2025 was one hell of a ride! 100+ clients served, 2 strategic acquisitions, 140+ Cryptic Talks, 5 Convergence events across the globe. We made it all happen together. Here’s to making 2026 even bigger 🥂

🚨UPDATE: Crypto price predictions are getting shorter timeframes on @Polymarket US. The platform now offers five-minute up-or-down markets for $BTC, $ETH, $SOL and $XRP, with @chainlink price data determining the outcomes. With five-minute markets, traders can take views on short-term crypto price movements rather than longer-term direction. The format brings faster-paced prediction markets to four major digital assets.

🚨NEWS: Traditional banking infrastructure is moving deeper into digital assets. @Ripple and @BNYglobal are expanding their partnership to support $XRP and $RLUSD custody, with plans to explore tokenized trade finance on the XRP Ledger. BNY’s role extends beyond custody, with clients able to mint and redeem RLUSD directly. The two firms will also explore how the XRP Ledger could support more efficient trade finance, payments, settlement and collateral workflows for institutional clients.

⚡️LATEST: Tokenized stocks are gaining new routes into DeFi. @Ondo's 15 tokenized stocks and ETFs are now available on @RobinhoodApp , with 11 @Uniswap StablePair pools connecting Ondo Stocks and Robinhood Stock Tokens tied to the same underlying securities. The integration brings more options for trading and providing liquidity around tokenized equities, with potential arbitrage opportunities between paired assets. However, the pools do not extend Robinhood’s operating hours or guarantee that both tokens will always trade at the same price.

🎙 Private Credit Is Going Onchain: Building the Next Generation of Capital Markets In this episode of Cryptic Talks, we sit down with @IncDeploi's Founder @OskJep to discuss why private credit is gaining traction, what tokenization can actually change for traditional finance, and how onchain infrastructure could reshape private-credit markets. Follow @IncDeploi and watch the full conversation here: youtu.be/Xy_jrLb9f84

🚨LATEST: Gold-backed tokens are expanding across blockchain networks. The Hong Kong Gold Exchange is integrating @chainlink CCIP with Midas Labs to enable its gold-backed XGZ token to move securely across multiple blockchains. The integration combines chainlink’s cross-chain interoperability technology with @midaslabsxyz's tokenization infrastructure, allowing @goldzipxgz to move beyond the blockchain where it was originally issued and reach multiple networks.

🚨UPDATE: AI computing costs are becoming a new market for derivatives traders. @injective's Super Intelligence Compute Index combines rental rates for five @nvidia GPUs into a single benchmark, allowing traders to speculate on changes in demand for computing resources. The market could also serve a practical purpose beyond speculation. AI developers can hedge against rising GPU rental fees, while computing providers can protect against declines in rental income.

🔥 NEW: @Ripple and @RobinhoodApp have announced a strategic partnership to expand $RLUSD across retail and institutional markets. Robinhood plans to use the stablecoin for institutional settlement on the XRP Ledger and integrate Ripple Treasury into its financial operations. RLUSD is already live on Robinhood Chain and Bitstamp by Robinhood, with availability in the Robinhood app expected later this year.

⚡️ LATEST: Janus Henderson and @centrifuge have launched $JQQQ, a tokenized fund tracking the Nasdaq-100 Index on the @StellarOrg blockchain. Licensed by @Nasdaq, the fund is managed by Janus Henderson and built on Centrifuge’s infrastructure. It is available to eligible professional investors outside the U.S., with a reported $100,000 minimum investment.

⚡️ LATEST: @binance has applied for authorization to provide crypto services in Brazil, submitting its application through local entity BBrasil on October 23. The filing comes ahead of the Central Bank’s October 30 deadline for existing crypto service providers to enter the licensing process. Binance has also restricted eight products and delist 22 tokens from trading for Brazilian users as it adjusts to the new rules. The application has not yet been approved.

🚨 JUST IN: @BithumbOfficial confirmed a personal information leak after unauthorized access to its internal mobile groupware system. The exchange is investigating whether customer information was exposed. The incident follows a data leak affecting 38,490 Daishin Securities customers and a separate security breach at Mirae Asset Global Investments.

🚨UPDATE: Institutions could access DeFi lending without moving their digital assets out of qualified custody. @chainlink's new CustodySync solution, launched with @Anchorage Digital Bank, connects custodians with decentralized lending markets. CustodySync aims to make institutional DeFi lending more accessible by synchronizing custody and lending systems throughout a loan’s lifecycle, while keeping assets with qualified custodians.

🚨NEWS: US community banks are being encouraged to explore issuing payment stablecoins under the GENIUS Act. The @USOCC says banks can pursue approval directly or through a subsidiary, with applications expected to open after the required OMB clearance. The OCC wants community banks to play a role in the future of digital payments. However, the application process has yet to open, pending OMB approval.

🇺🇸LATEST: @Ripple has secured final @USOCC approval for its national trust bank, following conditional approval in December 2025. The bank is expected to support RLUSD reserve management and provide digital asset custody services under federal supervision. The approval clears a key regulatory step for Ripple National Trust Bank, which will manage RLUSD reserves and provide fiduciary digital asset custody under federal oversight. Ripple says it will continue working with US regulators as the bank begins operations.

🇺🇸UPDATE: @HyperliquidX could soon become accessible to US perpetual futures traders through a new arrangement involving @krakenfx's parent company, @Payward. The proposed service would use @Bitnomial's CFTC-regulated framework, subject to approval. Payward’s plan could open a regulated route for US clients to access perpetual futures through Hyperliquid’s infrastructure, with the launch dependent on regulatory approval.
