The product builds on Ondo’s tokenized stock business, which crossed $1 billion in total value locked (TVL) in less than eight months after launch. From speculation to infrastructure “Crypto has long been a place of speculation, and this is somewhat of a play on the progression of crypto as well, from kind of a $3 trillion industry to what will become a $100 trillion technology that will power global markets,” Hoffman said. Ondo describes its work so far as access. Yield-bearing dollars, tokenized stocks and ETFs, and perpetual futures (perps) have all brought new assets to investors globally, and they…

His first explanation concerns durability, a question advisors face when evaluating newer forms of investment alongside traditional holdings. Cryptocurrencies are digital assets that can be stored, exchanged, and used for payments. Confidence that a token will persist differs from an expectation that its price will rise. Familiar Financial Uses Strengthen $XRP’s Case Hougan’s second explanation connects that established history with financial services his audience already recognizes and can evaluate. He added: “It fits into real-world applications that they can understand.” He pointed to stablecoins, tokens designed to maintain a reference value, alongside transfers between currencies and liquidity, the availability of…

The initiative responds to sustained demand for multi-asset diversification on cryptocurrency exchange platforms. Market data reported by BlockchainReporter indicates that the TradFi category on Binance has seen a steady increase in relative trading volumes compared to pure crypto derivatives. Technical Specifications and Settlement Framework Each contract synthetically tracks the spot price of the underlying asset. Official documentation clarifies that holding these positions confers no voting rights, corporate dividends, or direct ownership of the underlying equities. Traders can access these derivatives 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This uninterrupted availability contrasts with the standard market schedule of traditional stock…

That creates the cycle the post highlights, higher rates could mean slower growth, while lower rates could mean renewed inflation pressure. Long-Term Yields Sit At Center Of Warning The post specifically points to long-term Treasury yields, claiming they are already at their highest levels since 2007. It also refernces roughly $40 trillion in U.S. debt and argues that rising debt costs could increase pressure across financial markets. The comparison with Japan is another major part of the warning. The post argues that the Federal Reserve could eventually face a similar policy dilemma. Still, none of those claims establishes that markets…

Using one current finalized accounting sample, an illustration puts the execution base fee needed to offset gross issuance at about 13.85 gwei with today’s 60 million gas limit, or 4.16 gwei with a hypothetical 200 million limit. Both require roughly 2,992 $ETH of daily burn under the model’s assumptions. What the 2026 ledger shows The ethsupply.fyi retained ledger covers Jan. 1 at 00:00:11 UTC through Oct. 9 at 15:44:23 UTC. It reports 796,623.377 $ETH of gross issuance against 16,524.553 $ETH destroyed through execution and blob transaction fees. A further 1,685.919 $ETH was removed through consensus penalties, with 0.059 $ETH in…

The rate was actually reduced. The amount of the increase was below half of the $21 trillion recorded in the period in the previous year, which the IIF attributed to high interest rates, higher servicing costs, increased energy costs, and the negative impact of the Iran conflict on investor sentiment. Who is lending to Washington is changing In this regard, another letter written by the economists of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and released on September 28 discusses a different but related aspect of the issue, namely the actual creditors of the Treasury. In recent years, US government…

Ripple’s latest official disclosure, dated June 30, showed the company controlling 37.656 billion $XRP, or roughly 37.7% of the original supply. Of this amount, 32.6 billion $XRP was locked in on-ledger escrow, leaving roughly 5.06 billion $XRP outside escrow within Ripple’s reported holdings. Ripple Cannot Access All Its $XRP at Once The distinction between Ripple’s liquid holdings and escrowed $XRP is important. $XRP locked in escrow cannot simply be moved whenever Ripple wants. The XRPL itself enforces the release schedule, meaning the company must wait until the programmed unlock date before accessing those tokens. Ripple originally placed 55 billion $XRP…

Kalshi Took More Than Three-Quarters of the Week Kalshi registered around 77% of all the volume tracked from last week, with $15.8 billion. Polymarket came in a distant second with $3.6 billion. Nadex followed with $481.9 million and Rothera with $272.3 million, while Predict.fun and Opinion each cleared $120 million. Polymarket had a decent weekend of its own, with $770.4 million on Saturday and $662.4 million on Sunday. However, Kalshi’s growth through September has been much faster and the gap between the two platforms is now the widest it has been all year. American Football Pushed the Biggest Days to…

In a deliverable forward, the buyer pays the full purchase price upfront. The seller must deliver hashrate to Luxor’s Bitcoin Mining Pool, with the buyer’s daily $BTC settlement tied to the hashprice index and contracted amount of mining power. That prepayment supplies financing to the miner. Luxor says deliverable forwards typically trade below comparable non-deliverable forwards to compensate the buyer for credit risk and the cost of committing capital. The lower prepaid purchase price is the source of the lender’s potential profit. Without a hedge, the buyer’s receipts would vary with the mining-revenue rate. The paired trade adds a sale…

Source: TradingView As such, $BTC is at present testing whether it will be possible for buying interest to hold the cost basis zone near $84,000 – $86,500. Maintaining this zone may create conditions favorable for another test of resistance. However, losing $83,000 would weaken the recovery and expose $80,000, increasing downside pressure. $BTC STH profits hit $1B The pressure is shifting from price resistance to profit-taking, as Short-Term Holders (STH) have more incentive to sell. The STH’s 7-day average Realized Profit rose from $136 million to approximately $1.05 billion. This illustrates the rapid increase in profit-taking during Bitcoin’s recovery. Further,…
