A proposed XRP Ledger (XRPL) upgrade could let banks and fintechs absorb XRP costs so customers never need to hold the token.The Sponsor amendment, based on the XLS-68 Sponsored Fees and Reserves proposal, would let a company pay account reserves and transaction fees for another XRPL user while that customer retains control of their account and private keys.For financial institutions, the change would remove one of the frictions involved in deploying products on the network: requiring every customer to acquire and manage XRP before interacting with tokenized assets, payments or other applications.Jazzi Cooper, Ripple’s head of product, said the feature…

Circle is tying major financial institutions to its Arc blockchain as operators, investors, and future users ahead of its Sept. 16 mainnet launch.BlackRock, DTCC, Visa, Mastercard, and ICE are among 11 outside institutions Circle named as founding validators, alongside Circle itself, giving some prospective users a direct role in finalizing transactions. More than 100 institutional and ecosystem builders are already working on Arc’s private mainnet.The relationships extend beyond network operations. BlackRock was among investors in Circle’s private sale of ARC tokens and is expected to deploy its BUIDL money-market fund on Arc. DTCC is both a founding validator and a…

Firelight is preparing to turn XRP-linked assets into capital that backs protection for DeFi users, offering holders a new source of yield in exchange for putting their collateral at risk.The Flare-based protocol lets holders deposit FXRP, an XRP-linked asset on Flare, into a vault and receive stXRP representing their position. Firelight’s next phase would use that deposited FXRP to back coverage sold to DeFi protocols. Customers pay premiums for the protection, and those payments generate income for the holders supplying the collateral.The trade-off is that getting the collateral back could take much longer. Firelight’s withdrawal rules say its current one-day…

Aave V4 lenders supplying wrapped Ether (WETH), USDC or USDT to its Core liquidity Hub on Ethereum would receive a bad-debt backstop under a Sept. 11 proposal from TokenLogic. The Umbrella plan would put Aave’s DAO first in absorbing losses, followed by volunteer underwriters, while limiting this initial coverage to those three lending markets.The proposed underwriting targets are 800 ETH for Core WETH, 400,000 USDC for Core USDC and 400,000 USDT for Core USDT. TokenLogic sized them for six to eight weeks of expected loan growth. They are targets for a proposed configuration, not balances already committed to protecting lenders.For…

TRON’s draft quantum-signature design could leave some migrated accounts unable to replace their keys after network governance disables the signing scheme they depend on. Some of those accounts could still make payments through a separate permission.The design includes a possible recovery route through a second quantum-resistant signature scheme. To use it, holders would need the surviving keys to meet the account’s existing owner threshold, the level of authority required to change permissions. A backup key authorized only for payments would leave that repair power out of reach.That is the practical question behind Justin Sun’s quantum push. On Aug. 8, 2026,…

India’s securities regulator has launched a pilot that places corporate bonds and their cash settlement on linked digital rails, moving ₹1,025 crore through the first three issuances while preserving the securities’ existing legal and economic terms.The Securities and Exchange Board of India announced Demat 2.0 on Sept. 10 after REC Limited, L&T Limited and IIFL completed tokenized bond issues on Sept. 7 and Sept. 9. The transactions comprised ₹500 crore from REC, ₹500 crore from L&T and ₹25 crore from IIFL, according to SEBI’s release. Further Stage I issuance is ongoing.The central change is how the security and payment meet.…

Opposition to the CLARITY Act widened on Sept. 14 as banks, Democrats, state attorneys general and developer advocates rejected key compromises.The backlash came hours after Senate Republicans released what they described as their final version of the landmark crypto market-structure bill, incorporating 126 substantive changes Democrats requested and new provisions to resolve disputes over ethics, stablecoin rewards, developers and prediction markets.However, those changes have yet to win over several of the bill’s most vocal critics, as banking groups said new protections against deposit flight would act too late, and Democrats challenged the strength of ethics restrictions involving President Donald Trump.The…

A future quantum-safe Bitcoin will have to pass through the systems that hold and move today’s coins. Exchanges, institutional custodians, hardware wallets and key-management platforms would all need to adopt new rules while continuing to process deposits, withdrawals, approvals, backups and recoveries.That operational challenge moved to the center of the debate after Coinbase published a September 9 account of a post-quantum Bitcoin workshop it hosted with Stanford and Localhost Research. Coinbase said the closed-door session brought together developers, cryptographers, institutional custodians and hardware-wallet experts. Participants reached no consensus on an exact post-quantum approach and identified open tradeoffs involving transaction size,…

Senate Republicans rewrote key parts of the CLARITY Act as they made a final push for Democratic votes Tuesday.“This text is truly bipartisan and includes more than 120 of Democrats’ demands,” Sen. Cynthia Lummis said Monday as she, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott and Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman John Boozman released the final draft.Republicans put the tally at 126 substantive changes Democrats requested over more than a year of negotiations.The newest round is narrower, concentrating on four disputes that remained unsettled: ethics rules for federal officials, a backstop for stablecoin-related bank deposit flight, the scope of developer protections and…
