Schwab Crypto began rolling out in May 2026 and reached all eligible retail clients in October. The brokerage has now opened trading in Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink on the platform, next to bitcoin and ethereum.

Clients can view and trade the five assets side by side with traditional investments across Schwab.com, Schwab Mobile and thinkorswim. Each trade is priced at 75 basis points of its dollar value.

Schwab Crypto now supports 5 assets: BTC, ETH, SOL, AVAX and LINK, with more cryptocurrencies planned over time.

The accounts are offered by Charles Schwab Premier Bank and are available in all U.S. states except New York and Louisiana, with no access in U.S. territories or abroad.

PNC Bank is extending its crypto tie-up with Coinbase from trading into payments. Under a new pilot with the exchange, eligible corporate and institutional clients can receive payments in Circle's USDC, which are then automatically converted into US dollars.

The companies position the service as a way to give businesses quicker access to funds and speed up cross-border transactions, since stablecoins can be sent and received almost instantly. It will initially be offered on a limited basis.

The partnership dates back to last year, when PNC began offering crypto trading to its customers through Coinbase's institutional crypto-as-a-service platform. The Pittsburgh-based bank also said it would provide banking services to Coinbase.

PNC frames the rollout as a test-and-learn phase to see which stablecoin features actually benefit its clients.

Telegram's native Gram Wallet, which began rolling out to a select group of users on August 31, is picking up pace. Over 700K self-custodial wallets were created on the platform in the last 48 hours alone.

More than 700,000 new self-custodial wallets appeared on Telegram in just two days.

The growth is driven by the wallet's design: a wallet activates automatically the moment its owner receives Grams, so every transfer to a new user can onboard another holder. The wallet is powered by a smart contract approved by validators, which allows future upgrades without migrations.

With a user base of over one billion, Telegram is one of the largest distribution channels for non-custodial crypto. The pace of activations shows how quickly peer-to-peer transfers can spread wallet adoption inside a messenger.

The largest corporate ETH treasury kept its weekly buying streak going: Bitmine added 9,587 ETH over the past week, bringing its stack to 6,070,092 ETH as of November 8. The company has bought ETH every week since launching its treasury strategy on June 30, 2025.

Bitmine now holds 4.97% of the 122.2M ETH supply, just short of its 5% target, with 5,227,037 ETH (about $11.7B) already staked.

Total crypto, cash and other holdings stand at $14.3B, including 216 BTC, $475M in cash and marketable securities, and stakes in Beast Industries ($180M) and Eightco ($75M). Part of the staked ETH runs on MAVAN, the company's own institutional staking platform launched earlier in 2026.

At 122.2M ETH in supply, the 5% mark sits near 6.11M ETH, leaving Bitmine roughly 40,000 ETH short of the goal it has pursued for 15 months.

Users in France, Spain, Italy and Poland say they got emails: deposits are off and accounts close on Dec 31. Binance confirmed the closures but has not published a country list.

From Nov 29, leftover balances pay 0.025% a month, min 10 USDC. Under $40,000 that's a flat 10 USDC, so on $1,000 it's 1% a month.

All four had a local Binance registration. It lapsed on Jul 1 when the MiCA transition ended, and Binance holds no MiCA licence in any of the 30 EEA countries.

Elsewhere in the EU, an offshore entity serves clients, and Binance tells them no action is needed. Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, Bybit and KuCoin hold MiCA licences.

Companies that want AI agents to work with internal records usually have to hand over raw data. Space and Time, the Microsoft-backed data network behind the SXT token, launched Space and Time Enterprise to prove that calculations on private data are correct without exposing the records.

The platform runs on Proof of SQL, the team's technology for proving database queries were computed correctly. Businesses can deploy it on their own servers without running a blockchain, buying special hardware or using an outside prover. Launch partners include Maple Finance, Indomobil, Trenez and The Data Foundation.

With GPU acceleration, supported queries over millions of rows can be run and proven in under a second.

The proofs confirm how data was processed, not whether the underlying records were accurate. SXT Chain comes into play when enterprise apps need to connect to onchain markets, with those workloads paid through Space and Time.

Kinetiq, the liquid staking protocol that holds the majority of HyperEVM TVL, has switched on the Elysium mainnet. The network is pitched as a faster execution layer next to HyperCore, addressing HyperEVM's dual-block design and limited throughput.

Elysium uses HYPE as its gas token and targets spot trading, PropAMMs and native token launches. A customized L1Read precompile gives apps a top-of-block HyperCore oracle, and tokens can move from an Elysium AMM to a HyperCore orderbook and a HIP-3 perp listing inside one stack.

Sequencer fees are split 25% to builders, 25% to the Kinetiq treasury and 50% to open-market KNTQ buybacks, with all bought KNTQ burned.

The launch lands as Hyperliquid's spot share against Binance sits near a 15-month low. Kinetiq has not yet published full technical specs or named its launch partners.

The New York Stock Exchange affiliate building a digital ATS for tokenized equities has chosen its core ledger: Avalanche will provide the clearing and settlement technology to the platform's clearing firm.

Subject to regulatory approval, the platform is designed for 24/7 trading, clearing and onchain settlement for its subscribers. NYSE says it will support equities listed on a range of blockchains, while Avalanche runs the permissioned ledger that records and settles trades.

Avalanche moves from single tokenized products to market infrastructure: the ledger behind a venue affiliated with the largest US stock exchange.

The launch date has not been disclosed, and the 24/7 model still depends on approvals from US regulators.

The largest corporate bitcoin holder kept its weekly buying going between November 2 and November 8, as its latest Form 8-K filing shows. The purchase was funded entirely with net proceeds from MSTR common stock sold through its at-the-market program.

Strategy paid an average of $79,012 per coin, above its overall average cost of $75,456. Its total bitcoin stack was acquired for about $64.16B.

Bitcoin got the smaller share of the money: of $283.8M raised from MSTR sales, $188.3M went to buying back STRC preferred stock and only $81.9M to BTC.

The company also spent $21.1M from its USD Reserve on preferred dividends during the week. The reserve stood at $4.77B as of November 8, with $146.2M held as USD Cash.

Formation Securities has notified the SEC it intends to operate a tokenized securities venue on Solana under the regulator's Innovation Exemption. The firm licenses its trading technology from Orca, the Solana AMM that has processed over $550 billion in trades since 2021.

Trading is expected to start in early 2027 with three tokenized stocks: Exodus Movement (EXOD), Forward Industries (FWDI) and Galaxy Digital (GLXY). Superstate and Securitize will supply the tokenized shares, which carry the same voting and dividend rights as traditional stock.

Shares will trade 24/7 against stablecoins through permissioned AMM pools, with atomic onchain settlement.

The venue builds on Project Open, an April 2025 proposal by Orca, Superstate and the Solana Policy Institute to the SEC's Crypto Task Force. Distribution partners include Alpaca, Anchorage Digital, BitGo, Fireblocks, Jito's JTX, Solflare and Squads.
