A full list of Major Upcoming Events, to be updated

Seven Coinbase tokenized US technology stocks are now live on Aave V4 on Base, allowing eligible non-US users to deposit AAPLc, AMZNc, GOOGLc, METAc, MSFTc, NVDAc and TSLAc as collateral to borrow USDC.

The new market supports 7 tokenized stocks, with each asset carrying its own collateral factor. Chainlink provides the onchain pricing through its tokenized equity feeds, while the Aave market operates 24/7.

Users can post any combination of the seven tokenized stocks as collateral, while the equities themselves cannot currently be borrowed.

Aave said more Coinbase Tokenized Stocks and GHO as a borrowable asset are expected to be added over time, subject to governance and risk review.

Magic Eden said legacy EVM approvals left more than $5.7M worth of NFTs exposed to an exploit in Limit Break’s Payment Processor V2, despite the marketplace no longer using the processor since October 2024.

A whitehat operation rescued 23,155 NFTs worth over $5.7M, while 660 WETH was also exposed but could not be recovered. The affected NFTs were listed on Magic Eden’s EVM marketplace between roughly February and October 2024.

The vulnerability was used to steal 10 Meebits, 50 Otherdeeds, 10 World of Women NFTs and 235 Desperate ApeWives. Magic Eden said no live listings were impacted and advised affected users to revoke Payment Processor V2 approvals on Ethereum, Polygon and Base before reclaiming rescued NFTs.

CoinMarketCap acquired CoinGlass, the derivatives data platform traders use to track open interest, funding rates, liquidations and options across major exchanges. The deal has closed, and financial terms were not disclosed.

CoinGlass keeps its name and runs as an independent business: its site, app, free tools, API and pricing stay the same for existing users. Founded in 2019, it covers 28 exchanges and 2,500+ instruments, including long/short ratios and ETF flows, and serves over 5M monthly users and 10,000 API customers. CoinMarketCap CEO Rush said CoinGlass "is where most people go to see" how derivatives traders are positioned, and that the goal is to make that view available to many more people.

For CoinMarketCap's 115M monthly users, that means seeing leverage, liquidation clusters and funding next to the prices they already check. CoinMarketCap itself has been owned by Binance since 2020.

Ethena partnered with Binance as the first venue for extending the USDe basis trade into equity perpetuals, with allocations starting today.

The structure mirrors what Ethena has run on crypto since launch. Binance bStocks, tokenized stocks issued by BTech Holdings that can be converted into the underlying shares on Binance, serve as spot collateral, hedged with Binance USDT-denominated equity perpetuals to keep the position delta-neutral. Binance also gives eligible delta-neutral accounts, including Ethena's, lower auto-deleveraging (ADL) priority, an extra layer of protection for USDe holders. Founder Guy Young called it "the most significant expansion of USDe's funding mechanism since we started."

Ethena says the move grows USDe's addressable collateral from $2.5T in crypto to over $150T in real-world assets. Binance equity perps already hold about $2.9B in open interest, and Ethena expects the opportunity to far exceed the $15B+ of crypto perps it captured last cycle.

KelpDAO sued LayerZero and Bryan Pellegrino in the Supreme Court of British Columbia over the April exploit that drained 116,500 rsETH (about $292M) through its LayerZero bridge.

Kelp says the hack was a direct result of LayerZero's failures: not disclosing weaknesses and risks in its own technology, and not stopping attackers from infiltrating LayerZero's own security infrastructure. It also says that while LayerZero and Pellegrino publicly blamed Kelp for months, LayerZero had reviewed and endorsed Kelp's bridge deployment and configuration in writing. The claim was filed by Evercrest Technologies, the company behind Kelp, and names the LayerZero co-founder personally. Pellegrino replied on X that the claim "continues to be meritless" and that he will "meet them in Vancouver."

LayerZero's position hasn't changed since April: it tied the attack to North Korea's Lazarus Group, which poisoned the RPC nodes feeding its verifier, and says the exploit only worked because Kelp ran a 1-of-1 verifier setup against its advice. Kelp has since moved rsETH's bridge to Chainlink CCIP.

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen confirmed a hot wallet hack that drained about $351.6 million from the exchange on September 24, after its security systems flagged unauthorized transfers at 18:31 UTC.

Bitget says the breach hit only part of the hot and warm layers of its three-tier wallet setup, while cold wallets remain fully secure. Withdrawals are temporarily suspended pending a security review, but deposits and trading keep running, and account balances are unaffected. The full loss falls within the coverage of Bitget's User Protection Fund, which currently holds over $464 million. The attacker addresses have been flagged and reported, and law enforcement and onchain security firms are engaged. Before the confirmation, onchain trackers had spotted more than $170 million leaving Bitget wallets to an unidentified address.

Bitget will post hourly updates and publish a full incident report with root cause analysis and fixes within 24 hours, and says it will not speculate on the attack vector until the investigation is complete.

Stocks kept moving onchain: NYSE teamed up with Blockchain com, Ondo packed BlackRock portfolios into tokens, Coinbase let AI agents buy equities. Meanwhile BitMEX shut down after 11 years.

Five that actually mattered:

— Blockchain.com signs NYSE deal for tokenized stocks

— Ondo launches BlackRock-model portfolios of tokenized iShares

— Coinbase lets AI agents trade US stocks and ETFs

— Binance lists Hyperliquid (HYPE) on spot

— Bybit launches a Polymarket pre-IPO perp

Tempo launched Mercator, a tool router that lets AI agents discover, rank, pay for and execute paid tools across multi-step workflows through one interface, instead of wiring in every tool and API key ahead of time.

An agent describes what it needs in plain language, and Mercator searches a catalog of services that accept Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) and x402 payments, ranks them by fit, reliability and cost, then runs the workflow with steps that can execute in parallel and recover from failures. It is paid for with MACH, a USD credit native to Tempo that can be bought with Apple Pay, with direct USDC.e payments on Tempo also supported. Agents can rate completed jobs, and eligible reviews earn MACH rewards.

Tempo pitches Mercator as a new "effort" setting next to model choice and reasoning level: in its tests, adding Mercator lifted a cheaper model by 3.5 points across four benchmark suites, bringing it within 2.3 points of a larger model.
