ECB Launches a Wholesale Digital Euro for Banks
The ECB has gone live with Pontes, a settlement platform that lets banks and eligible institutions settle tokenized-asset transactions in central bank money rather than private stablecoins.
Pontes acts as a bridge connecting DLT-based securities platforms to the Eurosystem's TARGET real-time gross settlement system, so on-chain trades can settle directly in central bank money. An initial group of banks and DLT operators has already onboarded and can use the service right away, with more committed to join. The Governing Council approved the plan back in July 2025, pairing the short-term Pontes pilot with Appia, a longer-term project for integrated DLT-based capital markets.

Who Led the Rally: Weekly Gainers Among Top 300
Bitcoin broke $85,000 while Ethereum climbed to $2,700, and the rest of the market followed — only 15 of the top 300 closed the week red.
The biggest stories of the week: NEAR (+77%) and Arbitrum (ARB, +63%). Both moved double digits at multi-billion caps ($5.55B and $1.49B), proof the rally reached the majors, not just microcaps like DRV (+173%) and AKE (+160%).
Fetch.ai Exploited for $2M via a Leaked Signing Key
An attacker used a leaked signing key to drain Fetch.ai's Ethereum token converter, then reused the same key to hit NuNet, walking away with roughly $2M across the two AI projects in one coordinated attack.
Around 8.7M FET (~$1.53M) was swept from Fetch.ai's TokenConversionManagerV3 contract on Ethereum, while on NuNet the attacker minted 408.5M NTX (~$452K), sending the token down about 95%. Security firms Blockaid and PeckShield attribute both hits to the same wallet cluster. Fetch.ai says it is also investigating unauthorized AGIX and WMTX mints, raising concerns over token supply across affiliated projects.

Binance Wallet Launches Pre-Access With PancakeSwap
Binance Wallet launched Pre-Access, a new campaign hosted by PancakeSwap that gives users tokenized, indirect exposure to popular private companies before they potentially go public.
The program is fully on-chain and self-custodial: users join with BNB or stablecoins, then raise their allocation quota through Alpha Points and on-chain bStocks trading volume and holdings. Binance stresses the exposure is indirect and contractual, routed through third-party structures such as a fund, LP, or SPV rather than direct ownership of shares or equity, and warns the tokens are high-risk, may be illiquid, and subject to lock-ups. The first project is set to be revealed soon.

Top Exchanges by Active Perp Liquidity (USD markets)
Binance and MEXC each hold nearly $3B in active perp liquidity, about double any other venue. Then a sharp drop: Hyperliquid $2.09B, Gate $1.83B, and Bitget with ~$1.1B.
The story here is Hyperliquid — the only DEX near the top, beating Bybit, OKX and Bitget on active perp liquidity. On-chain perps now compete with the biggest CEXs for real depth.
Ethena to permanently unlock StablecoinX's ENA on October 5
Ethena Foundation and Ethena OpCo have agreed to permanently waive the lock-up on the ENA held by StablecoinX, its Nasdaq-listed treasury vehicle, with the release taking effect on October 5.
The waiver terminates a 48-month contractual lock, plus all vesting and unlocking restrictions, on StablecoinX's ENA position, aligning it with the release date the Foundation already set for other ENA holders. Going forward, StablecoinX can sell ENA to fund working capital and strategic needs, but must give the Foundation at least five business days' notice, during which the Foundation may elect to buy the tokens first at the proposed price.

NYSE Eyes Avalanche for 24/7 Onchain Trading
NYSE is weighing Avalanche as the settlement layer for a 24/7 onchain trading platform its parent ICE is building for tokenized securities.
The venue would list tokenized securities that trade around the clock, pairing NYSE's Pillar matching engine with onchain settlement so stocks can change hands against stablecoins at any hour. NYSE executive Michael Blaugrund said Avalanche "checks a lot of those boxes for us, so we're very engaged with the team," while framing the work as an evaluation of an alternative trading system that is still in development, with no launch date set.

Arc has introduced Arc Studio, an AI coding agent that turns natural-language prompts into full-stack onchain applications, including frontend interfaces, backend logic, and smart contracts.
Studio is built around Arc and Circle’s infrastructure, with integrations for CCTP, Gateway, Wallets, and other stablecoin tools. Generated apps can be tested across nine EVM chains, including Arc, Ethereum, Base, Avalanche, Arbitrum, and Unichain, while the resulting code can be exported into developers’ own repositories.

SEC Greenlights Onchain Tokenized Stocks
The SEC issued an innovation exemption that permits limited onchain trading of tokenized NMS stocks, giving crypto platforms a temporary, conditional path to list and trade share tokens without full registration.
The order is part of Chair Paul Atkins' Project Crypto agenda and ships with guardrails, including exposure limits, disclosure requirements and a time-boxed sandbox, alongside a request for public comment. Tokenized shares can trade around the clock in fractional sizes, but holders receive price exposure only, without the voting or dividend rights that come with owning the underlying stock.

S&P Global to Acquire OpenZeppelin
S&P Global has agreed to acquire OpenZeppelin, the security firm behind the open-source smart-contract library that underpins much of onchain finance, in a deal with undisclosed terms.
OpenZeppelin's audited Contracts library secures more than $37 trillion in value transferred, spanning the majority of major stablecoins and tokenized funds, and the firm has run over 900 security engagements since its founding in 2015. It will continue to operate under its own name as a distinct business unit, with CEO Demian Brener reporting to Yann Le Pallec, President of S&P Global Ratings.

WhiteBIT's WBT Hits a New All-Time High at $86.45
WBT set a new ATH, about 18% above its August peak of $73, and roughly 50x its 2022 debut. Market cap $10.3B, ranked #14.
The token has traded through four years and multiple cycles without a tokenomics reset, and was added to five S&P Dow Jones crypto benchmarks in 2025. Burns funded by exchange fees are set to move max supply toward 200M.
Coinbase Launches Retail IPO Access With Oura
Coinbase is opening IPO share allocations to US retail traders, letting eligible customers request shares at the offer price before a stock starts trading on the open market.
The feature debuts with Oura, the Finnish smart-ring maker that filed to list on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker OURA, with an IPO of up to 50M shares targeted at $40 to $44. Coinbase says requests may be filled in full, in part or rejected depending on demand, eligibility rules apply, and allocations are not guaranteed.

Confidential DeFi Goes Live: 16 Zama Vaults on Morpho
Public blockchains expose every trade you make — size, entry, strategy. For serious capital, that's a dealbreaker.
Zama turns it off. 16 confidential vaults on Morpho: the yield is there, the positions aren't. Deposits enter strategies as a single encrypted batch, so no individual stake is readable.
2.5–11.3% APY, $75M already shielded, curated by institutions. Not privacy instead of yield — privacy with it.
ZetaChain Shuts Down L1, Migrates ZETA to Solana
ZETA holders voted to shut down the Layer 1 and migrate ZETA to Solana as a native SPL token, with the proposal passing 99.4% in favor on 58% turnout, well above the 40% quorum.
The team is redirecting its focus to Anuma, a private AI app it launched in February that now counts over 300,000 users and has served 1 million model requests across 35 models. It argues the project no longer needs its own chain, and pointed to the upkeep and security load of the Cosmos SDK stack, noting that AI tooling is making such vulnerabilities easier to find. ZetaChain raised roughly $27M three years ago. ZETA will convert 1:1 to a Solana SPL token, keeping its ticker, total supply and vesting schedules, though ZETA on Ethereum and BNB Chain is excluded from the move.

a16z-Backed Linera Shuts Down Over Funding
Linera is shutting down immediately, the a16z-backed Layer 1 blockchain told its community, citing insufficient funding to keep operating.
Its token sale on Sonar drew nearly $900K in commitments but missed the minimum threshold, so all contributions were refunded, and a last-ditch emergency funding push also failed. Founded by former Meta researcher Mathieu Baudet, Linera raised roughly $12M across two rounds in 2022 and 2023, with a16z backing both alongside Borderless Capital, GSR, Matrixport Ventures, and Flow Traders. The team is winding down its app and Discord, and says Points balances will stay on record with no guaranteed future benefits.

Hyperliquid Opens Manual Borrows on HyperCore
Hyperliquid has switched on manual borrowing across HyperCore, its native onchain money market, with roughly $269 million in assets already drawn since the feature went live.
HyperCore runs the lending book directly inside Hyperliquid's exchange layer, not as a separate HyperEVM smart contract. Users on Portfolio Margin, the platform's most capital-efficient account type, can supply eligible assets into a reserve to earn interest and borrow stablecoin reserves against the collateral they post. Stablecoin borrow rates follow a utilization curve that holds a flat 5% floor below 80% utilization, then climbs steeply as the reserve tightens.

The Graveyard of U.S. Crypto Laws
Token Taxonomy died in committee — three times. FIT21 passed the House, then died in the Senate. SAB 121 got vetoed. CLARITY just failed cloture 49-50.
The only U.S. crypto law to cross the finish line was about stablecoins. Market structure is still a graveyard.
BitMine's $19B ETH Bet Is Now $5B Underwater
BitMine is the single biggest ETH holder on Earth: ~4.9% of all ether in existence, #1 ETH treasury, #2 crypto treasury behind Strategy.
Since July 2025 it bought ETH every single week, no misses: 5.82M ETH, $19.3B deployed at an avg entry of $3,321. At today's $2,435, that stack is worth $14.2B, a $5.1B unrealized loss, −27%.
Crypto.com Clears SEC for US Stock Futures
Crypto.com registered with the SEC for single-stock futures, clearing the way to offer US traders futures on individual stocks through its Nadex exchange and OG.com unit.
The registration became effective on September 14 and was acknowledged by the SEC on September 16. Nadex is already registered with the CFTC as a designated contract market and clearing organization. CEO Kris Marszalek said the firm is now working with both the SEC and CFTC to launch single-stock perpetual futures, days after Coinbase filed for equity perps of its own.

Ostium Defaults on $15M Loan, Heads to Court
Ostium defaulted on a roughly $15M crypto loan from a Hong Kong lender, and a New York federal court has now set a hearing in the escalating dispute.
The loan's assignee, ESS Frontier LLC, sued in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (case 1:26-cv-07645) and secured a temporary restraining order freezing Ostium's assets while it pushes the claim into arbitration. The default follows a July oracle exploit that drained about $23.75M from the onchain perpetuals exchange, which is also under CFTC scrutiny in the wake of the hack.

Genius Announced the Launch of genius.fun
Genius rolled out genius.fun, a new RWA launchpad on BNB Chain that lets tokenized shares be split into smaller units and pooled together to acquire real, publicly listed companies onchain.
The platform fractionalizes tokenized equity so holders can combine their positions into acquisition capital, turning an onchain market into a vehicle for taking stakes in traditional stock-exchange-listed firms. It frames genius.fun as one of the first attempts to route real-world asset tokenization beyond secondary trading and into direct corporate ownership, where token holders coordinate to buy into companies rather than just trade paper claims on them.

Celsius Sues BitMEX for $495M Over 2020 Crash
Celsius' bankruptcy estate has sued entities linked to BitMEX in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, seeking about $495 million tied to Bitcoin's March 2020 crash.
The complaint was brought by the Blockchain Recovery Investment Consortium (BRIC) on behalf of Celsius and alleges fraud, market manipulation, and wrongful liquidations during the March 2020 sell-off, covering 6,360 BTC worth roughly $495 million at the time of filing. The filing landed on September 12, just 11 days before BitMEX is scheduled to stop trading on September 23. The allegations have not been established by the court.
