India plans to promote the cross-border application of the digital rupee to enhance trade settlement efficiency
Foresight News reports, according to Cointelegraph, India is actively exploring the cross-border application of the digital rupee (e-rupee) with the aim of reducing payment costs, increasing trade settlement efficiency, and expanding the global influence of the rupee. As a sovereign digital currency issued by the Reserve Bank of India, the e-rupee enables direct and final settlements without relying on multiple intermediaries in international payments. Currently, India has proposed linking the e-rupee with the central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) of other countries, particularly those in the BRICS nations, to simplify cross-border trade, remittances, and travel settlements. This move is not only aimed at addressing challenges such as high costs and slow speeds in traditional international payments but is also seen as providing a regulated alternative to reduce the monetary and systemic risks posed by private stablecoins.
Virtuals launches 60 Days framework, supporting 60 days of testing and reversible tokenization mechanism
According to Foresight News, the Virtuals Protocol has launched the '60 Days' tokenization framework to reduce the tokenization risk of early projects during a 60-day public building and testing period. Under this framework, all token launches are conducted on the Base network, initially operating in a private pool. When the cumulative trading volume reaches 42,000 VIRTUAL tokens, liquidity will be migrated to the Uniswap V2 pool.
This framework allows founders to decide whether to submit at the end of 60 days. If they choose to submit, the tokens will enter a long-term development phase, and funds will be released in stages; if they choose not to submit, the project will be shut down, and the funds accumulated through ACF, trading tax, and liquidity pools will be refunded to eligible holders. Furthermore, this model includes a 1% trading tax, with 70% allocated to the founders and 30% allocated to the protocol. Founders can also choose to establish a growth allocation pool for team token shares of up to 5%; if they ultimately do not submit, such funds will also be fully refunded.

Reports show that Circle and Tether each profited about $1 billion in 2024 from investing reserve funds (including reserve assets backing stolen funds).
