⚡️🤑 Mastercard launches Agent Pay for Machines to unlock super-fast, always-on payments

As AI agents begin transacting on behalf of businesses, payments need more than speed. Mastercard developed a new way to pay for these services: payments, some only fractions of a cent, to be completed quickly, programmatically and securely.

❗️Today, the company is introducing Agent Pay for Machines (AP4M), a new service that will allow these transactions to be permissioned, orchestrated and settled at machine speed across its global payments network.

Initial participants and supporters include: Aave Labs, Adyen, Alchemy, Anchorage Digital, Ant International, Basis Theory, BVNK, Catena, Checkout, Cloudflare, Coinbase, Coinflow, Crossmint, Getnet by Santander, Global Payments, Lovable Labs Incorporated,Mastercard Merchant Cloud, MoonPay, Nevermined, OKX, PayOS, Polygon, Rain, RippleX, Sapiom, Skyfire, Solana Foundation, Stripe, t54 Labs, Tempo, Turnkey and Utila. 🤝

XRPL and RLUSD are built so enterprises can let agents transact at machine speed within rules the chain itself enforces, with settlement in seconds, predictable costs, programmable compliance, and a full audit trail, so agents can only ever do what they are authorized to do," — said Markus Infanger, senior vice president of RippleX.


“Mastercard's move toward regulated stablecoin settlement on-chain is an important signal that this is evolving from an emerging capability into an enterprise standard," — he added.

🤖 Decart launches Oasis 3 for photorealistic driving simulations via API

The Decart research team unveiled a new world model Oasis 3 capable of simulating hours of photorealistic driving across different road scenarios. The system can reproduce complex visual and dynamic aspects of control, including realistic scenes, weather conditions, and traffic flows.

The startup is initially targeting autonomous vehicle companies that need to simulate rare driving scenarios at scale, and plans to expand into robotics and other physical AI applications. By offering API access from day one, Decart is trying to build a developer ecosystem around world models much like how OpenAI did with language models.

“It’s going to be the first usable world model that people can actually program on top of,” — Dean Leitersdorf, CEO of Decart, said. “I think there’s going to be an entire developer community that emerges on top of this.”

🤑 Reliability at Scale: RedStone and the Data Standard for Stellar’s RWA Moment

The results are legible in the numbers. 📈

Stellar’s RWA ecosystem has surpassed $2 billion in tokenized asset value, a quadrupling in roughly a year, while the broader market grew from $6 billion to over $31 billion between early 2025 and mid-2026. Issuers found their footing.

What SEP-40 Actually Solves

📚 SEP-40 is Stellar’s standard interface for oracle consumers, a specification that defines how smart contracts request price data, regardless of which oracle provides it.


RedStone has implemented the SEP-40 oracle standard on Stellar, providing a unified, high-frequency pricing interface for on-chain RWA assets across the ecosystem. 🤝

📚 RedStone is the data layer for institutional DeFi, delivering secure, low-latency price feeds for digital assets, RWAs, stablecoins, LSTs, LRTs, and Bitcoin LSTs across 110+ chains.


A protocol using SEP-40-compliant data can switch oracle providers without changing its own logic. The interface defines how feeds show their base asset, supported assets, decimal precision, and resolution. Consumer contracts request prices via last price, point-in-time price, or multi-record price calls for TWAP calculations. Each PriceData record includes a timestamp for staleness checks on the consumer side.

❗️Stellar has always had a strong case for institutional issuance of RWA.

RedStone’s SEP-40 implementation delivers the pricing layer by offering a standard, interoperable, high-frequency data infrastructure that works across all protocols in the Stellar ecosystem without needing custom adapters.🔣Nine assets are live across Stellar’s key asset classes, from stablecoins and sovereign debt instruments to Bitcoin products.

The RWA pipeline on Stellar has quadrupled over the past year. The infrastructure that turns issued assets into usable DeFi collateral is now live. 🚀

⚡️🇨🇦 Meta, X to Face Moratorium on Users Under 16 With New Canada Bill

Canadian Identity and Culture Minister Marc Miller
introduced the Liberal government’s Safe Social Media Act that would ban social media for youth under 16 unless companies such as Meta Platforms Inc. and X Corp. meet a set of safety standards.

“We need basic protection in place, so every child in this country can be safe on platforms they use every day,” — Miller said.


The bill would also impact AI chatbots, though they wouldn’t face a ban on youth users. Firms must mitigate the risk of the chatbot communicating harmful content and be transparent about their reporting thresholds in crisis situations.

❗️The bill will have to pass through Parliament before a ban comes into effect.

🔥 Lumendex Is Not What You Think It Is

Most people think their account lives inside the app they use, but that's only part of the story. 🧩

Lumendex provides a practical way to interact with Stellar, while the account itself exists independently on the network. Logging into an app is only one layer of access.🔣True control comes from the keys that identify the account and determine who can control it.

As financial infrastructure evolves, understanding the layers beneath the interface becomes increasingly important. 🧠

🤑🤑 XRP, XLM, and LINK Get Featured in Brand New Nasdaq CME Crypto Index, Alongside Bitcoin

Major global derivatives exchange CME Group has officially announced the launch of trading in futures contracts on the new Nasdaq CME Crypto Index.

❗️The main feature of the new benchmark is the inclusion of XRP, Stellar (XLM), and Chainlink (LINK) in a single regulated basket alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, and Bitcoin Cash.

⤴️This comprehensive approach is designed to give institutional investors easy access to a broader spectrum of crypto assets through one targeted product.

The new contracts operate with cash settlement, referencing the Nasdaq CME Crypto Settlement Price Index. This structure enables funds to gain diversified exposure to the crypto market without directly buying or managing the underlying tokens.

📚 Cash-settled futures allow parties to exchange the difference in the underlying asset’s value in cash, rather than delivering the actual asset at contract expiry. For institutional investors, this simplifies storage and operational procedures.


"With trading now officially underway, our new Nasdaq CME Crypto Index futures represent a major milestone in the expansion of our regulated digital asset marketplace. These contracts give clients a cost-efficient tool to hedge their risk or directly pursue broad-based crypto opportunities," — said Giovanni Vicioso, Global Head of Cryptocurrency Products at CME Group.


Company officials say the move was driven by investor calls for clarity and rule-based frameworks. The futures contracts empower funds with robust tools to manage crypto risk within the familiar infrastructure of traditional finance. 🚀

⚡️🇭🇺 Hungary to Decriminalize Crypto Trading, Reversing Orban-Era Restrictions

Hungary plans to remove criminal penalties for cryptocurrency trading, reversing measures put in place under former leader Viktor Orban, government spokeswoman Anita Kobol said.


⤴️The outgoing rules required approved validation for crypto-to-fiat and crypto-to-crypto conversions and carried potential prison terms for violations — measures that prompted several digital-asset platforms, including Revolut, to suspend services in the country.

Trading volumes for digital assets declined in the country following the implementation of the rules. The European Union opened an investigation into whether the restrictions complied with the bloc’s regulations.

🇯🇵 Japan's parliament advances bill to classify cryptocurrencies as financial instruments

Japan could soon treat cryptocurrencies like stocks and other financial investments, rather than just as a payment method.

🧑‍⚖️ The country's House of Representatives passed a bill that shifts crypto regulation from the Payment Services Act to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. The legislation is expected to take effect next year if approved by the House of Councillors.

Under the proposed framework, crypto assets would be classified as financial instruments, placing them under a regulatory regime similar to that governing stocks.


⤴️ The change would subject the crypto sector to stricter trading rules, while paving the way for more favorable tax treatment, potentially reducing the tax rate on crypto gains from a maximum of 55% to a flat 20%, in line with stocks and bonds.

❗️It also opens the door to new products like exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

"Crypto-ETFs would provide investors with easy-to-understand ways of investment," — the ruling Liberal Democratic Party said recently.


"Our framework intends to improve user protection while remaining mindful of promoting innovation, given that crypto assets are increasingly positioned as investment targets for both domestic and foreign investors," — the Financial Services Agency (FSA) said in the statement.


The FSA attributed the move to crypto quickly becoming a more mainstream investment asset in an announcement of the passage of the bill Thursday. Japan now has more than 14 million open crypto accounts, according to data cited by the FSA. 🚀

⚡️🤑 Ripple and Bitso Expand Partnership to Advance Enterprise Stablecoin Settlement in Latin America

Ripple today announced the expansion of its long-standing payments partnership with Bitso, Latin America's leading digital financial services company. 🎉

As part of the collaboration, Bitso’s regulated MXN-backed stablecoin, MXNB, will be issued on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and integrated into Ripple’s evolving Payments on Decentralized Exchange (DEX) infrastructure. Together with RLUSD, MXNB will support more efficient liquidity and settlement flows for enterprise cross-border payments across the U.S.–Mexico corridor.

❗️MXNB will be integrated into XRPL’s Permissioned DEX, designed to support regulated financial activity by enabling verified counterparties to access onchain liquidity and settlement infrastructure in a more compliance-focused and operationally efficient environment.

Ripple and Bitso have spent years building payment infrastructure that operates at real-world scale across Latin America,” — said Silvio Pegado, Ripple’s Managing Director of LATAM. “By bringing together RLUSD and MXNB on the XRPL Permissioned DEX, we're helping create regulated, onchain liquidity infrastructure purpose-built for enterprise cross-border payments. This is the next evolution of how value moves between dollars and pesos.” 🤝


Ripple and Bitso have partnered for years to support payment infrastructure across key LATAM corridors, including MXN and COP payout flows. The expansion into XRPL and Payments on DEX marks the next phase of the relationship, bringing localized stablecoin settlement infrastructure to one of the world’s most important remittance and cross-border payment markets. 🤪
