The Robinhood chain ecosystem token STANDARD (The Standard Reserve) reached a market value of 40 million USD two hours after its launch, then fell back, currently reported at 28.91 million USD, with a trading volume exceeding 40 million USD. The current circulating supply of the on-chain STANDARD token is 98,323,639.9815 tokens.The project aims to become an on-chain sovereign central bank, attempting to replace traditional central banks or DAO governance with immutable smart contract code (about 4,000 lines) to achieve automatic monetary policy. The protocol automatically adjusts monetary policy through the net flow of ETH in the official trading pool of Uniswap v4: when there is a net inflow of funds, it gradually expands the issuance of STANDARD and uses the income to accumulate reserve assets and the protocol's own liquidity; when there is a net outflow of funds, it reduces the issuance and uses the income to buy back and destroy tokens.The official white paper shows that STANDARD, as the only token in the ecosystem, has a hard cap of 1 billion tokens. At the genesis, only 100 million tokens were pre-mined, and all were locked as the protocol's own liquidity in the ETH--STANDARD pool on Uniswap v4. The remaining 900 million tokens are the issuance budget, and once the cumulative issuance is exhausted, the basic issuance will permanently stop. The trading fee distribution plan is: 70% goes to the reserve/buyback pool, 15% for permanent liquidity, and 15% allocated to the team. The current basic issuance of the protocol starts at 700,000 tokens per day and adjusts the policy multiplier m based on the inflow of ETH (ranging from 0.2 times to 1.25 times, starting at 1 time).

According to The Defiant, Kraken has launched three xStocks vaults, allowing eligible customers to deposit SPYx, QQQx, and NVDAx into the vaults while earning floating returns while retaining exposure to tokenized stocks or ETFs. The vault initially shows an estimated net APY of 2% for SPYx and QQQx, and 1.8% for NVDAx. Kraken charges a 25% performance fee on vault earnings, and the displayed interest rate has already deducted this fee; rewards will be converted into the same type of xStock and automatically reinvested into the customer's balance.The strategy is designed by Sentora and is responsible for risk management, while Veda provides the vault infrastructure. After customers deposit xStock, Kraken transfers it to an embedded self-custody wallet on Ink, packages it, and deposits it into the Veda vault; Sentora then cross-chain transfers the packaged xStock to Solana and deposits it as collateral in the Kamino lending market. After borrowing stablecoins, it is deployed into selected DeFi strategies, and the returns are ultimately converted back into the deposited xStock. Customers do not need an external wallet or mnemonic phrase but can export the private key; redemption requires a three-day wait for funds to arrive.Kraken's documentation shows that the strategy uses leverage to generate returns by borrowing stablecoins and lists risks such as smart contracts, liquidity, bad debts, liquidation, cross-chain execution, and downstream assets, with losses shared proportionally among vault users. xStock holders do not have voting rights, dividend rights, or legal claims to the underlying stocks. The vault is currently available to the European Economic Area and other supported markets, while users from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, the United Arab Emirates, and sanctioned countries cannot use it.
