S&P Global Ratings, the world’s leading provider of credit... ratings, benchmarks, and analytics referenced by 95% of the top 20 global institutional investors, has partnered with Chainlink to publish its Stablecoin Stability Assessments (SSAs) onchain for the first time through DataLink. Through this partnership, more than 2,400 institutions, protocols, and developers in the Chainlink ecosystem can now directly access these assessments across 40+ public and private blockchains. This milestone marks a major leap forward in the capital markets’ adoption of tokenized finance. As S&P Global increasingly moves onchain, the company brings with it: • Over 1 million credit ratings outstanding • 1,500+ credit analysts across 150+ countries • Ratings coverage for ~1 million securities • 4,600+ corporates rated globally The stablecoin market now exceeds $300 billion, nearly doubling from a year prior. With the passage of the GENIUS Act, the first U.S. federal regulatory framework for stablecoins, these digital assets are now positioned as core financial infrastructure for global payments, trade, and settlement. However, institutions seeking to integrate stablecoins require transparent, standardized, and verifiable onchain risk insights to do so responsibly. S&P Global Ratings’ SSAs fill that gap. These assessments evaluate a stablecoin’s ability to maintain parity with fiat currencies, scored from 1 (very strong) to 5 (weak), based on asset quality, governance, liquidity, redemption mechanisms, and track record. Chainlink infrastructure, which actively secures nearly $100 billion in DeFi TVL and has enabled more than $25 trillion in onchain transaction value, ensures these assessments are delivered with industry-standard reliability, security, and data integrity. This partnership signals the beginning of a new era in financial markets, where real-time, institutionally validated risk data becomes the foundational layer of onchain finance. Learn more:show more

Some cool projects in the RWA space and what... they actually do, educational only. Solana – home to over $1.1bn of real world assets onchain with 135k+ holders, according to Figure + Hastra – Figure tokenizes private credit such as HELOC loans into onchain yield products. Hastra distributes products like PRIME, a yield exposure backed by real-estate-linked mortgage loans. Securitize – Tokenization infrastructure. Helps asset managers and institutions issue real securities (funds, equity, debt) onchain in a compliant way. Soon to be launching tokenized stocks. Kamino – Solana lending and liquidity protocol. Increasingly a distribution layer for RWA yield products alongside crypto native markets. Can also be used to loop positions and increase APYs (with added risk). Maple – Onchain institutional credit markets. Lenders earn yield from real borrowers. One of the clearest bridges between TradFi credit and Defi. Pendle – Not an RWA issuer, but important. Pendle lets you split and trade yield itself, including yield generated from real world assets. @OndoFinance – Tokenized Treasuries, tokenized stocks, and public market exposure onchain. Focused on bringing familiar financial instruments onchain. OnRe – Onchain reinsurance. Yield comes from insurance premiums, not trading or leverage. A completely different risk profile to most Defi. RWA Foundation – Education, marketing, and ecosystem building. Not a product but more about helping people understand RWAs and how this sector fits together. PreStocks – Onchain price exposure to private companies (pre-IPO style), built on Solana. MAIV – Structured real world investments onchain. Focuses on tokenized contracts and cash flow deals. Investment platform + FLOW product (CBP). These are very brief overviews with limited detail. If something interests you, do your own research, read the docs, understand the risks, and decide for yourself.show more

A traveler taps her card at a market thousands... of miles from home. The payment feels instant, simple, straightforward. It’s not. Behind that tap, money may need to move across currencies, banks, payment providers, and borders. Traditional systems often require companies to park funds in local accounts before they are needed, leaving capital stagnant for long periods of time where it’s not able to earn a return or be put to work. Members of the Avalanche Payments Collective are building a more efficient global payments model, one that keeps capital productive up until the moment it needs to move. Here are five members working across different parts of cross-border payments and treasury infrastructure: Axiym provides payment and treasury infrastructure that helps institutions route liquidity and settle transactions without pre-funding every market. Its technology supported Hyundai Motor America’s stablecoin payment to its Mexico affiliate, completed on Avalanche in minutes instead of days. Nonco helps institutions exchange currencies and stablecoins by requesting prices directly from a network of professional liquidity providers. That gives them access to more competitive rates while allowing both sides of the transaction to settle together onchain. SMBC, Japan’s second-largest bank, is exploring stablecoin infrastructure for wholesale institutional payments. It is also working alongside MUFG and Mizuho on a potential yen-pegged stablecoin initiative built on Avalanche. StraitsX is working with KBank through Project BLOOM to develop payment infrastructure that can improve settlement across Southeast Asian corridors where moving money remains particularly slow and expensive. AeraTech helps multinational companies manage cash across subsidiaries, offset internal obligations, and settle inter-company payments without unnecessarily routing every transaction through external banks. These different companies all represent or engage with different parts of the payment and treasury stack. But they all have a shared goal: keep capital working longer, move it when it is needed, and make cross-border payments faster and more efficient. That is what the Avalanche Payments Collective is bringing together. Frictionless, borderless payments that really are instant, simple, and straightforward.show more

Swapper Finance is building one of the cleanest onboarding... experiences, connecting users to crypto rails through familiar payment flows. By partnering with Swapper Finance, Pi Squared is extending OmniSet into a real-world distribution layer, where fiat onramps, card payments, and everyday users can connect directly to a unified liquidity & settlement fabric. This integration brings together two complementary approaches: Swapper focuses on accessibility and user experience at the edge, while Pi Squared handles settlement, liquidity orchestration, and correctness under the hood. As OmniSet expands, integrations like Swapper show how the infrastructure can disappear from the user’s perspective, while still operating at internet speed, with verifiable guarantees.show more

Introducing Aviya - Institutional Credit on Hyperliquid. Aviya is... a private, compliance gated credit venue built on Hyperliquid, designed to extend structured credit access to institutional participants. The platform facilitates bilateral, fixed-rate financing, initially against HYPE collateral, with a roadmap to expand into additional asset classes over time. As capital allocators increasingly engage with on-chain markets, access to predictable, structured credit becomes a requirement. Aviya is designed to meet this demand by offering a more controlled alternative to fully permissionless lending systems, while still leveraging the efficiency and settlement advantages of Hyperliquid’s infrastructure. We view Aviya as a core component in the development of HyperLend as the credit layer of the Hyperliquid ecosystem, enabling capital formation, leverage, and structured financing across both native and future tokenized assets such as equities, commodities, fixed-income instruments and even the likes tokenised pre-IPO companies. Over time, Aviya will serve as a gateway for institutional credit into emerging on-chain markets, including real-world and tokenized financial assets. We are also pleased to deepen our collaboration with Hyperion, working together on institutional business development and capital formation. Aviya represents a continued step toward integrating credit natively into the broader Hyperliquid financial system. gLend.show more

Introducing Zest Protocol Stacks Vaults, Automated yield strategies for... Bitcoin-native finance. Launching alongside the stacks.btc Bitcoin Staking upgrade. Stacks Vaults mark the evolution of Zest Protocol from a lending market into yield infrastructure. Until now, earning optimised yield on Stacks meant actively managing positions across markets, moving collateral, monitoring rates, and rebalancing by hand. Stacks Vaults changes that: deposit a single asset, select a strategy, and the vault handles the mechanics in the background. This is the yield toolkit for Stacks. Every yield source in the ecosystem becomes a strategy that can be automated and offered as a single-deposit product. The first vault is a levered Bitcoin Staking vault, built around the liquid staking Bitcoin token Stacking DAO launches with the Stacks Bitcoin Staking upgrade. How the levered Bitcoin Staking vault works: 🟠 One deposit, one position. Deposit BTC, sBTC, or stBTC directly into the vault. You hold a single position while the strategy runs itself. 🟠 Automated leverage. The vault uses your stBTC as collateral to borrow sBTC, stakes the borrowed sBTC into stBTC, and repeats the process. Target yield: 6 to 8%, purely derived from Bitcoin Staking on Stacks. 🟠 Non-custodial. The vault contract can only execute strategy actions on Zest Protocol's lending markets. It cannot move funds anywhere else, and only the user can withdraw their position. No one, including Zest Protocol, can access vault assets. 🟠 Built on live lending markets. The vault runs on Zest Protocol's existing markets: two years in production, over a thousand liquidations processed without bad debt. 🟠 Continuous monitoring. Zest Protocol manages the strategy and monitors the position automatically. No manual rebalancing, no juggling markets. 🟠 First of many strategies. The stBTC looping vault is the first, not the last. STX-based strategies, stablecoin and credit-based strategies, and structured yield products can all be built on the same foundation. External curators will be able to manage their own strategies on Stacks Vaults. Lending markets were the foundation. Vaults are what gets built on top. Stacks Vaults launch alongside stBTC, right before Stacks Bitcoin Staking goes live. Note: Stacks Vaults are separate from Bitcoin Collateral Vaults, Zest Protocol's upcoming flagship product that allows users to borrow against native BTC on any chain (e.g. Ethereum). More updates on Bitcoin Collateral Vaults follow shortly. Follow Zest Protocol on X or subscribe to our newsletter to be notified when levered Bitcoin Staking goes live.show more

Today we’ve launched with support for Nanopayments powered by... Circle Gateway. The future won’t be funds stranded on the wrong chain. Before today, to send value on a destination chain, users (and agents) must first acquire gas on the source chain, then execute the transfer. This creates UI/UX friction. Now It’s one USDC balance, accessible across many meaningful networks where commerce happens. Nanopayments enables Agents to move value at micro and macro scale- from a paywalled article to something much larger. Now you can look forward to: + Instant verification that unlocks payments at machine speed + Batched USDC transferable across many chains with zero gas required from the sender. + Full interoperability with Circle’s infrastructure for secure, regulated, and transparent stablecoin rails. + Meridian’s proxy facilitator architecture and x402 payment protocol, enabling machine-to-machine commerce at internet speed.show more

Ripple Breaks Ground in the UAE, as RLUSD Becomes... the First U.S. 🇺🇸 Stablecoin Approved Under DFSA 🇦🇪Framework Ripple has officially become the first blockchain company to have its stablecoin RLUSD approved by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) for use within the prestigious Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). This marks a historic inflection point in the evolution of global stablecoin regulation and sets a bold precedent for the industry. For the first time, a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin is fully licensed under a Gulf state’s comprehensive virtual asset regulatory regime, unlocking real world use cases across the Middle East’s most advanced financial sandbox. RLUSD can now be integrated into Ripple’s DFSA approved payment infrastructure, as well as deployed by banks, fintechs, and asset managers operating in the DIFC. The UAE, particularly Duba, has positioned itself as a forward thinking digital finance hub, balancing innovation with regulatory oversight. With this approval, RLUSD becomes a compliant liquidity vehicle in a region increasingly looking to bypass outdated correspondent banking systems. It can now power real estate tokenization; as seen with the Dubai Land Department, crossborder payments, merchant settlements, and enterprise treasury flows, all while leveraging XRPL Ripple’s regulatory win sends a powerful message to global players “the path forward isn’t through avoidance, it’s through alignment.” As the UAE becomes a proving ground for regulated stablecoin deployment, other jurisdictions may follow suit, especially those seeking to integrate blockchain without surrendering compliance. This raises the bar for all stablecoin issuers. RLUSD isn’t algorithmic, opaque, or dependent on walled off ecosystems, it’s interoperable, regulated in both the U.S. (via NYDFS) and Dubai, and deeply embedded in XRP Ledger infrastructure. It now stands as the gold standard for stablecoins used in institutional grade finance. RLUSD is the on-ramp. XRP is the engine. As RLUSD flows into corridors like UAE - India, UAE - Africa, and UAE - Europe, XRP becomes the bridge asset to handle illiquid pair conversions and global net settlement. Every RLUSD transaction that hits an exotic corridor where the stablecoin lacks liquidity is an invitation for XRP to step in and close the gap via On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) and decentralized market making. As real estate, commodities, and government-backed tokenization schemes roll out across the jurisdiction XRP gains transactional volume, liquidity demand, and regulatory tailwinds. The DeepFreeze amendment and compliance frameworks coming online only reinforce XRPL’s role as the programmable settlement layer for tokenized finance. SMQKE had shown that 5400 currencies have been issued on the XRPLshow more

What is Plume Network? Plume (Plume) is a blockchain... built specifically for bringing real-world assets onchain and making them usable in DeFi. Unlike blockchains that treat tokenization as just another application, Plume is building an entire financial ecosystem around real-world assets, or RWAs. Treasuries, private credit, commodities, funds, and other traditionally illiquid assets can be represented as blockchain-based assets and then used across decentralized financial applications. Plume calls this model RWAfi, or real-world asset finance. So what makes Plume different? (1) ) It is purpose-built for RWAs Plume launched its Genesis mainnet in June 2025 as a permissionless blockchain designed around RWA finance. In October 2025, Plume was approved by the SEC as a registered transfer agent, a regulatory step most general-purpose chains don't hold. The network is EVM-compatible, allowing developers to use familiar Ethereum tooling while accessing lower-cost execution. (2) It focuses on more than tokenization. Plume wants tokenized assets to actually do something once they reach the blockchain. Its ecosystem allows RWA-backed assets to be used for lending, borrowing, trading, staking and yield strategies. Its flagship Nest protocol, for example, lets users gain exposure to institutional-backed assets through yield-bearing RWA positions that can then become useful across DeFi. (3) Compliance is built into the infrastructure. Real-world assets come with regulations, investor restrictions and identity requirements that ordinary DeFi tokens usually do not face. Plume has therefore built compliance and screening capabilities directly into its network rather than treating them as an afterthought. Its blockchain includes protocol-level AML, ATF and sanctions screening infrastructure. (4) It is trying to make institutional assets composable. A tokenized Treasury or private credit position does not have to sit idle in a wallet. The goal is to make these assets usable across different financial applications, similar to how USDC, ETH and other crypto assets move through DeFi today. Plume's Portal already allows users to swap, lend, borrow, loop and earn against RWA-backed assets. (5) Plume is also building cross-chain infrastructure. Its SkyLink infrastructure is designed to distribute RWA yields across other blockchain networks. That means Plume does not necessarily need every investor to move onto Plume itself. Instead, the network can act as infrastructure for bringing institutional yield into other ecosystems. (6) The network has attracted major institutional names. Apollo Global Management, WisdomTree, Hamilton Lane and Securitize are among the institutions connected to Plume's ecosystem. Securitize, for example, announced plans to deploy assets through Plume's Nest protocol, linking institutional tokenization infrastructure with Plume's RWA holder base. So where does PLUME fit in? $PLUME is the network's native token. It can be used for gas, staking, governance, collateral and ecosystem access. Plume also says protocol fees can eventually support token buybacks, ecosystem incentives and further network growth. Plume is betting that the next major phase of crypto adoption will not only involve digital-native assets. It will involve putting traditional financial assets onchain and making them programmable. The challenge is turning that vision into deep liquidity, compliant infrastructure and genuine demand. If Plume can solve those problems, it could become an important piece of the infrastructure connecting traditional finance with DeFi.show more

🚩Indians are sharing an extract of Modhi’s speech in... Auckland yesterday where he announces that the NZ - India agreement includes connecting UPI while Luxon the stammering piglet looks on lovingly. The UPI (Unified Payments Interface) is an instant, real-time payment system developed by India for the diaspora to use to transfer funds directly between bank accounts using a UPI ID (linked to Indias Digital ID system called Aadhaaar) This will also allow remittances to increase, which hit $ US 135 billion world wide last year. Indian remittances from NZ is currently 0.25% of our GDP, this will accelerate quickly with more indians coming to NZ. Remember according to our own treasury report, this garbage FTA is only expected to increase our GDP by 0.7% …. and - AFTER 15 - 20 years ! Over the last decade India has assiduously worked to develop international payment gateways, and Modhi has made no secret of his ambition for India to be the architect of a global money network. Read the attached post for more detail on UPI’s and also the clause in the NZ- India FTA where Te Gimp has negotiated a joint venture with India to develop CBDC… yes the most corrupt nation on earth will design our dystopian Central Bank Digital Currency.show more
