Polygon Labs expects its regulated payments business to become profitable in 2027 as it moves beyond blockchain infrastructure to enter the payments processing industry dominated by companies such as Visa (V) and Stripe, CEO Marc Boiron told CoinDesk. The company, the developer of the Polygon blockchain, said Wednesday that it completed the acquisition of Coinme, a U.S.-regulated crypto payments provider, giving theCayman Islands-based company the ability to handle conversions between cryptocurrencies, stablecoins and traditional money using its own resources. The deal is part of a shift in Polygon’s business that includes January’s introduction of the Open Money Stack, a framework…

Ardoino’s remarks coincide with reports coming from Africa and Latam, where countries are increasingly adopting $USDT for both internal retail transactions and also as a store of value due to failing fiat currencies. But $USDT’s utilization goes way beyond these use cases, and sometimes it scales to international trade too, as Ardoino revealed. For example, in 2025, before Maduro’s forceful removal, Venezuelan economist Asdrubal Oliveros pointed out that almost 80% of all oil revenue was paid in stablecoins. Even this year, according to Ecoanalitica’s Alejandro Grisanti, P2P stablecoin-based national markets traded volumes representing 75% of the national monthly oil exports.…

CCIP 2.0 Targets Institutional Adoption One of the week’s biggest milestones was the launch of CCIP 2.0, which opened the upgraded cross-chain infrastructure to institutions and digital asset issuers. The update is designed to improve security, compliance, and transaction efficiency as more financial assets move onchain. Chainlink said CCIP has secured more than $84 billion in cross-chain token value, with over $15 billion migrating to the network during the last four months. The technology is already being integrated by firms including BitGo, Fidelity International, Crypto Finance, and SBI Digital Markets. Adoption is also expanding in traditional finance. Coinbase selected Chainlink…

Myriad: Which company will have the best AI model? Click to make your prediction. Instead of opening a ride-hailing app, typing an address and picking a car, you tell the phone where you want to go, and its agent—software that takes a goal and carries it out on its own—handles the remaining steps. StepFun told the launch audience that in the agent era AI is no longer an add-on to a smartphone but the product itself. StepFun first showed the agent, the operating system, and the STEPX brand in Shanghai on July 13, without a price or sales date. The…

Source: X To begin with, Michael Saylor has shared an “Orange signal” on X, indicating a possible $BTC purchase. This comes as MSTR continues to gain ground, extending last month’s 30% rise with a 20% rally this month. Along the same lines, Strive CEO Matt Cole has also hinted at the purchase of more Bitcoin. In turn, Strive’s share (NASDAQ: ASST) has been climbing strongly after registering a huge rally of 118% last month with another 21% gain this month. This matters because a higher stock price gives Strategy and Strive more room to raise capital, and potentially scale their…

The company shared images of two filings, both submitted on September 1. The first is a Form 1-N from Coinbase Derivatives, LLC, the entity through which the exchange already offers other futures products. The second is a Form BD-N from Coinbase Financial Markets, Inc., registering as a security futures product broker-dealer under Section 15(b)(11) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Neither filing guarantees the product launches on any set timeline. Notice registrations open the door for a broker or exchange to offer a given product, while approval and any conditions attached to it still rest with regulators. The filing…

The choice between holding bitcoin directly and using a custodian is one of five rights he proposes for digital assets. Saylor says owners should be able to hold assets themselves or select a provider. More banking options, in his view, would make bitcoin useful for customers who want financial services alongside ownership. Why He Wants Banking Rules Reviewed Banks face different risks when they safeguard an asset for a customer, lend against it, or buy it for their own balance sheets. Saylor argues that regulation should treat those activities separately. He calls for a review of accounting, supervisory, and capital…

The stablecoin is designed specifically for machine-to-machine and AI-agent payments. verUSD Starts As A Multichain Asset Verona is launching the token across multiple networks from day one. Those include Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Avalanche, Optimism, Arbitrum and Celo. Additional networks are planned. The project says its ecosystem commitments include participation from Animoca Ventures, Figment Capital, Sfermion, Pentos, Ero and Arkstream, among others. A commitment is not the same thing as circulating stablecoin supply. The $100 million figure should therefore not be read as $100 million of verUSD already issued and trading. It represents committed participation around the launch. That distinction matters…
