Doppler Finance detailed how its XDP token will be distributed ahead of the token generation event, confirming a fixed supply of 10 billion XDP for its infrastructure for productive digital capital and tokenized assets on the XRP ecosystem.

Allocation splits into 43% Ecosystem & Incentives, 18% Team, 16% Investors, 14% Treasury, 4% Liquidity, 4% Partners and 1% Genesis Airdrop, with the airdrop fully unlocked at TGE while team and investor tranches sit under extended vesting. On fundamentals, Doppler holds roughly $127M in TVL, most of it on the XRP Ledger, about $213K in 30-day fees and $5.5M in private funding. XDP anchors four roles: staking for vault access and priority products, governance over parameters, treasury and incentives, a planned Safety Module for protocol coverage, and ecosystem growth campaigns.

With more than half of supply steered toward ecosystem, treasury and community, and only 1% seeded to early users, Doppler is front-loading long-term growth over a large day-one unlock.

Aave has begun rolling out early access to its iOS mobile app, starting August 26 with a limited first batch of Ghost Passes, invites that let a holder skip the waitlist entirely and give a friend instant access to the app.

Users can open the Aave App and check the activity section to see how many Ghost Passes they hold, with recipients also notified by email or push. The first batch went to users onboarded through 1:1 interviews, early waitlist joiners, and the accounts that referred the most friends. Later batches roll out on a rolling basis to users with high referral rates and those active in support of the app on X, Instagram, and LinkedIn, where Aave is also running giveaways.

Aave will widen access in the next weeks as onboarding continues. For now, staying active on socials and asking friends whether they already hold a pass are the quickest routes onto the app.

Solana is advancing two governance proposals, SIMD-550 & SIMD-553, that could significantly reduce SOL issuance and increase network-wide burns.

SIMD-550 would double the annual disinflation rate from 15% to 30%, bringing Solana to its 1.5% terminal inflation rate by H1 2029 instead of around 2032.

SIMD-553 introduces a burn fee based on requested compute units for financial activity. Based on current network usage, daily SOL burns could jump from roughly 600–800 SOL to 7,500–9,000 SOL.

Together, the proposals could reduce SOL issuance by an estimated $1.4B–$1.5B over six years, according to 21Shares.

The final impact will depend on the SIMD-550 governance vote and the validator fee design for SIMD-553.

Major banks that once pushed back against stablecoins are now considering launching their own stablecoins, as crypto companies and major nonbanks accelerate the shift toward blockchain-based payments.

More than a dozen major banks, including Bank of America and Wells Fargo, are working on a global stablecoin initiative for commercial use, while JPMorgan is also evaluating a potential stablecoin alongside its existing JPM Coin.

Banks have traditionally favored tokenized deposits because they represent existing bank deposits onchain and fit more easily into the current regulatory framework. Stablecoins, meanwhile, can move across public blockchains such as Ethereum and Solana.

The shift reflects growing concerns that stablecoins could eventually pull deposits and payment activity away from traditional banks, especially as firms like Visa, BlackRock and Google expand into the sector.

The stablecoin race is increasingly becoming a competition between crypto-native issuers and traditional financial institutions, with banks now moving from resistance to participation.

BNB Chain has officially joined Mastercard’s Crypto Partner Program, expanding the blockchain network’s role in Mastercard’s push to bring digital assets into global payments.

Mastercard’s program now includes 100+ partners across crypto and traditional finance, targeting use cases such as cross-border payments, B2B transfers, payouts and settlement.

BNB Chain joins networks including Solana, Polygon and Tron, as Mastercard increasingly focuses on high-throughput, low-cost infrastructure for stablecoin and on-chain payments.

The move comes as Mastercard also advances its stablecoin strategy through the planned $1.8B acquisition of BVNK, strengthening its infrastructure for stablecoin settlement, on/off-ramps and compliance.

Former X product chief and current advisor Nikita Bier confirmed that direct crypto buy and sell buttons are coming to X, aiming to let users trade without leaving the platform.

X’s existing Cashtags feature already embeds Solana and Ethereum price charts into posts, while the upcoming trading buttons could make crypto purchases and sales directly accessible from the app.

Bier also attributed the recent market rally to U.S. Treasury moves rather than X product changes and rejected claims that the platform is suppressing crypto-related voices.

The rollout has sparked excitement over easier crypto onboarding, while users are questioning the launch timeline, regulatory framework and which assets beyond ETH and SOL could be supported.

POSCO International tokenized real trade receivables on Avalanche, turning live invoices from South Korea's largest trading firm into onchain digital assets through its US arm.

Trade-finance platform Olea, backed by Standard Chartered's venture arm SC Ventures, bought the receivables with actual capital, meaning these were live assets rather than a test. Asset-backed finance firm Intain used AI to reconcile invoices, purchase orders, credit notes and shipping documents, then verified and recorded the receivables on its Avalanche Layer-1. A shared ledger gives every party one record of ownership and status, cutting paperwork and speeding access to financing.

The deal follows a separate July proof-of-concept with LG CNS on Injective, underscoring POSCO's broader push to move real-world trade finance onchain.
