The digital credit protocol Apyx announced on September 23 that the TGE of the governance token APYX has been postponed to after the originally scheduled date of October 13, 2026, when rewards were planned to be distributed to Season 1 and Season 2 participants. The reasons for the delay are twofold: the core reserve asset STRC has experienced the deepest and longest drawdown in its brief history, the protocol has not been interrupted, and the Chainlink on-chain NAV, proof cadence, minting, and redemption are still operating under existing terms, but the volatility of digital credit exceeds the range shown by its short history, requiring more time to address; multiple institutions have proactively reached out, hoping to use their infrastructure to bring their assets on-chain.The additional time will be used to strengthen the core protocol and to build a broader RWA platform V1 before the TGE. Digital credit remains the reserve anchor and source of yield for apyUSD, with custody, proof, on-chain NAV, redemption, and compliance frameworks being opened to other issuers and asset types. Apyx stated that the zero-fee, instant redemption, government bond-backed aptUSD has been launched, making it the first asset in the ecosystem not derived from digital credit. The Pips plan will continue, and Season 2 will no longer end on the originally scheduled date of October 11; the accumulation under the existing multiplier will remain uninterrupted, and positions, commitments, Curve and Pendle positions, and lending positions will continue to score without any action required.Due to the extended accumulation period, the airdrop allocation for Season 2 has increased from 6% of the total supply to 9%. The new end date will be confirmed along with the new TGE date, and it will not end without prior notice. The allocations for Season 1 and Season 2 will still be fully unlocked at the TGE.

The stablecoin apxUSD, issued by the Apyx protocol and primarily collateralized by Strategy preferred stock STRC, briefly depegged during the time Bitcoin fell below $63,000, dropping to a low of $0.93. Apyx stated that this fluctuation was not a vulnerability but rather an expected performance of the preferred stock collateralized stablecoin. Since the reserve assets of apxUSD are mainly composed of STRC preferred stock with a face value of $100, when STRC falls below its face value in the secondary market, the market value of the reserve assets will decrease, leading to price fluctuations in the stablecoin.The protocol claims that its stability mechanism includes over-collateralization, a dividend adjustment mechanism, and cash and short-term U.S. Treasury reserves as a buffer. Data shows that since last August, STRC has fallen below its face value four times, but has ultimately returned to $100 each time. In response to market concerns about a chain liquidation in the Morpho lending market, Apyx stated that its core apyUSD/apxUSD market primarily relies on the accumulation of dividend income rather than the spot price of STRC, so related fluctuations will not trigger large-scale liquidations.

Apyx announced an increase of 38,800 shares of STRC, currently holding a total of 288,800 shares, with a total value of 28.76 million dollars. The company plans to become the largest holder of STRC.

Stablecoin protocol Apyx announced an increase in its holdings of 200,000 shares of Strategy perpetual preferred stock STRC (approximately $20 million), raising its total holdings to 255,000 shares.
