Gloam just launched private stablecoin payments on Robinhood Chain and Tempo

$META is now live on Solana via Sunrise and issued by Backpack Securities, with trading available immediately in Phantom, Jupiter, Raydium and other major apps. This is not another wrapped proxy. Backpack Securities holds the underlying shares through regulated brokerage infrastructure, so the token stays 1:1 redeemable and can convert back into traditional accounts through ACATS and DTCC rails. Sunrise handles the onchain side so liquid markets appear the moment the listing goes live instead of waiting for organic pools to form. That pairing removes two frictions that slowed earlier tokenized stock launches: custody institutions already understand and day-one markets traders can actually use. It also arrives right as Solana’s tokenized stock holder count moved ahead of Robinhood Chain for the first time since July. The next signal is whether META’s onchain volume in the first 48 hours clears the early benchmarks set by other Backpack listings, and whether the same apps keep routing more flow as additional large-cap names follow the same regulated path.

Fhenix just put CoFHE live on Ethereum and Arbitrum so contracts can compute directly on encrypted balances, positions, and strategies without decrypting them first. Dual-mode tokens let the same asset flip between public and confidential in a single transaction on the home chain. No bridge, no wrap, no separate privacy token, and no split liquidity. Existing wallets and DeFi apps stay compatible while the contract still enforces its rules on the hidden state.That removes the classic privacy tradeoff that kept most confidential designs from plugging into real markets. Consensys Diligence audited the system ahead of launch, and day-one partners include AlphaEngine for private strategy evaluation and Obolos for onchain equity compliance. The next signal is how quickly dual-mode volume appears in those apps relative to ordinary public flows once more protocols wire in the standard.

OCC finalized its GENIUS Act stablecoin rule today and became the first federal regulator to lock in the full framework ahead of the January 18 2027 effective date. The agency dropped the proposed automatic presumption that affiliate or third party reward programs violate the issuer interest ban. Review shifts to case by case while the two business day redemption window stays in place and the 5 million dollar capital floor now applies past the first three years. Large redemption requests above 10 percent of outstanding issuance in 24 hours still require OCC notification within a day with the option to request an extension. This gives distribution partners more room to structure rewards without an automatic block yet keeps supervisory control over stress events. The next signal is how many complete applications or waiver requests arrive before the effective date and whether the Fed and FDIC match this flexibility on yield.

Solana just moved ahead of Robinhood Chain in tokenized stock holders for the first time since July. BNB Chain still leads at 1.93M. Solana sits at 1.51M after a 62% jump in 30 days while Robinhood Chain is at 1.48M with only an 11% gain over the same window. The shift lines up with new listings from Backpack and Sunrise plus easier access through Jupiter, Phantom, and Kraken’s wallet. Those paths let users hold and move the tokens without needing a separate chain or account. Holder counts measure wallets, not unique people, so the numbers capture distribution more than deep ownership. Still, the speed of the move shows how quickly new issuance and wallet integrations can shift share once the tokens are actually usable in existing apps. The next signal is whether Solana’s holder growth stays above Robinhood’s while volume and liquidity deepen on the same venues that already showed Uniswap leading 24h tokenized stock DEX activity.

Anchorage Digital Bank is now providing direct mint and redemption of federally issued stablecoins for Securitize, so institutions can settle the dollar side of tokenized fund trades through the same regulated bank that handles custody. Securitize already supports over $4 billion in assets from managers including BlackRock, Apollo, BNY, Hamilton Lane, KKR and VanEck. One federally chartered bank covers the full path from mint to redemption and settlement in segregated accounts instead of routing dollars through external intermediaries. Anchorage’s USDtb (issued with Ethena) is already roughly 99 percent backed by BlackRock’s BUIDL fund that Securitize tokenized. This closes a practical gap institutions kept citing: the asset side can meet bank level standards while the cash leg previously sat with separate issuers. It does not magically monetize the volume that still mostly escapes pure AUM fees, but it puts the regulated rails for digital dollars and tokenized funds under one counterparty. The next signal is how quickly measurable settlement volume moves onto these direct bank rails once more asset managers test the combined flow against the $4 billion already on platform.

Pineapple Financial is moving records for more than 29,000 funded mortgages worth over $10B onto Injective, with more than $1B already onchain as of early September from 2,079 loans. These are not new securities or fractional ownership stakes. Each record is a digital counterpart of an existing loan file carrying over 500 data points for verification, audit trails and risk analysis while the actual mortgages stay under their original legal and servicing structure. That distinction matters. It turns the chain into a shared source of truth for institutional data rather than another venue for synthetic exposure, which could support a permissioned data marketplace and later yield products without forcing full ownership transfer. The practical test is whether the migration continues at the current pace and whether the new Pentiv tools start generating measurable onchain activity beyond static records.

Hyperliquid Policy Center is pushing the CFTC to let perpetual contracts on AI compute list in the U.S.

Solana activates Alpenglow on mainnet today, replacing TowerBFT with Votor in a single slot and targeting finality near 150 milliseconds instead of the previous 12.8 seconds. Votes move off the ledger as direct messages between validators, freeing blockspace for user transactions and removing Proof of History from the consensus path. The design can tolerate 20 percent malicious stake plus another 20 percent offline at the same time. This is the biggest consensus change since launch and the first live engine swap on a running chain without a full restart. Sub-second finality changes the settlement math for high-frequency tokenized asset flows and agent activity that previously had to sit through multiple slots. The next signal is whether observed finality holds close to the 150 ms target once user transactions resume after the short handoff window.

ethereum:0xad29f2723fcdbcf665f210f25e06f97477e417cf completed its first open market buyback and burn of 1.1 million GRVT tokens, permanently removing close to 1% of circulating supply on its zero knowledge chain. The platform offers self custodial trading for both crypto and RWA perpetuals from a single balance. Monthly rounds are planned at the issuer’s discretion and fully verifiable on the public dashboard. This buyback is the first of five milestones leading into Grvt 2.0 at the end of November, which adds Earn yields on tokenized fixed income, Stable Funding Perps on commodities equities forex and indices, and the ability to use yield as margin. The supply reduction now sits next to the product suite that can actually drive volume onto the ZK venue. The next signal is whether monthly burns hold near this size once the new perps markets and Earn product start generating real activity.

France’s National Assembly voted 38-37 to tax crypto to stablecoin swaps as sales, ending the deferral for conversions into MiCA e-money tokens such as USDC and EURC. If the language stays in the budget bill, the current 31.4% flat tax would apply from 1 January 2027. Holders who rotate into stables between trades or for yield would trigger a taxable event on every swap instead of waiting for a fiat cashout. The single vote margin and government opposition leave room for the Senate to remove it, yet the proposal already treats regulated stables more like cash equivalents than crypto. The next test is whether the final finance bill keeps the language or industry pushback strips it in later stages.

Walt just opened AI agent trading for perpetual futures inside Telegram. Users connect ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or Mira to a dedicated account that cannot withdraw funds, and every trade still needs explicit confirmation. The isolation and confirmation step matter more than which model is connected, because a bad prompt on high leverage still liquidates fast. The real test is whether the confirmation requirement keeps risk contained once the chat flow feels normal, or whether people simply size up once the process is familiar. Watching how many dedicated AI agent accounts get funded in the first week.

Breaking ⚡️: @DefiLlama just teamed up with Trueo so you can trade prediction markets that settle directly on its data. Revenue markets are live for Hyperliquid, Pump, Aero, Uniswap, Collector Crypt and Papertrade. Exploit markets cover whether Aave or Morpho sees a qualifying bad debt or exploit this month plus weekly and monthly markets on the size of the largest hack. Other contracts track Robinhood Chain RWA market cap, its DEX volume, and whether Solana or Base finishes the week with higher TVL. The contracts sit on the same dashboards people already use to follow the numbers instead of sending them to a separate venue.

🔥 LATEST: Injective’s Community BuyBack returns tomorrow at 9AM ET with a pool already over $245K (28,000+ $INJ) plus the second Stockdrop. Commit $INJ, it gets permanently burned, you earn a pro rata cut of onchain ecosystem revenue, and every participating address gets a shot at a randomized tokenized stock on Solana for the first time. Burns and real usage now feed directly into equity rewards on a new chain.

🔥 LATEST: Microsoft, Alphabet and Goldman Sachs just joined the list of companies objecting to their shares being tokenized on the OKXICE venue. The OKX and NYSE parent joint venture targeted 63 tickers under the SEC’s five year Innovation Exemption. Sixteen issuers have now opted out, leaving 47 without a disclosed objection. Those objections keep the names off the permissioned pools while the framework gets its first real test.

🔥 LATEST: Tether joined Tenstorrent’s 1.5B Series E at a 6.2B valuation to back open AI hardware. The round scales Galaxy server production so more teams can run models independently. Watching Galaxy commercial deployments this quarter as independent compute expands.

Just in 🔥: 1inch just added support for 450+ Ondo tokenized stocks and ETFs on Solana through Fusion RFQ and the app. Each asset is backed by the underlying share, giving Solana users another direct route to trade them without leaving the chain. This expands access beyond earlier integrations and puts more of Ondo’s catalog into existing Solana trading flows.

LATEST: 👀 BlackRock is eyeing tokenized funds as collateral for normal Wall Street trades. BUIDL already backs institutional positions on Binance and sits near $2.3 billion. Dan Maley says the next move is linking that into traditional financing so holders can pledge the shares without redeeming first. Yield stays on while the position supports margin around the clock.

🔥 LATEST: Zcash developers are reviewing NU7 testnet results today to set the mainnet activation height. The upgrade has run on public testnet since October 4 at block 4,465,026, dropping the target from 75 seconds to 25 seconds while routing 60% of fees into the Network Sustainability Mechanism and suspending Sprout spending through the v4 disablement. November 5 stays the target if the review clears.

🚨 JUST IN: Hyperliquid Policy Center just filed its comment supporting the SEC’s Regulation Crypto Assets proposal and asked for five refinements on airdrops, secondary trading, safe harbor, buybacks and federal preemption. The draft would open a $75 million annual fundraising path plus a safe harbor for tokens that no longer depend on their developers. This keeps a federal route open for builders who want clear rules instead of launching offshore.
