RaveDAO Expands European Footprint, Co-Hosting 2026 Lisbon Dance Summit (5 Mar)
Lisbon, Portugal, March 5th, 2026, Chainwire
RaveDAO, the world’s largest web3-native live entertainment collective, will co-host the upcoming 2026 Lisbon Dance Summit (LDS), joining a distinguished lineup of global electronic music leaders, artists, investors, and policy advocates to explore the future of music, culture, and infrastructure.
Lisbon Dance Summit brings together decision-makers from across the electronic music ecosystem, including booking agencies, labels, venues, advocacy groups, and international conference platforms. Some of the confirmed speakers include, Enrico Sangiuliano, Finlay Johnson (AFEM), Joyce Muniz, Jan-Willem Van de Ven (ADE), Mathew Jonson, Juliet Fox, Lorain de Silva (Best Nights VC), Mariana Matos (She.Said.So), Carl Loben (DJ Mag), Anja Schneider, Katie Bain (Billboard), David Castellani, Martin Fuller (Trésor Academy), Nazen Carneiro, Yen Sung, Padre Guilherme, Roland Leesker (Get Physical), Patrice Bäumel, Yemu Xu (RaveDAO), Seb Martison (Milk & Honey), Wehbba, Sébastien Léger, David De Valera (Spike Management), Paul Wiltshire (Songtradr) and many other key institutions shaping the electronic music industry and nightlife ecosystem.
RaveDAO’s initiator, Yemu Xu, will join the speaker lineup to present a new framework for culture infrastructure in the age of decentralization.
Tickets for Lisbon Dance Summit are available via PLVR: https://www.plvr.io/events/lisbon-dance-summit-20260429-pt
Bridging International Artists and Lisbon’s Electronic Scene
Lisbon has rapidly emerged as a key European cultural hub, attracting global talent while nurturing a strong local scene. Through Lisbon Dance Summit, the city becomes not only a stage, but a connector linking Portuguese artists and institutions with international networks.
RaveDAO’s role as co-host reflects its broader mission of bridging international electronic artists and emerging markets to connect global touring circuits with locally rooted communities.
Since its first sold-out event in Dubai in 2024, RaveDAO has expanded across Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Asia, hosting large-scale experiences with more than 100,000 total attendees and over 3,000 participants per event. By integrating music, technology, and community participation, RaveDAO positions cultural gatherings not as isolated festivals, but as nodes in a global network.
From Events to Infrastructure
Lisbon Dance Summit gathers the people who shape electronic music at every level: global conference organizers, club operators, booking agencies, artist managers, labels, policy groups, and capital providers.
In this context, RaveDAO’s contribution goes beyond event production. It introduces a structural question: how can electronic music evolve from a touring economy into a participatory ecosystem?
RaveDAO frames electronic music as a global, community-driven movement, one where artists, organizers, and attendees share ownership in the culture they build. By integrating on-chain identity, participation tracking, and decentralized governance models, it seeks to transform electronic music from a consumption-based model into a participation-based system.
Rather than separating audiences from operators, RaveDAO’s model aligns incentives across creators, local chapters, and global stakeholders.
Bridging Technology and Electronic Music
Lisbon Dance Summit also reflects a growing convergence between technology and electronic culture. Panels include discussions around sustainability, Web3, digital rights, nightlife investment, and new economic models for artists.
Electronic music has historically been at the forefront of technological adoption, from drum machines and synthesizers to digital distribution. RaveDAO extends this trajectory by bringing web3-based coordination tools into live culture.
Its goal is not to financialize music, but to provide new infrastructure for ownership, participation, and long-term community continuity.
A Globalized, Community-Centered Electronic Movement
Electronic music has always traveled across borders. From Detroit to Berlin, from Ibiza to Seoul, it has evolved as a global language.
RaveDAO’s vision builds on that history. It sees electronic music not just as entertainment, but as a vehicle for global cultural coordination to bridge cities, industries, and generations.
By co-hosting Lisbon Dance Summit, RaveDAO reinforces its position within the international music leadership conversation, alongside institutions that shape policy, booking, artist development, and capital allocation.
As Lisbon strengthens its position as an emerging European hub for contemporary electronic culture, RaveDAO’s presence underscores a broader shift: culture is no longer just programmed. It is coordinated.
And increasingly, it is owned by the communities that sustain it.
About RaveDAO
RaveDAO is a global community uniting music, technology, and purpose. Since their first sold-out event at Dubai 2024, they have expanded across Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Asia, hosting world-class experiences with over 100,000 total attendees and 3,000+ attendees for each event.
RaveDAO has worked with top-tier artists like Vintage Culture, Don Diablo, Miss Monique, Eli Brown, Chris Avantgarde, Lilly Palmer, MORTEN, Bassjackers, and GENESI, and has support from WLFI, Binance, OKX, Bybit, Bitget, and Polygon. RaveDAO is redefining live entertainment in Web3 and has active partnerships with 1001Tracklists, AMF, and Warner Music.
Beyond the dance floor, RaveDAO channels energy and attention toward impact. In 2025 alone, proceeds from its events helped restore sight to 400+ cataract patients in Nepal and fund over 150 meditation programs across the U.S.

The 21st-Century Time Deposit: Nexo Redefines Digital Dollar Savings (5 Mar)
Buenos Aires, Argentina, March 5th, 2026, Chainwire
Nexo introduces a high-yield alternative designed to outperform traditional instruments such as fixed-term deposits and mutual funds.
Nexo, the global digital asset wealth platform with more than USD 8 billion in assets under management, has officially launched in Argentina following its acquisition of Buenbit and the establishment of its regional hub in Buenos Aires.
With this expansion, Nexo introduces a new digital dollar savings alternative tailored for individuals seeking to optimize returns on hard currency holdings without sacrificing security, liquidity, or control over their funds.
In Argentina’s current economic landscape, the financial conversation is evolving: it is no longer just about preserving U.S. dollars, but about putting them to work. As the industry evolves, more Argentinians are finding a practical pathway for capital — historically held outside the traditional system — to begin generating yield.
Nexo’s value proposition addresses precisely this shift: higher returns, streamlined processes, and a frictionless user experience. Through stablecoins — digital assets designed to be pegged to the U.S. dollar — users can earn daily interest without complex structures. Assets such as USDT (Tether) and USDC (USD Coin) are among the most widely used stablecoins globally. Through Nexo, users can earn up to 13% annual interest on USD-based stablecoins, significantly outperforming traditional instruments such as time deposits or mutual funds, which in the local market typically offer between approximately 0.5% and 8% annually — combining liquidity, predictability, and growth potential.
The platform also introduces crypto-backed credit to the Argentine market. This enables users holding digital assets such as Bitcoin or Ethereum to use them as collateral to access immediate liquidity without selling their positions or losing long-term exposure. Nexo is currently the world’s second-largest crypto lender, behind only Tether, the issuer of USDT.
“Argentina is a sophisticated market with high digital adoption and a strong culture of saving in hard currency,” said Federico Ogue, CEO of Buenbit by Nexo. “Our proposal is to combine that reality with global infrastructure, prudent risk management, and products designed to generate long-term value. Today, technology enables people to save in hard currency, earn yield, and access liquidity — complementing traditional financial alternatives.”
As part of its exclusive Argentina launch, Nexo will offer a limited-time welcome incentive: users who top up the equivalent of USD 1,000 or more within the first seven days of registration will automatically receive Nexo Platinum status — the highest tier of its loyalty program — for one month.
Nexo combines its global infrastructure and operational strength with the local expertise and market knowledge of CNV-licensed Buenbit. From its Buenos Aires hub, the company plans to accelerate growth across Latin America at a time when credit activity is gradually recovering but remains below historical levels, and Argentinians are actively seeking more efficient ways to save and manage their capital.
With this launch, Nexo aims to reshape how Argentinians approach saving and borrowing in hard currency during a new phase of macroeconomic stabilization. The company also announced its formal return to the United States market in 2026 in collaboration with regulated partners and in full compliance with local investment and lending frameworks.
About Nexo
Nexo is a leading digital asset wealth platform designed to help clients grow, manage, and safeguard their crypto holdings. Its mission is to power the next generation of wealth creation through tailored solutions, a client-centric approach, and 24/7 support.
Since 2018, Nexo has provided innovative financial opportunities to millions of users across more than 150 jurisdictions. With over USD 8 billion in assets under management and more than USD 403 billion processed, the company’s comprehensive platform combines advanced technology with a high-touch service model. Its offerings include flexible and fixed-term savings solutions, crypto-backed credit lines, advanced trading tools, liquidity solutions, and the first crypto card with both debit and credit functionality. Supported by a sustainable business model, robust infrastructure, and global licenses, Nexo continues to drive long-term value creation and financial innovation.

El Plazo Fijo Del Siglo XXI: Nexo Redefine El Ahorro En Dólares Digitales (5 Mar)
Buenos Aires, Argentina, March 5th, 2026, Chainwire
Nexo ofrece una propuesta de rendimientos superadora que se posiciona frente a las alternativas tradicionales como plazos fijos y fondos comunes de inversión.
Nexo, la plataforma global de gestión patrimonial en activos digitales con más de USD 8.000 millones en activos bajo administración, anunció su llegada oficial a la Argentina tras la adquisición de Buenbit y la consolidación de su hub regional en Buenos Aires. Con este desembarco, Nexo presenta en el país una nueva alternativa de ahorro en dólares digitales, diseñada para quienes buscan optimizar el rendimiento de su capital en moneda dura sin resignar seguridad, liquidez ni control sobre sus fondos.
En el contexto actual, la conversación financiera en Argentina cobra una nueva dimensión: ya no se trata sólo de preservar dólares, sino de ponerlos a trabajar. Con un marco regulatorio que avanza hacia la formalización del ahorro en activos digitales, cada vez más argentinos encuentran una vía concreta para que ese capital, históricamente guardado fuera del sistema, comience a generar rendimiento.
La propuesta de Nexo apunta exactamente a eso: mayor rentabilidad, procesos ágiles y una experiencia sin fricciones. A través de stablecoins, activos digitales que están diseñados para tener paridad 1:1 con el dólar americano, los usuarios pueden obtener intereses diarios sin plazos mínimos obligatorios ni estructuras complejas. Activos como USDT (Tether) y USDC (USD Coin) son las monedas estables más utilizadas del mercado. A través de Nexo, los usuarios pueden generar rendimientos de hasta un 13% anual sobre stablecoins, superando ampliamente las tasas que ofrecen instrumentos tradicionales como plazos fijos o fondos comunes de inversión, que en el mercado local suelen ubicarse en un rango aproximado de 0,5% a 8% anual, combinando liquidez, previsibilidad y potencial de crecimiento.
Además, la plataforma introduce en el mercado local el crédito respaldado por criptomonedas. Esto permite que quienes tengan activos digitales como Bitcoin o Ethereum puedan utilizarlos como garantía para acceder a liquidez inmediata, sin necesidad de venderlos y perder exposición a largo plazo. Nexo es el segundo prestamista cripto más grande del mundo sólo por detrás de Tether, la empresa detrás de USDT.
“Argentina es un mercado sofisticado, con alta adopción digital y una fuerte cultura de ahorro en moneda dura. Nuestra propuesta apunta a combinar esa realidad con infraestructura global, gestión prudente de riesgo y productos diseñados para generar valor en el largo plazo”, afirmó Federico Ogue, CEO de Buenbit by Nexo. “La tecnología hoy permite ahorrar en moneda dura, generar rendimiento y acceder a liquidez, complementando las alternativas financieras tradicionales”.
Como parte de su lanzamiento exclusivo en Argentina, Nexo ofrecerá un incentivo de bienvenida por tiempo limitado: quienes depositen USD 1.000 o más dentro de los primeros 7 días desde el registro accederán automáticamente durante un mes al nivel Nexo Platinum, el nivel más alto del programa de beneficios.
Nexo combina la infraestructura global y la solidez operativa con la trayectoria y el conocimiento del mercado local de Buenbit, registrada como Proveedor de Servicios de Activos Virtuales (PSAV) ante la CNV. Desde Buenos Aires, la compañía proyecta consolidar su crecimiento en América Latina, en un contexto donde el crédito comienza a reactivarse, pero aún permanece por debajo de sus niveles históricos, y los argentinos buscan alternativas más eficientes para ahorrar y administrar su dinero.
Con este lanzamiento, Nexo busca redefinir cómo los argentinos se relacionan con el ahorro y el crédito en moneda dura en una nueva etapa de estabilidad macroeconómica. Además, la compañía anunció su regreso formal al mercado de Estados Unidos en 2026 en colaboración con socios regulados y de conformidad con el marco de la normativa local para productos de inversión y crédito.

Transacta Partners With CryptoJets to Support Growing Demand for Crypto Payments in Private Aviat...
Tallinn, Estonia, March 4th, 2026, Chainwire
CryptoJets, a global private jet and helicopter brokerage, has announced a partnership with Transacta to support the growing demand for cryptocurrency payments in private aviation.
The growing demand for fast and secure crypto payments
Demand for cryptocurrency payment options in luxury travel continues to grow as wealth shifts toward younger generations. The private aviation sector is increasingly embracing digital currencies, driven by both practical needs and broader market development.
Built for travelers who value privacy, speed, and flexibility, CryptoJets operates with access to a global network of more than 5,000 charter operators, providing on-demand private jet and helicopter services to clients worldwide.
As the volume of crypto-funded bookings continued to grow, the company identified the need to further optimize payment speed, settlement reliability, and geographic coverage. Through its partnership with Transacta, CryptoJets is expanding its route network and operational capacity across 180 countries while offering clients a more streamlined way to process high-value charter payments.
“Crypto payments have already been part of how our clients prefer to pay,” said Erik Rand, Head of Operations at CryptoJets. “This partnership allows us to process those payments faster, improve settlement across markets, and scale our operations without compromising on compliance or client experience.”
Expertise in settling high-value transactions for luxury merchants worldwide

Paris Blockchain Week 2026 Returns to Bridge Institutions and Digital Assets (3 Mar)
Pairs, France, March 3rd, 2026, Chainwire
Paris Blockchain Week 2026 will take place April 15–16, 2026, at the Carrousel du Louvre, reinforcing its position as Europe’s leading institutional conference for digital assets and traditional finance. Under the theme “Where Institutions and Digital Assets Finally Meet,” the event convenes senior leaders from global banks, asset managers, and blockchain infrastructure firms at a defining moment for regulated digital markets.
As the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation enters full implementation, the 2026 agenda centers on institutional adoption, compliance, custody, tokenization, ETFs, and evolving market structure. The program reflects a broader industry shift from experimentation toward operational deployment within established financial systems.
“A willingness to constantly innovate, test, and adapt is just part of our DNA at PBW. We are guided by discipline, a shared purpose, and a clear understanding of what matters to the diverse stakeholders we convene. Each edition is carefully developed, always attuned to the prevailing global context and market dynamics. No two editions of PBW are ever the same. This year, we are placing a much greater focus on institutional participation, which is a natural progression for the PBW community,” said Katrina Macleod, Head of Sales Paris Blockchain Week.
Confirmed speakers include Jean-Marc Stenger, CEO of Societe Generale-FORGE; Kara Kennedy, Co-Head of Kinexys at J.P. Morgan; Nikhil Sharma, Director of Digital Assets at BlackRock; Sabih Behzad, Managing Director and Head of Digital Assets at Deutsche Bank; and Jean-Jacques Barberis, Deputy CEO at Amundi. Their participation signals the growing integration of blockchain infrastructure into global capital markets.
Bybit EU joins the 2026 edition as a leading sponsor, alongside major industry participants including Ripple, Circle, Aptos, BitGo, Fireblocks, Kraken, KuCoin, and PwC. The presence of both global exchanges and regulated financial institutions highlights the convergence of digital asset platforms and traditional finance.
Paris Blockchain Week will open with its exclusive, invitation-only VIP Dinner at the Château de Versailles on April 14, 2026. The gathering will convene policymakers, institutional investors, and infrastructure providers for high-level dialogue focused on governance, regulation, and cross-border digital asset integration.
The 2026 program also features the return of Start in Block, the event’s flagship startup competition. Selected Web3 and blockchain founders will present their companies to venture capital firms and institutional investors, strengthening the bridge between innovation and global capital networks.
In 2025, Paris Blockchain Week welcomed more than 9,500 attendees, over 420 speakers, and 300 sponsors. The 2026 edition builds on that momentum with an expanded institutional agenda and curated networking designed to facilitate long-term collaboration across regulated digital markets.

Paradex Signals Upcoming $DIME Token Generation Event (3 Mar)
Toronto, Canada, March 3rd, 2026,
Paradex has announced that the Token Generation Event for its native token, $DIME, is expected to take place soon. The launch represents the next phase in the exchange’s development.
Institutional Background and Market Growth
Paradex was developed by the team behind Paradigm, an institutional crypto derivatives liquidity network that has processed more than $1 trillion in trading volume. That background is reflected in Paradex’s focus on execution quality, capital efficiency, and market structure.
Since launching their on-chain perpetuals exchange, Paradex has recorded:
Over $250 billion in cumulative trading volume
Approximately $550 million in open interest
More than 75,000 users
Peak daily trading volume above $3 billion
The exchange operates with an offchain central limit order book (CLOB) for matching, and settles transactions through a high-throughput Layer 2 appchain secured by zk-STARK proofs on Ethereum.
Focus on Market Structure and Privacy
A key differentiator for Paradex is its approach to information exposure. On transparent blockchains, position sizes and liquidation levels can often be observed publicly. Paradex encrypts sensitive state data prior to settlement while using zero-knowledge proofs to maintain validity. Access to detailed account information is restricted to verified users.
In addition, the exchange incorporates:
Zero trading fees for retail participants
Retail Price Improvement flow segmentation
A no auto-deleveraging risk model
Onchain vault infrastructure for yield strategies
These features are designed to reduce execution friction and mitigate structural risks that have historically limited institutional participation in decentralized derivatives markets.
$DIME and Network Alignment
According to Messari’s research coverage, $DIME will launch on Paradex’s spot market and will serve as the native gas token of Paradex Chain.
Messari notes that the token is structured to reduce the traditional conflict of interest between equity holders and tokenholders by directing economic value accrual to the $DIME token itself. Rather than implementing automatic buyback formulas, Paradex intends to conduct buybacks on a discretionary basis, with decisions guided by market conditions and ecosystem considerations.
Token Allocation Overview
Messari outlines the following allocation structure for $DIME:
25.1 percent Core Contributors
25.0 percent Community Airdrop
20.0 percent to Season 2 XP holders
5.0 percent to Pre-Season and Season 1 XP holders
Fully unlocked at launch
21.6 percent Ongoing Community Rewards
13.4 percent Paradigm Shareholders
10.4 percent preferred equity investors subject to a 12-month linear unlock beginning one month after listing
1.0 percent common equity holders
2.0 percent reserved for Paradigm’s balance sheet
6.0 percent Foundation Budget
5.0 percent Liquidity Programs
3.9 percent Future Core Contributors and Advisors
80% of the tokens allocated to Core Contributors and Paradigm shareholders are subject to performance-based unlock conditions. The remaining 20 percent follows a time-based vesting schedule, with 25 percent unlocking one year after listing and the remainder vesting monthly over the following 36 months.
This structure is intended to align long-term incentives between contributors and the broader community.
Looking Ahead
Paradex has stated that it plans to expand beyond perpetual futures into spot markets, options, real-world asset products, and more. The $DIME TGE represents a shift toward a network model in which the token underpins economic coordination and value accrual across the platform.
With measurable trading activity, defined tokenomics, and a focus on privacy-preserving infrastructure, the upcoming launch of $DIME will provide a clearer view into how Paradex intends to scale its on-chain derivatives model over the long term.
Further details regarding timing and listing specifics are expected to be released in the coming days. Users can check Paradex’s socials for more information.
About Paradex
Paradex is a privacy-focused decentralized perpetual futures exchange built on its own high-performance Layer 2 appchain using the Starknet stack. The platform combines an off-chain central limit order book for execution with zk-STARK-secured on-chain settlement to deliver centralized-level efficiency within a self-custodial framework.
Developed by the team behind Paradigm, an institutional crypto derivatives liquidity network that has processed over $1 trillion in trading volume, Paradex emphasizes market structure, capital efficiency, and position confidentiality. The exchange currently supports more than 100 markets and integrates features such as Retail Price Improvement flow segmentation, a no auto-deleveraging risk model, and on-chain vault infrastructure.
Paradex aims to expand its ecosystem beyond perpetual futures into spot markets, options, real-world asset products, and more, positioning itself as a broader on-chain financial infrastructure platform.

Bybit Unveils 2025 Security Milestone: Intercepts $300M in Impersonalization, Scams and Frauds Vi...
Dubai, UAE, February 27th, 2026, Chainwire
Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, today revealed the comprehensive results of its 2025 Security Initiative. Bybit has implemented an industry-leading, multi-layered defense architecture that has successfully protected thousands of users and set a new benchmark for proactive security in the digital asset space. In 2025, $17 billion in cryptocurrency was lost to scams and frauds, according to a report by Chainalysis.
Redefining Industry Standards: The Triple-Tier withdrawal Fraudulent Defense Framework
To move beyond reacting to scams after the damage is done, Bybit has pioneered a Dynamic Risk-Based protection system that steps in before money is lost. The system divides potential scam situations into three levels of risk. Each level has a different response - designed to protect the withdrawal process of users while keeping the platform smooth for normal trading activity.
Tier 1: Early Warning (Low Risk): Utilizing big-data heuristics to identify unusual patterns—such as mass withdrawals to a singular new address—Bybit deploys automated surveys. These insights allow the Risk Operations team to preemptively blacklist dangerous destinations.
Tier 2: Real-time Alert (Medium Risk): For accounts flagged via credential stuffing databases(cross-referencing leaked data from the external web) or suspicious withdrawal addresses, Bybit triggers real-time alerts during withdrawal. The alert encourages users to pause and review the withdrawal, a step aimed at countering social engineering tactics that rely on urgency or emotional pressure.
Tier 3: Immediate Blocking and Cooling-off (High Risk): For wallet addresses linked to confirmed scams, including so-called “pig butchering” investment schemes, Bybit implements Real-time Withdrawal Blocking paired with a mandatory One-Hour Cooling-Off Period, providing a vital window for users to regain composure and verify the transaction.
2025 Impact & Key Metrics: By the Numbers
The effectiveness of these measures implemented in Q4 2025 has yielded unprecedented results for user safety:
Scam Recovery & Prevention in Q4: Out of $500 million in flagged withdrawals, Bybit successfully intercepted and recovered $300 million, protecting the life savings of over 4,000 users.
AI-Driven Detection in Q4: Bybit’s proprietary AI algorithms identified 350 high-risk investment fraud addresses via on-chain data, shielding 8,000 users from potential withdrawal losses.
Infrastructure Resilience in 2025: The platform successfully thwarted over 3 million credential stuffing (account takeover) attempts by hackers.
On-Chain Vigilance in Q4: The system auto-labeled 350 addresses and manually tagged 600 addresses through ticket operations, saving $1 million in imminent fraud losses.
A Collaborative Fortress: Industry & Government Synergy
Bybit believes that security is not a competitive advantage but a collective responsibility. Our 2025 strategy focused heavily on External Intelligence Integration:
"Our mission in 2025 was to transform risk control from a ‘silent shield’ into an active, intelligent guardian," said David Zong, Head of Group Risk Control at Bybit. "By integrating AI-driven on-chain monitoring with real-time intelligence from industry partners like TRM , Elliptic and Chainalysis, we not only just protect Bybit users, but also help map the DNA of fraudulent networks. We are sharing these standardized monitoring clues across the ecosystem because a safer industry for one is a safer industry for all."

PACT Announces $PACT Token Support on Kraken, MEXC, and Gate (26 Feb)
San Francisco, CA, USA, February 26th, 2026, Chainwire
PACT, the leading on-chain credit and payments infrastructure protocol and #1 RWA protocol on Aptos, today announced that its native token, $PACT, is now supported on the world’s most trusted cryptocurrency exchanges, including Kraken, MEXC, and Gate.
PACT Expands Access as It Builds the Future of On-Chain Finance
PACT enables end-to-end, fully programmable credit infrastructure, supporting origination, servicing, repayments, covenants, waterfalls, and stablecoin settlement entirely on-chain. Unlike traditional RWA protocols that wrap off-chain credit in tokens, PACT embeds the credit system itself into blockchain rails.
Today, PACT technology is used by fintech lenders, asset managers, and financial institutions operating across emerging markets. Its infrastructure supports real-time, cross-border stablecoin flows and high-frequency micro-loan origination at scale. It enables fully automated credit facilities with built-in risk management and end-to-end repayment and settlement pipelines.
PACT runs on Aptos, leveraging its low-latency, high-throughput architecture to deliver real-time financial operations at scale. This allows credit markets – historically fragmented, slow, and opaque – to operate at the speed, automation, and transparency of a modern financial internet.
Understanding $PACT
The $PACT token serves as the core coordination and participation layer of the protocol, enabling users and stakeholders to directly shape the network’s evolution. As the native governance asset for the PACT DAO, $PACT empowers its decentralized community of token holders to propose, vote on, and implement protocol upgrades while guiding the long-term direction of PACT’s on-chain financial infrastructure. It’s used to facilitate ecosystem rewards, support community growth, and ensure transparent management of protocol revenue and treasury resources.
“Being supported by major exchanges opens the door for more people to join PACT’s community governance and contribute to the future of global credit markets. Every step like this brings us closer to a world where credit and financial access are open, transparent, natively on-chain, and available to everyone,” said Zander Rafael, Co-Founder Pact Labs.
The token underpins the system’s economic utility through staking, which strengthens network security, aligns incentives among participants, and distributes governance power based on long-term commitment.
These functions make $PACT an essential component of the protocol’s operation and the foundation for a sustainable, community-driven financial network.
A Year of Breakthrough Momentum
PACT’s ecosystem has expanded rapidly over the past year, achieving several major milestones:
$1.9B+ total loans originated on-chain through PACT-powered fintech partners
Hundreds of thousands of embedded wallets created through PACT SDKs
2,000+ loans per day originated
Creation of end-to-end stablecoin payroll and credit flows
These achievements demonstrate the global demand for programmable, on-chain financial systems and the critical role PACT plays in making credit more accessible, transparent, and efficient.
A New Phase of Global Accessibility
Support on these exchanges introduces PACT to a broader global audience, making it easier for users, partners, and developers worldwide to access and interact with the PACT ecosystem.
Kraken, MEXC, and Gate’s listings reinforce PACT’s position as a leading protocol building the foundation for the next generation of blockchain-powered financial systems.
About PACT
PACT develops the core wallet, data, and payment rails that bring asset-based lending fully on-chain. Our infrastructure enables fintechs and asset managers to access stablecoin capital, manage repayment flows, and scale lending operations across borders. Unlike projects focused on wrapping large institutional loans, PACT proves the model with high-frequency lending, facilitating thousands of smaller loans each day through our partners. This approach reduces reliance on traditional intermediaries, lowers the cost of capital, and expands access to credit. By helping fintechs transition into stablecoin-powered financial institutions, PACT is advancing both stablecoin adoption and the modernization of global lending.

Pipe Network Launches SolanaCDN: a Free, Open-Source Validator Client With Built-In Acceleration ...
San Francisco, CA, February 26th, 2026, Chainwire
SolanaCDN delivers 3.8x faster shred propagation through a global mesh of 35,000+ nodes, provided as a public good for the Solana network
Pipe Network today announced the launch of SolanaCDN, a free, open-source Solana validator client with an integrated CDN acceleration layer. Built as a fork of Anza's Agave, SolanaCDN gives every Solana validator access to faster shred propagation through Pipe's global network of 35,000+ PoP (Point-of-Presence) nodes.
The client and CDN layer are both completely free. Pipe Network is providing SolanaCDN as public good infrastructure for the Solana ecosystem.
The problem SolanaCDN solves
Validator performance on Solana is heavily influenced by network geography. Validators closer to block producers see shreds earlier, vote sooner, and earn more rewards. Validators in less connected regions face slower propagation, missed votes, and reduced leader slot revenue regardless of their hardware.
SolanaCDN addresses this by giving validators a second, faster path for shred delivery alongside native gossip. Shreds and vote packets route through Pipe's global mesh, which continuously measures every network path and routes traffic along the fastest available route in real time.
Native gossip still runs underneath. SolanaCDN adds a parallel fast lane.
Performance
SolanaCDN delivers 3.8x faster propagation than standard Turbine, with a P50 cross-region latency of approximately 78ms compared to the roughly 300ms baseline on standard gossip.
The client also ships with Pipe-built optimizations available out of the box before the CDN layer is enabled: optimized shred coalescing for leaders (Fast Shreds), snapshot downloads from Pipe's global network, and restore progress with real-time ETAs during validator catchup.
Public good infrastructure
Faster propagation is a network effect. Every validator running SolanaCDN improves shred delivery globally, which means faster block finalization, fewer forks, and fewer missed slots across the entire Solana network.
"Validator performance shouldn't be determined by geography," said David Rhodus, CEO of Pipe Network. "SolanaCDN gives every validator access to the same fast infrastructure. The more validators that run it, the faster Solana gets for everyone."
Technical design
SolanaCDN is a fully compatible Agave fork. Validators can install it as a drop-in replacement for their existing client. The CDN layer is optional, activated with a single configuration flag, and is non-consensus by design. It does not modify block production, consensus logic, leader scheduling, or voting rules. All CDN operations are non-blocking and fail-safe. If the CDN layer is unavailable, the validator continues operating normally.
Built-in Prometheus metrics and CDN-versus-gossip race data give operators full visibility into performance changes in their environment.
Availability
SolanaCDN is available now. The source code is published on GitHub and the client is ready to run on Solana mainnet-beta.

Yellow Capital Launches TradePoint to Streamline Token Distribution for Web3 Projects (26 Feb)
London, UK, February 26th, 2026, Chainwire
Yellow Capital, a leading market-making firm with a venture arm focused on supporting Web3 projects, announced the launch of TradePoint, a proprietary platform for token distribution, CEX visibility, and algorithmic liquidation.
The platform addresses persistent challenges faced by projects for token distribution through unlocks, airdrops, or treasury sales. Manual selling can trigger sharp price declines, while working with traditional market makers may require giving up custody and accepting opaque processes. These approaches frequently result in wider spreads and damaged market confidence.
TradePoint provides an alternative through programmatic distribution connected directly to trading algorithms. The platform monitors real-time market conditions and releases tokens only when sufficient buying activity is present. This non-custodial approach allows projects to maintain control of their assets while executing distributions that align with natural market demand.
The TradePoint platform provides full execution visibility and automated settlement infrastructure, enabling projects to track every token movement in real time. It replaces manual selling with algorithmic liquidation that responds to live market conditions, distributing tokens efficiently to minimize price impact.
"We built TradePoint because the existing options for token distribution were fundamentally broken," said Diego Martin , CEO of Yellow Capital. "Projects need no more choosing between crashing their own market or handing over custody to opaque intermediaries. TradePoint gives them a third option - an algorithmic distribution that works with market conditions. The vision is to empower projects with the infrastructure they need to manage token supply efficiently."
This launch is part of Yellow Capital's broader offering to support Web3 projects across their full lifecycle. The firm provides liquidity solutions across more than 140 centralized exchanges, combining market-making services with treasury management and strategic advisory. TradePoint completes this offering by addressing the final critical challenge, managing token supply during distribution events.
About Yellow Capital
Yellow Capital is a leading market-making firm with a venture arm focused on supporting Web3 projects with treasury management, liquidity solutions, and providing long-term support. The firm’s services include a comprehensive ecosystem providing pre- and post-token-listing strategies. Yellow Capital is committed to redefining the future of crypto, blockchain, finance, and Web3, drawing on the Yellow Group's extensive experience in over 100 blockchain projects.

Nimiq and the University of Birmingham Demonstrate SynapTrack to Trace Cross-Chain Illicit Activi...
Berlin, Germany, February 25th, 2026, Chainwire
First product version presented in London on 25 February and now open to developers, researchers, and the broader crypto community
Nimiq today announces the release of SynapTrack, a next-generation anti–money laundering (AML) framework for blockchain systems designed to trace illicit fund flows faster and with fewer false positives, while automatically adapting to evolving criminal tactics.
SynapTrack was presented in London on 25 February by University of Birmingham researchers at CyberASAP Demo Day. During the event, the team outlined how the system can support investigations in cross-chain laundering scenarios, cases in which funds are bridged between networks or dispersed across multiple chains to obscure their origin. Following the London presentation, SynapTrack is now open to developers, researchers, and the broader crypto community for feedback and collaboration.
For collaborations, please visit: https://synaptrack.co.uk/
Built for the hardest part of blockchain investigations: cross-chain flows
While blockchains provide transparency at the ledger level, tracing illicit activity becomes significantly harder when funds move across chains, pass through bridges, or split into multiple paths. SynapTrack v1 focuses on these realities, using blockchain-aware pattern analysis and a self-improving algorithm that continuously updates its detection logic as adversaries change tactics.
Reducing false positives to unblock investigations
Many monitoring approaches catch suspicious patterns but generate a high volume of false alerts that must be manually reviewed, creating operational bottlenecks. SynapTrack is designed to deliver a substantially lower false-positive rate so investigators can prioritize the most meaningful leads.
In early testing, SynapTrack was evaluated using real-world data related to the 2025 Bybit hack, where attackers stole $1.5bn in digital tokens. In this scenario, SynapTrack traced the attacker’s activity with a false positive rate below 2%.
Research-driven, engineering-ready
SynapTrack originates from research by Dr Pascal Berrang and PhD student Endong Liu at the University of Birmingham, developed with implementation support and real-world blockchain constraints contributed by Nimiq. Nimiq has long worked closely with academic and research efforts and is known for implementing new technologies across the blockchain stack, always with a focus on making blockchain systems easy to use for developers and end users.
Max Burger, Global Ecosystem Developer, Nimiq, said:
“SynapTrack is the first product milestone of a research-driven effort to make blockchain investigations more scalable, especially when laundering patterns evolve and cross-chain activity complicates analysis. We’re opening it up to developers, researchers, and the wider crypto community for testing, feedback, and collaborative improvement.”
Dr Pascal Berrang, University of Birmingham, said:
“The last few years have seen a near-exponential growth in blockchain transactions. While many of these are legitimate, blockchains are attractive to criminals as funds can be moved very quickly to other jurisdictions. Our work with Nimiq and the creation of SynapTrack is addressing this black spot, and will enable more effective regulation, making the whole ecosystem of blockchain safer and more trustworthy.”
Collaboration / access: https://synaptrack.co.uk/
About SynapTrack
SynapTrack is an adaptive investigation and AML framework for blockchain systems designed to identify and trace fund flows associated with illicit activity—particularly across cross-chain transactions. The system dynamically scores the likelihood that transactions form part of laundering workflows and continuously adapts to new tactics through a self-improving detection approach. SynapTrack v1 was presented in London on 25 February 2026 and is now open to developers, researchers, and the broader crypto community for evaluation and collaboration via https://synaptrack.co.uk/.

Blockfort Launches Its Swiss Digital Art Fortress to Enable Institutional NFT Storage on Tezos an...
Zug, Switzerland, February 24th, 2026, Chainwire
Institutional adoption of digital art is continuing to accelerate as blockchain technology reshapes how cultural assets are created, traded, and preserved. Among blockchain ecosystems, Tezos has emerged as one of the strongest and most established networks for digital art, supported by leading marketplaces such as objkt.com and a globally recognized creator community. Now, secure, regulated custodial infrastructure has become essential for professional collectors, galleries, and institutions entering the space.
Blockfort, a Swiss-based digital asset custodian established in January 2025, provides institutional-grade storage, -staking, and crypto trading solutions. Built with security as its core priority, Blockfort operates under robust compliance standards, providing its clients with peace of mind when it comes to safeguarding their digital assets.
Since 2021, the Tezos blockchain has become a leading platform for art and is home to a vibrant creator ecosystem. Supported by the Tezos Foundation, which promotes the long-term development and adoption of the protocol, the network has seen continued growth in major art initiatives and partnerships. Platforms such as objkt.com have helped establish Tezos as a culturally significant and technically mature environment for NFT-based digital art.
“Blockchain-based art is a rapidly growing medium and collectors and institutions are beginning to realise the importance of securing their digital artworks. Tezos has earned its reputation as the leading blockchain for artists and creators, and until now institutional participants have lacked the regulated, secure infrastructure to engage with it confidently. Our Swiss Digital Art Fortress is designed specifically to change that — giving collectors, institutions and galleries the peace of mind they need to keep their art safe for future generations,” said Roman Schnider, CEO of Blockfort.
Through its collaboration with the Tezos Foundation, Blockfort now enables secure NFT storage on Tezos via its newly launched Digital Art Fortress in Switzerland. Designed specifically for institutional participants, the solution combines a Swiss-regulated custody infrastructure, advanced security architecture, and audited operational controls. Blockfort’s online platform allows clients to store, visualize and manage their digital artworks. In line with its advanced suite of services, Blockfort also provides a white-glove NFT minting service, designed to guide creators who are new to the blockchain space through the process of minting their work on the blockchain. Together, these elements position Blockfort’s Digital Art Fortress as one of the most robust and institutionally suited storage solutions for high-value digital art assets.

The Sui Foundation today announced that trading has officially commenced on the Nasdaq for TSUI, a spot SUI ETF issued by 21shares, a global leader in crypto exchange-traded products. The fund provides U.S. investors with a regulated, high-liquidity vehicle to gain direct exposure to Sui’s performance through their existing brokerage accounts following recent SEC approval.
The launch marks another major milestone in Sui’s continued growth as a payments platform and modern global finance layer. Sui is the full stack for a new global economy, founded by the tech leaders who spearheaded Meta’s Diem and Libra initiatives, and is advancing a vision of moving money as freely as messages. 21shares has long been at the forefront of bringing digital asset exposure into traditional financial markets, offering a broad suite of regulated crypto ETPs across Europe and beyond. Its expansion into a U.S. spot SUI ETF reflects accelerating institutional confidence in Sui’s infrastructure and ecosystem.
Spot ETFs provide exposure directly tied to the underlying SUI token, offering a straightforward structure for both institutional and retail investors seeking secure and compliant access to emerging blockchain ecosystems.
Sui’s traction with institutions is rooted in its unique technical design. Built using the Move programming language, Sui’s object-centric model enables parallel execution, sub-second finality, and horizontally scalable throughput. This architecture supports payments, tokenization, stablecoins, BTCfi, and decentralized finance at internet scale, eliminating many of the frictions found on earlier blockchains.
“TSUI marks yet another widely-available access point to Sui, leveraging the industry’s preeminent tech stack to support global payments use cases and financial applications at scale,” said Evan Cheng, Co-Founder and CEO of Mysten Labs, the original contributor to Sui. “In a little more than two years, Sui has made significant inroads into payments and cross-border settlement, which has transformed it into one of the world’s most robust onchain economies and attracted the interest of leading institutions like 21shares as a result.”
The ETF approval arrives amid surging institutional interest in Sui, joining a growing list of institutional-grade products or planned initiatives, including from Bitwise, Canary Capital, Franklin Templeton, Grayscale, and VanEck. In December 2025, 21shares also launched the first leveraged ETFin the U.S. tied to SUI. The introduction of TSUI expands access further through a straightforward, spot-based structure.
“Following our successful launch of a leveraged SUI product, the introduction of TSUI represents the next step in expanding access to Sui through a straightforward, spot-based structure,” said Duncan Moir, President of 21shares. “Sui’s rapid ecosystem growth, technical strength, and institutional relevance were clear to us early on. We are pleased to provide U.S. investors with transparent tools to access this next-generation blockchain.”
As institutional capital continues to enter digital assets and stablecoins gain traction as a global payments layer, Sui’s scalable, low-latency infrastructure is designed to meet the demands of modern finance. To learn more about Sui and explore the ecosystem, visit https://sui.io.

Industry Leaders to Address Market Shift At Crypto Expo Europe (24 Feb)
Bucharest, Romania, February 24th, 2026, Chainwire
Crypto Expo Europe will convene leading global cryptocurrency exchanges and industry executives on March 1–2, 2026, in Bucharest, as renewed market volatility reshapes digital asset strategy across Europe and beyond. The event comes as the crypto market enters a correction phase following growth cycles in 2024 and 2025, prompting exchanges, institutions and infrastructure providers to reassess liquidity, compliance and long-term positioning.
Tickets for the event are available at: https://cryptoexpoeurope.com/checkout
With confirmed participation from Binance, Bitget, KuCoin, Bybit EU, Gemini, BingX, eToro, Kraken, Ava Labs, BitPay, Tokero, Mosaic Galaxy, The Sandbox and CFA Society Romania, the conference will focus on how market leaders are navigating tightening financial conditions and evolving regulatory frameworks.
“Periods of volatility are when the most important strategic decisions are made,” said Ruxandra Tataru, CEO of Crypto Expo Europe. “Crypto Expo Europe is designed to bring together the executives and builders who are actively shaping the next phase of the industry, not just reacting to market cycles.”
Panel discussions will address custody resilience, AML and KYC evolution, real-world asset tokenization, institutional integration of digital assets and the evolving role of exchanges and launchpads in 2026. Industry participants will examine how regulatory clarity in Europe is influencing operational models and cross-border expansion strategies.
A featured session titled “Tokenizing Assets: The Future of Finance and Investment?” will explore the growing institutional focus on real-world asset tokenization. Representatives from BitPay, Ava Labs, Kraken and CFA Society Romania are expected to discuss how blockchain-based asset infrastructure is moving from pilot initiatives to implementation.
Another key panel, “Crypto Exchanges and Launchpads in 2026,” will include leaders from Binance, Bybit EU, Gemini and Tokero, addressing liquidity flows, compliance adjustments and product strategy during uncertain market conditions.
The event will conclude with a keynote discussion, “What’s Next for the Industry and Where the Major Opportunities Will Come From,” featuring executives from Binance, Bitget, BingX, Bybit EU and KuCoin. The session will examine how major exchanges interpret the current market environment and where they see opportunity emerging in 2026 and 2027.
As global financial institutions continue to evaluate digital asset exposure amid macroeconomic tightening, Crypto Expo Europe aims to provide direct access to decision-makers guiding exchange infrastructure, tokenization initiatives and institutional adoption strategies.
About Crypto Expo Europe
Crypto Expo Europe is Eastern Europe’s largest crypto and blockchain conference, serving as a gateway for institutions, enterprises, regulators, and developers shaping the future of digital finance. Hosted annually in Bucharest, the event attracts over 3,000 delegates from more than 60 countries, providing a platform for networking, workshops, and high-level panel discussions.
With a focus on bridging the gap between Web3 innovation and the evolving regulatory landscape of the MiCA era, Crypto Expo Europe unites the industry’s most influential leaders to foster partnerships and drive blockchain adoption across the continent.

Pharos Forms RealFi Alliance to Standardize Institutional RWA Execution Onchain (23 Feb)
Hong Kong, Hong Kong, February 23rd, 2026, Chainwire
Financial Layer 1 Pharos Network announced the formation of the RealFi Alliance, a strategic ecosystem initiative designed to unify institutional asset issuers, financial infrastructure providers, and onchain builders. The Alliance aims to move the Real-World Asset (RWA) market beyond isolated pilots into a standardized, scalable, and operational execution framework. The inaugural cohort of the RealFi Alliance includes: Chainlink, Asseto Finance, Ember, Faroo, LayerZero, R25, Re7 Labs, TopNod, and Centrifuge.
The RealFi Alliance is designed to solve systemic frictions such as fragmented liquidity, inconsistent infrastructure standards, and regulatory silos by coordinating assets and capital under a shared framework. Rather than treating Real-World Assets as static tokens, the Alliance approaches RealFi as a foundational infrastructure layer where assets remain active, composable, and ready for institutional workflows. This initial group forms the core foundation for RealFi on Pharos, ensuring the network enters the market with real-world counterparts already building.
The Alliance operates across 4 critical pillars designed to ensure long-term network adoption and systemic integrity. Central to this initiative is asset enablement, which focuses on bringing real-world value onchain in secure, composable forms optimized for sustained participation. This foundation is reinforced by a rigorous infrastructure and compliance alignment, leveraging Pharos’ deep-parallel execution and built-in compliance modules to meet the highest institutional security standards. To bridge the gap between issuance and usage, the Alliance prioritizes liquidity and utility design, creating clear functional pathways for assets through staking, yield, and application integration. This is exemplified by the collaboration between Ember and Re7 Labs, where institutional-grade risk management and vault curation are integrated directly into the asset's lifecycle. Finally, by establishing market transparency and clear benchmarks for risk and yield sources, the Alliance builds the necessary trust for sophisticated capital allocators to participate in the ecosystem at scale.
“The core challenge facing onchain finance today is not a lack of assets, but the absence of a unified environment where those assets can function at scale,” said Wish Wu, Co-Founder & CEO of Pharos Network. “The RealFi Alliance is our commitment to building that environment, aligning leaders like Chainlink, the industry-standard oracle platform, with specialized asset operators to ensure that real value moves onchain with institutional-grade reliability.”
This strategic alignment ensures that the upcoming Pharos Mainnet will launch as a ready-to-use financial environment with integrated liquidity and compliance standards. Moving forward, the RealFi Alliance will expand in structured batches, with future members selected based on asset quality, technical readiness, and ecosystem alignment. This long-term approach ensures that as the Pharos ecosystem matures, the quality and utility of its underlying assets remain the highest in the industry.
About Pharos Network
Pharos is the inclusive financial Layer 1 for RealFi, where real value and institutional-grade assets circulate onchain and are composable with decentralized assets, becoming the new financial-grade infrastructure of global finance for all. Pharos combines modular architecture, deep-parallel execution, and built-in compliance to power asset-native ecosystems. Built by leadership and engineers from Ant Group, the project is backed by Hack VC, Faction VC, and other global investors.

Soil Launches First Compliant RWA-Backed Yield Protocol on XRPL to Unlock Utility for RLUSD Holde...
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, February 19th, 2026, Chainwire
ORQO Group, an institutional asset manager and technology platform operating at the intersection of traditional finance and blockchain, today announced that its fintech platform, Soil, which provides stablecoin holders secure, predictable returns through tokenized real-world assets, has expanded onto Ripple’s XRP Ledger (XRPL).
The expansion onto XRPL is now finalized as users filled out $1 million asset pools in under 72 hours, with future pools to follow in the coming weeks. Soil has now become a compliant yield protocol on XRPL to enable holders of RLUSD stablecoin to access institutional-grade returns, backed by traditional assets.
The launch marks a major expansion for Soil, building on a three-year track record of delivering stable, risk-adjusted yield across major Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) networks like Polygon, Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Arbitrum. Soil’s deployment on XRPL expands RLUSD’s utility, transforming it into an asset with consistent, asset-backed return potential, thereby reinforcing ORQO’s mission of bridging TradFi with on-chain infrastructure.
Through Soil’s protocol, users can allocate RLUSD into on-chain Yield Vaults and earn fixed returns generated via low-volatility financial instruments including private credit, tokenized treasuries, and market-neutral hedge funds.
As stablecoins continue their shift from a niche utility to a foundational global payment rail, industry forecasts project the market to reach $2 trillion by 2028, a trajectory fueled by accelerating mainstream adoption, clearer regulatory frameworks, and significant industry consolidation.
“The stablecoin market’s transition toward a multi-trillion-dollar ecosystem requires the right infrastructure to deliver institutional-grade yield at scale,” said Nick Motz, CEO of ORQO Group and CIO of Soil. “Our expansion onto XRPL leverages our track record to directly integrate transparent, asset-backed yield into the platform. This move positions us to capture a share of this growth trajectory and reinforces the essential role stablecoins play in global finance under the guidance of industry leaders like Ripple.”
Soil chose the XRP Ledger for its next major expansion to leverage the chain’s compliance-ready, scalable ecosystem. XRPL offers near-instant finality and negligible transaction fees, making it an ideal environment for capital-efficient, high-volume operations.
About Soil
Soil is a blockchain-based lending protocol that bridges the gap between traditional finance and the crypto world, reshaping corporate debt and fixed-income investments. It is a debt marketplace where established companies can obtain financing, and crypto investors can lend their stablecoins to earn yield derived from Real World Assets that exist off-chain. Soil makes money by taking a percentage of the interest paid by borrowers to lenders and fees earned from facilitating their connection.

BuffiBot synthesizes ETHDenver’s hundreds of sessions and activities into a single conversational interface. While the ETHDenver deployment highlights a live event use case, CoinFello’s broader functionality extends beyond conference support.
CoinFello is designed as an AI application for executing and automating interactions with smart contract protocols. Through a chat-based interface, the agent interprets context, executes user-defined intents, and manages both synchronous and asynchronous smart contract actions. The system is built to present smart contract functionality in plain language.
The platform analyzes a user’s wallet history to surface relevant tokens, protocols, and potential actions, reducing reliance on traditional browser-based decentralized applications. CoinFello is also launching as an EIP-8004 agent, enabling it to be called by other AI agents within Ethereum’s emerging agent ecosystem.
CoinFello was founded by JacobC.eth, previously Lead of Operations for MetaMask at ConsenSys. At MetaMask, he helped develop growth and monetization strategies for the Ethereum wallet.
“The previous model for crypto UX is saturated,” said jacobc.eth. “Agentic AI enables onchain execution and DeFi interactions to become accessible to billions of people through familiar and safer user experiences.”
“We’re pleased to collaborate with the CoinFello team as they bring agent-driven experiences to users through the MetaMask Smart Accounts Kit,” said Ryan McPeck, Product Lead at Consensys for the MetaMask Smart Accounts Kit. “We see a future where AI agents can safely act on behalf of users using granular, transitive permissions that allow individuals to define how activity is executed on-chain.”
ETHDenver attendees will receive exclusive access to CoinFello without joining the public waitlist. Access to CoinFello will continue following the conference, while the BuffiBot experience remains exclusive to ETHDenver.
"ETHDenver has always been where the edges of possibility converge — where builders come to test what the future feels like before the rest of the world catches up,” said John Paller, Founder of ETHDenver. “The fusion of decentralized infrastructure and agentic AI signals a new chapter for coordination itself. When humans and autonomous systems co-create in open networks, we expand who can participate and how value is generated. This is the frontier — and it’s unfolding in real time."
About CoinFello
CoinFello is an AI agent designed to explain, execute, and automate interactions with smart contracts. Built for self-custody, the platform is currently available in private alpha for end users, with developer versions expected soon. CoinFello supports EVM-compatible networks, leverages EigenAI to enable a self-custodied AI environment, and integrates the MetaMask Smart Accounts Kit to provide users with control over their assets.

CoinFello, an AI agent capable of interacting directly with smart contracts, will be introduced to ETHDenver attendees during the conference’s opening ceremonies. The debut provides attendees with early access to CoinFello through a special preview application called BuffiBot, created by the CoinFello team.

MYX Completes Strategic Funding Round Led By Consensys Ahead of V2 Launch (18 Feb)
Singapore, Singapore, February 18th, 2026, Chainwire
Onchain derivatives protocol MYX has completed a strategic funding round led by Consensys, with participation from Consensys Mesh and Systemic Ventures, ahead of the MYX V2 launch. With the closing of this round, Consensys has officially become the largest investor in MYX. The raise supports the rollout of MYX’s Modular Derivative Settlement Engine, marking the platform’s transition into core infrastructure for omnichain derivatives.
MYX V2 represents a structural shift in how onchain derivatives are built and settled. Rather than operating as a vertically integrated dapp, MYX now serves as a modular settlement layer that other products and platforms can build upon. This design reflects a broader industry move away from siloed DEXs toward shared clearing and settlement primitives, preventing derivatives liquidity from becoming fragmented across chains.
At the protocol level, MYX V2 integrates account abstraction via EIP-4337 and EIP-7702 alongside Chainlink’s latest permissionless oracle stack. Together, these components are designed to remove long-standing frictions in onchain trading including slow listings for long-tail assets as well as inefficient use of capital and complex transaction flows.
MYX V2 enables gasless, one-click trading while preserving non-custodial control and introduces a Dynamic Margin system that supports up to 50x leverage without relying on traditional order book depth. This architecture allows MYX to offer oracle-anchored pricing that eliminates slippage for large orders, significantly reducing execution risk for professional traders.
By decoupling liquidity depth from execution quality, MYX eliminates the trade-off between access and execution that onchain perps traders deal with every day. Traders no longer need to wait for deep order books, ladder into positions, or eat slippage when trading size—especially in new or volatile markets. Pricing is anchored directly to oracles rather than transient market depth, allowing positions to be opened and closed at predictable prices regardless of local liquidity conditions.
The result is materially lower effective trading costs than underlying spot markets, immediate access to newly emerging assets, and consistent execution even during periods of market stress. For active and professional traders, this means faster entries, cleaner exits, and reduced execution risk without sacrificing leverage or capital efficiency. These mechanics are not discretionary or market-maker dependent; they are enforced by deterministic economic models, robust margin systems, and conservative security assumptions designed to perform under real trading conditions.
MYX CEO Ryan added: “MYX V2 is more than just an exchange – it’s an engine. Integrating EIP-7702 and permissionless oracles means we can make onchain perps trading seamless while preserving decentralized sovereignty. We’re grateful to all our investors for aligning with our vision to redefine perpetual settlement standards.”
“As onchain markets mature, derivatives infrastructure needs to evolve beyond siloed venues toward modular, shared settlement layers,” said Ray Hernandez, Senior VP of Corporate Development at Consensys. “We believe that resilient, capital-efficient settlement infrastructure is foundational to the long-term health and scalability of Ethereum’s financial ecosystem. MYX’s approach reflects this shift, prioritizing composability and transparent settlement at the infrastructure layer.”
The V2 launch positions MYX as infrastructure for a broad range of market participants. Professional traders gain access to high leverage and slippage-free execution, while institutional investors can track the emergence of a new clearing and settlement layer within Ethereum’s derivatives stack. B2B partners, including trading apps and automation platforms, meanwhile, can plug directly into perpetual liquidity without building their own settlement rails.
While MYX supports rapid access to newly emerging assets, V2 is not designed purely for retail-focused speculative trading. Instead, the protocol is built to support sustained derivatives activity through robust settlement design, oracle security, and composable integrations. With backing from Consensys and a focus on infrastructure-first execution, MYX V2 aims to play a foundational role in the next phase of onchain derivatives.
About MYX
MYX is an innovative decentralized perpetual exchange that achieves zero slippage through its unique Matching Pool Mechanism (MPM). Through seamlessly matching long and short positions, MYX enables greater capital efficiency, unlocking boundless opportunities for traders. The V2 launch will transform MYX into a foundational infrastructure for omnichain derivatives.
