  1. A Won-Stablecoin Pair on Binance Would Move the Exchange

    A new Bank of Korea issue note finds that letting investors buy dollar stablecoins directly with a local currency narrows the local premium and can weaken that currency — a channel the won has dodged only because Binance has no direct won pair yet.

  2. Yuno Bundles Revolut's Payment Stack Behind One API

    A new partnership lets merchants activate Revolut's checkout, acquiring and gateway services through Yuno's existing single-API connection — but only in the UK, EEA, Singapore and Australia, the markets where Revolut Pay is live at checkout. The deal lands three weeks after Yuno's $45 million Series B, showing where fintech capital, including a Gulf-focused investor, is betting inside payments infrastructure.

  3. Tether Leads $3M Seed for Colombia's Plenti

    USDT issuer Tether led a $3 million seed round into Medellín-based multicurrency app Plenti, with Verda Ventures co-investing — a small check that signals a bigger shift: stablecoin issuers writing equity into the apps that distribute their own token in currency-volatile markets.

  4. New Jersey Asks the Supreme Court Whether a CFTC License

    New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport petitioned the Supreme Court on September 2, 2026, to resolve a circuit split over whether federal commodities law shields CFTC-registered prediction markets like Kalshi from state gambling statutes.

  5. Blockstream's Liquid Network Recovers 3,400 of 4,000

    A software bug in Liquid's Elements codebase — not a stolen key — let an outsider mint unbacked L-BTC and drain roughly $320 million from the network's federation reserve. Most of the bitcoin is back, but a $47 million shortfall still leaves the 1:1 peg unresolved.

  6. Canary's Staked TRX ETF Launches

    Canary Capital's TRXS started trading Wednesday on Cboe BZX as the first US ETF pairing TRON exposure with on-chain staking. But the fee terms circulating around the launch — a 1.10% management fee and a 20% cut of staking rewards — trace to CoinGape's report on a later filing amendment, not to the S-1/A that SEC EDGAR shows publicly, where both fields are still blank.

  7. Ramp in Talks to Raise $1 Billion at $60 Billion Valuation

    The corporate-card and spend-management platform would be repriced for the third time in roughly 13 months — a 36% markup on the $44 billion Series F it closed three months earlier — under terms Bloomberg says are still unsettled.

  8. Visa Says Trust, Not Technology, Is the Blocker to Agentic

    CEO Ryan McInerney told investors AI-assisted shopping has already taken hold, but survey figures he cited show most consumers still won't let an AI agent complete a payment on its own — unless Visa is named as the network standing behind it.

  9. Robinhood's Unsponsored AMC Stock Tokens Expose

    Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev says AMC's shares are fair game for tokenization without the company's sign-off; AMC CEO Adam Aron calls the product "vile" and is threatening to go to the SEC. The real story is a structural loophole, not a personality clash.

  10. Dogecoin's 5% Drop Masks the Real Signal

    While a broad token sell-off sent dogecoin, BNB and XRP sharply lower on Sept. 10, bitcoin held near $78,000 — and the more durable infrastructure story is the three-week, $3.8 billion run into US spot bitcoin ETFs, not the chart pattern getting the headlines.

  11. Tether and Fasanara Seed a $400M Private Credit Fund

    StableFund pairs Fasanara's fintech-lending origination network with Tether's stablecoin settlement rails to fund SME and consumer loans in 60+ countries. The launch lands weeks after Tether's Q2 attestation showed its excess reserves cut roughly in half.

  12. CIB Bank and Visa Turn a 'Free' Payment Ring

    The RingPay contactless ring Hungary's CIB Bank is handing out isn't a doorstep freebie — it's a conditional coupon tied to opening a new current account and hitting a spending threshold, with Visa co-funding the wearable push.

  13. SEBI's Demat 2.0 Ties Tokenized Corporate Bonds

    A pilot from India's securities regulator has moved ₹1,025 crore of REC, Larsen & Toubro and IIFL Finance bonds onto a distributed ledger, settling them against the Reserve Bank of India's central-bank digital currency rather than a public blockchain.

  14. OpenAI's ChatGPT for Financial Services Sells the Audit

    OpenAI launched a Wall Street-specific ChatGPT built with Morgan Stanley and Evercore, wiring in premium data feeds and a line-item citation trail aimed at satisfying compliance desks rather than showcasing raw model capability.
