The integration moves collateral and stablecoin issuance into a single, chain-agnostic experience: deposit BTC, ETH, BNB or LSTs on one chain and mint satUSD directly on another. Stablecoin liquidity today is often split across dozens of ecosystems. Capital sits idle on one chain while demand lives on another; moving assets usually means taking on bridge risk or dealing with wrapped tokens…

Just weeks ago, a Manhattan jury found Storm guilty of violating the law, a crime which carries a penalty of up to five…
