Optimism moves 546.9M OP from future airdrops to ecosystem growth fund

Blockchain Optimisms governance has approved a proposal to repurpose 546.9 million OP tokens previously reserved for user airdrops to support ecosystem growth and institutional adoption.　　OP currently has a market cap of roughly $214 million, with a circulating supply of about 2.29 billion tokens, according to CoinGecko data.　　The new Strategic Ecosystem Fund will support partnerships with chains, protocols and institutions, as well as incentives to increase activity and liquidity on OP Mainnet and grow OP Enterprise.　　The decision drew pushback from some delegates who argued the tokens had been promised to users and questioned how the foundation would measure returns from the fund. Supporters said the allocation would be better used to compete for enterprise deals and drive growth.　　Optimism vote to repurpose 546.9M OP.

More than 30 OP Stack chains currently contribute revenue to Optimism, according to the

X considers USDC payments for creator rewards

Elon Musks X has begun exploring USDC and other stablecoins as possible payment methods for creators while preparing to replace its existing revenue-sharing system.　　X considers USDC for creator rewards　　CoinDesk reported on Thursday that X is discussing whether to pay creators and other content providers with stablecoins, citing a person familiar with the plans.　　Circle Internet Groups USDC is one of the digital tokens under consideration, although X has not chosen a payment method or disclosed when it could introduce stablecoin payouts. Talks remain active, according to the source, who also works with other social media companies testing stablecoins for influencer commissions.　　X did not respond to CoinDesks request for comment, leaving the possible payment structure, supported countries and blockchain networks unconfirmed. The report also did not state whether creators would receive stablecoins by default or select them as an alternative to bank payments.　　A stablecoin option could allow X to use one dollar-linked asset for creators in several countries, rather than arranging separate transfers through each local banking system. Any practical benefit would still depend on the networks, wallets, conversion services and withdrawal rules selected by the company.　　USDC is designed to maintain a one-to-one value with the U.S. dollar and can move across

Ripple Enters $10 Billion Private Credit Market: What It Means for XRP

Ripples entry into the global private credit market, valued at more than $10 billion, will begin with a major upgrade to XRP Ledger (XRPL). RippleX developers have announced the addition of an institutional lending feature in partnership with Clearpool Finance and Cicada Partners.　　While 98% of yield in the DeFi industry is generated through the speculative circulation of loans within the crypto market itself, this initiative offers lending to real-world businesses — fintech and payment companies that need working capital.　　Through this solution, the partners plan to attract a portion of the capital from the tokenized private credit sector to the network.　　For XRP holders, the value of the upgrade lies in the growth of network activity and token utility. Borrowers will take out loans in the new regulated stablecoin RLUSD, protected by NYDFS oversight and custody at the Bank of New York.　　Investing In Digital Currencies And Crypto　　Mechanics of the RLUSD Flywheel on XRP Ledger.

Legendary Trader Brandt Buys Bitcoin: Rare Pattern Is Key Reason Why

Legendary futures trader and head of Factor LLC Peter Brandt has opened a long position in Bitcoin, completely reversing his previous market outlook. The change in his trading strategy was prompted by a decisive technical breakout from a rare chart pattern that pulled the cryptocurrency out of a prolonged downtrend.　　Recently, falling prices had dominated the market, and Brandt openly admitted that “there was a reason to have expected a downside move in Bitcoin.”　　Because of the prolonged formation of the right shoulder, the trader believed that the chart pattern “has a 60/40 chance to be resolved to the downside,” especially considering that the broader “trend was down.”　　Daily CME Bitcoin futures chart showing an inverted head-and-shoulders breakout to $72,330. Source: Peter Brandt / TradeNavigator　　However, this weeks price action completely invalidated the bearish scenario. A period of local calm gave way to a powerful impulse: Bitcoin moved above resistance near $64,000, established solid support and ended a multiweek consolidation with a decisive breakout.　　As a result, on the daily chart of CME Bitcoin futures (BTC-056 contract), the price broke above the key neckline of the inverted head-and-shoulders reversal pattern. The completion of this pattern, which has been rare in the current market cycle, triggered

CFTC plans crypto rules regardless of CLARITY Act

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has prepared digital asset market structure proposals that could move forward even if Congress does not pass the CLARITY Act.　　Whale Insider reported on Aug. 20 that Selig said the CFTC already had regulatory proposals prepared, giving the agency a route to continue its crypto agenda if lawmakers fail to complete the legislation.　　JUST IN: ????????

Congress would still need to act before the regulator could receive the full spot-market authority contemplated by the CLARITY Act.　　CFTC crypto rules could proceed under existing powers　　The CFTC currently oversees derivatives markets, including futures, options, and swaps tied to digital assets. Its enforcement authority also covers fraud and manipulation in spot commodity transactions, but the agency does not have the same routine supervisory power over crypto spot exchanges that it exercises over registered derivatives platforms.　　Without legislation, any CFTC

The onchain agent infrastructure stack: Building rails for autonomous web3

Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice. The content and materials featured on this page are for educational purposes only.　　The Graph says onchain AI agents need identity, structured data and payments to act autonomously.　　Artificial intelligence and blockchain have spent years developing largely along parallel tracks. AI has become increasingly capable of reasoning, interpreting instructions and making decisions, while blockchain networks have created programmable financial systems that can operate without centralized intermediaries. The next stage is bringing those capabilities together.　　The result could be an internet populated not only by human users, but also by autonomous AI agents capable of discovering information, making decisions, interacting with protocols and paying for services on their own.　　That future requires more than increasingly powerful large language models. As The Graph Foundation explains in its Aug. 18 blog post, “The Onchain Agent Infrastructure Stack Explained,” autonomous agents need infrastructure that translates AI reasoning into reliable blockchain actions. The Graph frames the emerging stack around three fundamental requirements: identity, environmental awareness and economic agency.　　Identity: Giving agents an onchain passport　　Before an autonomous agent can transact, a blockchain needs a reliable way to identify it and determine what it is authorized to do.　　Simply giving an AI agent access to
