Temple is the #1 app on Canton by revenue and now expanding its suite ahead of plans to list regulated traditional market instruments in the second half of 2026, positioning itself as the first non-custodial trading platforms to leverage Canton's privacy.

This funding, backed by SBI Holdings, follows earlier seed funding led by Paper Ventures, which backed Temple's early development as the premier trading venue on Canton.

To support the expansion, Temple recently launched Lightspeed — a performance upgrade delivering sub-second matching and support for 100,000 orders per second, making it one of the fastest trading engines on Canton's Global Synchronizer.

Dropee is building an AI-powered mini-app ecosystem inside Telegram, centered on Dropee Create – a no-code platform to generate, launch, and monetize apps directly in Telegram. It combines AI app creation with built-in distribution across Telegram’s user network.

Dropee already operates at scale pre-TGE, reporting 13M+ users, 4M monthly active users, and $2.5M+ in ecosystem revenue. The project has launched multiple live products, while Dropee Create has over 17k users on its waitlist ahead of release.

Unlike traditional AI app builders that compete for external traffic, Dropee apps launch natively within Telegram’s ecosystem. This removes reliance on app stores and external acquisition channels, giving creators direct access to Telegram’s social and viral mechanics from day one.

The broader DROPEE thesis ties into the AI + revenue narrative outperforming across public and private markets. Some compare the category expansion to platforms like Lovable, which recently reached a multi-billion valuation after rapid adoption in AI applications.

DROPEE trading starts today at 3:00 PM UTC, backed by $5.25M in funding. This board compares potential FDV scenarios using benchmarks from other AI/Dev. Tools projects like GameBuild, PlaysOut, and Fabric Protocol.

What's New This Week:

BTC ETFs: -$1.25B

ETH ETFs: -$216M

Bitcoin ETFs accounted for the bulk of crypto ETF withdrawals this week, while Ethereum products also finished in negative territory. Combined outflows exceeded $1.4B across the recent period, marking one of the weakest stretches for major crypto ETFs in recent months. 

Despite pressure on BTC and ETH products, investors continued allocating capital to Solana, Hyperliquid, and XRP ETFs, which remained among the few funds posting positive net flows.

WorkOS introduced  auth md, an open protocol that standardizes how AI agents register for online services. The specification launches with support from Cloudflare and Firecrawl as early adopters. 

Instead of relying on browser automation, CAPTCHAs, or human-driven signup flows, applications can expose registration requirements, permissions, and authentication endpoints through a simple auth md file.

Two registration flows are supported: agent verified, where the agent’s identity provider vouches for the user with no human interaction, and user claimed, where the agent triggers an OTP the user confirms manually.

The protocol is open and not tied to WorkOS infrastructure. It builds on existing OAuth standards and can be implemented by any app or agent provider. WorkOS AuthKit integration is available via early access.
