The structure embeds USD₮ into SME and consumer lending flows across fintech platforms operating in more than 60 countries, targeting borrowers that conventional funding channels have historically underserved. The initiative builds on Tether’s global stablecoin infrastructure, which already plays a central role in cross-border settlement and digital liquidity, and extends its application to private credit markets, where speed, capital efficiency, and global reach are increasingly critical. Combined with Fasanara’s established real-economy lending platform, underwriting expertise, and proprietary technology, the fund is designed to support a stablecoin-enabled private credit strategy focused on short-duration, asset-backed lending across global fintech origination channels.

By the Numbers Currently, the Sui ecosystem is witnessing a notable absence of trading volume, with market activity reported as $0 in the last 24 hours. Despite this, the recent partnership may stimulate interest and engagement within the community, as the push for standardized tokenization frameworks gains traction. The overall sentiment in the crypto market remains mixed, but Sui’s strategic moves could enhance its visibility and relevance in upcoming developments. Sui is focused on building a decentralized ecosystem that enhances the usability and interoperability of digital assets. The integration with the Open Tokenized Asset Standard is within the framework of…

Why could stablecoin rules change how assets are viewed? Stablecoins that appear similar on the surface can have very different issuer structures and regulatory arrangements. For example, two dollar-pegged stablecoins might offer similar market functions while operating under different reserve, redemption or disclosure requirements. That information is not always visible in the headline figures used by cryptocurrency lists. As regulation becomes more detailed, platforms could have more reason to show this information alongside price, volume and market capitalization. That would give users a clearer picture of the asset beyond its market activity and make comparisons less dependent on financial metrics…

Daily active addresses averaged about 322,000 in the latest week, down 31% from mid-September, suggesting fewer people, and fewer of the trading bots they run, are using the chain each day. The drop is likely smaller in human terms than the raw number implies, since one trader can run many addresses and a single automated program can account for thousands of transactions. Robinhood Chain transactions have fallen 42%. (Shaurya Malwa/CoinDesk)Less trading, steady balances Spot exchanges, where users buy and sell tokens directly, handled $7.45 billion during Oct. 2–8, down 21% from $9.46 billion the week before, according to CoinDesk calculations…

Ethereum outshines Bitcoin and $XRP The bullish-to-bearish comment chart, which measures how many positive comments an asset receives in comparison to negative ones, shows that Ethereum is currently at 2.05. This means that there are approximately two bullish comments for every bearish comment across X, Reddit, and Telegram for $ETH. At the same time, this also showed growing FOMO (fear of missing out), as traders became optimistic about $ETH’s recovery above key support levels, staking demand, and upcoming network improvements. This further coincided with AMBCrypot’s recent report, wherein Ethereum-led stablecoin market capitalization grew over the past week, adding $243.4 million.…

Euro stablecoin activity is small, but rapidly growing. Euro vault AUM across DeFi increased from roughly €12 million a year ago to €135 million today, still representing only 2.4% of total vault AUM. We believe euro-denominated real-word asset (RWA) yield products will accelerate EUR stablecoin growth. Path Dependency & Missing Infra Onchain euro issuance is trailing the offchain world primarily for two reasons: a historical path dependency and lack of euro-denominated DeFi infrastructure. Path dependency. Stablecoins were built to settle crypto trading, and crypto pairs were originally priced in dollars. Since the base pair was USD, USD stablecoins launched to…

Although the move is extremely familiar to the $XRP community, it still draws attention from market participants, stirring speculation about its potential impact on $XRP’s price performance in the new month. card While debates on the main aim of this regular $XRP move have continued to linger regardless of viral clarifications from Ripple executives, the recent Ripple escrow $XRP reshuffling is believed to be targeted at maintaining predictable supply flows. Nonetheless, the $XRP recently returned to escrow was locked in two separate transactions conducted by Ripple, carrying 400 million $XRP and 300 million $XRP simultaneously. $XRP stays muted While the…

P2P Trading Gains as Traders Turn to Offshore Platforms Additionally, the report stated that peer-to-peer (P2P) trading is also a key reason behind the investors’ shift to offshore crypto exchanges. In P2P trading, users can buy and sell digital assets directly with each other instead of trading through a traditional exchange order book. Reportedly, Indian visitors to a leading offshore P2P platform surged by 73% between July 2025 and April 2026. The purchase conversions also rose by about 3.6 times. The INR-based P2P trading volume increased by 29% between April 2025 and June 2026. Crypto Platform Ban Failed to Bring…

Losses Fund the House Papertrade’s contracts use the midpoint between Hyperliquid’s best bid and offer as the entry and exit price. Positions are synthetic trades against Papertrade’s pool; no corresponding perpetual contract trades on Hyperliquid itself, according to the documentation. The design removes funding payments and quotes trades at that midpoint, subject to market exposure limits. Instead of charging a fee on the full position size, Papertrade reduces gains on profitable closes through an asymmetric impact haircut. Losing trades pay their loss without an additional charge. When the pool cannot cover a winning trade, unpaid profit becomes a queued debt…
