DBS and Citibank's New York office completed a cross-border payment in US dollars between Singapore and the United States on September 5 using tokenized deposits through the Swift Digital Ledger. The transaction was executed over the weekend and took only a few minutes, while traditional cross-border payments typically take up to two business days, allowing businesses to avoid losing time due to time zone differences and weekend gaps. This is the second confirmed real-time application of the ledger, following HSBC and Standard Chartered's completion of the first real-time tokenized deposit cross-border transaction in August. Swift announced the ledger's preliminary availability on July 9, with 17 banks ready to pilot it, and DBS is the only bank headquartered in Asia among the 12 core design group members. DBS Group Chief Operating Officer Rachel Chew stated that the Swift Digital Ledger is connecting traditional banking infrastructure with emerging digital networks to drive the practical application of tokenized currency from experimentation. Citibank's Head of South Asia Services Mridula Iyer noted that weekend real-time transactions prove that around-the-clock cross-border payments have become a reality.

According to Bitcoin Magazine, the Bitcoin fintech company Castle announced that it will open its automated Bitcoin financial stack to individual users and launch a pioneering feature in this category: users can choose to receive dividend income in cash or Bitcoin at any ratio.Castle's revenue comes from the perpetual preferred stock STRC issued by Strategy, which was incorporated into the platform earlier this year and currently pays an annualized dividend of 12% on a semi-monthly basis. Users can receive 100% of the dividends in cash, convert 100% to Bitcoin, or choose any ratio between the two. According to the company, most users opt for a compromise solution, using cash to cover daily expenses while automatically reinvesting the remaining portion into Bitcoin with each dividend payout.Castle co-founder and CTO João Almeida stated that investors have long faced a dilemma of choosing between stable income and holding Bitcoin. Castle allows users to achieve both cash flow and long-term upside by automatically converting a portion of the dividends into Bitcoin. Previously, Castle only catered to business clients such as restaurants, gyms, accounting firms, and e-commerce; the opening of personal accounts was due to repeated requests from business owners. Castle was co-founded by Almeida and CEO Stephen Cole and has received investments from Boost VC and Winklevoss Capital.

According to official news, the Circle Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) now supports a fast transfer prepayment fee feature. Previously, the protocol fee would be directly deducted from the USDC transfer amount on the target chain; with this update, developers can pre-quote and collect fees using the native Gas token or USDC from the source chain before executing the transfer, thereby simplifying the fee handling for cross-chain transfers and ensuring that users receive the expected amount of USDC.It is reported that the prepayment fee mechanism mainly improves the predictability of fees in cross-chain applications. Users do not have to bear the reduction in the actual amount received due to additional deductions on the target chain; at the same time, the CCTP Quote API can uniformly calculate fees for different supported chains and integrate Fast Transfer and Forwarding fees into a single quote, so developers do not need to build systems to separately calculate multiple protocol fees. In addition, fees can be paid directly using the native token of the source chain, which will not reduce or affect the actual transferred USDC balance.Currently, the prepayment fee feature supports USDC transfers on all EVM chains covered by CCTP, but it does not support transfers initiated from Solana; transfers to Solana are still supported. Developers can obtain specific fee quotes through the Quote API and integrate this feature, and relevant developers can refer to the CCTP official documentation to build a more predictable cross-chain USDC transfer process.
