Yes, within limits. Stellar lets a person with a smartphone receive, hold and send digital dollars without a bank account, and turn them into cash at partner locations such as MoneyGram. Aid agencies and employers already use it this way. But it does not reach people without a phone, an ID or a nearby cash agent, and it serves only a small share of the world’s unbanked adults. How Big is The Unbanked Problem? The World Bank’s Global Findex 2025 report counts 1.3 billion adults without a financial account. About 900 million of them own a mobile phone, and more…

The planned withdrawal will end a reward for completed trades, not all forms of liquidity support. The program excludes Kalshi affiliates and members with Market Maker Agreements. The Sept. 28 notice does not terminate those agreements or the separate Temporary Perpetual Fee Rebate Program. Three Different Kalshi Incentives The Ether Trade Pattern The distinction separates the volume-reward wind-down from the payments Kalshi cited in its Sept. 22 defense of its perpetuals trading. The exchange said it pays market makers flat fees to maintain buy and sell orders meeting requirements for size, spread and time on the order book—not for how…

The jobs report changed the rate question, not the answer Hiring slowed markedly in September. The official employment release showed 29,000 jobs added, with unemployment at 4.2%. A softer labor report reduces one argument for another immediate rate increase, but does not cancel inflation above the Fed’s objective. Investors were already weighing whether September’s hike should be followed by a pause or by further tightening later in the year. The Fed’s October meeting calendar lists a two day meeting on October 27 and 28, with the decision and press conference on the second day. The meeting is a dated event,…

Market Pulse Currently, Aave’s market volume and price data are unavailable, indicating a potential moment of low trading activity.

Aave is a leading DeFi protocol that facilitates lending and borrowing in a decentralized manner. The integration with MetaMask aligns with the growing trend of enhancing user experiences in decentralized finance, making it easier for users to interact…

Market Snapshot Despite the impressive growth in stablecoin deployments, market activity remains subdued, with no reported trading volume over the past 24 hours. This lack of trading activity suggests that while the foundation’s report is promising, actual market engagement is still catching up to the numbers. Traders are likely to keep a close watch on how these developments translate into trading momentum in the coming weeks. The RWA Foundation focuses on developing datasets that enhance transparency and understanding in the tokenized asset market. Their jurisdiction extends over stablecoins and related digital assets, making their reports significant for market participants looking…

For a sense of scale: at a price of around four cents, 32.69 million S come to roughly 1.19 million euros. Spread across everyone who is eligible, that is often a three-figure sum for the individual holder, sometimes more. So it is worth a quick look, even if the position had long been forgotten. Until now the matter has shown up here only as a line in the weekly round-up, most recently in the most profitable crypto airdrops of the week. Other distributions that are still running, and their deadlines, are collected in the airdrop overview. fNFT: the locked position…

President Trump separately called for Powell to be “forced to resign from the Board” following the report, continuing pressure on the former chair after repeatedly pushing the central bank to lower borrowing costs during Powell’s tenure. For Bitcoin, Powell’s position matters because he remains a member of the Federal Open Market Committee even after Kevin Warsh replaced him as Fed chair in May. A departure would create a vacancy on the seven member Board of Governors that Trump could nominate someone to fill, subject to Senate confirmation. Any effect on Bitcoin would depend less on Powell leaving by itself and…

The upgrade changes how liquidity rewards are directed. On Aerodrome today, locked-token holders vote each week to allocate the following week’s emissions. Aero’s new model replaces that cycle with real-time allocation: holders of staked $AERO, or sAERO, direct rewards to pools and earn exchange revenue as it accrues. Allocation changes will initially have a 47-hour cooldown. Locks Carry Over, but Migration Is Manual Existing veAERO and veVELO positions—the NFTs representing locked tokens—convert into new sAERO positions. Remaining lock time carries over, rounded up to the next full week, while permanent locks become maximum-duration stakes. Nothing converts automatically. Self-custodied holdings must…

On the $XRP Ledger, transaction fees are systematically burned, applying deflationary pressure to $XRP’s permanently capped 100 billion total supply. Since the $XRP Ledger’s inception, 14,403,762 $XRP (0.014% of the supply) has been burned, according to XRPscan data. This low burn rate is due to the relatively low transaction fees. The X user suggested the $XRP Ledger could consider increasing its transaction fees to generate a greater volume of $XRP burned: “validators could vote the base fee up modestly, say 10x or even 100x, and transactions would still cost well under a cent while burn volume rises meaningfully.” The X…
