BNB Chain ecosystem prediction market Predict.fun has officially announced that the Season 1 final snapshot has been completed. The team is currently calculating all users' final PP points balances, and Season 2 points rewards have officially launched.According to the official announcement, Season 2 has adjusted the points allocation mechanism for liquidity providers (LPs).

Odaily reports: Ondo has announced that 15 tokenized stocks and ETFs are now live on Robinhood Chain, with 11 of them open for trading in StablePair liquidity pools on Uniswap v4. The pools allow traders to swap directly between Ondo Stocks and Robinhood Stock Tokens that track the same underlying assets, while liquidity providers can earn fees by providing liquidity.Ondo stated that its tokenized stocks support round-the-clock minting and redemption, providing traders with an additional source of liquidity, exit channels, and arbitrage opportunities during periods when Robinhood Stock Tokens suspend minting and redemption on weekends, helping to narrow the price deviation between on-chain prices and the underlying asset prices. The 15 assets launched this time also include 4 assets that do not yet have corresponding Robinhood Stock Tokens, such as Robinhood (HOODon), iShares China Large-Cap ETF (FXIon), BitMine (BMNRon), and the United States Copper Index Fund (CPERon).Ondo Stocks can be bridged between Robinhood Chain and BNB Chain or Ethereum via Ondo Bridge, and can be minted and redeemed on the latter two.

Nina Rong (@nina_rong), Head of Growth at BNB Chain, posted that BNB Chain's technology stack does not use PHP and reminded users to remain vigilant. Previously, the National Security Agency's cybersecurity division NSA Cyber (@NSACyber) issued an advisory stating that all organizations using PHP to build systems should prepare for updates aimed at fixing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used in web applications, and such vulnerabilities can typically provide direct access to the server file system.
ARK Invest's Q3 2026 DeFi report shows tokenized equities became the main driver of the rebound in on-chain trading activity during the quarter.

Odaily News: Crypto information platform Decrypt has launched Decrypt Money Accounts on Solana. Account balances are denominated in USDT and can be used across products including Earn, Swaps, Predictions, and Perps. The platform covers gas and rent fees through fee-payer co-signing, so users do not need to hold SOL or handle network fees.The account uses a self-custody model. Decrypt does not hold users' private keys and cannot execute transactions on their behalf. Users can deposit funds through multiple payment methods. A private key export feature is expected to be available shortly, after which accounts can be connected to any Solana wallet software.Cross-chain operations are handled at the platform's underlying layer. For example, Myriad Predictions markets settle on BNB Chain, yet users can still trade using the same Solana USDT balance without bridging or switching networks. Existing Myriad Wallet users can use the service directly without migration.Decrypt Money Accounts will serve as the underlying channel for The Information Exchange, connecting Decrypt, Myriad, and the upcoming MYR. The platform will subsequently expand prediction markets into instruments such as spot, perpetual futures, and structured event products. (Decrypt)
