George Town, British Virgin Islands, September 1st, 2026, Chainwire
Aster, the privacy-first onchain trading platform backed by YZi Labs, today announced the kickoff of USD1 RWA Boost: Phase 1 with World Liberty Financial (WLFI), featuring 125,000,000 $WLFI and 6,250,000 USD1 in rewards.
The campaign builds on AOS-2, Aster's earlier expansion of its Aster Open Standards (AOS) framework from spot markets to perpetuals.
Leonard, CEO at Aster, said: "AOS-2 is turning Aster from a decentralized perp exchange into an open infrastructure layer where anyone can launch and operate their own perpetual markets on top of Aster Chain. The first USD1 RWA perpetuals show that model is already working."
AOS-2: A Published Standard for Perpetual Listings
AOS-2 is Aster’s standardized, onchain framework for initiating perpetual market listings, enabling projects to propose new markets through a transparent and automated process.
Applicants stake 1 million $ASTER, locked for four years with no early exit, before the proposal goes to an onchain validator vote. If approved, Aster's risk team configures the market and the perpetual can go live as early as T+1; if rejected, the stake is returned in full.
Listing access runs on published onchain rules, while leverage and other trading parameters stay under Aster's risk controls, letting Aster bring new markets to traders faster without giving up risk management.
USD1 RWA Boost Phase 1: 125M $WLFI + 6.25M USD1 in Rewards
The campaign runs from August 31 through December 31, 2026, covering SPCX/USD1, CL/USD1, XAU/USD1, SNDK/USD1, SKHYNIX/USD1, and MU/USD1.
Users earn Trading Points through taker volume on eligible USD1 pairs, which determine their share of the USD1 reward pool, while Open Interest (OI) Points are earned by holding eligible positions and determine their share of the $WLFI reward pool. Traders using Single Asset Mode with USD1 as collateral receive a 2x boost on OI Points. Rewards are calculated across weekly epochs and distributed the following week.
"When real-world assets trade onchain, the settlement asset matters as much as the market itself. Perpetuals on gold, energy, and equities, all denominated in USD1, give traders one dollar instrument across every one of these markets, and that is what stablecoins were built to do. We are supporting these markets because this is where onchain market structure is heading, and Phase 1 is only the start,” said Zach Witkoff, Co-Founder and CEO at World Liberty Financial.
Building the Frontier of Onchain Trading
AOS-2 gives Aster a repeatable, onchain path for bringing new markets to the platform, and the first USD1 RWA perpetual listings show that path is already at work. Paired with the ecosystem support from Aster and WLFI, the launch turns a new listing framework into real trading activity from day one.
As more real-world and crypto-native assets move onchain, Aster aims to become a leading venue for bringing new asset markets onchain. The map gets bigger from here.

ALKEMYA METACORE SCSp SECURES INITIAL USD 50 MILLION INVESTMENT AHEAD OF LISTING OF TOKENISED EQUITY NICKEL OFFERING
Alkemya Luxembourg S.à.r.l. (“Alkemya”), the sponsor, is pleased to announce that Alkemya Metacore SCSp has secured USD 50 million in a pre-launch capital raise for its precision industrial nickel wire business backed by Class 1 nickel wire. It is announcing the sale of additional ALKN tokens in a new tranche (the “Token”) at USD 1.0 per Token.
The offer, which is being arranged by Hanover Square Capital (UK) Ltd, will take place on Bitfinex Securities. The offer is available to institutional and professional investors and will close on 15 October 2026.
The Tokens are issued by Alkemya Metacore SCSp (“Alkemya Metacore”), a special limited partnership based in Luxembourg, which is registered as an Issuer with CNAD (National Commission of Digital Assets) in El Salvador.
Alkemya Metacore is a Luxembourg-based investment and operating platform focused on the industrial development, commercialisation, and financial structuring of high-technology metals. It owns approximately 7 million metres of 99.99% ultra-pure nickel wire with 0.025 mm diameter, which has been independently verified and valued at approximately USD 1.64 billion. The asset is held in institutional custody in Lugano, Switzerland.
Alkemya will use part of the initial capital raise and further funds raised in additional tranches to invest working capital in Alkemya Metacore to finance its commercialisation strategy of transforming its ultra-pure wire into engineered mesh products tailored to high-growth applications across seven sectors: EMI shielding, aerospace and defence, marine and desalination, power and industrials, semiconductors, green hydrogen and rare/precious metals recovery.
The successful capital raise, before secondary market listing, represents a major milestone for the offering and demonstrates confidence in the underlying exposure to high-purity nickel and the structure of the issue. The Token affords investors a combination of an asset-backed investment and a thematic play on energy transition and electronic security technologies.
The listing on Bitfinex Securities of the Token will enable Alkemya to leverage tokenisation to access a wider pool of global investors and be part of a regulated, 24/7 trading venue.
The Tokens aim to provide long-term investment value linked to real-world applications and technology.
Cash distributions will be governed by a strict waterfall that first returns investor capital in full, cumulative distributions equal to a 6% per annum compound interest calculated annually (i.e., the preferred return) on the investor capital at any time outstanding, from the date of payment of the same up to the date of final repayment of the invested capital and an additional 80/20 profit split with a carry partner in favour of Token holders from the commercial business.
Carlo Guido Della Peruta, Manager of the General Partner of Alkemya Metacore, commented: "Securing this initial investment is a significant milestone for Alkemya and validates both the quality of our asset and the strength of our commercialisation strategy. We chose to list on Bitfinex Securities because tokenisation offers us access to a genuinely global investor base within a regulated framework, and because it reflects the innovative approach we are taking across all aspects of our business. This raise will allow us to begin transforming our nickel wire asset into high-value engineered products serving some of the fastest-growing sectors in the global economy, and we look forward to welcoming further investors as the listing progresses."
Jesse Knutson, Head of Operations at Bitfinex Securities, commented: “Bitfinex Securities exists to connect exciting investment opportunities with a broader and deeper investor base, giving more people access to investments that were previously out of reach and giving businesses access to a wider pool of capital. Alkemya Metacore will represent yet another example of how we’re using blockchain technology to bring previously inaccessible asset classes to market within stringent regulatory guardrails, and Alkemya’s initial $50 million capital raise is a sign of appetite for this exciting opportunity.”
Arvinder Sood, CEO and Director at Hanover Square Capital (UK) Ltd, said: "Hanover Square Capital is delighted to announce this transaction in collaboration with Bitfinex Securities and its successful pre-launch close of USD 50 million investment, which not only underscores the evolving direction of global capital markets but also establishes a compelling foundation for a groundbreaking transaction with the launch of ALKN tokens. This milestone reflects a broader structural shift in how financial assets are created, accessed, and exchanged, as traditional frameworks increasingly converge with digital innovation. By embracing tokenised equity, the transaction highlights a more efficient, transparent, and accessible model for capital formation, one that is better aligned with the demands of modern investors and issuers alike, with the capacity to trade on a peer-to-peer basis.
Hanover Square Capital believes that this transaction not only validates that trajectory but also signals the growing importance of blockchain-enabled solutions in redefining how assets are issued, managed, and traded on a global scale."
Bitfinex Securities provides a regulated venue for the issuance and trading of tokenised securities, combining blockchain technology with regulated market access for issuers and eligible investors.
The offering was advised by the following law firms: CMS DeBacker in Luxembourg (as regards Luxembourg law aspects), Dentons El Salvador (as regards El Salvador law aspects), Foley and Lardner in the US (as regards US law aspects), and CNPLaw LLP in Singapore (as regards Singapore law aspects). Winston Taylor acted for Bitfinex Securities. The Edison Group advised on investor relations and issued a pre-IPO research note. The ALKN tokens will be available for trading across three regulated exchanges: Bitfinex Securities, AGX (operated by LabyrinthX Technologies Pte Ltd, a company in the Hydra X group) and Archax Ltd. HydraX Digital Assets Pte. Ltd. is the custodian and distribution partner in Asia, with Archax playing a similar role in the UK. Scytale, the technology firm, is providing onboarding technology services for compliance to Alkemya Metacore under Luxembourg and EU law.

Dortmund, Germany, September 1st, 2026, Chainwire
On 15 and 16 September 2026, the Dortmund industrial landmark turns into a platform for AI, blockchain, digital assets and emerging tech – with speakers from Microsoft, Google Cloud, Deloitte, PwC, Chainlink and many more. Admission is free on both days; registration is mandatory as capacity is limited.
CONF3RENCE is doing things differently in 2026. On 15 and 16 September 2026, it will run for the first time as a curated event campus at Kokerei Hansa in Dortmund – not as a classic conference, but as a two-day platform where new technology meets the real economy. The guiding line stays deliberately sober: "Less hype. More outcomes."
From industrial monument to deep tech campus
Kokerei Hansa is more than a backdrop. Where coal was once turned into coke, 2026 is about compute, data and digital value. The venue itself stands for the shift CONF3RENCE puts on stage: from the Ruhr region's industrial past to the technologies shaping its future. The campus combines stage programming, workshops, exhibition space, show elements, food and activations at one of Europe's most striking industrial sites.
Two days, two audiences – open to all
Day 1 (15 September) – Business & Institutions. Curated for corporates, the Mittelstand, investors, C-level and the public sector. The focus is on partnerships, concrete projects, deal flow and measurable outcomes – conversations between decision-makers, not between commentators.
Day 2 (16 September) – Adoption & Community. Open to communities, users and the wider public, with hands-on product experience, onboarding and knowledge transfer at the centre. If you would rather try technology than only talk about it, this is your day.
New for 2026: admission to both days is free. CONF3RENCE has removed the ticket barrier entirely – including the previous VIP tier – to open the campus to the widest possible audience. Because capacity at Kokerei Hansa is limited, registration in advance is mandatory for both days.
A programme grounded in practice
Around 20 speakers are already confirmed, with more announced on a rolling basis. The stages feature representatives from Microsoft, Google Cloud, IBM, Deloitte, Chainlink, Gemini, PwC, SwissBorg, Bullish, Stellar Foundation, Litecoin Foundation and Union Investment, among others. Topics range from enterprise AI to regulated digital assets, tokenisation and stablecoins, through to Web3 and new SaaS models. The goal is always the same: not to celebrate trends, but to show what actually works in practice.
Part of a regional ecosystem
CONF3RENCE 2026 sits within a broader setting. It is part of the festival FATT (Festival of Arts, Tech & Taste), running 15 to 21 September at the same venue and connecting technology with culture, art and cuisine. The campus is also built on collaboration with the Digitale Woche Dortmund (diwodo). In doing so, CONF3RENCE brings a B2B audience, the tech community and the general public together in one place – while anchoring itself in one of Europe's strongest economic regions.
Registration and information
Attendance is free on both days. Registration is required and available via the event website; places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis while capacity lasts. Full details at www.conf3rence.com.
About CONF3RENCE 2026
CONF3RENCE is a business-first deep tech platform focused on real-world adoption rather than hype. In 2026 it takes place on 15 and 16 September as an event campus at Kokerei Hansa in Dortmund, covering AI, blockchain, finance, digital assets and SaaS. CONF3RENCE is organised by SOLV3 GmbH

Dubai, UAE, August 28th, 2026, Chainwire
Shyft’s first two vaults are nearly open.
Shyft is nearing pre-deposits for shCORE and shYIELD, its first two Ethereum-based vaults, with inaugural strategies defined and both vault contracts already deployed on mainnet.
Ahead of opening, Shyft has partnered with GAP3 Partners FZCO as Co-Curator of both vaults.
GAP3, the Gulf’s first licensed Virtual Asset Investment Advisor, holds an active VASP licence from Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) for Advisory Services.
As Co-Curator, GAP3 provides research, analysis and recommendations to Shyft on vault strategy. With the inaugural allocations for shCORE and shYIELD now defined, GAP3 is working with Shyft on the curation framework around both vaults as the products move toward pre-deposits.
The first allocations are now coming into public view.
shYIELD
shYIELD carries the higher target return of Shyft’s two inaugural vaults. Its allocation combines Radiant Prime, Maple syrupUSDC and Gauntlet USD Alpha.
Radiant Prime is a fully hedged, market-neutral, multi-factor strategy executed across centralized exchanges, where deep liquidity supports efficient scaling. The strategy seeks returns from relative-value and basis opportunities while actively managing market, liquidity and counterparty risk.
Maple syrupUSDC adds onchain credit. syrupUSDC is an ERC-4626 vault whose yield comes primarily from institutional lending through Maple’s credit markets.
Gauntlet USD Alpha adds a separate stablecoin strategy spanning DeFi lending and delta-neutral opportunities.
Each sleeve earns through a different mechanism. shYIELD combines them within one professionally curated vault rather than relying on a single protocol or return source.
shCORE
shCORE is built around a more balanced yield mix. The vault combines Radiant Prime, Ondo USDY and Sky sUSDS, with a smaller Radiant Prime allocation than shYIELD.
Ondo USDY brings tokenized dollar yield into the vault through exposure backed by short-duration U.S. government securities and bank deposits.
Sky sUSDS provides liquid onchain dollar yield through the Sky Savings Rate, with yield reflected in the exchange rate between sUSDS and USDS.
Radiant Prime provides the market-neutral trading component of the allocation, giving shCORE a separate return source alongside its dollar-yield positions.
The two vaults start with distinct strategy mixes while operating through the same Shyft infrastructure.
Already Deployed on Ethereum
The shYIELD contract and shCORE contract are deployed on Ethereum mainnet.
Both use Ember, which supplies the vault technology, security, permissioning and operational controls behind Shyft’s infrastructure. Ember has published independent smart-contract audits covering the underlying system.
Once capital enters a vault, it is routed into dedicated strategy accounts according to the defined allocation. The onchain sleeves can be tracked through their respective contracts and accounting mechanisms.
Radiant Prime requires a different reporting path because its trading takes place on centralized exchanges.
Source-Level Reporting for Offchain Strategies
A block explorer cannot show positions held and traded inside centralized exchange accounts.
Accountable connects directly to the exchange accounts used by Radiant Prime through read-only APIs and independently calculates and verifies the quantitative data behind NAV, P&L, allocation and historical performance.
RedStone is independently verifying Radiant Prime through its own direct connections to the underlying exchange accounts, covering portfolio data including NAV, P&L, exposure and capital deployment.
Radiant Prime has also integrated Chainlink Proof of Reserve, bringing the strategy’s reported NAV and reserve data into an onchain verification path.
For Maple, Gauntlet, Ondo and Sky, valuation is derived through their respective onchain balances, share prices, redemption prices and contract accounting.
Together, these systems give allocators source-level visibility into the data behind vault reporting, including strategies that cannot be inspected directly on Ethereum.
Pre-Deposits Are Next
shCORE and shYIELD pre-deposits are expected to open soon.
Access details, final allocations and pre-deposit terms will be published through shyft.finance and @Shyft_Finance.
About Shyft
Shyft Finance is a purpose-built yield management platform giving institutional and retail allocators self-custodial access to professionally curated vaults spanning DeFi, private credit, T-bills, real-world assets and market-neutral trading strategies.
By unifying institutional-grade opportunities with specialized infrastructure and source-level reporting, Shyft brings the full yield stack together, making sophisticated strategies easier to access, evaluate and verify.

BERKELEY, California, August 28th, 2026, Chainwire
New product lets users become liquidity providers through natural-language commands with AI agents managing positions 24/7
Bankr, the financial infrastructure platform for AI agents, launched the first natural-language liquidity provision product for tokenized stocks, built on Aerodrome, the leading decentralized exchange on Base. Users can now buy supported Coinbase Tokenized Stocks and deploy them as liquidity with a single typed command — participating in value that has historically accrued to a small number of professional market-making firms.
The launch coincides with Coinbase Tokenized Stocks going live natively on Base under the B20 standard, with Aerodrome serving as a primary liquidity venue for assets including tokenized Apple and NVIDIA shares.
Providing liquidity for equities has long been the domain of specialized trading firms with proprietary infrastructure and privileged market access. In 2025, the largest US market maker posted a record $12.2 billion in trading revenue. Tokenized stocks are opening that role for the first time: onchain tokenized equity volume has grown roughly 800% this year, and 55% of that trading now happens outside traditional US market hours — when no traditional market maker is quoting.
Bankr's product is built for exactly that gap. Users create and manage concentrated liquidity positions on Aerodrome without configuring price ranges manually. Bankr's agent monitors and rebalances positions continuously as prices move — including overnight, on weekends, and whenever traditional markets are closed. Users initiate and control all positions; the agent operates within parameters the user has approved.
Since tokenized stocks went live on Base on Monday, Aerodrome has facilitated $103M in tokenized stock trading volume across four pools, proving 24/7 liquidity for stock trading.
"Market making stocks has been a closed club for thirty years. Coinbase and Aerodrome made it permissionless and onchain. We just made it a sentence you type," said 0xDeployer, founder of Bankr.
Coinbase Tokenized Stocks are onchain certificates backed by underlying shares held in segregated custody with regulated custodians. Full details on the token structure, eligibility, and redemption are available in Coinbase's announcement: [https://blog.base.org/tokenized-stocks].
Coinbase Tokenized Stocks are available only in eligible jurisdictions outside the United States and may be subject to identity verification and other eligibility requirements. Liquidity provision carries risks including price movement, impermanent loss, adverse selection, and smart contract risk.
Liquidity providers are the backbone of deep, functional onchain liquidity. Lowering the barrier to providing this is essential to keeping markets healthy as onchain finance grows," said Alex Cutler CEO and Cofounder of Dromos Labs and Core Contributor to Aerodrome.
About Bankr
Bankr is the financial OS for the agent economy. It pairs a natural-language agentic terminal — trading, automation, and wallet functionality — with a builder platform for launching and monetizing AI agents onchain. Bankr operates on Base and Robinhood Chain. Learn more at bankr.bot.
About Aerodrome
Aerodrome is the essential trading and liquidity hub of Base. As the network's leading decentralized exchange (DEX), Aerodrome unlocks high-efficiency execution for traders and sustainable rewards for liquidity providers. For builders and issuers, Aerodrome is the DEX of choice for launching, bootstrapping, and growing liquid markets for new and existing tokens. . Since launching in August 2023, the protocol has processed over $430B in cumulative trading volume and distributed over $488M in revenue to token holders. Learn more at aerodrome.finance.

Washington, United States, August 28th, 2026, Chainwire
As prediction-market volume hits record highs and regulators circle, identically worded midterm questions are trading several points apart depending on the venue. Predictions.io now tracks 9,700+ markets across Kalshi, Polymarket and Manifold in one place - with free fee and odds calculators so traders can see what a price actually costs them.
Prediction markets have never been bigger, or more contested. Kalshi, Polymarket and Polymarket US together posted a record $50.59 billion in combined volume in July, with Kalshi accounting for roughly 74.5% of the total. In the same month, New York City opened a probe into both leading venues, a Washington judge ordered Kalshi to halt most wagers in the state, and the CFTC began an internal review of so-called “mention markets.”
Amid that scrutiny, a simpler question has gone largely unexamined: when two venues list the same question, do they agree on the answer?
Often, they do not. On identically worded midterm markets tracked by Predictions.io, “Blue tsunami in 2026?” was priced at 44.5% on Polymarket and 36.0% on Kalshi. “Blue wave in 2026?” showed 82.5% against 74.0%. Both gaps are 8.5 percentage points — on questions whose wording is identical on the two venues. Across a sample of directly comparable binary markets live on more than one venue, the median gap was more than four points, and nearly half of the pairs differed by five points or more. (Prices as of 05:08 UTC on 28 August 2026; both venues’ live prices are shown side by side on Predictions.io.)
Those gaps matter to anyone quoting a single number. A market priced at 44.5% on one venue and 36.0% on another does not have one “market-implied probability” - it has two, and which one gets cited is arbitrary unless the reader is told both.
“A single venue’s price is a data point. The spread between venues is the information. When the two biggest markets in the world disagree by seven points on the same sentence, that disagreement is the story - and nobody who runs one of those markets is in a position to report it.” said spokesperson of Predictions.io
Predictions.io aggregates markets from Kalshi, Polymarket and Manifold, matching equivalent questions across venues so the same event can be compared directly. The platform currently tracks more than 9,700 event pages across 23 categories including US politics, economics, crypto, sport and geopolitics.
Alongside the comparison pages, Predictions.io publishes two free tools:
● Fee Calculator — enter any trade and see the fee, total outlay and effective all-in price on each venue, including Kalshi’s 0.07 × P × (1−P) taker formula and maker discount against Polymarket’s zero-fee standard markets.

● Odds Converter — convert American, decimal and fractional odds into implied probability and prediction-market prices, and see the vig-free line.

A direct venue comparison is available at https://predictions.io/compare/polymarket-vs-kalshi, and live midterms markets at https://predictions.io/lobby/us-politics.
Predictions.io operates no market and takes no position in any contract. It is a data and comparison service, not an exchange, broker or investment adviser.
About Predictions.io
Predictions.io is an independent aggregator of prediction markets, bringing prices from Kalshi, Polymarket and Manifold into a single view so the same question can be compared across venues.

Singapore, Singapore, August 27th, 2026, Chainwire
TermMax, a fixed-rate lending protocol built by Term Structure Labs, announced on August 26 that it has received a strategic investment from YZi Labs. Terms were not disclosed.
TermMax was selected for YZi Labs’ EASY Residency Season 3 and has raised more than $8 million to date. Its earlier backers include Cumberland DRW — which led the 2023 seed round — HashKey Capital, Decima Fund, Longling Capital and MZ Web3 Fund.
The protocol has been live on mainnet since April 2025 and now runs across 10 EVM-compatible chains, with 60 fixed-rate markets, 40 strategy vaults, tens of millions of dollars in total value locked and more than 1.5 million registered wallets. Keyrock, Hardcore Labs, Edge Capital and Origami serve as Curators, managing strategy vaults on the protocol. The $TMX token completed its TGE on August 25.
The investor’s own public position points to the gap this investment is meant to fill. In an August 14 post describing what it wants to see built, YZi Labs wrote that tokenized blue-chip equities have reached meaningful volume, but that the financial application layer around them — credit, collateral management, risk transfer and structured products — remains underdeveloped, and that options and other risk-transfer products in particular remain conspicuously absent.
YZi Labs placed this investment precisely where that gap sits.
“When I left banking, there were a few hundred billion dollars of assets sitting on-chain without a single directly observable interest rate curve between them. In traditional markets, that would be unheard of. That is what made me decide to build this infrastructure on-chain.” - Jerry Li, Co-founder and CEO, TermMax.
Tokenized equities are the fastest-growing asset class on-chain, now at $2.48 billion, with holder count up 165% in 30 days.
TermMax integrated Ondo Global Markets in January 2026 to launch the first fixed-rate borrowing market to accept tokenized U.S. equities as collateral, then added Binance’s bStock. In August it went live on Robinhood Chain, where QQQ, SPY and NVDA can be posted against USDG.
But financing is only half of what tokenized equities need. Nearly all of this year’s tokenized-equity infrastructure has gone into perpetual futures, and almost none into options.
TermMax Alpha is where that changes: physical delivery options, with no liquidation before expiry. The conversion price is fixed when the position is opened, and the position is settled by physical delivery at expiry. A directionally correct position therefore cannot be knocked out by a few minutes of volatile trading in thin liquidity — the failure mode that makes perpetuals unsuitable at the illiquid end of tokenized equities.
This no-liquidation design rests on a choice running through the whole protocol: when liquidation does happen, it settles by physical delivery, with collateral delivered directly to the lender rather than sold into the market. The usual assumption — that collateral can be sold at fair value on demand — holds for ETH and fails for a tokenized equity with a few million dollars of depth.
On the institutional side, TermPrime completed its first live trade on Canton Network at the end of June and has since grown its counterparty network to nine institutions.
TermMax runs an early validator node on Canton, and TermPrime is ready to support lending business for institutions there through open markets.
TermMax holds a DeFiSafety Process Quality Review score of 93%, matching Aave V3.
“What we set out to do is not to teach traditional institutions DeFi. It is to let DeFi grow into something professional enough to genuinely serve finance.” - Jerry Li, Co-founder and CEO, TermMax.
What TermMax wants to be is not another lending protocol, but the on-chain interest rate curve itself.
About TermMax
TermMax is a fixed-rate, fixed-term borrowing and lending marketplace built by Term Structure Labs, live on mainnet since April 2025 and deployed across 10 EVM-compatible chains, where it runs 60 fixed-rate markets and 40 strategy vaults. The protocol splits debt into three tradable tokens: FT (principal), XT (interest and option value) and GT (an ERC-721 receipt for leveraged positions). Professional Curators set target APR ranges across isolated markets and manage strategy vaults, and liquidations settle by physical delivery of collateral. Co-founder and CEO Jerry Li has 25 years in global financial markets and served as Managing Director at Deutsche Bank, running fixed income and FX for Greater China.

Berlin, Germany, August 27th, 2026, Chainwire
The second four-week app building competition offers $17,000 to developers, AI builders and indie hackers and over $50,000 in total prizes.
Nimiq is opening Cycle II of its popular Mini Apps Competition on Aug. 24, giving developers, AI builders and indie hackers four weeks to compete for $17,000 in prizes by building open-source applications for Nimiq Pay.
Cycle II runs through Sept. 18 and follows an inaugural round that attracted 62 Mini App submissions. It is the second of three competition cycles offering more than $50,000 in total prizes to builders creating applications through the Nimiq Pay Mini Apps Framework.
The framework allows developers to build and host their own lightweight web applications while using Nimiq Pay as the environment through which users access them. Nimiq Pay provides wallet functionality and payment rails, while builders retain control of their applications, infrastructure and intellectual property.
For builders, the model is designed to reduce some of the friction associated with conventional app distribution. Mini Apps can be made available to Nimiq Pay users without submission fees, platform commissions or revenue sharing, while payment functionality is available directly through Nimiq Pay.
Nimiq is beginning to roll out its renewed vision for the future of payments: an open framework that lets developers bring their own creations directly into its payment app.
"This is an 'App Store moment' for crypto payments," said Max Burger, Executive Director at Nimiq. "Developers can ship extensions to Nimiq payment experience and put it in front of real users immediately, inside an app where it works with everything else, not in a silo."
The Nimiq Pay Mini App Framework is designed to address some of the friction developers face after an app is built and traditionally submitted to iOS and Android app stores. Builders can make their apps available through Nimiq Pay without submission fees, platform commissions or revenue sharing, while retaining ownership of the applications they create.
Nimiq Pay also provides the wallet and payment functionality used by Mini Apps, reducing the amount of infrastructure builders need to create themselves before they can launch. That allows developers to spend more time on the product itself rather than setting up payment flows or adapting to a separate platform's monetization requirements.
The competition is aimed at developers, AI-builders, vibe coders and indie hackers. Participants can use AI development tools throughout the build process, and eligible applications can include games, productivity tools, marketplaces, social experiences and other web apps.
Cycle II opens Aug. 24, giving builders four weeks to turn an idea into a working Mini App and put it in front of Nimiq Pay users. Developers, AI builders and indie hackers can register and access the Mini Apps Framework, competition rules and starter resources at miniappscompetition.com.
About Nimiq
Nimiq is an open-source technology project currently undergoing a broader strategic and structural evolution, including changes to its direction and the components that make up its ecosystem. As part of this next phase, Nimiq is turning its payment app into a platform: developers build Mini-Apps that extend what the app can do, and distribute them instantly to the Nimiq community — an open framework, immediate reach, and experiences that work together instead of living in silos.

TronBid expands its two-sided TRON resource marketplace, giving users new ways to rent Energy, trade Energy and Bandwidth, and reduce USDT fees for TRC-20 transactions.
TronBid, a peer-to-peer marketplace for TRON network resources, has expanded its platform with new tools for users looking to rent TRON Energy, manage transaction costs and access network resources without maintaining large amounts of staked TRX.
The platform now operates as a two-sided marketplace where both buyers and sellers can create orders for TRON Energy and Bandwidth.
Understanding TRON Energy Usage
TRON uses Energy and Bandwidth as its primary network resources. Energy is required for smart-contract computation, including USDT TRC-20 transfers.
When a wallet does not have sufficient Energy, TRX may be consumed to cover the resources required by the transaction. This has created demand for users and businesses to rent Energy instead.
By receiving temporary Energy delegated from another account, users can perform eligible TRON transactions without maintaining enough staked TRX for their maximum resource requirements.
For businesses processing frequent TRC-20 transactions, choosing to rent TRON Energy can therefore provide another way to manage network costs and reduce USDT fees.
A Two-Sided Marketplace for Energy
Unlike platforms where rental conditions are determined entirely by the provider, TronBid allows both sides of the market to create orders.
Buyers can create BUY orders specifying the amount of Energy required, rental duration and price they are willing to pay.
Sellers can create SELL offers with their own amount, price and rental period. Buyers can purchase all or part of these offers directly.
For example, if a seller offers 600,000 Energy, one buyer can rent 350,000 Energy, leaving the remaining amount available for other buyers.
Creating a SELL offer does not reserve the seller's Energy. If resources become unavailable because they are being used elsewhere, recurring offers can automatically pause and become active again when sufficient Energy returns.
This allows sellers to participate in the TronBid marketplace while continuing to manage their resources elsewhere.
Rent Energy Without Waiting for the Marketplace
For users who need resources immediately, TronBid also provides Quick Rent with predefined Energy packages and short rental periods.
Energy can be delivered directly to any specified TRON address, even when payment is made from another wallet.
TronBid has also introduced Flash Recharge, an alternative designed for wallets that already maintain their own Energy capacity but need to manage consumed resources.
Energy and Bandwidth Trading
TronBid's marketplace supports both Energy and Bandwidth, allowing holders of staked TRX to monetize the network resources their stake generates.
This creates two sides of the ecosystem: users who need to rent TRON Energy or Bandwidth and resource owners looking to make unused capacity available to the market.
By allowing both buyers and sellers to determine their own terms, TronBid aims to create more transparent price discovery based on actual supply and demand.
B2B API to Reduce USDT Fees at Scale
TronBid also provides a B2B Quick Rent API for exchanges, payment processors, wallets, OTC services and other businesses processing frequent TRON transactions.
Businesses can maintain a prepaid balance and automatically request Energy for specified TRON addresses before executing transactions.
Instead of manually renting resources for every transfer, companies can integrate Energy rental directly into their transaction infrastructure.
For businesses handling large numbers of USDT TRC-20 transfers, this can make it easier to rent Energy automatically and manage the network-resource component of transaction costs.
TronBid Becomes a TRON SR Partner
Alongside the expansion of its marketplace, TronBid has become a TRON Super Representative Partner, adding the project to TRON's delegated proof-of-stake governance ecosystem.
The development strengthens TronBid's connection with the underlying TRON ecosystem while the platform continues building infrastructure around Energy and Bandwidth.
About TronBid
TronBid is a peer-to-peer marketplace for TRON Energy and Bandwidth. Buyers can rent TRON Energy, create BUY orders or purchase existing seller offers, while resource owners can create SELL offers with their own prices and rental periods.
The platform also provides Quick Rent, Flash Recharge and a B2B API for businesses looking to automate Energy rental and reduce USDT fees for TRC-20 transactions.

THORChain, a decentralized exchange, announced the launch of THORChain 3.20, an upgrade introducing native support for Monero (XMR) and Zcash (ZEC) swaps.
Until now, moving between privacy coins such as XMR or ZEC and the crypto market has required users to rely on centralized exchanges, custodial services, or additional intermediary steps. With THORChain 3.20, users can natively swap XMR and ZEC against assets including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and stablecoins directly through THORChain.
No wrapped versions of XMR or ZEC are required. Users do not need to create an account or hand custody of their assets to a centralized entity. This is a significantly more direct route between privacy-focused cryptocurrencies and the most widely used assets in crypto.
For Monero holders, access to the broader crypto market has become an increasingly important issue as XMR continues to be removed or restricted by centralized exchanges. THORChain’s integration provides an alternative based on native assets and self-custody rather than requiring users to deposit their coins with an exchange.
The release is one of THORChain’s most significant upgrades to date. In addition to Monero and Zcash integration, version 3.20 introduces several broader changes to the protocol, including Protocol-Owned Liquidity (POL) and the new Stable Reserve, alongside renewed support for Solana, Base, and BNB. The Stable Reserve introduces stablecoin-to-stablecoin swaps with no liquidity fees, and Protocol-Owned Liquidity gives THORChain additional mechanisms for deploying protocol capital across the network.
The move builds on THORChain’s core proposition of allowing users to exchange native cryptocurrencies across otherwise disconnected blockchain networks without handing control of their assets to an intermediary.
THORChain already enables native cross-chain swaps across assets including Bitcoin and Ethereum. The addition of privacy-focused networks expands that model into an area of the crypto market where decentralized access has been far more limited until today.
About THORChain
THORChain is a decentralized exchange that enables users to swap native digital assets across different blockchain networks without relying on wrapped assets or centralized custodians. It allows users to exchange assets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other supported cryptocurrencies while maintaining a self-custodial experience.

Zug, Switzerland, August 25th, 2026, Chainwire
The partnership provides AI agents with compliant, dollar-denominated payments via the csprUSD stablecoin through the x402 protocol.
AI agents are already doing real work: researching, negotiating, buying data, and calling paid APIs. As agents move beyond recommending actions to carrying them out and transacting, Gartner predicts that they could intermediate more than $15 trillion in B2B spend by 2028. What they still mostly can't do is pay for any of it without a human holding a credit card. The x402 protocol changes that, turning HTTP's long-dormant "402 Payment Required" status code into a native payment step for machines.
Payouts.com, the financial operating system for humans and AI agents, and the Casper Association, the Swiss non-profit stewarding the Casper Network blockchain, today announced a partnership to bring x402 agent payments into production. Payouts.com will support Casper Network, the first WebAssembly-native Layer 1 running x402 on mainnet, as a settlement rail for its AgentWallet and Digital Employees platform.
Central to the execution is csprUSD, the Casper ecosystem's native stablecoin, designed as the standard settlement asset for agents transacting over Casper's x402 rails: stable, programmable, and enforceable on-chain, so an agent pays for an API call or a dataset in dollars rather than in a volatile asset. Payouts.com provides the governance control layer that governs what an agent may spend, on what, and when; Casper provides csprUSD-denominated settlement with on-chain enforcement, built for regulated and compliance-minded businesses.
Implementation is underway, with the integration rolling out in phases over the coming months. Details will follow through both companies' official channels.
Leor Ceder, CEO & Co-Founder, Payouts.com:​ “The next wave of payment volume won't come from humans clicking checkout buttons, but from AI agents transacting on their behalf. Partnering with Casper gives our customers a settlement rail that is live today, not a roadmap item."
Michael Steuer, President & CTO, Casper Association:​ "Every era of the internet needed a payment layer before it could support real commerce. The browser got the credit card form. The smartphone got the in-app purchase. AI agents are the next buyers on the internet, and until now they've been transacting with borrowed human credentials. Payouts.com built the control layer for it; Casper built the settlement layer, with csprUSD as the currency agents actually transact in. Together, that's a complete stack for agent payments."
About Payouts.com
Payouts.com is an AI native financial operations OS that enables global payouts, AP, AR, tax, compliance, reconciliation, and AI-driven finance workflows globally at scale. With SOC 2 Type II and PCI-DSS Level 1 certifications, Payouts.com handles the full complexity of cross-border disbursements - compliance, KYC, FX, rail selection, and recipient identity.

Dubai, UAE, August 25th, 2026, Chainwire
Aconomy today announced the two-year milestone of its Aconomy Card, highlighting the continued availability of its crypto-powered payment solution designed to help users spend digital assets directly on everyday purchases. The card allows users to top up with supported cryptocurrencies and automatically convert their digital assets into local currency at the point of sale, removing the need for a separate cash-out or exchange process.
The milestone comes as crypto adoption continues to move beyond holding and trading digital assets toward practical everyday use. Since its launch two years ago, the Aconomy Card has been designed to give crypto holders a familiar way to use their digital assets for purchases, including groceries, travel, and other everyday expenses.
A Simple Idea, Executed Well
The mechanics are straightforward. Users top up the card with crypto, and at the point of sale, that balance converts into local currency automatically. The transaction looks and feels like any standard card payment. There is no manual cash-out process, no separate exchange step, and no delay while funds settle. The complexity is handled entirely behind the scenes, leaving the user with an experience that mirrors traditional banking, powered by digital assets.
No Spending Limits, By Design
Where the Aconomy Card distinguishes itself most clearly is in what it does not do. Unlike many crypto cards that impose daily or monthly spending caps, the Aconomy Card places no ceiling on usage. Cardholders determine how much to load and how much to spend, without an artificial threshold dictating either decision.
This is a deliberate design choice, not an oversight. Spending limits on competing products are typically built to manage platform risk. Aconomy's approach instead places that decision-making authority with the individual holding the assets, treating digital currency the way a bank would treat cash in an account: available in full, on the user's terms.
Built for Global, Everyday Use
The card supports a range of major digital assets, including BTC, ETH, USDT and USDC, and is accepted anywhere Visa or Mastercard is used, covering the vast majority of merchants worldwide. It integrates directly with Apple Pay, Google Wallet and Samsung Wallet, allowing for contactless payments through the same mobile wallets users already rely on for their traditional cards.
A dedicated mobile app, available on iOS and Android, gives users real-time visibility into balances and transaction history, while customer support operates 24 hours a day, reflecting the reality that crypto markets, unlike traditional banking hours, never fully close. The card's security infrastructure is built to match standard bank-grade protections, reinforcing that it is designed for everyday reliability rather than as a novelty product.
Key Benefits at a Glance
No daily or monthly spending limits, giving users full control over how much they load and spend.
Support for multiple cryptocurrencies, including BTC, ETH, USDT, and other supported digital assets.
Worldwide acceptance, usable anywhere Visa or Mastercard is accepted.
A dedicated mobile app for managing the card, available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Mobile wallet support through Apple Pay, Google Wallet, and Samsung Wallet for fast, contactless payments.
Round-the-clock customer support from a dedicated team.
Secure payments, built on reliable card security standards.
Industry Adoption of Integrated Digital Finance
The significance of the Aconomy Card extends beyond its feature set. It represents a broader shift within digital finance, one in which crypto is increasingly built to integrate with how people already live and spend, rather than requiring them to adapt to crypto's terms. As the industry continues to mature, products that remove friction rather than add complexity are likely to define which platforms earn long-term trust from users.
Two years into its run, the Aconomy Card stands as a working example of that shift already in motion: a card without limits, built for a global user base, and increasingly treated not as an experiment, but as an everyday financial tool.
About Aconomy
Aconomy is a digital finance company focused on making crypto more practical for everyday use. Through its crypto card solutions, Aconomy enables users to spend supported digital assets for everyday purchases while maintaining control over their funds. The company's products are designed with a focus on accessibility, privacy, and flexibility, helping bridge the gap between digital assets and everyday payments.

New infrastructure enables open competition for Solana blockspace while introducing programmable block policies for validators
Flowra today announced the launch of its Open Orderflow Auction (OOA), a new block-building framework for Solana designed to introduce open competition into the network's MEV market and increase validator revenue.
The Open Orderflow Auction allows registered searchers to compete for transaction inclusion through a transparent auction rather than relying on closed orderflow channels. By opening blockspace to competitive bidding, Flowra aims to improve price discovery and enable validators to capture a greater share of the value generated by MEV.
In early testing on a single validator, a Flowra-enabled setup increased compute units per block by 20.6%, moving that validator from 84% to 101% of the network average, alongside higher block fees than comparable validator software and 100% block production with 99.999% block engine uptime
In addition to the auction, Flowra is introducing Programmable Block Policy, which allows validators to define their own transaction inclusion policies at the block-building layer. The feature is designed to give validators greater operational flexibility, including the ability to meet regulatory or institutional compliance requirements without changing the underlying Solana protocol. They recently announced a collaboration with compliance infrastructure provider Honeypot to bring sanctions and risk screening to this layer.
"Solana's performance has made it one of the industry's leading blockchain networks, but its MEV market remains largely concentrated," said Harry Hwang , CEO at Flowra. "By opening block building to transparent competition, we're creating a more efficient market for blockspace while giving validators greater control over how their blocks are constructed with full verifiability and auditability."
Flowra's architecture is inspired by the competitive block-building model that emerged on Ethereum, where open bidding significantly increased proposer revenue. The company believes Solana's high throughput and low-latency design make it well suited for a similar market-based approach to block building.
Flowra is currently onboarding institutional-grade validators to the Open Orderflow Auction, with a broader rollout to follow as the network expands. The Open Orderflow Auction is now available to validators and searchers participating in the Solana ecosystem.
About Flowra
Flowra is a blockchain infrastructure company building validator and order flow solutions for the Solana ecosystem. The company develops technology designed to improve transaction transparency, value distribution, and incentive alignment across validators, users, and builders. Through its validator infrastructure, delegation programs, and MEV-related technologies, Flowra aims to create a more open, efficient, and scalable foundation for the next generation of blockchain networks.

MONTREUX, Switzerland, August 23rd, 2026, Chainwire
New whitepaper puts the claim into math, detailing one liquidity reserve designed to power trading, lending, leverage and limit orders while idle capital earns yield.
Everything Protocol has published a whitepaper detailing its answer to one of decentralized finance’s fundamental structural problems: fragmented liquidity. Its proposed solution is to replace separate pools for different financial primitives with a single reserve that simultaneously powers swaps, lending, leverage and limit orders.
The premise is simple: DeFi capital should not have to choose one job.
Today, decentralized exchanges use liquidity to price trades, money markets maintain separate capital for lending, and leveraged positions and order books introduce additional infrastructure. Everything Protocol argues that separating these functions leaves capital fragmented across protocols and introduces additional dependencies when assets, liquidity and risk must move between them.
“The Everything Protocol” whitepaper proposes collapsing those functions into one balance sheet. One reserve simultaneously prices trades, backs loans and leveraged positions, and supports resting limit orders, allowing the same liquidity to serve multiple financial primitives rather than remaining dedicated to a single use.
The result is what Everything Protocol describes as full capital efficiency: liquidity deposited into the system can generate swap fees while supporting the credit market, while eligible capital resting in limit orders can opt into lending and earn borrower interest until those orders execute.
The whitepaper goes beyond presenting this as a conceptual model. It sets out the mathematical mechanisms, accounting rules and solvency invariants intended to make the unified architecture work under adversarial market conditions.
A central part of that design is removing another point of fragmentation: the external price oracle.
Instead of importing a price from another venue, Everything Protocol uses an internal price band derived from the pool’s own trading state and time. The band remains fixed within a block and adjusts through predefined decay and clamp rules, with the architecture designed so short-lived price manipulation cannot loosen credit conditions in an attacker’s favor within the same block.
Credit and liquidity are similarly connected. Because the pool that lends is also the pool that prices and absorbs liquidations, borrowing capacity can be shaped according to the depth available within the protocol’s own curve. Rather than extending credit based on an assumption that collateral can later be sold somewhere else, the model is designed around the liquidity that will actually be responsible for absorbing a liquidation.
Everything Protocol applies the same principle to limit orders. Orders and loans operate on a shared geometric tick grid, while resting order capital can optionally be lent until execution. The system therefore treats trading liquidity, credit liquidity and order liquidity as different uses of the same underlying capital rather than independent markets.
The whitepaper also addresses what happens when the system comes under stress. Before operations that alter the protocol’s books, the architecture accrues interest, advances its internal price band and processes eligible liquidations. Loans sharing a liquidation tick are aggregated, allowing an entire price level to be processed without individually iterating through every position.
Its solvency model establishes an explicit hierarchy of claims. User escrow is separated from the pricing reserve, filled-order proceeds rank senior, and eligible liquidation losses are written down against the junior liquidity provider tranche first. The protocol is designed to settle exits in actual tokens rather than substitute protocol IOUs, although voluntary exits involving lent capital can be temporarily capacity-gated when sufficient liquidity is unavailable.
This structure is also intended to reduce attack surfaces created when multiple protocols must be composed to provide a single financial experience. Pricing, credit, order execution, liquidation and settlement operate within the same architecture and follow a common state-update process rather than depending on independent protocols to remain synchronized.
The model does not eliminate risk. The whitepaper explicitly identifies trade-offs including potential delays for voluntary exits of lent funds, losses borne by the junior liquidity provider tranche, governance and upgrade risk, and the latency introduced by its internal price-band mechanism.
Everything Protocol’s thesis is nevertheless deliberately ambitious: an exchange, lending market, leverage venue and order system do not inherently need separate pools of capital. They can instead be different functions of one balance sheet.
With its whitepaper, Everything Protocol is putting that thesis into math, presenting a unified liquidity architecture designed to address DeFi’s capital fragmentation, inefficient allocation of liquidity and attack surfaces created by composing multiple independent financial protocols.
About Everything Protocol
Everything Protocol is a decentralized finance protocol designed to combine swaps, lending, leverage and limit orders within a single reserve for each token pair. Its architecture incorporates concentrated-liquidity pricing, an internal price band for credit decisions, tick-based loans and orders, and a unified settlement and solvency framework. Everything Protocol is designed around the principle that the same liquidity can serve multiple financial functions within a single on-chain market.

New York, United States, August 21st, 2026, Chainwire
As cryptocurrency markets spread across more blockchains, exchanges, liquidity pools and wallets, the problem facing traders is no longer a shortage of data. It is figuring out which signals actually matter.
VoidTrace AI is building its answer around a multi-agent AI architecture, using six specialized agents to examine different dimensions of market activity rather than relying on a single general-purpose model. Together, FLOW, CORE, VECTOR, ORBIT, VEIL and ROTOR are designed to transform fragmented blockchain activity into a broader view of how capital is moving across crypto markets. www.voidtraceai.com
The architecture sits at the heart of VoidTrace AI's wider goal: “Trace What the Market Hides.”
VoidTrace AI Uses Multiple AI Agents
A single transaction can reveal relatively little in isolation. But combine wallet movements with liquidity changes, stablecoin concentration, momentum and sector rotation, and a much more detailed picture can begin to emerge.
VoidTrace AI separates these analytical responsibilities between specialized agents.
Instead of asking one AI system to interpret everything simultaneously, each agent focuses on a particular category of market behavior. Their outputs can then contribute to the platform's wider intelligence layer.
This structure is designed to make the system capable of examining the market from several perspectives at once.
FLOW Agent: Following Capital Across Chains
FLOW focuses on capital movement.
Its role is to monitor cross-chain flows, inflows and outflows, helping identify where liquidity is entering or leaving different parts of the market.
In an increasingly multi-chain ecosystem, that matters because capital can move between networks and protocols long before the effects become obvious through price action alone.
FLOW is intended to make those movements easier to follow.
CORE Agent: Measuring Where Liquidity Is Concentrated
While FLOW watches movement, CORE looks more closely at liquidity concentration.
The agent analyzes factors such as stablecoin concentration, liquidity depth and capital density.
Stablecoins often function as deployable capital within crypto markets. Understanding where that liquidity is accumulating could therefore provide another perspective on areas attracting or losing market attention.
CORE gives VoidTrace AI a specialized layer for examining that underlying liquidity structure.
VECTOR Agent: Tracking Momentum and Direction
VECTOR focuses on movement and acceleration.
Its job is to measure liquidity momentum, strength and directional acceleration, helping the platform distinguish between capital that is simply present and capital that may be beginning to move.
That distinction can be important in fast-moving markets.
Instead of looking only at a static snapshot, VECTOR is designed to examine the direction and intensity behind changing liquidity conditions.
ORBIT Agent: Looking for Liquidity's Next Destination
ORBIT takes the analysis another step by examining where migrating liquidity could potentially move next.
Rather than concentrating solely on historical flows, the agent is designed to forecast potential destinations for migrating liquidity.
That gives the VoidTrace architecture a forward-looking component, although such outputs should be considered analytical intelligence rather than guaranteed predictions.
Crypto markets remain highly volatile, and AI-generated analysis cannot eliminate that uncertainty.
VEIL Agent: Detecting Activity Beneath the Surface
Some of the market's most interesting movements are not immediately obvious.
VEIL is designed to detect stealth accumulation and coordinated wallet activity, examining blockchain behavior that may otherwise be difficult to identify manually.
Large-scale accumulation does not necessarily happen through one easily recognizable transaction. Activity can potentially be distributed between wallets and across time.
VEIL's purpose is to help uncover these less-visible patterns.
ROTOR Agent: Watching Capital Rotate Between Narratives
Finally, ROTOR monitors capital rotation across sectors and narratives.
Crypto markets frequently shift between themes, with attention and liquidity moving from one category of assets to another.
ROTOR is designed to identify those broader rotations, giving the platform another way of understanding where market participation may be changing.
Six Agents, One Intelligence Layer
The significance of VoidTrace AI's architecture is not simply that it has six agents. It is that each agent examines a different piece of the same market.
FLOW follows capital. CORE measures liquidity concentration. VECTOR evaluates momentum. ORBIT examines possible destinations. VEIL searches for hidden wallet behavior. ROTOR watches sector rotation.
Together, they are intended to provide a more connected picture of market activity than any individual signal could offer.
With the $VOIDE presale scheduled for September 4, 2026, VoidTrace AI is now moving toward the next stage of its rollout. The presale is expected to support Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Avalanche and Polygon, while the project's technology roadmap extends beyond the token itself.
For VoidTrace AI, the larger proposition is clear: in a market overflowing with information, the competitive advantage may increasingly come from discovering the signals buried underneath it.
About VoidTrace AI
VoidTrace AI is a cross-chain liquidity intelligence platform designed to uncover hidden capital movements across cryptocurrency markets.

Aligned allows fintechs and institutions to build financial products on Ethereum, with one-click solutions for wallets, rollups, interoperability, and zero-knowledge services.
Today, Aligned, a full-stack Ethereum infrastructure project, has launched $ALIGN*, the native token of its ecosystem, with listings on major exchanges. Aligned is working to turn Ethereum into the world's financial backend, and its ecosystem is the single integration fintechs, institutions, and enterprises use to build financial products on Ethereum.
Less than one percent of the world's assets are onchain, and most of what has moved sits on Ethereum as stablecoins, tokenized treasuries, and wrapped assets. Building on top of them is still harder than it should be. A fintech going onchain usually signs with multiple vendors, one for wallets, another for scalability solutions (including rollups and proving systems), then spends months wiring them together and keeping them in sync. There is no standard way to ship a financial product on Ethereum yet.
Aligned was built to fix that. It's built in close collaboration with LambdaClass, a company behind key contributions across the Ethereum ecosystem, including work on Starknet, zkSync, Polygon Miden, and EigenCloud (formerly EigenLayer), as well as Ethrex (the execution client which powers Aligned's Rollup-as-a-Service) and lambdaworks, a cryptography library written in Rust. By integrating with Aligned, users can access wallets, rollups, interoperability, and zero-knowledge services through a single stack.
Aligned ships the stack one piece at a time:
Proof Aggregation Service: live on mainnet alpha. Batching the proofs a rollup generates so verification stays cheap as Ethereum scales.
Wallet-as-a-Service: MVP already launched. Users sign in with Google or Face ID and get a real Ethereum wallet, with no seed phrases, extensions, or gas fees.
Rollup-as-a-Service, the LambdaVM, and the interoperability protocol: in development. The LambdaVM is Aligned's RISC-V zkVM (zero-knowledge virtual machine), built in collaboration with LambdaClass and 3MI Labs. Each ships as it's ready.
The world's assets are moving onto Ethereum, and Aligned is creating the stack that makes it easy to build on. In the future, $ALIGN will be available as an option to pay for the services across that stack, from Proof Aggregation to Wallet-as-a-Service. As more teams build on Aligned, it will be the asset they use to pay for that usage. It is a utility token. It is not equity, a share, or a claim on revenue or dividends, and it does not promise a yield or a price.
$ALIGN has a fixed supply of 10 billion tokens, with about 16% circulating at launch. The full allocation and the Genesis airdrop are laid out in the ALIGN tokenomics. The airdrop was distributed across several waves spanning developers and researchers, the Discord and Galxe communities, distinguished contributors to Ethereum and ZK such as Protocol Guild, L2BEAT, ZachXBT, and ZK Podcast, and holders of ecosystem tokens including Starknet, Mina, zkSync, Polygon, Scroll, Taiko, and EigenCloud.
Aligned is committed to Ethereum by choice, focusing all of its efforts on it. Through the rest of the year, the team plans to ship the remaining pieces of the stack and grow the number of products built on it. The longer-term goal is to make building a financial product on Ethereum a single decision, not a systems-integration project.
Check eligibility and follow the launch at community.alignedlayer.com. To hear more, read the ALIGN tokenomics at blog.alignedlayer.com and follow @alignedlayer.
About Aligned
Aligned builds the tools that turn Ethereum into the world’s financial backend. It gives fintechs, institutions, and enterprises one integration for wallets, rollups, interoperability, and zero-knowledge services, so they can build real financial products on Ethereum instead of assembling a stack from separate vendors. Users can learn more at alignedlayer.com.
*$ALIGN is the native asset of the Aligned ecosystem, built on Ethereum as an ERC-20 token and also available on Base, with a fixed total supply of 10 billion and an initial circulating supply equal to approximately 16% of the total token supply. It will be used across the Aligned stack. $ALIGN is not equity, a share, or a claim on revenue or dividends. This announcement is informational only and is not financial advice. Do your own research.

Acquisition represents 20% of the IBNAi fixed supply of 1 billion tokens
CryptoCapitalFund ("CCF"), a digital asset investment organization focused on identifying long-term opportunities across the cryptocurrency market, today announced the acquisition of 200 million IBNAi tokens, or 20% of the total supply of 1 billion IBNAi tokens, as part of its broader digital asset strategy.
Founded in January of 2021, CryptoCapitalFund was established with a primary objective: to deeply analyze the rapidly evolving digital asset market while maintaining a disciplined focus on opportunities with the potential to create sustainable, long-term value. CCF is dedicated to evaluating emerging technologies, blockchain ecosystems and digital assets through that long-term lens.
The acquisition represents a significant commitment to IBNAi, the native utility and engagement token powering the broader InvestorBrandNetwork ("IBN") ecosystem. Rather than viewing IBNAi solely as a tradable digital asset, CCF sees an opportunity tied to the token's intended utility across an established financial communications and investor engagement network.
“We believe IBNAi has the potential to connect blockchain technology with an established communications and investor engagement ecosystem,” said Michael McCarthy, Managing Member of CryptoCapitalFund. “This investment reflects our long-term view of the platform’s potential and our commitment to supporting the continued development and utility of the IBNAi ecosystem.”
A key component of CCF's investment thesis is IBNAi's foundation on Ethereum (ETH), one of the world's most established blockchain networks and a leading infrastructure layer for tokenized assets. Ethereum's extensive developer ecosystem, broad adoption and growing use within institutional digital asset initiatives provide IBNAi with a well-established blockchain foundation as its ecosystem develops.
IBNAi is designed to connect blockchain-based utility with IBN's existing communications, content, investor engagement and digital marketing infrastructure. The project is intended to support participation, incentivize engagement and create new opportunities across IBN's network of platforms, audiences, clients and partners.
For CCF, that combination of blockchain infrastructure and an established operating ecosystem differentiates IBNAi from digital assets built primarily around speculative interest.
“We believe CryptoCapitalFund’s investment reflects growing recognition of IBNAi’s long-term potential,” said Brett Schnacker, director of social media relations at IBNAi. “The acquisition represents a significant commitment to the ecosystem we are building and to our vision of connecting blockchain technology with real-world utility across IBN’s established network.”
The acquisition comes as digital assets continue to expand beyond their origins as alternative currencies, with blockchain technology increasingly being explored for tokenization, payments, ownership, rewards, digital identity, and other real-world applications. CCF believes projects capable of connecting blockchain technology with established businesses and communities may be particularly well positioned as this evolution continues. The 200 Million IBNAi Tokens were purchased in the open market in July and August of 2026 and have been placed in cold storage at Fireblocks.

Toronto, Canada, August 19th, 2026, Chainwire
TokensOnchain Media has launched a specialized strategic communications and discoverability consultancy serving companies across digital assets, decentralized finance (DeFi), tokenization, stablecoins, and institutional blockchain adoption.
As digital asset companies move from technical innovation toward broader institutional adoption, TokensOnchain Media helps organizations translate complex products, technologies, and infrastructure into clear market narratives and stronger digital discoverability.
The company combines blockchain industry knowledge with strategic communications, content development, executive positioning, and media relations capabilities, with a focus exclusively on the digital asset sector.
Helping Digital Asset Companies Build Clearer Market Narratives
TokensOnchain Media works with protocols, infrastructure providers, asset managers, and other digital asset companies to translate complex technologies and products into clear, credible market narratives.
Its strategic communications capabilities include:
Executive positioning and thought leadership
CEO and leadership communications
Investor communications and strategic content
Whitepapers, presentations, and institutional materials
Technical content and ecosystem commentary
Protocol and portfolio narrative development
The approach is designed to help organizations communicate not only what they are building, but why it matters, who it serves, and how it fits within the evolving digital asset and financial markets landscape.
Strengthening Digital Discoverability in the Age of AI Search
As AI-powered search and generative discovery increasingly influence how companies, products, and technologies are researched online, TokensOnchain Media provides AI Optimization (AIO), Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and semantic search strategies designed to strengthen digital discoverability.
The company develops structured content strategies aimed at improving how digital asset companies, their products, and their areas of expertise are understood and surfaced across AI search platforms, traditional search engines, and relevant digital industry channels.
For companies operating in technically complex markets, discoverability is increasingly connected to how clearly an organization communicates its expertise, relevance, and market position.
Specialized Communications for DeFi, RWA, Stablecoins, and Blockchain Infrastructure
TokensOnchain Media provides sector-specific communications support across decentralized finance, stablecoins, real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, and blockchain infrastructure.
The company focuses on helping organizations communicate technical developments, market positioning, ecosystem contributions, and emerging use cases to audiences that include investors, institutional participants, builders, customers, researchers, and broader digital asset communities.
This sector specialization has enabled TokensOnchain Media to approach communications through an understanding of the underlying technologies, market structures, and narratives shaping the digital asset industry.
Strategic Media Relations and Distribution Support
TokensOnchain Media also provides strategic media relations support, including press release development, editorial refinement, distribution planning, media outreach coordination, and coverage reporting.
The company supports organizations in developing announcements and industry commentary designed to reach relevant digital asset audiences, including researchers, builders, institutional participants, investors, and ecosystem communities.
The objective is not simply to generate media coverage, but to help companies communicate developments within a broader narrative that strengthens market understanding and credibility.
Introducing DeFi Narratives
TokensOnchain Media has also launched DeFi Narratives, an interview series featuring perspectives from founders, executives, builders, and other participants across the decentralized finance and digital asset ecosystem.
Rather than focusing solely on company announcements, DeFi Narratives examines the ideas, technologies, market developments, and challenges shaping the evolution of blockchain-based financial systems.
The series reflects TokensOnchain Media's broader focus on understanding and communicating the narratives emerging across DeFi and the institutional digital asset market.
About TokensOnchain Media
TokensOnchain Media is a strategic communications and discoverability consultancy focused exclusively on the digital asset ecosystem.
The company provides narrative development, executive communications, strategic content, AI and search optimization, and media relations services for organizations building within the blockchain ecosystem.

Nexo gets appointed as a Credit Representative and launches Credit Lines within Australia’s consumer credit framework
Nexo’s locally structured Credit Lines enable eligible clients to access liquidity without selling their digital assets
The launch extends Nexo’s Australian presence to a full digital asset wealth proposition as Australian crypto ownership matures and demand for personal credit continues to grow
Nexo Australia has been appointed as a Credit Representative, launching the company’s pioneering Credit Lines in Australia fully under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act and giving clients the safeguards that only come with borrowing from a regulated lender.
The milestone makes Nexo one of a small number of digital asset platforms offering a regulated crypto-backed credit in Australia. Nexo Australia is locally incorporated, registered with AUSTRAC as a Virtual Asset Service Provider, and a member of the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA).
Nexo's Credit Lines — together with the Nexo Booster and Wealth Club loyalty programme — join Nexo's existing Nexo Exchange and the newly rebranded Growth product, bringing Nexo's full suite together under one unified platform in Australia.
Regulated access to liquidity without selling digital assets
The Credit Lines let eligible clients access liquidity against their digital assets without selling them — preserving long-term market exposure. Interest rates range from 0.9% to 21.9% p.a., depending on a client’s loyalty tier and Credit Line version. Clients can borrow against a wide range of eligible digital assets, with funds typically available within 24 hours. The Credit Lines offer no fixed term, no origination fees, and flexible repayments.
Nexo is one of the few digital asset credit providers in Australia to offer payouts in either AUD or stablecoins. Australian clients also receive a dedicated AUD account number for deposits, reducing delays and errors Australians commonly face when transferring funds to crypto platforms. The Credit Lines include Collateral Exchange, allowing clients to swap between eligible collateral assets without interrupting their Credit Line, making it easier to rebalance their portfolio as market conditions evolve.
The Nexo Booster, part of the newly launched products in Australia, enables clients to magnify their digital assets by up to three times, using new positions as collateral.
Nexo Growth returns to Australia
Nexo’s growth product returns to Australia as Nexo Growth, letting clients receive up to 10% p.a. on Supported Assets — Rates vary by asset and term, and Returns are not guaranteed. Clients can choose Flexible Growth, where Returns accrue daily and funds can be withdrawn on request, or Fixed-term Growth, which offers a higher Return Rate over a set period.
One platform for digital wealth
The more clients use the platform, the more they get back. Nexo's Wealth Club rewards higher activity with better Credit Line rates, cashback, and lifestyle perks — from merchandise and event tickets to exclusive hospitality — across four tiers. The programme was named Best Wealth Client Loyalty Programme for Digital CX at The Digital Banker's 2025 Digital CX Awards.
Nexo enters this next phase from a position of strength, as adoption continues and more Australians look for ways to put their digital assets to work — with a single platform to borrow, grow, and manage digital wealth.
Nearly one in three Australians now owns cryptocurrency. At the same time, Australia recorded A$9.8 billion in new personal fixed-term loan commitments in the March quarter of 2026, up 14.5 per cent year-on-year. Yet much of the digital asset market remains focused on buying, selling and storing crypto, creating an opportunity for services that help Australians access liquidity, receive returns, and manage their assets as part of a broader wealth strategy.
"The Australian market is ready for a better, more integrated model. We built these products to give Australian clients highly cost-competitive credit and the ability to put their digital assets to work, whilst assessing each product against the applicable Australian framework, and building regulatory requirements and consumer protections into the design from the outset," said Peter Stanhope, General Manager for Australia at Nexo.
The launch builds on Nexo's established local presence, including its role as the first Official Crypto Partner of the Australian Open, and Nexo Group's position as one of the largest crypto lenders globally, with over US$7 billion in assets under management and clients in more than 200 jurisdictions.
About Nexo
Nexo is a premier digital assets wealth platform designed to empower clients to grow, manage, and preserve their crypto holdings. Our mission is to lead the next generation of wealth creation by focusing on customer success and delivering tailored solutions that build enduring value, supported by 24/7 client care.

Our all-in-one platform combines advanced technology with a client-first approach, offering Nexo Growth, crypto-backed loans, trading tools, and liquidity solutions, including a crypto-backed card in certain markets.
