Odaily reports: Circle has released a developer guide explaining how token issuers can enable cross-chain transfers for ERC-20 tokens other than USDC through CCTP. Issuers can deploy new native cross-chain tokens or configure already-issued ERC-20 tokens as custom CCTP connections; both approaches reuse Circle's messaging and attestation infrastructure and adopt a burn-and-mint model. Issuers can set their own owner, operator, pause permissions, rate limits, and per-transaction transfer caps, and Circle cannot take over control. According to Circle's developer documentation, CCTP for non-USDC went live in September 2026, supporting EVM chains such as Ethereum, Avalanche, OP Mainnet, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon PoS, and Arc, but not non-EVM chains such as Solana.
Washington Sanchez, Head of Product at Kraken Wallet, stated that the self-custodial Kraken Wallet browser extension is now live, supporting multiple networks including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Ink, Base, and Robinhood Chain. Users can create or import wallets using a mnemonic phrase or private key, use view-only wallets, or log in via email, Google, Apple, or passkeys.

research firm Decentralised.co (DCo) has released a report stating that the share of non-crypto asset trading volume on Hyperliquid rose from zero in September 2025 to a peak of 51% in July 2026, and stood at approximately 30% in October 2026; on October 27, such trading accounted for 40% of the platform's $7.2 billion in daily trading volume, with single stocks being the largest trading category that day.The report uses a 2029 global futures and equities market size of $934 trillion as its base, with the base-case scenario assuming crypto trading volume grows to 3 times the current level, a 3% share of the non-crypto market, a blended fee rate of 0.006%, USDC yield falling to 3.6%, and HIP-4 contributing $100 million in revenue; on this basis, it estimates that 2029 revenue will rise from $944 million to $4.91 billion, corresponding to an HYPE price of $128 at a 40x valuation, $98 at a 30x valuation, and $165 under the optimistic scenario, with the current HYPE price at approximately $77. The report states that if the non-crypto fee rate falls to CME's 0.0004%, the base valuation would drop to $66; Binance has already listed 229 TradFi perpetual contracts this year, with average daily trading volume of $13.4 billion, higher than Hyperliquid's $2.3 billion.

As reported by Cryptopolitan, Token Terminal data shows that the deposit volume of tokenized stocks in DeFi protocols has exceeded $300 million, up from $262 million last month and reflecting a 2,451.5% increase from approximately $11.8 million a year ago. The deposits are distributed across 20 issuers and 10 blockchains. The data indicates that the growth was primarily concentrated in the third quarter: starting at $80.1 million at the beginning of the quarter, it rose to $265 million on September 30, marking a quarterly increase of approximately 230%. This timeline aligns with Binance launching bStocks in June and Robinhood Chain going live in July. In terms of on-chain distribution, Solana leads with $102.6 million, accounting for a 34.2% share, with Robinhood Chain and Ethereum ranking second and third respectively. BNB Chain holds $42.8 million, Base holds $24.3 million, and the top five chains combined account for approximately 96%.

Odaily Reports: Uniswap Labs has launched Aggregator Hooks, integrating external decentralized exchange quotes into its v4 routing system on Ethereum mainnet, Base, and Robinhood Chain within its web app and API. At launch, seven external sources are integrated; Uniswap claims this covers over 90% of DEX activity across supported networks, though it does not guarantee optimal execution for every swap. The routing engine can compare quotes block by block and settle swaps involving both Uniswap and external venues within a single transaction, without requiring additional token approvals for tapping external liquidity. Swaps routed through Aggregator Hooks can generate protocol fees that support UNI burning, and developers can integrate new routes via the Uniswap API; the actual impact on spreads and trading volume still needs to be verified through live trading.
According to the latest episode of the Gatecast podcast, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han shared the product philosophy and future plans for Gate Money. He stated that Gate is extending its years of accumulated experience into the fields of asset management and everyday payments to reach a broader user base, with the goal of doubling Gate Money's user base within the next one to two years. Leveraging the technical systems, institutional clients, and market-making liquidity built up through years of trading operations, Gate supports exchanges between multiple asset classes; through its global licensing footprint and partnerships with banks and payment networks, Gate Money creates the conditions for users to receive, send, and spend funds. Together, these capabilities form the operational foundation of Gate Money, enabling the platform to reduce exchange and fund transfer costs across different usage scenarios.Through capabilities spanning holding, exchanging, growing, and spending, Gate Money connects various types of assets with everyday needs. Dr. Han used "buying coffee with stocks" as an example to illustrate the consumer applications of assets beyond investment. In eligible regions, users can open bank accounts in their own name, use familiar payment and receipt methods, and have transfers processed by underlying blockchain technology; idle funds can also participate in growth through yield products.Looking ahead, Dr. Han also shared the application prospects of AI Agents providing round-the-clock assistance with asset allocation and fund management. As investment, wealth management, and everyday payments converge, Gate Money will continue to expand the application boundaries of various asset classes, driving Gate's services deeper into more everyday life scenarios.

Total deposits grew by 41% to reach approximately $33.6 billion, while active loans increased by 32% to about $13.2 billion.
Uniswap Labs has announced the launch of Aggregator Hooks, bringing aggregation capabilities to Uniswap v4. The mechanism uses Hooks to wrap external liquidity sources as v4 pools and is now live on the Uniswap web app and API, covering Ethereum mainnet, Base, and Robinhood Chain. On the first day, it supports 7 external sources including Curve, Fluid, and PancakeSwap, with more networks to be added gradually. Per-block routing will fetch the latest quotes from integrated sources, build the optimal path between Uniswap pools and external sources, and settle within a single transaction without requiring new approvals; the related swaps will incur a protocol fee, which will be used for UNI burning.
According to The Defiant, DeFi protocol Pendle has extended its one-click looping functionality to yield assets and tokenized stocks.

Additionally, fees charged by PendleLoop on non-PT (principal token) positions will be waived until December 31.
Pump.fun co-founder and COO Alon posted on X that the platform's in-house cross-chain bridge, Pump Bridge, is now available to all app users. According to the test data he published, compared with the previously used cross-chain service provider Relay, Pump Bridge improves buy execution speed by about 2x, reduces transaction error rate by 92% from over 11% to under 1%, and on average yields more tokens for the same capital, while currently charging no additional cross-chain fees.Alon noted that previously, roughly 1 in every 9 cross-chain buys on Relay encountered an error, with a typical transaction taking close to 4 seconds and about 10% of transactions taking more than 7 seconds. He also said that the social trading app FOMO is still using Relay.The above results come from randomized testing conducted between September 28 and October 7, covering networks including Robinhood, BSC, Base, Arc, and Ink but excluding Ethereum, with a total of 416,669 transaction results recorded, of which 383,326 were used for transaction timing statistics and 35,333 USDC buys under $500 were used to compare execution performance.In addition, Alon said that the platform fee rate for the Pump.fun app is 0.45%, Callout rewards are distributed at at least $300,000 per day and have totaled about $20 million over the past two months. During the limited-time referral reward campaign, referrers can receive all platform fees generated by referred users, while the platform says it will not retain any platform fee revenue.
According to The Block, Dataline, a decentralized data network for AI agents, has announced the closing of a $10.6 million seed round, co-led by Lattice and Samsung-backed Dispersion Capital, with participation from Symbolic Capital, Coinbase Ventures, Anagram, and Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev.

Dataline plans to launch its token by the end of the year and conduct a public sale on Base via Uniswap’s Continuous Clearing Auction (CCA) mechanism, with specific details expected to be released next week. The team hopes to make this offering the largest Uniswap CCA on Base, but has not disclosed the total raise amount or the number of tokens being sold.
Odaily reports: Mastercard has announced early access to its AI agent payment system, Agent Pay for Machines, and demonstrated actual transactions at the Cloudflare Connect conference. Built on the open protocol x402, the system allows AI agents to autonomously discover services, negotiate transaction terms, and complete payments, while operating under human-preset budget caps. When an agent accesses a paid service and receives a "402 Payment Required" response, it generates a digitally signed payment credential, which the service provider verifies before delivering the service; the credentials can be settled in batches. In the demonstration, a marketing agent completed 9 payments to two independent merchants under a single budget, without needing to register separate accounts or handle separate invoices. Coinbase provides wallet services, Base handles on-chain settlement, and BVNK supports fiat or stablecoin payments and settlement through Mastercard's Global Money Platform. Mastercard will also provide developers with buyer and seller APIs, SDKs, and a testing environment, and has already conducted end-to-end pilots with Cloudflare, AWS, Coinbase, and other organizations.
Odaily reports: Real-world asset platform tx has launched the USD stablecoin USTX for use in its wallet and its planned tokenized stock market.
