.TOP founder Jiang Zhuoer wrote in a post that Strategy’s modified net asset value (mNAV) has fallen to 0.72, near the 0.7 low hit in May 2022 during the last bear market. Citing recent market sentiment events including STRC’s depegging, he noted that mNAV is now in the bottom zone of this cycle. mNAV usually bottoms roughly six months before Bitcoin’s price. Using the "four-year cycle" and volatility decay model, Jiang projected that this Bitcoin bear market will likely bottom between October and December 2026, with a target price range of $42,000 to $44,000. He added that his recent medium-short term strategy remains focused on selling spot assets and holding short positions, and will switch to buying spot and going long once the expected bottom arrives.

The stablecoin total market cap has reached $320.85 billion, as per DeFiLlama data. This marks a massive growth, as the stablecoin market went from $5 billion to $300 billion in just five years, as reported by the World Economic Forum.

Source: DeFiLlama In this growth, Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC played a major role, contributing 99.93% of the stablecoin market, according to Messari. 

However, with the rise of various other stablecoins, the dominance that the U.S. was witnessing seems to be fading away. As Mesari noted, 

Several nations have expressed interest in new currency-backed stablecoins.

In short, besides USDT and USDC, multiple stablecoins are becoming the new favorites. 

European, Chinese stablecoins steal the spotlight In Europe, the EURC, despite a small market share of 0.07%, is gaining traction.

EURC has become the largest stablecoin, with a $430 million market cap, thanks to the EU’s MiCA (Markets in Crypto Assets) framework. If the growth momentum continues, EURC is likely to reach €1.1T by 2030.

The second one is a CNY-backed stablecoin in China. Though no CNY stablecoin is live yet, the test mode in Hong Kong is already enough to grab users attention.

The latter aims to boost Renminbi [RMB] internationalization, reducing the dependence on U.S. dollars. Moreover, Circle’s CEO Jeremy Allaire also predicted a yuan-backed stablecoin to be live in the next 3-5 years.

Japan’s JPY is no exception Lastly, there are Japan’s JPY stablecoins. This stablecoin plans to issue $66 billion and provide tough competition to the European digital assets once alive.

The idea of stablecoin in Japan is to provide Japan’s users with additional digital payment options besides Japan’s cash-dominated framework.

Amidst such a rise, the BIS’s General Manager, Pablo Hernández de Cos, recently called for “international cooperation” on multiple regulatory stablecoin frameworks across jurisdictions.  

Regulatory developments in the U.S. around stablecoins This comes on the heels of the US seeing regulatory developments like the GENIUS Act passed in 2025. Additionally, there has been ongoing progress around the passage of the CLARITY Act. Senator Cynthia Lummis put it best when she said, 

It’s time Congress passes the CLARITY Act. It’s now or never.

All in all, these developments show that besides the U.S., other nations stablecoins are making room to dominate the stablecoin space.

Final Summary Besides U.S.-backed USDC and USDT, multiple other stablecoins are destined to see massive growth. Tether and Circle stablecoins contribute 99.93% of the $320.858 billion stablecoin market cap.

Spain appears to be the strongest retail market for Circle’s euro-pegged stablecoin EURC on crypto banking platform Brighty, according to company data.

Spain led EURC usage by a wide margin in 2025 and the first quarter of 2026, accounting for about 36% of transactions and 25% of volume, according to Brighty data seen by Cointelegraph.

“For Spanish users, EURC functions essentially as a standard euro on a card with no exchange rate friction when transacting against USDC,” Brighty co-founder Nick Denisenko said.

The platform data offers an early look at how euro stablecoins may be used in European retail payments, as euro tokens remain small next to US dollar-pegged stablecoins like Tether's USDt and Circle’s USDC, even as policymakers seek to expand the euro's role in stablecoin markets.

Spain leads EURC retail usage shiftIssued by Circle Internet Financial Europe, the Paris-based arm of USDC issuer Circle, EURC is the largest euro-pegged stablecoin on the market. It currently accounts for about 49% of the $887 million euro-pegged stablecoin market cap, according to CoinGecko

According to Brighty, Spain shows the clearest retail-oriented usage of EURC, with relatively low average transaction sizes compared with other markets, at roughly 49 euros ($57) per payment.

Brighty data indicates EURC activity in Spain is increasingly linked to small-value payments such as peer-to-peer transfers and daily spending. This contrasts with more fragmented usage patterns in other European countries.

France and Europe’s high-value EURC stablecoin splitItaly ranked second in EURC activity, accounting for 15.5% of Brighty’s EURC transactions and 18% of volume, suggesting a mix of retail and higher-value users.

Germany followed closely, accounting for around 13% of transactions and 19% of volume, with the average payment size of 105 euros ($123).

France stood out with a much higher average transaction size of around 171 euros ($186), more than three times Spain’s level, suggesting usage tied to larger transfers rather than everyday payments.

Why Spain?According to Brighty’s Denisenko, the data suggests Spain shows the clearest retail-oriented EURC usage on its platform, which reflects higher user familiarity with crypto and stronger institutional readiness among local banking institutions.

“When we engage with counterparts at major Spanish banks, we consistently observe a remarkably high degree of competence even among frontline staff — which is not something one takes for granted elsewhere,” Denisenko said.

He added that Spanish users were among the earliest adopters of EURC on Brighty, adding that they also show particularly active engagement with stablecoin-based yield features, reinforcing consistent retail-level usage.

Denisenko added this combination of early adoption, payment-style usage and broader institutional awareness has made Spain the clearest early hub for euro stablecoin activity under European-wide Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) framework.

PANews reported on May 4 that stablecoin issuer Circle announced that its French entity, Circle France, received approval from the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) on April 20, 2026, to provide crypto-asset-related services under the EU's Crypto Asset Markets Regulation (MiCA) framework. This approval also signifies a further expansion of Circle's stablecoin and compliant payment infrastructure footprint in the EU.

This approval allows Circle France to provide custody and transfer services for its issued stablecoins USD Coin (USDC) and Euro Coin (EURC) in accordance with Article 60(4) of the MiCA and to offer such services to customers within the European Economic Area (EEA).

Circle stated that this development marks a significant step in its efforts to advance digital financial infrastructure within the European compliance framework. Chief Strategy Officer Dante Disparte said it reflects Circle's ongoing commitment to building a "trustworthy digital financial system" in France and across the EU.

Sometimes the best product strategy is just being the last one standing when regulators finish clearing the room. That’s more or less what happened with Circle’s EURC, the euro-denominated stablecoin that has seen its wallet share expand more than six times between January 2025 and March 2026.

The token’s market cap hit approximately $460.8M by March 1, 2026, giving it over 50% of the entire euro stablecoin market.

MiCA did the heavy lifting The EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation, known as MiCA, created a compliance framework that proved too steep for many competitors. Most notably, Tether’s euro-denominated products were forced off numerous EU exchanges, effectively handing Circle the keys to the market.

Circle operates under a single French Electronic Money Institution license that is valid across all 27 EU member states, giving the company a regulatory passport that competitors either can’t match or haven’t bothered to pursue.

EURC’s circulating supply tripled from roughly 309 million tokens at the end of 2025 to about 390 million in early 2026. That’s a 23.6% jump in just three months.

From DeFi rails to checkout counters Ingenico, one of the world’s largest payment terminal manufacturers, has integrated EURC into its infrastructure. That means the stablecoin can now be spent at over 40 million global POS terminals.

A survey found that 58% of European institutions are incorporating stablecoins into their payment systems.

What the six-fold wallet growth actually tells us Wallet share tells you how many unique holders exist relative to the broader market. A six-fold increase in wallet share means EURC isn’t just attracting bigger deposits from the same whales. It’s reaching new users at a pace that dramatically outstrips the rest of the euro stablecoin field.

The supply tripling while wallet share grew six-fold suggests organic, grassroots-level adoption alongside big institutional inflows.

MiCA licenses aren’t exclusive, and competitors will eventually navigate the regulatory process. Tether has not signaled it’s giving up on Europe, and other issuers could emerge with their own EMI licenses.

Circle and INFINIOS team up on stablecoin infrastructure@circle and Bahrain-based fintech @InfiniosCom have signed a strategic agreement to expand stablecoin infrastructure across the Middle East. Under the agreement, INFINIOS will integrate with Circle's financial infrastructure, including $USDC, $EURC, and API-enabled onchain payment capabilities for payouts and treasury operations. The collaboration is designed to help INFINIOS deliver faster, more secure, and more globally interoperable digital payment and treasury solutions for businesses and financial institutions.

Through its integration with Circle's infrastructure, INFINIOS aims to support institutional and enterprise use cases including cross-border payments, treasury and liquidity management, and merchant settlement. The deal effectively plugs Circle's dollar and euro tokens into INFINIOS's existing payment and card stack, creating a regulated onramp for stablecoin-based finance in the Gulf.

INFINIOS is the first in the region to operate stablecoin settlements and is one of the largest regional issuers and processors of Virtual Commercial Cards. Formed in 2014, INFINIOS is licensed and regulated by the Central Bank of Bahrain as an Ancillary Services Provider, Payment Services Provider, and Card Processor. The deal pairs one of crypto's most prominent stablecoin issuers with a regional payments specialist that already holds principal membership with Mastercard.

A deepening push into Gulf marketsThe agreement is the latest move in Circle's broader regional strategy. The company incorporated an entity within the Abu Dhabi Global Market in late 2024, establishing a formal regulatory foothold. Circle previously formed a partnership with LuLu Financial Holdings to power USDC-based remittances in the region.

INFINIOS has also been building its stablecoin credentials ahead of this deal. In December 2025, INFINIOS partnered with Mastercard to adopt stablecoin settlement capabilities, specifically for $USDC and $EURC, focusing on enabling stablecoin-based funding and payments across the region. Bahrain itself has moved to create a clear legal framework for the asset class. The introduction of a licensing and regulatory framework for stablecoin issuers by the Central Bank of Bahrain signals a new era of legitimacy and regulatory clarity within the financial system, according to experts.

The Circle-INFINIOS tie-up reflects a broader race to wire Gulf payment infrastructure to stablecoin rails before the market matures. Tether has its own Middle Eastern ambitions, and local stablecoin projects are emerging as well. For Circle, securing a regulated, Mastercard-connected partner in Bahrain gives $USDC a meaningful distribution channel into a region that is moving quickly to embrace digital finance.

CertiK has exposed the deceptive tactics used by fraudsters to exploit its brand.

In the face of a rising tide of scams and exploits, even CertiK, a security firm that specializes in comprehensive security for blockchains, smart contracts, and Web3, is not immune. Scammers are targeting users by fraudulently latching on the company’s brand, which is dedicated to ensuring the security of digital assets and decentralized technologies.

In the latest blog post, CertiK revealed that it is facing a myriad of challenges beyond its primary focus on auditing. Among these challenges are scams that exploit the CertiK brand to spread misinformation and defraud users.

CertiK’s Struggle Against Brand Exploitation One prevalent scam involves phishing sites falsely claiming to have undergone CertiK audits. These fraudulent certifications are used to deceive users into investing in schemes like Wixpool, a fraudulent crypto-mining site. CertiK said it actively reports such sites to hosting providers for takedown, safeguarding users from financial losses.

Scammers perpetrate exit scams by falsely claiming to be audited by CertiK. The Lymex scam is a notable example, resulting in approximately $300,000 in losses. In its new report, CertiK emphasized the importance of verifying audit claims, as in the Lymex case, where no services were rendered due to failed KYC verification.

The rise of social media also gave scammers a platform to create fake profiles impersonating CertiK employees. Platforms like LinkedIn witness scammers brokering fake deals, presenting fraudulent investment opportunities, and even offering fake job positions. CertiK warns users to verify the legitimacy of interactions, citing an incident where a scammer on Telegram duped a project owner into transferring funds.

Bad actors target victims of investment fraud with recovery scams, offering to retrieve lost funds for an upfront fee. CertiK cautions users to be wary of such frauds, emphasizing that its genuine communication is through certik.com. The recovery service, while not guaranteed, involves engaging with relevant parties to retrieve assets potentially.

Bots on X Misinformation and bot activity on Twitter have wreaked havoc for several years, including until Elon Musk took over in October 2022. The subsequent rebranding to ‘X’ has done little to curb the scam bot activity that continues to be a major pain point.

The report highlighted the use of bots interacting with posts related to CertiK’s services, clarifying that the project is not affiliated with these posts and does not endorse them.

Binance announced its support for upcoming network upgrades and hard forks for Shentu (CTK) and Rootstock Infrastructure Framework (RIF). This initiative ensures Binance’s platform remains aligned with the latest developments of these blockchain networks, enhancing user experience.

Shentu (CTK) Network UpgradeThe Shentu (CTK) network upgrade and hard fork are planned to occur at block height 19,525,000. This is expected to happen on July 23, 2024, at 13:00 Turkey time.

In preparation for this event, Binance will suspend deposits and withdrawals for Shentu (CTK) tokens from 12:00 Turkey time on the same day. This temporary suspension allows Binance to make necessary adjustments and technical updates without disrupting user transactions during the upgrade process.

Important Announcement for RIFFollowing Shentu, the Rootstock Infrastructure Framework (RIF) network will undergo an upgrade and hard fork at block height 6,549,300. This is scheduled to take place on July 24, 2024, around 13:00 Turkey time.

Similarly, Binance will halt deposits and withdrawals for RIF tokens from 12:00 on that day. The pause will remain in effect until the upgrade is complete and network stability is confirmed, ensuring all technical requirements are met without compromising user security or functionality.

It is important to note that trading of Shentu (CTK) and Rootstock Infrastructure Framework (RIF) tokens will not be affected by these network upgrades. Binance assures users that all technical aspects related to these upgrades will be managed internally, ensuring a smooth transition without additional impact on trading activities. Deposits and withdrawals will resume once Binance verifies the stability of both networks post-upgrade.

Binance Supports Important Update and Hard Fork for Shentu Network

Binance Confirms Support for Shentu Network Upgrade Scheduled for July 22

Table of contents

Shentu Chain and CertiK this week unveiled OpenMath, billed as the world’s first mathematical DeSci platform, opening a new chapter where formal mathematics, verifiable computing and blockchain meet. The launch, announced in a joint release and amplified across social channels, positions OpenMath as a space where researchers and “provers” can raise, collaborate on and verify mathematical problems with solutions recorded immutably on-chain.

At the heart of OpenMath is formal verification: proofs and solutions submitted to the platform are checked using proof-assistant technology so that correctness can be mechanically verified rather than left to informal peer review. Shentu’s materials describe the system as integrating well-known formal tools such as Coq and Lean into a blockchain-native workflow, allowing theorems and their machine-checked proofs to be referenced, validated and preserved on the ledger.

A Natural Home for DeSci  OpenMath is deployed on Shentu Chain, a security-focused Layer-1 that traces its roots to CertiK and the formal-verification research community. The chain itself, rebranded as Shentu in 2021 after incubating out of CertiK, was developed with an explicit focus on verifiable computing and on-chain security tooling, making it a natural home for a DeSci experiment built around mathematical truth.

The platform’s architects say OpenMath was designed with collaboration and intellectual-property protection in mind: a two-phase submission process protects provers’ work while still allowing the global community to participate, validate and build on verified results. By recording provenance, review and verification steps on-chain, OpenMath aims to remove traditional institutional bottlenecks, ensure fair credit for contributors and speed the pace at which rigorous mathematical knowledge becomes discoverable and reusable.

OpenMath’s launch comes as Decentralized Science, or DeSci, gains momentum as an approach to democratizing how research is funded, published and validated. Advocates argue that decentralized networks can expand access, diversify funding mechanisms and make validation processes more transparent, goals that OpenMath explicitly mirrors by combining open access to verified results with on-chain traceability.

Shentu Chain and CertiK framed the release as the continuation of a shared mission to apply blockchain and formal verification to “real-world impact,” and they say further expansions are planned to let researchers tackle increasingly advanced problems and to broaden incentives within the OpenMath ecosystem. For now, the site and platform are live, inviting mathematicians, formal-methods researchers and the wider DeSci community to explore the new environment where mathematical truth becomes a verifiable, referenceable public good.
