| 2 | EQX Brings Share-Backed US Stocks to Hyperliquid
EQX Labs unveiled tokenized US stocks issued natively on Hyperliquid. The first 11 stocks and ETFs, such as SPY and NVDA, will soon trade 24/7 on its order book.
Each token is backed 1:1 by real shares held at Alpaca, StoneX or Clear Street. EQX charges nothing to create, redeem or hold tokens and takes no cut of dividends; it earns from its share of Hyperliquid trading fees. Dividends are reinvested for now, and holders can send voting instructions by signing with their wallet.
The issuer is a BVI company with a separate portfolio for each ticker, owned by an independent Cayman trust rather than by EQX Labs.

| 3 | StarkWare's OffMarket Hides Polymarket Bets
StarkWare opened OffMarket to the public, a privacy app that lets people trade on Polymarket without linking positions to their known wallets.
Orders still fill on Polymarket at the same prices. Funds sit in Starknet's shared privacy pool, which holds about $1.5M across 17,000 deposits, and deposits are capped at $1,000 USDC per account for now. The app is non-custodial and follows Polymarket's geo rules, so US users are blocked. A compliance firm holds a master viewing key for court and regulator requests.
Trade size and timing can still reveal a trader. OffMarket is not a Polymarket product; it runs through Polymarket's verified builder program.

| 4 | Polygon Closes Coinme Deal for US Payments
Polygon Labs completed its Coinme acquisition, turning its Open Money Stack into a US-regulated payments platform that covers 48 states.
Coinme brings 37 state money transmitter licenses, 11 exemptions and FinCEN registration as a money services business. The deal is part of a $250M purchase announced in January that also included wallet firm Sequence. Open Money Stack ties fiat on- and off-ramps, wallets, cross-chain routing and stablecoin settlement into one integration.
Tazapay, Mesh, Toku and Kira are among the first customers, using it for cross-border payments, on-ramps, stablecoin payroll and US dollar access.

| 5 | NFT Market Shrinks 83% in 5 Years. CryptoPunks Now Own 38%
In October 2021 the top-100 NFT collections were worth $12.19B. By 2023 they were down to $3.05B, and today they are worth $2.10B, 83% less.
CryptoPunks fell too, from $3.78B to $789M, but their share grew from 31% to 37.6%. Since 2023 their market cap has even risen, while the market lost another 31%.
Generative art held on: Autoglyphs and Chromie Squiggle made the top 10 in all three snapshots. Autoglyphs barely trades, so its floor is just an ask.

| 6 | HEX Founder Richard Heart Reportedly Held in Istanbul
Richard Heart was reportedly detained in an Istanbul dawn raid, Turkish outlets Sözcü, Karar and Takvim said, describing a joint intelligence and police operation.
Heart, legal name Richard James Schueler, has been on an Interpol Red Notice since December 2024, issued at Finland's request over tax and assault cases. Reports list 53 Rolex and 11 Patek Philippe watches, firearms and cash, with cash estimates from about $600K to $4M. A woman named as his wife was also detained. Turkish officials have not confirmed the arrest publicly.
The SEC case against Heart was dismissed in 2025. HEX was down about 29% on the day, per CoinGecko.

| 7 | Bank-Backed Qivalis Clears Path to Euro Stablecoin
Qivalis got an e-money license from De Nederlandsche Bank, the Dutch central bank. The Amsterdam firm, backed by 37 European banks, can now issue a euro stablecoin under MiCA.
Issuance is planned within the next months, after Qivalis publishes its MiCA white paper. The token will run on a full-reserve model and reach users through banks, exchanges and payment providers, not directly. Qivalis was founded in September 2025, and Sir Howard Davies, former NatWest chairman, chairs its supervisory board.
Backers span 15 countries, including ING, BNP Paribas, BBVA, UniCredit and CaixaBank. The group more than tripled when 25 new banks joined.

| 8 | Polymarket Weighs a POLY Token Against an IPO
Polymarket weighs a token or IPO as its next step, Bloomberg reports. CEO Shayne Coplan teased an announcement ahead of TOKEN2049, but neither path is confirmed.
A token could reward traders and liquidity providers in ways shares cannot, while an IPO fits Polymarket's push into regulated US markets through QCEX and Polymarket US. Coplan first hinted at $POLY in October 2025. Polymarket says it never announced an airdrop or a token launch.
Its valuation rose from about $9B after ICE's 2025 investment to reported talks above $20B, with annualized revenue said to be well above $1B.

| 9 | BNY & Citadel Run First Tokenized Treasury Repo
BNY and Citadel tested tokenized Treasuries in a live repo trade. Citadel Securities bought a 2-year Treasury note, and its token settled on BNY's private ledger in minutes, not T+1.
Citadel then used the tokenized note as collateral in an overnight triparty repo, with BNY lending cash against it. BNY calls it the first use of tokenized assets on a major triparty repo platform. The bank oversees $62.6T in assets under custody and administration.
Next, BNY plans tokenized deposits for onchain settlement and longer settlement hours, reaching European and Asian trading hours next year.

| 10 | Base Lets Apps Offer Stablecoin Yield & Loans
Base introduced Earn & Borrow, a stack for apps to offer stablecoin yield and loans against customers' crypto via lending markets like Morpho and Aave.
Customers deposit stablecoins such as USDC and earn a variable rate paid by overcollateralized borrowers. Borrowers get USDC against crypto they hold in the app with no repayment schedule, though collateral can be liquidated. Vaults are run by independent curators, not by Base or Coinbase.
Lending markets on Base already hold $3B+ with a 4.45% average stablecoin yield before incentives. Aave has confirmed it is live in the stack.

| 11 | Kraken Parent Payward Buys Lithuania's Saldo Bank
Payward is buying Saldo Bank, according to the Financial Times. The deal would give Kraken's parent its own EU bank licence and is expected to close in 2027 after regulatory approval.
Saldo started as a Finnish fintech and got a specialised bank licence from the European Central Bank in October 2021. Run from Vilnius, it offers consumer and SME loans, term deposits and credit cards in Lithuania, Finland and Sweden. Deal terms were not disclosed.
It follows July reports that Kraken wanted a full banking licence in Lithuania, the same route Revolut took in 2018.

| 12 | Coinbase Urges Bitcoin to Start Quantum Prep Now
Coinbase shared its Bitcoin quantum plan. The custodian holds about 5% of all BTC and says work should start before a quantum computer can break today's signatures, since the migration will take years.
Its priorities: an address type that can swap signature schemes without a redesign, which BIP-360's P2MR or P2TRv2 could offer, plus a 1-of-2 bridge where the same coins are spendable with a classic key or a quantum-safe one. Coinbase is wary of stateful schemes like SHRINCS unless a stateless fallback exists, since reused state can let attackers forge signatures.
Still open: what happens to coins that never move. Coinbase wants that debated separately, so it does not hold up adding quantum-safe signatures.

Custodial wallets and yield on balances are planned by the end of 2026. Rain, valued at $1.95B in January, also runs Western Union's Stablecard program.

| 16 | Solana's Alpenglow Upgrade Hits Mainnet Oct 21
Anza set the Alpenglow mainnet launch for October 21 at about 14:50 UTC. Its Votor consensus replaces TowerBFT and cuts finality from about 12.8 seconds to roughly 150ms.
Validators will exchange votes directly instead of posting them on-chain, so reported TPS will drop: votes are about 63% of all Solana transactions today. Validators need Agave 4.3.0+ and at least 0.8 SOL in their vote account; Firedancer and Frankendancer, about 15.8% of stake, are not supported at launch. Alpenglow went live on testnet on September 24 and devnet on September 25.
The switch happens in a single slot on the running network, with no restart. Rotor, the planned replacement for Turbine block propagation, is not scheduled yet.

| 19 | Ramp Launches Glass to Share AI Workflows at Work
Ramp launched Glass, an AI workspace that saves employees' best prompts and workflows so the whole company can reuse them instead of starting from an empty chat.
Ramp built it after burning $1.5M in AI tokens in one week in May. Inside Ramp, 323 employees have made 6,500+ edits to what Glass knows. One saved prompt lifted feature requests logged from customer calls from about 300 to 20,000 a month. Requests run through Ramp Router, which picks a model per job and cut Ramp's own AI bill by 30%.
Glass plugs into Slack, Notion, Linear, Gong and more, works with open or closed models and shows a cost meter on every project. Ramp is onboarding the first businesses itself.
