    Jupiter rolls out four products, including token Baskets and yield Vaults

    Jupiter rolls out four products, including token Baskets and yield Vaults

    Solana's largest trading platform is moving beyond swaps: Jupiter announced a new mission and four releases covering discovering, owning, earning on and managing onchain assets, all shipping this week ahead of Solana Breakpoint on November 15.


    Baskets let users buy a bundle of tokens with a single SOL or USDC deposit, following market-cap weights or fixed targets with automatic rebalancing routed through Jupiter. Vaults is a hub for yield strategies, from stablecoin lending to RWA-backed products, run by independent curators rather than Jupiter itself. It opens on November 11 as a private beta for 19,000+ waitlisted users and eligible staked JUP holders. Jupiter warns Vaults strategies can lose funds and some are unavailable in the US.


    Portfolio V3 is live now with quick actions to trade, open perps, make predictions or lend, plus liquidation alerts and cross-chain transfers. Pulse and rebuilt token pages add research tools, including market data for tokenized stocks and ETFs.



    Jupiter has routed more than $1.3 trillion in cumulative aggregator volume, and its lending market has passed $1 billion in active loans.

    Fomo lets X users trade any Solana token by tapping a cashtag

    Fomo lets X users trade any Solana token by tapping a cashtag

    Social trading app Fomo has turned X cashtags into a trading entry point: tapping a token's cashtag in a post now routes the user to buy or sell it on Fomo.



    The integration covers every token on Solana, not a curated list.


    The move builds on X's partner-based approach to in-feed trading, where cashtags link out to third-party apps. For Fomo, it puts a trade button next to the conversations where memecoins and new Solana tokens are discussed first, shortening the path from a post to a position.

    Alta raises $47.5M Series A led by Index Ventures for bank-focused L1

    Alta raises $47.5M Series A led by Index Ventures for bank-focused L1

    Alta, a layer-1 blockchain built for banks and large companies, has closed a new funding round led by Index Ventures. The startup, which recently rebranded from Metal, ships a plug-and-play compliance layer that checks transactions against rules in any jurisdiction.



    The $47.5M Series A follows a $32.5M seed backed mainly by Airwallex, bringing total funding to $80M. GV, Blackbird Ventures, Square Peg and Capital49 also joined the round, at an undisclosed valuation.


    Alta is led by CEO Loong Wang alongside former Meta executive Catherine Porter, and runs 25 people across San Francisco and Melbourne. Its features include privacy tools and a block on unsolicited transfers to wallet addresses.


    Airwallex acts as a distribution channel, steering its payments customers to the chain as rivals such as Stripe build out their own crypto rails with Tempo.

    Visa adds Monad to its stablecoin settlement program for card partners

    Visa adds Monad to its stablecoin settlement program for card partners

    Card issuers and acquirers working with Visa can now settle their Visa obligations in stablecoins over Monad. The Layer 1 joins the list of blockchains supported by the payment giant's stablecoin settlement program.


    The program sits behind the consumer card transaction: Visa still calculates what each partner owes, while participating institutions can choose to move the settlement itself on-chain instead of through traditional bank rails.



    The Monad Foundation also plans a privacy feature in the coming months that will keep settlement details private for institutions, while still giving auditors and regulators access.


    For Monad, the integration opens a path from crypto-native activity into institutional card payment flows run by one of the largest payment networks.

    Which Lenders Actually Make Money on Deposits

    Which Lenders Actually Make Money on Deposits

    Most big lenders keep $1.5 to $4 a year from every $1,000 deposited. Aave holds $29.7B and kept $5.2M in 30 days, about $2 per $1,000. Maple and Dolomite keep twice that, around $4.


    Morpho is the second biggest lender with $16.9B. Its borrowers paid $27.7M in 30 days and the protocol kept $0: its fee switch is still off.


    SparkLend shows only $1 per $1,000, but most of its stablecoin deposits come from Spark itself, so that interest goes back to Spark and Sky anyway.


    Aave holds 38% of the top 15's deposits and takes about half of their revenue.

    $3.8B in Crowdloans. Only 1 of 6 Winners Still Standing

    $3.8B in Crowdloans. Only 1 of 6 Winners Still Standing

    Acala, winner of Polkadot's first parachain auction, proposes to halt its chain on February 10. Its reason: the liquidity it needed never arrived.


    Six projects won slots in 2021. Their crowdloans raised 106.8M DOT, about $3.8B at the time.


    Moonbeam moved to Base, Parallel was hacked and wiped, Clover became Lucent, Efinity left for Enjin. That leaves Astar, with TVL down 400x from its peak.


    Of 55 parachains, 17 are still running. 12 left for other chains, 10 shut down, 10 just stopped producing blocks and 6 never launched.

    Initia halts its L1 after a $615K escrow exploit via fake IBC transfers

    Initia halts its L1 after a $615K escrow exploit via fake IBC transfers

    Validators paused the network at 06:18 UTC on November 10 after unauthorized transfers hit the Initia L1 escrow accounts that hold assets bridged to several rollups.


    The attacker used compromised rollup infrastructure keys to fabricate IBC transfers out of those escrows. Preliminary figures show about $605,000 in USDC left Initia through Noble, plus roughly $10,000 in other tokens, before the halt.



    Most of the remaining assets moved out of the escrow accounts are still on the halted L1.


    Initia is working with security teams, validators and exchanges to determine the full scope and has warned users to stay cautious of unofficial links and claims while the chain is down.

    Binance warns iOS flaw worse_query exposes wallet seed phrases

    Binance warns iOS flaw worse_query exposes wallet seed phrases

    Mobile wallet users on iPhone face a system-level risk, Binance flagged in a security alert on November 10. The vulnerability, dubbed worse_query, affects iOS 26.7.1, 27.0.1 and 27.2.


    The flaw lets a malicious app read local files belonging to other apps on the same device. That puts seed phrases, private keys and login credentials at risk across the whole ecosystem, not only for Binance users.



    Binance advises deleting apps from untrusted sources (sideloaded or manually signed IPAs) and updating iOS and all apps to the latest official versions.


    Users who suspect a breach are told to move funds to a new wallet created on a clean device and reset all active login sessions.

    Walt launches standalone app with 200+ cryptocurrencies outside Telegram

    Walt launches standalone app with 200+ cryptocurrencies outside Telegram

    After nearly five years inside the messenger as Wallet in Telegram, the platform rebranded as Walt on September 28 and has now shipped a standalone trading app for iOS and Android.


    The app offers more than 200 cryptocurrencies, over 100 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs, yield products on stablecoins, Gram, SOL, ETH and TRX, plus perpetual futures on crypto, metals and energy. Existing users sign in with their Telegram account, while new users can register with Telegram, Google or Apple. The Telegram version stays live on the same account.



    Walt says its platform is used by tens of millions of people, and the move gives it a distribution channel that no longer depends on the messenger.


    The launch follows AI-assisted perpetuals trading added on October 20 and puts Walt in direct competition with standalone exchange apps rather than other in-chat wallets.
