• Three suspects have been detained by South Korean police over a XRP investment scam worth 12.3 billion won. 
• The group is reported to have defrauded at least 3.4 million XRP by pushing fake fixed-return staking offers.
• Authorities seized some of the stolen digital currency and still cast their nets for an overseas culprit.

A crypto fraud ring that is alleged to have contacted billions of won of XRP by masquerading as an investment platform has been broken up in South Korea. The investigators suspect the operation targeted dozens of investors by exploiting the trust of the well-known blockchain projects and guaranteed monthly returns.

Police Arrest Three Over Fake XRP Investment Platform

Three suspects including two men aged 29 have already been turned over to prosecutors, Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said. A fourth suspect is currently overseas with an Interpol Red Notice and a second suspect is soon to be prosecuted.

The investigators say that they are aware that this group was running a fraudulent website from October 16 to 23, 2025. In that brief period, they allegedly recruited 71 investors for nearly 3.4 million XRP worth of 12.3 billion Korean won with monthly returns between 1.5% and 1.8%.

It is reported that the suspects even used the names of the real blockchain projects, such as Flare Network and FXRP, to make the website look legitimate.

How the Scheme Worked

Online marketing was said to be the key element of the alleged fraud, rather than direct solicitation.

Fake Guarantees Lured XRP Holders

The group advertised the platform on blogs, online articles and videos on YouTube and other networks with the slogan, “principal guaranteed, or fixed monthly returns,” investigators said. Those guarantees prompted investors to shift their XRP holdings from wallets on domestic exchanges to specific wallets on the overseas exchanges.

Upon completion of the transfers for the victims, the website was closed and investors were unable to receive their money back.

It is illustrative of a typical crypto scam. Fraudsters tend to copy legitimate blockchain projects and promise unrealistic and risk-free returns that give people a sense of security. In the dynamic realm of cryptocurrencies, reputable investments do not come with predictable returns.

Millions Frozen While Investigation Expands

Last October, police were informed of an increase in cryptocurrency-related fraud and started investigating. During the investigation, 54 search and seizure warrants were issued, and the suspected ringleader was caught after he returned back to South Korea from abroad.

Investigators also arrested additional suspects who had reportedly been hiding in different parts of the country.

Authorities Trace Larger Flow of Funds

Soon after identifying the operation, police froze approximately 17.3 billion won in virtual assets spread across overseas exchanges. But investigators estimate that at least 10 billion won already had been transferred before emergency measures took effect.

Blockchain tracing has revealed that wallets connected to the case handled roughly 27.3 billion won in cryptocurrency transactions, suggesting the total financial damage may significantly exceed the currently confirmed 12.3 billion won.

Police are still investigating the foreign man and anyone who may have helped to create or advertise the investment scheme. Police also encouraged the crypto investors to check details on the official project websites rather than social media, blogs or YouTube broadcasts with promises of guaranteed profits.

• As per the reports, Aave is planning to be phasing out 75 assets with low adoption rates and systematically liquidating deployments on six blockchain networks.
• Changes are in effect across $98.1 million of assets supplied and $15.6 million in outstanding debt to aim to simplify operations and lower protocol risk.
• The overhaul adds a more stringent risk structure, enabling Aave to concentrate on high-risk assets and active ecosystems.

Lending protocol Aave is optimizing protocol, closing off some unutilized assets and discontinuing a number of low-traffic blockchain deployments. The shift will help enhance risk management, cut maintenance expenses, and make protocols more efficient going forward.

Aave Retires Low-Usage Assets Across Multiple Networks

Aave founder Stani Kulechov announced that the protocol will deprecate 50 low-adoption asset reserves after a comprehensive review of activity across its markets. At the same time, Aave will begin an orderly wind-down of deployments on Sonic, Scroll, zkSync, Metis, Soneium, and Aptos, removing another 25 asset reserves.

The protocol is also retiring 21 matured Pendle Principal Token (PT) markets, replacing them with new maturities that better reflect current market demand.

Combined, the initiative impacts around $98.1 million in supplied assets and $15.6 million in outstanding borrowings. These markets are still only a fraction of Aave’s total value locked and still have a smaller user base, but need continuous monitoring, oracles and technical maintenance.

New Risk Framework Drives the Cleanup

Aave said the move comes after further implementation of its new Risk Framework and Technical Asset Listing Framework, which are meant to enhance the listing of new assets and the assessment of existing markets.

Low Adoption No Longer Justifies Ongoing Maintenance

Every reserve in Aave demands constant attention, particularly in maintaining price oracles, watching for canary signs, tuning parameters, and monitoring security. Those costs are not worth the benefits if a market isn’t using it for lending or borrowing.

A number of assets are being de-commissioned, for specific reasons. Bridged tokens like USDC.e and USdbC will be retired if there is a native version present. MaticX will be retired due to the project ending by the issuer and old studied Pendle PTs will expire and need to be replaced by new ones.

Aave will not close markets outright, rather, they will be phased out over time. The protocol will freeze reserves, cap new supplies and borrowings downwards until the disaster is over, and then shut down the reserves. The reserve factor would rise to 99% in reserves that had active loans, so that the liquidity providers would withdraw their money and borrowers would pay back loans over time.

Resources Shift Toward Higher-Growth Markets

Aave’s latest change underscores its strategy of focusing development efforts on more robust ecosystems rather than on idle deployments. The protocol has persisted to grow across more active blockchain networks, where the demand for and liquidity of users are far greater.

Stani Kulechov stated that Aave keeps researching new assets and deployments on an on-going basis.

• Ethereum Foundation appointed pcaversaccio to its board for a one-year voluntary term.
• The security expert strengthens the Foundation’s focus on privacy and protocol security.
• Currently, the board fills four seats, responsible for overseeing Ethereum’s long-term direction.

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) secured an additional leadership role by adding longtime contributor to the ecosystem Pascal Caversaccio (pcaversaccio) to its board. The shift is part of the Foundation’s dedication to privacy, open-source code, and network security as Ethereum is continuously thriving.

Privacy and Security Remain Core Priorities

Ethereum cypherpunks have been something that has invariably been a part of pcaversaccio’s stance. He is a member of the advisory board of the Silviculture Society, which offers informal counsel to the Foundation on topics such as censorship resistance, privacy, open-source software development, security, and more.

Board Gains a Longtime Ethereum Contributor

In addition to his technical work, pcaversaccio wrote The Ethereum Cypherpunk Manifesto (2024), a rework of Eric Hughes’ original Ethereum manifesto for Privacy, and Ethereum Privacy: The Road to Self-Sovereignty (2025). The two publications highlight user privacy, decentralized governance and self-custody in blockchain networks.

His experience will help inform Ethereum’s long-term development and ensure its core principles are maintained, the Foundation said.

Appointment Supports Ethereum’s Long-Term Strategy

The announcement comes after the Ethereum Foundation’s reinterpretation of its organizational mandate that was released earlier this year that it’s about securing the purpose of the organization and strategic direction, not daily operations, and the board will be the body responsible for that security.

The appointment also coincides with the ongoing push on protocol-level improvements in regard to security, scalability and privacy in Ethereum. In the past few months, the Foundation has made the lens of researchers shine on several topics such as privacy preserving technologies, cryptographic security, and future protocol enhancements.

The Ethereum Foundation has appointed a known security expert to its board, emphasizing that securing and shielding the decentralized tenets of Ethereum are crucial targets in their long-term goals. Building on Ethereum’s commitment to more resilient infrastructure for developers, institutions, and users around the world, the addition bolsters the Foundation’s governance with a new board member who is familiar with both technical security and community-driven development.

• Aviva Investors introduced the first tokenized fund share class on the XRP Ledger.
• The Central Bank of Ireland approved the regulated tokenized structure.
• The launch widens institutional presence of blockchain-based money market funds.

Aviva Investors has officially taken the plunge into the tokenized asset market with the launch of its US Dollar Liquidity Fund, in partnership with Ripple, on the blockchain.

This new product is a combination of a regulated money market fund and tokenization on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), which will be a significant milestone in this type of traditional investment products entering blockchain infrastructure.

Aviva Brings Its First Tokenized Fund to XRPL

Aviva Investors unveiled its first tokenized investment product – a tokenized share class in its US Dollar Liquidity Fund. The new share class trades on the XRP Ledger, but will have the same objective, liquidity, risk profile, and regulatory protections as the traditional share class.

The USD Liquidity Fund was started in 2020 to offer the highest quality of short-term debt securities in the U.S. dollar and then offer the lowest level of investment risk combined with daily investment liquidity.

New investors who are already eligible to join the fund’s currently established tokenized share class with compatible digital wallets will be able to sign up to the tokenized fund class, but will still have the underlying assets being protected by The Bank of New York Mellon.

Regulatory Approval Marks Industry Milestone

The tokenized share class received approval from the Central Bank of Ireland, which Aviva described as a regulatory first for this type of fund structure.

The launch also involves several institutional partners. Ripple provides the blockchain infrastructure through XRPL, Komainu serves as the regulated digital asset custodian, and Licuido supplies the tokenization platform that converts traditional fund shares into blockchain-based digital assets.

Aviva said the structure has been designed to operate entirely within existing regulatory frameworks, allowing tokenization without changing how the underlying portfolio is managed.

Ripple Expands Institutional Tokenization Strategy

The launch marks the ability of blockchain-native infrastructure to enable regulated financial products and not speculations on crypto assets, Ripple said.

The key factors that led to the choice of the XRP Ledger were its speed of settlement, low fees, and suitability for institutions. Ripple says XRPL has generated over 4 billion transactions since its launch in 2012, near 8 million active wallets and been maintained by over 130 independent validators.

The company thinks regulated tokenized funds have the potential to make the fund issuance, transfers and administration more efficient, while also retaining investor protections in traditional finance.

Tokenization Continues Moving Into Mainstream Finance

Aviva Investors and Ripple’s strategic partnership announced earlier this year to explore fund tokenization will be followed by the launch.

Traditional Asset Managers Accelerate Blockchain Adoption

Increasingly, asset management firms have been interested in tokenizing real-world assets, including money market funds, government-backed securities and private credit. From the financial institution perspective, tokenization may involve modernization of funds distribution, lowering settlement friction, enhanced operational efficiency and more than that without betraying on investment strategy.

Aviva Investors is deploying their first production offering in this emerging segment of the markets with the tokenized USD Liquidity Fund. The product is a testament to the fact that regulated and institutional-grade investment funds can be issued on public blockchain infrastructure, while maintaining full compliance with financial laws, which could open the door to mainstreaming tokenized investment funds in global asset managers, says Ripple.

• SBI Holdings has changed the name of its company SBI Security Solutions to SBI Digital Practice to favour on-chain finance activities through its initiative, Canton Network.
• The new company will provide blockchain solutions to the financial industry, including compliance and cross-border payments.
• Canton Network already bridges over 600 institutions, enabling over $6 trillion worth of tokenized assets.

SBI Holdings’ blockchain initiatives continue to grow and be reinforced by forming a new business unit dedicated to institutional finance. The Japanese financial giant has reorganized one of its subsidiaries to speed up the adoption of the Canton Network, marking increased confidence that tokenized financial markets are making strides into using the network.

SBI Launches Dedicated Canton Network Business

SBI Holdings announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, SBI Security Solutions Co., Ltd., officially changed its name to SBI Digital Practice Co., Ltd. on June 22, 2026. Alongside the rebranding, the company introduced a new management structure centered on developing services for the Canton Network, a blockchain built specifically for regulated financial institutions.

The transfer is part of SBI’s vision of an “on-chain finance” industry which relies increasingly on blockchain-based financial products, securities and transactions instead of traditional approaches.

In contrast to public blockchains conceived for the retail consumer, Canton Network is geared toward regulated entities which need privacy versions, regulatory compliance, and interoperability, while still enjoying the advantages that DLT offers.

Supporting Institutional Blockchain Adoption

From Infrastructure to Cross-Border Transactions

For all participating banks, asset managers and financial firms, SBI Digital Practice will deliver the entire solution for the implementation of Canton Network. It will offer planning and development of blockchain infrastructure, construction of financial applications, implementation support, and design of transaction systems with potential for cross-border and multi-currency settlements.

Since SBI was launched, it has been actively contributing to this network, even as a Super Validator, one of the key participants in the network that validates and makes sure transactions are carried out correctly. The company has also been giving due attention to incentivize institutional participation and grow the ecosystem of the network.

The new subsidiary will likely serve as SBI’s spine to enable financial institutions to adopt blockchain technology while meeting the regulatory standards of the various jurisdictions.

Canton Network Continues Expanding Institutional Reach

Canton Network has now swiftly grown to be one of the most significant traditional finance (TFin) blockchain ecosystems. SBI claims that over 600 organizations are members of the network, such as Goldman Sachs, Royal Bank of Scotland, BNP Paribas, Franklin Templeton, Broadridge and Euroclear.

As of now, over $6 trillion of assets are managed across the blockchain, and more and more institutions are embracing tokenized financial products.

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) also chose Canton Network to support digital securitization of U.S. Treasury securities in another big achievement. It also serves as an example of the ongoing integration of blockchain into the traditional financial system’s main flows.

SBI expects the demand for institutional blockchain use to keep growing as financial market participants expand their tokenization initiatives, both within the financial and investment services sectors.

The new offering does not supersede its own work on blockchain projects but rather extends SBI’s ongoing array of activations in the payments space, tokenization, stablecoins, and blockchain-based financial services.

• Ondo Finance has launched the Ondo Network, a new execution layer designed for open financial markets.
• It is a network that is both centralized and fast, as well as blockchain-like with verification and non-custodial infrastructure.
• Ondo Perps is the first use case on the network and more are planned in crypto finance.

Ondo Finance has officially unveiled the Ondo Network, marking a major evolution of its infrastructure strategy and expanding its original vision for Ondo Chain. The new network is already live and powers Ondo Perps, a perpetual futures platform launched earlier this month.

Introducing the Ondo Network, the execution layer for open financial markets, and the evolution of our vision for Ondo Chain.

Fast and private like a CEX. Verifiable like a blockchain. Non-custodial in design.

How it works:

— Ondo Finance (@Ondo) July 27, 2026

Ondo Shifts Focus from Traditional Chains to Execution Infrastructure

Instead of creating a new traditional blockchain, Ondo decided to address the greatest constraint in the modern cryptocurrency markets: execution.

The company states financial applications have most typically been saddled with a difficult harmony of pace, privacy, transparency, and decentralization. Public blockchain-based exchanges are fast but lack privacy and trusted execution, while centralized exchanges boast lower latency and trusted execution with high reliance on the users’ confidence.

The Ondo Network’s objective is to achieve the kind of separation of execution, verification and settlement that the industry has not yet seen. This way, applications run transactions much faster without compromising budget and cryptographic assurances and users’ asset control.

Read More: Ondo Brings $1.67B Tokenized Securities Boom to the U.S. With Full Onchain Voting Rights

How the Ondo Network Works

Secure Hardware Enclaves (Trusted Execution Environments) are the basis of the system, which execute applications in isolation at the fast near-centralized exchange speeds.

Instead of all network participants verifying and copying all transactions, the network has a distributed set of attestors verifying that only code they approve of is running. These attestors also perform the important security tasks and confirm interactions on the public blockchains.

Built for Speed, Privacy, and Verification

Ondo says that certain technicalities are different for execution and settlement. It is important for trading platforms to be low latency and confidential, and settlement layers to be durable and verifiable.

The network has been built to function with high performance in secure enclaves and no settlement on public networks, to maintain non-custodial ownership. The system also creates signed execution records to be independently reviewed by users and auditors to validate transactions without exposing sensitive trading information.

Ondo Perps Launches as the First Application

Ondo Perps is the Ondo Network’s first product and is a perpetual futures trading platform that aims to offer professional-grade performance without compromising on on-chain principles.

Ondo stressed the network is no longer used exclusively for derivatives trading. It will provide infrastructure for a variety of crypto-native financial products such as spot trading venues, lending protocols, structured products and tokenized asset markets.

Further, this company stated its plans to become more distributed, or decentralized, over time with expanded attestor participation, further onchain settlement capabilities, proof-of-stake security mechanisms, and more cryptographic proofs.

The launch marks a departure for Ondo from targeting blockchains as the top product. Instead, the company is focusing on essential functionality that is essential to today’s financial markets: speed, privacy, verifiability, composability and user-controlled assets.

• Hungary has lifted a requirement for the third-party validation of crypto conversions.
• The government largely claimed that the rule was incompatible with EU law and was hampering cryptocurrencies in the local market.
• CoinCash has become the first crypto company in Hungary to receive a MiCA license.

Hungary has made another significant step in an effort to bring their digital asset regulations into line with the European Union. Parliament has approved the repeal of the mandatory crypto validation system in the country, and local exchange CoinCash has gained the first Markets in Crypto Assets regulation (MiCA) license from the National Bank of Hungary.

Hungary Removes Extra Layer of Crypto Transaction Checks

A bill to abolish the requirement for cryptocurrency validity in Hungary was passed in the Hungarian Parliament by 143 votes to 46, along with a single abstention. The measure removes the requirement for the licensed third-party validators to validate some crypto-to-fiat conversion and crypto-to-crypto conversion before that can take place.

The validation framework took effect on July 1, 2025. Before the change, a compliance declaration from an authorized validator was required for the conversion of digital assets. Validators undertake the task of customer identity and wallet ownership checks as well as source of funds. It’s also added criminal penalties for unauthorized crypto exchange services and attempts made outside the authorized process.

The reason for its withdrawal was that it would not have been compatible with EU legislation, the government said. The authorities admitted that the harsher system caused trouble to the use of cryptos and crypto service providers in Hungary.

CoinCash Receives Hungary’s First MiCA Authorization

The upgrade of the regulations follows Hungary granting its first authorization based on the EU’s MiCA framework to CoinCash’s Tiwala Solutions operator.

License Opens the Door to Expanded Crypto Services

CoinCash had suspended the operation of parts of its companies during the MiCA licensing procedure. Now that it has approval, the company will resume services and slowly increase its product line within the newly harmonized European framework.

The authorization further ensures that CoinCash will have the first-mover advantage in Hungary’s regulated crypto market and will become one of the first fully MiCA-compliant platforms in the country.

Hungary Moves Closer to the EU Crypto Rulebook

The new amendments aim to align Hungary’s regulatory framework with MiCA, rather than impose any further requirements.

Users will no longer have to go through an additional validation process for eligible crypto conversions, but crypto firms will have to meet MiCa’s licensing, governance, compliance and consumer protection requirements before providing services.

The removal of the validator element and the issue of the country’s first MiCA license seem to indicate a more pragmatic regulatory strategy. It streamlines operations for crypto companies and lays the foundation for a unified legal framework for operations throughout Hungary and the EU.

• RL1 officially opened with the 10 European financial Institutions as founding members.
• The blockchain network targets tokenized assets and regulated digital finance.
• RL1 uses infrastructure that has already handled more than €700m in transactions.

Regulated Layer One (RL1) has just officially launched, marking another significant milestone in Europe’s journey towards full institutional blockchain adoption. The new scheme unites some of the largest financial institutions and banks in the region under a singular blockchain network for the regulated financial sector.

RL1 Debuts With 10 Founding Financial Institutions

RL1 opened its doors as a European Cooperative Society (SCE) with headquarters in Luxembourg on July 28. Cooperative’s initial membership comprises ABN AMRO, DekaBank, DZ BANK, Chartered Investment, Cecabank, Crédit Mutuel Alliance Fédérale, LBBW, Natixis CIB, SC Ventures and Seturion.

RL1 features cooperative governance, as opposed to privately controlled blockchain networks. Each member is given an equal vote; participating institutions can participate in network development and share the infrastructure while having input on development.

In the regulated financial sector in Europe, Henning Vollbehr, former SWIAT Managing Director, will head up the expansion of the network for the Managing Director of RL1.

Built on Infrastructure Already Tested in Production

RL1 isn’t a brand-new approach. The blockchain is based on SWIAT’s distributed ledger technology to power blockchain, which has been developed and working in real production for about three years.

Existing Network Already Processed Over €700 Million

According to the project, the underlying infrastructure has completed more than 50 institutional transactions with a combined value exceeding €700 million (around $808 million).

The platform seamlessly integrates with SWIAT’s current apps, enabling financial institutions to launch tokenized bonds, regulated digital securities registries, and other financial services using blockchain without having to rebuild their technology.

The cooperative will also expand its institutional offerings such as tokenized money, digital currency bonds, collateral management, smart derivatives and next generation settlement services.

Targeting Europe’s Growing Tokenization Market

One of the biggest pain points of institutional blockchain adoption and adoption is disorganized infrastructure, which is what RL1 tackles. Rather than having to develop and maintain their own permissioned ledger, banks can use a shared one that allows regulated users to conduct transactions over the same network and across compliance and business-as usual requirements.

As European tokenization efforts continue to move forward, the launch is particularly timely. The European Central bank’s initiatives, along with the growing use of stablecoins, tokenized money market funds and digital securities, have led to heightened demand for interoperable blockchain infrastructure which can accommodate regulated financial institutions.

RL1 said the network remains open to additional financial institutions, with discussions already underway involving several European banks, including NatWest. Meanwhile, development banks KfW and L-Bank will continue supporting the initiative during its next phase of expansion.

RL1’s ultimate goal is to offer a shared blockchain environment where Europe’s financial sector as a whole can transition from individual pilot projects to high-volume, blockchain-based financial assetization.

That gap may gradually narrow as new compliance frameworks encourage exchanges to adopt more standardized approaches to handling account and transaction information. 

Much of this shift is taking place behind the scenes, within compliance teams and back-office systems. But the ripple effects reach anyone who trades, checks balances, or compares platforms on a regular basis.

Why Crypto Exchanges Are Adopting Standardized Reporting 

A handful of overlapping rules rolled out across 2025 and 2026 are the real reason this change is happening now. Regulators in different regions realized they were all asking exchanges for nearly the same information, just formatted differently, which created unnecessary work on both sides.

How CARF, DAC8, and MiCA Are Aligning Crypto Reporting 

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development built the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), an international standard for how exchanges pass account data to tax authorities. The European Union absorbed that standard into its own tax rule, called DAC8 (the EU’s Directive on Administrative Cooperation 8), which became active in early 2026. 

Around the same period, the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation, known as MiCA, reached full enforcement. This introduced a more unified licensing and reporting framework for exchanges operating across EU member states. 

Why Consistent Reporting Standards Matter for Regulators 

Beyond tax reporting, anti-money laundering rules add another layer. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an international group that sets standards against money laundering, has pushed member countries to adopt what’s known as the Travel Rule, which requires exchanges to collect sender and receiver details on larger transfers. 

More than 80 countries have some version of this rule in place already. Standardized data formats can reduce manual verification and improve operational efficiency for exchanges and regulators, including the platforms themselves.

How Standardized Reporting Affects Everyday Crypto Users 

None of this sounds like something a trader would notice day to day, but a few practical changes are already visible for people who compare platforms often.

Why BTC Prices May Differ Across Exchanges 

One of the more common frustrations is opening two apps and seeing the BTC price show up slightly differently on each, even during a quiet market. Some of that gap comes from timing, but a chunk of it traces back to exchanges reporting and refreshing data on their own separate schedules.

As more platforms align their reporting with shared standards, that kind of formatting-driven gap should shrink. It won’t erase normal price movement between exchanges, but it does cut down on confusion that has nothing to do with actual supply and demand.

How Standardized Data Benefits Portfolio Tracking Tools 

People who track holdings across several exchanges using a single app or spreadsheet also benefit here. When platforms export data in a similar structure, those tools can pull accurate numbers faster, without needing a custom setup for every exchange added to the list.

How Crypto Exchanges Are Adapting to New Compliance Rules 

Adjusting to these frameworks takes real engineering work, not just a policy update. Exchanges have to rebuild reporting pipelines, retrain compliance teams, and in some cases, restructure how they store customer data internally.

Examples of Exchanges Updating Their Compliance Systems 

Some exchanges are further along than others on this front. Some crypto exchanges, including BTCC, have obtained licenses across multiple jurisdictions, including FinCEN in the United States, FINTRAC in Canada, and Lithuania’s FCIS for EU operations. 

Why Compliance Adoption Varies Across Exchanges 

Not every exchange is moving at the same pace. Smaller platforms with fewer resources often lean on third-party compliance vendors to help them meet these requirements without building everything from scratch, which is part of why the transition looks gradual rather than instant across the board.

What Standardized Reporting Means for the Crypto Industry 

Standardized reporting won’t change how buying or selling crypto actually works, but it does chip away at one of the industry’s longer-running complaints: inconsistent, hard-to-compare data between platforms. As more exchanges settle into these shared frameworks, comparing information across exchanges may become more consistent as reporting standards mature and more like checking the same market from two windows.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF)? 

It’s an international reporting standard, built by the OECD, that sets out how exchanges share account and transaction data with tax authorities.

How is MiCA different from earlier EU crypto rules? 

MiCA replaces a mix of national rules with one licensing and reporting system that applies across all EU member states.

What does the Travel Rule require from exchanges? 

It requires platforms to collect and share sender and receiver information for transfers above a set amount, based on FATF guidance.

Will these changes slow down trade execution? 

No. These updates mainly affect reporting and compliance systems, not the speed of placing or settling trades.

Do these frameworks apply to every exchange worldwide? 

Not uniformly. Requirements depend on where an exchange operates and which customers it serves, though many platforms are aligning voluntarily to stay competitive across markets.

• XAU₮ has been officially certified as Sharia Compliant by Amanah Advisors, the gold backed token of Tether.
• Approvals for Islamic banks, institutions and investors to access compliant digital gold.
• XAU₮ is built on a blockchain and backed by 100% physical gold held in Swiss vaults.

Tether has once again made a move towards the development of real-world asset-backed tokens with XAU₮, its gold-backed, officially Sharia-compliant digital asset. With the milestone bringing the token to a market that is one of the fastest-growing in the financial world, it also guarantees physical gold backing.

Tether Secures Shariah Certification for XAU₮

Tether has said that XAU₮ has become a Sharia-compliant asset, having been certified by Amanah Advisors, headed by Mufti Faraz Adam, an Islamic finance advisory firm. It validates the token’s adherence to Islamic financial principles, which enables Muslims to achieve a digital exposure to physical gold without breaking Shariah rules.

Every XAU₮ token is representative of 1 troy ounce of actual gold preserved in secure vaults in Switzerland. Unlike the synthetic product, the token is supported by allocated bullion with serial numbers which can be exchanged for bullion gold when specified in the terms laid down by the platform.

The certification confirms multiple important aspects of Tether’s operations, including actual ownership of physical gold, the transparency of reserves, that there is no interest-based structure (riba) and that there are no interest-based operations or speculative derivatives.

Expanding Digital Gold Across Islamic Finance

While Islamic finance is a multi-trillion dollar industry, few blockchain products have fully met the code and ethics for Islamic finance. That’s what Tether is looking to achieve with its Shariah certification, and to increase the use of blockchain in traditional finance.

New Opportunities for Banks and Institutions

XAU₮ will be able to facilitate various institutional applications of Islamic Banking, Islamic savings, takaful insurance, collateral management, tokenised trade financing and long term wealth preservation strategies.

Whereas XAU₮ will offer a proxy of the gold blockchain, it will not create indirect exposure to the gold asset. This is a practice involving the use of digital assets combined with one of the oldest forms of value-storing assets in human history.

Tether also confirmed that Amanah Advisors will continue working with the company to develop governance standards and practical guidelines supporting broader adoption, including secondary market transactions.

Blockchain Meets a Growing Global Market

Tether says certification will help advance XAU₮ adoption within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), South Asia, and other parts of Africa and financial centers that are proactive in Islamic finance.

The expansion is also symbolic of the wider tokenisation of real world assets. Financial institutions are becoming more keen on the blockchain infrastructure, and due to the provision of transparency, faster settlement cycles, and access across every global market, tokenized commodity assets like gold are being considered.

Robinhood Unveils Ventures Fund II Roadshow

The Robinhood Ventures Fund II (RVII) Roadshow will kick off August 3 at 12:00 PM ET on the Robinhood app and via the company’s YouTube channel. The move comes as part of its overall efforts to provide investors with access to companies at an earlier point in their growth, according to Robinhood.

Join Robinhood’s presentation in a way that isn’t traditional for IPOs, which is mostly for institutional investors. It is believed to feature top officials within the company talking about the new investment strategy, portfolio plan and vision for the new venture fund.

RVII Focuses on High-Growth Y Combinator Companies

Robinhood Ventures Fund II will specialize in investing in pre-IPO or early-to-growth stage private businesses, including those that are supported by Y Combinator or those founded by Y Combinator alumni.

Expanding Access to Private Markets

Public markets were the last to be the first to evaluate many of today’s biggest technology firms, who were first to be assessed years ago in the private sector. Robinhood claims RVII is meant to fill in that void, providing exposure to investors who qualify to participate before a standard IPO.

The strategy aligns with the trend of greater need for private-market investments, as go-go tech companies tend to monopolize the private markets and are raising significant funds via institutional markets.

Stretching from its stock trading roots to cryptocurrencies, prediction markets, wealth management services and private investing, Robinhood has been steadily diversifying. The new fund marks another expansion of the platform’s investment line, which currently includes only stocks and bonds.

Registration Process Still Underway

Robinhood emphasized that RVII has filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), but the filing has not yet become effective.

As a result, the company is prohibited from redeeming shares of the fund, or taking in investments, to date. Future offers will only be made via the official prospectus, which explains the goals of the fund, expenses, risks and how the fund operates.

Retail Investors Receive Early Access to Information

The fund is still in the registration period, which means that potential investors can now have first-hand information of RVII prior to the offering.

The potential investors also have to think carefully about the prospectus after it comes into effect, since investing in the private market entails different risks such as illiquidity, valuation uncertainties and long time horizons, Robinhood said.

In launching RVII, Robinhood continues to innovate and expand access to asset classes traditionally reserved for large investors or institutions, while also ensuring adherence to U.S. securities regulations throughout the full life cycle of the offering.

• Exploits discovered by WEMIX resulted in the minting of more than 5.22 million WEMIX$.
• The attacker swapped the assets for 724,198 USDC.e prior to transferring assets between multiple blockchains.
• The network shutdown bridges, liquidity pools, and other important services, and also had to work with exchanges to freeze assets.

On July 26, WEMIX announced a significant security incident that occurred within its WEMIX$ stablecoin system. The blockchain team has already implemented emergency measures and investigators are following the funds and the cause of the attack.

WEMIX Investigates Unauthorized WEMIX$ Minting

An official statement says that the said abnormal transactions started at 18:17 (UTC+9) on 26th July 2026. Initial analysis has shown that an attacker has taken control of one of the contracts linked to WEMIX$ and minted additional tokens.

The investigation has uncovered that another around 5,225,525 WEMIX was minted illegally. Then the attacker swapped the newly minted tokens for 30,736 WEMIX and approximately 724,198.27 USDC.e.

The $USDC.e was then bounced from the WEMIX blockchain to both Ethereum and BNB SmartChain (BSC) to be sold for assets such as ETH and USDT. Additionally, investigators authenticated that some of the funds made it to the centralized cryptocurrency exchanges.

WEMIX indicated that these are still preliminary and may be revised within the course of on-going forensic processing.

Emergency Measures Rolled Out Across the Ecosystem

WEMIX promptly turned on several emergency protections throughout its blockchain ecosystem to halt the event.

Bridges, Liquidity Pools, and Services Suspended

The temporary suspension of all the bridges linked to WEMIX3.0, such as the Chainlink CCIP and PLAY Bridge, further supports the prevention of further unauthorized transfers.

The foundation also temporarily suspended trading across all affected liquidity pools, including WEMIX-USDC.e, WEMIX-WEMIX$, CROW-WEMIX$, TIPO-WEMIX$, and PLAY-WEMIX$, while immediately withdrawing its own liquidity from those pools to help contain the incident and reduce further risk. 

In addition, liquidity supplied by the WEMIX Foundation was withdrawn from the affected pools.

Several ecosystem services were also temporarily disabled, including the WEMIX$ Module, PNIX DEX, and supporting backend infrastructure. NFT marketplace trading, bidding functions, and selected blockchain features integrated into games were also restricted while security reviews were completed.

Asset Recovery Efforts Underway

WEMIX said it has already identified the attacker’s wallet addresses and is actively monitoring fund movements across multiple blockchains.

Exchanges Begin Freezing Suspicious Assets

To date, the foundation has issued requests to several cryptocurrency exchanges and stablecoin issuers to place an asset freeze and cooperate in an investigation. As per this latest update, a few exchanges have already frozen addresses linked to the attacker.

In addition, efforts are underway to recover the compromised contract, complete an audit on that contract, and evaluate variants thereof that are currently being developed elsewhere. His primary objective was to find out how the attacker got this contract, and if there are more in the system.

Services are partly suspended, but preserving user assets and restoring the security of the ecosystem is WEMIX’s top priority, the company said. Additional announcements will give details of the findings, recovery and long-term security enhancements as the investigation progresses, the company said.

• Storj has made an informed decision to file for Chapter 11 to restructure its legacy liabilities without halting business as usual.
• During the process, the decentralized storage network, the customers’ services and the token’s usefulness are not affected.
• The company intends to reshape future ownership between management, token holders, investors and its decentralized community.

It’s a new decade after ten years and a new chapter in the story of Storj. A decentralized cloud storage company has filed for Chapter 11 to restructure its balance sheet but continue its services, and is working toward a future of growth.

Storj Begins Financial Restructuring

Storj Labs states that it has sought voluntary Chapter 11 protection in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of West Virginia. The restructuring, the company says, is to clear up old financial liabilities that had built up prior to the development of its current direction.

Storj said that its core operations are not impacted by the filing. Users will still be able to use the decentralized storage system without any interruptions to services, and customers’ contractual obligations will remain fulfilled during the proceedings before the court.

Management called the restructuring a “financial reset” and not an indicator of operational problems.

Ownership Model Could Expand Beyond Traditional Investors

Token Holders May Participate in the Restructured Company

Perhaps the most interesting part of Storj’s announcement is that it plans to create a wider ownership base following restructuring.

The company outlined that its long-term goal is to share ownership in the decentralized management, with community and among STORJ token holders. While no final mechanism has been announced, any proposal would require approval through the Chapter 11 process before becoming effective.

Parent Company Continues Supporting Storj

Storj said its parent firm Inveniam is still dedicated to helping the company in the restructuring process.

With the acquisition of Storj, Inveniam has directed the company to focus on its core decentralized storage business, selling non-core entities and previous acquisitions.

That will be the approach in chapter 11, where management can concentrate on enterprise cloud storage and decentralized infrastructure. The restructuring process will “streamline” operations and give the company a firmer financial footing for growth, said the company’s leadership.

Crypto Infrastructure Firms Continue Reshaping Business Models

Storj is among several blockchain infrastructure firms restructuring corporate in anticipation of the digital asset industry going mainstream. Instead the company is opting to restructure its decentralised network through a legal process in order to manage past debt without interrupting current operations.

The announcement also comes amidst a wider pattern among cryptocurrency infrastructure vendors that will put on more sustainable scalable models, enterprise demand, and capital allocations.

But the current focus for Storj is to keep the services running and finalise the financial restructuring, as it aims to create a governance framework more aligned with the project’s decentralised origins.

• The company raised its USD funds balance by $525 million or $3.75 billion, as high as ever before and it is the biggest amongst other banks.
• The cash on hand now provides for about 2.1 years of preferred dividend and debt interest required.
• The company maintained its position in Bitcoin at 843,775, and executed its first STRC preferred stock buyback.

Without acquiring additional Bitcoins, Strategy has bolstered its financial standing. The company’s capital management strategy was to maintain existing cash in BTC by shunning the expansion of holdings and by looking to its dividend policy and discounted preferred shares.

Strategy Raises Cash Reserve to Record $3.75 Billion

Strategy announced it has added $525 million to its USD Reserve, bringing the total to an all-time high of $3.75 billion. According to the company, the reserve is now sufficient to cover approximately 25 months, or 2.1 years, of expected preferred stock dividend payments and interest obligations.

Strategy has increased its USD Reserve by $525 million, achieving 2.1 years of dividend coverage. As of 7/26/2026, we hodl ₿843,775 in our BTC Reserve and $3.75 billion in our USD Reserve. $MSTR $STRC https://t.co/FASxJUHTkN

— Strategy (@Strategy) July 27, 2026

The additional capital came from the company’s at-the-market (ATM) equity program. Between July 20 and July 26, Strategy sold 5,429,160 MSTR shares, generating approximately $544.5 million in net proceeds. No preferred shares were issued during the reporting period.

The company pointed out that the policy for payments of dividends and debt service by the USD Reserve is approved by the company’s board of directors. It does not have permission to repurchase shares.

Bitcoin Holdings Remain Unchanged

Although Strategy is still the largest corporate Bitcoin owner, it didn’t buy another BTC in the last report week.

The company’s reserves of Bitcoin also stand at 843,775; the firm’s strong cash reserves were highlighted by the latest filing with SEC, highlighting its capital strength and longer-term Bitcoin strategy.

Capital Allocation Prioritizes Financial Flexibility

Instead, Strategy is allocating new funds to liquidity and flexibility in his investment mix, rather than new Bitcoin applications.

The increased cash cushion equates to further right of protection for preferred shareholders and increases the margin of maneuverability for management to manage the market. The company also said in its statement it plans to increase the company’s size over time with more equity financing and, if market conditions permit, other financing methods.

STRC Buyback Program Begins

Company Repurchases Discounted Preferred Shares

Strategy also revealed the first purchases made in its Digital Credit Securities Repurchase Program, which amounted to the repurchase of 288,930 STRC preferred shares for approximately $25 million, or $86.52 per share, on average.

Management said it will be a disciplined buyer until STRC trades meaningfully below $100, its stated value. Typically, repurchases rise as the discount gap becomes larger, and then taper over time as share prices get closer to par.

There’s about $975 million still left in the repurchase program, the company said. Finally, Management reiterated its plans to recommend maintaining the current annual dividend rate of 12%, when the preferred shares are trading near and around their target price.

A highlight here of Strategy focuses on its current priorities as it balances its industry-leading Bitcoin treasury with better liquidity management, disciplined capital allocation, and continued support of its preferred securities investors.

• The Bankr X account was spoofed to promote fraudulent airdrop links to users.
• Security fears are emerging due to the fact that an on-device passkey was supposed to protect this account but failed to do so.
• After the incident, the $BNKR token experienced selling pressure as the team addressed the malicious messages from X and conducted an investigation.

Theoretically, Bankr’s official X was breached and malicious links to fake airdrops were sent. The attack gained widespread attention in the crypto community, particularly given the account’s likely securing with a passkey, not a conventional password.

The incident also had $BNKR token owners alarmed, who saw a significant drop in the token after their attention was drawn to people posting content without his permission.

Bankr Confirms X Account Compromise

According to statements shared by Bankr developer deployer, the team lost control of the @bankrbot X account after attackers gained access and began publishing fraudulent airdrop promotions.

???? the @bankrbot X account has been compromised and is publishing fake airdrop links despite being secured with an on-device passkey.@X @nikitabier please remove the the fake airdrop posts and help us determine how this account was compromised even with a passkey. https://t.co/s0G3LqP3DY

— deployer (@0xDeployer) July 25, 2026

The developer publicly appealed to X and X executives Nikita Bier, asking them to remove the malicious content and help in figuring out how the breach took place.

Before confirming the compromise, the team had already reported being locked out of the account and unable to regain access through standard recovery methods. A few days later, fake airdrop messages started appearing on the profile once again, leading to confusion on users who thought it was legitimate.

Fake Airdrops Trigger Security Fears

With the majority of airdrop-related attacks, one of the most prevalent is the fraudulent airdrop scheme. Often scammers will take control of legitimate social media accounts to send links – it is here that hackers can extract wallet credentials, purloin funds or lead to the signing of malicious transactions.

Users Advised to Strengthen Account Protection

After the breach, Bankr developers encouraged consumers to turn on multi-factor authentication (MFA) in their Bankr accounts. Based on this, the team said that depending only on security options from the social media platforms may not be enough to secure crypto-related assets.

The alert is part of a rising trend in the industry. Session hijacking, insider compromises, phishing attacks, third-party integration or platform weaknesses can all allow an even legitimate account with stringent authentication elements to be targeted.

$BNKR Faces Market Pressure

The security incident rapidly flowed into the market. The uncertainty around the hacked account caused an increased volatility with the $BNKR token.

Although the compromise only seems to be with Bankr’s X account and not the system it is using, crypto markets react intently to any headline pertaining to security. Investors are often displayed first and wait for more information later, specifically when the fake token giveaways or phishing campaigns are concerned.

So far, the team has not disclosed any incident of user fund, wallet, protocol infrastructure compromise, thus far upon filing this announcement. But users are being advised to stay away from any airdrop links that were previously shared by the hacked channel and to check information from authentic communication banks.

• On 26th August 2026, BitMart will end all trading functions and on 31st January 2027, cease all platform services.
• The exchange has already halted fresh trades, deposits, and new users registering, as it is urging members to redeem the money as soon as possible.
• As part of a strategic business review, the closure comes as part of a new wave of crypto exchanges leaving the market in 2026.

After running for almost ten years, BitMart crypto exchange has announced the formal shutdown of its trading platform. It is also the latest in 2026’s massive exchange swaps and follows BitMEX’s own exit announcement.

Important Notice

After a careful evaluation of the Company’s operating conditions, market environment, and future strategic direction, BitMart has made the difficult decision to commence an orderly wind-down of its trading platform operations. We deeply regret having to make… pic.twitter.com/KX3zczIrAh

— BitMart (@BitMartExchange) July 26, 2026

BitMart Begins Multi-Stage Shutdown Process

The move has come after it has assessed its operating conditions, market environment and its long-term strategic direction, the exchange said.

After 26 July 2026, BitMart launched a ban on the registration of new users, crypto and fiat deposit and registration of new trading orders. Futures have gone to reduce only mode and spot markets no longer take new orders.

On August 26, 2026, the company stated that all its trading services, including Spot and Derivatives, would be phased out. Users who still hold open futures positions after that deadline could see them settled by the platform under applicable settlement rules.

BitMart will officially decommission its platform on Jan. 31st, 2027. However, withdrawal services will continue to be available beyond this date.

Users Urged to Withdraw Assets Early

BitMart repeatedly emphasized that users should not wait until the final deadline to move funds. The exchange urged its users to withdraw assets and cancel all open orders as early as possible before closing the trading positions.

Additional Compliance Reviews May Apply

Some withdrawals may be required to undergo further verification, BitMart said. Such reviews might involve KYC checking, verification of sources of funds, sanctions screening, compliance of the Travel Rule, determination of wallet owners and transaction risk analysis.

The company also said that processing times could be lengthened during peak withdrawals during the wind down phase. Users are advised to check the account details and withdrawal details before making requests for the prevention of delays.

Another Major Exchange Leaves the Market

BitMart established itself in 2017 and evolved into a worldwide-known cryptocurrency trade that has consumers in a lot of jurisdictions. In the past, the platform was notorious for its massive amount of token listings, futures trading, staking, and launch pad.

The closure highlights how competitive the centralized exchange sector has become. The volume of trading is mostly being dominated by a few mainstream platforms and mid-sized ones face difficulty in holding the market share and liquidity.

BitMart didn’t give any specific financial information regarding the development. Instead, management provided a mix of reasons based on business conditions, market factors and future strategic considerations.

The announcement comes amid a time of consolidation in the crypto sector. In response to regulatory changes and growing competition, several exchanges have shrunk in size, merged or shut down specific markets.

The primary focus of the users is simple: close the positions, secure access to their account, meet the verification procedures, and withdraw assets before the trading cutoff in August. Although BitMart has promised a process that would be orderly and transparent, the exchange has stated that it is best to take quick action during this platform’s last months of operation.

• Robinhood Chain made headlines for its achievement of becoming the fastest EVM based network to reach 100M+ transactions.
• Transacting around 147 million transactions over the initial 85 days, the network is charging ahead of its rivals.
• During similar public soft caps, Base, zkSync, BSC, Linea, and Mantle had much fewer transactions overall.

Few blockchain networks can claim to have achieved such a milestone in such a short period of time as Robinhood Chain. Early activity across the network has been exceptionally high, thanks in part to having the world’s fastest EVM-compatible chain cross the 100 million transaction mark, according to data shared by Robinhood CEO and Co-Founder Vlad Tenev.

Robinhood Chain Dominates Early Transaction Growth

The first 85 days after launch compared to other major blockchain networks indicates that Robinhood Chain stands out from the pack.

The network handled a margin more than seven times greater than Base did, with approximately 147 million cumulative transactions. The number of transactions topped by Base was about 20 million, followed by zkSync with 13 million and BSC with 11 million. Linea took care of about 10 million transactions, while Mantle did the same for approximately 10 million transactions.

The difference becomes even more noticeable when compared with earlier generations of blockchain infrastructure. Arbitrum and Polygon handled approximately 221,000 transactions and 53,000 transactions respectively while Ethereum had approximately 457,000 transactions within the first 85 days.

These figures put Robinhood Chain ahead of other EVM launches.

A New Challenger in the EVM Ecosystem

Robinhood Chain’s launching took place under a well-known and established financial technology brand as opposed to many others that are spending years building awareness and attracting users. Network activity and uptake seem to have picked up even from the beginning.

The milestone also coincides with the increased competition in the EVM networks. Capital is still flowing in and out, while developers and users persist in swarming around chains looking for the best ecosystem and cheaper, faster trips.

More Than Just a Transaction Record

Though it does not mean that you’re making more transactions, it can certainly be a sign of the network’s initial usage and engagement.

Robinhood Chain’s achievement of surpassing the 100M transaction mark within three months is an indicator that it has indeed generated significant on-chain activity at a pace uncommon among EVM compatible networks. During the same time frame, the total number of transactions is nearing 147 million, a further blow to the market narrative.

• Gemini donated more than $10 million dollars in Bitcoin to the pro-Trump MAGA Inc. PAC.
• The gift was revealed in recently public records filed by the Federal Election Commission.
• The transfer follows an active CFTC lawsuit against Gemini that is still going through the court.

The latest records released by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) reveal a crypto exchange named Gemini had one of the largest reported political donations and sent over $10 million worth of Bitcoin to Super Pac, MAGA Inc., which backs President Donald Trump’s re-election to office in the United States.

Gemini Reports Multi-Million Dollar Bitcoin Transfers

Official FEC records for Committee: MAGA INC., generated on July 23, 2026, show Gemini Trust Company recorded multiple Bitcoin transfers on June 19. The filing includes two transactions worth roughly $5 million each, along with several smaller transfers, bringing the reported total to more than $10 million.

The transactions were identified as non-contributions and meant that the Bitcoin had been sent to an unknown buyer via Gemini. Values were converted to dollars, in accordance with standard FEC policy requirements.

The transfer’s size soon became apparent, leaving even crypto’s own advocates stumped for words when trying to explain the growing involvement in political funds.

Crypto Donations Continue Growing

Super PACs are not limited in how many contributions they can accept, so they represent an appealing form of many individual and corporate donations for conducting independent political activity.

Bitcoin Becomes a Political Funding Tool

Gemini’s most recent donation is one of the largest public crypto transfers in U.S. elections thus far. In the ongoing evolution of digital assets’ acceptance, more crypto companies and notable representatives are becoming involved with policy discussion related to stablecoins, market structure regulation, and further blockchain legislation.

In addition, the filing indicates that MAGA Inc. had collected almost $400 million by June 30, with the Bitcoin contribution from Gemini being one of the largest cryptocurrency donations received.

Donation Coincides With Ongoing Legal Review

The announcement occurs as Gemini continues to have an unresolved legal issue with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

Earlier this year, Gemini and the CFTC both requested reconsideration of the previous settlement from a federal court in the matter of allegations the exchange made in an earlier investigation. A public decision has yet to be issued by the court.

No evidence of any bitcoin donation having a connection with the legal proceedings, nor is there any connection between them and the FEC filing or the accompanying note from Gemini.

Nevertheless, the time has garnered more public scrutiny as U.S. politicians keep debating impending significant crypto legislation which might significantly alter digital asset oversight. The recent disclosure was a testament to the ongoing evolution of Bitcoin beyond investment spaces into the political arena and campaign finance.

• Ripple has introduced Ripple Mint, a solution for institutional RLUSD management.
• Stablecoins can be conducted both as an UI and an API based platform.
• RLUSD is growing on several blockchains to enhance institutional liquidity.

Ripple has launched a novel platform called Ripple Mint to make institutional access and management of its RLUSD stablecoin easier. The launch marks Ripple’s investment and ambition to help develop regulated digital dollars that are more easily adopted by enterprises for payment, treasury and liquidity solutions, while also scaling RLUSD activity on a multi-blockchain basis.

Built for scale with both UI and API access, Ripple Mint gives institutions the flexibility to automate stablecoin operations, integrate RLUSD into existing systems, and manage…

— Ripple (@Ripple) July 23, 2026

Ripple Launches Ripple Mint for Institutional RLUSD Operations

Ripple Mint brings together stable coin management, redemption, liquidity management, and cross-chain transfers in an easy-to-use platform engineered for institutions. Current RLUSD customers will be able to start using the service without delay.

There are two methods to engage with RLUSD via the platform. It can be operated either in a web application or be fully integrated into the institution’s own system via APIs. In this dual-access design, companies can automate stablecoin workflows and gain control over operations, providing flexible use.

Traditional manual minting and redeeming takes place as well as providing the ability to bridge assets across supported chains, real-time status checks, and integrating digital dollar processes into existing treasury or payment systems.

Automation Becomes a Core Feature

To decrease the manual interference, Ripple launched new APIs and webhook notifications as well.

Now institutions can access account balances programatically, see all elements of minting and redemption, and receive real-time updates for all events such as fiat settlement, onchain transfers, and payout completion.

Standardized reference IDs for each transaction ease reconciliation and provide enterprises with full visibility along the payment lifecycle across fiat and blockchain payment flows.

Ripple said that the features are targeted toward exchanges, fintech firms, market makers, payment firms and other institutional members seeking scalable stablecoin capabilities.

RLUSD Expands Across Multiple Blockchain Ecosystems

Ripple will also be doing more to accelerate MLB’s multichain system. RLUSD was initially launched on XRP Ledger and Ethereum, and is moving onto the XRPL EVM Sidechain, Base, Optimism, Ink, and Unichain.

Ripple emphasized that the XRPL EVM Sidechain holds a crucial position, encompassing both the EVM compatibility and near-integration to the XRP Ledger ecosystem. This will enable developers to work with familiar Ethereum tools while maintaining a liquid experience on XRPL.

Ripple Positions RLUSD for the Next Phase of Stablecoin Growth

Built Around Enterprise Infrastructure

RLUSD is issued by Standard Custody & Trust Company, a trust company chartered by New York Department of Financial Services, ensuring regulatory oversight that many institutional clients need, Ripple said.

The company thinks it’s shifting from being a payment service to becoming one of the fundamental pillars of financial fundamentals for trading, treasury business, cross-border settlement, and tokenization.

With regulated issuance, programmable APIs, multi-chain availability and enterprise grade automation, Ripple is putting RLUSD in a good position to meet the needs of institutional finance at scale. As adoption increases among supported blockchain networks, the company believes that as RLUSD and XRP expand their utility across the liquidity provision, settlement, collateral management, swaps and payment applications, they will complement each other.

• Poolin has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S., representing about 20% of Bitcoin’s global hashrate.
• Prepetition obligations totaled about $173.1 million of which around $163.7 million is tied to IOUs issued to customers since the freeze on wallet withdrawals in 2022.
• Poolin will sell the mining assets in Texas under a $52 million stalking-horse sale.

Poolin’s bankruptcy filing marks the end of one of the most tumultuous chapters in the history of crypto mining. After years of losses, liquidity problems and a failed expansion, the company, once one of the most influential, is now asking for court-supervised selling off of assets.

Poolin Seeks Chapter 11 Protection after Years of Decline

The Singapore-based Poolin Technology and its U.S. subsidiaries have sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey. The restructuring is being primarily made to enable the company to sell its remaining mining assets, as opposed to continuing with its normal activities, court documents indicate.

The proposed transaction involves two West Texas mining properties and Thor CALAP LLC is a stalking-horse bidder. The original offer values the assets at $52 million, which sets up a minimum price but can be bumped up later in the bankruptcy proceeding. It is reported that operations have supposedly stopped at both facilities earlier this month as Poolin continues to prepare for winding up operations.

The table of liabilities on Poolin’s bankruptcy paperwork is in the ballpark of $100 Million to $500 Million and listed assets are considerably lower. Between 10,001 and 25,000 creditors are reportedly involved in the filing, illustrating the company’s size and financial needs.

Frozen Wallets Continue to Define Poolin’s Financial Burden

The Poinings debt is not from mining but from its wallet. In September 2022, when the crypto market experienced a significant downturn, the company paused withdrawals due to liquidity issues in the wake of the broader market crash.

Rather than refunding user deposits, Poolin gave them unsecured IOUs for the money that they had locked up. The debts owed to customers now represent about $163.7 million of the firm’s estimated debt of $173.1 million, according to restructuring documents, putting the claims of customers at the forefront of the bankruptcy process.

From Mining Leader to Bankruptcy Court

Since launching in 2017, Poolin has exploded in growth, as industrial Bitcoin mining has expanded, and at its peak had approximately 20% of the network’s hashrate. It was founded by former Bitmain executives, and during the previous cycle of Bitcoin growth, it has become one of the world’s largest mining pools.

But in the next few years, the industry took a dramatic turn. China’s Crypto mining ban pushed the top operators to overseas locations and the extended bear market, dwindling mining profit, and the increase in infrastructure expenses added strain to mining operations.

Poolin also put large capital into the mining of Texas, and expected significant higher allocations than received. The mismatch resulted in the company having over-ordered mining equipment, and asset sales at reduced prices during the time while the Texas operations continued to lose money and at a later time were closed.

Why Micropayments Struggled

The European Central Bank has noted, “some stablecoin initiatives are attempting to address the issue of micropayments” in a report entitled, “A big future for small payments?”. The ECB recalled that the concept of micropayments has existed since at least 1960, before the internet provided a boost in interest. While micropayments were discussed for years, the old models had awkward economics and clumsy user experiences. 

The ECB paper points out that many earlier attempts failed because users faced too much friction, platforms were fragmented, and transaction costs were high for very small amounts. The idea made sense on paper, but the payment flow didn’t feel worth it for small values being exchanged.

Blockchain helps by changing how settlement works. Stripe describes blockchain-based payments as useful for improving settlement, reconciliation, and recordkeeping, which removes some of the back-office work that slows down traditional payments. Instead of relying on several intermediaries for every transfer, blockchain systems quickly move value across a shared ledger. 

Blockchain

The original Lightning paper described a network of micropayment channels that lets people send transactions outside the main chain and settle later, which gives the system speed and lower cost. That’s well suited to tiny, repeated payments where recording every single transfer on the base blockchain would be too slow and expensive.

With micropayments, a reader could pay for one article, a gamer could unlock a new clothing item or vehicle, or a platform could control access by the second rather than trying to force a year’s subscription. Researchers have also explored Lightning-based micropayments for Q&A and knowledge markets, where small payments can reward useful answers and content without requiring a minimum payment threshold. Ellis Solaiman and Jorge Robins wrote in a 2024 paper that recent advancements (including the Lightning Network) foster an Internet of Value where transferring small amounts can be as simple as sharing data. 

Use Cases

The ECB also gives the example of internet access offered in public places like airports, where people sometimes pay extortionate fees for WiFi hotspot access, even though they’re only using the service for a few seconds to read emails or send messages to friends and colleagues.

Gaming is another good fit. The ECB highlights gaming as an industry where micropayments already play a part, since gamers often pay for small digital items or short-lived features. Blockchain supports that by making payments quicker and less intrusive – especially useful for gamers in different countries who need smooth cross-border payments. Crypto is also already widely used in other gaming contexts: in iGaming, casino review sites highlight the platforms accepting crypto that are licensed, offer a wide game selection, and provide quality customer service.

Micropayments are also suited to automated systems. The ECB notes that machine-to-machine (MSM) payments allow internet of things (IoT) devices to interact and communicate, and suggests they are “likely candidates” to impact the payment industry.

What Gets In The Way

People need wallets that are easy to understand, merchants need stable pricing, and businesses need clear compliance and accounting processes. Volatility is another concern, which is why many payment discussions now involve stablecoins or other assets designed to reduce price swings.

Public blockchains can be slow and costly for lots of tiny payments, so micropayment systems often move those transactions into off-chain channels. A simple example is a payment channel that lets two people send many small transfers back and forth, then settle the final balance later on the main chain. Another example is the Lightning Network using payment channels to move value quickly without recording every tiny transaction on the base layer.

These systems still depend on the underlying blockchain for final settlement, but they avoid putting every small payment directly on the main network. (Avoiding putting every small payment on the main network is good because it keeps the base chain from getting clogged, which helps fees stay lower and transactions confirm faster for everyone.)

The challenge for blockchain systems is hiding enough of the complexity that the system feels simple, while keeping settlement, routing, and security reliable enough – and understandable enough – for people to trust it.

• BNY Mellon has implemented a plan to settle U.S. Treasuries 24/7 by 2027.
• Ripple’s RLUSD is ideally suited for always-on institutional payments.
• Tokenized Treasuries are becoming a key bridge between crypto and traditional finance.

Financial services are progressing towards crypto’s around-the-clock approach. The BNY Mellon latest roadmap for tokenized U.S. Treasuries is a glimpse into the dawn of a brand new paradigm of blockchain infrastructure and regulated stablecoins completely changing institutional channels.

BNY Mellon Targets 24/7 Treasury Settlement

BNY Mellon has announced intentions to make it possible for settlement of traditional financial assets, including U.S. Treasury securities, to happen at any time of day.

The bank plans to roll out tokenized Treasury products and get to the pilot level of transactions on its private blockchain by the end of 2026, according to a client letter. The vision is to enable a continuous settlement for both Treasuries and tokenized Treasuries in 2027.

Early steps have been taken with the bank at this stage in direction of that vision. This year, BNY Mellon was instrumental in an after-hours Treasury transaction between BNY Mellon and two stablecoin issuers, to increase market activity outside typical trading hours.

It responds to a rising institutional demand for timely settlement, more liquid markets and a choice of 24/7 settlement opportunities without the limitations of traditional banking systems.

Ripple RLUSD Enters the Institutional Spotlight

Ripple enthusiastically embraced the announcement, noting the significance of its company-driven stablecoin, RLUSD, in an always-on monetary system.

Jack McDonald, Ripple’s Senior Vice President of Stablecoins, congratulated BNY Mellon and said RLUSD is designed to help support the evolution of continuous Treasury markets and institutional digital asset infrastructure.

The development follows a recent collaboration between Ripple and BNY Mellon, the leading reserve custodian for RLUSD. Their partnership is between Ripple’s regulated stablecoin and one of the world’s largest custody banks that were geared towards institutional investors, and not individual retail investors.

• Coinbase has announced the establishment of the Bitcoin Security Consortium along with BlackRock, Fidelity, Block and other industry leaders.
• The project aims to research and develop open-source Bitcoin to help prepare for future quantum computer threats.
• Coinbase will also be implementing post-quantum cryptography and supporting Bitcoin developers with their custody upgrades.

Coinbase is taking action to prepare Bitcoin for the challenges of next-generation cybersecurity, introducing a new industry alliance to help protect the network from quantum computing attacks: The Bitcoin Security Consortium.

The consortium comprises industry giants in the financial sector and the Bitcoin industry to help coordinate research, engineering and public education efforts on Bitcoin’s long-term cryptographic security.

Industry Leaders Unite Around Bitcoin Security

Coinbase has revealed it is setting up the Bitcoin Security Consortium alongside firms alongside BlackRock, Fidelity Digital Assets, Block, Blockstream, Strategy, and others in the crypto ecosystem.

We’re proud to announce the launch of the Bitcoin Security Consortium, in partnership with BlackRock, Fidelity, Block, and more.

Together we’ll support the long-term security of the Bitcoin network.

Quantum computing is coming. Crypto needs to be ready. pic.twitter.com/T792xvP7jj

— Coinbase ????️ (@coinbase) July 23, 2026

The initiative is meant to make Bitcoin more resilient and protect it from being outcompeted by quantum computers, which are one possible enemy. Although experts believe it’s still years away, Coinbase feels prepared now is the time because upgrades to decentralized networks are costly and time consuming.

Engineering Support Goes Beyond Funding

Coinbase will provide engineering resources directly to open-source Bitcoin development and also give to quantum-resistant progress endeavors.

It provides proposals, technical work and support to Bitcoin’s transition to post-quantum cryptography like BIP-360.

Coinbase Builds Quantum-Ready Infrastructure

Alongside the consortium launch, Coinbase revealed it is developing PQ-CoreKMS, a post-quantum version of its proprietary key management system.

The company currently provides CoreKMS with multi-party computation technology (MPC), which helps it achieve approximately 99.9% of its assets in custody. New signature schemes that are quantum-safe would be generated using these technologies and secure enclaves on the upgraded platform.

Coinbase also pledged it would conduct an audit of cryptographic systems used in all of its operations to determine priorities for migration and set technical milestones for broader migration once quantum technology becomes capable of certain major abilities.

Developers Begin Coordinating Bitcoin’s Next Upgrade

Getting agreement throughout its decentralized ecosystem is the way to prepare Bitcoin for post quantum security, not one firm’s.

Stanford Workshop Kicks Off Collaborative Effort

In August, Coinbase will be holding a technical workshop in conjunction with Stanford University, to encourage industry cooperation. The exchange said the workshop was the first in a series that will focus on real engineering considerations, and not speculation.

This will be the day of quantum computing and change digital security over the Internet, including in blockchain networks, said Coinbase. The company says it will use internal infrastructure improvements and open-source collaboration through the Bitcoin Security Consortium to assist the Bitcoin ecosystem in preparing long in advance for quantum computing to become a real threat to security.

• On 23rd September, 2026, BitMEX will officially end its operations after conducting a strategic business review.
• People are encouraged to close positions and withdraw funds, and exchange says all customer funds are safe.
• The shutdown marks the end of one of crypto’s most influential trading platforms and the creator of the 100x perpetual swap.

BitMEX, one of the most iconic names in crypto derivatives trading, has announced that it will permanently shut down its exchange on September 23, 2026. After evaluating the company, the parent, HDR Global Trading, made that decision, which has ended over 10 years of service.

Dear BitMEX Users,

BitMEX Confirms Exchange Closure

BitMEX announced that trading will cease at 04:00 UTC on September 23 for users in a statement to them. This platform has already suspended new account registrations and is encouraging its customers to start withdrawing as early as possible.

The exchange stressed that user assets remain fully backed and under customer control throughout the transition period. The company says the early announcement was meant as a precaution for traders to close out any trades and transfer the capital before the situation becomes chaotic.

Also highlighting its security record is BitMEX, which states that there have never been any customer’s funds stolen by a hack in its entire life.

The Exchange That Changed Crypto Trading

The BitMEX exchange was launched in 2014 and gained significant influence in digital asset markets following the launch of the perpetual swap contracts offered with up to 100x leverage.

A Product That Became an Industry Standard

Perpetual futures quickly became the major commodity in crypto derivative trading and were later embraced by most of the crypto exchanges. Originally a BitMEX product that was intended for a specific few, it has since become the most actively traded digital asset on the exchange.

In its heyday, BitMEX had been one of the top choices for skilled traders looking to enter the gold trades with high leverage and liquidity. The platform helped popularize trading in cryptocurrencies among retail and institutional users and contributed to the formation of the trading landscape as it exists today.

Competition and Industry Changes Take Their Toll

BitMEX contributed to the establishment of the perpetual futures market, but competition gradually grew through the years, as bigger exchanges introduced derivative volumes. Rivals lured in liquidity through offering a variety of products, increasing user base, and ever more aggressive growth tactics.

Over the last decade, the exchange also faced a string of regulators’ issues. Several of the founders have left since legal issues involving anti-money laundering compliance (AML) have since arisen but operations have continued.

Those difficulties did not deter BitMEX, however, as they were still a familiar brand in the crypto space, and they didn’t alienate any traders.

• Robinhood Chain has generated over $2.1 million in onchain earnings so far.
• The protocol now generates the combined revenue of 30.3% of that of RWA issuers.
• The greater the activity of the protocol, the more the fees of the gas will be kept.

A growing number of analysts believe that Robinhood Chain is one of the most promising real-world asset (RWA) providers. Fresh data from Token Terminal shows the network has crossed $2.1 million in cumulative revenue, highlighting rising transaction demand and growing adoption of its tokenized asset infrastructure.

Read More: Robinhood’s AI Crypto Trading Push Arrives as Robinhood Chain Tops $1B DEX Volume

Robinhood Chain Passes $2.1 Million in Revenue

Since its debut, Token Terminal reports that a total of $2.1 million has been accrued in revenue for Robinhood Chain.

Robinhood Chain is unique in that it will keep the 100% of gas fees it takes in on the network. As a result, revenue is measured by the total amount of transaction fees collected on behalf of the users as Wrapped Ether (WETH), which is later converted into USD for reporting purposes.

It is broadly adopted to assess the economic sustainability of a blockchain, directly related to user needs for blockspace. Activity grows, timings grow and so do the protocol revenues.

The recent statistics indicate a respectable amount of use of the Robinhood Chain since its inception beyond just token rewards, and it shows that they have gained traction.

Revenue Reflects Growing Network Demand

One of the definitive measures of blockchain adoption is through revenue from transaction fees.

Protocols generate Rewards, which differ from TVL and token price, by having users interact with applications and perform transactions. Increased fee revenues may indicate greater network resource demand and help ensure the sustainability of an ecosystem.

Ultimately, for Robinhood Chain, having all the collected gas fees additionally ties network activity to the economics of the protocol.

Robinhood Becomes a Leading RWA Issuer

Robinhood’s data also is making it one of the highest revenue-generating RWAs.

The protocol has earned $2.1 million in RWA related revenue, and seen a 30.3% share of tracked issuers. Superstate with around $4.8 million in total revenues is just ahead of Robinhood on the list. Dinari comes in third with approximately $87,300.

It reflects Robinhood’s rapid rise to become one of the hottest markets in crypto, where tokenized financial assets are gaining more/growing more attention from both institutional and retail investors.

Building Beyond Market Cycles

Ripple has said that instead of short-term momentum, repeatability is key to success in the fintech sector. The company has continued to work on infrastructure to enable faster transactions across borders and wider enterprise use of blockchain technology, it said.

This has enabled Ripple to stay alive despite regulatory storminess over the past few years, including a legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in which it has been embroiled for some time. The company has been actively pursuing key legal successes since then, promoting alliances and expanding its international reach.

Institutional Blockchain Adoption Continues to Grow

Ripple’s recognition is aligned with a greater movement on the financial markets. Beyond speculation, blockchain is gaining traction for a variety of real-world applications ranging from international payments to tokenisation and digital asset custody and settlement purposes.

Ripple continues to develop its ecosystem with Ripple Payments, the XRP Ledger, and enterprise-grade stablecoin program with RLUSD. The company has also strengthened its presence in regulated markets, particularly as institutions seek compliant blockchain infrastructure.

• Sui has released the Hashi testnet to throng the world of DeFi with native Bitcoin.
• The protocol has added the Guardian Layer to increase the security of BTC collateral.
• Over 25 ecosystem partners are readying their institutional bitcoin lending and tokenized financial products on Sui.

The Sui Foundation announces the launch of the testnet Hashi, bringing the development of decentralized finance to Bitcoin one step further. With the new infrastructure, developers, custodians, and financial institutions can start to test Bitcoin-backed applications before the protocol enters mainnet.

Built on Sui, Hashi aims to transform Bitcoin from a passive store of value into productive collateral while addressing the security and operational requirements expected by institutional participants.

Hashi Testnet Opens for Institutional Bitcoin DeFi

The launch will allow the developers to gain early access to create lending, borrowing, yield and credit products on the running bitcoins native blockchain. On the opposite side, Hashi always will be designed specifically to enable programmable finance and give extremely solid security for BTC backing.

The Sui Foundation says testnet encompasses SDKs, integration guides, and technical documentation for ecosystem partners to validate applications and workflows prior to going live.

Over 25 partners have already entered the ecosystem ranging from custody service providers, wallets, DeFi protocols, liquidity providers, insurance companies to security auditors.

Wave Digital Assets Expands Its Commitment

Wave Digital Assets, a reward platform and institutional asset manager, has gone all the way up and is helping to advance Hashi during its early stage. The firm will expand its tokenized Bitcoin, yield-bearing bond products on Sui for the next three years based on the confidence in the institutional level bitcoin fixed-income market.

Guardian Layer Adds Extra Protection

Among Hashi’s most significant features is Guardian Layer, a security feature created for institutional Bitcoin collateral. The system introduces a second level validation of collateral transfers, including validator and guardian approval in a 2-of-2 multisignature mechanism.

This architecture fits into Hashi’s existing framework that already features automated collateral management, verifiable loan terms and transparent on-chain monitoring of collateral health.

Building the Infrastructure for Bitcoin Credit Markets

Spot ETFs, treasury purchases, and clarity in regulatory guidance have all contributed to the recent uptick in institutional interest in Bitcoin. But the vast majority of BTC has been under-utilized due to the scarcity of enabling financial infrastructure capabilities to securely program financial services.

Developers Can Begin Building Before Mainnet

To address this, Hashi is working to provide developers and institutions with the necessary resources to build Bitcoin lending, borrowing, settlement, and tokenized asset products.

It has infrastructure, insurance, and security partners along with major names like BitGo, Ledger, Bullish, Cumberland, FalconX, Scallop, Suilend, Navi, and SwissBorg.

With testnet operational, the builders can start to incorporate applications and the institutions can look over workflows before the launch of Hashi’s full mainnet, stirring native Bitcoin finance in the direction of wide scale reception.

• Network School inked an MOU with Kazakhstan for a new campus to build.
• Malaysia is withdrawing the project’s digital certification due to breaches of the licensing agreement.
• The shift demonstrates the crypto communities’ experience with navigating regulation.’

With a regulatory hurdle in Malaysia, Balaji Srinivasan’s Network School is continuing to expand globally. The organization has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Republic of Kazakhstan to establish a new campus while Malaysian authorities move to shut down its operations in Johor over licensing compliance issues.

Kazakhstan Welcomes Network School

Balaji Srinivasan announced on X that Network School had reached an agreement with Kazakhstan to establish a new campus designed to attract entrepreneurs, developers, and technology talent.

I am pleased to announce that a memorandum of understanding has been signed between the Republic of Kazakhstan and Network School.
Our new campus will become a haven for global techno-optimism, with expedited visas, streamlined redomiciliation, and active recruitment of talent. pic.twitter.com/R20i8UAYoc

— Balaji (@balajis) July 21, 2026

The programme will also establish a pool of “global techno-optimists,” granting various visas, facilitating business redomiciliation and providing an active recruitment programme for talent from abroad, Srinivasan said.

This comes as part of Kazakhstan’s initiative to establish itself as a hub of blockchain and digital assets in the region. The country’s push in crypto mining, digital innovation and the recent announcement of the creation of a dedicated micro economic zone for crypto development make it an increasingly promising destination for Web3 companies.

A Strategic Pivot

Despite difficulties in Malaysia, Network School is expanding to Kazakhstan due to a need for regulatory certainty there. Rather than slowing its global ambitions, the organization appears to be shifting toward jurisdictions actively competing for blockchain entrepreneurs and digital investment.

Malaysia Tightens Regulatory Enforcement

At the same time, Malaysian authorities are taking action against NSO Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., the operator of Network School’s Forest City campus.

The company’s business license was cancelled by the City Council of Iskandar Puteri (MBIP) after the council found that the company had not met the conditions and regulations for using its premises according to the city ordinance. The order will stop the business from operating starting July 22nd.

In response to MBIP’s decision, the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) has decided to immediately start conditioning the revocation of MBIP’s Malaysia Digital status. It is only awarded to licensed and regulated companies that represent new technologies.

The government clarified that Malaysia is still open to the investment of valuable digital companies, but said that no company is above the laws of Malaysia. Johor state government also charged immigration and other federal authorities to investigate further if there are other breaches in the law in the state.

Crypto Communities Face Growing Regulatory Scrutiny

Network School has garnered industry interest for its vision of a worldwide network of communities of technologies, entrepreneurial intent and blockchain innovation, working remotely.

Overall, regulatory trends regarding crypto related activities are still on a divergent path, as seen in Kazakhstan versus Malaysia.

Some governments are introducing incentives to bring blockchain talent and investment in, and others are focusing more on licensing compliance, operational oversight, local regulation etc.

For crypto organizations expanding internationally, regulatory alignment is becoming just as important as technological innovation when choosing where to build the next generation of Web3 ecosystems.

• IREN closed three new AI cloud deals valued at $2.8 billion.
• It raised its forecast for AI revenue to more than $4 billion by 2026.
• Approximately 85% of the projected ARR is already booked under multi-year agreements.

The distinction between AI and crypto infrastructure is increasingly becoming muddled. IREN, originally known for Bitcoin mining, has strengthened its AI business after securing billions of dollars in new cloud contracts with leading AI developers.

IREN Raises AI Revenue Outlook

As a result of the multi-year AI cloud contracts, IREN’s annualized run-rate revenue (ARR) is forecasted to reach over $4 billion compared to $3.7 billion prior to the announcement and more than $2.5 billion at present.

The company said around 85% of the new ARR target is already under contract, providing strong revenue visibility as additional AI infrastructure comes online.

Its customer base now includes Microsoft, NVIDIA, Perplexity, Figure AI, Together AI, Fluidstack, Fireworks AI, Fal AI, Hume AI, and another leading AI developer. The agreements cover bare-metal GPUs infrastructure as well as managed AI cloud services.

Demand Continues to Outpace Supply

While demand continues to exceed IREN’s portfolio capacity, it has also seen more and more demand come in from hyperscalers, enterprises, frontier AI labs and AI developers, IREN stated.

Its Growth of AI cloud capacity has seen the company ramp up to about 3 MW a year ago and with the goal of 480 MW this year, now aims for 1.2 GW by 2027.

The most recent deal also includes the prepayment of about 45% of GPU deployment expenses, lowering IREN’s capital needs and accelerating growth. The average contract duration is around 4 years for the company’s AI contracts.

Crypto Infrastructure Evolves Into AI

IREN created its business on Bitcoin mining, but now slowly positions itself as an AI infrastructure provider. To support AI model training and inference, as well as digital asset operations, its data centers are now established in renewable-energy-rich areas in North America, Europe, and APAC.

IREN had a cash balance of about $7.6 billion and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026, which included restricted cash related to financing on GPU.

Bitcoin Miners Accelerate the AI Pivot

IREN’s latest announcement is part of a more widespread trend in the cryptocurrency mining industry. With the margins of mining becoming more competitive, businesses are tapping into increased demand for AI computing power through their power infrastructure and data centers.

Long-term Cloud contracts make more predictable revenue than Bitcoin mining but gives enterprises the benefit to run existing expertise of their large and powerful computing centres.

• The London Stock Exchange plans to have trading rounds after normal business hours as early as early 2027.
• The shift reflects the changing will of the market, which today demands 24 hours of market access, or crypto access as it were.
• Initially the new venue will allow exchange traded products (ETPs).

Traditional financial markets are moving toward another crypto-inspired approach to becoming always-on. London Stock Exchange (LSE) has upgraded plans to launch its own trading venue open 24/7 in the first half of the 2027 to cater to retail investors who are increasingly expecting such round-the-clock access.

LSE Adopts a Crypto-Inspired Trading Model

The new platform will be independent of LSE’s main exchange. The main market will stay open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and the overnight market will remain open from 5:00 p.m. to 7:50 a.m. with a break for end of day processing.

In the first instance, the service will be limited to exchange-traded products (ETPs) such as ETF sectors following the UK and US share markets. The exchange, in a press release, cited the relative ease of beginning investing in ETPs as compared to individual stocks as advantages.

The announcement marks a larger change in the global markets as exchanges begin to adjust to investor habits with digital assets.

Crypto Is Reshaping Investor Expectations

Plants like Coinbase and Kraken have become the foray for retail investors to engage in cryptocurrency trading round-the-clock. This experience has helped to drive a growing need for ongoing access to traditional financial products, especially when major events in the news or in the marketplace happen.

Competition Extends Beyond Crypto

The LSE’s decision comes as other markets launch similar schemes like Nasdaq, NYSE, and Cboe Global Markets implementing longer trading hours or extending trading platforms. The parallel development of crypto platforms, however, has taken a step further by adding tokenized stocks and 24/7 trading of the securities, making a distinction between traditional finance and crypto totally indistinct.

The CEO of LSE, Julia Hoggett, stated that global Retail Investors, particularly in Asia, were increasingly looking for more trading opportunities in the times when they wish to, regardless of the times of the day when there is a typical exchange trading.

AI and Digital Infrastructure Play a Bigger Role

In addition to the longer trading hours, the new venue is also being enhanced with agentic AI features that can aid in portfolio analysis, market surveillance, and automated trading decisions. The companies are convinced that AI-driven investing is poised to be more significant in the changing marketplace.

The demand from retail investors for longer trading sessions outweighs the demand from institutional investors, which is still more conservative. The benefits of near-24 hour trading have yet to be realised, according to industry groups.

Despite all of the above, the latest move by the LSE showcasing the impact of crypto on the global financial markets structure. Many analysts believe it’s a differentiator digital asset exchanges offer that will be standard for traditional asset exchanges to achieve to stay competitive in an increasingly digital investment world.

• This summer the Telegram project will release a native non-custodial Gram wallet.
• Users will be able to transfer crypto without any fees being charged and at instant speeds.
• The launch could introduce self custody crypto to more than 1 billion individuals.

Telegram is in the works to possibly become one of the largest consumer crypto entries to come along in years. This summer, the messaging app will introduce a non-custodial wallet called Gram in every Telegram app and provide more than one billion users with direct access to self-custodied digital assets, Founder Pavel Durov announced.

Telegram Bets Big on Self-Custody

In a post Telegram, Durov described the launch as “the largest rollout of a non-custodial crypto wallet in human history.” He also revealed that users will be able to send cryptocurrency instantly with zero transaction fees, making crypto payments as simple as sending a message.

A non-custodial wallet enables users to have total custody of their assets, while custodial wallets put their private keys into someone else’s hands. It is in line with one of the tenets of crypto, which places control over funds directly in the user’s hands rather than over centralized intermediaries.

While the announcement did not provide any specific parameters or release date, Telegram remains another crucial milestone in introducing blockchain services into typical communication channels.

Crypto Inside the Messaging App

By integrating the wallet with each version of Telegram, high user adoption will be made even easier and users won’t need to download a separate wallet. When adopted broadly, users would be able to send, receive and handle digital assets without having to come out of conversation.

Gram Returns to the Spotlight

The announcement is also a sign of Telegram’s active engagement in the Gram ecosystem. The name is a nod to the first cryptocurrency that was launched in Telegram’s initial blockchain proposal in 2018, which was later scrapped due to regulatory issues.

Recenly the entire TON ecosystem is shifting their focus to restore Gram identity and promote Web3 services on the top of the Telegram ecosystem. The native wallet represents one of the most visible consumer-facing products in that strategy.

Read More: Kentucky Bill Sparks Crypto Shock as Hardware Wallet Backdoor Threatens Self-Custody

A Potential Milestone for Crypto Adoption

Telegram surpassed one billion monthly active users, giving the Gram wallet a potential audience unmatched by almost any standalone crypto application.

Scale Could Change the Industry

Once Telegram does enable wallet functionality, presumably at least a portion of its users will use the wallet, which could significantly boost the global adoption of self-custody wallets. Fast and free transfers can also spur adoption of P2P payments, tipping and international transfers within Telegram’s ecosystem.

The statement comes as big tech firms push further into the space for financial services that utilises the blockchain. By integrating all three, Telegram is making crypto a default feature of the application, and not a standalone one.

With over 935,000 views on Durov’s announcement within its first 10 hours, interest in the rollout is already high. In terms of the wallet, Telegram has contended that this would be one of the largest in reality deployments for mainstream users of crypto infrastructure ever this summer.

• After months of controversy, Movement Labs became a Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
• Move Industries will continue to run the Movement blockchain as an independent unit.
• The filing follows the MOVE token scandal and a failed restructuring effort.

Movement Labs, the company that originally developed the Movement blockchain, has entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in the United States, marking another major chapter in one of crypto’s most turbulent projects over the past two years.

Movement Labs Begins Chapter 11 Restructuring

Court filings show MVMT Labs voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The company plans to restructure under Subchapter V, which is a program meant for relatively small companies that would be allowed to operate throughout the restructuring process, but debts would be worked out in court.

They have stock assets valued between $100,000 and $1 million and are attached to 200-999 creditors, with liabilities valued between $1 million and $10 million. An initial creditors’ meeting has been set for August 20 while claims must be filed by creditors until September 14.

This follows months of financial and operational strain which shifted the Movement landscape.

MOVE Token Controversy Triggered Months of Turmoil

Market-making Deal Sparked Governance Crisis

Its issues have grown since the launch of MOVE, its token, in late 2024.

The project faced serious scrutiny when concerns arose regarding a market-making deal between a counterparty known to Web3Port and intermediary Rentech that provided a strong influence on MOVE’s float. As previously reported, internal records indicate that about 66 million MOVE tokens were sold into the market shortly after issuance, which is why prices are so low.

The impact of the project was not confined to the confines of itself. Binance had pulled the market maker involved, alleging he acted unethically, while Movement had started a buyback program for its tokens and ordered an independent inquiry into the deal.

Leadership also changed significantly. In 2025, Co-founder Rushi Manche quit Movement Labs during the controversy, throwing another monkey wrench into the project.

Blockchain Development Continues Despite Bankruptcy

The Chapter 11 filing does not indicate that the Movement blockchain is going into demise.

Restructuring the project has already resulted in a core development being transferred to Move Industries, a separate legal entity. The company has been refocusing its ecosystem away from direct competition with Ethereum layer-2s solutions, and towards crossborder payments, remittances, and stablecoin settlement.

This follows the announcement by blockchain business Move Industries in March that it would bring payment infrastructure to the United States, Canada and the European Union, avoiding the competition at the payment infrastructure level in favor of real-world financial applications.

Nevertheless, there is a question mark over the potential impact on current partnership, ecosystem funding and commercial expansion.

• Former New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo joins OKX’s Board of Directors.
• Since 2023, Cuomo has been advising the exchange on strategy for U.S. regulation.
• The shift aligns with OKX’s broader institutional finance and tokenization initiatives, as well as its AI-driven blockchain offerings.

OKX has strengthened its leadership team by appointing Andrew M. Cuomo to its Board of Directors, formalizing a relationship that began in 2023 when the former New York governor started advising the crypto exchange on U.S. regulatory and institutional strategy. The appointment notably marks OKX’s venture into other asset categories, such as tokens, AI services, and traditional financial markets.

OKX Brings Cuomo Into Its Boardroom

Cuomo’s decades-long experience in both state and federal government will prove invaluable in helping the company realize a next phase of growth, especially in the United States of America, the company said. Prior to his appointment to the board, Cuomo was the 56th Governor of New York state, New York state Attorney General and U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

OKX has already been deeply influenced by Cuomo in its U.S. strategy for the last three years, Star Xu, the founder, CEO of OKX, said. His appointment now gives him a direct role in the company’s governance as OKX expands its regulated financial services.

Today, we’re excited to announce that Andrew M. Cuomo (@andrewcuomo) has joined the OKX Board of Directors.

Governor Cuomo has been a trusted advisor to OKX since 2023, providing valuable guidance as we’ve grown. We’re proud to now officially welcome him to our Board.

2026 has…

— Star_OKX (@star_okx) July 20, 2026

ICE, New York Stock Exchange’s parent company, in March confirmed its strategic investment in OKX with an estimated market capitalization of $25 billion USD. Both companies announced a joint venture a couple of months later, to bridge the gap between traditional financial markets and blockchain.

Tokenization and AI Become Key Priorities

Cuomo is also co-chair of the OKX-ICE partnership that seeks to merge ICE’s exchange infrastructure and market data with OKX’s blockchain technology and self-custody solutions. It is expected that with regulatory permission, this initiative will bring token-based financial products to the reach of all the institutions.

In addition to tokenization, OKX recently launched its AI marketplace, OKX AI, that enables autonomous AI agents to explore tasks, interact with other agents, complete on-chain transactions, and create digital reputations.

Regulatory Experience Supports Global Strategy

Cuomo also has a background in regulation that OKX sees as a match for its long-term plans to play in highly regulated jurisdictions, OKX said in a statement. The company currently has licenses and/or regulatory approvals in markets such as EEA, U.S., UAE, Singapore and Australia.

Governance Becomes a Competitive Focus

As big institutions begin to embrace digital assets, crypto exchanges are finding it more important to market governance, compliance, and regulatory prowess rather than technology. With Cuomo’s appointment, OKX will bolster its trustworthiness among governments, regulators and institutional investors, while growing its product-range to serve as a bridge between the traditional financial world and blockchain-based infrastructure.

The move also underlines the exchange’s wider bid to become a trusted and trustworthy home for the tokenization of assets, digital asset custody services, artificial intelligence app development, and next-generation financial services.

• Tether Gold (XAU₮) has become an Accepted Spot Commodity in Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM).
• Licensed ADGM firms can offer XAU₮ services under the financial center’s regulatory framework.
• The approval further bolsters the credibility of tokenized gold in the more than $31 billion RWA market.

Tether’s gold-backed digital asset, Tether Gold (XAU₮), has marked another regulatory significant milestone in the Middle East by becoming an Accepted Spot Commodity on Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). This step will allow licensed entities within ADGM to offer services relating to XAU₮, thereby paving the way for institutional access to a tokenized gold.

ADGM Expands Support for Tokenized Gold

It comes on the heels of continued partnership between Tether and the ADGM regulators to showcase the strength, transparency, and compliance frameworks underpinning XAU₮.

As long as financial institutions receive the necessary regulatory authorizations, they can incorporate XAU₮ into their products and services under the new designation. The move also bolsters Abu Dhabi’s reputation as a top global hub for stablecoins and regulated digital asset creation.

Previously, the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of ADGM has already given approval to USD₮ as an Accepted Fiat Referenced Token. The inclusion of XAU₮ will further diversify the financial center’s regulated offering.

Gold Meets Blockchain Infrastructure

One XAU₮ token equates to one troy ounce of real gold held in a London Good Delivery gold bar. Unlike regular gold ownership, with tokens you can move the asset on-chain, and they are directly backed by allocated physical gold.

It is an efficient fusion of the strength of gold and blockchain, enabling investors to transfer, trade and complete the settlement process globally without involving traditional settlement mechanisms. Each gold reserve will carry assignable serial numbers, known purity information and be known for their weight and can be redeemed for gold in physical form.

Middle East Pushes Tokenized Asset Adoption

Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, stated the UAE is becoming a world leader in the regulation of digital assets, whereas the decision from ADGM provides additional opportunities for regulated entities to create blockchain-based gold products.

There is always a need to allow for responsible innovation and for companies to have access to a wider range of financial products that are regulated, ADGM Chief Market Development Officer Arvind Ramamurthy said.

The nod comes on the heels of an increased institutional appetite for tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs). Tether said that the total dollar value of tokens of all RWAs on the blockchain has surpassed $31 billion, up from around $6.6 billion a year ago.

Tether Deepens Its UAE Presence

The green light follows Tether’s increasing interactions with regulators in the UAE, as it expands beyond stablecoins to the tokenization of commodities.

With more and more institutions becoming interested in digital asset alternatives to holding and transferring traditional assets, gold-backed digital assets are getting a second wind. Tether’s addition of XAU₮ to the ADGM-regulated commodities program is effectively introducing tokenized gold to the playbook of institutional applications for blockchain, besides stablecoins and other financial products.

• AZ-COM Maruwa will settle the payment of approximately 2,300 logistics partners in JPYC stablecoin.
• The rollout was designed to help contractors receive quicker, fee-free payments.
• It could prove the first major enterprise-wide stablecoin rollout in Japan.

Japan’s enterprise stablecoin adoption is taking a significant step forward. AZ-COM Maruwa Holdings, a major logistics company serving Amazon Japan, plans to introduce the yen-backed JPYC stablecoin into its payment operations, allowing thousands of transportation partners to receive faster digital settlements.

The project is one of the biggest corporate deployments of stablecoins so far in the country, and a sign of a broader interest in blockchain-based payment solutions beyond the crypto market.

AZ-COM Maruwa Brings Stablecoin Payments to Logistics

Nikkei reports that AZ-COM Maruwa will pay out control fees and other compensation for outsourcing to some 2,300 business partners, such as independent truck drivers and transportation contractors, via JPYC.

The firm thinks blockchain payment can streamline settlements by removing transfer charges and enable contractors to get paid at greater frequency than traditional banking systems.

Among its top customers is Amazon Japan, and AZ-COM Maruwa is one of the largest logistics providers in Japan. With its extensive network of contractors, it has become one of the most prominent real-world Bitcoin-to-fiat use cases in the nation.

Read More: Japan Officially Classifies Crypto as Financial Instruments

Why JPYC Fits Enterprise Payments

JPYC is a stablecoin in yen currency that is meant for digital payments to be done in Japan. Whereas other cryptocurrencies are tied to other currencies, its worth is established on the Japanese yen, which makes it easier to undertake business transactions and also firms that settle payroll settlements.

The company also is reportedly looking at a wider deal with JPYC, and it could commit over ¥1 billion ($6.2 million) to ramp up cooperation in digital payment infrastructure.

JPYC founder and CEO Noritaka Okabe pointed out enterprise adoption will be an important factor for the sustainable growth of the stablecoin space.

Japan’s Stablecoin Market Continues to Expand

Over the years, Japan has developed one of the most transparent regulatory frameworks for stablecoins. The new law gives financial institutions and the approved issuers the opportunity to develop their digital payment products in yen under the regulatory oversight.

That platform motivated traditional finance institutions and companies to experiment with practical applications of blockchain-based settlement systems instead of speculative trading.

This is the Change in Steering of the activities in the AZ-COM Maruwa deployment. Rather than investing in crypto, the company is addressing issues like payment processing, transaction fees and pay contractor cash flow that plague operations.

The initiative could inspire other Japanese logistics companies and large businesses to consider stablecoins for payments to their suppliers and for payroll or settlements among businesses. With the growing popularity of stablecoins for business, it could provide a continuous adoption driver within the digital economy in Japan.

• Allbridge Core was forced to halt its cross-chain bridge due to the flash-loan vulnerability, losing about $1.65 million.
• Attackers manipulated stablecoin pools before moving stolen funds from Solana to Ethereum.
• Allbridge is investigating and urged liquidity providers to withdraw from affected pools.

Yet another cross-chain bridge has fallen prey to a sophisticated DeFi exploit, underscoring the continued security problems in the realm of interoperability bridges. The financial loss may be relatively small compared to other big bridge hacks, though it is yet another reminder that flash loans are still a great way to take advantage of liquidity pool mechanics.

Allbridge Core is experiencing a security incident.
We have paused the protocol as a precaution while we investigate.

If you have liquidity in affected pools, please withdraw now.

The resulting pool imbalance created a temporary positive arbitrage window. If you took advantage… pic.twitter.com/Ovg7yT35SM

Allbridge Halts Operations Following Flash Loan Attack

Cross-chain bridge Allbridge Core stopped its protocol after it was hacked and $1.65 million worth of stablecoins were drained from its infrastructure. The attack was spotted by several blockchain security companies, such as PeckShield and CertiK, soon after the incident and the protocol has temporarily halted activities as engineers work to understand the vulnerability.

The attacker first got a $1.12 million flash loan from lending protocol Kamino on Solana, according to on-chain investigators. The exploiter quickly exchanges all USDT and USDC in the pools, impacting the exchange rates of the pools in Allbridge. By manipulating the price, the attacker could sell assets at advantageous rates, and then buy back the same assets at the same transaction on the platform, paying at additional rates.

Read More: Taiko Bridge Hack Drains $1.7M

The stolen funds were later analyzed on the blockchain to determine that they were transferred from Solana to Ethereum, a common method of attackers wishing to increase their liquidity and find other ways to obscure funds.

Liquidity Providers Asked to Exit Affected Pools

After the hack, Allbridge urged liquidity providers to pull their money from affected pools, as the protocol’s security is still being reviewed. The attack caused an imbalance, it opened up profitable arbitrage opportunities for a short time for the team in the affected pools.

Interestingly, Allbridge encouraged traders who profited from this short term price imbalance to voluntarily repatriate any gains that they made in a public statement. As per the protocol, the recovered money would flow to affected liquidity providers during the course of the investigation.

The project has not yet published a full technical after-action report on the project as of the time of writing, nor has it announced when bridge services will be restored. The hacker path continues to be analysed by both developers and the security community.

Flash Loans Continue to Expose DeFi Weaknesses

Flash loan attacks are different from traditional hacks that involve using stolen private keys or hacking into infrastructure in their nature. Flash loans are uncollateralized and can only be paid back in a single transaction, allowing a flash-loan attack to rapidly access a large amount of liquidity to influence asset prices or calculations within the protocol.

This exploit seems to have been based on fast swaps to change the ratios of the stablecoin pools, rather than on the cryptography of the bridge. The separation is an example of the broader decentralized finance pricing conundrum: even the best-audited protocols can be susceptible when liquidity conditions or pricing assumptions are abused in extreme market situations.

Step 2: Verify identity

Once you’ve registered, the next step is to complete the KYC verification. KYC stands for “Know Your Customer”, and it’s a way for BingX to verify who you are. Completing KYC is important because it unlocks more bonuses, and it also makes your account more secure.

To start the KYC process, go to your new BingX profile section and find the “Identity Verification” section. You’ll need to provide some identification, like a passport, driver’s license, or another government ID. Then, follow the instructions to upload clear pictures of your ID. In some cases, you may also need to take a selfie to confirm your identity.

BingX will review the documents you provided, which usually takes a few hours or, at most, a day. Upon approval of your KYC verification, you will qualify for an additional reward as part of the KYC bonus.

Step 3: Deposit Cryptocurrency or Fiat

After you’ve completed KYC, the next step is to fund the account and start trading. There are various ways to make a simple deposit. You can deposit using cryptocurrency, which is called an “on-chain deposit”, or you can use P2P trading, which lets you trade directly with other users.

In certain regions, you have the option to deposit fiat currency such as USD through bank deposits. Just choose the option that works best for you.

For on-chain deposits, go to the “Assets” section and click on “Deposit”. From there, select the cryptocurrency you want to deposit and follow the instructions provided. Make sure to copy your unique wallet address accurately to avoid any transfer issues.

For P2P trading, go to the “Buy Crypto” section and select “P2P Trading”. Here, you can choose a preferred seller, set the amount you want to buy, and follow the steps to complete your purchase directly with other users.

Step 4: Start Trading Crypto

Head over to the “Markets” section, which you’ll find on the main navigation bar at the top of the page. This is where you can see all the available cryptocurrencies for trading, along with their current prices and other market data. Browse through the options until you find a cryptocurrency pair you want to trade, like BTC/USDT or ETH/USDT. Each pair represents two currencies you can trade against each other.

Once you’ve chosen a trading pair, click on it to open the trading page. This page gives you more detailed information about the pair, including live price charts, order books, and recent trade history. It may look a bit complex at first, but BingX’s platform is designed to be beginner-friendly, so you’ll get the hang of it quickly.

On the right side of the screen, you’ll see options to place your trade. You can choose between Market Order and Limit Order.

Tip: A Market Order lets you buy or sell immediately at the current market price, while a Limit Order lets you set a specific price for your trade to execute.

Before placing your trade, enter the amount of cryptocurrency you want to buy or sell. Double-check the details to make sure everything is correct, then click “Buy” to complete your trade. Once you confirm, the trade will proceed and update your assets in your account. If it’s a Limit Order, it may take a bit longer until the price matches your set amount.

Step 5: Claim Sign-Up Bonus

Now, go to the “Rewards Hub” page on BingX. This is where all the bonuses are stored, and you can see which rewards you’re eligible for. Keep in mind that rewards don’t get added to your account automatically—you have to claim them manually.

Check each bonus, click “Claim”, and the reward will be added to your account balance. Some rewards may take up to 20 days to appear, so be patient, but check the rewards page regularly. Also, make sure to claim each bonus before it expires, as some rewards are time-sensitive.

BingX Referral Program and Affiliate Program

The BingX referral program is super simple and a great way to earn rewards by inviting your friends to the platform. Here’s how it works and what makes it cool.

When you sign up for the program, you get your own unique referral link or code. You share this link with your friends, and when they join BingX and start trading (like spot or futures trading), you earn a part of their trading fees.

The best part? There’s a progressive earning system. Everyone starts at Level 1, earning a 10% commission from the trading fees of people they invite. But if you bring in more friends, you can level up to Level 2 and start earning 20%.

At the advanced levels, you also get something called “indirect commissions”, which means you can earn money not just from the people you invite, but also from the people they invite.

Joining is easy. You can sign up through the BingX app or their website. On the app, go to the “Avatar” section and click “Invite to Earn”. On the website, it’s under “More” on the homepage.

From there, you generate your referral link and share it with your friends via social media, messaging apps, or even using their poster-making tool to make it look cool. You can also track your referrals and earnings in real-time through your account.

BingX makes it even sweeter by letting you give a portion of your rewards to your friends as a bonus. It’s like sharing the excitement and keeping them hooked on trading too. And when it comes to cashing out your earnings, it’s pretty straightforward –  just withdraw it like your usual funds.

The BingX Affiliate Program is a bit different and more for people who can bring in a larger audience. If you’re a blogger, influencer, or content creator, this could work for you. The affiliate program lets you earn up to 50% commissions based on the trading volume of the people you refer.

This means that if the people you refer trade a lot, you keep earning a percentage on each trade. So, the more users sign up and trade through your link, the higher your earnings can be.

BingX Exchange Overview

BingX is a popular crypto spot and derivatives trading platform that was founded in 2018. It’s based in Singapore and has quickly become a favorite for many people who want to start cryptocurrency trading journey. The platform supports over 800 different cryptocurrencies, so you have plenty of options to trade, including popular ones like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many altcoins.

What is the Pros of MEXC?

As a famous crypto exchange, MEXC is standing out by providing many perks to their users, the pros of MEXC exchange are:

• Largest Collections of Altcoins: MEXC is popular for listing new altcoins and meme coins for investing and spot and futures trading. The cryptocurrency exchange has more digital assets than any other exchange in the crypto industry (with over 2700 supported crypto and 3000+ trading pairs)
• Quick Registration: You can complete MEXC registration in under a minute. This is because you only need an email or a phone number to register and access MEXC trading services.
• Optional KYC: Once you add the verification code sent to your email, you are in, and you can start trading immediately. You do not need to complete the KYC verification to be able to withdraw your digital assets.

Without KYC, you can withdraw between 10-30 BTC daily, which is more than enough for many individual traders. However, you can always complete the KYC verification process to boost your withdrawal limit to 80 or 200 BTC as your needs grow.

• Copy trading Tools: This platform helps new users make the most of their investments by copying the trading strategies of experienced traders. You get access to important details about the trader, including their track record, return on investments, and wins. If you like any traders’ track records, you can simply click “Copy Trade,” and orders will be automatically placed on your behalf.
• Futures Demo Trading: If you are worried about risking your money on crypto trades, you can use the Demo Trading interface to practice before you start. When you sign up for demo trading, you will receive a $50,000 test account that gives you a simple, risk-free way to try futures trading and other trading options on MEXC Exchange.
• Earning Options: Users can stake their assets through Savings, Simple Earn, and New Token Mining with fixed and flexible terms in exchange for rewards. This is especially important for users looking to grow assets with minimal daily trading on the spots or futures markets.

With Savings, you will get daily interest payouts between 0.08% – 20% annual percentage yield (APY). On the flip side, you can also use MEXC Loans to borrow crypto by putting up another crypto asset as collateral.

What is the Cons of MEXC?

The cons of MEXC Exchange are;

• The Exchange is Largely Unregulated: MEXC cryptocurrency exchange is not regulated in many countries as it lacks authorization from financial authorities in several jurisdictions, including the US, Canada, and Germany. In Germany, BaFin has warned that MEXC global exchange is offering financial services without the necessary licenses.
• Complaints About Locking User Funds: MEXC has been facing backlash for claims of locking user funds even though the experience is not consistent across multiple users. A MEXC review on Trustpilot said, “Used the platform for one month, made security deposits and deposited crypto funds. Out of nowhere got banned with no reasons and explanation. Another user said, “They have sent me an Email to withdraw your assets within a short period of time, but my assets are frozen (cannot sell and exchange them for other cryptos) and can not withdraw because XCH (chia network) has been in maintenance mode for months so i can not withdraw my XCH….”
• Not the Most Beginner Friendly Platforms: Due to its large coin offerings and many other features, trading on MEXC might be a little challenging for beginners. However, the platform provides educational resources and a simple in-app guide to help new users.

What Are the Best Features of MEXC

The best features of MEXC are the Launchpad and Kickstarter, MEXC Futures M-Day, Spot Trading, and Copy Trading. Let’s break down these features to get a better understanding of how they impact your experience on the exchange:

1. MEXC Launchpad & Kickstarter

It can be challenging to discover and invest in promising Blockchain projects before they hit the mainstream. The MEXC global exchange offers two key features to improve the process: the MEXC Launchpad and the Kickstarter event.

They are designed to help users discover and invest in promising blockchain projects while providing incentives such as airdrops and rewards to encourage participants.

For the MEXC Launchpad, the exchange uses a rigorous selection process to ensure that only projects that meet strict criteria are featured. This includes evaluating the project’s team, market demand, and potential.

Users can earn free token airdrops by holding MX tokens. For instance, if you hold at least 2,000 MX tokens, you can participate in airdrop events and make huge returns when projects launch. 

To participate in Launchpad events:

• Buy and hold at least 1,000 MX tokens in your spot wallet for 30 consecutive days.
• Commit your MX tokens during Non-lockup Events using the Quick Commit feature.
• Airdrops will then be distributed based on the proportion of tokens committed.

On the other hand, the Kickstarter event is another initiative by MEXC platform that aims to support new projects during their pre-launch phase. You and other users can participate by voting for your favorite Blockchain projects. Successful votes lead to free rewards and token airdrops for participants.

Like the Launchpad, there are requirements that qualify users to participate in Kickstarter events. Users must hold at least 500 MX tokens for 24 hours before the event starts. The amount of MX tokens held determines how many tokens can be committed during the event.

2. MEXC Futures M-Day

MEXC Futures M-Day is a promotional event designed to encourage users to participate in special token listing events. Users can receive airdrops as rewards by trading in the particular stock designated by MEXC.

This event is held all year round, but the tokens change depending on the time of year, so if you want to participate, you must watch the event often. For instance, MEXC held an event last year to encourage users to trade in USDT-M futures on the cryptocurrency exchange.

Participants earned rewards through a lucky draw based on their trading volumes during specified periods. This threshold varies by event; for instance, it could be set at 40,000 USDT or more.

The higher the transaction volume, the more tickets a user can claim for the draw. Here’s how you can qualify to participate;

• You must register for each event to participate on the MEXC website or mobile app.
• Engage in trading the particular token in the futures market to accumulate volume and earn tickets.
• During the ticket claim period, claim your tickets based on your trading activity.
• After the event concludes, MEXC will announce the results and distribute rewards.

Participating in MEXC M-Day can get you rewards whether you win or not. Participation alone gets you free raffle tickets with futures bonuses. One lottery ticket will be awarded for every 45,000 USDT trading volume, which you can use as a margin and withdraw your earnings.

3. Spot Trading

The MEXC platform has a spot market similar to other exchanges. You can buy and sell crypto easily and take advantage of MEXC’s high liquidity. Due to a high trading volume, your orders will be fulfilled quickly, and you can get good rates when making trades. 

Additionally, the platform has an advanced trading dashboard with pairs mostly pegged with USDT. The dashboard displays trading information, including the 24-hour, 7-day, and 30-day trading volume of the particular pair you choose.

4. Copy Trading

MEXC’s Copy Trading feature allows new users to automatically replicate the trading strategies of experienced traders in futures markets. You can select active traders based on their track record and performance metrics, such as return on investment (ROI), 7-day win rate, and profit and loss (PNL).

To participate, you only need to deposit funds to your copy trade account, fill in your details, and follow experienced traders to start copying their trading strategies. All orders are placed automatically when you decide to follow a trader, and no additional fees are charged for copy trading transactions.

Other MEXC Crypto Exchange Features

• P2P Trading: Besides buying, selling, and trading crypto in the futures and spot markets, MEXC users can also trade crypto assets with other users on the MEXC platform without middlemen. In exchange for a local currency or vice versa, you can trade digital assets on the P2P marketplace, including USDT, USDC, BTC, and ETH.
• MEXC Token Airdrops: MEXC frequently hosts token airdrops, letting you earn rewards by completing simple tasks like depositing funds or making trades. If you want to participate in airdrop campaigns, you should check the “Token Airdrop” page often to catch such events before they end.
• MEXC Referral Program: Like other exchanges, MEXC affiliate portal enables users to make additional rewards by promoting the platform. As a referrer, you can earn up to 70% commission on every trade your referrals make on MEXC’s spot and futures markets.

These rewards are not one-way benefits; referrals also qualify for rewards, such as a $20 sign up bonus, and access to top industry events. So, if you’d rather open an account and trade daily without being an affiliate, use the promo code: mexc-cnjreview for exclusive rewards and airdrops.

What Are the MEXC Supported Countries?

MEXC is available in the United Kingdom, Australia, Africa, most of Europe, and Asia, serving 10+ million traders in over 170 countries. This makes it one of the most accessible crypto exchanges in the world.

What Are the MEXC Restricted Countries?

MEXC Exchange is not available everywhere. It is not accessible to traders in North Korea, Cuba, Sudan, Syria, Hong Kong, Iran, Mainland China, Singapore, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Sevastopol and Russian-controlled regions of Ukraine (Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk).

Due to legal and regulatory restrictions, you cannot open an account or trade on MEXC Exchange if you are located in one of these regions. However, some traders use VPN to bypass detection and access MEXC services. They remain “Unverified” traders with a daily withdrawal limit starting at 10 BTC.

Always remember that MEXC reserves the right to take immediate action, including account liquidation and termination (even funded accounts) if users provide inconsistent information about their location. So, if you decide to use a VPN, ensure it is always on while logging in to the platform.

What Are the Best Alternatives for MEXC?

The best alternatives to MEXC are Bybit, KuCoin, Binance, and BingX. These best crypto exchanges offer a large selection of crypto like MEXC, they have competitive fees, and offer multiple features to give users a smooth trading experience.

While some of these alternatives, including Binance and Bybit, require KYC verification, it is optional on BingX. But before you decide on an exchange to explore, the top MEXC alternatives are summarized in the comparison table below to help you make informed decisions.

In terms of cryptocurrency selection, user security, and features, the best MEXC alternatives are Binance and Bybit. The two platforms offer various trading pairs, thousands of crypto, and competitive trading fees, but they require KYC. They also provide various features, including Trading bots, staking, saving, NFT marketplace, and more. If you want to understand more about these alternatives, check out our detailed Binance review for more information.

However, when talking about ‘no mandatory’ KYC verification alternatives for MEXC Exchange, consider using BingX and Kucoin. Though they are restricted in certain regions, you can use a VPN service to access these exchanges. But besides the optional KYC, these exchanges also support multiple Altcoins.

Since this guide is on MEXC review, we only provided a brief overview of each of these exchanges features. So, do your own research to determine which platform is the best crypto trading alternative for MEXC global exchange.

How Many Cryptocurrencies Are Available on MEXC?

MEXC offers trading for over 2,700 cryptocurrencies, which is more crypto support than the majority of exchanges, including Binance and Bybit. Trading new altcoins and meme coins is one of the major reasons MEXC is popular in the crypto space.

Is MEXC Safe and Legit to Buy and Sell Crypto?

Yes, MEXC is safe and legit to buy and sell crypto. The platform has been operating since 2018 and has never been hacked or lost user funds. They secure user funds using robust security features like cold wallet storage, multi-sig authorizations, and advanced encryption.

Still, there have been complaints about MEXC locking user funds and delisting tokens without warning. A user claimed that “They banned the account and my team members’ account also. We have more than 50 Dollars on our account. When we contacted them individually they asked me to submit the holding NID and a paper where we write “MEXC Account” and E-mail or UID…”

“…And they list coins randomly and most of them are Honeypot coins. As like GEGS, NGH, Wifceo, LAG etc(Delisted). They are listing honeypot coins and wiping the customers’ funds…”

While some of these complaints are unverified and not settled, MEXC has advanced security protocols in place. They also released a statement when another user allegedly lost over $92k due to account freeze. MEXC acknowledged that there was an abnormal cryptocurrency trading activity in the users account saying;

“Regarding the account restrictions and issues related to futures trading/assets that you have raised, our risk control system and relevant personnel have conducted a thorough examination. It has been identified that there have been abnormal trading activities in your account and associated accounts. In accordance with the terms of use, we have taken measures to recover the losses incurred.”

Another potential concern could be that MEXC is unregulated in most jurisdictions, including the United States, North Korea, Mainland China, and Canada. Nevertheless, this case is no different than other top exchanges in the space facing regulatory challenges in similar regions like Binance and Bybit.

But if you are still concerned about the safety of your digital assets, you can easily take security a step further. Secure your account with two-factor authentication (2FA), address whitelisting for crypto withdrawals, or even complete Advanced KYC if you are a resident of a MEXC-supported country.

Does MEXC Require KYC to Withdraw?

No, MEXC allows users to withdraw without KYC. However, your daily withdrawal limit as an Unverified user is the equivalent of 10 BTC.

What is the MEXC Withdrawal Limit Without KYC?

Without KYC verification, MEXC imposes a withdrawal limit of 10 BTC every 24 hours. You can increase your withdrawal limit by completing either Primary or Advanced KYC. Primary KYC allows withdrawals of up to 80 BTC within 24 hours, while Advanced KYC increases this limit to 200 BTC and includes additional features like OTC trading.

Bitget Overview

Bitget is a cryptocurrency exchange and trading platform that allows users to trade 700+ cryptocurrencies across its spot and futures trading, copy trading, and margin trading interfaces. Established in 2018, the platform has become a top choice for professional and new users.

The crypto exchange offers its products and services to over 45 million registered users worldwide and has a daily trading volume of 10+ billion USDT. In addition to the features, Bitget has become the go-to platform for copy trading, bot trading, and multiple opportunities to earn passive income while trading.

Bitget Exchange is the ideal platform for crypto traders who are looking for an extensive cryptocurrency offering. It supports some of the best cryptocurrencies to buy now and multiple crypto pairs to ensure traders have as many options as they need for a smooth trading experience.

While Bitget has many advantages, one limitation for some users is the mandatory KYC verification process. The goal is to prevent fraudulent actors and money laundering. However, if you are looking for exchanges that allow users to trade without KYC, check out our list of the best no KYC crypto exchanges.

Why Choose Bitget for Crypto Trading?

Here are the reasons you should choose Bitget for cryptocurrency trading.

1. Security

Bitget employs multiple security features to protect users’ funds and data, including cold wallet storage, anti-phishing codes, two-factor authentication, and SSL encryption for data transfer. For instance, when logging in to your account from a new device, you will have to complete a three-step verification, during which Bitget will send unique codes to your phone and email.

Additionally, you must input the code on the authenticator before you can gain access to your account. However, there are more features in place that give users peace of mind. They include

• Proof of Reserves: You cannot know if an exchange has the funds they claim to have except through their proof of reserves. Bitget publishes proof of reserve reports often to assure traders that the exchange has their money kept securely.
• Insurance Fund: Most crypto exchanges lack insurance funds to cover potential losses. As of January 2025, the Bitget insurance fund was valued at approximately $635 million. This fund only covers potential losses from breaches and fraudulent attacks.

To learn more about these security features of Bitget, read this comprehensive Bitget review article mentioned earlier.

2. User Experience

Bitget offers a user-friendly interface across its web and mobile platforms. The exchange has an intuitive design suitable for both beginners and experienced traders. It also allows traders to customize their home screens for quick access to frequently used features.

Traders who are familiar with advanced crypto trading features will also find the TradingView charts for advanced technical analysis perfect for their needs. Besides the user interface, Bitget offers 24/7 customer support through multiple channels, including live chat, email, educational resources, and a comprehensive help center, to assist users with any inquiries.

3. Trading Features

For trading, Bitget offers many options, including spot trading, futures trading, and copy trading. They even offer high leverage and provide trading bots to help investors automate their trades. You can buy and sell crypto easily and take advantage of Bitget’s high liquidity on the spot trading platform.

Traders who are more interested in Bitget futures contracts explore the available trading pairs and open or close positions easily. The dashboard displays trading information, including the 30-day trading information of the particular pair you choose.

Another Bitget stand-out trading feature is the copy trading platform, which allows newbie traders to automatically replicate the trading strategies of experienced traders in spot or futures markets.

4. Competitive Fees

Bitget uses a maker-taker fee structure for spot and futures trades and the fees are way below market average. For spot trades, the platform charges a standard fee of 0.1% for both maker and taker orders. For futures trading, the fees are set at 0.02% for maker orders and 0.06% for taker orders.

You can pay lower fees as your 30-day trading volume increases and your VIP level changes. But before you achieve a higher VIP level, you can take advantage of the 20% discount Bitget offers when traders pay with BGB. 

If you want to reduce the fees by an additional 20% and receive exclusive rewards, use our Bitget referral code to sign up for a new account.

No, OKX exchange is not available in the US. However, they offer Web3 services to US users.

What are OKX Restricted Countries?

OKX exchange has some partially restricted countries, while others are prohibited completely. Users in countries that are not fully restricted have limited access to the platform’s services. Some of them include:

• Belgium, Japan, Malaysia, and Cuba: Users in these locations are restricted from using margin and derivatives-related services, including futures, perpetual, and options trading.
• Canada: Existing users can access OKX, but new OKX  account registrations are not allowed at the time we write this review.
• Hong Kong: The company’s derivatives services are unavailable in Hong Kong.
• The United Kingdom, the Bahamas, and the Netherlands: These countries are prohibited from using the platform’s derivatives-related services.

Note: Potential users from most of these countries cannot currently register on OKX. Only existing traders can use the permitted products and services on OKX.

OKX Completely Restricted Countries

OKX crypto trading exchange is unavailable to traders in the United States and its territories, Belgium, France, Iran, Cuba, Bangladesh, North Korea, Bolivia, Malta, Crimea, Syria, Donetsk and Luhansk regions, and Ireland.

The company might update the list of restricted countries as regulations in those locations evolve. If you are interested in using their services, regularly check for updates or, better still, explore other alternatives.

What are OKX Trading Fees?

OKX trading fees are based on the market taker and maker model like many other exchanges. OKX exchange has low trading fees, starting at 0.10% for takers and 0.08% for makers, and higher VIP-level traders will pay lower fees than this standard.

The maker is the trader who created a limit order to sell their crypto. Because this order is not filled immediately, some exchanges, including OKX, charge them lower fees because they add liquidity to the platform. On the flip side, the taker picks up an existing order or purchases the crypto the maker sells from the order book. These traders want their orders filled immediately, thereby taking liquidity away from the platform.

For example, if the current ETH lowest ask price is 2,700 USDT and you create a maker order with a bid price of 2570 USDT, this order cannot be filled immediately. OKX will enter it into the order book until someone (a taker) fills it.

Here is a rundown of the fees for spot, futures, options, and spreads trading on the OKX crypto exchange.

1. Spot Trading Fees

OKX charges regular users 0.10% for takers and 0.08% for makers. The spot interface allows users to buy or sell crypto immediately or when the particular coin reaches a specific price, depending on whether they choose a market or limit order.

Since the platform uses a tiered rating that depends on traders’ 30-day trading volume and the number of OKB tokens the traders hold, transaction fees can be discounted to 0%.

Note: The above fees are for USDT pairs. OKX charges less fees for crypto, other stablecoins, and fiat pairs depending on users’ 30-day trading volume.

2. Futures Trading Fees

For futures contracts, OKX charges;

• Taker Fee: 0.05% for non-VIP users.
• Maker Fee: 0.02% for non-VIP users.

The fees are lower for VIP users, with VIP 1 users paying 0.03% (taker) and 0.01% (maker) for futures. The image below summarizes the fees for various VIP levels by trading volume or amount of OKB token the user is holding.

3. Options Trading Fees

OKX transaction fees for options start at 0.02% for makers and 0.03% for takers, and the options fees are calculated differently, even though trading volume is also an important factor here. OKX also charges a forced liquidation fee and an exercise fee, which is not applicable if you initiate a 1-day options that doesn’t expire on Friday.

4. Spreads Trading Fees

A 50% discount applies to the standard fee rate for all users on spread trading fees. So, if you are VIP 1 opening a BTC/USDT-margined perpetual spread, the transaction fee will be 0.04% for makers and 0.05 for takers.

What are the Best Features of OKX Crypto Exchange?

The best features of OKX are the OKX trading bot, OKX copy trading, OKX wallet, and OKX mobile app. Here’s a rundown of these features and how they ensure a smooth trading experience for beginners and advanced traders alike.

OKX Trading Bot

The trading platform offers about 11 bots to help users automate their trades and earn even when they are inactive. The grids include spot and futures grid, futures DCA, smart arbitrage, spot DCA (martingale), recurring buy, signal bot, iceberg, TWAP, smart portfolio, and arbitrage.

Here is a breakdown of how some of these bots help you earn more without constantly monitoring your trades.

1. Spot Grid

The Spot grid mode splits your starting funds between the two digital assets of your chosen trading pair, say BTC/USDT. The bot then creates a grid of price points between the upper and lower limits and divides your capital equally between the number of grids used.

The bot automatically buys more of the asset when the price drops to a lower grid level. Then, when the price rises to an upper grid level, the spot grid bot automatically sells some of the assets.

Each time the price reaches the upper grid line, the bot automatically sells a portion of the asset and buys the traded asset when the price reaches the lower grid line. You make money from the difference between the prices at which the bot buys and sells.

2. Futures Grid

The futures grid aims to make money from price fluctuations within a range. OKX offers various types of futures grid strategies:

• Long Futures Grid: The bot buys futures at the current price and sells them when the price rises. This strategy is best for markets that are expected to go up but still have some volatility.
• Short Futures Grid: The bot sells futures at the current price and buys them back when the price drops. This strategy is best for markets that expect to go down but still have some volatility.
• Neutral Futures Grid: The bot trades in both directions, buying when the price is low and selling when it’s high, no matter the market trend.

The goal of the futures grid is to earn small profits from each price movement, whether the market is going up or down or staying within a range.

3. Smart Arbitrage

OKX smart arbitrage helps traders make steady profits while reducing the risk of price changes in the market. It uses a Delta-neutral strategy, which means holding equal but opposite positions in two markets:

• Buying a cryptocurrency in the spot market (long position).
• Selling the same cryptocurrency in the perpetual swap market (short position).

This bot helps balance gains and losses, so price changes have less impact, and profits come from funding fees earned during the holding period. There are two types of smart arbitrage strategies on OKX:

• Custom Mode: You choose your strategy and set profit targets.
• Smart Mode: The system recommends the best strategy and automatically manages profit-taking, stop-loss, and adjustments.

Unlike smart arbitrage, there are four ways to set up the OKX futures and spot bots. You can either set the parameters based on your analysis, fill in parameters recommended by the crypto trading bot, use AI strategy, or copy lead traders’ winning bots.

OKX Copy Trading

OKX copy trading is a program that allows new users to copy strategies from more advanced traders and automatically execute them in the spot or futures markets. When you copy a seasoned trader, you will imitate their trades and automatically open and close positions when the trader you copy opens or closes theirs.

Transaction fees for the trades users copy are usually the same as the regular fees for the user’s tier level. However, you will need to share your profit with the lead trader, usually about 8 – 13% of your results. Additionally, you can set a maximum amount per order and a maximum amount for the trader you are copying.

For instance, you can set your maximum amount per order at 50 USDT and your maximum amount for the trader at 500 USDT.  After the lead trader has opened 10 positions, you will have an invested margin of 500 USDT, which is your maximum limit. So, if the trader opens an eleventh position, you won’t copy them.

OKX Wallet

OKX Wallet is now one of the best-decentralized wallets on the market. It supports many blockchain networks and enables users to access and explore the Web3 world. Unlike the OKXX exchange, with the OKX wallet, you have full control of your assets and private keys because the wallet is entirely decentralized and non-custodial.

The OKX Web3 wallet is designed to provide a full-fledged and seamless Web3 experience. It has a built-in DEX aggregator for multi-chain and cross-chain transactions, so you can switch between supported networks instead of creating multiple wallets on various chains.

Additionally, you can engage in yield farming, go through the NFT marketplace, and explore over 1,000 DApp protocols. Now, here are the benefits of using the OKX web3 wallet:

• Gives you full control and ownership of your assets and wallet.
• Quick crypto withdrawals without an approval process, unlike crypto exchanges.
• Multi-chain wallet that automatically recognizes and connects to different blockchain technology networks without requiring manual user switching.
• Manage crypto assets on over 60 chains, including Ethereum, Aptos, Optimism, and BSC.
• Available on iOS, Android, and web browsers.

Remember that the OKX Web3 wallet does not save your seed phrase, private key, or password; you are responsible for these.

OKX Mobile App

OKX offers a mobile app with a user-friendly interface for buying, selling, trading, and managing crypto even when you are on the move. Unlike the desktop interface, the OKX app provides a simple and clean view, perfect for beginners, and an advanced mode for more experienced traders.

The OKX app is available on Apple Store and Play Store, and the registration process is straightforward. While the mobile app version is faster and more user-friendly, it still has all the tools available on the web interface and everything you need to manage your digital assets.

With a few taps, you can easily buy, sell, and convert crypto using fiat or other crypto assets, even though fiat withdrawals may not be as smooth as crypto withdrawals. Users can also explore the various trading options, set limits, and market orders with TP/SL, trail stops, etc., as you would do in the desktop version.

In addition, the OKX app offers margin trading with leverage of up to 10X. For derivatives, its futures contracts and perpetual swaps have leverage up to 125X, and you can set alerts to receive notifications when specific changes occur in your trades.

How to Open New Account and Trade on OKX?

Follow these steps to open an account and trade on OKX.

Step 1: Select your country or region and agree to the terms and privacy agreement, then click “Next.”

Step 2: Use your email to register and add the OKX referral code “CNJREVIEW.”

Step 3: OKX will email you a verification code. Once you add the code, it’s time to verify your number. They will send you another code via text.

Step 4: Create a secure password to protect your OKX account. We recommend creating at least a 12-word long password.

Step 5: Verify your identity by completing the KYC verification process. OKX will verify your documents within 24 hours.

To start trading crypto on OKX, follow the following steps:

Step 1: Deposit Funds

You need to fund your OKX account to begin cryptocurrency trading on OKX. You can deposit cryptocurrency from another wallet or use fiat options like credit cards (Visa, Mastercard), bank transfers, or peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions.

If you want to deposit crypto, go to the ‘Assets’ tab and select ‘Deposit.’ Choose the cryptocurrency and the network you want to deposit. Then, transfer the cryptocurrency to the generated wallet address.

Step 2: Choose Your Trading Method

Go to the ‘Trade’ section to see the various trading options OKX crypto exchange offers. Depending on the kind of trade you want to do, choose between spot or derivatives (futures, margin, and perpetual swaps).

For beginners, starting with the spot market or using the copy trading tool to imitate experienced traders is advisable.

Step 3: Place Your First Trade

Select the pair you want from the spot or futures market, like PEPE/USDT or BTC/USDT. Since this is your first trade, we recommend you use a small amount of money to trade.

Use the order window on the right to place buy or sell orders. You can choose between different order types:

• Market Orders: Execute immediately at current prices.
• Limit Orders: Set a specific price you want to buy or sell crypto.
• Stop Orders: Execute when a certain price condition is met.

Finally, confirm your order, and it will be executed according to the order types you choose.

Does OKX Require KYC?

Yes, OKX does require KYC. The process is similar to that of other exchanges. To confirm your identity, you must submit personal identification documents, such as a selfie, a passport, or a driver’s license. Ensure that the information on your ID matches the region/country you picked during the account registration process.

Is OKX Safe and Legit to Trade Crypto and Bitcoin?

OKX is safe and legitimate to trade crypto and Bitcoin. The platform is considered as one of the best cryptocurrency exchanges with the cleanest interfaces. It is designed with simple and advanced modes to cater to various users. Additionally, if you are a beginner, the mobile app is better for learning, and you don’t have to worry about missing anything because it has all the features on the desktop version.

OKX offers some security features, including offline asset storage, a risk shield, multi-factor authentication, passkeys, anti-phishing codes, and withdrawal address whitelisting.

1. Cold Wallet Storage

95% of assets on OKX are stored in offline wallets, which are not susceptible to hacks and security breaches. The company limits how much cryptocurrency can be stored in a single cold wallet address to further protect user funds assets stored offline.

Each address can hold a maximum of 1,000 BTC. This spreads the total amount of offline assets across multiple wallets, preventing a single point of failure. Once the funds in one cold wallet are withdrawn, new deposits will no longer be received.

2. OKX Risk Shield

OKX crypto exchange sets aside a percentage of the platform’s assets, over $700 million, to safeguard money and users from potential breaches. The risk fund is similar to Binance’s Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU), which protects against security breaches and market volatility.

3. Multi-factor Authentication

Once you open an account on OKX, it is important to up your security. You can do this through the profile icon. There, you will find various security measures to activate.

Start with two-factor authentication (2FA), then activate passkeys and authenticators. If you decide to activate the Google Authenticator app, keep the code you will be given safely. If you lose your phone or change devices, you can use it to log in to your authenticator app.

4. Anti-phishing Codes

This security feature allows users to double-proof their account security. When you activate it, OKX will email you a code that helps you differentiate between legitimate communications and suspicious emails.

5. Proof of Reserves

OKX published their December 2024 proof of reserve data and they’re holding over USD 30.8 billion in reserves. This includes some of the most popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (105%), Ethereum (102%), and stablecoins such as Tether USDT (106%) and USD Coin (100%).

The PoR is published monthly, and the company uses advanced cryptographic methods, including zero-knowledge proofs, to ensure full transparency while protecting user privacy. You can independently verify your assets through OKX’s dashboard and public wallet addresses.

6. Withdrawal Address Whitelisting

OKX allows users to choose which wallet addresses are allowed for withdrawals through the address whitelisting feature. Any address outside the pre-approved addresses will automatically be blocked. So, even if someone tries to hack into your account, they cannot move funds to any address since they are not on the list.

• Bank of America has added focused leadership for its global digital assets platform.
• The move is part of the bank’s broader modernization of financial infrastructure alongside its AI initiatives.
• It follows other Wall Street moves to ratchet up investments in tokenization, custody and blockchain settlement.

Bank of America is making another move towards adoption of digital assets in its core business. The banking giant has appointed new executives to take forward its digital assets platform, scaled up artificial intelligence programmes, and highlighted its move into a blockchain-enabled world.

Bank of America Strengthens Its Digital Assets Strategy

It was reported that Bank of America has named Sonali Theisen as the new leader of its global digital assets platform. The move follows a series of other initiatives the bank has launched in the field of financial infrastructure for blockchain solutions, which are not focused on cryptocurrency trading.

Theisen will remain in charge of the bank’s Global FICC electronic trading and markets strategic investments, and will also be tasked with building, expanding and managing the bank’s digital assets platform. Her expanded role shows that Bank of America is bringing its blockchain efforts into the fold of its core business in institutional markets, rather than operating as an experimental business.

The digital assets platform will be used for tokenized deposits, crypto custody, blockchain settlement, digital collateral mobility and various other stablecoin-related infrastructure.

Digital Assets and AI Become Connected Priorities

In addition to its crypto-related leadership shufflings, Bank of America named Kevin Milsom to head its global markets platforms for AI transformation. The dual roles indicate that the bank sees AI and blockchain technology as complementary, with the potential to enhance the trading operations, automation, risk management, and market infrastructure.

The AI move comes as part of the bank’s tech strategy, as executives last year revealed its intentions to spend billions of dollars on artificial intelligence to boost productivity and create new revenue streams. Integrating AI with the digital asset infrastructure could further simplify settlement, boost compliance checks, and optimize operations in the institutional sector.

Wall Street Competition Around Crypto Continues to Intensify

As large financial companies scramble to claim a more prominent place in digital assets, Bank of America’s new organizational reshuffle comes at the right time. Banks are not just investing time in crypto trading, but are also increasingly putting resources into tokenization, blockchain settlement, regulated custody, and digital payment infrastructure.

Morgan Stanley has kept rolling out their digital asset business, and other global financial companies have launched career positions with a blockchain focus or now looked at blockchain-based financial products. In the years to come, blockchain technology is expected to be a major part of institutional finance, which is reflected in this increased competition.

The new hires also come on the heels of Bank of America’s previous digital asset initiatives. The lender has previously investigated tokenized deposits, stablecoins and crypto-related services, suggesting its blockchain approach isn’t limited to recent executive reshuffles.

Galaxy Builds a Texas Crypto and AI Footprint

The deal comes after Galaxy has been expanding its Helios data center campus in Dickens County, some 60 miles east of Lubbock. The plant has a high capacity of 1.6 gigawatts for high-performance computing for supporting AI and other intensive work demands.

Helios has an existing talent pipeline to Texas Tech, as many students have gone on to work at Helios, Galaxy said.

The partnership could also lead to future projects involving artificial intelligence, academic research, workforce development and commercial applications across West Texas. For Galaxy, the relationship links its digital asset business with a broader push into the infrastructure powering the emerging “code economy.”

Novogratz Signals Long-Term Texas Commitment

In a post on X, Novogratz celebrated the deal with a distinctly Texas-style message, saying he had bought cowboy hats and boots and was excited to build roots in the state.

I bought cowboy hats and boots!! Already had a great belt collection! Couldn’t be more excited to partner with @TexasTech !! Galaxy plans to be in Texas a long time and we are putting in roots!! https://t.co/szHDBKDOe7

— Mike Novogratz (@novogratz) July 17, 2026

The agreement represents a more significant investment in Texas for Galaxy in the development of data center capacity as well as digital asset infrastructure. The company aims to invest in the region for future growth, job creation and economic activity, the company said.

The deal will provide Texas Tech with a fresh revenue source, and will bring a tech partner to its athletics fold. To Galaxy, the 15-year agreement places its brand directly up next to a top sports college brand and extends its reach to the elite talent and economic ecosystem it has in West Texas.

SBI Expands Its Singapore Crypto Footprint

SBI took over the shareholding of Coinhako’s parent company, Holdbuild Pte., from Prime for the acquisition. A business unit of LG Electronics Ltd., its Singapore subsidiary SBI Ventures Asset Pte. Ltd. The acquisition will result in Coinhako becoming an integrated subsidiary of SBI Holdings.

One of Singapore’s registered crypto exchanges, Coinhako is run by Hako Technology, which has a license as a MAS PCL. It has a broader group, comprising crypto-asset service provider Alpha Hako, which is licensed by the Financial Services Commission of the British Virgin Islands (BVIFSC).

The deal bolsters Japan’s financial group in its Asian-Pacific digital asset strategy, with SBI making Singapore its first acquisition hub in the region.

A New Japan – Southeast Asia Crypto Corridor

SBI is looking to merge Coinhako’s regional customer base with his financial infrastructure, technology and international network.

According to the group, it aims to develop various services linking Japan and Southeast Asia in the crypto trading and tokenization, stablecoin and cross-border payment and settlement areas.

JPYSC Could Become a Key Piece

The acquisition also fits into SBI’s effort in developing yen-based stable currencies via Startale, JPYSC. SBI says the integration with the group’s comprehensive digital finance services could potentially extend to broader cross-sections of the market, providing additional use cases for digital assets in the region.

Singapore is a key hub to create a global digital asset corridor that enables investors to gain from international and currency exposure, said Yukio Kitao, the CEO of SBI.

Acquisition provides Yusho Liu’s company with institutional scale and an expanded ecosystem for developing its next generation of digital financial services, said Coinhako co-founder and CEO, Yusho Liu.

SBI plans to keep going with tokenized assets, stablecoins, on-chain financial products and cross-border transactions, all subject to the strictures of the jurisdictions of markets it wishes to operate in.

The transaction also highlights SBI’s overall digital asset approach, which is highlighted by the platforms of traditional financial institutions expanding through Asia more and more on regulated crypto platforms.

• Through Oct.15, Binance has limited-time 3x trading volume multiplier on bStocks for Affiliate Spot Evaluations.
• All $1 spot trading in bStocks equals 3$ towards the requirements, while there is no change in the commission rates.
• The campaign is designed to help encourage upgrades for affiliates and boost adoption of Binance’s tokenized securities product.

Binance has rolled out a new incentive designed to help affiliates climb its referral program faster by rewarding bStocks trading with triple evaluation volume. The promotion, available for three months, focuses on Spot Evaluation metrics rather than increasing direct commission payouts.

Binance Launches 3x bStocks Incentive for Affiliates

The exchange announced that eligible affiliates can receive a 3x trading volume multiplier when referrals trade bStocks, Binance’s tokenized securities product. It automatically gets applied to a campaign from July 16 until Oct. 15, 2026 and there is no extra registration required.

To comply with the promotion, every dollar traded on bStocks is considered three dollar volumes for the quarterly trading volumes where they determine commission tiers among the affiliates.

Binance will treat the volume of bStocks trading as $100,000 to calculate the amount ($300,000) which contributed to the outcome of the campaign if they are referred to in the campaign. Their actual commission to be paid on those trades, however, will remain in line with the platform’s trade rates.

Higher Trading Volume Can Unlock Better Commission Rates

Binance’s Affiliate Program has a tiered evaluation system which includes referring trading volume and the number of new active traders.

The affiliate’s commission is at 20% initially and will reach 50% commissions at the maximum level. To be promoted to the higher levels, substantial referral trading volume and a specified number of newly active Spot or Margin traders is required per assessment period.

Promotion Targets Affiliate Growth Instead of Direct Rewards

Binance is doing their utmost to shorten the period required to meet trading requirements.

The promotion also ushers Binance’s ongoing efforts in the space of real-world assets tokenization. bStocks are certificates issued by Binance’s affiliate BTech Holdings Limited.

They give exposure to publicly listed securities underlying the securities that the issuer holds, but are not direct equity shareholders, nor do they entitle the purchaser to exercise rights as shareholders.

bStocks Remain Available Only in Eligible Markets

Binance reiterated that the bStocks are being made available to eligible users in approved jurisdictions only, and are made available to bStocks users pursuant to an approved bStocks prospectus in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). Only available in certain countries due to local regulations.

Only qualified Binance affiliates can benefit from the campaign. The same exclusion rules applicable to the standard program remain in effect such as sub-accounts, brokers, Binance Wealth users, restricted country users, and those who break the referral policy of the Binance program.

The move has introduced a totally new opportunity for the Binance partners to engage in one of Binance’s newer crypto-financial products, alongside expanding a core initiative of regulated on-chain investment products.

When you sign up with this promo code, you unlock a range of benefits, including a generous sign-up bonus and extra referral bonuses.

These perks not only make trading more exciting but can also boost your earnings. In this article, we will explore everything you need to know about using the Bybit referral code and how to use it.

What is the Bybit Referral Code?

A Bybit referral code is a special promotional code you use when signing up on a platform. It gives you extra referral rewards and discounts on your trading fees. It functions similarly to an invite code, providing additional benefits upon joining through it.

The best Bybit referral code is “CNJREFERRAL”, which you can use when signing up for the Bybit exchange. This invite code gives you some excellent perks right from the start.

How Does It Work?

The Bybit referral code works as a special promotional offer, similar to what many crypto exchanges provide to attract new users. You simply type “CNJREFERRAL” in the referral code box during registration.

Bybit uses this invite code as a way to welcome new traders with bonuses and perks. With “CNJREFERRAL”, you get up to $30,000 USDT as a sign-up bonus. The amount of this bonus varies based on your deposit and trading activity. Bybit automatically applies rewards and discounts after you meet any deposit or activity requirements.

Bybit Referral Code Benefits

Using Bybit’s referral code “CNJREFERRAL” unlocks an impressive set of welcome rewards. These bonuses are Bybit’s way of attracting new users to their platform by making trading more affordable and rewarding right from the start.

With this code, you receive up to $30,020 in rewards. These rewards are structured to encourage larger deposits and more frequent trading. For example:

• A $20 welcome bonus is available immediately after you register.
• You can then earn further deposit bonuses up to $30,000 based on the amount you deposit and trade.

Plus, new users may also receive VIP status upgrades and other exclusive benefits. These upgrades can provide extra trading tools, premium customer support, and even further trading fee reductions.

Discounts on Trading Fees

One of the biggest advantages of using the “CNJREFERRAL” is the trading fee discount of up to 30%. This is particularly helpful for active traders, as it reduces the fees on every transaction. This way, you get to keep more of your profits, and it helps to offset some of the costs associated with high-frequency trading.

Bonus Rewards

Bybit’s referral bonus structure rewards new users with extra funds for trading. For example, if you deposit $3,000 and trade $10,000, you would earn a $100 bonus. For larger commitments, such as a $250,000 deposit and $150 million in trades, you can earn the maximum $30,000 bonus.

Here’s a breakdown of the potential rewards based on deposit and trading levels:

• $15: For depositing $100 and trading $100
• $50: For depositing $1,000 and trading $2,000
• $100: For depositing $3,000 and trading $10,000
• $350: For depositing $10,000 and trading $100,000
• $800: For depositing $50,000 and trading $1.5 million
• $5,000: For depositing $100,000 and trading $8 million
• $8,800: For depositing $125,000 and trading $50 million
• $15,000: For depositing $150,000 and trading $75 million
• $30,000: For depositing $250,000 and trading $150 million

Over 80% of new users reportedly win $100 or more through these bonuses. These bonuses are credited directly to your account, which you can then use to trade further on Bybit’s platform. This setup encourages active trading and rewards traders with substantial deposits.

Step 2: Complete KYC Verification

Bybit requires all users to complete Know Your Customer (KYC) verification to ensure security and comply with regulatory standards. This process is straightforward and, once completed, unlocks access to the full range of Bybit’s services, including deposit options, withdrawals, and trading.

To start KYC verification, log in to your Bybit account and go to the “Account & Security” section, which you’ll find in the profile section. Click on “Verify Identity” and select “Individual Verification”.

Currently, there are offers two KYC levels on Bybit, including Basic and Advanced.While the Basic verification grants you access to most features, the Advanced level provides higher withdrawal limits of up to $2 million per day. For the sign-up bonus eligibility, completing the Basic verification level should suffice.

During the KYC process, you’ll need to provide basic information like your name, date of birth, and address. In order to verify your identity, you will also need to upload a valid government-issued ID, like a passport or driver’s license, and take a live selfie.

Once you submit these documents, the Bybit team will review and verify your information, typically within a few hours. Upon successful verification, you’ll receive a notification that your account is KYC-approved, allowing you to move forward with funding your account.

Step 3: Deposit Funds

Now that your account is set up and KYC verified, you can deposit funds into your Bybit wallet. Bybit offers several deposit methods, making it convenient for users worldwide to add funds.

Here are the deposit options you can explore:

One-Click Buy

The One-Click Buy option on Bybit enables you to purchase cryptocurrency directly using fiat currency, which is helpful if you’re new to crypto and don’t yet own digital assets.

Simply select the “Buy Crypto” tab from the main menu and choose the One-Click Buy option. Here, you can select the currency you wish to buy (such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or USDT) and your preferred fiat payment method, including credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, and bank transfers.

The One-Click Buy feature automatically converts your fiat money to the selected cryptocurrency and deposits it into your Bybit wallet, usually within minutes.

P2P Trading

Bybit’s Peer-to-Peer (P2P) trading platform is a flexible option for users who prefer to purchase crypto directly from other users. In the P2P section, you’ll find a variety of offers with different payment options, including bank transfers, PayPal, and popular digital wallets.

You can select the best offer based on your preferred payment method and the amount you want to buy. Once you choose an offer, the crypto is held in escrow by Bybit until the payment is confirmed.

Crypto Deposit

If you already have cryptocurrency in another wallet, you can transfer it directly to your Bybit wallet. To do this, navigate to the “Assets” tab and select “Deposit”.

You’ll then see a list of supported cryptocurrencies. Choose the crypto you wish to deposit, and Bybit will provide a wallet address for you to transfer your funds to.

Be sure to use the correct blockchain network to avoid any delays or lost funds. Once the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, the funds will appear in your Bybit wallet.

Step 4: Start Trading Futures Contracts

Now that you have funds in your Bybit account, you’re ready to start trading. Bybit’s platform is known for its robust futures trading, allowing you to trade different crypto derivatives with leverage. To start, go to the “Derivatives” section, where you’ll see options like USDT perpetual, Inverse perpetual, and options contracts.

Bybit lets you trade with leverage up to 100x on futures contracts. This means you can boost the size of your positions and potential gains. However, keep in mind that higher leverage also increases the risk, so it’s wise to start with lower leverage if you’re new to trading.

You can choose a trading pair like BTC/USDT or ETH/USDT and decide whether to go long (buy) or short (sell) based on where you think the price is heading. Once you set your trade, you’ll see details about potential profit, loss, and your liquidation price. This helps you make informed choices before confirming your trade.

Bybit also has a range of trading tools, including charts, technical indicators, and risk management tools like stop-loss and take-profit orders. These tools make it easier to analyze the market and manage your trades effectively.

Step 5: Get $30,000 Sign-Up Bonus

Once you’ve made your initial trades, you’ll be eligible to claim Bybit’s sign-up bonus, which can go up to $30,000 based on your deposit amount, trading volume, and other promotions, as discussed above.

To view and claim your bonus, go to the “Rewards Hub” in your Bybit account. Here, you’ll see details about your bonuses and any other steps you need to complete. Once approved, your bonus will be added directly to your account. You can use this bonus to open more trades, pay for trading fees, or add to your margin balance.

Note: You will not be able to withdraw the bonus itself, but you can trade with it and withdraw any profits made from those trades.

What Happens If the Referral Code Is Ineffective?

If the referral code is ineffective, a few things could happen. First, you might miss out on any referral bonuses or rewards typically offered through the referral program, such as trading fee discounts or deposit bonuses. This means you won’t receive the benefits that could have enhanced your trading experience.

Additionally, if you entered the code incorrectly or it expired, you may need to re-register or seek assistance from customer support. They can provide guidance on whether you can resolve the issue or if you require a new code.

You can check if the referral code is working by looking for a green tick mark, which indicates that the code has been successfully applied. It’s always a beneficial idea to double-check the referral code and ensure it’s still valid before signing up.

Bybit Referral Program and Affiliate Program

The Referral Program on Bybit is perfect if you’re simply inviting a few friends to join Bybit and use its various features. With this program, you can earn rewards totaling over 1,710 USDT by inviting friends to trade in different sections, like Spot, Derivatives, and even Bybit’s Copy Trading platform.

You will receive a 30% commission on your friend’s trading fees, and there are additional bonuses for specific activities.

• 1025 USDT in general rewards: This is based on your friend’s overall activity on Bybit, making it ideal if they’re actively trading on the platform.
• 665 USDT from Copy Trading Rewards: Bybit’s Copy Trading option allows your friend to mirror the trades of top traders, and you’ll earn up to 665 USDT from their participation in this feature.
• 20 USDT for every Bybit Card referral: If your friend decides to apply for the Bybit Card, you’ll get 20 USDT in rewards per referral, making this a beneficial reward.

A fun extra is that you can also earn a “mystery box” each time one of your referrals hits at least $10,000 in trading volume. This mystery box has rewards that could be worth up to 1,000 USDT, making it an attractive option for users with active trading friends.

Bybit’s referral program is straightforward: you share your referral link or code, your friends sign up, and as they start using Bybit’s products, you receive rewards based on their usage. The program seamlessly applies your earnings without any additional steps, tracking everything automatically.

People with larger followings, such as influencers, bloggers, or anyone with a substantial audience in the crypto world, can benefit from Bybit’s Affiliate Program. Unlike the referral program, which is more short-term, the affiliate program offers a steady, lifetime income based on the activity of your referred users.

Affiliates can earn up to a 50% commission on all trades made by their referrals, with an extra 10% if one of their referrals becomes an affiliate themselves.

The affiliate program also comes with a range of support tools and perks. Affiliates get access to a specialized portal where they can view their earnings, access detailed analytics, and explore promotional materials for Bybit’s latest products. Bybit also guarantees timely payments, utilizing daily calculations and swift processing to ensure regular payouts.

Beyond that, Bybit’s affiliate community offers unique opportunities for networking, with invites to global events such as cryptocurrency conferences, VIP access to Red Bull Racing events, and even exclusive Bybit parties where affiliates and VIP traders can connect.

What is the Binance Futures Referral Code?

Binance futures referral code is a unique identifier that you can use when setting up your futures trading account to qualify for additional trading fee discounts. This promo code is different from the one you use during registration. 

The best Binance futures referral code gives you a 10% discount on futures trading fees plus the standard discount you got as a new user bonus.

Now, if you are asking whether you can use the same code for Binance and Binance futures, the answer is no. You cannot use the one referral code for Binance (Spot) and Binance Futures.

The spot trading invite code is entered during the account registration process. In contrast, the Binance Futures referral code is applied when activating your Binance Futures account. However, the general Binance referral code can also get you discounts on futures trading fees.

What is the Binance US Referral Code?

Binance US referral code is a specific promo code that only Binance traders in the United States can use due to regulatory differences. Binance is the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume. It serves 200+ million users globally, but the global platform is unavailable in the US.

The platform uses Binance US to cater to the needs of traders in the United States. The crypto exchange adheres to local regulations and offers services different from those on the general exchange, including less support for digital assets.

By using the Binance US referral code, you can reduce transaction costs by 10% and become eligible for an initial $10 in cash bonus when you make your first deposit of $100 or more.

What Types of Binance Referral Code Bonus?

The types of Binance referral code bonuses are signup, futures, and standard referral bonuses.

Signup Bonus

The signup bonus qualifies new users to earn up to $100 USDT by completing specific tasks within a set timeframe, such as making a deposit and executing a trade. They can also become eligible for other signup bonuses like fee rebates, $5 cash vouchers for P2P, and $50 spot cashback vouchers for crypto deposits.

Futures Referral Bonus

The futures referral bonus helps you earn up to a 10% discount on transaction fees. As a new user, your futures trading fees for USD-M and COIN-M Futures are 0.0200%/0.0500% for makers and takers, respectively.

Binance fees are calculated based on traders’ 30-day trading volume, so investors who trade frequently and those with high trading volume or high VIP pay less.

But with the additional 10% discount, you can reduce your fees to 0.0180%/0.0450%. If you trade on USD-M contracts, you will get an extra 10% discount when you pay your trading fees with Binance coin, BNB.

Standard Referral Bonus

The Standard referral bonus is the most common type of bonus that comes with the Binance referral code. This code usually offers users a fixed signup bonus, such as the $100 USDT reward mentioned earlier.

In addition to the fixed reward, the standard bonus also helps new traders save money on trading fees. The good thing about the standard referral bonus on the Binance platform is that rewards are consistent and not tied to specific promotional events.

What is the Binance Referral ID

Binance Referral ID is an optional code like this one, P8DEY0JB that users can enter during registration on Binance for rewards. This code allows new users to access benefits such as discounts on trading fees (up to 20% on spot and 10% on futures), up to $100 sign up bonus, and other welcome rewards like cashbacks and vouchers.

What are the Benefits of a Binance Referral Code?

The benefits of a Binance referral code are trading fees discounts, signup rewards, commission earnings, and access to event-based rewards.

• Trading Fee Discounts: If you are a new user on Binance and you signup with this Binance referral ID, P8DEY0JB, you will receive a 20% discount on spot trading fees and 10% on futures fees for life.
• Sign Up Bonuses: In addition to the lifetime discounts on trades, you can earn a $100 worth of USDT after meeting specific deposit criteria (usually between the $50 deposit mark).
• Commission Earnings: When you use the Binance promo code to register, you can earn referral commissions and rewards on monthly campaigns, and Binance challenges. The only downside to commision earnings is that they have expiration dates, and once it’s past that date, you will have to wait for another campaign.
• Event-based Rewards: Binance referral ID makes you eligible to participate in exclusive Binance promotions, campaigns, and airdrop events. You can earn extra rewards if you participate in promotions and win or join an airdrop campaign before their expiration date.

You need only one referral code to get these rewards, but to qualify, you must open a new Binance account using this Binance referral code, P8DEY0JB. You will not be eligible for rewards if you sign up on the Binance crypto exchange platform without this promo code.

• Argentine authorities froze 25 crypto wallets linked to the LIBRA token and requested user data from major exchanges.
• Investigators traced funds across Solana and Tron, uncovering cross-chain transfers and transaction-splitting activity.
• The case highlights the growing use of blockchain forensics and exchange KYC data in crypto investigations.

A federal court in Argentina announced the freezing of dozens of crypto wallets belonging to the investigation of the controversial LIBRA token, entering a new stage. The action is designed to stop more transfers from taking place and to identify the people behind the wallets and track the movement of money through several different blockchain networks.

Argentina Targets 25 Wallets in LIBRA Investigation

A federal judge ordered the freezing of 25 cryptocurrency wallets that are suspected to be involved in the investigation of the LIBRA cryptocurrency token. The decision also requires Binance, Bybit, OKX, CoinEx, Bitfinex, and FixedFloat, the six biggest crypto exchanges, to share Know Your Customer (KYC) data, transaction logs, IP logs, linked bank accounts, and other account information for the addresses being flagged.

The order comes after Argentina’s Federal Police cybercrime unit carried out a technical investigation to trace digital assets from a group of wallets they had dubbed the “Team LIBRA Wallets. Investigators used blockchain forensic methods to trace assets through several wallets and into centralized exchanges.

Blockchain Analysis Reveals Cross-Chain Fund Movement

Investigators Track Assets from Solana to Tron

The bulk of the money was transferred from Solana to Tron via an interoperability solution and then settled in a number of addresses, according to the forensic report. The investigators claim the swaps took place within a few seconds, enabling cross-chain transfers without the need for a centralized exchange platform, which is typically required for conventional cross-chain transactions.

The report also noted a tendency to break bigger balances into smaller transactions, a practice known as “smurfing”. Transactions on the blockchain are public and this can make it more difficult to investigate and more time-consuming to recover assets if multiple wallets and networks are used.

Because of their ability to facilitate the interoperability of different blockchains, cross-chain bridges have become a staple in the crypto ecosystem. But, the use of cryptocurrencies has become a hot topic for law enforcement across the globe, particularly in the context of fast wallet fragmentation.

Exchanges Face Greater AML Scrutiny

This new court order is further evidence of the importance of centralized exchanges in crypto enforcement. While wallet analytics can provide details on the transactions made by wallets, determining the identity of the wallet owners usually requires access to exchange KYC and compliance data.

The LIBRA investigation is a hallmark of the growing trend of multi-jurisdictional AML surveillance and on-chain forensics by regulators and law enforcement. Investigators are being provided with more tools to link blockchain activity to verified customer identities, as more exchanges improve their compliance programs.

• Citadel Securities led Crypto.com’s first institutional round, which came in at $400 million at a valuation of $20bn.
• The investment will support expansion into tokenized securities, derivatives, and broader digital financial infrastructure.
• Both companies view crypto as the backbone for the future of 24/7 financial services and the future of capital markets.

Crypto.com has reached a major milestone by announcing a $400 million strategic investment from Citadel Securities, marking the company’s first institutional fundraising round in its 10-year history.

The transaction valuation of said crypto platform places its market cap at $20 billion, and shows an emerging sentiment of traditional financial institutions in the past few years to invest in the crypto platform infrastructure.

Crypto.com Secures Landmark Institutional Backing

The investment comes amid the growing integration of blockchain technologies in the financial sector by institutional entities. Crypto.com, instead of just relying on crypto trading, will allocate the proceeds towards various asset types such as tokenized securities and crypto derivatives.

The investment, said the company, will help further its long-term initiative to bridge the gap between traditional finance and blockchain infrastructure. To enable a market in which digital assets and traditional financial products can co-exist in a 24/7 ecosystem.

The partnership represents a major advance in the effort to move crypto adoption to the institutional stage, according to Crypto.com’s CEO and co-founder Kris Marszalek. The company has been developing the framework and the technology to accommodate bigger financial institutions over the past 10 years as crypto becomes a more mainstream asset, he said.

Tokenized Assets Become a Strategic Focus

Among the most crucial priorities after the investment is to advance Crypto.com’s footprint in the tokenized financial products space.

Bridging Traditional and Digital Markets

Now another of the industries showing the fastest growth in crypto is tokenization. The companies are looking to settle conventional assets, like stocks, bonds, and other securities, on blockchain networks to produce a much faster settlement, greater market accessibility, and 24-hour trading.

In addition to derivatives, Crypto.com plans to expand its product line in tokenized securities as it aims to become a catalyst between traditional and digital asset markets.

The strategy aligns with wider industry trends, as exchanges, asset managers, and financial institutions continue investing in tokenized real-world assets, stablecoins, and blockchain-based settlement systems.

Citadel Securities Bets on Institutional Crypto Growth

The participation of Citadel Securities also points to greater interest from the already established market infrastructure providers.

Jim Esposito, President of Citadel Securities, said the convergence of traditional financial markets with digital asset infrastructure has the potential to improve efficiency across global capital markets. He said Crypto.com has built a solid foundation to continue institutionalizing the crypto industry.

This investment follows a trend of increased digital assets embedding in the broader macrofinancial infrastructure, as the crypto-native investors traditionally leading this wave of funds are replaced by one of the biggest market-making companies in the world.

• BitPay has received a MiCA license from the Dutch AFM.
• The decision will allow regulated crypto services throughout the EU.
• Its European strategy is still solid coin worldwide payments.

BitPay has accomplished a crucial regulatory milestone in Europe with its authorization under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regime. With the approval, the crypto payment company can expand regulated services throughout the EU with one license.

BitPay Receives MiCA Authorization in the Netherlands

BitPay announced that its Dutch subsidiary, BitPay B.V., has been authorized as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) by the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM). The approval brings the company under the EU’s MiCA framework, creating a unified regulatory foundation for its European operations.

— BitPay (@BitPay) July 16, 2026

The license will allow BitPay to provide regulated crypto service across the European Union, rather than having to go through licensing processes in each European nation. The authorization is for many digital asset services to businesses and consumers, according to the company.

The step comes as MiCA is increasingly gaining traction as the EU’s holistic regulatory framework for crypto businesses looking to operate in a legal landscape with more clarity and certainty as they continue to spread throughout the bloc.

Stablecoins Remain at the Center of Expansion

EU License Supports Cross-Border Crypto Payments

BitPay said the new authorization adds to its capability to assist digital asset payments throughout Europe; whereas stablecoins are projected to make a bigger role in cross-border commerce.

Founded as one of the longest-established crypto payment providers in the industry, BitPay is now the company’s primary goal to enable merchants to receive various cryptocurrencies, while also streamlining settlement and compliance. With MiCA’s passports, all of those services can be scaled up throughout the EU under one regulatory framework.

The approval also coincides with the rise in interest from European enterprises towards blockchain payment systems, especially for international transfers that are quicker and stablecoin settlements.

Europe Becomes a Key Growth Market

Europe has become one of the first significant areas which have taken the step to enact a comprehensive crypto regulatory framework. Given the MiCA authorisation, companies with the approval are able to function more smoothly and efficiently across the bloc and comply with a standard-set of compliance requirements.

BitPay’s strategy through the license is to strengthen its relationships with payment providers and enterprise clients who seek regulated payment methods for cryptocurrencies, as well as with merchants. It also puts the company in a favorable position with regard to the growing appetite of the institutional and commercial markets for compliant digital asset infrastructure.

BitPay was started in 2011 and has been a player since then in many crypto market cycles. The company’s recent regulatory clearance represents yet another advance in its years-long growth plans to keep acquiring appropriate payment service providers and to ensure greater digital asset popularity in Europe.

• Polygon is closing its Coinme deal and moving away from blockchain payment solutions.
• As part of the company’s profitability plan for 2027, the company declared layoffs.
• The shift is driven by the growth in stablecoins and enterprise usage.

Polygon Labs is continuing its evolution from a blockchain infrastructure provider to becoming a more comprehensive organization, having advised on the acquisition of crypto platform Coinme and made changes accordingly.

According to the company, the restructuring process will make Polygon a payments company that can achieve profitability by 2027 with the help of blockchain technology.

Polygon Completes Strategic Shift Toward Payments

Polygon Labs’ CEO Marc Boiron shared the statement on X, stating that it’s in the later stages of the integration of Coinme within its own Labs. The transaction will increase the company’s size and help drive a larger restructuring aimed at long-term financial sustainability.

We are in the final stages of completing the Coinme acquisition, which will involve integrating that team into Polygon Labs, a move that will grow our organization as part of a broader merger exercise to position Polygon Labs to be profitable in 2027. As part of that process,…

— Marc | Polygon Labs (????,⚔️, ※) (@0xMarcB) July 16, 2026

Polygon continues to shave construction costs in its transition, it is reducing its workforce. The decision was tough but necessary, Boiron said, explaining that it is driven by the shift in the company’s business model, not a review of employee performance.

Boiron states that there are priorities that differ between a blockchain-based foundation and a payments-technology company. The restructuring will rationalize teams to be more aligned with products that earn recurring revenue from enterprise customers.

Payments Become Polygon’s Core Business

The company’s recent plan represents a big shift from blockchain infrastructure to payment solutions based on blockchain technology.

Stablecoin Growth Drives the New Direction

Boiron emphasized a number of indicators that backs this trend. The company’s revenue continues to be robust, the traffic volume of coin transactions on the Polygon is also accelerating to new heights, he noted that its pipeline of customers is not only stronger than expected but also expanding consistently.

He also mentioned that Polygon has recently introduced payments as an onchain solution in record time, and the company is confident it will serve as the company’s main growth engine going forward.

The focus is also a testament to the crypto industry’s current trend of rapidly expanding stablecoin adoption in blockchain. Nearly every finance and payment company is now turning to blockchain infrastructure to settle faster, do it at lower costs, and do it across the border.

The transaction with Coinme is anticipated to bolster Polygon’s standing in the digital payments sector, providing integration of new technology, expertise, and clientele.

CEO Praises Departing Employees

In the announcement, Boiron expressed gratitude to those who will exit the company, noting they were part of the basis for recent momentum at the company dubbed Polygon.

The company will offer severance pay, career assistance and support to impacted employees, he added. Boiron also invited other employers in the industry to look into hiring former Polygon workers, promising that he would-highly recommend them.

The announcement highlights the growing trend of building blockchain firms with a focus on generating revenue from offerings, rather than ecosystems.

• The social-first approach of the network backfired, Gateway’s creator Jesse Pollak admitted, slashing the increase in some crucial crypto markets.
• Now, trading, stablecoin payments, tokenization and AI agents are the primary areas of base’s focus.
• Pollak will return the Base App to Coinbase while he concentrates on improving Base to become a global finance blockchain.

This Strategic Change is one of Base’s most significant changes since its inception. The network’s efforts towards onchain social experiences did not lead to the adoption that creator Jesse Pollak had hoped for and had been criticized for after several months, so he created a massive pivot to financial infrastructure.

Pollak Says Base’s Social Vision Missed the Market

In a lengthy post on X, Pollak described the first quarter of 2026 as “a punch in the face” after realizing that Base had focused too heavily on social applications while other crypto sectors accelerated.

lots of conversations about base over the last week. wanted to share my candid take after a week of listening and a lot of reflection over the last 6 months.

first off – in case it’s not obvious, the first quarter of 2026 was a punch in the face. I spent 2024 and 2025 making a…

— jesse.base.eth (@jessepollak) July 15, 2026

He said that in 2026, Base was constructed with the expectation that builders will promote adoption by means of creator platforms, messaging and content-based experiences. The first one is correct and the second one is not.

Social ecosystem projects like Farcaster, Zora, mini apps and creator coins did not materialize into the growth driver that Base had dreamed of. Pollak acknowledged that he was incorrect and said many assumptions were challenged as a result of the experience.

Instead of taking the same way, Base has redesigned their engineering budget to prioritize products in line with the market demand.

Read More: Base Network Outage Raises Red Flags Over Centralized Sequencer Design

Trading, Payments, and AI Become Base’s Three Priorities

Pollak said Base’s roadmap now centers on three major areas:

• Trading
• Global payments
• AI agents

Stablecoins and Tokenization Lead the New Direction

Pollak said that stablecoins have proven that social applications are not necessary to take crypto to the mainstream.

Rather, Base aims to provide the infrastructure that supports and facilitates tokenized stocks, stablecoins, prediction markets, perpetuals, and other financial assets.

He further believes that AI will generate millions of autonomous economic agents, and such payments will become blockchain-native more than ever.

The shift also requires that enterprise capabilities should be enhanced further in Base, including its ability to handle tokenization and payments, areas where Pollak expects the demand will remain robust in the long term.

Coinbase Takes Over the Base App

Pollak said that as part of the restructuring process, he is leaving his role as the head of Base App behind. This will now be handled by the Coinbase app as crypto entrepreneur Cobie will focus fully on the Base blockchain.

While he admitted that there were difficult aspects to having a decentralized network inside a public company, he declared decentralization as a long-term plan.

Pollak also expressed a positive outlook on the increased competition from companies delving deeper into blockchain financial services, such as Robinhood and Stripe, adding that ultimately competition will be better for builders and users.

• Ripple’s stance is that without the CLARITY Act, cryptocurrency investors are susceptible to regulatory loopholes and fraud.
• The proposal would set out the SEC’s and CFTC’s regulatory requirements and would establish oversight prior to digital assets hitting the market.
• Ripple is declaring that the law isn’t intended to benefit the crypto industry, but to protect consumers.

Ripple is stepping up its pressure on the U.S. Senate as it heads to a vote on the CLARITY Act, arguing that the legislation is designed to serve digital asset consumers, not just the crypto industry.

Ripple Pushes Consumer Protection Message

Ripple’s Global Co-Head of Public Policy and Government, Lauren Belive, said voting against the CLARITY Act would leave consumers exposed to the same regulatory gaps that contributed to high-profile failures such as FTX.

Voting no on the Clarity Act isn’t being against the crypto industry – it’s anti-consumer. It’s a vote to leave crypto holders exposed to bad actors playing regulatory arbitrage.

The bipartisan Clarity Act is now advancing towards a vote on the Senate floor, and it is a vote…

— Lauren Belive (@BeliveLauren) July 15, 2026

Belive said the digital asset markets have seen explosive growth without a commensurate increase in federal regulations. She explained there are still a lot of questions about which regulator would be responsible for various assets and which exchanges and token issuers are protected.

Ripple says the law itself should not be considered an industry friendly bill, but an attempt to set out principles for digital assets before they go public.

CLARITY Act Would Divide Oversight Between SEC and CFTC

The bill would create a clearer separation of duties between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

A Unified Regulatory Framework

Ripple says the bill would require digital asset projects to meet regulatory standards before launching tokens while giving both agencies clearly defined authority over different parts of the market.

Belive argued that responsible companies already follow high compliance standards, but relying on voluntary practices is not enough to protect consumers. A consistent regulatory framework, she said, would create equal rules for all market participants and reduce opportunities for regulatory arbitrage.

The executive also warned that maintaining today’s fragmented system would continue leaving investors uncertain about who regulates crypto businesses and what legal safeguards exist.

Senate Vote Draws Growing Industry Support

As momentum gathers on the bipartisan bill ahead of a vote on the Senate floor, ripple effects of the changes ripple out.

It has always pushed for better regulation of digital assets, stating that sound and sensible regulations could foster responsible innovation in the United States and create more consumer confidence.

Belive also took to the political stage and raised objections to the lawmakers who claim to be pro-regulation but who are against the bill thereby allowing them to effectively “maintain” the same environment that led to the demise of consumers in past cryptocurrency crashes.

Her comments come on the heels of other comments by parts of the crypto industry encouraging Congress to come up with a clear legal path.
