According to Odaily Planet Daily, Vest Labs has completed a $13 million seed round led by Portal Ventures, with some executives from Citadel Securities, BlackRock, and KKR participating in a personal capacity. The company did not disclose its post-money valuation. Vest Labs provides eligible traders with company capital to trade perpetual contracts in live markets around the clock, with traders able to retain up to 80% of profits. The funding will be used to develop a mobile app, expand its current 22-person team, and add more assets for 24/7 trading. As of late September, 26% of the platform’s roughly 27,000 traders had received cash payouts.
According to CoinDesk, crypto trading firm GSR has committed $100 million, mainly through credit facilities, to fund a new business called Hare and will work with liquidity platform Turtle to create and manage on-chain vaults. Hare initially plans to launch vaults supported by Aave, allowing investors to earn returns through major U.S. dollar stablecoins and Paxos tokenized gold products, while GSR provides anchor liquidity. The model combines institutional trading capital, DeFi lending protocols, and tokenized gold assets, expanding the use of on-chain vaults in yield management and institutional asset allocation.
According to Odaily Planet Daily, U.S. House Financial Services Committee Chair French Hill said current digital asset regulatory actions lack the long-term stability that congressional legislation can provide and expressed hope that Congress will pass the CLARITY Act before the new Congress takes office in 2027. The SEC and CFTC have already proposed related rulemaking measures, but Hill said those actions are not sufficient substitutes for formal legislation. After the U.S. Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act last month, the regulatory path remains uncertain, while the SEC and CFTC currently have a combined seven leadership vacancies.
According to Odaily Planet Daily, Injective has released its first fully rewritten white paper since the original version in December 2018, repositioning the network as a Layer 1 focused on institutional finance and asset tokenization across the full lifecycle from issuance and trading to settlement. The new paper introduces native RWA tokenization mechanisms, iAssets derivatives, an on-chain limit order book, sealed high-frequency batch auctions, and BFT consensus, with block times of about 600 milliseconds. It also covers native EVM and WASM support, perpetual contract risk management, and AI agent finance, while on-chain protocol revenue will flow to periodic INJ community buybacks.
According to Odaily Planet Daily, U.S.-listed Universal Safety Products announced that it will change its name to DeFi Capital Markets on October 19 and begin trading under the new ticker DCM. The company plans to gradually wind down its legacy product business and focus on asset tokenization, digital assets, market making, quantitative trading, and blockchain-based financial markets. The restructuring marks a shift by a traditional listed company toward making digital assets and tokenized market infrastructure its primary strategic direction.
According to Odaily Planet Daily, Uniswap said that U.S. and Korean stock tokens issued by Stove Finance have launched on Arbitrum and are now tradable through Uniswap Apps with support from UniswapX. The launch brings tokenized U.S. and Korean equities into an on-chain trading environment and provides users with a cross-market stock token trading entry point. As tokenized equities expand across different national markets, on-chain spot trading is moving beyond U.S. stocks alone and extending the role of DEX infrastructure into a broader range of traditional financial assets.
According to Odaily Planet Daily, stablecoin cross-border payments project Noah has completed a $38 million seed round with participation from Endeit Capital, FJ Labs, LocalGlobe, Felix Capital, and several angel investors. Noah primarily provides stablecoin-based cross-border payment and remittance services to businesses and individuals. The new funding will be used to expand its international remittance business and regulatory footprint. As stablecoins move further into cross-border payments, enterprise settlement, and treasury management, payment infrastructure projects continue to attract capital, while licensing and local payment-network access remain key to expansion.
According to Cointelegraph, crypto wallet provider Tangem has launched its first physical Visa card, supporting in-store and online purchases as well as ATM withdrawals, with the initial batch limited to 5,000 cards. Users can fund the card directly from a self-custody wallet and move funds back to the wallet if the card is suspended or closed. More than 40% of Tangem Pay payments come from Latin America and more than 30% from the United States. The physical card currently cannot be delivered to about 20 countries and regions due to KYC, sanctions, banking rules, and issuing compliance requirements. Eligible purchases may also receive 1% to 2% USDC cashback.
According to Odaily Planet Daily, NEAR co-founder Illia Polosukhin said that as on-chain tools continue to improve, users no longer need to rely on centralized exchanges for some crypto activities.
near.com currently integrates cross-chain spot trading, tokenized stocks, yield products, and perpetual contracts into a single interface and plans to add more fiat-related functions, including bank withdrawals, tax transaction records, and selective disclosure for private transactions. NEAR has also partnered with Monerium to support conversions between euros in bank accounts and EURe, and after integrating Ondo Finance in September, it now offers tokenized equities and plans to expand into more global stock markets.
According to Cointelegraph, World Liberty Financial said during a stablecoin panel at Token2049 that it plans to work with payment infrastructure provider Mesh to bring USD1 to major online businesses, with the service expected to launch this quarter. USD1 holders will be able to use the stablecoin across Mesh’s merchant network. USD1 is currently issued by BitGo and backed by reserves including cash, U.S. government money market funds, and other cash equivalents, with a market capitalization of about $4.45 billion. The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency conditionally approved WLFI’s plan to establish a national trust bank in August, after which WLFI plans to take over USD1 issuance itself.

Recently, users should remain highly alert to crypto investment scams conducted through Telegram, fake investment websites, and fraudulent trading platforms. The Scam Center Strike Force, involving the U.S. Department of Justice and FBI, previously disclosed that criminal networks used chat platforms to provide customized scam investment websites, money-laundering services, and related crypto wallets to lure victims into transferring funds and to move scam proceeds. Authorities restricted approximately $52 million in related crypto assets in a single day. Users should avoid sending funds to designated wallets solely based on chat groups, unsolicited messages, or “high-yield investment opportunities,” and should not connect wallets or sign approvals on unverified websites. If abnormal asset outflows are detected, users should immediately stop further transfers, preserve chat records and on-chain transaction hashes, and report the incident through official platform or law-enforcement channels.
