A warehouse show with Adam Beyer on October 4 opens a two-event Singapore run, followed by a TOKEN2049 night with OrangeX and Brina Knauss on October 9.
RaveDAO is returning to Singapore this October with two events that move between the scale of a waterfront warehouse and the intimacy of a late-night club. The run begins on Sunday, October 4, when RaveDAO and Singapore nightlife collective Thugshop present Adam Beyer at Tanjong Pagar Distripark. Five days later, RaveDAO and OrangeX will present Brina Knauss at MDLR during TOKEN2049 Week.
The October 4 show places Beyer inside a warehouse at 37 Keppel Road overlooking Singapore’s port and CBD skyline. Running from 4:00 PM to 11:00 PM, it is a daytime-to-nightfall setting for an artist whose sound has traveled from underground clubs to major festival stages. Thugshop brings its local nightlife experience to the collaboration, while RaveDAO brings another internationally recognized artist to the city’s dancefloor.
Adam Beyer is one of the artists who took techno from underground clubs to the world’s biggest stages. For more than 30 years, the Swedish DJ and producer has shaped the genre through his records and sets, while Drumcode, the label he founded, has become a benchmark for techno releases and events worldwide. In 2026 alone, he has played both weekends at Coachella, returned to RESISTANCE Ibiza and sold out a Drumcode show at London’s Drumsheds. Now, in Drumcode’s 30th anniversary year, Beyer brings that same force to a Singapore warehouse overlooking the port: a chance to hear one of techno’s defining artists in a setting made for his music.
The second event gives RaveDAO’s October return a different shape. On Friday, October 9, RaveDAO and crypto trading platform OrangeX will present Slovenian DJ and EMPATH label founder Brina Knauss at MDLR, with ArkStream Capital as co-host. Held during TOKEN2049 Week, the late-night event centres on Knauss’s atmospheric blend of house and techno in a more intimate club setting.
Together, the two dates continue RaveDAO’s history in Singapore. In 2024, its Singapore Nightopia during TOKEN2049 featured Don Diablo and Bassjackers. In 2025, RaveDAO returned with the ENL1GHT Festival at Pasir Panjang Power Station, featuring Vintage Culture, MORTEN and Chris Avantgarde. This October, RaveDAO’s Singapore return spans two distinct settings from Adam Beyer’s driving techno in a portside warehouse as the sun goes down to Brina Knauss’s hypnotic late-night set at MDLR.
Event details
October 4: RaveDAO x Thugshop Present Adam Beyer, 4:00–11:00 PM, Tanjong Pagar Distripark, 37 Keppel Road, #01-01. Tickets and event information.
October 9: RaveDAO x OrangeX Present Brina Knauss, 9:00 PM–3:00 AM, MDLR, 62 Cecil Street, #02-00. Tickets and event information.

Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATMs announced the launch of more than 400 cryptocurrency ATMs across the United States. The machines allow customers to purchase Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and USDC with cash at a stated flat 5% fee. Customers can also pre-register online before visiting an ATM.
Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATMs, a new nationwide low-fee Bitcoin ATM operator, launched today with an initial rollout of more than 400 Bitcoin ATMs across the United States, a footprint that places it amongst the largest Bitcoin ATM operators in the country on its first day. It also launched with a name that does most of the marketing department's job for it. The brand charges a flat 5% Bitcoin ATM fee to buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT or USDC with cash, displays the fee and exchange rate on screen before the customer confirms, and, as of today, lets first-time customers register online in about two minutes so they can skip onboarding at the machine entirely.
400+ Bitcoin ATM locations on day one
Most Bitcoin ATM operators in the U.S. run a few dozen machines. Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATMs opens with more than 400 Bitcoin ATM locations in the convenience stores, gas stations and shopping centers people already visit, with machines in Florida, California, Arizona and Texas among other states, as the first phase of a larger rollout.
"Four hundred machines is not a pilot. It's a network," said Quincy Mathis, Operations Manager at Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATMs. "We wanted to be one of the biggest Bitcoin ATM operators in the country on the day we opened, because a low fee only matters if there's a machine near you. This is phase one."
Buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and USDC with cash: coins, limits and one fee
Every Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATM sells Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) for cash, all at the same 5% fee, all sent directly to the customer's own wallet. No bank account or credit card is needed. The machines are non-custodial: the company never holds customer funds.
Bitcoin ATM daily limits are set by verification tier:
Tier 1, phone number only: up to $2,000 per day
Tier 2, government ID and Tax ID: up to $50,000 per day
Bitcoin ATM fees compared: what $1,000 buys
The typical Bitcoin ATM in the United States charges roughly 12% to 15% to buy, and some of the largest national brands charge 20% or more. Here is what that looks like when a customer walks up with $1,000 in cash:
Illustrative, based on posted percentage fees only and before exchange rate. Many operators add an exchange-rate markup on top of the posted fee; Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATMs shows both the fee and the rate on screen before a transaction is confirmed. Industry figures reflect publicly reported U.S. Bitcoin ATM fee ranges. See how the Bitcoin ATM fees compare.
At a 20% machine, one dollar in every five never becomes crypto. At Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATMs, it's one in twenty. The name is not subtle; neither is a 20% fee.
"We wanted a rate people can look at on the receipt and feel good about, not one they have to make peace with," said Quincy Mathis. "Five percent, shown up front, with the exchange rate right next to it. That's the whole pitch."
Stablecoin ATMs are becoming the way people send money overseas
A growing share of customers are using the machines as USDT and USDC ATMs, buying dollar pegged stable coins to send money to family and friends overseas and to pay suppliers and contractors abroad. A customer inserts cash, the stable coins arrive in the recipient's wallet within minutes, and the recipient holds dollars they can keep or cash out locally. No wire counter, no multi-day wait, and no bank account needed to send.
That makes the fee gap matter more, not less. Someone sending $1,000 home once a month pays about $600 a year in fees at a 5% machine, $1,440 to $1,800 at a typical machine, and $2,400 at a 20% machine. The difference is real money to the people who can least afford to lose it, which is why low fees matter most to remittance customers.
"The people using stable coins to support family abroad are exactly the people who shouldn't be paying 20% for the privilege," said Quincy Mathis.
How to use a Bitcoin ATM: four steps, under two minutes, now with online pre-registration
New with today's launch is online Bitcoin ATM pre-registration. First-time customers can pre-register online before they ever visit a machine, so the first visit is as fast as the tenth. At any of the 400+ machines, they simply enter their phone number.
Register online, once. About two minutes on a phone.
Walk up and enter your phone number. The machine recognizes you. No paperwork at the kiosk.
Pick a coin, scan your wallet, insert cash. Scan your wallet's QR code and feed in the bills.
Check the screen and confirm. The fee and exchange rate are displayed before you press anything. Crypto lands in your wallet within minutes.
Customers who would rather register at the machine still can. It just takes a little longer, and the company would like to gently point out that it no longer has to. A full walkthrough of how a Bitcoin ATM works is on the company's website.
Compliance, briefly
Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATMs is a FinCEN-registered money services business, and every machine operates in compliance with federal and state regulations. Customer data is encrypted, and transactions are non-custodial and irreversible. No government agency, bank, utility or tech-support line will ever ask anyone to pay them at a Bitcoin ATM; if someone does, it is a scam. Common questions are answered in the company's Bitcoin ATM FAQ.
Find a low-fee Bitcoin ATM near you
Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATMs are live now at 400+ locations across the United States, with further phases of the rollout to follow. Customers can find a Bitcoin ATM near them and pre-register at lowestfeebitcoinatms.com. New customers can use code LOWEST at the machine for 20% off the transaction fee, which brings the fee on that $1,000 transaction down to $40.
About Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATMs
Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATMs is a nationwide low-fee Bitcoin ATM operator whose initial network of more than 400 machines ranks among the largest in the United States. Customers can buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and USDC with cash for a flat 5% fee, with the fee and exchange rate displayed on screen before every transaction. The company is a FinCEN-registered money services business. Users can learn more at lowestfeebitcoinatms.com.

First application enables verifiable Proof of Reserves for Hex Trust’s USDX stablecoin
Flare, the blockchain for data, has brought Flare Confidential Compute (FCC) to Songbird, its canary network. FCC processes private institutional data and returns signed results that smart contracts can verify onchain, without the data itself becoming public. The first institutional application is a Proof of Reserves extension, with Hex Trust’s USDX becoming the first stablecoin to use the technology.
Smart contracts can only act on data they can verify. While public information is supported on Flare through the Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO) and the Flare Data Connector (FDC), institutional data such as reserve balances, fund NAVs, collateral positions, credit information and compliance records often needs to remain private.
FCC processes private inputs inside a registered Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) and returns a signed result that contracts can verify before relying on it. The underlying data remains private, with only the resulting aggregate conclusion published onchain.
Proof of Reserves for USDX
The first FCC application is a Proof of Reserves extension designed for assets whose backing includes both public and private components. Hex Trust is using the extension for USDX, its 1:1 USD-referencing stablecoin.
Hex Trust provides USDX reserve data from two sources, including a public reserves amount and a restricted cash reserves amount. The extension reads the data inside the TEE, checks the combined total against USDX supply across the ecosystem, and signs a result showing whether USDX is backed 1:1 or better. Only the result is published, without exposing the underlying reserve balances.
USDX is a collateral asset in the FAssets system on Songbird, and its feed is migrating to this reserve-based reference. The same result provides decentralized exchanges with a basis for pricing USDX, while feed metadata indicates whether reserves meet the required coverage threshold at each update.
“Integrating Flare Confidential Compute enhances the trust layer for institutional adoption by enabling real-time, onchain verifiability of USDX reserves and thus manifesting its position as a trusted stablecoin in the Flare ecosystem” said Ben Usinger, Head of Stablecoins at Hex Trust.
How FCC verifies the result
FCC is designed so that a contract can verify not only the result, but also the conditions under which that result was produced.
Songbird data providers relay and sign each instruction under Flare’s signing policy. The TEE executes an instruction only after it carries a weighted majority of provider signatures. The provider set is the same one that operates the FTSO and FDC.
Each supported FCC code version is represented by the hash of a reproducible container image that has been approved onchain. A machine running unapproved code cannot register with the network, while new versions must pass the same approval process before they can be used. This makes code upgrades an onchain event.
A TEE joins an extension by presenting a hardware attestation showing that it is running an approved code version. The attestation is verified through the FDC and recorded onchain. The machine’s signing key is generated inside the enclave at boot and does not leave it.
The TEE then signs the resulting output using its registered identity. A verifier contract, the TEE registry, checks that signature before the result can be stored or used by other contracts.
For Proof of Reserves, FCC combines public reserve components, private reserve records and token supply in a single calculation. The extension applies a defined coverage rule, which can range from a single threshold to a multi-condition policy. The resulting conclusion is published without exposing the private figures that contributed to it.
Bringing public and private data together
FCC extends Flare’s data infrastructure to information that cannot be published directly onchain. The FTSO provides public market data, while the FDC verifies information from other blockchains and Web2 systems. FCC adds confidential data and computation under the same network-level provider set and signing policy.
This creates a common framework for applications that need verified results from private information. Beyond Proof of Reserves, potential applications include lending markets that combine public asset prices with private coverage information, tokenized funds that calculate verifiable NAVs from undisclosed holdings, and credit or compliance applications that require a verifiable conclusion without exposing underlying records.
FCC is initially live on Songbird, Flare’s canary network, following the acceptance of STP.13 in July 2026. A deployment on Flare will follow separately.
The initial Songbird deployment is supported by TEE machines running on Google Cloud confidential computing and operated by the Flare Foundation. The architecture is designed to support a broader distribution of operators and hardware vendors over time.
The FCC extension framework will open to builders later in the bootstrap period. Developer documentation covering the architecture, extension development, registration and onchain verification is available through the Flare Dev Hub.

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.

SEOUL, South Korea, September 30th, 2026, Chainwire
LBank Labs, the Web3-focused initiative of global cryptocurrency exchange LBank, successfully concluded its exclusive VIP Game Night in Seoul during Korea Blockchain Week (KBW) 2026, bringing together a select group of VIP guests, industry participants, partners, and members of the Web3 community for an evening of private networking, premium hospitality, and curated entertainment.
Held as an invitation-only gathering, the event offered a more relaxed and intimate setting away from the pace of large-scale industry conferences. As guests arrived throughout the evening, conversations moved naturally between the lounge, dining area, and game tables, creating a setting where industry participants could connect more personally, exchange perspectives on the market, and explore potential opportunities for future collaboration.
The evening combined networking with a carefully curated hospitality experience. Guests enjoyed champagne, spirits, and gourmet bites while taking part in classic casino-style entertainment including Roulette, Baccarat, and Blackjack. Around the tables, conversations continued between rounds, with investors, builders, partners, and community members sharing views on emerging market trends, new projects, and the broader evolution of the Web3 industry. Exclusive gifts and limited-edition merchandise were also prepared for invited guests, adding a more personalized touch to the evening. All games were provided strictly for entertainment purposes and did not involve cash prizes or monetary rewards.
More than a social gathering, the VIP Game Night created a dedicated space for deeper relationship-building across the Web3 ecosystem. The smaller format encouraged more meaningful conversations and direct interaction among participants, reflecting LBank Labs’ broader approach to ecosystem engagement — creating opportunities for people to connect beyond formal meetings, panels, and conference schedules.
With Seoul continuing to play an important role in Asia’s blockchain, digital asset, and Web3 landscape, the event further deepened LBank Labs’ engagement with the Korean market. By bringing together members of its global network alongside local industry participants during KBW 2026, LBank Labs created a direct touchpoint between international and Korean Web3 communities while strengthening relationships with partners and ecosystem participants in the region.
The event received support from leading crypto and Web3 media and data partners, including LCIRCLE, TheNewsCrypto, CryptoRank, LiveBitcoinNews, The Blockopedia, DroomDroom, Coinscapture, The Crypto Updates, Cryptic, Cryptovate, Chainwire, and Allconfsbot. Their support further extended the visibility of LBank Labs throughout KBW 2026 and across the broader global digital asset community.
The Seoul VIP Game Night forms part of LBank Labs’ ongoing efforts to build meaningful connections across the global Web3 ecosystem. Through investment activities, ecosystem partnerships, industry initiatives, and curated offline experiences, LBank Labs continues to connect the people, ideas, and opportunities shaping the next generation of digital assets and blockchain innovation.

Integration lets users hold XRP, RLUSD, and USDC and use XRP to fund Tria cards and Hyperliquid or Decibel trading accounts without manually bridging or swapping.
Tria, the self-custodial neofinance platform for trading, earning, spending and moving assets across chains, today announced native support for the XRP Ledger, making XRP directly usable across Tria’s wallet, card and trading products.
Users can now receive, hold and send XRP, RLUSD and USDC on the native XRP Ledger, use XRP to book or top up a Tria card, and fund futures trading accounts on Hyperliquid or Decibel—all from inside Tria.
The integration removes the manual bridging and swapping that typically sits between an onchain balance and where a user wants to put it to work. Tria handles the underlying routing, allowing users to move from holding XRP to spending or trading without navigating multiple networks and applications themselves.
“XRP has one of the largest and most established communities in digital assets, but holding an asset and being able to use it seamlessly are still very different things,” said Vijit Katta, Co-founder and CEO of Tria. “With XRP Ledger support inside Tria, users can keep control of their assets while moving directly into spending or trading without stitching together bridges, swaps and separate apps.”
For card users, XRP can be used for both initial card booking and subsequent top-ups. For traders, XRP Ledger balances can fund futures accounts on Hyperliquid or Decibel. Tria displays both an estimated amount and guaranteed minimum before users confirm a card or trading top-up.
Transactions directly on the XRP Ledger typically settle in approximately three to five seconds, while cross-network card and trading top-ups generally take between one and three minutes.
The launch supports XRP, RLUSD and USDC on the native XRP Ledger. New XRP Ledger accounts require a 1 XRP reserve, with an additional 0.2 XRP reserve for each enabled token. Those reserves remain in the user’s account and are not paid to Tria. Tria recommends an initial deposit of at least 2 XRP to allow for reserve requirements and transaction fees.
Support is limited to the native XRP Ledger. XRP transferred through Ethereum, BNB Chain or the XRPL EVM sidechain is not supported by the integration.
The launch expands Tria’s broader push to make digital assets usable across financial products without forcing users to manage the infrastructure underneath each transaction. Tria brings spending, trading and cross-chain money movement into a single self-custodial interface designed to make assets portable across networks and applications.
XRP Ledger support is available now in the Tria app, with no access code required.
Get started on Tria.
About Tria
Tria is a self-custodial neofinance platform that lets users trade, earn, spend and move assets across chains from a single interface. Tria combines consumer financial products with cross-chain infrastructure designed to make digital assets usable without requiring users to manually navigate bridges, networks and fragmented applications.

Moca Network’s AIR identity product layer is built on Moca Chain to provide decentralized identity, payments, and programmable rewards
Moca Foundation and Moca Network, a flagship project by Animoca Brands, today announced the launch of the Moca Chain mainnet. Moca Chain is a blockchain network built specifically for digital identity, enabling users to transport verified and trusted credentials, such as verified identity or membership status, across applications while minimizing data exposure.
Concurrent with the Moca Chain mainnet launch, AIR, which is the Moca Chain-based integration layer for identity, payments, and loyalty, has continued to onboard enterprises, infrastructure, and data partners.
AIR provides businesses with a single integration point to onboard users and their AI agents, and share data in a privacy-preserved manner, maximizing collaboration via data sharing while minimizing the volume of personal information they are required to custody.
Currently, most digital identity systems require users to duplicate verification processes across disparate platforms, leading to data fragmentation and elevated security vulnerabilities. This structural inefficiency is compounding as agentic web traffic and commerce continue to grow. As AI agents increasingly shop, book, and register on behalf of users, merchants and businesses need reliable ways to securely verify agents’ mandates and their owners’ identities.
Moca Chain addresses this problem through a decentralized verification model that enables a wide range of organizations, including financial platforms, telcos, retailers, and ticketing services, to verify users’ data, and issue tamper-proof verifiable credentials on Moca Chain, under a unified digital identity. Users custody these credentials themselves and decide where to share them, with cryptographically enforced consent. When an application queries a user’s identity status it receives a digitally certified confirmation instead of a copy of the underlying identity documentation. Credentials can be updated or revoked, with state changes reflected network-wide on Moca Chain, allowing all integrated applications to detect modifications without requiring users to submit updated proofs or entire identity documents for every platform they interact with.
Moca Network’s AIR works bidirectionally: companies can convert existing customer verification checks into credentials on Moca Chain, or accept credentials issued by trusted partners to streamline user onboarding and automate conditional access based on verified data.
AIR extends this identity framework to AI agents by giving users control over agent permissions and authorization rules. As agentic commerce volume continues to increase, businesses can utilize AIR to verify the identities of AI agents and their human owners, validating the authorization scope of agents before offering any access, pricing, services, or offers.
The ecosystem of Moca Network and AIR includes integration partners across various consumer platforms, fintech providers, loyalty programs, and agentic commerce environments, including SK Planet, Biletinial, Oyunfor, Open Campus, OneFootball, Automobili Lamborghini, Inveo Kripto, Plume, and Nansen.
Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, said: “Users should not be forced to surrender sensitive personal information redundantly every time they use a new service and platform—not only is the process time-consuming and tedious, but it also stifles competition by erecting barriers to alternative merchants and providers, keeping users locked in to the platforms where they are already authenticated. As more and more AI agents navigate the digital economy on behalf of more and more people, Moca Chain is ideally positioned to provide individuals with sovereign ownership of their credentials, and to give businesses a mechanism that can establish trust without unnecessary data custody.”
Kenneth Shek, CEO of Moca Network, said: “Moca Chain is the foundational infrastructure for availability of identity data and auditability of identity states. Scalable data sharing is necessary for AI agents to act on behalf of humans, however the trust framework for delegation and authority is lacking. In the past, platforms have compromised user privacy to enable agent automation. AIR solves this by keeping users in control of their data while enabling AI agents to execute tasks safely and seamlessly via secure, scalable, and privacy-preserved data sharing.”
Businesses interested in integrating AIR can learn more at air3.com and apply for partnership at air3.com/partner-with-us. Developer documentation is available at docs.air3.com.
About AIR
AIR provides infrastructure for decentralized identity, money and loyalty through a single modular integration stack for businesses and AI agents. AIR Identity simplifies user acquisition and verification via selective attribute disclosure; AIR Money enables the integration of third-party services for payments, payouts, and settlement; and AIR Loyalty powers programmable rewards with fixed-rate point settlement. AIR extends this same capability to AI agents, granting them scoped, user-defined permissions to execute actions for users and enterprises.
AIR is built by Moca Network, the identity network of Animoca Brands. Website: https://air3.com

NEWPORT BEACH, California, September 29th, 2026, Chainwire
Proposed acquisition would bring a gold-backed decentralized financial ecosystem, including decentralized financial infrastructure targeting retail, institutional, and blockchain markets.
A retail and institutional platform designed for the rapidly growing stablecoin industry, delivering compliance-focused infrastructure for payments, yield, lending and open-ecosystem, industry-wide decentralized financial applications.
Institutional gold-based infrastructure spanning gold as a currency, gold-collateralized USD products and gold-backed financial products, anchored to an Ethereum-based Layer 2 network designed as a stable foundation for the next generation of industry products.
Proprietary yield engines designed to power institutional products targeting competitive returns by bridging traditional and decentralized markets.
Amaze Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: AMZE) (“Amaze” or the “Company”) today announced it has entered into a binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to acquire the assets of BullionFX, including its core platform Alchemy (collectively, the “BullionFX Assets”), for stock valued at approximately $155 million.
The BullionFX Assets comprise the technology, infrastructure and intellectual property behind a blockchain financial ecosystem built around auditable physical gold. If completed, the acquisition would mark a strategic expansion for Amaze beyond creator commerce and into gold-backed digital-asset infrastructure. The transaction comes amid a broad resurgence in cryptocurrency markets, rapid growth in volume within the stablecoin industry, renewed institutional engagement with digital assets, and continued strength in gold as a long-established store of value. Adjusted stablecoin transaction volume hit $1.79 trillion in June 2026, up 125% year on year, according to Visa Onchain Analytics (Allium).
“Crypto’s renewed momentum and gold’s enduring role as a store of value have opened a rare window for infrastructure built on both,” said Joel Krutz, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Amaze. “Alchemy is a full-stack, gold-backed financial ecosystem, and we believe bringing it into the public markets can create meaningful long-term value for our stockholders.”
The acquisition gives Amaze the technology, infrastructure and intellectual property behind a comprehensive decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem in which every unit of digital value is tied to physical gold held by independent custodians. The platform's architecture supports lending and borrowing protocols, yield products, cross-chain interoperability, and an Ethereum-based Layer 2 network that links traditional and decentralized finance while offering the rapidly growing market of gold- and USD-backed stablecoins users’ broad functionality, including access to yield opportunities.
Following closing, Amaze intends to prioritize activation of the self-custody retail wallet and yield engines and, as an initial institutional application, to pursue a listed Stable Asset Treasury (“SAT”) vehicle for gold and USD, subject to applicable regulatory approvals.
“We have seen traditional financial markets adopt blockchain, and more recently stablecoins, as a direct result of retail users seeking more control, custody, and transferability of their own assets. We believe traditional finance will increasingly bridge with decentralized finance to extract the ideal attributes of both industries. Alchemy is well-positioned to compete in bringing to market a range of bridged traditional and decentralized financial products to introduce innovative financial offerings on a retail and institutional level while seeking to mitigate certain risks associated with traditional stablecoin models,” said Stephen Moss, Founder, BullionFX. "Joining a publicly listed company gives Alchemy the access and institutional credibility to accelerate our mission. That mission is a stable, transparent financial ecosystem for retail users that bridges traditional and decentralized finance."
INSIDE THE ALCHEMY PLATFORM
$GOLD, Backed by Physical Gold. Alchemy’s core $GOLD token is designed to be backed one-to-one by vaulted, independently custodied and audited physical gold, with reserves intended to be subject to real-time attestation through third-party, institutional-grade audit mechanisms. $GOLD is designed to serve as the network’s settlement asset, combining the stability of a hard asset with the speed and transparency of blockchain settlement.
Built for the Stablecoin Industry. Alchemy is a retail and institutional platform designed for the rapidly growing stablecoin industry. Its compliance-focused architecture is built to support gold-linked payments, yield, lending and borrowing, cross-chain interoperability and open-ecosystem DeFi applications that third-party developers can build on.
Institutional Gold Infrastructure on Ethereum Layer 2. For institutions, Alchemy provides gold-based infrastructure spanning gold as a currency, gold-collateralized USD products and gold-backed financial products. Running on an Ethereum-based Layer 2 network, it is designed to bring gold’s stability on-chain as a foundation for future industry products.
Proprietary Yield Engines. Alchemy’s proprietary yield engines for gold and USD are designed to power institutional products targeting competitive returns by bridging traditional and decentralized markets.
Self-Custody for Retail. A planned self-custody retail wallet is designed to give users direct access to gold-linked payments, yield and DeFi applications while keeping control of their own assets.
“Stablecoins have proven the demand for digital money. The next question is what that money is anchored to,” said Simon Rahme, Co-Founder and CTO, BullionFX | Alchemy. “We engineered Alchemy’s Layer 2 so that gold sits inside the settlement layer itself rather than on top of it. That gives developers and institutions a base for payments, lending and yield products, with reserves designed to be verifiable on-chain.”
