| 2 | Shyft Taps VARA-Licensed GAP3 to Co-Curate Its First Vaults
Shyft Finance has partnered with GAP3 Partners as Co-Curator of its first two vaults, shCORE and shYIELD, as the Ethereum yield products near pre-deposits.
GAP3, the Gulf's first VARA-licensed Virtual Asset Investment Advisor, provides research, analysis and strategy recommendations on the vaults. shYIELD targets higher returns by combining Radiant Prime, Maple syrupUSDC and Gauntlet USD Alpha, while shCORE runs a more balanced mix of Radiant Prime, Ondo USDY and Sky sUSDS. Both contracts are already live on Ethereum mainnet.
Rather than lean on a single protocol, each vault blends multiple onchain and market-neutral strategies under one professionally curated wrapper, with source-level reporting via Accountable, RedStone and Chainlink Proof of Reserve for the off-exchange sleeves.
The tie-up fits a broader trend of regulated advisors moving into DeFi vault curation, packaging institutional-grade yield strategies for allocators who want onchain access with a compliance-friendly layer on top.

| 3 | Solana Passes Vote to Double SOL Disinflation
Solana's stake-weighted governance vote has passed SIMD-0550, clearing the two-thirds supermajority needed to double the network's annual disinflation rate from 15% to 30%.
The change accelerates how fast new SOL issuance winds down. It removes an estimated 18.9 million SOL, worth roughly $1.5B at recent prices, from future emissions and brings Solana's 1.5% terminal inflation forward by about three years, to around H1 2029 instead of 2032. Total supply ends up roughly 2.6% lower than under the old schedule.
Authored by Helius engineers and elevated to a formal Solana Governance Proposal, it is one of the network's biggest tokenomics changes to date. The trade-off: faster disinflation also trims future staking rewards, so validators and stakers accept lower nominal yield over time in exchange for a scarcer SOL.
For SOL holders, the vote is a clear shift toward scarcity: less new supply hitting the market each year and an earlier arrival at Solana's minimum inflation floor, at the cost of thinner staking emissions down the line.

| 4 | Bybit Launches 24/7 Options on Stock Perpetuals
Bybit has launched 24/7 options on its stock perpetuals, starting with SpaceX and Nvidia, giving traders round-the-clock, USDT-settled exposure to equities.
The options sit on top of Bybit's TradFi Perpetuals, the exchange's product line for trading stocks, indices and commodities as 24/7 USDT-settled contracts. Adding options lets traders express directional and volatility views on names like SpaceX and Nvidia at any hour, including weekends when traditional markets are closed.
It is part of a broader race among crypto exchanges, Coinbase among them, to wrap tokenized or synthetic equity exposure in familiar derivatives and pull TradFi order flow onto crypto rails.
For the industry, it is another step in the convergence of crypto and traditional finance: the same venues that list perps on BTC and ETH now offer leveraged, always-on options on Big Tech and pre-IPO names, settled in stablecoins rather than dollars.

| 5 | a16z Raises $1.1B Machine Age Hardware Fund
Andreessen Horowitz has raised a $1.1B fund called Machine Age to invest in the hardware backbone of AI, from chips, memory, networking and storage to robotics.
The fund is a bet that the hard constraint on AI is no longer just models and data but the physical supply chain underneath them, the compute, memory and networking that have become the industry's tightest bottleneck. It slots alongside a16z's other infrastructure and Oxygen compute initiatives aimed at securing hardware access for its portfolio companies.
For crypto, the thesis rhymes with DePIN and on-chain AI: whoever controls compute, chips and networking capacity controls the pace of the AI buildout, and increasingly that hardware layer is where the biggest capital is now flowing.
The raise underscores how the AI arms race has shifted from software toward silicon and physical infrastructure, with top venture firms racing to fund the picks-and-shovels layer rather than just the applications on top.

| 6 | SBI Buys 20% of Indonesia's Ajaib for $270M
Japan's SBI Holdings is taking a 20% stake in Indonesian online brokerage Ajaib for $270M, turning the Jakarta-based firm into an equity-method affiliate.
The move is part of SBI's broader push to expand its yen-denominated stablecoin, JPYSC, which it launched in June, across Southeast Asia. Plugging Ajaib's retail brokerage and user base into SBI's crypto and payments stack gives the Japanese group a distribution channel for stablecoin and digital-asset services in one of the region's largest markets.
For Ajaib, founded by Stanford classmates Anderson Sumarli and Yada Piyajomkwan, the $270M Series C is Indonesia's largest tech funding round since 2022 and lifts its valuation above the prior round.
The deal fits a wider pattern of Japanese and regional financial groups buying into Southeast Asian fintech to seed stablecoin and tokenization rails, betting that local brokerages become the on-ramps for yen and dollar-pegged digital money.

| 7 | Bain Capital Leads $74M Round in RQD* Clearing
Bain Capital led a $74M growth investment in RQD* Clearing, a cloud-native securities clearing and custody provider, with ABN AMRO Clearing Bank and Nyca Partners also joining.
The minority growth round funds RQD's expansion across North America, Asia and the Middle East and, notably for crypto, accelerates its build-out of custody infrastructure for digital assets and tokenization. CoinDesk framed the deal as Wall Street laying the plumbing for tokenized markets, where clearing and custody rails are a prerequisite for moving real-world assets on-chain at scale.
RQD says it has cleared roughly 515 million equity transactions worth nearly $2 trillion so far this year, about 2.4% of US National Market System equity trading. Bain joins an investor group that already includes ABN AMRO Clearing, Nyca Partners, Gentree Fund and Belvedere Strategic Capital.
For digital-asset markets, the raise signals that traditional post-trade infrastructure providers are positioning early for tokenized securities, where settlement and custody move on-chain and the line between TradFi clearing and crypto custody starts to blur.

| 8 | Coins by Diluted Valuation Launched this summer
DGAI topped this summer's new tokens at a $749M FDV, ahead of CAP ($655M) and RE ($536M). These valuations were priced in a sideways summer; now that the market's turning, we'll see which paper tags convert into real demand, and which don't. | 2 791 |
| 9 | DefiLlama and Forgd Launch Universal Token Ratings
DefiLlama and Forgd have launched Universal Token Ratings, a standardized system that scores 128 tokens from 0 to 100 and assigns letter grades from AAA down to CCC.
The grades combine each project's public disclosures with live on-chain and market data, and update continuously, so a token's rating shifts as its fundamentals change rather than sitting in a static report. Forgd, a Web3 investment bank, and DefiLlama pitch it as the first standard in digital assets that continuously verifies whether a token's real market performance matches what the project has disclosed.
Projects that are not yet covered can formally apply to disclose their information and get rated, and the full methodology behind the requirements is published openly on the platform.
For a market long criticized for opaque tokenomics and cherry-picked metrics, a continuously updated, disclosure-based rating gives allocators and researchers a common yardstick to compare tokens on more than price.

| 10 | BitGo Buys NYDIG's Institutional Trading Business
BitGo has agreed to acquire NYDIG's institutional trading business and related assets, adding derivatives, structured products, financing and other capital-markets services to its custody, settlement and wallet infrastructure.
Roughly 250 institutional client relationships and about 30 NYDIG employees are expected to move to BitGo. Terms were not disclosed. The purchase deepens BitGo's push beyond custody into trading and capital markets, just as activity picks up after a prolonged crypto trading slowdown, making the deal one of the first clear signs of a rebound.
BitGo, founded in 2013 and based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, is one of the earliest institutional crypto custodians and went public earlier this year. For NYDIG, a Stone Ridge affiliate long known for its Bitcoin-native approach, the sale marks a strategic narrowing of focus.
The move continues a wave of consolidation in institutional crypto infrastructure, as custody, trading and prime-services providers bundle capabilities to win the larger allocators returning to the market.

| 11 | Ethena Ends VC Unlocks and Puts ENA Buybacks to a Vote
The Ethena Foundation announced four changes to the ENA ecosystem: it bought out early seed investors, eliminated future monthly VC unlocks, assigned all protocol value to the Foundation, and opened a governance vote on revenue buybacks.
The buyout covered all locked tokens held by major seed investors who had sold any ENA over the past 9 months, while scrapping the monthly VC unlocks releases the remaining unvested investor overhang. All team tokens stay locked on their original vesting schedules.
A Master Framework Agreement between the Foundation and Ethena Labs assigns the protocol's IP and accrued value to the Foundation, governed by token holders, with no residual cash flow owed to Labs equity investors. Separately, a proposal already cleared by the Risk Committee would flip a fee switch so net revenue across every Ethena business line programmatically buys back ENA.
Together the moves tie ENA's value directly to protocol revenue and strip out the investor supply overhang that has weighed on the token, shifting control and cash flows toward holders. The buyback vote is live now on Snapshot.

| 12 | Nvidia Agrees to Buy Hugging Face for $12.9 Billion
Nvidia has agreed to acquire Hugging Face, the GitHub-like hub for open-source AI models, datasets and benchmarks, in a deal reportedly worth about $12.9 billion, according to The Information.
The acquisition hands Nvidia a dominant position in open-source AI just as freely available models close the gap with closed systems from OpenAI and Anthropic. Anyone downloading a model from Hugging Face still has to run it on their own hardware, which overwhelmingly means Nvidia GPUs, so the deal defends Nvidia's core chip business against big customers building their own silicon.
The price is nearly triple the $4.5 billion valuation Hugging Face reached in its 2023 round, which Nvidia, Alphabet and Salesforce backed. Hugging Face had rebuffed a $500 million Nvidia investment last year that would have valued it near $7 billion.
For crypto and AI builders, the move puts the field's main open-model repository under its most powerful hardware vendor, raising fresh questions about neutrality and access as more onchain and agent projects lean on Hugging Face models.

Europe builds real euro coins (Revolut, Qivalis, SocGen) as MiCA pushes USDT out. The US giants dodge stablecoins entirely and build tokenized deposits, same money on-chain, locked inside the bank.
From enemy to issuer, and a quiet fight over who owns settlement. | 3 187 |
| 15 | Nest's nOPAL: Brazilian Card-Receivable Yield on Plume
nOPAL is now live on Bybit RWA Earn, 80M users can now tap into Brazil's $3T credit-card market. The mechanic: BlackOpal buys future card payments at a discount (true sale, registered with Brazil's Central Bank), settled through Visa and Mastercard. That discount becomes on-chain yield.
~15% APY, 3x what T-bill RWAs pay (~4–5%), because you're taking emerging-market credit + FX risk, not farm emissions. Backed by Nest on Plume: $76.2M TVL, $1B+ processed, DTCC working-group member. | 2 701 |
| 16 | OpenAI Says It Could Reach AGI by the End of 2026
OpenAI believes it is approaching artificial general intelligence (AGI), with Chief Research Officer Mark Chen estimating the company is “80% of the way” there.
Sam Altman said OpenAI expects to have an internal system he would consider AGI by the end of 2026, marking one of the company’s clearest timelines yet.
The progress is reportedly being driven by Astra, OpenAI’s next-generation model designed for autonomous research. In one demonstration, 16 AI agents divided a research-level math problem, coordinated their work and assembled a proposed proof.
Astra can reportedly work on research tasks for extended periods, with Altman expecting it to eventually “invent new things” in ways that materially contribute to scientific discovery.
If OpenAI’s timeline holds, 2026 could mark a major transition from AI that assists with knowledge to AI capable of creating new knowledge itself.

| 18 | Flop Labs Reveals FLOP Tokenomics With No VC or Presale
Flop Labs has revealed the first details of FLOP tokenomics, with no VC allocation and no presale.
20.4% of total FLOP supply is allocated to the airdrop for miners, validators, agents and early community members.
Flop Labs and the Flop Foundation will each receive 8 FLOP per block alongside the 96 FLOP block reward. Both allocations follow the network’s halving schedule and sunset after year 10, reaching 5.7% of total supply each by then.
The Foundation will also receive a portion of FLOP confiscated from dishonest miners and validators, with funds supporting network development and efforts to reduce block times to sub-one second.
Further airdrop details and an AMA hosted by Arthur Hayes are expected next week.

| 19 | Nara Raises $500K Pre-Seed From YZi Labs
Nara raised a $500K pre-seed from YZi Labs, the fund formerly known as Binance Labs, following its graduation from EASY Residency Season 4 in Bhutan.
Nara is building NaraUSD, a yield-bearing dollar asset backed by cross-border payment financing: it tokenizes real payment flows to target non-correlated, double-digit USD returns. The raise follows YZi Labs' 10-week EASY Residency program, whose Season 4 cohort spent its second half on the ground in Bhutan's Gelephu Mindfulness City, with up to $500K available through the Builder Fund. On Demo Day the team pitched to CZ, seasoned investors and the King of Bhutan.
The deal fits YZi Labs' thesis that stablecoins and payment rails are becoming core financial plumbing, extending its bets into yield-bearing dollar products tied to real-world flows.

| 20 | Bitfinex Securities Raises $50M for Tokenized Nickel
Bitfinex Securities opened a $50M offering of ALKN, a tokenized nickel product from Luxembourg's Alkemya backed by a $1.6B stockpile of high-purity nickel wire held in Swiss custody.
ALKN is a listed instrument of Alkemya Metacore, the Luxembourg parent, with a Singapore commercial entity (GTX) and Swiss custody. Proceeds fund Alkemya's operating subsidiary, Green Transitional Metals, to commercialize engineered nickel for EMI shielding, aerospace and defense, semiconductors, power and industrial systems, green hydrogen and metals recovery. It is billed as one of the first tokenized nickel products and the first tokenized commodity under El Salvador's digital-asset framework, with primary subscription open to eligible investors until October 15.
The deal extends the drive to put physical commodities on-chain, giving investors regulated, blockchain-based exposure to an industrial metal tied to the energy transition.
