Pump.fun posted on X platform stating that the creator compensation system needs reform, and multiple reform measures will be introduced soon. The creator fee sharing feature has been implemented, supporting sharing fees with up to 10 wallets, transferring token ownership, and revoking update permissions. More updates are coming soon.

Former Coinbase employee hish posted on the X platform early this morning, stating that Coinbase has not yet truly understood the value of content tokens. Content tokens must have sustainable revenue capabilities and be able to share value with token holders; otherwise, it is difficult to form long-term value accumulation. If Base cannot solve this core issue of revenue sharing, related content tokens may ultimately just become more beautifully packaged meme coins. In contrast, the construction of creator tokens has a higher threshold and is more challenging, so exploring project tokens may be a more realistic path, but this may require Coinbase to make certain trade-offs at the wallet application level.In response, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated that there is still a lack of understanding in the market regarding the essence of content tokens and creator tokens. He mentioned that when users purchase content tokens, they can indirectly promote the economic activities and demand of the underlying creator tokens, as both can achieve value linkage and transmission through liquidity pool mechanisms.

Elon Musk responded to community users on the X platform who suggested that the platform should significantly increase creator revenue shares, even higher than YouTube and other social media platforms. He stated: "Let's do this, but on the condition that we have effective mechanisms to prevent abuse, loophole exploitation, and other violations."It is worth mentioning that Musk tagged Solana advisor and X product head Nikita Bier to handle this matter. Nikita Bier indicated that there is now a new method to eliminate 99% of fraudulent content. Reportedly, in the past few months, X users have reported an increase in creator rewards, mainly because AI can now support most content, and only platforms willing to invest in retaining real creators have unique value and can be trusted for content.

According to Fortune, YouTube has launched a new feature for creators in the U.S. to receive stablecoin payments via PayPal. May Zabaneh, head of cryptocurrency at PayPal, confirmed that creators can now choose to receive platform revenue shares in the form of PayPal stablecoin PYUSD, a feature currently available only to U.S. users.YouTube has previously been a client of PayPal's payment services, using it to provide payments for gig workers and contractors for large enterprises. At the beginning of the third quarter this year, PayPal added the option to receive payments in PYUSD for its payees, after which YouTube decided to offer this option to creators.Zabaneh stated, "The advantage we built is that YouTube does not need to directly engage with cryptocurrency; we help eliminate that complexity." This move reflects the growing interest of large tech companies in stablecoins.

According to The Block, OpenLedger has launched the OPEN mainnet, which aims to create a decentralized network to provide data provenance and an automated contributor compensation mechanism for artificial intelligence systems.Users can upload datasets to a shared "data network," where developers can train models and automatically complete payments through smart contracts. According to OpenLedger, this model draws inspiration from the economic models of creator platforms like YouTube, aiming to help researchers, writers, and domain experts who support AI system training to earn revenue.At the core of the OPEN mainnet is the "proof of attribution" system, which records the provenance of each dataset, model, and agent on-chain. Every output generated by AI can be traced back to the original contributor, enabling verifiable credit records and automatic payments.OpenLedger states that developers integrating with this network can easily build AI agents without managing infrastructure or data hosting. Contributor earnings are handled by the protocol's OPEN token, with rewards distributed based on the attribution trail on-chain. This infrastructure is referred to as "data as a shared service," providing data producers with tools to access the AI supply chain, allowing them to earn passive income when their works are used in models.Previously, OpenLedger completed a $8 million seed round financing, led by Polychain Capital and Borderless Capital.

Global payment giant Visa has officially launched a stablecoin payment pilot program, allowing creators, freelancers, and businesses to receive payments directly in USDC issued by Circle through Visa Direct, enabling cross-border instant settlement.Visa stated that during the pilot phase, businesses can initiate payments in fiat currency in the U.S., while recipients can choose to receive USDC directly, with funds arriving in almost a few minutes. This will provide convenience for users in areas with currency fluctuations or limited bank access. Chris Newkirk, President of Visa's Business and Cash Flow Solutions, said, "The launch of stablecoin payments means truly achieving 'funds arriving in minutes,' allowing users worldwide to quickly and securely receive income."It is reported that this pilot is a further expansion of Visa's stablecoin program. In September of this year, Visa conducted a "stablecoin pre-funding" pilot, allowing businesses to fund Visa Direct accounts using stablecoins, and this time it is the first to support end-users receiving payments directly in stablecoins. Recipients must have a stablecoin wallet that meets Visa standards and undergo KYC/AML certification. Visa stated that the plan will be promoted to more partners in the second half of 2026, currently only supporting USDC. Since 2020, Visa has facilitated over $140 billion in cryptocurrency and stablecoin transactions and launched more than 130 stablecoin-linked card programs in 40 countries.

According to GoPlus, the creator of the meme coin "Binance Life" only profited about $4,000 from the project, missing out on a massive opportunity as the token reached a peak market value of $500 million. After deploying the "Binance Life" token on October 4, the creator, following his usual "flowing disk" strategy, cleared all chips in two transactions within 20 seconds, making a profit of about $4,000. However, just a few hours later, the token suddenly surged, reaching a market value of $500 million, with a daily trading volume of up to $410 million. A few hours after he sold, Binance Life quickly rose, and that address bought Binance Life again, making several quick trades back and forth.Stimulated by this, the creator subsequently launched 359 tokens in the following period, averaging 51 per day, including 292 similar Chinese meme coins like "Binance Alipay," "Binance Avenue," etc., in an attempt to replicate the success of "Binance Life," but none achieved significant profits.

The founder of Timefun, Kawz, stated that Time.fun will gradually shut down its existing creator token platform, retaining only the functions for fund withdrawals and asset transfers to complete the transition to a new product form. The new application will completely abandon the creator token model and instead build a next-generation social platform based on cryptographic technology. He pointed out that although the team still sees long-term potential in creator tokens, the current market's user activity and trading demand are clearly insufficient, making it difficult for the model to support the sustainable development of the product.Kawz further stated that the new social platform will be designed around "on-chain identity and social incentives," aiming to allow users to naturally generate on-chain assets and credit systems through social interactions, rather than relying on speculation-driven token issuance. The new product has entered the internal testing phase and will announce a product preview and testing invitation plan in the coming weeks.

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, claims that the Baby Shark token, which represents the most viewed video on YouTube, plummeted 90% after the company that minted this Meme coin realized it had no issuance rights from the issuing platform. The token's price on Story Protocol fell from a high of 35 cents on Tuesday to less than 0.064 cents.Previously, the brand owner Pinkfong Co., based in Seoul, released an official statement on the X platform on Friday, stating that the token "is in no way associated with the company." "Baby Shark" is a two-minute animated music short aimed at young children, which has garnered over 16 billion views since its release in 2016. The token was issued through IP.World, which at one point had a market cap of up to $200 million. IP.World stated that the rights provided by its licensing partner Pinkfong were flawed, and its verification process hindered the distribution of creator fees.Pinkfong Co. stated in the announcement that only the Meme coin Baby Shark on Solana and the Baby Shark Universe token on BNB Chain are officially recognized assets. However, this statement failed to calm traders' emotions, as they previously mistakenly believed that the token was an official collaboration project of Pinkfong Co., and this misunderstanding was further exacerbated by influencer endorsements and the promotional efforts of Story Protocol itself.
