Redbelly's Malabar Release: Faster, Smarter, Stronger

Stablecoins now power the move of billions of dollars annually, but behind the simplicity of “digital dollars” lies a complex value chain of key players powering the stablecoin ecosystem. In our latest article, co-authored by Uchenna Edeoga and Arjun Mukherjee, we explored the various actors in the stablecoin value chain and their distinct role to answer the question: In this growing financial architecture, who enables it, who pays, and how does value flow across participants in the value chain?.

We’re excited to support Nerite as they launch their latest tBTC yield product on Arbitrum, powered by Enzyme Onyx. The Arbitrum native lending protocol chose Onyx as their turnkey tech stack to seamlessly expand the utility of Threshold Network's tBTC. The strategy borrows Nerite's native stablecoin USND against tBTC collateral and deploys it within Nerite and other decentralized protocols, benefiting from Onyx’s flexible infrastructure that removes protocol and network limitations. This new type of financial instrument gives investors a seamless way to generate yield on their BTC holdings, while reducing complexity and preserving security, transparency, and operational flexibility.

No bridges. No wrapped assets. Kain Warwick's building a perps DEX that lives fully on Ethereum mainnet 🔥 Here’s how it works 👇

📊 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐮𝐦'𝐬 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Rollups now process 230 transactions per second compared to Ethereum's 20 TPS, a 𝟭𝟮.𝟯𝘅 scaling factor. But here's the prize: while users enjoy cheaper transactions, centralized sequencers are capturing both fees and MEV opportunities through opaque pricing models. The promise of decentralization may be giving way to new forms of market power, and the barriers to running nodes are rising fast. Dario Thürkauf's (Universität Basel) latest article in our #knowledgecenter reveals the trade-offs shaping Ethereum's Layer 2 future and the systemic risks most people aren't talking about.

We’ve made a strategic investment in the owner of Liquidity.io, a regulated Ethereum-based trading platform that bridges traditional finance with on-chain systems, offering secure digital assets backed by real-world value and full investor protection.   For most investors, these types of private investments have always been out of reach. This partnership seeks to change that by combining SEC-licensed exchange infrastructure with Ethereum Layer 2 technology to offer a compliant, transparent marketplace where institutional and individual investors can buy and sell tokenized versions of real-world assets (RWA).   Our exclusive ability to list Ethereum Layer 2 tokens is expected to expand investor access to high-quality, yield-generating assets. We believe this is a key advantage as we build out our RWA tokenization strategy and is a major step toward making Ethereum’s growth tangible in the real economy.   Through our partnership with Liquidity.io, we are creating the foundation for a next-generation asset manager that seeks to connect compliant real-world assets with Ethereum’s global network.   Read the full announcement to learn how we’re investing in that future: https://lnkd.in/epJUJZEA

What if blockchains could settle like clearinghouses, without needing one? Avalanche redefines cross-chain interoperability by doing something no bridge, attestation network, or light client can do natively: authenticated messaging backed by a global validator registry. When a transaction occurs on one Avalanche chain, it’s signed by a 2/3 validator majority: forming a cryptographic message that any other Avalanche chain can instantly verify using the shared validator registry. No external systems, third parties or waiting required. Think of it like this: instead of post-trade messaging between siloed systems, every chain has pre-cleared access to every other chain’s trust layer. The result is faster, cheaper, and more secure asset movement: without the operational drag. For capital markets, this is foundational... cross-chain flows, tokenized asset issuance, collateral mobility all become natively executable. Avalanche is the institutional-grade protocol for inter-chain trust: bringing execution certainty to multi-chain capital markets.

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission has updated guidance to classify stablecoins, wrapped tokens, tokenized securities and digital asset wallets as financial products. Companies offering these products must obtain a local financial services license. ASIC has granted sectorwide no-action relief through June 30, 2026, allowing businesses time to comply.
