A Tether, emissora da maior stablecoin do mundo, USDT, deu um passo decisivo para resolver preocupações de transparência de longa data ao nomear uma empresa de contabilidade “Big Four” para realizar sua primeira auditoria independente completa de reservas, marcando um potencial ponto de virada para a indústria de ativos digitais.

A empresa disse que a auditoria revisará de forma abrangente seus ativos, passivos, reservas, controles internos e sistemas de relatórios financeiros – indo além das atestações trimestrais que historicamente publicou, que ofereciam apenas instantâneas limitadas e pontuais de seu balanço patrimonial.

A proposta de legislação dos EUA destinada a estabelecer regras para ativos digitais proibiria emissoras de stablecoins e intermediários de oferecer rendimento sobre saldos de usuários, de acordo com o texto mais recente da proposta da Lei de Clareza Cripto revisada por participantes da indústria.

A linguagem revisada, negociada por legisladores nos últimos dias, proíbe recompensas chamadas de ‘passivas‘ ligadas a simplesmente manter stablecoins, enquanto deixa espaço para certos incentivos baseados em atividade vinculados a transações ou uso da plataforma, embora os detalhes permaneçam obscuros, de acordo com os relatórios.

A polícia irlandesa conseguiu acesso a uma carteira de Bitcoin há muito inativa ligada ao traficante de drogas condenado, Clifton Collins, recuperando criptomoedas no valor de cerca de $35 milhões, disseram as autoridades.

O Escritório de Ativos Criminais da Irlanda (CAB), trabalhando com o Centro Europeu de Cibercrime da Europol, disse que conseguiu acessar uma das 12 carteiras associadas a Collins, apreendendo 500 Bitcoins que estavam fora de alcance por anos devido a códigos de acesso perdidos.



Em uma declaração, o Escritório de Ativos Criminais disse:

“O Escritório de Ativos Criminais, apoiado por nossos parceiros no Centro Europeu de Cibercrime da Europol, confirma a apreensão de aproximadamente €30 milhões em criptomoedas.

More than 50 cryptocurrency firms, including global exchange Binance, are reportedly exploring plans to establish regional headquarters in Nairobi, drawn by rising adoption and favourable tax incentives as Kenya positions itself as a financial hub in East Africa.

The Nairobi International Finance Centre (NIFC) said it is in active discussions with both local and international virtual asset companies as part of efforts to attract investment and create jobs.

 

“We have about 50 companies, specifically virtual asset firms, that we are engaging to set up regional headquarters in Kenya through the NIFC,” said chief executive Daniel Mainda in an interview.

 

Binance confirmed it is among the firms considering Nairobi as a base, though its entry will depend on the final regulatory framework adopted by the government.

“I can confirm that we are going to be part of that cohort… but the key factor for us is balanced, fair and robust regulation,” said Larry Cooke, the company’s head of legal for Africa.

Firms setting up through the NIFC would benefit from reduced corporate tax rates of 15 percent for the first 10 years and 20 percent for the following decade, compared with the standard 30 percent.

Kenya remains one of Africa’s largest cryptocurrency markets, with an estimated 733,300 users holding digital assets. According to blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis, the country ranks third in Africa for crypto adoption, behind Nigeria and South Africa.

Usage has also been expanding in real-world applications. A recent survey by the International Monetary Fund found that businesses in Kenya increasingly turn to stablecoins to settle payments for imports, particularly during periods of dollar shortages.

A fraude relacionada a cripto na África caiu 28% ano a ano em 2025, sinalizando ganhos iniciais com a regulamentação mais rígida e sistemas de conformidade aprimorados em todo o continente, de acordo com o Relatório sobre o Estado da Indústria Cripto 2026 da SumSub.

A queda segue um pico no ano anterior, quando as taxas de fraude subiram para 3,6% em 2024 antes de cair para 2,6% em 2025, à medida que bolsas e plataformas fintech intensificaram a verificação de identidade e o monitoramento de transações.

A reviravolta vem à medida que os governos africanos aceleram a supervisão de criptomoedas. Países como Quênia, Nigéria e África do Sul implementaram ou avançaram estruturas regulatórias para provedores de serviços de ativos virtuais (VASPs), empurrando as empresas em direção a padrões mais rigorosos de combate à lavagem de dinheiro (AML) e de conhecimento do cliente (KYC).

Marine traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has begun to recover, according to maritime tracking data, after Iran introduced a new transit regime requiring vessels to pay a fee of about $2 million per passage.

The waterway, through which roughly 20% of global oil supply flows, had seen weeks of near-total disruption during the early phase of the U.S.-Iran conflict. However, recent data indicates a selective reopening with some ships resuming transit under the new conditions.

Iranian lawmaker, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, described the policy as a “new sovereign regime,” confirming that while vessels linked to the United States and Israel remain barred, other ships are being allowed through.

Payments are reportedly being made in U.S. dollars, cash, cryptocurrency, or barter arrangements, according to industry sources.

Iran has reportedly approved all GCC, European, and foreign ships for passage at a $2 million $CNY fee, excluding Israeli and American vessels. pic.twitter.com/xCcKHCrVl2

The partial reopening has helped ease pressure on global shipping markets which had been strained by the disruption along one of the world’s most critical energy corridors.

Oil prices remain elevated but have shown signs of stabilizing amid growing expectations of de-escalation. Market sentiment has also been buoyed by reports that Iran’s leadership may be open to renewed negotiations with Washington.

U.S. President Donald Trump has made the full reopening of the strait a key priority while global markets have responded cautiously. India’s benchmark Nifty 50 index edged higher on optimism that tensions could ease, traders said.

A Balancer Labs anunciou que encerrará suas operações de desenvolvimento principais, marcando uma mudança importante para um dos projetos de formador de mercado automatizado mais antigos das finanças descentralizadas, mesmo que o protocolo Balancer em si continue a operar de forma independente.

A equipe por trás do Balancer, um dos principais protocolos DeFi nos primeiros dias do DeFi de 2020-2021, confirmou que encerrará a Balancer Labs, a entidade de desenvolvimento principal responsável pela construção e manutenção do protocolo. A mudança reflete uma transição mais ampla em direção à descentralização, com o desenvolvimento contínuo sendo esperado para ser assumido pela comunidade e contribuidores externos.

A rede blockchain expandiu seu fundo de inteligência artificial dez vezes – de $100 milhões para $1 bilhão – enquanto se posiciona no centro do que chama de ‘economia agentiva’ emergente, onde sistemas de IA autônomos transacionam e operam de forma independente.

O fundo recém ampliado será utilizado em startups em estágio inicial que estão construindo a infraestrutura central para este ecossistema financeiro impulsionado por máquinas. As principais áreas de foco incluem:

sistemas de identidade digital para agentes de IA,

trilhos de pagamento alimentados por stablecoin,

TRON DAO, the community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps), today announced the expansion of its AI Fund from $100 million to $1 billion.

The fund will target investments in and acquisitions of early-stage companies building core infrastructure for the agentic economy. It will prioritize the development and consolidation of agent identity systems, stablecoin-based payment rails, tokenized real-world assets, and developer tooling for autonomous financial systems.

The expansion builds on the fund’s thesis, first outlined in 2023, that AI and blockchain would converge, creating demand for programmable, permissionless financial infrastructure. With growing validation of its original thesis, what began as an early conviction has now scaled into a strategic commitment: AI agents will become active participants in the global economy, requiring new financial infrastructures that combine identity, payment, and asset ownership fully onchain.

Three core theses continue to guide the fund’s mandate:

First, stablecoins are currently the most viable form of money for agent-to-agent commerce. While AI agents cannot access traditional banking services, they can operate digital wallets.

Second, stablecoins are the natural payment layer for individuals and small teams. As AI-augmented people can run what once required entire teams from a single laptop, they need simple, accessible payment systems without complex applications, onboarding, or intermediary fees.

Third, tokenized equity is the ownership layer for the agentic economy. As AI agents begin to manage and transact economic interests on behalf of users, they need a reliable way to hold and transfer ownership. Tokenized equity provides this framework, as it is divisible, programmable, and transferable 24/7.

With over 370 million user accounts on the blockchain, the TRON blockchain is utilized for over $21 billion in daily transaction volume. The network has a circulating supply of more than $85 billion in USDT, making it one of the largest sources of stablecoin liquidity across blockchain networks. Agent-to-agent payments are expected to rely on infrastructure that is already proven at scale. TRON has established this infrastructure through its scalable network, broad user base, and deep liquidity, positioning it to support the growing demands of the agentic economy while extending its role into settlement and custody infrastructure for tokenized assets.

Founders building at the intersection of AI and onchain commerce are invited to reach out directly to AI@tron.network.

MoonPay has open-sourced a new ‘wallet layer’ designed to power the emerging agent economy aiming to standardize how AI agents hold and move value across blockchains.

The company unveiled the Open Wallet Standard, an open-source framework that enables AI agents to

securely manage funds,

sign transactions, and

pay for services

without exposing private keys.

The standard is available across developer platforms including

GitHub,

npm, and

PyPI,

and launches with contributions from more than 20 major industry players.

MoonPay said over a dozen companies contributed to the new specification including several blockchain foundations and infrastructure providers including:

PayPal

Ripple

TRON

Ethereum Foundation

Base

Circle

Solana Foundation

among others.

INTRODUCING | Circle Introduces Nano-Payments with Gas-Free USDC Payments as Small as $0.000001

The standard is not competing with existing protocols. It makes them more valuable. Any protocol that requires a signed transaction now has a common wallet to call. Any tool or agent that supports the standard can access the same wallet with the same funds, just as multiple apps on your phone can access the same bank account.

The move builds on MoonPay’s earlier release of MoonPay Agents, a non-custodial infrastructure layer that allows AI systems to create wallets, access funds, and execute transactions autonomously.

INTRODUCING | Automated Payments for Crypto Using AI Agents Are Finally Here

According to the company, the lack of a unified wallet standard has been a major bottleneck for the agent economy. Currently, different AI frameworks rely on fragmented wallet systems often storing private keys in insecure or incompatible formats limiting interoperability and portability.

By open-sourcing its internal wallet infrastructure, MoonPay aims to create a universal interface that works across blockchains and agent frameworks. The standard supports multi-chain functionality and introduces a shared security model allowing agents to interact with wallets in a consistent and secure way.

The Open Wallet Standard is the latest step in a deliberate shift at MoonPay toward AI-native infrastructure. Over the past year, the company has moved from on-ramp APIs to MoonPay CLI to MoonPay Agents with Ledger-secured hardware signing. Each step has given AI agents more direct, programmable access to the financial layer. The Open Wallet Standard makes that infrastructure available to every agent, every framework, and every chain.

 

“Nobody building a serious agent is going to limit it to one chain. The Open Wallet Standard treats every network as a first-class citizen, and that’s why TON is contributing to it.” – Max Crown, President and CEO of TON Foundation.

INTRODUCING | MoonPay Introduces First AI Agent Secured by a Ledger Signer

The release comes as the broader stack for agent-driven payments rapidly evolves.

Protocols for machine-to-machine transactions and agent identity have already emerged but most assume the existence of a compatible wallet layer. MoonPay’s Open Wallet Standard is positioned to fill that gap and enable seamless coordination between these systems.

CEO, Ivan Soto-Wright, said the launch completes a key piece of infrastructure for AI-driven commerce arguing that while payment rails for agents already exist, a standardized wallet layer had been missing.

The initiative signals MoonPay’s broader shift toward building AI-native financial infrastructure positioning itself at the intersection of programmable money and autonomous agents.

Prediction market platform, Polymarket, has rolled out a sweeping update to its rules, tightening restrictions around insider trading and market manipulation as scrutiny over suspicious betting activity intensifies.

The new framework introduces clearer prohibitions on trading with privileged or confidential information, including

bans on using stolen data,

acting on illegal tips, or

participating in markets where a trader could directly influence the outcome.

INSIGHTS | Prediction Markets Have an Insider Trading Problem That Needs Fixing

Polymarket also said it is strengthening market integrity standards by improving how contracts are designed and resolved. This includes

clearer outcome definitions,

more reliable data sources, and

stricter criteria for settling bets,

areas that have previously drawn criticism during controversial market outcomes.

As part of the overhaul, the platform is ramping up surveillance and monitoring systems to detect suspicious trading patterns while introducing formal channels for reporting abuse. The company is also limiting certain high-risk or ethically sensitive markets that could be more vulnerable to manipulation.

REGULATION | Insider Trading Risks Escalate on Prediction Markets as Enforcement Intensifies

The rule changes come amid growing concerns that prediction markets are being exploited by traders with insider knowledge. Recent cases involving well-timed bets on geopolitical events, including military actions and ceasefire talks, have raised alarms among analysts and regulators.

Polymarket’s move aligns with a broader industry shift as platforms face mounting regulatory pressure and calls for stricter oversight to prevent abuse while preserving the legitimacy of event-based trading markets.

A empresa de tesouraria em bitcoin, H100 Group, com sede na Suécia, se mudou para expandir significativamente suas participações por meio de uma proposta de aquisição de duas empresas de cripto nórdicas, um negócio que poderia elevar suas reservas para cerca de 3.500 bitcoins.

A empresa disse que assinou uma carta de intenções para adquirir uma empresa com sede na Noruega

Moonshot e

Never Say Die

em uma transação estruturada como uma troca de bitcoin por bitcoin, significando que a propriedade na entidade combinada será determinada pelo BTC contribuído em vez de dinheiro.

As empresas-alvo detêm coletivamente cerca de 2.450 BTC, e se o negócio for concluído, as participações totais da H100 quase triplicariam, posicionando-a entre as maiores empresas de tesouraria em bitcoin listadas publicamente na Europa.

O aumento das tensões geopolíticas e os desligamentos de comunicação em partes do mundo estão acelerando o interesse em plataformas de mensagens descentralizadas, já que os usuários buscam maneiras mais resilientes e resistentes à censura de se manterem conectados.

De acordo com uma análise de mercado recente,

agora há mais de 55 milhões de usuários de aplicativos de mensagens em blockchain globalmente.

A demanda dos usuários focada em privacidade representou aproximadamente 72 % do uso de aplicativos de mensagens em blockchain em 2023.

A região da Ásia-Pacífico contribuiu com cerca de 35 % da adoção global de usuários até 2024.

O stablecoin USR da Resolv colapsou em cerca de 70% após um grande exploit que permitiu a um atacante cunhar dezenas de milhões de tokens sem lastro, desencadeando uma rápida perda de sua paridade com o dólar.

A violação, que ocorreu durante o fim de semana, viu o atacante explorar uma falha no mecanismo de cunhagem do protocolo para criar cerca de $80 milhões em USR sem colateral suficiente. Os novos tokens cunhados foram rapidamente descarregados em trocas descentralizadas, desestabilizando o sistema e drenando a liquidez.

À medida que o pânico se espalhava, o USR, projetado para manter um valor de 1:1 com o dólar dos EUA, despencou abruptamente, caindo brevemente para apenas uma fração de seu valor pretendido antes de se recuperar parcialmente. No entanto, continua significativamente abaixo de sua paridade, sublinhando a gravidade do incidente.

TransFi levantou US$ 19,2 milhões em novo financiamento para expandir sua infraestrutura de pagamentos powered by stablecoin, enquanto a empresa busca modernizar transações transfronteiriças em mercados emergentes.

A rodada, liderada pelo Turing Financial Group e estruturada como uma mistura de capital de equity e liquidez, será usada para escalar a plataforma global da TransFi, que permite que empresas movimentem dinheiro usando stablecoins em vez de depender de trilhos bancários tradicionais.

Dos US$ 19,2 milhões, US$ 5 milhões são uma instalação de liquidez comprometida.

Circle has launched its 2026 developer grants program, backing the first cohort of startups building infrastructure and applications around stablecoins as the firm doubles down on expanding its internet-native financial ecosystem.

The initiative is designed to fund and support early-stage teams integrating USDC and other Circle products into real-world use cases. Grants typically range from $5,000 to $100,000 in USDC, alongside operational support, technical guidance, and potential access to Circle’s venture arm.

Out of the 14 selected startups, 6 are African below:

) Agridex (African)

) Beeezo

) Blockradar (African)

) BuFi

) Cashmere Labs

) DAPL – Digital Asset Platform

) DZap.io

) Flezpay.com

) GCRx

) Hurupay (African)

) Myaza

) OpenVPP

) Payrit (African)

) RebelFi

) SFx Money (African)

) Thurman Labs

) Tides (Neptune Labs)

) TruMarket

) ViFi Labs (African)

2025 RECAP | Africa-Founded Stablecoin Startup, Blockradar, Crosses $300 Million in Transaction Volume With ~100,000 Wallets Created in 2025

The result of the selection process is an incredible cohort that’s already building in places programmable finance needs most, including:

AI-powered financial agents and autonomous commerce

Payments and treasury infrastructure

Capital markets and FX systems

DeFi and liquidity applications

Real-world asset platforms

Several teams are also experimenting with Circle’s emerging blockchain infrastructure, including its Arc network, which is positioned as a settlement layer for real-time financial activity.

Notably, the program is increasingly focused on builders developing AI-powered financial agents, autonomous commerce systems, and cross-border payment solutions, signaling how stablecoins are evolving beyond simple transfers into programmable financial tools.

Circle said its selection process emphasizes

technical execution,

integration with its product stack, and

clear paths to market adoption.

Successful applicants receive hands-on engagement from the company’s ecosystem, product, and business development teams, as well as co-marketing and partnership opportunities to accelerate growth.

The grants come as Circle pushes a broader strategy to scale stablecoin infrastructure globally. The company is advancing Arc from testnet toward production and expanding the reach of USDC and related services across payments, foreign exchange, and enterprise finance.

Industry-wide, stablecoins are increasingly being used to power faster and cheaper cross-border transactions, treasury operations, and on-chain financial applications, particularly in emerging markets where traditional banking rails remain costly and slow.

By backing developers at the application layer, Circle is positioning itself at the center of this shift aiming to turn stablecoins from a trading tool into the backbone of a global, programmable financial system.

O mercado de criptomoedas da Coreia do Sul está enfrentando uma forte escassez de liquidez, à medida que o capital rapidamente se desloca para ações tradicionais.

Os saldos de stablecoins nas cinco principais exchanges de criptomoedas do país caíram cerca de 55% desde julho de 2025, passando de aproximadamente $575 milhões para cerca de $188 milhões. As saídas aceleraram em março de 2026, à medida que o Won sul-coreano se desvalorizava significativamente, levando os traders a abandonarem ativos atrelados ao dólar e converterem suas holdings em moeda local.

O Won sul-coreano caiu para o nível mais baixo em 16 anos em relação ao dólar até agora.
