Financial services giant Charles Schwab announced on Thursday that it plans to add Solana, Avalanche, and Chainlink to its cryptocurrency trading platform in the coming months, further expanding beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, but did not provide specific launch dates. This addition comes about three months after Charles Schwab introduced direct trading of Bitcoin and Ethereum to some retail clients, who previously could only gain exposure to cryptocurrencies through exchange-traded products and stocks of companies like Coinbase and Strategy, without the ability to directly purchase cryptocurrencies.Joe Vietri, head of digital assets at Charles Schwab, stated that this expansion will provide clients with more options for digital asset allocation. Solana focuses on fast, low-cost transactions, Avalanche supports businesses and developers in creating custom blockchains, and Chainlink connects blockchains with external information, providing data such as asset prices for smart contracts. Clients can buy and sell these cryptocurrencies on the official website, mobile app, and thinkorswim platform, with a fee of 75 basis points (0.75%) per transaction.

According to OnchainLens monitoring, Chainlink added 92,000 LINK to its strategic reserves yesterday, worth approximately $1.1 million.In the past 30 days, the reserves have cumulatively increased by 598,300 LINK, worth approximately $5.62 million; the current total holdings are 5.67 million LINK, worth approximately $66.44 million.

Fox Business crypto reporters posted on the X platform that the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation are advancing the finalization of a rule to define "unsafe or unsound practices" in bank regulation. This term has not been clearly defined for years, primarily relying on the broad discretion of bank examiners.Under this rule, when regulators determine that a practice is "unsafe or unsound," they must link it to actual illegal conduct or significant financial risk, thereby reducing the likelihood of pressuring banks serving legitimate clients, including crypto companies, based on vague reputational or procedural issues. This rule marks another important step towards further dismantling "Operation Chokepoint 2."

Charles Schwab announced plans to add trading services for Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX), and Chainlink (LINK) to its Schwab Crypto platform in the coming months.Schwab Crypto began offering clients direct trading in Bitcoin and Ethereum in May 2026.

Google has confirmed that it is gradually promoting the "goto" redirect parameter in search result links. When users click on a link, they will first go through a redirect address with the google.com/goto parameter, rather than directly pointing to the target webpage. This mechanism increases the difficulty for automated tools to batch parse and scrape search results through server-side redirection, in response to scraping behaviors from third-party tools and AI companies.SEO monitoring platform Nozzle's data shows that this change has nearly 100% coverage in multiple residential IP service provider environments.

According to Cointelegraph, digital asset infrastructure provider Taurus has integrated its tokenization and custody platform with Swift's blockchain-based ledger. Taurus stated in the announcement that its clients can make payments on this ledger using bank-issued tokenized deposits through the existing digital asset infrastructure.The first batch of client integrations is expected to go live in a few days, with the first distributed ledger transactions completed through the Taurus platform anticipated to occur within weeks. Swift announced in July this year that the ledger is available for preliminary use, with 17 banks from six continents preparing to pilot real-time transactions using tokenized deposits.Previously, Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC completed the first real-time cross-border transaction through this ledger, connecting their respective independent tokenized deposit systems. Swift's ledger acts as a coordinating layer, supporting 24/7 cross-border payments for tokenized deposits on participating banks' balance sheets and coordinating inter-institutional transfers through existing mechanisms (including real-time gross settlement systems) before final settlement.

According to Cryptonomist, Animoca Brands and the RWA platform NUVA supported by Nuva Labs announced the adoption of Chainlink as its exclusive data infrastructure to provide tamper-proof valuation data for tokenized housing-related assets. The related asset base is approximately $19 billion, with the underlying sourced from Figure Technologies' Provenance Blockchain.The report states that NUVA will launch on Ethereum in May 2026, positioning itself as a cross-chain vault market, providing institutional-grade real estate credit exposure to retail users. Its products include nvYLDS (yield-bearing vault tokens linked to short-term U.S. Treasury yields) and nvPRIME (tokenized private credit vaults tracking the performance of real estate-backed credit such as Home Equity Lines of Credit - HELOC). Chainlink will initially provide pricing support for nvPRIME, used for collateral valuation, lending parameter setting, and liquidation threshold calculations.

Ukraine is seeking to use drones equipped with the Starlink system to strike missile launch silos within 200 kilometers inside Russia due to a shortage of air defense interceptors.

Military experts say Ukraine is struggling to obtain enough interceptors to maintain its air defense strategy.

On August 21, Sergey Nazarov, co-founder and CEO of Chainlink, stated at the first meeting of the U.S. CFTC Innovation Advisory Committee that he appreciates the CFTC and SEC finally beginning to cooperate efficiently and constructively, rather than publicly conflicting as before. He believes this alone has significantly enhanced the reputation and trust of the U.S. financial markets and helps to form a unified regulatory vision, avoiding the past multiple conflicting rules that hinder innovation.Nazarov pointed out that regulatory fragmentation has incurred serious costs. Chainlink provides data, cross-chain infrastructure, and more for thousands of applications, supporting most of the DeFi ecosystem. Over the past seven years, he has witnessed hundreds of developers choose to leave the U.S. due to uncertainty, no longer building high-quality applications in the U.S. or serving American consumers, which is a huge loss for the U.S. financial system and consumers.He emphasized that the next trend is clear: tokenization of equity will release a large amount of on-chain value. The U.S. stock market currently accounts for about 60% of the global equity market value and flow. If the global financial system accelerates on-chain, the U.S. must advance on-chain at an equal or even faster pace to maintain this dominant position; otherwise, innovation and market advantages may be lost.
