According to CoinDesk, Utexo, an infrastructure project supported by Tether, plans to issue USDT on the Bitcoin network this month. Utexo has obtained a commercial license to issue USDT on Bitcoin and plans to provide corresponding APIs, SDKs, and cloud infrastructure for exchanges, wallets, and payment service providers. Based on the RGB protocol and the Bitcoin UTXO model, Utexo will keep most transaction data off-chain, with a focus on supporting three types of applications: private USDT transfers, direct swaps between native BTC and USDT, and borrowing using native BTC as collateral without wrapping BTC to other blockchains. USDT was first issued on the Bitcoin network via the Omni protocol in 2014, after which Ethereum and Tron gradually became its primary circulating networks. Following the issuance of USDT on the Bitcoin mainnet, Utexo also plans to further expand to the Lightning Network.
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 1 proposed the first major update to securities transfer agent rules since the late 1970s, aiming to adapt to the shift from paper records to electronic data.SEC Chairman Paul Atkins said the rules should reflect how securities transfer agents actually operate today and in the future, including the use of blockchain technology in securities issuance and share transfers.Securities transfer agents are responsible for maintaining official records of securities ownership, processing transfers and restrictive legends, and collaborating with the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) as part of the national clearing and settlement system.

According to The Block, Visa released its Money Travels 2026 report. Based on a survey of 2,192 U.S. adults, consumer willingness to use stablecoins would rise from 36% to 56% if they feature bank-level fraud protection and deposit insurance; if offered through existing financial institutions, willingness could also reach 45%. The survey also indicates that 56% of respondents had never heard of stablecoins, while 64% trust payment providers more than the technology itself. Currently, the global total supply of USD-pegged stablecoins exceeds $295 billion, comprising approximately $183.4 billion in USDT and around $76 billion in USDC. Visa's annualized stablecoin settlement volume has already surpassed $20 billion, representing an increase of over 15 times compared to a year ago.
A commit titled “Binary options support” recently appeared in the codebase for the decentralized order book exchange platform Lighter, indicating that its ZK Circuits may have begun supporting binary outcome markets (prediction markets). Based on the code, each market features a settlement cap, with share prices trading between 0 and the cap; upon settlement, shares ultimately resolve to zero or reach the cap. Contracts are fully collateralized with USDC, meaning they involve no leverage or liquidation. Analysis suggests that Lighter may introduce a "market operator" model, which would allow whitelisted operators to create, manage, and handle market settlement, similar to the HIP-3 deployment model.

Odaily News: Bitcoin fork asset BTCB2 hit an all-time high of $1,799 on September 5. Over the past 4 hours, its price has fluctuated between 750 and 1,000 USDC; the Neoxa USDC market recorded a 24-hour trading volume of approximately $1 million.BTCB2 originated from a chain split that occurred on August 8, 2026, at block height 961,632. The network subsequently changed its proof-of-work algorithm to Blake2 and reduced block size, and it can now be mined using Blake2-compatible ASIC miners.Neoxa Exchange and Nonkyc.io have listed BTCB2, with the former offering BTC, USDC, and USDT trading pairs, and the latter offering a USDT trading pair. Both platforms have limited liquidity, and CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko have not yet listed the asset.Based on a BTCB2 price of $1,000, its fully diluted valuation stands at approximately $20.9 billion. Since UTXOs need to be split from Bitcoin first, transactions may otherwise be vulnerable to replay attacks; the network's hash rate has risen by 30.41% over the past 7 days, reaching approximately 5.1 PH/s.

According to BIS Working Paper 1374 released by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the BIS, together with several researchers, has proposed a verifiable framework that binds official statistical data to the blockchain. The solution computes cryptographic fingerprints for SDMX datasets and anchors the digest values to the XRP Ledger, enabling independent verification of data provenance and integrity while leaving existing data publication workflows unaffected. Prototype tests show a data publication latency of approximately 3–5 seconds and a verification latency of approximately 1–2 seconds, meeting the requirements for real-time interactions and automated systems. Since only fingerprints, rather than raw data, are stored on-chain, data confidentiality is preserved. Cost modeling indicates that on-chain fees become negligible after batch processing, with a single ledger record capable of covering thousands of datasets. The study also provides an open-source reference implementation and reserves capacity for future integration of zero-knowledge proofs and AI-driven automated verification.
