A recent dispute between AMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron and Robinhood highlighted that issue, centering on whether synthetic or tokenized products may leave investors with economic exposure to a stock but without the same legal rights as registered shareholders. Issuer-sponsored models aim to narrow that gap by tying the token directly to the issuer’s records. “The architecture we establish now matters and that is why we are bringing together this group of leading firms to chart the course,” said Tom Farley, CEO of Bullish. Alpaca said it plans to contribute to interoperability between traditional securities and onchain markets through its…
Bitcoin looks weak in the short term ahead of the latest U.S. inflation data. The price is approaching an important level around $76,487. Increased selling pressure will push $BTC toward $76,232. $XRP is also weakening alongside Bitcoin. It is now around $1.32 after breaking several support levels below.

He said $RLUSD’s share of $XRP Ledger supply climbed from roughly 20% to 34%, a jump he called 642% growth. Birla tied that growth directly to how global finance already operates. “Almost every financial product, equities, gold, and so forth, is usually paired and settled with US dollars,” he said, arguing a high-quality dollar stablecoin on the ledger is fundamental to building deeper order books, both on the $XRP Ledger’s native…

TL;DR Optimism says aggregate TVL across the Superchain has moved above $14 billion. The figure combines multiple OP Stack networks rather than representing OP Mainnet alone. The milestone highlights the growing economic footprint of Base, World Chain and other interconnected OP Stack chains. Optimism’s Superchain has crossed a reported $14 billion in aggregate total value locked, giving the OP Stack another way to measure how far the ecosystem has expanded beyond a single Layer 2. The number combines several networks built around Optimism’s shared technology rather than measuring OP Mainnet on its own. The Superchain Is Bigger Than Optimism Mainnet…

Key takeaways Total assets under management in the RWA market hit $34.18 billion as of September 15, 2026, up 85.2% year to…
