Independent OpenZeppelin review of TxFlow's bridge contract marks another step in TxFlow's approach to security as its L1, DEX, and builder ecosystem continue to develop.
TxFlow announces the completion of an independent security audit by OpenZeppelin, one of the world's most established blockchain security firms, trusted by major organizations and protocols including Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, Uniswap, Aave, Arbitrum, ZKsync, Compound, and others.
OpenZeppelin's review covered TxFlow's bridge contract, a critical component of the infrastructure supporting the movement of capital between external networks and TxFlow L1. OpenZeppelin's review identified zero critical and zero high-severity findings. One medium-severity finding was identified and resolved during the audit process.
The independent review forms part of TxFlow's broader approach to incorporating external security expertise as its financial infrastructure and ecosystem continue to develop. Alongside TxFlow DEX and continued L1 development, TxFlow is also building Builder Code, with additional details to be announced as both initiatives move closer to release. Together, these developments support TxFlow's broader objective: to build a Layer 1 designed specifically for financial markets, bringing trading, liquidity, and financial applications onto one blockchain where all finance happens.
Security at TxFlow L1 is a continuous responsibility: An independent review by OpenZeppelin
As part of this commitment, we work with leading independent security experts to rigorously assess our infrastructure. In 2026, OpenZeppelin completed a security audit of Bridge2, the USDC bridge connecting Arbitrum One to TxFlow L1. TxFlow aims to continue to strengthen its security architecture, monitoring, and operational safeguards as the network evolves. The audit report provides the technical scope, findings, and assessment from OpenZeppelin and is available for the community to review directly.
TxFlow's broader bridge infrastructure supports deposits and withdrawals across Arbitrum One, Ethereum, Base, Polygon PoS, and Solana. TxFlow's documented bridge flow includes controls around the movement of funds, including validator-approved withdrawals and a built-in safety wait before withdrawals are completed.
These controls form part of TxFlow's approach to protecting one of the most important functions of financial infrastructure: the movement of capital between networks.
Global-grade security from the ground up
TxFlow is building its security program with the standards expected of serious financial infrastructure in mind. To support that approach, TxFlow engaged OpenZeppelin, one of the world's most established blockchain security firms. OpenZeppelin has completed more than 900 security audits, identifying more than 10,000 issues, including 700+ critical and high-severity vulnerabilities, across blockchain protocols and financial infrastructure.
Its security work spans major crypto organizations and ecosystems including Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, Uniswap, Aave, Arbitrum, ZKsync, Optimism, and Compound, as well as established financial institutions and infrastructure providers including DTCC, Fidelity Digital Assets, WisdomTree, ANZ, and CACEIS.
For TxFlow, working with globally recognized security specialists at an early stage establishes a clear approach: independently review critical infrastructure as the network and ecosystem grow. Security is not an add-on to financial infrastructure. It is part of the infrastructure itself.
Building infrastructure for on-chain finance
TxFlow L1 is designed specifically for financial markets and applications.
TxFlow DEX, a fully on-chain central limit order book for perpetual markets, is the first application built on TxFlow L1. The DEX is the first product operating on a broader infrastructure layer. TxFlow L1 is designed to support multiple financial applications and markets on the same network, including perpetuals, spot markets, prediction markets, and new categories of on-chain financial products. Through TxFlow Improvement Protocol (TIP) Liquidity Standards, Channels can connect to common execution, settlement, and liquidity infrastructure rather than operating as isolated applications.
For traders, that means infrastructure designed around markets from the start.
For builders, it creates a foundation for developing new financial applications on a network designed for trading, liquidity, and settlement.
What's next: Builder code
Alongside continued development of TxFlow L1 and TxFlow DEX, the team is building two new ecosystem initiatives: TxFlow Builder Code.
Builder Code is being developed to expand how builders and ecosystem participants can contribute to and grow alongside the network. For the TxFlow community, these initiatives represent the next stage of ecosystem growth: more ways for traders to participate, more ways for builders to contribute, and more activity across the TxFlow network.
About TxFlow L1
TxFlow L1 is a high-performance blockchain built for on-chain financial infrastructure, organized around TIP Liquidity Standards that define how financial products are built, composed, and settled on-chain. TxFlow DEX is the first Channel on TxFlow L1, a CLOB orderbook DEX for perpetual trading, processing over 250,000 TPS with one-block finality. Through its TxFlow Improvement Protocol standards and Channel architecture, TxFlow enables spot markets, derivatives, prediction markets and future financial products to operate on the same chain while connecting to shared execution and settlement infrastructure where all finance happens. TxFlow L1 is building an open, composable and community-owned financial ecosystem in which each new application can strengthen the infrastructure available to those that follow.

TRON DAO, the community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps), announced today that the number of total accounts on the TRON blockchain has exceeded 400 million. The milestone reflects sustained activity across the network and reinforces TRON’s position as one of the world’s most actively used blockchain networks, with usage powering real-world economic activity on-chain.
The pace of account growth accelerated significantly after TRON reached its first 100 million accounts, a milestone that took four years from the launch of its genesis block on June 25, 2018. The network reached 200 million accounts approximately 17 months later, on December 7, 2023. From there, TRON doubled its total number of accounts in less than three years, surpassing 300 million on April 12, 2025, before crossing 400 million on August 23, 2026.
TRON’s expanding user base is reflected in the scale and volume of activity taking place on the network. With more than 15.2 billion transactions processed and total transfer volume surpassing $29 trillion, TRON has emerged as critical infrastructure for the movement of digital assets at global scale. Its combination of high throughput, low transaction costs, and deep liquidity has made the network a leading settlement layer for stablecoin payments, cross-border transfers, and an expanding range of on-chain financial activity.
“Reaching 400 million accounts is a meaningful milestone for the TRON ecosystem and a reflection of the growing demand for accessible blockchain infrastructure,” said Justin Sun, founder of TRON. “From payments and stablecoins to decentralized applications and tokenized assets, TRON continues to provide the infrastructure that enables users around the world to participate in the digital economy. As adoption grows, we remain focused on building a network that is efficient, accessible, and capable of supporting the next generation of blockchain use cases.”
The milestone comes as TRON continues to expand its presence across the digital asset ecosystem, with growing applications in institutional asset tokenization. Recent developments include the launch of the S&P Pantera Digital Asset Index, which recognized the TRON blockchain among the top protocols in the benchmark, based on protocol utility, onchain liquidity, and network activity. Collaborations with Anchorage Digital, Securitize, and Bitnomial have also expanded institutional access to the TRON ecosystem.
TRON remains focused on building reliable, efficient infrastructure that supports the continued growth of its user base and the expanding role of blockchain technology in the global digital economy.

Free Live Crypto Funding Rates and Squeeze Probability Across 12 Exchanges
The Prague trading firm whose 2018 to 2025 record was independently reviewed by CryptoSignalsReview is now publishing the funding and positioning data its own traders read, free and without an account.
MyCryptoParadise has launched MCP Insights, a free public section of its website that publishes live cryptocurrency market data read from the exchanges' own public APIs. It is open now at https://mycryptoparadise.com/crypto-insights/ and requires no account, no email address and no payment.
The section is led by a funding rates page at https://mycryptoparadise.com/crypto-funding-rates/ covering 12 major exchanges. Funding rates are the periodic payments that pass between long and short traders to hold a perpetual futures contract close to the spot price. When one side is paying heavily to stay in its position, that side is crowded, and crowded positioning is what a squeeze runs on.
MyCryptoParadise grades that pressure into a single reading it calls squeeze probability. The headline number is a percentile: how crowded a coin's positioning is now against the previous 24 months. A companion figure reports how often a squeeze-sized move has followed similar readings historically. Both are published as a read on current positioning, not as a forecast.
We have been reading this data every day since 2016, and there was no good reason to keep it behind a login. Funding tells you who is paying to stay in a trade. That is arithmetic, not a secret. A trader deciding whether to add risk deserves to see it before the move, not after.
said Simon Mach, founder and CEO of MyCryptoParadise.
Price tells a trader what already happened. Funding and positioning show where the crowd is standing before it moves, which is the question a risk manager asks first. More than 20 live readings sit on the MCP Insights hub, grouped by leverage and liquidations, order flow, volatility and options, sentiment and flows, on-chain activity and cycle risk. Dedicated pages are already open for funding rates and squeeze probability, for order book walls, and for the Fear and Greed index at https://mycryptoparadise.com/crypto-fear-greed/ with the remaining readings opening one page at a time.
MyCryptoParadise's own trading record has been examined by an outside party. In July 2026 CryptoSignalsReview reviewed 3,450 verified result rows across 11 annual sheets, covering MyCryptoParadise's ORIGINAL strategy from 2018 to 2025 and its SCALPING strategy from 2023 to 2025, losses included, and calculated a profit factor of 6.92 under audit reference CSR-MCP-RS-2026-07-13. CryptoSignalsReview carried out that verification at no charge as part of its market-wide verification work, and MyCryptoParadise paid separately for the designed result sheets, which were generated retrospectively in May 2026 and cover a record posted publicly from 2018. CryptoSignalsReview is independent of MyCryptoParadise.
Our own method is deliberately slow. Whole days pass without a setup worth taking, and when meaningful capital is involved that patience is the job, not a shortcoming.Publishing the data we watch follows the same logic. If somebody reads the funding page, decides the crowded side is not worth fighting and never becomes a client, that is still a better outcome than a position taken on noise.
said Simon Mach, founder and CEO of MyCryptoParadise.
MCP Insights is available now at https://mycryptoparadise.com/crypto-insights/ and further data pages are being released over the coming months.

The round is backed by MH Ventures, Amber Group, ArkStream Capital, 0G Foundation, Kirin Capital, CatcherVC, and New Oak International.
NeoSoul announced the completion of an $11 million Pre-A funding round, with participation from MH Ventures, Amber Group, ArkStream Capital, 0G Foundation, Kirin Capital, CatcherVC, and New Oak International. The new capital will support the continued development of NeoSoul’s agentic trading products and broader AI economy infrastructure.
The financing follows the launch of NeoTrade, NeoSoul’s agentic trading workbench. NeoTrade allows traders to configure their own AI trading agents and enable them to make decisions and execute trades autonomously.
AI is moving beyond assisted analysis toward independent execution. In trading, the industry is increasingly focused on how to preserve agent autonomy while keeping capital secure and under clearly defined controls.
The round brings together investors spanning digital assets, Web3 infrastructure, decentralized AI, and capital markets across Asia and North America. Kirin Capital, a key investor in the round with a long-standing presence in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, will further support NeoSoul’s expansion across Vietnam and the broader Southeast Asian market.
Kaelan, Co-Founder of NeoSoul, said: “AI is moving from producing information to participating autonomously in economic activity, and trading is one of the earliest use cases where a complete economic loop can emerge. NeoTrade is our entry point. Following this round, NeoSoul will continue building the infrastructure needed for AI agents to participate in economic activity at scale.”
Several investors in the round noted that as AI agents begin participating in real economic activity, capital controls, trade execution, and risk management are emerging as critical infrastructure requirements. Through NeoTrade, NeoSoul has already brought agentic trading into a usable product and is using that foundation to expand into broader infrastructure for the AI economy.
NeoSoul plans to use the proceeds to further develop NeoTrade, strengthen its trading infrastructure, and expand its global ecosystem. The company will continue building the connection between autonomous AI decision-making and controlled capital execution.

MemeCore Principals Enter into a US$1.0 Billion Strategic Transaction with Nasdaq-Listed ZeroStack. Landmark Transaction Establishes Strategic Equity Position and Expands MemeCore’s Reach Across Decentralized AI, Digital Assets and Public Markets
MemeCore today announced a landmark strategic transaction involving Puple AI Inc. and Blockcat Pte. Ltd., principals of the MemeCore ecosystem, and Nasdaq-listed ZeroStack Corp. (“ZeroStack”).
Under the definitive agreement, Puple AI Inc. and Blockcat Pte. Ltd. have agreed to contribute an aggregate of US$1.0 billion worth of MemeCore ($M) tokens to ZeroStack in exchange for 3,500,000 shares of ZeroStack common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 36,198,293 additional shares.
The transaction represents a significant expansion of MemeCore’s strategic exposure to the public markets and establishes a deeper long-term relationship between the MemeCore ecosystem and ZeroStack’s decentralized artificial intelligence strategy.
The 925,925,926 $M tokens contributed in the transaction were valued at their prevailing fair market trading price of US$1.08 per token.
The pre-funded warrants carry an agreed value of US$25.19 per share, representing a premium of more than twelve times ZeroStack’s recent market trading price. Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants will not be issued unless and until approved by ZeroStack shareholders in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 and will be subject to a lock-up of up to ten years following closing.
Connecting Meme Culture, Decentralized AI and Public Markets
For MemeCore, the transaction represents more than a strategic investment.
It creates a bridge between the MemeCore ecosystem and the public capital markets while expanding opportunities for collaboration across decentralized AI, digital assets, consumer applications and blockchain-powered cultural economies.
ZeroStack is focused on providing public-market exposure to decentralized AI infrastructure and currently maintains strategic exposure to the 0G ecosystem. Through this transaction, MemeCore and ZeroStack expect to explore opportunities that connect ZeroStack’s decentralized AI strategy with MemeCore’s rapidly growing ecosystem and community.
MemeCore believes the combination of decentralized infrastructure, consumer-driven digital economies and institutional capital can create new opportunities for both ecosystems over the long term.
Rudy Rong, a principal of MemeCore who is being appointed President of ZeroStack in connection with the transaction, commented:
“From the beginning, MemeCore has been focused on building an ecosystem capable of taking meme culture beyond short-term speculation and transforming it into lasting economic and cultural value.
Our strategic relationship with ZeroStack opens a new chapter for that vision. By connecting MemeCore with decentralized AI, public markets and institutional capital, we believe we can create entirely new opportunities for ecosystem growth and global participation.
This is not simply about an investment. It is about building a bridge between two rapidly evolving ecosystems and expanding what is possible for MemeCore on a global scale.”
Daniel Reis-Faria, Chief Executive Officer of ZeroStack, said:
“This transaction represents a defining milestone not only for ZeroStack, but for the broader digital asset industry.
We believe the combination of our existing 0G holdings with a strategic position in the MemeCore ecosystem creates a compelling platform capable of generating long-term value for shareholders while positioning ZeroStack at the intersection of decentralized AI, digital assets and institutional capital.”
A New Chapter for MemeCore
MemeCore was built around the idea that memes can evolve beyond short-lived speculation into sustainable cultural and economic ecosystems.
The strategic relationship with ZeroStack expands that vision beyond the crypto-native market.
By establishing exposure to a Nasdaq-listed company focused on decentralized AI and digital assets, the transaction creates new potential pathways connecting MemeCore’s community, applications and cultural economy with institutional and public-market infrastructure.
Following the transaction, MemeCore and ZeroStack intend to explore opportunities for ecosystem collaboration, technology integration and broader institutional participation.

Vector, proven across 20,000 agent-run jobs in a pilot with OriginTrail, is now open to labs, companies and researchers.
The Apex Fusion Foundation today opened Vector, the neutral settlement, accountability and provenance layer for AI agents within the Apex Fusion ecosystem, to labs, companies, researchers and independent builders. The opening follows eleven months live on mainnet and a pilot with OriginTrail, during which autonomous agents sourced, escrowed, completed and verified more than 20,000 work packages. Every claim can be verified independently from the block explorers and the live dashboard at apexfusion.ai.
Vector opens as enterprises move from single models to portfolios of them: fine-tuned agents for proprietary knowledge, open-source specialists for narrow high-volume work, frontier models for reasoning that justifies the price. Inside one organisation, that fleet can be governed. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, speaking on the Possible podcast in June 2026, described managing agents much as employees are managed: "You need to give them identities, you need to give them sandboxes, then you need to set policies to govern them."
Nadella is right, and it is telling that the conversation has moved from what agents can do to how we hold them accountable. Inside your own walls that is achievable: you know which models you deployed, and your logs are your logs. The question we have been living with for a year is what happens when your agents leave the building.
said Christopher Greenwood, CEO of the Apex Fusion Foundation.
That boundary is arriving quickly. A procurement agent negotiates terms with a supplier's sales agent. A finance agent escrows funds against delivery, verified by a third party's inspection agent. At that point the best internal governance runs out: whose logs count, which model actually performed the work, and did the escrow release against genuine completion? In a network of agents and strangers, the scarce resource is not intelligence. It is trust.
Commerce has met this problem before, and has always answered it the same way: neutral ground. Banks that did not trust each other built clearing houses. International trade built bills of lading and letters of credit. Correspondent banking built SWIFT. Wherever parties transact across a boundary of trust, they converge on a shared record that both can rely on and neither can control.
The agent economy needs a Switzerland, so we built one. Neutral, verifiable, stewarded by a Swiss foundation, and open by design. The intelligence layer arrived faster than anyone predicted. The trust layer is the part we chose to build.
said Greenwood.
Vector is a purpose-built implementation of Cardano's protocol stack, maintained by researchers who authored the core protocols, with the eUTXO accounting model at its core. The fit is deliberate: an agent committing capital needs to know the exact cost and outcome before it commits. eUTXO makes transactions deterministic, keeps fees low and known in advance, means failed transactions cost nothing on-chain, and parallelises for throughput.
On those rails, Vector gives an agent everything it needs to trade work with a stranger: on-chain identity with staked reputation behind every claimed capability, bonded escrow that puts skin in the game on both sides, dispute resolution by staked jury, signed receipts carrying full chain of custody, and native access to frontier and open LLMs, with jobs settled in AP3X.
That claim was tested with OriginTrail, whose Decentralized Knowledge Graph is a decentralised infrastructure for multi-agent AI memory, letting agents publish and query shared knowledge as cryptographically verifiable assets. Vector bonds the job and holds the escrow; the agents do the work; the results are published to the DKG as verifiable knowledge assets; and the job settles against a result that can be independently checked rather than merely asserted. Escrow and proof stop being separate systems.
The pilot ran through the Ancestry project, where agents rebuilt a 385,000-record WWI archive into a knowledge graph across more than 20,000 work packages, running the full marketplace lifecycle themselves. Every extracted fact traces back to the model that produced it, the terms it was contracted under and the settlement that closed the job — the trail a compliance or audit team requires. The result is public at genealogy.vector.apexfusion.org.
Onboarding is straightforward, because Vector is MCP-native. An agent built on Claude, GPT, Cursor or a custom stack integrates through a single connection: point it at the open-source repositories, hand it the bootstrap prompt, and it can register, post or take jobs, deliver work and settle. No bespoke integration, no new stack.
This summer showed what happens when agents can act in ways their own operators can't fully account for afterward. Every job on Vector settles with proof attached.
said Greenwood. Labs, companies, researchers and independent builders can connect their agents at apexfusion.ai.

Following the launch of buyback-and-burn programs for BTT and WIN, JST completed its fourth major token burn, while SUN rolled out a comprehensive upgrade to its buyback mechanism.
With these initiatives now operational, TRON's flagship assets have officially entered a deflationary era. This sends a clear message to the broader crypto market: TRON is anchoring its tokenomics in economic reality. By converting actual protocol revenue into real benefits for token holders, TRON is reinforcing its ecosystem flywheel and steering the entire ecosystem toward real value creation.
TRON's Core Assets Enter Deflationary Era as Network-Wide Buybacks Go Live
By taking protocol revenue to repurchase tokens on the open market and permanently remove them from circulation, TRON's four flagship assets—JST, SUN, WIN, and BTT—are adopting a mechanism similar to traditional equity buybacks, with the potential to support long-term token value.
JST, an essential asset across TRON's DeFi segment, has spearheaded the buyback wave. As of July 17, it has completed its fourth major buyback-and-burn round, removing a cumulative total of 1,711,249,863 JST from circulation, which accounts for 17.29% of its total supply.
Data shows that JST's total buyback value across four rounds has surged past the $94.62 million mark, exhibiting explosive round-over-round growth. This surging capital scale vividly highlights a leap in JST's underlying revenue generation, reinforcing TRON's firm resolve toward a model of absolute deflation.
As JST sets the pace, SUN.io—another key pillar of TRON's DeFi ecosystem—has completed a major upgrade to its buyback mechanism, unlocking greater on-chain transparency. SUN's buyback mechanism now draws its funding from an expanded range of SUN.io's product suite, including SunSwap V2, SunPump, and SunX.
Since the launch of its buyback initiative on December 15, 2021, SUN.io has executed 51 consecutive, uninterrupted burn rounds, permanently removing 678,547,188.32 SUN from circulation—making up 3.4% of the total supply. Furthermore, it launched a dedicated buyback-and-burn dashboard on April 22 this year, allowing global investors to witness firsthand how protocol revenue translates into sustainable value growth.
Building on this momentum, BitTorrent, the world's premier decentralized network infrastructure provider, and WINkLink, the first decentralized oracle network on TRON, introduced their own buyback and burn programs in July.
To fund these initiatives, WINkLink will allocate 100% of its revenue to repurchasing WIN, while BitTorrent will utilize the entirety of the revenue generated from its decentralized business to buy back BTT. Both projects are slated to officially commence their burn phases in Q4 2026.
JST Leads the Charge as TRON's Core Infrastructure Tokens Rally in Unison
Among the four projects, JST stands out as the clear leader in the scale and volume of its buyback and burn program. JustLend DAO's robust revenue base provides the foundational support, with its Energy rental operations accounting for 70% of the allocated funds. Concurrently, accrued stability fees from USDJ were tapped for the very first time to supply the remaining 30%, marking JST's successful establishment of a diversified, multichannel value capture framework.
Catalyzed by strong deflationary expectations, JST is undergoing an explosive realignment with its intrinsic value on the secondary market. Since the inception of its buyback and burn, the token's price has surged over 200%, breaching the $0.1 mark on July 10 to hit a recent historic high that sits 50% above its Q1 peak. Both the eye-watering Q2 trading volume of $3.27 billion and this significant price appreciation are directly underpinned by genuine revenue growth. Together, these metrics cement JST's position as a premier growth and value asset, offering unparalleled certainty within the TRON DeFi ecosystem.
Building on JST's momentum, SUN—the native token of SUN.io, another core DeFi engine on TRON—is exhibiting remarkable resilience in both price and trading volume, bolstered by continuous enhancements to its deflationary mechanics.
As of July 29, CoinGecko data indicates that SUN has maintained a steady upward trajectory over the past month, posting a solid 10% gain. Its impressive $640 million in Total Value Locked (TVL) and $440 million in 7-day trading volume demonstrate robust capital retention within the protocol. This steady price appreciation, underpinned by deep liquidity, further cements SUN's position as the bedrock of the TRON ecosystem's trading hub.
In parallel, with the official launch of their buyback and burn programs in July, WIN and BTT—dual engines of TRON's infrastructure—have shown tangible value realization. Catalyzed by this mechanism, both assets have demonstrated strong price resilience. As of July 29, driven by the announcement of its "100% Real-Revenue Buyback & Burn" initiative, WIN has rallied approximately 22.5%. Meanwhile, BTT has also found a strong base of support amidst price fluctuations. Together, these two infrastructure pillars are working in lockstep with the broader DeFi ecosystem, driving sustainable, synergistic growth across the network.
Beyond Hype and Narrative: How TRON is Redefining Value Accrual Through Real Yield
TRON has evolved far beyond a standard Layer 1 network into a highly cash-generative, on-chain financial engine. With active user accounts approaching the 400 million mark and Total Value Locked (TVL) comfortably exceeding $27.0 billion, the network now hosts over $90 billion in stablecoin supply, with its diverse business lines continuously generating protocol revenue every day.
Rather than letting these earnings sit idle, TRON is channeling its yield back into the ecosystem. Through comprehensive buyback and burn programs across JST, SUN, BTT, and WIN, TRON has built a self-sustaining value flywheel, routing network revenue straight back to its community and token holders.
Right now, TRON's ecosystem flywheel is spinning at full tilt. These four flagship projects aren't isolated bets in separate verticals—they interlock, each one reinforcing the others in a genuine, self-compounding business loop. And what keeps that loop turning is relentless, disciplined engineering at the protocol layer.
Q2 2026 brought a sweeping wave of upgrades across the board. JustLend DAO shipped its SBM V2 isolated pool and plugged directly into Binance Wallet. SUN.io slashed energy costs with a router contract overhaul. BitTorrent made its boldest move yet, launching BTTInferGrid to stake a claim in decentralized AI compute. WINkLink kept scaling its price feed coverage. Individually, these read as incremental UX refinements; collectively, they build the deep, frictionless infrastructure that TRON's massive liquidity pools depend on.
This model creates a compounding flywheel effect: as circulating token supply tightens and persistent buyback demand accelerates, a self-reinforcing value loop takes shape—one designed to attract capital regardless of broader market sentiment. JST's sustained burn program represents merely the opening act. Together with the revamped SUN buyback framework and the upcoming BTT and WIN repurchase schedules, TRON's entire asset stack is now fully aligned around systematic supply deflation as a core growth strategy.

MoonPay, the global financial technology company powering the movement of value across fiat and digital assets, today announced the integration of the TRON network with MoonPay's Trade infrastructure, enabling users to complete transactions on TRON without holding TRX to pay network fees. The TRON network is governed by TRON DAO, the community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps).
The integration brings MoonPay's gasless transaction experience to one of the world's largest stablecoin settlement networks, supporting over $22 billion in average daily transfer volume. Support extends across the TRON ecosystem, including SunSwap and JustLend, making it easier for users to move assets and interact with on-chain applications.
Traditionally, users transacting on TRON were required to maintain a balance of TRX, the native utility token of the TRON network, to cover network fees, even when sending or swapping stablecoins. Through MoonPay's Trade infrastructure, gas fees are abstracted and incorporated into the overall transaction, allowing users to transact with just the assets they already hold.
The integration simplifies onboarding for both new and existing users by removing one of the most common points of friction in on-chain transactions. Users can process onchain transactions without needing TRX for gas, creating a more seamless experience for wallets, applications, and businesses building on TRON.
Trust Wallet is the first launch partner to support the integration, bringing gasless TRON transactions to its users through MoonPay's Trade infrastructure.
“TRON empowers millions of users around the world who rely on the network for everyday payments,” said Justin Sun, Founder of TRON. “The network was created on the belief that blockchains should be accessible, easy to use, and give individuals greater control over how they transact. The collaboration with MoonPay advances that vision by simplifying stablecoin transactions on TRON and making everyday onchain payments easier for users.”
“Stablecoins are transforming how money moves, but they need to work seamlessly across every network,” said Ivan Soto-Wright, CEO and Founder of MoonPay. “TRON is one of the world’s most important stablecoin ecosystems, and removing the need to hold TRX eliminates unnecessary friction for users. Together with TRON, we’re making stablecoin transfers simpler and more accessible for millions of people worldwide.”
This collaboration reinforces TRON's position as the leading settlement network for stablecoins while expanding access to a more seamless on-chain experience for MoonPay users. As adoption continues to grow, the integration removes operational friction for wallets, developers, and businesses building products on the TRON network.

The Safe project’s second public quarterly report records nearly 130 million transactions, rising monthly active accounts and $1.98 million in project-wide revenue, alongside the launch of Safenet Beta.
ZUG, Switzerland, 29 July 2026: Safe Ecosystem Foundation has released its Q2 2026 Quarterly Report. Safe smart accounts processed nearly 130 million transactions in Q2, the highest quarterly total to date and a 5.7 percent increase from Q1 2026. Monthly active accounts reached 2.73 million in June, while Safenet Beta closed its launch quarter with 54.8 million SAFE staked across 539 stakers.

Read the full report on the Safe Foundation website: https://safefoundation.org/reports/q2-2026
As of 29 July 2026, Safenet Beta had checked more than 500,000 Safe transactions. The network began with six initial validators: Greenfield, Safe Labs, RockawayX, Blockchain Capital, Gnosis and Core Contributors. During beta, Safenet applies predefined security policies to Safe activity and records attestations onchain, helping bring transaction security closer to execution while users retain full control of their assets.
April was the busiest month in Safe’s history, with 55.4 million transactions. Monthly active accounts rose throughout the quarter, reaching 2.73 million in June, while total Safe accounts reached 63.4 million.
“Q2 matters because it showed Safe becoming more than a place to hold assets,” said Lukas Schor, Co-Founder of the Safe project and President of the Safe Ecosystem Foundation. “Usage kept compounding through a weaker market, teams continued to coordinate serious capital through Safe, and Safenet moved transaction security closer to execution. That is the shift we are building for: self-custody infrastructure that protects ownership, supports coordination and makes onchain activity safer at the moment value moves.”
The quarter also showed the Safe project’s role as coordination infrastructure for high-stakes onchain response. After the Kelp DAO exploit in April, the Aave-led DeFi United group used Safe smart accounts to coordinate approximately $300 million to help restore rsETH backing, with more than 142,000 wallets participating over three weeks.
The Safe project generated $1.98 million in revenue overall in Q2, up 42 percent year over year. The quarter also brought more repeatable sources of revenue and new paying customers for Safe Labs products. The Foundation’s Ecosystem Alignment Program signed its third long-term partnership, a five-year token swap with Velvet, after earlier deals with World and JOIN.

Q2 Highlights
Safenet Beta: 54.8M SAFE staked across approved stakers, supporting hundreds of thousands of transaction attestations since launch on April 2, 2026.Scale: Total Safe accounts reached 63.4M, up 20% year over year, with nearly 130M transactions processed in Q2.Active users: Monthly active Safe accounts reached 2.73M in June 2026.Volume: Q2 transfer volume reached $39.35B, up 8% year over year, with ETH-denominated volume reaching 5.94M ETH in June.TVL: Safe smart accounts collectively held $27.24B in self-custodied assets at quarter-end, including $6.48B in stablecoins.

Mento deploys its decentralized FX infrastructure on Polygon, launching with USDm/EURm liquidity supported by day-one partner Capa and adding EURØP as a reserve asset for EURm.
Mento Protocol (Mento), the leading decentralized FX infrastructure that processed USD 18.5B in trading volume in 2025, has been deployed on Polygon. The launch brings Mento stablecoin markets to one of crypto’s leading stablecoin ecosystems, starting with the USDm/EURm pool as the first FX trading pair. The EUR/USD pair accounts for ~USD 2T of the USD 9.5T traded daily across global FX markets, making it the single deepest currency pair in the world.

Stablecoin activity remains largely concentrated in USD-denominated assets. This is shifting. Polygon has become one of the leading networks where local-currency stablecoin markets are finding real payment scale, with more than USD 11.1B in lifetime non-USD stablecoin transfer volume and over 43% of non-USD stablecoin transfers across major blockchains.
The deployment of the Mento Protocol adds the FX layer needed to connect those markets on Polygon. The launch enables predictable onchain FX liquidity between USD-denominated and non-USD-denominated stablecoins, expanding Polygon’s stablecoin ecosystem beyond dollar-only liquidity.
“Mento’s mission is to make non-USD stablecoins usable across markets by providing the FX infrastructure that lets them move reliably.” said Bogdan-Radu Dumitru, CEO at Mento Labs. “Polygon is a natural frontier ecosystem for that infrastructure, given the scale of local-currency stablecoin activity already happening on the network and their investment in its growth.”
"Non-USD stablecoins are already moving at scale on Polygon, and FX infrastructure is what lets that activity grow into something payments businesses can actually rely on,” said Marc Boiron, CEO of Polygon Labs. “Mento brings that layer to the ecosystem, connecting the local-currency stablecoin markets we've been building toward with the reliable execution those markets need to function. This is exactly the kind of infrastructure the Polygon Open Money Stack is designed to support."
The Polygon deployment is supported by Capa, a LATAM-focused financial infrastructure provider that powers cross-border FX and payments, as a day-one liquidity partner. Together, Mento and Capa are bringing supported dollar-euro FX liquidity to Polygon from launch, providing access to a more complete stablecoin market structure beyond dollar-only liquidity.
"Non-USD stablecoin markets don't grow on infrastructure alone, they need deep liquidity. We're backing the Mento Protocol on Polygon from day one because we believe onchain FX for non-dollar currencies is where real cross-border value moves next." Jonathan Herrera, Head of Ecosystems at Capa.
Mento Protocol is also adding EURØP as a reserve asset for EURm, a MiCA-regulated euro token from Schuman Financial, bringing regulated euro liquidity onchain.
"The Euro is the world's second most-used currency, yet EUR-denominated stablecoins represent only around 1% of the stablecoin market. The Mento Protocol is the necessary infrastructure to make that change. Adding EURØP as a reserve asset for EURm brings a MiCA-regulated euro token into onchain FX markets," said Eduardo Morrison, Chief Business Officer at Schuman Financial.
Mento Protocol’s Fixed Price Market Maker (FPMM) design is built to provide real-world reference rates via trusted price feed oracles, enabling predictable execution across currencies without relying on volatile AMM curves. This model gives applications access to onchain FX markets with features of traditional FX markets: predictable reference-rate pricing and reliable execution, with liquidity that is programmable and composable.
Mento’s stablecoin infrastructure is built for a world where stablecoins are not limited to USD. It offers the FX layer for non-USD stablecoin markets, supporting trading across 15 currencies. With Polygon, Mento continues its cross-chain expansion beyond Celo and Monad.
About Mento
The Mento Protocol is the leading decentralized FX infrastructure for institutions and individuals, enabling developers and institutions to launch, trade, and settle global currencies onchain with institutional-grade reliability.

TRON DAO, the community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps), today announced the futures listing of TRX, the native utility token of the TRON network, on Bitnomial, a CFTC-regulated U.S. exchange and clearinghouse.
The new futures listing introduces a regulated derivatives market for TRX, the native utility token of the TRON network, giving eligible U.S. traders and institutions an additional way to manage exposure through exchange-traded futures. The listing represents continued progress in the development of regulated financial products tied to the TRON ecosystem.
TRX powers activity across the TRON blockchain, including transaction fees, smart contract execution, decentralized applications, and on-chain governance. The network has become a leading platform for stablecoin settlement, supporting more than $90 billion in circulating USDT and over $26 billion in total value locked (TVL), while processing billions of transactions across its global user base.
"The launch of the TRX futures contract on Bitnomial expands the ways market participants can access and manage exposure to the TRON ecosystem through a regulated U.S. venue," said Justin Sun, Founder of TRON. "As digital assets become more integrated into traditional financial markets, regulated products like TRX futures help provide market participants with additional tools to access and manage exposure to blockchain-based assets."
“TRX is one of the largest digital assets by market capitalization, backed by one of the most established networks in crypto, and now has a regulated US futures market to match, live today on Bitnomial Exchange,” said Michael Dunn, President of Bitnomial Exchange. “Institutions and traders can hedge and express views on TRX with portfolio margining across positions and settlement through Bitnomial Clearinghouse. Additionally, six months of trading history on a CFTC-regulated futures market meets a key milestone for enabling spot ETFs under the SEC's generic listing standards.”
Bitnomial, LLC, headquartered in Chicago, is a derivatives exchange company that owns and operates U.S. CFTC-regulated exchange (DCM), clearinghouse (DCO), and clearing brokerage (FCM) subsidiaries. Bitnomial offers leveraged spot, perpetuals, futures, options, and prediction markets on a single unified exchange and clearinghouse with digital asset margin and settlement capabilities.
The launch of TRX futures follows Bitnomial's earlier introduction of spot trading for TRX, expanding the range of regulated products available for the asset within the U.S. market. It also builds on broader institutional momentum for the TRON ecosystem, including the availability of TRX custody and staking through Anchorage Digital, the first federally chartered crypto bank in the United States.
As demand for regulated digital asset products continues to increase, the availability of TRX futures on Bitnomial offers market participants additional tools for trading and portfolio management while further connecting the TRON ecosystem with traditional financial markets.
All Bitnomial futures contracts are offered by, and subject to the rules of, Bitnomial Exchange, LLC.

Axis Robotics, the compounding data engine accelerating Physical AI, announces that it has raised $12 million in a seed round led by Hack VC, with participation from Nomad Capital, Pi Network Ventures, 10K Ventures, and various angel investors.
The funding will accelerate Axis’s mission to build a massively parallel, human-in-the-loop global data engine, solving physical AI’s biggest pain point: the scalable generation of structured, highly diverse robotic training data.
Solving the Data Bottleneck in Physical AI
While Large Language Models scale on trillions of tokens of pre-existing internet data, Physical AI faces three important barriers: severe data scarcity, generalization gap, and embodiment fragmentation across different robot hardware.
“Physical AI demands billions of human-physical interaction motion trajectories,” said Chris, Founder of Axis Robotics. “For years the industry lacked an efficient, infinitely scalable hybrid data production system which can help models iterate effortlessly - and that’s exactly what we built with Axis, a compounding data engine.”
How does Axis Empower General Robotics Intelligence
Axis’s proprietary Compounding Data Engine delivers an end-to-end workflow integrating task generation, data capture, continuous model training, and optimization:
Task Gen Engine: Generates exponentially diverse atomic robotic tasks via randomization across objects, spatial layouts, visuals, robot embodiments and semantics, embedding diversity into every single data trajectory;
Browser-Based Sim Teleoperation Platform: The world’s first web-based interface that empowers anyone to generate high-quality robotic motion trajectories remotely. Axis delivers 10x higher throughput than lab-based collection and seamlessly integrates human-gated DAgger (Dataset Aggregation) intervention loops to continuously refine and correct robot policies;
Ego Data Mobile Capture App: Shifts real-world data capture from expensive, hardware-heavy setups to a zero-barrier mobile application. By pairing state-of-the-art (SOTA) real-time hand pose tracking with global workforce, Axis translates human vision and dexterity into robotic motion at global scale;
Data Processing Pipeline: Automates trajectory cleaning, domain randomization and dense language annotation, outputting model-ready multimodal datasets with over 10x improved data quality.
The unified architecture creates a self-reinforcing flywheel: failed robot trajectories from real/sim deployment trigger human corrective intervention, which feeds back into training to expand edge-case coverage, creating compounding intelligence as data volume grows.
Axis’s Structural Moats: A Vertically Integrated Diversity Engine & Global Contributor Network
Axis’s core edge is its unified platform that spans the entire lifecycle of Physical AI. Unlike traditional fragmented approaches, Axis has built a vertically integrated engine that unites large-scale distributed pre-training data collection and real-time human-gated Dataset Aggregation post-training.
Native-built for data diversity, Axis’s proprietary Task Generation Engine randomizes object layouts, lighting, camera poses, physical properties and robot morphologies, creating endless unique scenes and manipulation tasks, outputting generalization-ready training data.
To deliver foundation-model scale diversified data, Axis has established a global robotic data infrastructure with over 100,000 active contributors who submit an average of 3 to 4 times daily, which maximizes both production efficiency and diversity coverage. Today, Axis can generate over 1,200 hours of simulation data and 20,000+ hours of real-world ego-centric data across diverse scenarios every month.
Axis recently launched Sim Dataset V1, with benchmark results showing that engineered diversity delivers measurable performance gains. On LIBERO-Plus, pretraining π0.5 on Axis’s fully diversified dataset improved overall success by 4.9 points, outperforming a volume-matched RoboCasa365 baseline by 31.3 points, with gains in layout generalization, sensor-noise resilience, and robot-pose robustness. This gap demonstrates that Axis’s edge comes from its proprietary diversity pipeline—not simply larger data scale.
Commercialization and Strategic Partnerships
Axis Robotics is rapidly commercializing its high-quality training data for real-world deployment. The company delivers customized "Task Packages" tailored to the specific needs of robotics hardware manufacturers, physical AI model companies, and industrial automation leaders.
Initial commercial partnerships have already been established with companies including Booster Robotics, Manycore Tech, Feagine Robotics, Dexmal, Lotus Car, Geely Auto, SomaStacks and more. These collaborations highlight the immediate market demand for scalable, high-fidelity robotic training data.
Redefine General Physical Intelligence
"The future of Physical AI hinges on deep symbiosis between models and data," said Chris. "Static datasets cannot power general robotic intelligence. The winning solution is a compounding data engine: a vertically integrated system linking a global contributor network with constant model iteration. Every diverse trajectory and human correction fuels faster model improvement, forming a self-reinforcing intelligence flywheel."
The company is driven by a world-class team combining top AI and robotics researchers from elite institutions such as UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon University, Georgia Tech, NTU and SJTU, alongside growth hackers who have previously scaled consumer products to over 30 million global users.
With this $12 million funding round led by Hack VC, Axis Robotics will further expand its procedural generation capabilities, scale its distributed network of contributors, and solidify its position as the critical data engine powering the future of Physical AI.

BloFin Wallet has reached a significant milestone in its evolution, introducing Perpetual Contract Trading and the BloFin Wallet Visa Card, two updates that push the wallet well beyond what most crypto wallets are built to do.
From holding to trading: Perpetual contracts now live
BloFin Wallet users can now trade perpetual contracts directly from their wallet, with access to 100+ tokens spanning both cryptocurrency and tradfi assets. Instead of moving funds to a separate exchange, users can trade within the same wallet they already use for swaps, onramp, and earn.
The update also introduces a referral program tied to perpetual trading. Users can share their invite link and earn fee rebates based on their referrals' trading activity, creating a direct connection between community growth and personal reward.
The next era of finance
BloFin Wallet has also launched the BloFin Wallet Card, a Visa card that lets users spend their digital assets wherever Visa is accepted. The card supports Apple Pay and Google Pay, carries zero issuance and annual fees, and imposes no lock-up period on funds. Users hold their assets until the moment of purchase.
The next phase of digital finance will not be defined by another standalone wallet, exchange, payment card, or yield product. It will be defined by how seamlessly these functions work together. Users increasingly expect to trade, hold, earn, and spend from a single financial environment, without repeatedly moving funds between platforms, waiting through settlement delays, or sacrificing control of their assets. BloFin Wallet is helping pioneer this all-in-one experience. Its ambition extends beyond asset storage: it is building a unified gateway where digital assets can move naturally between investment, trading, yield generation, and everyday spending. By reducing the friction between these activities, BloFin Wallet aims to make crypto capital as accessible and useful as money in a traditional account, while preserving the speed and flexibility of digital markets
The BloFin Wallet Card is a key part of that vision. Alongside the card, BloFin Wallet offers an Earn product with 6%+ APY, enabling users to put idle assets to work while keeping them accessible. Together, Card and Earn create a more efficient capital loop: assets can remain productive when not being spent, stay available when opportunities arise, and be used directly for real-world payments when needed. This reflects a broader shift in the market. Crypto users are moving beyond speculation alone and increasingly looking for practical financial utility. At the same time, fragmented experiences, one platform for trading, another for custody, another for yield, and another for payments, are becoming less acceptable. The platforms positioned to lead the next cycle will be those that combine deep liquidity, capital efficiency, payment access, and intuitive asset management within one connected experience.
BloFin Wallet’s long-term opportunity is to become a financial operating system for the digital-asset economy: one place where users can enter the market, manage risk, grow their assets, and use their wealth in everyday life. The future of finance will not ask users to choose between trading and spending, or between earning and accessibility. It will bring all of these experiences together, and make the transitions between them nearly invisible.
Trade Smarter, Hold Safer
Taken together, these updates say something about where BloFin Wallet is headed. Where most wallets stop at storage and swaps, BloFin Wallet now covers the full arc from on-chain trading to real-world spending, with earning opportunities built in throughout. The BloFin Wallet app is available on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.

Every package includes a main card and a dedicated backup card, allowing users to back up and restore a self-custody cold wallet without writing a seed phrase on paper
D'CENT, a crypto hardware wallet brand used by more than one million people across over 220 countries and regions, announced the global launch of DCENT S, a card-format cold wallet that ships with a dedicated backup card in every package. The main card handles everyday transactions, while the second card, called the R3covery card, restores the wallet if the main card is lost, stolen, or damaged. DCENT S is now available worldwide.
A cold wallet, also known as a hardware wallet, keeps the private key controlling a user's crypto assets isolated from internet-connected environments, out of reach of malware, phishing, and account takeovers, and beyond the platform risk that comes with leaving coins on a centralized exchange. Card-format devices have emerged as a segment of that market aimed at holders who found USB-style wallets too cumbersome to use regularly, with brands including Tangem, Ledger, and Trezor now offering them. The trade-off has typically fallen on backup and recovery, which most devices still leave to a 12- or 24-word seed phrase the user copies out by hand.
D'CENT said DCENT S grew out of that gap. Rather than treating backup as an instruction for the user to follow, the company built it into the hardware and included the second card in every package, so backup is part of the initial setup instead of a separate decision made later.
"Too often, people lose access to their crypto not because of a hacker, but because they lose the paper holding their seed phrase," said Sangsu Baek, CEO of D'CENT. "That is not a user mistake. It is an unsolved design problem, and we took it as ours to solve."
A backup that lives in hardware, not on paper
Each card has a different job. The main card is tapped against a smartphone to sign transactions. The R3covery card stays behind, at home or in a safe, and is not carried day to day.
During setup, the main card generates the private key inside its secure element and passes an encrypted backup to the R3covery card, which holds it inside a second secure element. The seed never appears as readable text on a screen or on paper. If the main card is lost or damaged, the owner taps the R3covery card with the D'CENT mobile app and restores the wallet in under 5 minutes, with no reissue request and no support ticket.
Secured in hardware, built for daily carry
DCENT S generates and protects the private key inside a Common Criteria EAL6+ certified secure element, and signing happens inside that same element, so the key is never handed to the smartphone or the app. The card is built to fail closed: anti-tamper protections lock it automatically if the secure element is tampered with or extracted, as do repeated incorrect PIN attempts.
"Card-format wallets have usually been a trade-off, where you accept a weaker recovery story in exchange for something you can actually carry," said Baek. "We designed and manufactured DCENT S in Korea so we would not have to make that trade."
Signing a transaction takes one motion. Users review the amount, destination address, and network in the D'CENT app, then hold the card against the back of their smartphone. There is no cable, no pairing, and no battery to charge. At launch the card works across more than 100 blockchain networks, covering assets from Bitcoin and Ethereum to XRP and ERC-20 tokens, so long-term holders can move coins off an exchange and keep them in self-custody on a single card.

Cointelegraph Research and 8lends have released a joint study on the estimated €39 billion annual funding gap facing small and medium-sized enterprises across Europe.
The new report, “The SME Private Credit Gap: What Most RWA Investors Are Missing,” examines why many European SMEs still have difficulty securing funding from banks and large private credit providers. The study also considers whether onchain private credit can widen access to SME loans when onchain distribution is paired with regulated underwriting and locally enforceable collateral claims.
Europe’s SME credit shortage deepens
Bank lending to smaller businesses has remained under pressure since the global financial crisis. New SME lending in the European Union declined by a further 12% in 2023 amid higher interest rates and economic uncertainty.
Meanwhile, demand for tokenized real-world assets has grown rapidly. Excluding stablecoins, onchain RWAs increased from approximately $2.7 billion in January 2024 to around $30 billion by April 2026. Private credit accounted for roughly $6.1 billion.
Retail access remains limited. Accredited investor rules and high minimum allocations exclude many participants, and geographic restrictions create another barrier. Centrifuge’s ACRDX product, for example, requires a minimum investment of $500,000 and limits participation to non-US accredited investors.
A hybrid route to retail private credit
The structured-access hybrid model separates onchain capital flows from the regulated work behind each loan. Investors fund opportunities in USDC through smart contracts on the Base blockchain. Maclear AG verifies borrowers, assesses more than 40 credit criteria, inspects collateral where required and structures the legal claim.
Each approved loan receives a rating ranging from AAA to D. Collateral may include real estate, vehicles, industrial equipment, inventory and cash reserves. Loan agreements specify the assets, which are recorded in relevant local registries where applicable.
When a campaign is fully funded, the smart contract sends the capital to the borrower. Repayments then flow directly to investors’ wallets.
Loans that miss a payment enter a 30-to-60-day workout period. Buyback-designated positions may be repurchased after 60 days, subject to the financial strength of the BuyBack provider. Other cases proceed to collateral recovery through the borrower’s local legal system.
8lends provides the retail-facing layer of the model. The platform distributes loans originated and underwritten by Swiss financial intermediary Maclear AG, with investments starting at 100 USDC.
Operating metrics from the 8lends platform show steady traction:
Maclear had originated approximately €118.9 million in SME loans as of June 2026.By June 2026, Maclear’s wider portfolio had returned €27.4 million in principal and distributed €10.4 million in interest to investors.Since 8lends launched in March 2025, around $15.4 million in USD/USDC-equivalent volume has been distributed onchain through the platform.Of that onchain volume, 5.79 million USDC, or 38%, has been repaid. Another 9.61 million USDC remains in active credit.8lends has served 2,143 investors, with investments starting at 100 USDC.
Maclear’s wider lending portfolio had returned €27.4 million in principal by June 2026. A further €10.4 million in interest had been distributed to investors.
What gives tokenized credit its value
A token records ownership and settles transactions quickly. Its economic value rests on whether the underlying claim can be enforced when a borrower defaults.
Prospective investors should review the loan originator, collateral valuation, repayment servicer and party responsible for recoveries. Blockchain records show where funds move. Legal documents determine what investors can claim after a default.

PRAGUE, Czech Republic, July 2026 - HyroTrader, a crypto proprietary trading firm, has been named Best Prop Trading Firm at the CoinGape Web3 Innovation Awards 2026. The award, decided by an independent judging panel featuring representatives from Polygon Labs, Visa, Beldex, Shirplink, and Liminal Custody, recognizes the firm's transparent, exchange-connected funding model for digital asset traders.
The CoinGape Web3 Innovation Awards honor organizations, products, and innovators shaping the future of Web3 across multiple categories. HyroTrader was selected for the prop trading category based on its direct exchange execution model, risk management framework, and consistent payout record.
HyroTrader provides funded accounts of up to $200,000 for trading USDT perpetual contracts across more than 700 cryptocurrencies. Unlike prop firms that rely on internal pricing systems, HyroTrader routes trading activity to real exchange environments through a secure API connection to Bybit, an approach the firm pioneered when it introduced direct exchange integration in 2023. Traders keep up to 90 percent of profits and withdraw earnings in USDT or USDC.
The firm currently serves a community of more than 35,000 members, has funded over 1,700 traders, and has paid out more than $5 million to funded traders since its founding in 2022.
"This award reflects the standard we set for ourselves from day one: real exchange execution, clear rules, and payouts traders can verify," said Samuel Drnda, CEO of HyroTrader. "Recognition from a panel of this caliber confirms that transparency is not a marketing angle. It is the future of prop trading."
Hyro Protocol: Bringing Prop Trading On-Chain
The award arrives as HyroTrader prepares its next chapter. On July 8, the firm announced Hyro Protocol, an on-chain crypto prop trading protocol built on Solana that settles in USDC.
Hyro Protocol connects traders seeking capital with liquidity providers seeking exposure to verified trading strategies. At its core is the vault model: structured capital pools with smart-contract-enforced rules, transparent accounting, and on-chain performance records. Traders can prove themselves through Challenge Vaults or, if they hold an established track record, apply to manage LP capital directly through Direct Vaults. Every key protocol event, including vault creation, deposits, NAV updates, and payouts, is designed to be verifiable on-chain.
"Most prop firms still run on closed systems where rules can change mid-evaluation and payouts happen behind closed doors," Drnda added. "Hyro Protocol replaces trust with verification. Traders own their track records, LPs can check every number on a block explorer, and capital scales with performance instead of one company's balance sheet."
Trade execution will continue on professional exchange infrastructure, while protocol state settles on-chain, preserving the liquidity and execution quality traders expect. HyroTrader will publish program IDs, audit reports, and explorer links as each protocol component goes live.
About HyroTrader
HyroTrader is a crypto proprietary trading firm headquartered in Prague, Czech Republic. Founded in 2022, the company introduced the first direct exchange integration in crypto prop trading, enabling traders to operate on their own exchange accounts with funded capital of up to $200,000. HyroTrader has paid out more than $5 million to over 1,700 funded traders.

If tokenized reserve assets are going to serve as collateral and support lending, treasury management, and settlement across on-chain finance, their backing must remain continuously verifiable.
Today, Matrixdock has completed its fourth consecutive semi-annual independent reserve audit with Bureau Veritas. For the first time, the audit extends beyond Matrixdock’s tokenized gold product (XAUm) to include its tokenized silver product (XAGm). More than another audit milestone, this reflects Matrixdock’s broader commitment: building reserve assets that institutions, ecosystem partners, and builders can use with confidence.
Two Years of Continuous Verification. One Operating Standard.
By completing two years of reserve audits with the same independent auditor, Matrixdock has established a consistent verification process. That continuity gives Bureau Veritas a deeper understanding of Matrixdock’s reserve structure and positions them to better identify inconsistencies should they arise. Recurring audits are a form of proof: a verification process that operates consistently over time.
As tokenized assets become increasingly integrated into financial infrastructure, long-term trust is built through continuous operation.
The Reserve Transparency Stack
Reserve transparency at Matrixdock is built in layers of verification that together give holders ongoing visibility into the assets backing each token. Matrixdock calls this the Reserve Transparency Stack.
Independent Verification: Inside the July Audit
Bureau Veritas physically verified the underlying precious metal reserves, confirming that reserve holdings remain consistent with Matrixdock’s records.
As in previous audit cycles, the inspection was conducted bar by bar covering 574 gold and silver bars from LBMA-accredited refiners across three institutional vault facilities:
Malca-Amit Singapore (conducted on 3 July 2026)Brink’s Hong Kong (conducted on 8 July 2026)Brink’s Singapore (conducted on 15 July 2026)
Each bar was individually weighed and measured. 26 gold bars have been added since the H2 2025 audit, and 66 silver bars are included for the first time this cycle.
Gold (XAUm)
Total gold audited: 508 barsEquivalent weight: 16331.184 troy ouncesXAUm circulating supply: 16331.179 tokensEVM chains (Dune): 11242.657 tokensSui network (Suiscan): 2677.413 tokensSolana network (Solscan): 1575.248 tokensStellar network (Stellar expert): 771.552 tokens Approximate market value: USD $66.09 million, based on gold at $4,046.86 per troy ounce
Silver (XAGm) - new to this audit
Total silver audited: 66 barsEquivalent weight: 65,934.000 troy ouncesXAGm circulating supply: 65998.551 tokensEthereum network (Etherscan): 33004.219 tokensSui network (Suiscan): 32990 tokensCurrent ozPerToken value: 0.999021918Approximate market value: USD $4.04 million, based on silver at $61.24 per troy ounce
Each bar was reconciled against the relevant vault records with no discrepancies identified. As of the audit date, XAUm reserves were consistent with the circulating token supply, and XAGm reserves were consistent with the circulating token supply when applying the applicable ozPerToken value.
Ongoing Transparency
A semi-annual reserve audit is one layer of verification. Between audits, holders can check monthly reserve asset statements, on-chain proof-of-reserves for the precious metals products, and the Gold Allocation Lookup tool, which maps specific gold bars to tokens so holders can verify the backing directly. Together, these provide a running record rather than periodic snapshots.
Building the Reserve Layer requires continuous improvement. Looking ahead, Matrixdock is evaluating opportunities to work with global third-party service providers that could strengthen asset-level verification for off-chain reserves while preserving client-level privacy.
Continuous Transparency as the Reserve Layer Discipline
Reserve transparency is the foundation that makes reserve assets trusted enough to participate confidently across on-chain finance.
When reserve backing can be verified at any time, a reserve asset can move deeper into on-chain finance: held in treasuries, integrated into financial applications, and used as collateral in lending markets. By reducing uncertainty around backing, verification expands what a reserve asset can do. That is why reserve transparency is a product feature at Matrixdock.
This is the work of building the Reserve Layer for on-chain finance. As tokenized assets evolve from simple representations into financial infrastructure, their quality will be defined by how well their backing holds up to verification, cycle after cycle. The fourth consecutive semi-annual reserve audit reflects Matrixdock’s long-term commitment to building the Reserve Layer.
