Offering ~8% Target APY and Instant T+0 Liquidity with an Initial $10M Capacity Cap
Singapore, October 1, 2026 —TopNod has integrated Axil Pot (APT), a new on-chain yield vault curated by Axil, now accessible directly through TopNod Wallet. Targeting an estimated ~8% APY alongside T+0/T+7 liquidity options for everyday capital needs, the vault opens with an initial $10 million capacity cap, letting users put idle on-chain capital to work without lock-up periods—keeping their capital accessible whenever they need it.
Modeled after the everyday cash-management tools popularized by fintech super-apps similar to Apple Savings, the integration brings a familiar cash-sweep experience on-chain, allowing idle digital assets to generate daily yield while staying liquid.
In mainstream finance, users are used to a simple standard for cash management: park unused balances into a liquid money market account that earns daily yield, while keeping those funds instantly available for spending or trading.
Axil brings this exact model on-chain, with TopNod serving as the primary user gateway. Through TopNod Wallet, users can allocate idle on-chain capital into APT to capture an estimated ~8% APY without committing to fixed lock-up windows, and withdraw their positions on demand.
For TopNod, the launch is a practical step toward making on-chain finance useful for everyday users. By stripping away complex multi-step Web3 operations, TopNod gives users a clean, self-custodial interface to access institutional-grade yield strategies in a few taps.
Behind the wallet interface, APT is structured and curated by Axil with a clear mandate: balancing sustainable yield with strict security and reliable liquidity.
“Our goal is to help users capture reliable on-chain yield within a highly secure framework without sacrificing liquidity,” said the Axil team.
To deliver on this, Axil uses a tiered liquidity framework. By dynamically maintaining a risk curation framework combining dedicated on-chain liquidity buffer alongside short-duration liquid assets, APT supports instant T+0 withdrawal option (with a maximum cap which will refresh on a daily basis) for everyday cash needs, while handling larger withdrawals through standard settlement windows. To ensure optimal risk calibration and maintain consistent liquidity reserves, the strategy launches with an initial $10 million deposit ceiling, with phased capacity expansions planned for future tranches.
The on-chain yield sector is moving past rigid staking lock-ups and complex DeFi mechanics toward practical financial solutions built around daily capital needs. Rather than leaving stablecoins or digital assets sitting idle in a wallet, users want a flexible way to keep their balances working between trades or expenses, while retaining the autonomy and transparency of Web3 world.
Through this collaboration, TopNod empowers a straightforward workflow for idle on-chain liquidity with Axil’s offering: users may deposit, view yields generated, and access liquidity with an intuitive interface. As more curated vault strategies launch on-chain, TopNod will continue expanding its technology integration with simple, one-click access to next-generation financial solutions.
The initial $10 million tranche of Axil Pot (APT) is now open on a first-come, first-served basis via TopNod Wallet.
(Disclaimer: TopNod is a non-custodial wallet platform providing interface access to third-party on-chain protocols. APT is structured and curated independently by Axil. APY figures are variable estimates and not guaranteed. T+0 withdrawal is subject to daily liquidity buffer limits; larger withdrawals follow standard settlement schedules. Initial deposit capacity is capped at $10 million and subject to change at the curator’s discretion.)
About TopNodTopNod is a self-custodial wallet built with security and simplicity. Powered by key sharding and TEE technology, TopNod provides institutional-grade security without the complexity of managing access codes. TopNod offers a “seedless” experience that makes owning and transacting digital assets as straightforward as using mainstream internet apps. By integrating with trusted third-party providers, TopNod offers seamless access to a wide range of established, liquid digital assets.

Mutsamudu, Comoros, October 1, 2026 – MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, today announced the addition of another 1,000 BTC to its Guardian Fund, marking the second major BTC allocation to the fund this year. The latest addition follows MEXC’s May commitment to expand the Guardian Fund from $100 million to $500 million over two years, further strengthening the fund to keep pace with changing market conditions, security risks, and broader user protection needs.
Following the latest allocation, the Guardian Fund now comprises 100 million USDT and 2,000 BTC, further strengthening MEXC’s user protection reserves as the digital asset industry continues to face evolving security risks. A series of security incidents across the industry has highlighted the changing risk landscape facing crypto platforms and users. Recent attacks have again demonstrated that security threats are not static, and that user protection requires ongoing investment in capital reserves, technology, and risk-management infrastructure.
MEXC’s first 1,000 BTC allocation in May established Bitcoin as a long-term reserve component of the Guardian Fund alongside liquid USDT reserves. The latest addition marks the next stage of that strategy, reflecting MEXC’s approach to treating user protection as a continuously reinforced system rather than a reserve established at a single point in time. MEXC will continue strengthening the fund as its global user base, asset coverage, and operating environment grow and change.
MEXC has made its Guardian Fund holdings publicly traceable on-chain through disclosed wallet addresses, enabling users to independently verify the reserves. The additional BTC further strengthens the fund as MEXC continues working toward its $500 million target while investing in security, transparency, and risk-management infrastructure designed to protect users over the long term.
“Security and user protection is not a one-time investment. It is a continuous commitment,” said Vugar Usi, CEO of MEXC. “The risks facing digital asset platforms continue to evolve, and the resources behind user protection need to evolve with them. Adding another 1,000 BTC to the Guardian Fund reflects our long-term approach to building stronger protection for users and ensuring that the infrastructure behind that protection continues to grow with MEXC.”
Founded in 2018, MEXC is a leading global multi-asset trading platform built as your 0-fee gateway to infinite opportunities. Serving users across 170+ markets, MEXC provides simple and efficient access to crypto, stocks, tokenized assets, derivatives, and a growing range of TradFi-linked opportunities through one account and one gateway.
With 0 trading fees, deep liquidity, broad asset coverage, and a high-performance trading experience, MEXC is designed for retail users who want to discover earlier, act faster, and trade with fewer barriers. As crypto and traditional finance continue to converge, MEXC is committed to making global opportunities more accessible, helping users trade freely and MEXCmize every opportunity.

Cardano’s native cryptocurrency posted an impressive 23% price increase over the past month and is currently trading just under $0.25.
Many analysts expect October to bring further gains, but Ali Martinez outlined several important factors that could trigger a short-term pullback.
The popular X user started his analysis by noting that demand for ADA in the futures market is cooling. He said open interest has declined 9% over the last week, from almost $2 billion to about $1.81 billion.
“This suggests traders are reducing leveraged exposure,” he explained.
Martinez then turned to whale activity, which should serve as a clear bearish signal. According to him, large investors have offloaded 90 million tokens (worth around $22.5 million) since September 20, adding to the recent selling pressure.
His third negative factor is the Tom DeMark Sequential indicator, which flashed a sell signal on ADA’s daily chart on September 26. Martinez noted that the asset’s valuation has plunged 10% since then and hinted that the correction may not be over yet.
Subsequently, the market observer focused on $0.24, calling it the key mid-range support. He believes that losing that level could lead to a further drop to $0.21. At the same time, holding the lower boundary could present the next buying opportunity, targeting the channel top near $0.28.
ADA’s seasonality should also be mentioned. Unlike BTC, which often thrives in October, Cardano’s native token has historically underperformed during this period, finishing in the red six times over the past nine years.

Recently, Brazil’s state oil giant Petrobras reportedly tapped the Cardano blockchain to verify environmental data related to low-carbon fuels.
Several popular X users quickly reposted the development, including TMA | The Money Ape. They suggested that “Cardano real-world use case is here,” reminding that ADA skyrocketed by over 17,000% during the 2021 bull run.
Another market observer who envisioned a major rally is JAVON MARKS. Earlier this month, they said that ADA appears to have “based” just like in 2020 before a massive price increase. That said, the analyst expects another “monstrous run” and set $2.90 as a target.

Crypto may have benefited from the failure of the US CLARITY Act, according to Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan.
The CLARITY Act failed to get the 60 votes needed to move forward in the US Senate after years of negotiations. But instead of hurting the crypto market, its failure was followed by a strong rally across several digital assets.
Both Bitcoin and Ethereum rose about 11% after the vote. Some other tokens posted much bigger gains. NEAR jumped 125%, Uniswap rose 49%, and Avalanche gained 44%, according to Hougan. The reaction may seem surprising because the crypto industry had strongly supported the bill. Hougan said the industry wanted the legal certainty that CLARITY promised. But added that the final version also included several compromises that could have created new restrictions for crypto companies.
One major area is stablecoins. The exec explained that the proposed legislation would have restricted platforms from paying customers interest or rewards on stablecoin balances. With the bill now stalled, existing stablecoin rules remain in place. Hougan said this could benefit companies such as Coinbase, which use stablecoin rewards to attract users.
CLARITY would have created a national licensing system for spot crypto exchanges. It also could have placed limits on the way exchanges combine trading and brokerage services. With the bill gone, established exchanges such as Coinbase and Kraken avoid those changes for now.
Instead of waiting for new legislation and lengthy studies, the SEC recently allowed certain tokenized US stocks to trade through blockchain-based systems under temporary rules, which, according to Hougan, could give tokenization companies a chance to test the technology in real markets sooner.
Revenue-generating tokens are another area that has benefited from clearer regulatory guidance. Several tokens, including NEAR and Uniswap, have gained strongly while using protocol revenue for token buybacks. The SEC has also clarified that, once a blockchain network is functional, announcing a buyback program does not by itself turn a token into a security.
There is still a major risk as regulation can change when a new administration takes office. A future SEC or CFTC leadership could take a tougher approach to crypto. Despite this, Hougan expects “crypto to be too big to crush.”
Michael Saylor, co-founder and former CEO of Strategy, also sees the failure differently. He recently argued that crypto may be better served by working with supportive regulators at the SEC, CFTC, Treasury, and banking agencies than accepting the restrictions included in the bill’s final version.
Saylor believes the sector should use the next few years to build compliant crypto products under existing rules instead of rushing to accept a compromise simply to get legislation passed. His focus is on products that can lower costs, expand access, and give users more control over their money.

The XRP Ripple RLUSD stablecoin has reached roughly $2.4Bn in market capitalization, with stablecoins gaining another source of dollar liquidity for digital-asset markets.
In a September 30 update, Ripple senior vice president of stablecoins Jack McDonald said RLUSD had grown more than 50% in a month and that average daily activity had more than tripled since the start of the year.
The $RLUSD monthly independent attestation for August is now live! And your quick rundown of the latest…
1/ $RLUSD continues to climb, reaching ~$2.4B in market cap, up more than 50% in a month. What’s more exciting… average daily activity has more than tripled since the start…
— Jack McDonald (@_JackMcDonald_) September 30, 2026
Ripple’s transparency dashboard listed $2.409Bn in circulating tokens against $2.5315Bn in reserve funds as of September 24. The figures show the scale of the dollar-linked token, but its expanding supply does not by itself establish higher demand for XRP or a higher XRP price.
RLUSD’s growth also comes with distribution across the Ethereum network and the XRP Ledger (XRPL), Ripple’s public network for transferring assets. The expansion may add liquidity and more settlement activity across those networks, while the investment case for XRP remains distinct from the stablecoin’s dollar-pegged function.

(RWA.xyz)
The September 24 dashboard snapshot records circulating RLUSD and reserve funds at different amounts, with reserves about $122.5M above circulation. That comparison is specific to that date; it should not be merged with the separate August attestation, which covers earlier snapshots.
For August 31, the independent attestation recorded 2,325,969,308 outstanding tokens and reserve assets valued at $2,446,312,864, roughly $120.3M above the token amount. The examination, dated September 29, covered August 17 and August 31. Ripple’s transparency dashboard publishes monthly reserve reports, giving readers dated figures rather than a single undifferentiated balance.
RLUSD is designed to track the U.S. dollar. Reserve backing and redemption mechanisms help support that target: in practical terms, reserves provide assets intended to support tokens in circulation and their exchange for dollars.
Ripple issues RLUSD through its subsidiary, Standard Custody & Trust Company, regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services. RLUSD’s backing is separate from the issuer’s property, protecting the assets supporting the tokens.
As of September, RLUSD had a market cap of approximately $2.4Bn, with around $1.37Bn on Ethereum and $1.05Bn on the XRP Ledger. This expansion lets businesses use digital dollars for invoicing and settlements without relying on unstable cryptocurrencies.
In its first week on Spark’s Stablecoin FX Layer on Uniswap v4, RLUSD/USDS processed over $600M. The updated XRP Ledger AI Starter Kit allows AI agents to make one-time payments using XRP or RLUSD. While this boosts liquidity and usage, it doesn’t guarantee increased demand or value for XRP, as RLUSD is designed to maintain a dollar value, distinct from XRP’s fluctuating market price.

Bitcoin (BTC USD) and the broader crypto market could eventually command a $120 trillion market capitalization if it captures 10% of a global asset pool, according to Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor.
Bitcoin is trading just above $83,000.10, down -0.5% over 24 hours. The arithmetic is straightforward, but the starting measure, definition of global assets, and adoption assumption leave important questions open.
Saylor described Bitcoin as entering “hyper-growth mode” and framed the opportunity as a BTC gold rush. The central tension is that his comparison starts with the roughly $3 trillion crypto economy, not Bitcoin’s market capitalization alone, while the projected destination is Bitcoin’s potential share of a much broader asset pool.
JUST IN: BILLIONAIRE MICHAEL SAYLOR JUST SAID #BITCOIN IS ENTERING "HYPER-GROWTH MODE" RIGHT NOW
"WE'RE IN A BTC GOLD RUSH"
"TOTAL GLOBAL ASSETS ARE WORTH $1200 TRILLION"
"IF WE GET TO 10%, WE ARE GOING FROM $3 TRILLION TO $120 TRILLION"
NEW ALL TIME-HIGHS, ITS COMING
pic.twitter.com/qHcaj9MwwJ
— The Bitcoin Historian (@pete_rizzo_) September 29, 2026
The calculation has two parts. Saylor puts the value of all other assets at $1,000 trillion to $1,200 trillion; a 10% share of that range equals $100 trillion to $120 trillion. The headline figure uses the upper end: 10% of $1,200 trillion is $120 trillion.
He then compares that outcome with a crypto-economy starting figure of about $3 trillion, describing the move to $120 trillion as a 40-fold increase. That multiplier is arithmetically correct, but it does not make the two figures interchangeable: the $3 trillion figure covers the crypto economy broadly and is not identified as Bitcoin’s market capitalization by itself.
That distinction matters for readers interpreting the headline as a Bitcoin-specific forecast. Saylor’s scenario links a broad crypto starting point to BTC USD potentially taking a slice of global assets; the primary account does not spell out how the starting figure maps onto Bitcoin alone.
Nor does a projected market capitalization mean that $120 trillion in cash must flow into Bitcoin. Market capitalization values the outstanding supply at the marginal market price.
Saylor has previously made bold projections, including predicting Bitcoin could reach a $100 trillion market cap and set a $21 million long-term price target by 2046. While his views reflect a consistent bullish outlook, they don’t confirm the current $120 trillion scenario.
His scarcity argument suggests that by 2035, 99% of BTC USD will be mined, with the final 1% taking another century. This scarcity narrative supports potential value appreciation but doesn’t ensure future demand.
Saylor’s company, Strategy, is the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, having accumulated 847,666 BTC worth about $70.4Bn, funded through debt and equity raises. However, one company’s holdings don’t guarantee that global investors will mirror this approach.
Saylor likens Bitcoin to digital gold, noting gold’s 2% annual supply growth contrasts with Bitcoin’s capped supply. While this comparison supports his preference, it doesn’t clarify how much of the world’s wealth fits into the projected $100 trillion to $120 trillion total.

(SOURCE: CoinGecko)
EXCLUSIVE: Earn $50 With EdgeX and Enter $300K Prize DrawThe key unknown is the asset denominator; Saylor provides a broad estimate of global assets without defining them or offering independent verification. A different asset pool could yield a different 10% outcome.
The second uncertainty lies in the starting point: the $3 trillion refers to the crypto economy, while the focus is on BTC USD. The third uncertainty is adoption; the calculations show what could happen if Bitcoin captures 10% of the upper estimate, but they don’t guarantee it will.
Saylor argues that Bitcoin’s limited supply could attract capital from other assets. Readers should recognize that the $120 trillion figure is based on his assumptions and not a confirmed target; the real question is whether those assumptions hold true.

TOKEN2049 is one of the crypto industry's largest annual conferences, drawing global founders, investors and builders. This year's Singapore edition runs October 7-8, and alongside the main programme, a wave of side events fills the surrounding days, including one from ChangeNOW.
The new report maps the illicit and legitimate uses of crypto privacy tools, drawing on data from TRM Labs, Chainalysis, the RAND Corporation, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Statista, and U.S. Treasury Department disclosures. It argues that the current regulatory focus is aimed at the wrong layer of the transaction stack.
Caroline Crenshaw’s departure from the SEC on January 2 marks a turning point for crypto regulation in Washington. The longtime cryptocurrency skeptic’s exit leaves the commission operating under a 3-0 Republican majority—a historic shift that clears the way for Paul Atkins’ pro-innovation agenda to move forward without meaningful internal opposition.
Crenshaw spent over a decade at SEC agency, consistently raising concerns about cryptocurrencies, digital assets and investor protection.
Her exit coincides with the broader regulatory reorganization under the Trump administration, which has explicitly positioned itself to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the world.”
The commission now operates with fewer members than authorized, as Trump hasn’t yet filled the vacant seats—a strategic pause that effectively gives the Republican-majority commissioners free rein on policy.
The timing couldn’t be sharper. SEC Chair Paul Atkins has already signaled plans to introduce an “innovation exemption” that would let crypto startups test new products under lighter regulatory requirements, provided they meet basic consumer protections. [3][7] That proposal was expected within 30 days of December 2, meaning it could arrive any moment. With Crenshaw gone, there’s no institutional voice pushing back on the exemption’s scope or implementation details.
The broader regulatory picture is also shifting. The Senate is scheduled to hold hearings in January on the CLARITY Act—landmark legislation designed to end years of turf warfare between the SEC and CFTC by clearly dividing jurisdiction over different crypto products. [3][7] White House crypto adviser David Sacks said in December the bill is “closer to passage than at any point in the past.” [3] These aren’t minor procedural tweaks. They represent a fundamental reordering of how Washington approaches digital assets.
The real action starts immediately. Watch for the innovation exemption announcement—it could drop with minimal fanfare. Then track the Senate hearings on CLARITY in January. If that bill moves to a floor vote and passes, the crypto industry will have concrete answers about regulatory jurisdiction for the first time in years. Markets have been pricing in regulatory clarity for months. Crenshaw’s departure removes one of the last obstacles to delivering on it.

PEPE just ripped 26% higher on January 2, hitting $0.000005106 as trading volume exploded past $800 million.
That’s no thin pump—retail’s back, Robinhood holders sitting on 8.3% of supply, and a Hyperliquid whale named James Wynn dropped a bombshell prediction: $69 billion market cap by end-2026. If you’re trading memes, this is your wake-up call. Why now? New year FOMO meets bold calls in a market where BTC chills at $88k.

PEPE’s ERC-20 on Ethereum. No fancy DeFi twist here—just pure meme liquidity. Volume spiked 370-400% in 24 hours, open interest jumped 82% to $446.5 million on derivatives. RSI hit 67, screaming bullish momentum after breaking $0.0000042 resistance.
Whales aren’t dumping. That official “We ride at dawn” tweet lit socials on fire—crypto Twitter’s buzzing. Supply’s fixed at 420.69 trillion tokens. If Wynn’s right, that’s $0.000164 per PEPE. Math checks out. But Ethereum gas? Still a killer for small trades.
Total crypto cap up 1.07% to $2.99T. BTC +1.21% at $88,765, dominance slipping to 59.22%—alts eating its lunch. PEPE led top gainers, outpacing Story (+25%) and Mog. Volumes hit $164B market-wide. No massive liqs reported, but meme sector OI surging means leveraged degens are in.
BTC’s post-halving year ended red for first time ever—down 6% in 2025 despite $126k ATH. ETFs pulled $348M, but macro liquidity rules now. PEPE doesn’t care—it’s riding retail hype while big boys consolidate.
James Wynn, that Hyperliquid ser, straight-up said PEPE hits top meme status like SHIB did last cycle—if bull market holds. “We ride at dawn” from @pepe went viral. Community’s pumping: “PEPE to the moon” threads everywhere. No official team—it’s anon dev vibes.
Exchanges? Volumes exploding on Binance, MEXC. No rugs spotted. Traders on X calling for $0.000026 ATH retest. Sarcasm alert: Great timing for memes while BTC whales accumulate quietly. Holders care about flips, not halving myths.
But is this sustainable? Meme pumps fade fast.
Don’t get rekt. PEPE’s been rugged before—no premine, but watch whale wallets. Use hardware for big bags; software wallets fine for sub-$1k. Check Etherscan for suspicious transfers. Avoid leverage over 5x—OI spike means liqs incoming on pullbacks.
Actionable: Set stops below $0.0000042. DCA if you believe Wynn. DYOR on Hyperliquid perps for leverage without CEX KYC. Phishing’s rampant post-pumps—double-check links. If you’re aping memes, keep it under 5% portfolio. Skin in the game matters, but don’t YOLO rent money.
$0.000005 close today flips structure fully bullish. Watch BTC dominance drop—alts feast. Wynn’s $69B? Ballsy. If ETH L2s cut fees, PEPE volumes could 10x. Macro: Fed liquidity print January 2nd might juice risk assets.
Pullback to $0.0000045? Buy dip. Break $0.000006? Targets $0.00001 easy. Meme season back? You tell me. Trade smart—2026’s rewriting rules.

Singapore was the largest crypto economy in Central & Southeast Asia and Oceania in the year to 30 June, Chainalysis said on Wednesday.
Its crypto activity grew 55.4% to US$284 billion (AU$409 billion) over that period, according to the blockchain analytics firm’s regional report. The region as a whole contracted 6.8%.

Much of Singapore’s growth came from institutional platforms. Their activity rose 94% to US$60 billion (AU$86.4 billion). That compares with growth of 19% for the rest of the region and 15% for the rest of the world.
Chainalysis said a small number of market makers, over-the-counter trading firms and institutional brokerages handled much of that activity. Beyond institutional platforms, flows into Singapore’s centralised exchanges rose 30%, and flows into decentralised exchanges climbed 69%.
Daniel Yang, head of compliance at Singapore trading firm QCP Group, told Chainalysis the city-state has strengthened its digital asset rules step by step. He pointed to its Digital Payment Token licensing regime and its stablecoin framework.
Singapore also took in more cross-border crypto than it sent. Its cumulative net inflow reached about US$5 billion (AU$7.2 billion) by mid-2026.
Australia was the region’s second-largest crypto economy at US$173.1 billion (AU$249.3 billion). Its total activity fell 5.6%, largely on a drop in decentralised exchange flows.
Institutional-platform activity moved the other way, rising 33.3% to US$39.92 billion (AU$57.5 billion). Those platforms took 24.8% of all service inflows in Australia. Market makers accounted for 35% of the institutional inflows, and custody and collateral providers for 26%.
BTC Markets head of risk and compliance Nicolas Gilardi credited a boom in products that suit traditional investors, such as retirement accounts and ETFs. “The defining shift in 2026 is that crypto stopped being a retail story. 2025 was about who was buying”, he said.
Digital Economy Council of Australia CEO Amy-Rose Goodey pointed to two rules that have lifted institutional confidence. One is the 2026 expansion of anti-money laundering rules to more crypto providers. The other is ASIC’s licensing regime for digital asset and tokenised custody platforms, due to start in 2027.
Ahead of that regime, crypto businesses relying on ASIC’s no-action relief had until 30 September to apply for an Australian financial services licence.
Chainalysis counted about 2 million cross-border stablecoin transfers from Australia in 2025–26, up from roughly 100,000 in 2021–22. Their value reached slightly more than US$3 billion (AU$4.3 billion) over the same year. Bitcoin transfers fell to just over 1 million from their 2023–24 peak.
Across the region, cross-border stablecoin activity exceeded domestic activity in every market the firm analysed.

Standard Chartered began research coverage of Ethena (ENA) on Wednesday, forecasting the token will reach US$2 (AU$2.88) by the end of 2028.
That target is about seven times the US$0.28 (AU$0.40) price cited in the bank’s note, dated 30 September. The bank’s year-end forecasts put ENA at US$0.42 (AU$0.60) for 2026 and US$1.10 (AU$1.58) for 2027. ENA traded near US$0.27 (AU$0.39) on Thursday, according to CoinGecko.
The bank said ENA’s gain would outpace its projected price gains for Bitcoin and Ether. It opened coverage of Aave with a US$3,500 (AU$5,040) target for 2030 in June and Morpho at US$60 (AU$86) by the end of 2030 in July.

The bank’s case rests on USDe, Ethena’s synthetic dollar. It estimates USDe outstanding could reach US$40 billion (AU$57.6 billion) by end-2028.
Standard Chartered ranks Ethena as the fourth-largest stablecoin issuer, behind Tether, Circle and Sky. It says USDe, launched in late 2023, was the fastest stablecoin to reach a US$10 billion (AU$14.4 billion) market value.
USDe first earned its yield from the crypto basis trade, holding spot tokens against short perpetual futures. That trade paid more than 20% at times, the note says. Ethena has since added real-world assets and basis trades on equity perpetuals to the backing. The bank expects tokenised real-world assets on blockchains to reach US$2 trillion (AU$2.88 trillion) by end-2028.
Ethena posted the note’s first page on X on Wednesday, reading the forecast as roughly eightfold USDe growth in two years.
Unclear why they are so bearish, but worth a read regardless.

The note says Ethena has started a buyback-and-burn programme that will direct 95% of net revenue to ENA. The bank expects those buybacks to become significant as USDe scales.
Under Ethena’s governance proposal, buybacks begin only when USDe circulating supply reaches a first milestone of US$7.5 billion (AU$10.8 billion). CoinGecko showed about 4.87 billion USDe in circulation on Thursday.
The share of protocol revenue directed to buybacks starts at 5% at that milestone and rises to 25% once supply reaches US$25 billion (AU$36 billion). That schedule passed a tokenholder vote, Ethena’s governance forum confirmed on 8 September.
SEC staff addressed token buybacks in a 25 September FAQ, saying a buyback alone does not make a working network’s token a security.

NEAR’s new US ETF is facing its first stress test days after launch as a $3.8 million ecosystem exploit hit the token.
NEAR fell about 10% to $4.86 after NEAR Intents disclosed a security incident involving its Omni deposit-and-withdrawal infrastructure. The selloff came less than two days after Bitwise opened the token to US exchange-traded fund investors through its NEAR ETF, with the ticker NRR.
The fund began trading on NYSE Arca on Sept. 29 and attracted $35.5 million of net inflows on its first day. By Sept. 30, cumulative inflows had risen to over $50 million, while total net assets reached $52.8 million, equivalent to about 0.76% of NEAR’s market capitalization, according to SoSoValue data.
That timing gives the newly launched product an unusually early test of investor conviction. The ETF protects buyers from the operational burden of wallets, private keys, and direct staking, but its value still moves with NEAR, leaving shareholders exposed when problems elsewhere in the ecosystem undermine confidence in the token.
In an X statement, NEAR Intents said it temporarily halted services after detecting what it described as a bug in the interaction between its Omni infrastructure and the Intents smart contract.
The preliminary loss was about $3.8 million, and the project said it would fully compensate affected users. The team patched the contract vulnerability, and NEAR Intents and near.com resumed operations after a temporary suspension.

Some deposit and withdrawal routes remained unavailable for longer while the team completed fixes to Omni infrastructure covering networks including BSC, Polygon, TON, Optimism, Avalanche, Stellar and Scroll.
NEAR co-founder Illia Polosukhin said the exploit was isolated to USDT on BSC and that NEAR Intents’ SHIELD security system detected unusual activity before pausing services. He said the team identified and fixed the vulnerability within an hour.
The base NEAR blockchain continued operating throughout the incident. NEAR Protocol said the exploit did not involve a vulnerability in the network or the native NEAR token, and that block production and transaction processing continued without interruption.
That separation limits the direct operational impact on Bitwise’s ETF, which holds exposure to NEAR rather than assets deposited through NEAR Intents. The market reaction nevertheless shows how quickly application-level failures can feed through to an asset newly packaged for traditional investors.
The Intents business is also large enough to make the incident more than a peripheral ecosystem problem. Polosukhin said the service now processes more than $4 billion a month in trading and payments volume, positioning it as one of NEAR’s major connections to other chains and applications.
The team has reported the incident to law enforcement and is working with blockchain analytics and security firms to trace the stolen funds. A fuller postmortem is expected in the coming days.
Polosukhin said the ecosystem plans to expand its use of formal verification and other security tools after the breach, including work already underway on a verification system for NEAR smart contracts.
He stated:
“The crypto space is entering a new era of far more sophisticated cyber attacks. Recently, we have seen BitGet, Metamask, Lido all being targeted by criminals equipped with AI systems that are continuously trying to hack all infrastructure. As a space, we need to be far more vigilant and raise the bar on both onchain contract standards and offchain monitoring and proactive prevention.”
The price decline also landed in a market whose speculative positioning had already changed substantially before NRR began trading.
Blockchain analysis firm Santiment said NEAR-denominated futures open interest peaked at roughly 215 million NEAR on Sept. 21, eight days before the ETF launch. By Sept. 29, that figure had dropped about 21% to 169 million NEAR, even as the token’s price had risen roughly 86% from Sept. 16.

Dollar-denominated open interest continued climbing for several days, reaching about $1 billion on Sept. 27, but the declining number of NEAR committed to derivatives suggested leverage was already thinning before the ETF opened.
That makes the post-exploit move different from a straightforward leveraged unwind. Spot demand had strengthened into the launch while speculative positioning was being reduced, according to Santiment, giving the ETF inflows a more prominent role in the market structure.
NRR’s first two days showed that institutional demand was present, but the harder test begins after the breach.
If inflows continue despite the 10% drop, investors would be signaling that they are willing to separate an application-specific exploit from the investment case for the underlying network. A reversal in flows would show how quickly an ecosystem security event can interrupt demand for an ETF that has existed for only a handful of trading sessions.

XRP is beginning to support live dollar borrowing on Ethereum, though the market remains heavily concentrated among a handful of borrowers.
A Morpho market backed by FXRP, a tokenized representation of XRP, had about 7.18 million RLUSD in outstanding loans against 10.76 million FXRP as of Oct. 1. The three largest addresses accounted for almost all of that debt, limiting how far the activity can be read as broad adoption.
The market, launched in August through Flare, lets XRP holders mint FXRP, move it to Ethereum, and borrow Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin without immediately selling their XRP exposure.
That adds a new credit use case for XRP, but also introduces bridge, collateral, and redemption dependencies that borrowers do not face when holding native XRP directly.
The early borrowing activity is heavily concentrated among a small number of participants.
The three largest addresses account for 93% of roughly $7.2 million in outstanding debt, giving a handful of positions outsized influence over the market's size. A large repayment could sharply shrink borrowing, while another loan from the same wallets could lift the total without bringing in many new users.

The concentration may be even greater than the address count suggests. On-chain records identify wallets rather than their owners, so several addresses could belong to the same investor or institution.
Funding is similarly concentrated. Sentora RLUSD Main supplied about 8.53 million RLUSD, providing nearly all of the liquidity available to borrowers at the time observed. Even so, the FXRP market represents only about 2.03% of Sentora's broader vault allocations, leaving room to commit more capital if demand increases.
Sentora can supply up to 10 million RLUSD under the current limit. That gives borrowers room to take on more debt, though the spare capacity says little about whether a wider group of XRP holders will actually use it.
The same concentration could become more important if XRP price weakens.
Morpho allows lenders to liquidate a position once the value of its debt rises above 77% of the collateral backing it. The three biggest borrowers remain well away from that point. Based on their current debt and collateral, the largest position could withstand roughly a 45% decline in the FXRP-to-RLUSD ratio, while the next two have buffers of about 38%.
Some smaller borrowers have less room. One position with about 121,000 RLUSD of debt against 133,000 FXRP could reach its liquidation threshold after roughly a 21% decline, assuming the position otherwise remains unchanged.
The market recorded some liquidations in September but showed no realized or unrealized bad debt as of Oct. 1. A sharper move would provide a more meaningful test because a liquidator taking over one of the largest positions would suddenly have to absorb a sizeable amount of FXRP.
That would not necessarily mean the underlying XRP is immediately sold. A liquidator could hold the FXRP, sell it, move it back toward Flare, or redeem it for native XRP.
For now, the bigger issue is how quickly a few large wallets can reshape the market. New borrowers spreading the debt across more addresses would make the $7.2 million total more representative of broader demand. If activity remains concentrated, a single large repayment, new loan, or liquidation could materially change the market almost overnight.
The concentration in Morpho may prove temporary as developers prepare to bring lending directly onto the XRP Ledger.
XRPL’s proposed lending architecture, which is currently undergoing security reviews, would allow fixed-term credit to originate on the network rather than requiring XRP holders to mint FXRP, bridge it to Ethereum, and borrow through Morpho.
Removing those steps could make XRP-backed credit easier to access and give institutions another way to use XRPL assets for financing and liquidity management. It would also introduce a different credit model from Morpho’s overcollateralized loans, with underwriting handled before fixed-term loans are created.
More lending, however, would not necessarily translate into fresh demand for XRP. Existing holders could simply deploy XRP they already own, while institutions could recycle existing balances through lending markets. Outstanding debt could therefore rise substantially without a corresponding increase in the number of XRP owners or the amount of new capital entering the token.
That makes borrower composition as important as loan volume. A market that grows because the same large holders increase their borrowing would deepen XRP’s utility without demonstrating broader adoption. Growth spread across new borrowers, larger lending pools, and sustained activity after repayments would provide stronger evidence that credit is widening the asset’s economic use.
Native lending will provide the next test. If the amendments clear their security reviews and gain validator approval, XRP holders would have a direct lending route on XRPL alongside the existing Ethereum-based Morpho market.
The comparison will show whether reducing cross-chain friction attracts a broader borrower base or simply gives existing XRP holders another way to leverage the same capital.

Bank of America (BAC) shares traded at $53.58, down 1.57%, as the bank announced a $10 million healthcare grant. The funding will help Boston Children’s Hospital develop a new pediatric behavioral health campus in Brighton, Massachusetts. The project will expand treatment capacity while adding inpatient, outpatient and rehabilitation services for children and adolescents.
Bank of America Corporation, BAC
Bank of America will provide $10 million to Boston Children’s Hospital for the planned behavioral health campus. The facility will rise on the Franciscan Children’s campus, which joined Boston Children’s health system in 2023. The project will create new clinical space and increase access to behavioral health services across Greater Boston.
The new campus will combine inpatient treatment, outpatient care and rehabilitation services within one integrated location. It will also include single-patient rooms and dedicated programs for children with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Boston Children’s expects the expanded capacity to improve early intervention and reduce treatment delays for families.
The hospital also plans partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs for pediatric and adolescent patients. Rehabilitation services will cover both post-acute care and outpatient treatment for children with different medical needs. These services will broaden the campus beyond traditional behavioral health care and create a more complete treatment network.
Boston Children’s expects the Brighton project to create between 150 and 200 permanent jobs in the community. Construction work will also support more than 3,320 jobs throughout development of the new campus. That expansion adds an economic component to Bank of America’s healthcare-focused community investment.
The project will serve children with behavioral health needs and patients requiring specialized neurodevelopmental care. It will also create spaces designed for children with autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities. Families will participate more directly in care through layouts designed around long-term treatment and clinical support.
Beyond patient care, the campus will support research, workforce development and collaboration with schools and community organizations. Boston Children’s plans to use the site as a broader center for behavioral health innovation. Those programs could extend treatment and support beyond hospital walls and into surrounding communities.
Bank of America has built a substantial operating presence across Greater Boston through employees, branches and community programs. The company has more than 3,600 employees and nearly 130 locations serving customers throughout the region. Since 2021, it has contributed more than $53 million through philanthropic programs across Greater Boston.
Bank employees have also completed more than 216,000 volunteer hours across community programs since 2021. The bank has provided $963 million in home loans and $651 million in small business loans locally. These programs complement its financial support for healthcare, housing, economic mobility and community development.
Bank of America also marked the healthcare commitment through employee volunteer activities at Franciscan Children’s. Staff members participated in recreational and creative activities with patients across rehabilitation and behavioral health units. The grant therefore combines direct capital support with broader community participation around the planned Brighton campus.

SpaceX stock falls below its IPO price despite 92% revenue growth as Thursday’s lock-up expiry threatens to add insider supply.
For over 350 years (roughly since 1661 when the first banknotes appeared in Europe), the relationship between gold and paper money has shaped global finance.
