โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ U.S. CFTC chief puts staff on notice to create crypto regulations if Clarity Act fails

The CFTC Chairman Mike Selig said that a U.S. Senate failure would spur his agency to start trying to create a "crypto asset market" regulatory label for firms much like the CFTC's existing category of designated contract markets (DCMs).

"If Clarity continues to stall because of Democrat obstruction, the CFTC will utilize its existing authorities to begin establishing a regime for crypto asset markets," โ€” said Selig. "We will heed President [Donald] Trump's call to codify a future-proof digital asset market structure that cannot be undone by the crypto haters."


He's also steered staff toward work with developers to build regulations to "offer their protocols in a legal and compliant manner in the United States, future-proofing developer protections once and for all."

๐Ÿค‘ Real-World Yield: Institutional Lending Comes to XRPL

A real economy is forming onchain. Stablecoin transaction volume exceeded $27 trillion last year, driven increasingly by fintechs and payment companies using them for genuine working capital needs. Tokenized private credit issuance has surpassed $10 billion.

๐Ÿงฑ How It Works: A New Model for Onchain Credit

This partnership brings together three parties to deploy significant institutional lending on XRPL.

๐Ÿ”œ Clearpool is now building the institutional credit layer for XRPL. By leveraging XRPL's native Lending Protocol (XLS-66) and Single Asset Vaults (XLS-65), Clearpool enables a curator-driven model where independent risk managers operate isolated credit markets, a vault architecture already proven at scale in DeFi, now built natively on XRPL.

๐Ÿ”œ Cicada Partners takes the credit origination and servicing. An independent underwriter bringing institutional credit standards to onchain lending, with $860M+ underwritten. Cicada acts as both the fund GP and credit pool manager โ€” sourcing borrowers, setting loan covenants, and monitoring borrower health.

๐Ÿ”œ Ripple is an LP in the credit fund, pari passu with other investors. Ripple provides capital alongside institutional co-investors โ€” not as a backstop, but as a participant in the fund on equal terms.

๐Ÿค Clearpool provides the infrastructure, Cicada provides the credit expertise, and Ripple provides the capital and settlement rails. The three-party structure is the story. ๐Ÿš€

XRPL's longstanding track record of reliable, uninterrupted operation and its robust financial infrastructure make it purpose-built for what institutional lending requires.

๐Ÿ† The Flywheel: Who Benefits

๐ŸŸ For borrowers, this unlocks a new source of institutional capital. Borrowers include fintechs, payment companies, and crypto service providers using stablecoins to bridge working capital gaps. These businesses operate across onchain and traditional rails, with XRPL serving as the settlement and credit layer. The capital goes to real businesses with real use of proceeds.

๐ŸŸ For the XRPL ecosystem, this opens doors that were previously closed. RLUSD holders can deposit into curated credit pools through the Single Asset Vault, accessing institutional-grade lending that has historically been reserved for accredited investors and institutional allocators.

This deployment demonstrates that XRPL is not just a payments chain. It's a complete financial infrastructure layer.

๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท BitGo secures South Korea virtual asset license, says it's the first global crypto company to do so

BitGo Holdings, a crypto custody company, became the first global cryptocurrency firm to secure a virtual asset services provider license in South Korea, giving it access to institutions in one of the world's most active crypto populations.

The company, which went public on the NYSE earlier this year at a $2 billion valuation, established a local entity, BitGo Korea, to add to existing regulated units in the U.S., Singapore, Germany, and Dubai. The Korea Financial Intelligence Unit (KoFIU) approval covers virtual asset custody and transfer services for institutional and enterprise clients.

โ€œKorean institutions are looking for infrastructure that combines institutional-grade security with local support and regulatory alignment,โ€ โ€” said Abel Seow, managing director at BitGo.

๐ŸŽฎ Meta brings Pocket, an app that lets you vibe-code and share games, to US users

Metaโ€™s experimental vibe-coding gaming app, Pocket, is now rolling out to everyone in the U.S. The app, which arrived quietly last month in the test market of Brazil, allows people to generate small, interactive games using AI prompts, which are published to a scrollable feed.

These interactive experiences and games (โ€œgizmosโ€) respond to touch and the tilt of your phone, play sound effects, and can include clips of your favorite songs. They can also use photos from your camera roll or access your camera. The resulting games can then be shared on your profile, where others can save them, remix them into other creations, or simply repost them.

๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ President Donald J. Trump signed a National Security Presidential Memorandum

Trump signed a new National Security Presidential Memorandum to reinvigorate Americaโ€™s leadership in space transportation and enable over 1,000 launches and reentries on American soil annually by 2030.

"In the 13 years since the last update to the Policy, U.S. launches have surged 10x: from 19 successful orbital launches in 2013 to 178 in 2025. This policy builds on that momentum to enable 1,000 launches and reentries on American soil by 2030," โ€” Michael Kratsios, White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, said.


The NSPM calls for:
โžก๏ธRepealing outdated policies and expediting permitting for space transportation infrastructure
โžก๏ธBuilding out more launch and reentry sites on American soil
โžก๏ธIncreasing commercial transportation access to and from the Moon and commercial robotic access to Mars
โžก๏ธExploring commercial avenues to send humans to and from Mars

This is how America leads.๐Ÿ†

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿš˜ Tesla Recalls 3 Million EVs in China Over Door Handle Safety

Tesla Inc. and at least eight other carmakers are recalling millions of cars in China over safety concerns with their door handles, a major step to address flaws that have led to vehicle entrapment and multiple fatalities.

More than 4 million vehicles are affected as part of the broad crackdown, one of the most sweeping recalls ever in the worldโ€™s biggest auto market. Tesla accounts for the largest share, with just under 3 million vehicles included in the action announced Friday.

๐Ÿค‘ The world's government debt is coming onchain. It's choosing Stellar.

The Stellar network now holds more tokenized non-US government debt than any other blockchain, a lead it has held since February. Here's what's behind the number, and why the fastest-growing corner of the RWA market keeps landing on the same network.

โ—๏ธA data point made the rounds this week: Stellar has overtaken Ethereum in tokenized non-US government debt, with roughly $490 million in sovereign instruments onchain, according to RWA.xyz data as of August 20, 2026. Stellar first passed Ethereum in this category in early February and has held the top spot on the leaderboard every day since.๐Ÿ†

What Stellar leads is a specific race: sovereign debt issued outside the US, in currencies other than the dollar. We think that race matters more than its current size suggests. Most of the world's governments and businesses don't operate in dollars. The networks that serve them will define where tokenization goes next.

Institutions have noticed, and around the world the roster keeps deepening: U.S. Bank, Amundi, Sociรฉtรฉ Gรฉnรฉrale, AllUnity, Kenanga in Malaysia, and SDF's work with Marketnode in Singapore, backed by SGX and Temasek. That geographic spread is hard to replicate and increasingly the moat. ๐ŸŒ

Where this goes next ๐Ÿš€

๐Ÿงฑ Three things that make us excited that the curve will continue.

๐Ÿ”œ RWAs on Stellar are becoming productive collateral: Templar's April launch enabled lending and borrowing against tokenized assets, including Centrifuge's deJAAA and deJTRSY and Etherfuse's CETES and USTRY.

๐Ÿ”œ Agentic commerce is emerging as a new demand vector, with the x402 protocol positioning Stellar as a settlement rail for machine-to-machine payments.

๐Ÿ”œ And regulatory clarity outside the US keeps opening new markets, from further EU issuance following EURAU and EURCV to institutional expansion across APAC.

To the teams making this real, Etherfuse, Spiko, Circle, Franklin Templeton, WisdomTree, and every issuer bringing sovereign instruments to Stellar: this milestone is yours. The scoreboard just caught up to the work. ๐Ÿ‘

๐Ÿค‘ Ankr and the Ripple Ecosystem: Institutional-Grade RPC Infrastructure for XRP Ledger

XRP Ledger sits at the centre of one of the most significant financial infrastructure networks in the world. ๐Ÿš€

The rails are real. The transaction volume is real. The institutional adoption is real. Running serious financial infrastructure on XRPL demands serious infrastructure underneath it.

๐Ÿ”œ Ankr provides the RPC infrastructure layer connecting builders and enterprises to XRP Ledger, the distributed node network that handles the volume, uptime, and reliability demands of production financial applications.

๐Ÿ”œ This is the same infrastructure standard Ankr applies across its enterprise client base, which includes Trust Wallet, Fireblocks, TRM Labs, and Dune Analytics, institutions that cannot afford infrastructure failures.

๐Ÿ”œ Ankr is SOC 2 Type II certified. It runs on a private fiber network with 99.99% uptime SLA. It supports dedicated enterprise endpoints for teams that need guaranteed performance and capacity beyond the public tier.

Public endpoints are live now. Enterprise accounts with dedicated capacity, SLA guarantees, and direct support are available for teams that need more.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿง‘โ€โš–๏ธ Crypto advocates join in suing Illinois over digital asset tax

The crypto industry is piling more legal challenges on Illinois over its new law that imposes a 0.2% tax on businesses transacting or storing crypto for customers within its borders, with two more advocacy groups filing another lawsuit.

The Crypto Council for Innovation and the Blockchain Association sued the state on Friday, claiming the crypto tax violates the U.S. Constitution, Illinois Constitution and the Internet Tax Freedom Act. Its legal volley joins an earlier lawsuit filed last month by the Digital Chamber.

"This tax singles out digital assets for uniquely punitive treatment based on the underlying technology rather than the substance of the transaction itself," โ€” said Ji Kim, who leads CCI. "A tax on digital asset activity with no equivalent tax for traditional assets unlawfully picks winners and losers through the tax code."
