Those numbers make Injective stand out in this comparison. Revenue relative to fully diluted valuation offers one way to assess how much onchain revenue a network generates against its potential token valuation. Still, one metric can’t tell the whole story about risk or future performance. Injective now leads all major blockchains by revenue to fully diluted market cap.→ Ahead of Solana→ Over 20% ahead of Arbitrum→ Over 8x Ethereum→ Over 10x Sui and AvalancheRevenue / FDV is one of the clearest measures of whether a network’s valuation is backed by real… pic.twitter.com/MLLzOCzqJP — Injective 🥷 (@injective) October 15, 2026 The…
The proposal forms part of the FCA’s efforts to define which crypto businesses qualify for exemptions from the new framework, scheduled to take effect on Oct. 25, 2027. DeFi trading algorithms face licensing scrutiny The FCA’s consultation focuses on a technical-services exemption intended to protect software providers whose applications simply connect customers to third-party trading platforms or decentralized protocols. Under the proposed interpretation, an interface that transmits customer instructions without influencing their execution may qualify for the exemption. However, applications that evaluate competing liquidity sources, recommend trading venues, or determine how transactions are executed could be performing activities that require…

“Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine,” said President Trump on Truth Social Sunday morning. “Both parties have agreed. Do not break it!” Reporting for Axios, Barak Ravid said Ukrainian President Zelensky told him, “The ceasefire announcement was news for me. But if Russians agree to an energy ceasefire, Ukraine will agree.” “If President Trump negotiated it with Putin,” Zelensky continued, “please tell us when the ceasefire begins — we are ready, and we will accept it.” This is the second time President Trump has made a similar announcement, noted Bloomberg’s Javier Blas.…

Milei was linked to the Libra probe due to his promotion of the token on social media soon after its launch. Within hours, the token price plummeted, leaving over 40,000 investors affected and nearly $110 million in losses. Regarding this promotion, the court found Milei did not commit abuse of authority crimes, as he shared the token information on a personal basis without resorting to institutional or administrative acts. Finally, the court also dismissed charges of incompatible negotiations and influence peddling. In the ruling, the court stressed that it did not find evidence against Karina Milei, the president’s sister and…
A recovery phrase locked in a physical drawer offers no protection against that, as the attacker would be working from information already sitting on the blockchain. Some later payment formats hide the public key behind a hash, a digital fingerprint, until the owner spends. An attacker targeting a previously hidden key would have to wait for that exposure and might need to recover the secret quickly enough to interfere with the payment. That is also why lost coins present a difficult problem. Bitcoin can introduce stronger spending protections, but someone still needs the existing keys to move old holdings into…
The September 17 order grants temporary, conditional relief from the definition of an exchange to venues offering permissioned automated market maker pools for eligible tokenized National Market System (NMS) stock. These pools use software to let approved participants trade against committed assets. The order also provides separate dealer-definition relief for certain liquidity providers using their own capital. Its scope is narrower than the tokenized-stock label. Third-party securities providing synthetic exposure, including tokenized linked securities and security-based swaps, are excluded, as are rights and warrants. Eligibility depends on the defined security and the venue’s compliance with the order. For eligible shares,…
Market Snapshot Currently, $USDG is live on the Arbitrum network but reports no trading volume in the past 24 hours. This lack of activity underscores the need for initiatives like the Stablecoin Growth Program to stimulate engagement and trading. As the broader crypto market exhibits mixed signals, the success of this program could turn the tide for $USDG adoption, enhancing its utility and presence in the DeFi landscape. $USDG, a stablecoin from Paxos, is now operational on the Arbitrum network, which facilitates faster and cheaper transactions. The launch aims to improve integration with key partners and drive user engagement within…
The rule applies to issuers within the OCC framework, so it doesn’t provide a universal timetable for every stablecoin sale or exchange withdrawal. How the final rule changes stablecoin redemption The adopted text removed a provision that would have automatically extended stablecoin redemption to seven calendar days when demand crossed a specified threshold. Under section 15.12(d) of the OCC rule published in the Oct. 23 Federal Register, an issuer receiving stablecoin redemption requests above 10% of any brand’s outstanding issuance value in a single 24-hour period must notify its OCC supervisory office within 24 hours. The issuer can ask the…
