Canton Forum Singapore will convene institutions, digital asset leaders, technology providers and ecosystem builders to explore the next phase of on-chain finance in Asia
Canton Foundation, the independent organization supporting the development and adoption of the Canton Network, will host Canton Forum Singapore on October 8 at the ArtScience Museum, bringing together participants from across finance, digital assets, technology and the broader Canton ecosystem.
Held during TOKEN2049 week, Canton Forum will explore how traditional finance, digital assets and decentralized markets are increasingly converging and what that means for the future of financial markets in Asia and globally.
As tokenization moves beyond experimentation, the conversation is also changing. The question is no longer simply whether financial assets can be brought on-chain, but how those assets can interact, access liquidity, settle and move across different markets and applications.
“Asia is becoming one of the most important regions shaping the future of global financial markets,” said Viv Diwakar, Head of the Canton Foundation. “We are moving beyond the question of whether assets can be brought on-chain. The focus now is on how those assets can interact, settle and move across markets at institutional scale, while meeting the requirements of regulated finance. Canton Forum brings together the institutions, innovators and ecosystem participants working through those questions today and Singapore is a natural place to have that conversation.”
The program will open with remarks from Yuval Rooz, Co-Founder and CEO of Digital Asset, followed by a series of conversations examining some of the most important shifts taking place across financial markets today from Asia’s move from tokenization experiments toward institutional adoption, to the growing convergence of traditional finance, DeFi and digital assets, and Singapore’s role as a regional hub for tokenized capital markets.
Bringing together perspectives from across finance, digital assets, technology and the Canton ecosystem, the discussions will explore what comes next as on-chain markets mature including how assets can move across applications, access liquidity and connect with existing financial infrastructure.
The Forum will conclude with remarks from Viv Diwakar, Head of the Canton Foundation, before transitioning into a dedicated networking session bringing together institutions, digital
asset companies, technology providers, builders, investors and members of the broader ecosystem.
Connecting a Growing Financial Ecosystem Canton Forum reflects a broader evolution taking place across the industry.
Financial institutions are exploring tokenized securities, funds, collateral, payments and settlement. Digital asset companies are creating new forms of liquidity and distribution. Technology providers and builders are developing the infrastructure and applications needed to connect these markets.
Increasingly, these developments cannot happen in isolation.
The Canton Network is designed to enable financial applications and assets to interoperate while allowing participants to maintain the privacy, control and governance required for institutional financial activity.
For Canton Foundation, Asia-Pacific is an increasingly important part of that ecosystem, with Singapore serving as a key hub for supporting engagement and growth across the region.
“Some of the most significant work in digital finance is now happening across Asia,” said Diwakar. “Singapore sits at the intersection of global capital, financial institutions, technology and regulatory innovation. Bringing Canton Forum here reflects both the importance of the market and our commitment to building a broader ecosystem across the region as financial markets increasingly move on-chain.”
Canton Forum Singapore will take place on October 8, 2026, at the ArtScience Museum, Singapore, from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Dubai, UAE, October 6th, 2026, Chainwire
Firelight Protocol launches on Flare, providing onchain cover for DeFi vaults and enabling XRP holders to supply cover capital through Flare Smart Accounts.
Firelight Protocol is now live on the Flare Network, with its first cover protecting Sentora’s USD Protected Vault and Protected RWA Vaults. Sentora incubated Firelight, while Sentinel Labs develops and maintains the protocol.
Firelight provides an onchain cover layer for DeFi vaults, with cover terms, pricing, capacity and eligible events registered transparently onchain. The protocol is designed to address a growing gap between the amount of capital deployed across decentralized finance and the capital available to protect it.
Addressing the DeFi Protection Gap
Onchain capital increasingly sits in vaults, while protection for that capital has not grown at the same rate. Capital backing onchain cover currently represents approximately 0.14% of the nearly $100 billion deployed across DeFi.
As institutional participation in DeFi grows, this protection gap becomes increasingly significant.
Firelight adds protection at the vault level, allowing depositors in covered vaults to receive protection without researching or purchasing a separate policy. Cover terms are registered onchain, while an independent Risk Consortium comprising Hypernative, Native, Credora, Cyfrin and GFX Labs evaluates each event against criteria published in advance.
Firelight Cover Is Live Across Two Sentora Products
Firelight cover is currently integrated into two Sentora products:
Sentora USD Protected Vault provides diversified access to USD-denominated strategies that operate fully onchain across established DeFi protocols.
Sentora Protected RWA Vaults run strategies built around real-world assets (RWAs), including leveraged looping and lending in markets that accept RWAs as collateral.
The underlying strategies remain unchanged. Firelight adds verifiable onchain protection against defined protocol failures affecting deposits in the covered vaults.
Veda and Upshift are also integrating Firelight at the infrastructure layer, enabling operators building on their infrastructure to activate protection for their own vaults while drawing on the same Firelight Vault.
The Capital Behind the Cover Starts on Flare
Firelight distributes the role traditionally performed by an insurer across stakers. Stakers deposit FXRP into the Firelight Vault, which sits outside the protocols it covers, with the vault’s capital backing the portfolio of elected cover.
XRP is the first asset supporting the Firelight Vault. Through FAssets, part of Flare’s core network infrastructure, XRP can become programmable on Flare as FXRP without relying on a third-party bridge.
The aggregate deposit cap for staked positions is currently $115 million in XRP. Flarebrings the underlying asset, the infrastructure supporting it and the DeFi cover layer together on a single network.
How Firelight Cover Works
Firelight registers the parameters, scope, price and capacity of each cover onchain. Covered technical and economic events are defined in advance and include:
Smart contract exploits
Oracle failures
Governance exploits
Bad debt and depegs caused by mechanism failure
Redemption failures
When an eligible exploit or other covered event is confirmed:
Firelight programmatically identifies eligible active positions in a covered vault within the affected market.
ZeroShadow, Firelight’s designated security partner, publishes an exploit report.
The Risk Consortium independently validates the event, confirms the loss and publishes an onchain attestation.
The Risk Consortium reviews each cover event before a payout can be released, assessing the event against the published cover criteria and authorizing the outcome through a public onchain attestation.
Depositing XRP Through Flare Smart Accounts
Flare Smart Accounts allow XRP holders to deposit into Firelight using XRP in one flow. A supported XRPL wallet can be connected to Flare Smart Accounts to initiate the mint-and-deposit process.
The process does not require FLR, with fees charged in FXRP.
The flow consists of four steps:
An XRPL wallet sends XRP on the XRP Ledger with the deposit instruction attached.
Flare’s Data Connector verifies the transaction.
FAssets mints FXRP 1:1 on Flare.
The FXRP is staked into Firelight, and stXRP is credited to the Flare Smart Account.
The Smart Account is linked to the originating XRPL address, with control retained by that address.
Users initiate the unstaking process on the web application following the applicable unstaking period. As emissions accrue and cover is enabled, the unstaking window increases to align with the 30-day cover periods. Following the unstaking period, FXRP can be withdrawn and redeemed for XRP, with the XRP returned to the XRPL address that opened the position.
Flare Smart Accounts: fsa.flare.network
What Stakers Earn
Stakers provide economic security to the Firelight protocol, with their deposits subject to slashing. In return, stakers receive a share of protocol emissions.
Program operators pay fees to enable cover on their vaults, with those fees funding emissions. Emissions are linked to total protocol revenue and increase as additional operators enable cover.
Emissions are distributed continuously in FXRP. Fees paid in USDC are converted to FXRP and automatically added to each staker’s position, increasing its redemption value over time.
The first protocol emissions will also be distributed to early contributors in proportion to the Firelight Points earned by eligible addresses during the protocol’s development, growth and launch. Firelight will publish eligibility and claim details through its official channels in the coming days. Users should treat claim links from other sources as potential scams.
Understanding the Risks
Firelight Cover is not insurance. Staking into Firelight involves taking on risk in order to provide protection to depositors in covered vaults.
Key risks include:
Staked capital is subject to slashing. Deposits back cover and do not themselves receive cover. Stakers receive protocol emissions for providing economic security.
Rewards carry the same risk. Compounded rewards remain in the vault and are subject to slashing in the same manner as the original deposit.
Exits take time. Deposits support 30-day cover periods, meaning unstaking and withdrawals take longer than during Phase 1. Phase 1 positions convert automatically.
Capacity is capped. Aggregate staked positions are currently capped at $115 million in XRP.
Smart contract risk remains. Depositing through Flare Smart Accounts relies on the FSA, FAssets and Firelight contracts. Audits and monitoring reduce, but do not eliminate, this risk.
Participants should review the Firelight documentation and understand the associated risks before depositing.
Built on Flare
Flare is the blockchain for data. Its enshrined protocols, the Flare Time Series Oracle and Flare Data Connector, enable digital assets that settle elsewhere, starting with XRP, to participate in onchain finance.
FXRP, the first FAsset, represents XRP 1:1 on Flare and has surpassed 150 million FXRP minted, with more than 90% deployed in onchain finance across seven networks. Firelight uses staked FXRP as the capital backing onchain cover against defined risks including exploits, oracle failures and bad debt.
Sentora’s risk infrastructure supports Firelight, applying more than 1,000 proprietary risk models across $2 billion in deployed assets and more than 300 monitored strategies.
Firelight’s contracts have been audited by OpenZeppelin, Coinspect and 0xMacro, and the protocol completed a public bug bounty through Immunefi.
Firelight raised $8 million in seed funding ahead of launch. Gumi Cryptos Capital led the round, with participation from Maven 11, Metalayer and Tribe Capital.

About Flare
Flare is the blockchain for data, an EVM-compatible Layer 1 where data and compute expand what capital can do. Its enshrined protocols, the Flare Time Series Oracle and the Flare Data Connector, give smart contracts verified prices and facts from other chains and the internet. Flare Confidential Compute, deployed first on Songbird, adds logic that cannot run in the open, returning signed results that contracts verify onchain and that are authorized by the same provider set. Through products including FAssets and Flare Smart Accounts, Flare enables assets such as XRP to take part in smart contract applications while remaining connected to their native networks.

Singapore, Singapore, October 6th, 2026, Chainwire
Multi-chain stablecoin wallet combines simpler transfers, flexible gas-fee options, security features, and practical use cases with one ambition: to become the world’s easiest stablecoin wallet.
Changer+ today announced the launch of its self-custodial stablecoin wallet, built to make holding, moving and using stablecoins simpler.
Changer+ supports major stablecoins including USDT and USDC across Ethereum, TRON, BNB Chain and Solana, with more networks and stablecoins planned.
To celebrate its launch, Changer+ is offering new users three free transactions per device on each chain - Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain from October 6 to November 6, 2026.
Changer+ is built around a simple belief: people should not need to understand every blockchain, gas token, or transaction mechanic just to use the stablecoins they already have.
Stablecoins Should Just Work
Using stablecoins can still mean figuring out which network a token is on, choosing the right transfer route, sourcing a separate gas token, and navigating unfamiliar transaction steps. Changer+ is designed to move more of that complexity into the background.
“People should not have to become blockchain experts just to use stablecoins,” said Leon Gao, CEO of Changer+, with over a decade of experience in product development in the fintech and payment industry
“The technology underneath can stay sophisticated. What users see should feel simple, clear and dependable.”
Simplicity Without Giving Up Control
Making stablecoins easier to use should not mean taking control away from the user.
Changer+ is self-custodial, meaning users retain control of their private keys and authorize their own transactions.
For Yun Han Wong, CGO of Changer+, who has spent years working in Web3, preserving that principle is fundamental to trust.
“Trust is everything in Web3,” Yun Han said. “The early crypto idea of ‘being your own bank’ was really about ownership — having control over your own assets instead of simply handing that control to another intermediary.”
“We want to preserve that ethos while making stablecoins much easier to use. Convenience should not mean giving up control.”
Technology and Security Built around the User
Changer+ is designed to remove common friction from everyday stablecoin use.
On supported transactions, Changer+ lets users cover network-related transaction costs without first having to acquire the blockchain’s native gas token.
For example, a user holding stablecoins does not necessarily need to separately acquire ETH, TRX, BNB, or SOL before completing a supported transaction.
Changer+ has also completed an independent security audit, vulnerability assessment, and penetration testing (VAPT) conducted by Echo Pulse, a CREST-accredited and Singapore-licensed cybersecurity service provider.
These capabilities are led by Zack Chen, CTO of Changer+, an NUS-trained technopreneur with years of software development experience overseeing Changer+’s multi-chain architecture and security development.
“Good engineering should reduce the complexity users have to manage while keeping the experience clear and reliable,” Zack said.
Making Stablecoins More Useful
Changer+ goes beyond holding and transferring stablecoins by giving users more ways to put them to practical use.
Current capabilities include global eSIM data plans, a lifestyle ticket marketplace, and security risk signals that help users identify suspicious activity and potentially unsafe addresses, with more use cases planned.
“Our ambition is not to build another wallet people download and forget,” Leon said. “We want to make the whole stablecoin experience easier — from holding and transferring to actually using them.”
As stablecoins increasingly move beyond crypto trading into payments, remittances and everyday digital commerce, the experience of using them remains fragmented across networks and wallets.
Changer+ was built to close that usability gap.
Backed by a private family office, Changer+ is taking a long-term approach to building the product. Rather than centering the platform around a project token or speculative rewards, the company is focused on usability, self-custody, security, and practical stablecoin utility.
“Stablecoins should just work,” Yun Han added. “Fewer unnecessary crypto steps, more useful things you can do with them, and the user stays in control.”
Changer+ is available on iOS and Android.

Tokyo, Japan, October 6th, 2026, Chainwire
The landmark issuance brings yen-denominated stablecoin payments into real-world corporate finance, with both interest and principal redemption paid in JPYSC
Startale Japan today announced Startale Bond, Japan’s1 first digital corporate bond to pay both interest and principal redemption in a yen-denominated trust-type stablecoin. Simply, the corporate bond pays out to bondholders over its lifecycle in a yen stablecoin rather than through traditional payment rails.
The issuance puts JPYSC, a yen-denominated trust-type stablecoin issued by SBI Shinsei Trust Bank, directly into corporate financing transactions. Both scheduled interest payments and the final principal redemption will be made in JPYSC, marking the first time this structure has been used for a digital corporate bond in Japan.
Startale Japan Co., Ltd. is the legal issuer of the Startale Bond. The bond is limited to individual investors and companies in Japan and is not being offered to overseas investors.
The issuance is a new use case for JPYSC beyond blockchain transactions, bringing a yen-denominated stablecoin into an established corporate financing structure. By using JPYSC for both interest and principal redemption payments, Startale Japan is demonstrating how stablecoin infrastructure can connect with traditional financial instruments and Japan’s existing capital markets.
“By bringing finance onchain, we want to create new options for corporate fundraising and individual investment,” said Sota Watanabe, CEO, Startale Group Pte. Ltd. “With this bond issuance, we are piloting JPYSC for actual interest and principal redemption payments. Learnings from this initiative will allow us to eventually expand this mechanism to a wide range of businesses across Japan, creating new mechanisms where people can continuously support companies through investment. We will continue pushing this frontier with the hope that, looking back in the years to come, this initiative will be remembered as a major turning point in finance.”
Stablecoins have largely been associated with crypto trading, payments and remittances. Startale Bond extends their use into corporate finance by making JPYSC the payment mechanism across multiple stages of a bond’s lifecycle.
That includes both scheduled interest payments and the final repayment of principal. The structure creates a real-world example of how onchain settlement can operate within a conventional financial instrument rather than as a separate blockchain-native product.
For Startale, SBI and Japan’s wider financial sector, the issuance also establishes a model for how yen-denominated stablecoins could play a role in future capital-market activity. The experience gained through Startale Bond can inform potential applications involving businesses, financial institutions, tokenized assets and other forms of onchain finance.
JPYSC was developed through a collaboration between SBI Group and Startale Group. SBI Shinsei Trust Bank issues JPYSC and manages the trust assets backing it, SBI VC Trade serves as the issuance trustor and leads issuance and distribution, while Startale Group is responsible for the technology supporting JPYSC.
The Startale Bond brings those pieces together in a corporate financing transaction for the first time, demonstrating how a regulated yen stablecoin can move beyond digital-asset markets and become part of the infrastructure supporting established financial instruments.
About JPYSC
JPYSC is Japan's first2 trust-type yen-denominated stablecoin, issued by SBI Shinsei Trust Bank. It is designed to track the Japanese yen 1:1 and qualifies as a Type 3 Electronic Payment Instrument under Japan's Payment Services Act.

Seoul, Korea, October 4th, 2026, Chainwire
Private launch goes live October 4 during Korea Blockchain Week with Pokémon, One Piece, and sports cards, instant buyback, physical redemption, up to 6% cashback, and a leaderboard competition featuring 3 exclusive slabs + 8 packs.
Tria, the self-custodial neofinance platform for trading, earning, spending and moving assets, today launched private access to Tria Gacha, a new collectibles experience built directly inside the Tria app that lets users open packs containing real graded trading cards, keep their pulls, sell them back instantly or redeem physical cards for delivery.
Gacha is the first step in Tria’s broader push to bring culturally relevant assets into the same environment where users already spend and manage money.
Selected users from Tria’s mystery pre-launch waitlist are receiving access beginning today during Korea Blockchain Week in Seoul, with additional waitlisted users gaining access in daily batches. The October 4 debut is a private launch ahead of broader availability.
“Collectors were never just playing. These are assets people grade, price, trade and hold, and we wanted to bring that behavior into the same place people already manage their money without losing what makes collecting fun,” said Vijit Katta, CEO and co-founder of Tria. “Trading cards are step one. Culture is a much bigger asset class than finance has traditionally treated it as.”
Gacha was built in response to behavior Tria was already seeing among its users, who were spending meaningfully on Gacha and collectibles outside the app while frequently reaching the higher-rate cashback spend limits on their Tria cards. Tria brought that activity directly into the product rather than treating it as separate from the financial experience.
Eligible Gacha packs purchased with a Tria card can earn up to 6% cashback, depending on membership, without counting toward the card’s higher-rate cashback spend limit. Gacha purchases receive the membership’s base cashback rate; other boosts do not apply.
Every Gacha pull corresponds to a real graded collectible card. Users can hold cards in their Tria collection, sell a pull back directly through the product or redeem eligible cards for physical delivery, creating a native experience spanning discovery, collecting, liquidity and ownership.
To mark the private launch, Tria is also introducing a 14-day Gacha leaderboard competition starting October 4, with 3 exclusive slabs + 8 packs up for grabs across the final top 10 participants. The in-app countdown shows the exact end. Users with Gacha access can participate, with rankings determined by the total dollar value of eligible Gacha pack purchases during the competition, displayed in-app as “Packs Opened ($).”
All Gacha pack types count toward the leaderboard, whether purchased by card or wallet. Participants can follow their position on the live leaderboard as access opens to more waitlisted users throughout the campaign. The value or rarity of cards revealed does not determine leaderboard rank.
Only Tria users who have received Gacha access are eligible to participate. Referring friends can help users move up the Gacha waitlist and receive access earlier, but waitlist position and leaderboard rank are separate: referrals affect access, while eligible pack purchases determine competition rankings.
Interested users can join the Tria Gacha waitlist.
The launch extends Tria beyond traditional financial assets and everyday spending into cultural categories with active collector communities, established grading systems and deeply developed secondary markets. Trading cards are the first category in that strategy.
In the days leading up to Korea Blockchain Week, Tria teased the launch through a mystery waitlist campaign that withheld the product category and dropped clues across social channels. Today’s reveal gives the first wave of waitlisted users access to Gacha inside the Tria app.
