Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire responded during the Circle Q4 2025 earnings call regarding "the progress of the Arc token and when the Arc token will be launched," stating, "We are still actively exploring the Arc token. I believe this is a very valuable exploration. We are gaining a deeper understanding of how tokens play a key role in stakeholder incentives, governance, security, and functional utility within the Arc network. Therefore, this exploration is ongoing.At this time, we have not communicated any specific timeline, as we are still in the exploratory phase. However, as I mentioned, we have made significant progress on the Arc project and are steadily moving towards the launch of the Arc mainnet, which is expected to go live in 2026.We anticipate seeing some excellent companies participate in operating the Arc infrastructure, deploying applications on that infrastructure, and providing support for asset issuers and AI agents, covering a wide range of application scenarios. Once we have more information to disclose, we will make it public."

According to PR Newswire, Canton Network and Chainlink jointly announced that the Chainlink data standard has officially been deployed in the Canton ecosystem, further promoting the scalable development of institutional-grade real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. The Chainlink Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) will also be launched on Canton soon to support the secure cross-chain transfer of tokenized assets.In addition, Chainlink Data Streams, SmartData NAV and AUM data sources, as well as Proof of Reserve, have also been integrated into the Canton ecosystem.

The underlying public chain BOT Chain, designed for large-scale Web3 applications, announces the official launch of its mainnet. Through a three-layer decoupled architecture, this chain standardizes functionalities such as DeFi, NFT, and AI Agent, allowing developers to avoid writing smart contracts from scratch, significantly improving development efficiency.In terms of technological innovation, BOT Chain has introduced the AIDID native identity protocol, granting AI agents on-chain accounts and credit; it also pioneers a dual mining mechanism combining PoS staking and DePIN hardware contributions, allowing validation nodes to receive dual rewards, deeply binding network security with real computing power.The public chain has completed a $15 million strategic financing round led by institutions such as the NIX Foundation, Alpha Capital, and Gemhead Capital, and has passed a security audit by CertiK. BOT Chain's chief architect Alexander Ververis stated, "Our goal is not to create a 'faster and cheaper' chain, but to enable millions of developers to innovate easily, allow AI agents to become on-chain residents, and let value return to real growth on the network."

According to official news from IoTeX, the IoTeX mainnet has fully resumed operation on February 24 at 06:06 (UTC). Previously, the IoTeX team, along with node representatives, deployed the Mainnet v2.3.4 security upgrade, permanently freezing approximately 45 million IOTX in 29 attacker wallets.According to on-chain forensic analysis, although the attackers minted 410 million CIOTX, 99.5% of the assets have been frozen or locked. The actual economic loss is approximately 4.4 million USD, and the attackers have converted these assets into 66.78 BTC, currently stored in four Bitcoin addresses.The IoTeX Foundation has committed to providing 100% compensation to all affected users from the foundation's treasury and has submitted a formal report to U.S. law enforcement agencies. To prevent similar incidents from occurring again, IoTeX is implementing multiple security upgrades, including transitioning to decentralized bridge governance, multi-signature control, and on-chain circuit breaker measures.

Stripe's annual letter for 2025, released on platform X, states that its total transaction volume for platform business reached $1.9 trillion last year, a 34% increase year-over-year, accounting for approximately 1.6% of global GDP.

The decentralized staking protocol Ether.fi announced that its DeFi native crypto card product ether.fi Cash will migrate from the Scroll network to the OP Mainnet (Optimism Mainnet). The migration work will be completed in the coming months, involving approximately 70,000 active cards, 300,000 accounts, and millions of dollars in user locked assets (TVL).ether.fi Cash offers a non-custodial crypto payment experience, allowing users to spend directly with stablecoins or use staked and re-staked assets (such as eETH) as collateral for borrowing while continuing to earn yields and enjoy cashback rewards similar to traditional bank cards. The card can be used at all merchants that support Visa. Data shows that the Ether.fi card currently accounts for nearly half of the crypto native payment card transaction volume, becoming one of the leading products in this field. Meanwhile, the OP Stack processed approximately 3.6 billion transactions in the second half of 2025, accounting for 13% of the total crypto transaction volume during the same period, providing high throughput infrastructure support for this migration.

According to market news, the decentralized derivatives exchange Decibel, incubated by Aptos Labs, announced the launch of its protocol-native stablecoin USDCBL before its mainnet goes live this month. This token is issued by Bridge and aims to serve as collateral for on-chain perpetual contracts, retaining the earnings generated from cash and U.S. Treasury reserves within the protocol.Decibel stated that users will need to deposit USDC and exchange it for USDCBL for trading after the launch. The USDCBL reserves are supported by a mix of cash and short-term U.S. Treasury bonds, and the reserve earnings will be used for protocol development and ecosystem building, reducing reliance on trading fees and incentive programs. The foundation emphasized that this move is not "issuing another stablecoin," but positioning USDCBL as a core exchange infrastructure.

The Solana ecosystem's one-stop trading platform Bullet has announced that perpetual contract trading has gone live on the mainnet, with an underlying architecture designed for trading that can handle up to 30,000 orders per second, with latency as low as 1 millisecond.Currently, Bullet has launched a restricted access mainnet, and users who want to participate early need an access invitation code, which can be obtained by contacting team members. All waitlisted users will also have their access gradually opened in batches, with the first batch of users added to the whitelist today. It is reported that Bullet offers derivatives, spot, and lending products on the same platform, achieving a "trinity" one-stop service.

According to official news, ENS v2 will be deployed directly on the Ethereum mainnet and will cease the development of its proprietary Layer 2 network Namechain.This decision stems from the Ethereum L1 scaling speed exceeding expectations. After the Fusaka upgrade in 2025, which will raise the Gas limit to 60 million, the Gas cost for ENS registrations has decreased by 99% over the past year, with the average registration fee now below $0.05. Nick.eth stated that although the development of Namechain will stop, the roadmap for ENS v2 remains unchanged, and users will still experience features such as one-step registration, support for cross-chain stablecoin payments, and a completely new registry design.The ENS team believes that staying on L1 can eliminate the additional trust assumptions brought by L2 and leverage Ethereum's strongest infrastructure guarantees. Currently, the brand new ENS App and ENS Explorer have entered public Alpha testing.
