The US-Mexico remittance corridor moves tens of billions of dollars a year, and about 15% of it already runs through Bitso. Anchorage Digital now wants to sit under both sides of that flow, after expanding its custody and listing partnership with Bitso.

The federally chartered crypto bank now custodies MXNB, Bitso's Mexican peso stablecoin, across Arbitrum, Base, Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche and Arc. In return, Bitso listed USDPT and USAT, the dollar stablecoins from Western Union and Tether that Anchorage issues and custodies. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Bitso clients can now move along the full dollar-peso corridor onchain, with a regulated US bank holding both legs.

The deal adds to a wider race to plug stablecoins into Latin American payments, following Circle's recent USDC settlement pilot in Colombia. Much of the corridor still relies on wires, correspondent banks and cash-pickup networks.

Everything that moved crypto today, in one card.

Robinhood Stock Tokens keep trading onchain over weekends, but their minting and redemption window closes, which can push prices away from the underlying shares. Ondo Stocks are now live on Robinhood Chain to offer a second route for liquidity during that gap.

Of the 15 tokens launched, 11 have Uniswap v4 StablePair pools that swap them directly against Robinhood Stock Tokens on the same stocks, including NVIDIA, SpaceX, Tesla, Strategy, Circle and the SPY and QQQ ETFs. The other four (HOOD, FXI, BitMine and a copper fund) have no Robinhood counterpart yet.

Ondo Stocks can be bridged to Ethereum or BNB Chain and minted or redeemed 24/7, so traders can buy discounted Robinhood tokens, swap them into Ondo Stocks and redeem even on weekends. StablePair uses dynamic LP fees so liquidity providers capture more of that arbitrage.

Ondo Stocks has grown to $1.3B in TVL and over 450,000 holders since launching in September 2025.

Latin American banks are getting a new way to test stablecoins without replacing the rails they already run. Circle and payments-technology firm ACI Worldwide announced a collaboration to fold USDC settlement into existing banking infrastructure across the region.

The first pilot targets Colombia, where ACI built the central infrastructure behind Bre-B, the country's interoperable instant-payments network. The setup pairs Circle's USDC with ACI Connetic, a cloud-based payments orchestration platform, so that USDC can settle alongside traditional account-to-account transfers.

The pilot is designed as technology-agnostic: it starts with USDC, but ACI's platform is built to support other payment networks and digital-asset providers over time.

The deal extends Circle's push into emerging markets after an earlier Latin American foothold through Mercado Pago. Colombia combines high cross-border remittance volumes with a population used to dollar-denominated savings as an inflation hedge.

Non-expiring perpetual contracts have long been an offshore product, but US traders now get a CFTC-regulated version: OG.com and Crypto.com rolled out Crypto Perpetuals for eligible users in the Crypto.com App and on Crypto.com Exchange.

Leverage is capped at 5x, with long and short positions, isolated margin, and take-profit and stop-loss orders.

OG.com runs the CFTC-registered exchange, clearinghouse and futures commission merchant, while Crypto.com recently registered with the National Futures Association as an Introducing Broker to distribute the product to retail and institutional users.

The launch puts perpetuals next to spot, prediction markets and rewards inside one app, and adds to the growing list of US venues offering onshore perps.

The STABLE-USD spot order book is now live on Coinbase in cancel-only launch mode, the first phase of a new listing before matching begins.

STABLE is the native token of Stable, a Layer 1 blockchain built around USDT payments. On Stable, users pay network fees in USDT instead of a separate gas token.

In cancel-only mode, traders can place and cancel orders, but nothing is matched until Coinbase moves the book to full trading.

The listing gives the payments-focused chain access to one of the largest US-regulated spot venues, as stablecoin infrastructure projects compete for distribution.

The attack did not touch exchange servers at all. SlowMist traced malicious code injected into Udesk customer support scripts, a third-party chat widget that sites embed on their pages, which quietly loads a second payload from the lookalike domain udeskqlobal.com.

Once on a page, the script collects cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage and data submitted through login and other forms, which could let attackers hijack sessions or take over accounts.

On deposit pages of three exchanges (mgbx.com, bikingex and bitxex.io), the script swaps displayed deposit addresses for BTC, EVM, TRON, Solana, LTC and DOGE and rewrites the clipboard, sending deposits to attacker wallets.

SlowMist advises affected sites to stop serving the compromised script, revoke exposed sessions and rotate credentials. Users are urged to verify deposit addresses through a trusted channel before sending funds.

Akash is voting to leave Cosmos for Solana: 97.9% yes so far, the vote closes Nov 2. ZetaChain voted for the same move in September. Sei went EVM-only, Noble left for its own EVM chain, and Nillion moved to Ethereum.

The reasons repeat: a sovereign chain is costly to run and secure, and liquidity sits on Solana and Ethereum.

On Oct 7, Osmosis flagged 41 Cosmos chains as dead in one sweep. ATOM is down 96% from its 2021 high, and TVL across ~44 Cosmos chains fell 73% in a year.

Not everyone is leaving: dYdX, Celestia, Injective and Babylon still build on Cosmos, and Cosmos Labs is pivoting to enterprise tokenization.

European retail customers holding Tether's USDT on Coinbase have three days left to act: the exchange set an October 30 cutoff for 14 MiCA-restricted assets. Remaining balances will be converted into USDC or another supported asset at market rates, unless users withdraw them to an external wallet first.

The list covers USDT, PayPal's PYUSD, World Liberty Financial's USD1, DAI, PAX, GUSD, GYEN, BUST, UST, RAI, PAXG, MUSD, USDS and TGBP. Purchases, sales and conversions of these tokens are already restricted. Coinbase cites MiCA: the transitional period for stablecoin issuers expired on July 1, 2026, without an extension.

Deposits of these assets sent after October 30 will not be credited and are excluded from the conversion; recovery is not guaranteed and costs 5% above $100.

The cutoff comes well ahead of ESMA's outer deadline of January 8, 2027, and channels European balances toward Circle's USDC. Coinbase has not disclosed the value of affected holdings, and conversions completed under the deadline will not be reversed if issuers later gain authorization.

Suppliers often wait 30, 60 or 90 days to get paid for goods they have already delivered. Ripple and BNY, the world's largest custodian bank, are exploring how to finance approved invoices on the XRP Ledger, moving part of supply-chain finance onto a public blockchain.

BNY's Digital Asset Custody platform now supports XRP and RLUSD, letting eligible institutional clients hold and transfer both assets. The bank is already the primary reserve custodian for RLUSD. The two companies are also studying direct RLUSD minting and redemption for BNY clients, with no launch date set.

In a parallel deal, working-capital platform C2FO plans to settle invoice financing in RLUSD on XRPL through its new Instant Pay service, cutting settlement from days to seconds. Invoice terms and due dates stay unchanged, and the tokenized trade finance pieces remain under development.

C2FO's Early Pay programs have facilitated more than $250 billion in working capital to date, none of it yet settled on XRPL.
