$500B Deposit Drain Isn’t a Meme: The Hidden Plumbing That’s Rewiring Banking Through Stablecoins
People don’t pull their money out of banks just because they’re mad at banks. It happens when something smarter comes along — like stablecoins. They let you move dollars faster, send them anywhere, plug into all sorts of apps, and stash the actual backing in places banks can’t touch.

That’s why Standard Chartered’s recent warning, picked up by Reuters, landed with a thud. They’re talking about hundreds of billions of U.S. deposits leaving for stablecoins, and regional banks could take the hardest punch. This isn’t some crypto fantasy. It’s actually changing how money moves behind the scenes.

The simplest truth: stablecoins are a payments layer attached to a reserve balance sheet
Here’s the thing about stablecoins: they’re not just some digital token floating around. They’re built on a pretty simple setup—a payment layer that’s anchored to a real reserve balance sheet.
Think of stablecoins as having two sides.
First, there’s the on-chain token supply. These tokens aren’t just numbers; they’re liabilities for the issuer. Each one is a promise—a claim that you can actually swap it for dollars, either straight from the issuer or through their partners.Then you’ve got the off-chain reserves. That’s where the issuer keeps their assets. The way they manage these reserves matters. They might leave the money sitting in bank accounts, or shift it over to Treasuries and money markets. The choice they make here decides whether funds stay in banks or start moving elsewhere.
Honestly, this decision about reserves is what really drives deposit drain. That’s the core of it all.
What actually happens when a user “moves money into stablecoins”
You put in your dollars, and that mints stablecoins. The reserves then move over to T-bills. Those stablecoins start circulating—people use them like regular money for payments. When someone wants to cash out, the whole process runs backward.

Now let's dive deeper
Step 1: You start with deposit money, not “cash”
Your bank balance isn’t really yours sitting in a vault somewhere. It’s money the bank owes you. Banks use those deposits to hand out loans and buy up securities—it’s their cheapest way to get cash.

So when people start pulling their money out, banks don’t just lose customers. They lose the fuel that keeps their whole business running.

Step 2: Minting stablecoins changes where the dollar sits in the system
When you mint a stablecoin, you’re basically moving your dollars out of your own bank account and into the hands of the stablecoin issuer. Now, what happens next depends on where the issuer parks those reserves.
Case A: Issuer keeps reserves in banks
If the issuer mostly leaves the money sitting in regular bank accounts, your dollars don’t really leave the banking system. They just move from your name to the issuer’s, still living inside some bank’s books.
Case B: Issuer puts reserves in Treasuries and similar stuff
But if the issuer uses your money to buy short-term Treasuries, repos, or government-backed money market funds, that’s a different story. Now, your dollars stop helping banks make loans and start flowing into the Treasury market instead.

That’s why you hear analysts say, “Not much money is coming back to banks.” If most of the reserves are in Treasuries, it’s really a one-way trip—money leaves the banks and doesn’t circle back.

Step 3: Stablecoins become “high-speed money wrappers” with a Treasury-backed core
Here’s the part most people miss: at scale, a major fiat-backed stablecoin starts resembling a digitally native money market wrapper, except it’s tradable and transferable on-chain.
That is powerful because it combines:
Treasury-style reserve safety (short duration government assets)Instant portability (send anywhere, anytime)Programmability (payments, escrow, settlement logic)Composability (apps can integrate stablecoins like an API)
The result is a dollar instrument that behaves like “checking money” in user experience, but funds itself like “Treasury money” in reserves.
Step 4: Circulation moves payment activity off the traditional bank-to-bank stack
Once minted, stablecoins circulate through:
P2P transfersMerchant paymentsExchangesDeFi settlementRemittancesPayroll or treasury ops for businesses
Every time the stablecoin changes hands, that’s a payment. You don’t need to tap into the old bank payment rails for each one. The stablecoin network becomes the main layer, and banks end up on the sidelines, just handling the cash-in and cash-out points.

That’s why you can’t really separate the “deposit story” from the “payments story.” Banks held onto deposits for so long because they controlled payments. But when payments move somewhere else, deposits follow right behind.
Why regional banks get hit first, not because they’re “worse,” but because they’re built differently
Big banks and regional banks don’t run the same business model.
Regional banks tend to rely more on:
deposits as their primary funding basetraditional lending spread as a major profit enginefewer alternative fee engines than mega-banks
So if deposits leak out, regional banks face a harsher set of choices:
raise deposit rates to retain funds (margins compress)shrink the balance sheet (less lending capacity)borrow wholesale funding (more sensitive to stress, higher cost)
That’s why warnings often emphasize that the pain isn’t evenly distributed.

The accelerant: “rewards” can turn stablecoins into a deposit magnet
Even without hype, stablecoins offer convenience. But convenience plus incentives is a different game.
If stablecoin ecosystems can offer reward-like benefits (directly or indirectly), the stablecoin starts to compete with checking and savings products on user economics, not just on speed.
You don’t even need a debate to see the mechanism:
user holds stablecoin as a balanceissuer holds Treasuriessomeone shares part of the yield or offers perksdeposit retention becomes harder, especially for rate-sensitive users
This is where policy and design collide, and why the “deposit flight” narrative is so politically explosive.

The second-order effect: deposit drain isn’t the only risk channel
At large scale, stablecoins can also transmit stress into the short-term funding world.
Because if reserves are concentrated in short-term government assets, then in a heavy redemption scenario:
issuers may need to liquidate or roll reserves aggressivelyliquidity conditions in short-term markets can tightenstablecoin redemption pressure can echo into broader funding plumbing
This isn’t fear-mongering. It’s the same structural truth that finance learns repeatedly: when something becomes system-scale, it becomes system-relevant.

The takeaway: stablecoins aren’t “killing banks,” they’re rerouting where money lives
Here’s what matters: stablecoins aren’t putting banks out of business, they’re just changing where the money sits.

If you only remember one thing, let it be this: Stablecoins don’t erase dollars. They just move them—from regular bank accounts into reserves held by issuers, usually parked in Treasuries. They also shift payments onto a global, programmable platform.

So when people talk about deposits leaving banks, it’s not just about crypto. It’s about how banks get their funding, how payments move, and what’s happening in the Treasury market—all of it, all at once.

If stablecoins become the default checking account, what’s the one bank product that dies first: debit cards, savings accounts, or the entire “free checking” model?
Accurate. The narrative is shifting from pure disruption to complementary infrastructure.

Walrus just hit a new milestone—17.8 TB uploaded in a single day. That’s not only the biggest day they’ve ever had, but it’s more than twice their old record. The system handled it all without a hitch, just like it was built to do.
The protocol runs on Sui but stays chain-agnostic. It uses Seal to lock down data, so access stays verifiable and under control. This backbone drives data markets that fuel AI projects.
For developers, it’s a sweet deal. You get tough, decentralized hosting—sites live as transferable objects, work right in the browser, and don’t need wallets. Even if nodes go down, your site stays up. Plus, the costs go toe-to-toe with the big, centralized players.
Backing all this, the Walrus Foundation pulled in $140 million from a16z and Standard Crypto. They’re using it to keep building.
As storage volumes grow, more developers show up, bringing apps that need serious capacity. That steady demand keeps everything moving forward.

Why Walrus Is Quietly Powering the Next Wave of AI Infrastructure
Walrus doesn’t blink at enterprise-sized data loads. Just yesterday, 17.8 terabytes landed on the network—more than double the old daily record. The system just keeps running, built to handle whatever people throw at it.
At its core, Walrus is a developer platform on Sui, but it doesn’t stop there. It helps teams turn data into a real asset—something you can verify, monetize, and actually trust in AI applications. Thanks to its chain-agnostic setup, you’re not limited to Sui either. It’s got reach.

The tech behind it all? Erasure coding. Think of it like splitting files into fragments and scattering them across independent nodes, with Sui metadata keeping everything honest. It uses 2D Reed-Solomon coding, which adds a hefty 4.5x redundancy for durability. Multi-stage epochs keep node churn from becoming a headache.
Right now, Walrus stores 309 terabytes across 3.5 million blobs. Adoption’s steady. About a billion WAL tokens are staked, with the largest node holding just 2.6%. There’s a max supply of 5 billion tokens.
Security’s tight, too. Walrus works with Seal for data protection, so everything stays confidential and access is locked down. Data remains verifiable all the way from code to content. Partners like Talus (AI agents on Sui) and Itheum (for data tokenization) help round out the ecosystem.
The Walrus App lets people host fully decentralized websites—cheaper than Web2, more reliable than most Web3. Sites live as transferable objects, so even if some nodes drop, your site stays up. You can build your site with any framework, publish to Walrus, and get an object ID and URL. No wallet needed—just click and go. Check out Flatland at flatland.wal.app or Snowreads at snowreads.wal.app for real examples.
Developers are using Walrus for dApps on Sui, Ethereum, and Solana. No servers required. Web3 users get easy, decentralized access, and AI applications finally get data with traceable origins.
A partnership with Pipe Network just added over 280,000 new points-of-presence. That means less lag for AI work, and nodes get WAL rewards for proving performance. Governance runs on stake-weighted voting.

The last Haulout Hackathon brought in 887 developers who built 282 projects—almost 20 went straight to mainnet. The SDK keeps picking up steam. With erasure coding, files are split and stored securely, and storage proofs keep everyone honest.
Team Liquid moved over 50 terabytes using ZarkLab, with more than half of nodes verified. It’s proof Walrus can scale in the real world. WAL delegates to nodes, which earn uptime rewards and face penalties if they slip up. That keeps things running right.
Walrus tackles one of AI’s biggest headaches: data verification. Too many AI agents make decisions using data with no clear origin, and bad data costs companies billions every year. Walrus brings visibility and quality control, tracking where data comes from and keeping it trustworthy.
The ecosystem’s picking up speed. More data brings in more developers. More apps mean more need for storage, which leads back to more data. It’s a cycle that keeps growing the network and pulls in DeFi and AI projects alike.
The WAL token handles storage fees (pegged to USD for stability), then pays out nodes and stakers. Delegation makes the network safer. Governance takes care of rewards and slashing.
Walrus is built for this new AI era. Data markets are starting to show up, trust grows as more verification tools come online, and redundancy means your data sticks around for the long haul.
Developers are taking notice. The hackathons aren’t just talk—they’re leading to mainnet launches. Partnerships keep expanding what Walrus can do. Metrics like total blob count and staked tokens back it all up.
In short, Walrus is rewriting the rules for data in crypto. Coding and verification bring real reliability. The daily upload numbers and total storage show it scales. The future of AI’s going to need strong foundations, and Walrus is quietly becoming one of them.

Why Dusk Is the Silent Force Tokenizing Global Finance On-Chain
Dusk isn’t just another blockchain project—it’s quietly reshaping the way global finance works on-chain. The future of finance sits on on-chain markets, and Dusk is right out front, offering privacy that actually meets regulatory standards. Institutions can move regulated assets around, and privacy stays locked in.
Dusk runs as a Layer 1 blockchain. It’s been around since 2018. The modular setup is built for the real financial world: regulated infrastructure, institutional apps, compliant DeFi, and actual tokenized assets. Privacy isn’t an afterthought—it’s baked into everything, right alongside auditability.

With DuskEVM, developers just use Solidity contracts like they’re used to. Everything settles on Dusk’s Layer 1, so there’s barely any friction. You get compliant DeFi and real-world asset applications, right out of the box. The mainnet has been live since early January 2026.
Hedger is Dusk’s privacy shield for EVM—confidential transactions, zero-knowledge proofs, homomorphic encryption. Balances and amounts stay private, but you can still audit things when you need to. This is built for the kind of finance that has rules. The alpha version already runs.
Citadel protocol goes further, letting users share compliance certificates without revealing the original data. It turns identity checks into encrypted assets—users keep control, and their withdrawal rights stay protected.
Phoenix rewrites the rules for transaction privacy. It tunnels transactions with nullification factors and single-use public keys, hiding details from outside eyes. Privacy isn’t optional here; it’s the standard. No one’s tracking your moves.
Piecrust, Dusk’s virtual machine, reworks WebAssembly to make zero-knowledge verification lightning fast. Poseidon hash runs natively, so even low-power devices keep up. Millisecond cryptography, max efficiency.
Dusk locks in consensus with Secure Byzantine Agreement. It picks validation committees at random, so every block is finalized instantly—no waiting for confirmations or worrying about forks. Asset ownership is clear, and disputes don’t drag on.

Assets move fast on Dusk. Liquidity stays high, settlement is secure. Digital assets don’t get stuck or delayed.
The ecosystem’s getting stronger all the time. Dusk partners with NPEX, a regulated Dutch exchange with multiple licenses. Tokenized securities on the platform have already crossed €300 million.
Quantoz brings EURQ, a MiCA-compliant e-money token, 1:1 backed by fiat, issued under EU rules. It’s transparent, built for institutions, and plugs right into on-chain markets.
Cordial Systems handles compliant custody. TradeOn21X is breaking new ground with DLT-TSS. Chainlink brings cross-chain power—secure moves, real-time data feeds, and data integrity, all of which make life easier for RWAs.
DuskTrade is the new platform for trading RWAs, built with NPEX. Tokenized assets trade easily, funds stay on-chain, and everything happens in a licensed, regulated space.
RWAs on-chain now total $23.2 billion, up 11% this year. Represented RWAs hit $335 billion, up 35%. There are 650,000 asset holders, up 10%. Stablecoin users worldwide? 220 million.
Sozu adds liquid staking to Dusk. Total value locked is at 26.6 million, with APR around 29.75%. Deposits and rewards are smooth and efficient.
Dusk Explorer lets anyone see private transfers in action. The community built it to show how privacy really works.
Cross-chain features keep growing. Chainlink standards are in, so data’s reliable and asset movements stay compliant—even across chains.
For eight years, Dusk has led the way in privacy tech. Institutions are catching on, using Dusk to get regulatory privacy and on-chain efficiency.
Regulated finance needs real privacy. Dusk delivers tools that actually work for institutions. Global markets are moving on-chain, and Dusk is ready for it—privacy-first, right from the start.

The $7 Billion Stablecoin Giant Making Instant Global Payments Real
Moving money across borders still drags along—slow, pricey, and tangled up in old banking rails. Plasma changes all that. It’s a Layer 1 blockchain built just for stablecoins, and it settles transactions instantly, for next to nothing, no matter where you are.
Right now, Plasma holds a whopping $7 billion in stablecoin deposits, making it the fourth biggest network by USDT balance—right after the heavyweights.
Everything about Plasma revolves around performance. It cranks out over 1,000 transactions a second, with block times under one second. Money moves in the blink of an eye, even when things get busy and other networks lag.

Plasma natively supports more than 25 stablecoins. You pick the asset that fits, and they all hold their value, pegged to regular currencies.
It’s not just fast—it’s global. Plasma connects with over 100 countries, covers 100 different currencies, and works with more than 200 payment methods. You can deposit fiat, get stablecoins right away, or cash out—no hoops, no middlemen, just a smooth bridge between banks and onchain finance.
Plasma’s reach comes from its partnerships. It’s already locked in over 100 integrations with payment companies, merchants, and fintech platforms. That’s how stablecoins on Plasma turn into real, everyday money—not just numbers on a screen.
DeFi protocols get it, too. Plasma is the second largest chain for total value locked across giants like Aave, Fluid, Pendle, and Ethena. On Aave v3, Plasma has the highest ratio of stablecoins supplied versus borrowed, which means capital flows efficiently—money isn’t just sitting around.
Take SyrupUSDT, for example. It’s a liquidity pool run by Maple Finance, and it’s grown to over $1.1 billion TVL on Plasma. Institutions can earn on-chain yields, and there’s plenty of liquidity for both trading and borrowing.
The payment rails keep expanding. Confirmo, which processes more than $80 million a month for big businesses in e-commerce and payroll, now runs on Plasma. Merchants get to accept USDT payments with zero gas fees.
Rain lets people spend their Plasma-based stablecoins at over 150 million merchants worldwide, thanks to card programs. No need for manual off-ramping—your crypto turns into real-world spending power.
Plasma’s trading stack keeps up, too. CoW Swap just rolled out, bringing MEV-protected, gas-free swaps. With NEAR Intents, developers can settle big trades across 125+ assets at prices you’d expect from centralized exchanges.
Fluid’s launch on Plasma boosts lending and borrowing even more. Its setup lets protocols spin up deep markets fast, all within Plasma’s stablecoin-first ecosystem.
Put it all together, and Plasma shapes up as the backbone for the next wave of financial apps. Lightning-fast finality, huge capacity, and easy fiat access—all in one chain designed for stable value.
It works for everyone. People sending money home can do it instantly. Companies pay global teams or manage big treasuries without the usual friction. Plasma strips out the pain of moving money worldwide, but keeps everything secure and transparent on-chain.
Now that stablecoins run more and more real-world transactions, blockchains built just for them have a serious edge. Plasma’s growth, deep liquidity, and constant integrations show how onchain finance can plug right into the real economy—today, not someday.

Execution isn’t what’s holding back blockchain AI anymore. The real issue? Stateless agents. They forget what just happened, can’t build on what they’ve already learned, and choke when things get busy.
Vanar tackled this from the start with a dedicated intelligence layer:
• myNeutron gives agents a real memory—they remember context.
• Kayon handles reasoning right on-chain, and you can see how it thinks.
• Flows lets agents act automatically while keeping track of what matters.
Thousands are already using myNeutron. This is real infrastructure for agents that actually remember, adapt, and get the job done when it counts.

The Fatal Flaw Killing Most AI Agents on Blockchain – Vanar’s Fix is Already Live
AI agents are everywhere in crypto right now. Everyone’s talking about autonomous trading, smart dApps that run themselves, and onchain decision-making. But here’s the thing nobody likes to admit: almost every one of these agents is forgetful. Every time they interact, it’s like a blank slate. No memory, no context, no way to build on what happened before. They keep relearning the same stuff, stuck in a loop. It’s not just a small bug—it’s a huge flaw stopping real autonomy and real-world use.
Vanar Chain decided to tackle this head-on. Instead of bolting on memory as an afterthought, Vanar built intelligence right into the chain itself. The whole thing runs on a five-layer stack where memory, reasoning, and automation are baked in, not tacked on. At the base, it’s a modular Layer 1 blockchain. Fast, secure, EVM-compatible—the works. Then comes Neutron, the semantic memory layer. Neutron takes raw data, compresses it, and stores it onchain as “Seeds.” These Seeds aren’t just data—they’re knowledge objects that any AI agent can grab instantly, without having to start over.

Right on top of Neutron sits Kayon, the contextual reasoning engine. Kayon digs into stored memory, pulls out insights, makes sure everything stays compliant, and can execute logic directly onchain. No oracles, no external middleware, no jumping through hoops. Decisions are transparent, you can track exactly how an agent got there, and everything builds on a full historical context. So agents don’t just react—they actually learn and get smarter with every use.
And this isn’t just theory. Vanar’s approach is already out in the wild. myNeutron acts as a personal AI companion, using that persistent memory so it can remember what you did last time. Thousands of people already use it, letting them keep context between sessions. Notes, files, decisions—anything—become structured Seeds: easy to find, easy to share, and permanent. This isn’t some testnet gimmick. It’s running in production, with real users, right now.

Vanar isn’t stopping with its own chain, either. The whole stack now works cross-chain, starting with Base. Suddenly, a much bigger chunk of the crypto world can plug into Vanar’s memory and reasoning, without having to leave their home base. Builders on Base get to add persistent intelligence to their apps, no migration headaches. The more people use it, the stronger the memory layer gets—a flywheel effect that siloed chains just can’t match.
Payments are the last piece for true autonomous agents. Vanar’s teamed up with Worldpay to make agentic payments happen—AI agents that can handle real transactions, with compliance and trust built in. The recent Abu Dhabi Finance Week showed off this integration in action: agents using onchain memory and reasoning to process payments securely, without human hand-holding. Vanar’s also bringing in payments leadership to keep closing the gap between traditional finance and the new AI-driven world.
Most blockchains treat AI as just another feature—run your model on top of a generic chain, hope for the best. Vanar flips that upside down. The chain itself is designed for native memory, contextual reasoning, persistent workflows, and secure settlements. Axon and Flows layers are coming soon, promising even more advanced automations and industry-focused applications. The end goal? Agents that never stop learning, never forget, and actually work in the real world.
Trying to patch this with sidechains or off-chain databases just doesn’t cut it. You get lag, trust issues, and single points of failure. Vanar’s native approach avoids all that right from the start. Its stack gives agents exactly what they need: lasting context, smarter decisions, and intelligence that sticks with them no matter where they go.
This isn’t just talk. The intelligence layer already powers thousands of users through myNeutron, expands into new ecosystems with Base, and bridges to the real economy with Worldpay. All of it runs on infrastructure built for AI agents from day one—not retrofitted smart contracts.
There’s a clear shift happening. Speed and TPS? That’s yesterday’s news. What matters now: memory that doesn’t disappear, reasoning you can actually follow, and context that grows stronger over time. Vanar delivers all of that—live, native, and growing fast.

Why Walrus Is the Hidden Force Behind AI’s Data Revolution
Walrus is making waves as a developer platform on Sui, even if most people haven’t heard about it yet. Data markets here aren’t just alive—they’re thriving, built for the crazy pace of the AI era. Walrus doesn’t play favorites, either. Its chain-agnostic setup means it can plug into just about any blockchain, instantly expanding its reach. The Walrus Foundation keeps the whole thing running smoothly.
At the heart of Walrus, you get this powerful data availability layer. It’s built to handle massive amounts of data—think huge blobs, AI datasets, entire media libraries. These stay secure and reliable, even as the system distributes them using erasure coding. That keeps redundancy low, so it’s efficient, but if a node drops out? Your data just bounces back, no sweat.
Controlling access is the job of the Seal component. It makes sure only the right people can get in, while availability proofs back up the integrity of the data. All the important metadata gets anchored on Sui. Smart contracts do the heavy lifting, checking things without needing to download everything. And when you need to grab some giant chunk of data, retrieval times are lightning—under two seconds for big blobs.

Right now, Walrus stores over a petabyte of data. That milestone came hot on the heels of their mainnet launch in late 2025. Some days, people upload more than 17 terabytes. Infrastructure here isn’t small-time—it scales up to meet enterprise demands. They’ve even smashed single-day upload records, doubling past highs.
The WAL token handles storage payments. Prices depend on how big your data is and how long you want to keep it. Nodes in the network earn rewards for keeping data available, but if they drop the ball, they face penalties. Staking is at the core of governance—token holders vote on things like capacity limits and adjust network settings. To keep things balanced, part of the base fees get burned.
Walrus isn’t working in a vacuum. It’s already teamed up with other projects to integrate AI. Talus, for example, manages model inputs, while Walrus takes care of output storage. Itheum steps in to enable programmable data markets—datasets are gated, licensing happens right on-chain, and creators can actually monetize their work.
Demand for verifiable data is exploding. Dozens of dApps already depend on Walrus for storage. Media uploads keep climbing, and more teams need reliable datasets. When Team Liquid moved their archives here, it marked the largest dataset migration yet.
The problem is clear: bad data costs billions every year. AI agents usually don’t know where their data comes from, and quality checks often fall short. Walrus changes that. Now, decisions rest on trustworthy, verified sources. The infrastructure does the hard work of checking origins.
Wal.app opens the door for decentralized sites. You can publish code from any framework, generate object IDs, and share URLs anyone can use—no wallet needed. Browsers display these sites, and resources move around as objects.
These sites aren’t just easy to access—they’re tough to take down. Walrus delivers global availability, keeps costs low, and shrugs off censorship. DApps can run fully decentralized on Sui, and the platform connects easily with Ethereum and Solana.
Real-world examples keep popping up: Flatland runs live, Snowreads just works, Walrus Staking is up, and documentation is right at your fingertips.
The build cycle here is fast and relentless. More data comes in, developers flock to the platform, new apps launch, and storage needs keep climbing. The momentum feeds itself, compounding the whole ecosystem’s growth.
AI is moving so fast, every day feels like a year’s worth of progress. Walrus brings the consistency and reliability that AI needs to keep up. Centralized roadblocks start to disappear, and adoption gets easier.
In short, Walrus is where powerful data storage meets strong verification. The infrastructure’s rock-solid, AI fits right in, and DeFi elements blend seamlessly. It’s the backbone for the next wave in data—and most people are just starting to notice.

Unlocking Economic Freedom: How Dusk Puts Institutional Power in Every Wallet
Dusk is changing the way people think about finance. Forget the old guard—Dusk brings regulated markets straight onto the blockchain, so you get real access, not just promises. Privacy comes first. Suddenly, global users have the same shot at assets that once only institutions could touch.
Dusk’s big idea is inclusion. Now, institution-grade assets actually land in your wallet. Their privacy tech weaves traditional finance together with real-world assets, and issuers get new ways to tap into liquidity that used to be scattered all over the place. No more jumping through hoops with custodians. The whole market comes to you, no fuss.

The Stablecoin Chain Backed by Tether’s CEO and Trump’s Inner Circle That’s Already Holding $7B
When Tether’s CEO teams up with a former U.S. Treasury Secretary, a CFTC Chairman, and even Trump’s “Crypto Czar” to back a new blockchain, people pay attention. That’s exactly what’s happening with Plasma. Paolo Ardoino, Scott Bessent, Chris Giancarlo, and David Sacks aren’t just big names—they actually shape crypto markets and global policy.
Their support isn’t just for show. Plasma isn’t trying to be everything to everyone; it’s laser-focused on stablecoins. Speed, low fees, and global reach are built in from the ground up. Right now, $7 billion in stablecoins sit on Plasma, making it the fourth largest chain by USDT balance. This isn’t a ghost town—there’s real money moving through it every day, exactly as intended.

The numbers are hard to ignore. Plasma handles over a thousand transactions every second. Blocks settle in under a second. Sending money costs just 0.20 USDT, whether it’s a tiny payment or a massive transfer. You don’t have to wait, and you don’t get hammered by fees. That’s the point.
Plasma isn’t married to one stablecoin, either. There are more than 25 supported natively. So, users pick what fits without hopping between platforms.
On the fiat side, Plasma stands out. It connects to over 100 countries, supports more than 100 currencies, and hooks into 200-plus payment methods. You can deposit or withdraw directly on-chain—no forced conversions, no third-party middlemen.

There’s muscle behind the scenes, too: over 100 partnerships with payment providers, fintech companies, and merchants. Stablecoins on Plasma aren’t just sitting there—they’re moving into real-world payments and business.
Put it all together and you get a network that’s actually ready for stablecoins to go mainstream. The Tether connection means deep USDT liquidity, while heavyweight policy support signals that they’re not ignoring the regulatory side of things.
So, Plasma isn’t just another blockchain experiment. It’s built for serious volume and works for everyone, whether you’re a financial giant or just moving money around the world.
Purpose-built for stablecoins, Plasma does one thing—and does it very well. General-purpose chains try to juggle everything. Plasma focuses and delivers.
With $7 billion already on board and an all-star roster backing it, Plasma isn’t just talking about the future. It’s running, right now, with the speed, costs, and global reach stablecoins need to work as digital cash.
You don’t see networks like this often—real technical chops plus heavyweight support. Plasma offers both, today.

The Missing Piece in AI Agents: Real Money Movement Without Trust Issues Vanar Delivers It Natively
AI agents keep grabbing headlines with talk of autonomous trading and decision-making. But there’s still one big roadblock: actually moving money in a way that’s secure and compliant. These agents can crunch the numbers and tell you what to do, sure. But when it comes to sending real payments—especially in regulated environments—you need ironclad compliance, traceable proofs, and clean settlement. Most projects try to patch this together with add-ons or third-party tools, but that just adds headaches: more friction, slower speeds, extra risk. Vanar Chain skips the band-aids and bakes these features right into its foundation.
PayFi is the next logical step. It’s not just payments—it’s DeFi, powered by smart, agent-driven flows. Vanar built its infrastructure for this world from the ground up. The modular Layer 1 is fast, cheap, and flexible. You get user-defined fields right inside transactions, so you can stuff invoices, contracts, compliance info—whatever you need—straight into the block itself. There’s no need to lean on outside databases or oracles.

The Neutron layer handles all your paperwork. It compresses bulky documents—property deeds, financial records, legal proofs—into neat, onchain “Seeds.” These aren’t just static files. They’re compact, searchable, and AI-ready, thanks to a mix of neural and algorithmic compression. Seeds lock in the data for good, turning anything you upload into a live, programmable asset.
Now, Kayon takes things up a notch with onchain reasoning. It’s an AI engine that reads those Seeds in real time, policing rules, checking compliance, and setting off actions as needed. Picture an agent running a tokenized asset sale: Kayon can check KYC, double-check the rules, and enforce contract terms without ever leaving the chain. Every decision gets logged and explained up front, making counterparty risk basically disappear.
Vanar’s partnership with Worldpay is a big leap for real-world use. At Abu Dhabi Finance Week, they showed off agentic payment systems where AI agents could handle transactions with built-in, institution-grade safeguards. This means you get autonomous payments that still meet the standards banks and regulators expect. Plus, with Saiprasad Raut coming in as Head of Payments Infrastructure, Vanar’s bridging crypto and traditional finance just gets stronger.

Tokenized real-world assets finally become useful here. Think fractional ownership—compliance isn’t just a box to tick, it’s ongoing. Vanar handles this with direct, onchain storage of supporting docs as Seeds, and Kayon runs the show: automating dividends, redemption, and reporting. Your assets aren’t just static tokens anymore—they’re dynamic tools that manage themselves.
Cross-chain? Covered. Vanar goes live on Base first, opening doors to bigger liquidity and more users. Developers get Vanar’s intelligence tools without moving chains. More ecosystems, more volume, more momentum on PayFi rails, all while keeping things compliant and smart.
Eco-conscious? Institutions care, and Vanar’s designed for it. Three-second blocks, one-cent fees, and micro-transactions at scale. No surprises—first-in, first-out processing means everything runs smoothly, which matters when agents need to act nonstop, no humans in the loop.
This isn’t just talk—the stack’s already live. myNeutron lets people use personal AI agents that remember context and handle onchain tasks. Actual users are already running persistent, intelligent workflows. Coming soon: Axon and Flows layers, which will bring even more automation and ready-made industry solutions, making PayFi easier to roll out.
Other chains force developers to bolt on compliance and intelligence as afterthoughts. Vanar flips that—here, payments are smart by default. Proofs live onchain, reasoning’s automatic, and you don’t have to trust a middleman. Agents finally get a platform that lets them move real money, autonomously, and stay compliant all the way.
If you want to graduate from demo agents to real economic actors, you need infrastructure that’s as good at moving money as it is at moving data. That’s what Vanar delivers—end-to-end, onchain, and only getting bigger.

Vanar Chain: The AI Powerhouse Redefining Blockchain Efficiency
@Vanarchain $VANRY #Vanar
Vanar Chain isn’t just another blockchain project—it’s built from the ground up with AI at its core. This L1 network moves fast, cranking out blocks every three seconds. Fees don’t fluctuate; every transaction costs just one cent. And if you’re coming from Ethereum, you’ll feel right at home. Vanar is EVM compatible, so deploying your existing smart contracts is a breeze. On top of all that, it runs on 100% renewable energy, offsetting any emissions to stay carbon-neutral.
What really sets Vanar apart is its AI-first design. Instead of patching AI on top of an old system, Vanar weaves it into every layer. There are five layers, each with a job: the base chain keeps things scalable; Neutron compresses and stores data like deeds or invoices into “Seeds” you can query anytime; Kayon handles on-chain reasoning and compliance; Axon automates tasks; and Flows delivers tailored industry solutions. With Neutron, you don’t just store data—you turn it into fast, verifiable units that are cheap to access.
Kayon, sitting as a Layer 3 engine, takes things further. It sifts through on-chain data, offers insights, and can trigger actions on its own—no need for oracles. This powers agent-based workflows, especially in finance and entertainment. Neutron’s persistent memory means your AI agents don’t forget what happened last session, solving a big headache for autonomous systems.
Vanar is built for real-time needs. High gas limits let you run games and payments with barely any lag. The Virtua ecosystem uses Vanar for its virtual worlds, shifting assets into VANRY. Even big gaming names are on board—Viva Games Studios is bringing Disney and Sony IP onto the chain, letting players own assets and make microtransactions.
When it comes to payments, Vanar doesn’t mess around. Its PayFi tools support agent-based payments, and a partnership with Worldpay means global settlements are smooth and compliant. Nexera’s middleware keeps everything above-board in 47 jurisdictions. This makes Vanar a solid fit for tokenizing real-world assets, even splitting up property ownership.
The numbers tell the story. Vanar’s handled nearly 194 million transactions and produced almost 9 million blocks. About 67 million VANRY are staked, with $6.94 million locked in the system. Wallets? Tens of millions—proof people actually use it for high-frequency stuff.

The tokenomics aim for long-term health. Out of a max 2.4 billion VANRY, up to 2.23 billion already circulate. Most of it—83%—goes to validators, with 13% set aside for development and 4% for the community. Revenue from subscriptions funds regular buybacks and burns, keeping the ecosystem moving.

Developers get a lot to work with. SDKs in JavaScript, Python, and Rust make integration easy. With ERC-4337 account abstraction, apps can offer simple sign-ins and in-app wallets, so new users don’t have to jump through hoops. Local testing means you can catch bugs before hitting mainnet.
Entertainment is front and center. Vanar powers metaverse platforms and apps where the blockchain stays in the background. Your preferences and history stick with you, combining Web2’s smooth experience with Web3’s security.
Recent updates show how tightly AI and blockchain can work together. myNeutron, a personal AI assistant for on-chain tasks, is set for release in late 2025. They’re also making it easy to switch between cloud and blockchain storage without losing a step.
Vanar’s not just building tools—it’s changing how AI fits into organizations. By rethinking workflows, Vanar helps companies keep knowledge and decisions persistent, making a bigger impact than just adopting the latest software. Agents can work across different models and chains and still get the job done.
This lines up with Vanar’s bigger vision: sovereign AI. Persistent memory and solid reasoning power next-level agents in industries like manufacturing and finance. The architecture is intent-first, so user needs always come through loud and clear.
At its core, Vanar treats blockchain like an operating system for AI. It manages ongoing calculations, keeps track of state, and settles up—all natively. The way tokens work is tied directly to how the system behaves, making compliance easy to follow.
Founded in 2023 with a team of 51 to 200 people, Vanar is all about real-world data and applications. Weekly updates focus on growing its intelligence layers, not just racking up transactions, as it gears up for the age of autonomous systems.
Bottom line: Vanar unlocks what AI can really do for Web3. By compressing data into Seeds and putting reasoning on-chain, it turns information into something you can prove and reuse. This isn’t just AI as a cool add-on—it’s the backbone, making finance and entertainment smarter and more efficient.
Well-stated. The tokenization of everything narrative depends on robust legal and tech rails.

Why Plasma Is Redefining Stablecoin Payments in Web3
@Plasma $XPL #plasma
Plasma is changing the way stablecoin payments work in Web3. At its core, it’s a Layer 1 blockchain built just for stablecoin settlement—fast, cheap, and dependable. With EVM support through Reth, developers can plug right in without a headache. PlasmaBFT brings sub-second finality, which means transactions pretty much settle instantly. And here’s something users love: gasless USDT transfers. No more surprise fees, just smooth payments.
The Paymaster feature takes care of gas at the protocol level, so users don’t even have to think about fees on stablecoin moves. Developers can deploy contracts using familiar tools like Hardhat and Foundry, no migration drama. On the security side, Plasma regularly anchors its state to the Bitcoin network. That keeps things neutral and makes censorship a lot harder.
But Plasma isn’t just about blockchain—it’s about connecting to the real world. Rain cards let you spend at millions of merchants. Oobit ties the network to over 100 million Visa outlets. EURØP, a euro stablecoin, follows MiCA rules, so big institutions can use it for euro payments without worrying about compliance.
The numbers speak for themselves. SyrupUSDT’s lending pool on Maple Finance has $1.1 billion locked in. That’s mostly institutional money, and it shows trust. Plasma supports more than 25 stablecoins and ranks fourth worldwide for USDT holdings, with stablecoin deposits hitting $7 billion.

Speed isn’t a problem—Plasma handles more than 1,000 transactions per second, and block times stay under a second. It’s available in over 100 countries, supports 100+ currencies, and hooks into more than 200 local payment methods.
The backing is serious: Paolo Ardoino from Tether, Scott Bessent (a nominee for U.S. Treasury Secretary), Chris Giancarlo (former CFTC Chair), and David Sacks (Crypto and AI Czar) all lend their expertise. They help steer Plasma’s strategy and keep it on track.
Plasma targets both everyday users in high-growth markets and big institutions in finance and payments. Crypto-collateralized stablecoins keep value steady through DeFi, which is a big shift from old-school fiat systems.
You get instant payments with stablecoins, and there’s a Learn Center packed with guides on global payments, savings, and how stablecoins actually work. Privacy gets top billing too, with a clear policy protecting user data.

More than 100 partnerships, especially in the MENA region, help drive fast adoption. In places where money moves quickly, Plasma fits right in. Stablecoins offer more than just a digital bank transfer—they’re faster, cheaper, and borderless.
Anchoring to Bitcoin keeps data locked down tight. Full EVM support means developers can build without breaking the bank. New builders face lower barriers, so the ecosystem keeps growing. Key uses right now? Transfers and lending—core areas in DeFi.
Compliant stablecoins like EURØP make it easy for institutions to get involved, especially for cross-border payments. For regular users, zero-gas stablecoin transfers make daily transactions painless.
Plasma consistently processes over 1,000 TPS, with blocks confirmed in under a second. The Paymaster system removes the hassle of gas fees for users, changing how people experience payments.
What sets Plasma apart? It’s all about a stablecoin-first design, direct security from Bitcoin, and a network that’s ready for both retail and institutional players.
With $1.1 billion in lending pools, support for 25+ stablecoins, and $7 billion in deposits, Plasma has earned trust at scale. Its global reach—100+ countries, 200+ payment methods—makes it easy for anyone, anywhere, to jump in.
Expert guidance from Tether’s CEO, Treasury and CFTC leaders, and crypto innovators keeps Plasma pushing forward. Retail users in fast-moving markets get instant payments, while financial institutions tap into an infrastructure that’s neutral and reliable. Crypto-backed stablecoins keep DeFi stable, even as the space evolves.
Plasma’s educational resources cut through the jargon, covering everything from CBDCs to the real benefits of stablecoins. With so much flexibility and a focus on compliance, Plasma is ready for global use.
The MENA focus takes advantage of rapid money flows, and partnerships amplify the network effect. Instant payments are the new normal for users.
Every periodic anchor to Bitcoin locks in security. EVM tools like Foundry make development easy and cheap, so the ecosystem flourishes.
On Maple, SyrupUSDT leads with $1.1 billion in TVL, proving demand is real and growing. Over 25 stablecoins integrate, with Plasma ranking fourth in USDT holdings and $7 billion in stablecoins deposited.
Coverage? Over 100 countries, 100+ currencies, and 200+ payment methods. Over 1,000 TPS, sub-second blocks, and gasless USDT transfers.
The Paymaster system delivers zero gas fees for stablecoin transactions. Rain and Oobit open up merchant access, while Visa expands reach. EURØP, under MiCA, brings euro stablecoin compliance to Europe.
Plasma’s got heavy hitters backing it—Ardoino, Bessent, Giancarlo, Sacks. It’s built for both retail and institutions, running on Reth EVM, PlasmaBFT finality, and Bitcoin-level security.
All of it puts Plasma at the front of the pack for stablecoin payments in Web3.
A key insight. An L2's value proposition hinges on its security and exit liquidity to L1.

Why Dusk Is Quietly Changing the Game in On-Chain Finance for Institutions and Everyday People
@Dusk $DUSK #Dusk
Dusk isn’t just another blockchain—it’s a Layer 1 built from the ground up for regulated finance. Privacy isn’t an afterthought here; it’s right at the center, but auditability sticks around too. Institutions get to build DeFi apps that follow the rules. Real-world assets? They move on-chain without the usual friction. The modular setup splits consensus, execution, and application layers, which makes the whole thing way more scalable. And if you’re a developer, you get to work with tools you already know.
The story starts back in 2018. Dusk set its sights on global financial markets from the beginning. Its edge? Privacy that actually meets compliance. Zero-knowledge proofs keep data under wraps. Homomorphic encryption lets you share only what’s needed. So, transactions stay private but verifiable. If a regulator needs to check something, they get access—without exposing everything. Users control their own credentials. Identity checks become decentralized, locked in as unchangeable assets.
Behind all this is the Citadel protocol, powering those zero-knowledge features. You can share certificates that prove compliance without ever revealing the actual data. No more relying on central servers either. People finally have control over their info. The Phoenix transaction model brings in nullification factors and single-use public keys, which keeps the network’s state lean. Balances and addresses stay hidden. Asset movement stays private by design, so outside tracking just doesn’t work.
The Piecrust virtual machine takes WebAssembly and makes it fly. Verifying zero-knowledge proofs happens fast—kernel-level support for the Poseidon hash speeds everything up. Even basic devices can run complex checks in a snap. The network reaches consensus using Secure Byzantine Agreement, with cryptographic randomness picking who validates blocks. There’s no forking, no waiting—finality lands right when the block is created. Digital assets settle instantly.

In the second week of January, DuskEVM goes live. This means Ethereum smart contracts can run right on Dusk’s own Layer 1. Settlements happen on-chain, regulated DeFi gets room to grow, and apps for real-world assets fit right in. The Hedger module adds privacy to the EVM, mixing zero-knowledge proofs with homomorphic encryption so transactions stay private but still auditable. Regulated finance just fits.
Hedger Alpha is already live. Institutions are actually testing confidential transfers right now. Data stays private, compliance stays solid, audits work through selective disclosure. Financial operations run smoother, and risk drops.
Looking ahead, DuskTrade is on track for 2026. It’s Dusk’s first big real-world asset application, built with NPEX—a Dutch exchange holding all the key licenses (MTF, Broker, ECSP). Over €300 million in tokenized securities move on-chain. A compliant trading platform emerges. Investments get tokenized and secure, liquidity pools aren’t split up, and access goes global.
Dusk’s ecosystem keeps growing through partnerships. Quantoz brings in €EURQ, a MiCA-compliant E-Money Token fully backed by euros. So, transparency is baked in and institutions get new use cases. NPEX adds €300 million in assets under management. Tokenized securities stay compliant. Chainlink hooks into Dusk via CCIP, with Data Streams and DataLink supporting real-world assets. Cross-chain stuff just works.
Cordial Systems delivers compliant custody. TradeOn21X brings DLT-TSS into the mix. Licensed institutions finally have a bridge to blockchain, so regulated securities actually trade on-chain. Fintech just keeps moving forward, and Dusk is right there, closing the gap between old-school and new finance.
Businesses can tap financing through smart contracts. Trades happen automatically. Expensive processes get outsourced. Institutions clear and settle payments instantly, with compliance happening in the background. Global liquidity pools open up, and users can hold institutional assets in their own wallets. Self-custody isn’t just an option—it’s the norm. Markets become more diverse and accessible to anyone.

Smart contracts turn into actual products. Tokens follow privacy rules. Global regulations get respected, and local laws fit in. Trades settle instantly. Bulletin boards provide the source of truth. No more fragmented liquidity. Custodians fade out. Access becomes universal.
Dusk opens the door to economic inclusion. Assets once reserved for big institutions now reach everyone. Privacy-first tech brings real-world assets on-chain. Traditional finance meets blockchain. Users get more control, institutions cut costs, and businesses scale up.
Dusk’s edge? Compliant on-chain markets. Tokenized money market funds and securities trade in private, with audit trails sticking around. Regulated DeFi scales. Privacy tech keeps getting sharper—seven years of refining shows. Private yet verifiable transfers become the standard.
The modular architecture adapts as needed: consensus keeps things secure, execution makes everything efficient, and the application layer pushes new ideas. Developers can stick with Ethereum tools, making the transition smooth.
Real-world adoption isn’t a hope—it’s happening. Licensed exchanges bring tokenized securities on-chain. Compliant privacy draws in institutions. DeFi evolves, but this time, it’s regulated.
Dusk is changing how financial infrastructure works. Privacy isn’t optional; it’s built-in. Compliance isn’t forced; it’s natural. And for the first time, global markets can come together on-chain.
