O empréstimo nativo na XRP Ledger está mais próximo do que nunca, mas ainda precisa superar uma alta exigência de governança antes de entrar em funcionamento. Duas emendas ao protocolo, XLS-65 e XLS-66, devem, cada uma, garantir o apoio de mais de 80% dos validadores confiáveis da rede e manter esse suporte por duas semanas consecutivas antes que qualquer uma delas possa ser ativada na mainnet.
O monitoramento recente coloca o suporte ao XLS-65 (SingleAssetVault) em cerca de 37%, ou 13 dos 35 validadores, enquanto o XLS-66 (LendingProtocol) fica perto de 34%, ou 12 dos 35. Para que o código seja implementado no nível base da rede, ele precisa atingir o limite de 28 votos e mantê-lo por duas semanas.

How the 80/8/12 split works
@Zcash does not pay its full block reward to miners. Since the NU6 network upgrade activated alongside the second halving in November 2024, 80% of the Zcash block reward is distributed to miners, 8% goes to the Zcash Community Grants Committee (ZCG) to fund independent teams in the Zcash ecosystem, and 12% is distributed to a "lockbox," a pool of issued funds tracked by the protocol.
Every 75 seconds, a new block is mined to the Zcash blockchain and a block reward of 1.5625 ZEC comes into circulation. That means miners receive 1.25 ZEC per block, ZCG receives 0.125 ZEC, and the coinholder-controlled lockbox accrues 0.1875 ZEC per block.
Zcash funding has undergone a structural shift. For its first eight years, the network operated under a direct funding model where 20% of block rewards were automatically distributed to specific organizations. As of Network Upgrade 6 (NU6) in November 2024, that model ended. The earlier Deferred Dev Fund Lockbox seeded the coinholder-controlled fund that replaced it.
What coinholders can do with the fund
Zcash now runs coin-weighted "Coinholder" polls that let ZEC holders vote on funding and roadmap choices using shielded ZEC. The working design is that coinholder votes set how deferred development funds are allocated, with a defined quorum and simple-majority rules, via a transparent multisig that disburses grants per the vote. In practice, holders can direct that money toward ecosystem teams or leave it to accumulate in the fund.
The Coinholder Grants Program, seeded by the existing lockbox, is set to receive 12% of block rewards through the third halving in 2028. Zcash has indicated the current model will be reassessed at that point rather than renewed automatically. It is also possible that before the third halving, Zcash will switch to a smoothed issuance schedule as proposed by ZIP 234, which would remove further halvings as discrete steps.

De um resquício de rede a uma atualização de verdade
A Solana está prestes a triplicar o tamanho máximo de uma única transação on-chain quando a Transaction V1 for ativada na mainnet em 9 de setembro. A Anza planeja ativar a Transaction V1 na mainnet, expandindo o tamanho máximo da transação serializada de 1.232 bytes para 4.096 bytes. A mudança representa um aumento de 3,3x e constitui a reformulação mais significativa do formato de transações da Solana desde que a V0 introduziu as address lookup tables.
O antigo limite de 1.232 bytes nunca foi uma escolha deliberada de design. O limite foi herdado da arquitetura de rede anterior da Solana, na qual as transações eram transmitidas como datagramas UDP individuais e precisavam caber no MTU mínimo de 1.280 bytes do IPv6. Após contabilizar o cabeçalho IPv6 de 40 bytes e o cabeçalho UDP de oito bytes, restavam 1.232 bytes para a própria transação. Quando o QUIC se tornou o protocolo padrão de ingestão de transações em 2022, esse teto passou a ser artificial: o RFC 9000 do QUIC não especifica um tamanho máximo de stream, então transações maiores conseguem transitar sem fragmentação na camada de MTU.

Aumento nas transferências enquanto a oferta se contrai
A @StellarOrg processou US$ 8,92 bilhões em transferências de stablecoins nos últimos 30 dias, um aumento de 50% em relação ao mês anterior, segundo dados da rwa.xyz. O que torna o número notável é que ele chegou junto com uma contração no “float” de stablecoins. A oferta de stablecoins mantidas na rede caiu 11,7% no mesmo período, para US$ 387,92 milhões, o que significa que o menor pool de ativos girou cerca de 23 vezes. O número de detentores subiu 2,8%, para 706.000.
A alta velocidade de um flutuador em retração é um sinal de que as stablecoins na Stellar estão sendo usadas ativamente, em vez de ficarem paradas. O padrão se alinha a uma mudança mais ampla na forma como analistas acompanham os mercados de stablecoins. Em 2026, a oferta caiu, enquanto o uso continua se acumulando, quebrando uma correlação que se manteve por anos. Os dados de 30 dias da Stellar ilustram exatamente essa dinâmica no nível da rede.

The National Cryptocurrency Association (@NatCryptoAssoc) went on the offensive this week, launching a campaign that puts everyday Americans front and centre to make the case for crypto regulation ahead of a critical Senate deadline. The campaign features plumbers, ranchers, and small business owners sharing personal stories about how digital assets affect their lives, with the group citing 67 million American adults now holding crypto, up from 55 million in 2025.
A narrow window in the Senate
The timing is deliberate. The CLARITY Act is scheduled for a Senate cloture vote on the motion to proceed on September 15, a procedural gatekeeping test that determines whether the chamber can begin formal debate on a comprehensive crypto market-structure framework. It needs to clear a 60-vote threshold, and since Republicans control only 53 Senate seats, at least seven Democrats would need to join a unified GOP conference to get there.
The September 15 vote is not a direct vote on whether the CLARITY Act will become law. However, the Senate requires a 60-vote supermajority to proceed, and if the bill fails to secure those votes, it will essentially be dead for 2026.
The CLARITY Act would establish a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency and digital assets. The bill cleared the House in July 2025 with a 294-134 vote, including the support of 78 Democrats. To become law, it must still be reconciled with the Senate Agriculture Committee's version, pass a 60-vote Senate floor vote, be reconciled with the House-passed version, and be signed by the President.
Markets remain sceptical
The delay in bringing the bill to a vote has weakened expectations around its passing, with analysts warning that the limited legislative calendar and November elections could make passage difficult. Polymarket traders currently put the odds of the bill being enacted this year at just 15%, reflecting broader concern that time is running out.
The National Cryptocurrency Association and its president have entreated the Senate to support the CLARITY Act as the cloture vote approaches, arguing the case on the basis of jobs that crypto provides across the nation. The grassroots campaign is the group's latest effort to build public and political pressure before the window closes.
Critics, particularly the banking industry, have argued the legislation would create loopholes that threatened the financial safety of state and local banks. Outstanding issues lawmakers must still resolve include government ethics, law enforcement provisions, and stablecoin yield and rewards.

O token $DOT da @Polkadot foi a US$1,24 na terça-feira antes de se estabilizar perto de US$1,23, alta de 12,5% nas últimas 24 horas e de 42% nos últimos sete dias. O movimento se destaca porque o mercado cripto mais amplo praticamente não mudou no mesmo período, fazendo do $DOT um dos desempenhos mais claros da sessão.
O volume confirma o movimento
O volume de negociação atingiu US$377,63 milhões na janela de 24 horas, acima de 14% em relação ao dia anterior. Esse valor representa cerca de 18% da capitalização de mercado de US$2,09 bilhões do $DOT, uma taxa de giro notavelmente alta para um token que ocupa a 39ª posição no ranking por capitalização. Uma relação volume-capitalização nesse patamar normalmente sugere que a movimentação de preço é impulsionada por atividade real de negociação, e não por deriva em um mercado pouco líquido.

A different approach to transaction pricing
Most public networks price their transactions directly in their native token, which means the real cost of any on-chain action moves in lockstep with market conditions. @hedera takes a different path. Hedera pegs transaction fees to a static value in USD, but with the actual fees paid in $HBAR. The result is that users and enterprises know what a transaction costs in dollar terms before they sign it, regardless of where $HBAR is trading.
A basic transfer is fixed at $0.0001, denominated in USD and settled in HBAR. Hedera updates its exchange rate file frequently so that clients are insulated from HBAR volatility. As HBAR moves up or down against the dollar, the amount of HBAR charged adjusts accordingly, keeping the USD price stable.
How the fee schedule and exchange rate work under the hood
Prices come from the configured fee schedule stored in system file 0.0.113 and may change. Fees are charged in HBAR, converted from USD at the live exchange rate. The exchange rate itself is published separately by the network and refreshed roughly once an hour, meaning the HBAR amount a user pays can shift between updates even for an identical transaction.
The fee model applies one consistent pricing structure to every transaction on Hedera. A transaction's total fee is the sum of three components: a node fee, a network fee, and a service fee, each calculated as a base amount plus extras that measure specific resources consumed.
All values are computed in USD, stored as tinycents in the canonical schedule, and converted to HBAR using the network exchange rate at handle time. All fees are defined in USD as tinycents, where 10^8 tinycents form one cent and 10^10 tinycents equal one dollar, providing a high degree of precision while avoiding floating point math.
Standard fees follow the published table, but not every transaction is straightforward. The fee tables reflect standard transaction pricing. If the high-volume flag is set on a supported entity creation transaction, a variable-rate multiplier is applied on top of the standard fee. Developers working at scale should account for this when estimating costs.
By offering consistent and transparent costs, Hedera's approach aligns with the expectations of businesses and enterprises that rely on stable operational expenses for scalability and budget planning. For builders, this predictability also has a practical side: transaction cost becomes a property of the application code that can be planned for, asserted against, and audited, and wallets can show the exact fee before the user signs.

@spaceandtime anunciou na terça-feira, 8 de setembro, que integrou o Confidential HTTP da @chainlink em seu produto Virtual Vaults. A medida, amplificada pela própria conta da Chainlink, foi projetada para permitir que tomadores institucionais provem posições de colateral para credores sem entregar credenciais brutas de API a qualquer contraparte.
Como funciona o fluxo de credenciais
Quando o Virtual Vaults executa uma verificação de saldo, a chamada de API é encaminhada para um ambiente de Execução Confiável (TEE) selado. Dentro desse enclave, as credenciais são usadas para buscar os dados relevantes da conta e então descartadas antes que o resultado saia do ambiente. Operadores de nós, o credor e a própria Space and Time permanecem fora desse processo. O resultado verificado é então liquidado na blockchain por meio de uma prova de conhecimento zero, fornecendo aos credores uma garantia criptográfica da posição do tomador.

@LayerZero_Core has secured both SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 accreditations covering its entire infrastructure, the project announced on September 8. The audits were conducted under the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Trust Services Criteria, spanning security, availability, and confidentiality.
What the Two Reports Actually Mean
A Type 1 report attests that controls are suitably designed at a single point in time, while a Type 2 report goes further, confirming those controls operated effectively across a defined window, usually three to twelve months. In other words, Type 1 answers whether the right safeguards exist today. Type 2 answers whether they held up under real operating conditions over time.
Type 2 is regarded as the gold standard for operational effectiveness, often required by enterprise customers and regulators. For a cross-chain messaging protocol handling activity across multiple blockchains, clearing both reports in tandem carries more weight than either alone.
Why It Matters for LayerZero
LayerZero Labs is the team behind one of crypto's most widely used cross-chain messaging protocols. The accreditation, verified through independent auditing under AICPA Trust Services Criteria, signals that LayerZero's internal controls around data security, availability, and confidentiality are not just well-designed on paper but have actually held up over an extended observation period.
A SOC 2 report signals that an organization takes security, availability, and data handling seriously. For many growing technology companies, that trust can open doors to larger clients, enterprise contracts, and new markets. For LayerZero, the dual accreditation is a clear push toward institutional credibility, reinforcing that the protocol's infrastructure meets independently verified standards rather than self-reported ones.
SOC 2 compliance is not legally required, but it is a de facto standard for tech vendors and managed service providers working with regulated industries or storing sensitive data. As institutional appetite for on-chain infrastructure grows, compliance benchmarks like these are increasingly part of the due diligence process.

Record spot volume puts Monad among the top DEX chains
@monad has cleared $513M in 24-hour spot DEX volume, a new record for the high-performance Layer 1 chain. According to DefiLlama data, that figure places Monad just behind Solana, Robinhood Chain, BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Base in the global DEX volume rankings, a notable achievement for a chain that only launched its mainnet in November 2025.
Monad is an Ethereum-compatible chain built to deliver 10,000 transactions per second, sub-second finality, and low fees through parallel EVM execution. That architecture appears to be translating into real trading activity, with spot volume now reaching a level that puts the network in direct competition with some of the most established chains in crypto.
TVL closes in on $1B as perpetuals surge
The DEX volume milestone comes alongside broader momentum across the Monad ecosystem. DeFi TVL on the chain is up 17% over the past month and now sits near $988M, with roughly $774M of that figure made up of stablecoins. Monad's TVL has climbed to $947M from about $52M at launch, according to Monad Community data.
Perpetuals trading has also picked up sharply. Weekly perps volume on Monad reached $935.81M, representing a week-over-week change of nearly 97%. That near-doubling in derivatives activity points to growing demand from active traders, not just liquidity providers rotating capital into the ecosystem.
The stablecoin composition of TVL is worth noting as a signal of ecosystem depth. Monad has surpassed $600M in stablecoins on its blockchain, with its real-world asset market built on tokenized Treasuries, private credit, gold, collateralized loan obligations, and yield-bearing stablecoins. That breadth of asset types suggests the chain is attracting more than speculative volume.
One area of watch for $MON holders is the token unlock schedule. About 6.66 billion MON is set to unlock in November 2026, with another 1.24 billion MON expected to unlock monthly until November 2029. How the market absorbs that supply will be a key test for the chain's momentum heading into next year.

A Kamino Finance é o maior protocolo de empréstimos do Solana, e o ativo subjacente aqui são recebíveis de cartão de crédito brasileiro tokenizados na blockchain. nOPAL representa uma participação tokenizada no cofre BlackOpal LiquidStone II, que agrega recebíveis de cartão de crédito brasileiro de curto prazo em um instrumento que gera rendimento. A faixa de rendimento histórica fica entre 8% e 12% de APY, e desde a criação do cofre no fim de 2025, ele reportou zero inadimplências.

O token $PONS da @ponsdotfamily fez uma das jogadas mais chamativas no mundo cripto recentemente, disparando mais de 2.000% nos últimos 30 dias enquanto a plataforma subjacente aperta o controle sobre a nova blockchain da Robinhood.
O Launchpad por trás da jogada
$PONS é o token por trás do Pons, o maior “memecoin factory” da Robinhood Chain, um lançador (launchpad) que permite que qualquer pessoa crie e negocie um token sem escrever uma única linha de código. Ele funciona como o token nativo de governança e utilidade do launchpad sem custódia construído na Robinhood Chain. O modelo da plataforma é simples: uma parcela das taxas de negociação é usada para recomprar e queimar automaticamente tokens $PONS, criando um mecanismo deflacionário diretamente ligado ao uso da plataforma.

MoonPay Adds EMI License to Its Dutch MiCA Approval
@MoonPay has received an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license from the Dutch Central Bank (De Nederlandsche Bank, DNB), authorizing the firm to issue regulated stablecoins and manage custodial payment accounts across the European Union. The development builds on MoonPay's existing MiCA-compliant Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) authorization, which it holds through the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM).
According to the French financial regulator AMF, MoonPay Europe B.V. has been granted a MiCA license by the Dutch competent authority (AFM) and is authorized to provide crypto-asset services across the EU under the free provision of services. The new EMI license layers stablecoin issuance capabilities on top of that existing authorization, making MoonPay the first entity in the Netherlands to hold both within a single legal entity.
MoonPay provides the regulatory and technical infrastructure for hundreds of third-party decentralized applications and self-custody software wallets, meaning the dual-license structure has direct implications for the broader ecosystem of products built on its rails. The company intends to use the combined authorization to roll out euro-denominated stablecoins and integrated card products, reducing reliance on legacy banking infrastructure.
Why the Dutch Jurisdiction Matters
The Netherlands has become one of the more active MiCA licensing hubs in Europe. In the Netherlands, CASP licenses under MiCA are supervised by both the AFM and the DNB, with the DNB also serving as the competent authority for EMI authorizations. That dual-regulator structure means firms operating in the Netherlands face scrutiny on both the crypto-asset services side and the e-money side, making a clean approval across both a credible signal of regulatory fitness.
MiCA-compliant stablecoins are classified as e-money tokens (EMTs) or asset-referenced tokens (ARTs), and their issuers must hold a license under the EU Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation, which became fully applicable on December 30, 2024. Under MiCA, an EMT is pegged to a single official currency and issued by an authorized EMI or credit institution under MiCA Title IV. MoonPay's new EMI license satisfies exactly that requirement for euro-pegged issuance.
The strategic value extends beyond the Netherlands. Authorized EMT issuers and CASPs can operate across all 27 EU member states without needing separate licenses in each jurisdiction, effectively giving MoonPay a single regulatory passport to distribute its stablecoin products across the bloc.
Backed by investors including Paradigm and Coatue, MoonPay was valued at $3.4 billion after raising $555 million in a Series A funding round in 2021. The company operates across more than 180 countries and supports over 100 digital assets.

@NYSE lançou oficialmente a negociação de opções para o ETF de @Grayscale de Zcash ($ZCSH), um marco que marca a primeira vez que um derivativo regulado de um ativo de privacidade conquistou suporte em uma grande bolsa dos EUA.
Uma Nova Camada Sobre o Primeiro ETF de Moeda de Privacidade
O lançamento das opções se baseia em um produto que já estava abrindo novos caminhos. O ETF de Zcash da Grayscale começou a ser negociado na NYSE Arca em 25 de agosto de 2026, como o primeiro produto negociado em bolsa do mundo a oferecer exposição à vista ao token de Zcash ($ZEC). O fundo foi convertido do Grayscale Zcash Trust, que foi originalmente estabelecido como uma colocação privada em outubro de 2017. Ele foi lançado com US$ 304 milhões em ativos sob gestão; desde então, esse valor cresceu para mais de US$ 414 milhões.

Protocol 27 Targets September 15 Mainnet Launch
Pi Network (@PiCoreTeam) is one week away from a significant technical milestone. The Core Team has targeted September 15, 2026 for the Protocol 27 Mainnet launch, bringing improved smart contract authentication and transaction authorization to the network.
The upgrade will bring automated market maker liquidity pools, smart contract authentication, and RPC infrastructure to production, completing a testnet process that has been running since late August. Pi Network began deploying Protocol 27 on Testnet 1 on August 21, allowing developers and node operators to test the new version before the planned Mainnet rollout.
The upgrade introduces more flexible and secure smart contract authentication capabilities, giving accounts and applications additional ways to authorize transactions. Protocol 27 is described as the last in the current line of planned protocol upgrades, with Protocol 28.0 already added to the future roadmap, signaling that development remains active beyond the current upgrade cycle.
What Node Operators and Pioneers Need to Know
The Core Team has set September 15, 2026 as the mandatory deadline for all nodes to complete the upgrade to version 27.1. This follows Pi Network's established upgrade methodology, which is sequential, mandatory, and built around clear deadlines to ensure network-wide consistency before the next step begins.
The obligation falls squarely on node operators. If you run a Pi node, you are required to upgrade, as nodes without a current version lost their connection to the Mainnet at the previous Protocol 26 deadline. If you only hold Pi in the app, no action is required for your balance.
The upgrade follows Protocol 26, which required all 421,000 node operators to update by August 11 or lose connectivity, clearing the path for this final planned protocol upgrade. Community members, known as Pioneers, will be watching closely to see whether the technical improvements translate into broader utility for apps and services built on the network.

Senator Cynthia Lummis (@SenLummis) is pressing the U.S. Senate to advance the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act ahead of a procedural vote on September 15, 2026, calling it a defining moment for American leadership in digital finance. Lummis has warned that failure to pass the legislation means the industry "will not get another realistic shot at this before the end of the decade."
Senate Majority Leader John Thune filed a cloture motion on the motion to proceed before the August recess, setting up the September 15 vote on whether to limit debate and advance the measure to the full Senate floor. The cloture vote requires 60 Senate votes, and Republicans currently hold only 53 seats, meaning supporters would need additional Democratic or independent backing.
What the Clarity Act Would Do
The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, or H.R. 3633, is proposed federal legislation that creates a regulatory framework for digital assets by splitting oversight between the SEC and the CFTC. The SEC would keep authority over securities and investment contracts, while the CFTC would gain exclusive jurisdiction over digital commodity spot markets. Supporters argue the division would replace years of regulatory ambiguity with a clear statutory rulebook.
Lummis has made similar arguments since FTX's collapse in 2022, pointing to Wyoming rules that restrict banks and exchanges from relending customer digital assets and arguing that stronger custody and asset-segregation requirements could have prevented the failure. The bill's custody provisions reflect that experience directly.
The Senate delayed a floor vote ahead of the August recess due to partisan disagreements over ethics rules and banking opposition. Seven Democratic senators issued a joint statement calling the current draft insufficient on ethics, consumer protection, and illicit finance, making their support conditional on text changes that have not materialized.
A Closing Window
When lawmakers reconvene on September 14, the calendar offers only 14 working days before an October election recess, and with the full House and about one-third of Senate seats on the ballot in November, election-season pressures are expected to consume lawmakers' attention.
The September 15 vote is on cloture on the motion to proceed, not final passage. Clearing it opens the bill for debate and amendments, while failing it ends Senate consideration under the current motion. If the bill fails, the crypto industry faces regulation by enforcement until at least 2029, along with a fragmented patchwork of agency rulemaking from the SEC, CFTC, OCC, and FASB.
SEC Chair Paul Atkins said he expects the Senate to advance the legislation and that the agency's proposed crypto rules are designed to align with it. The bill cleared the Senate Banking Committee in May on a 15-9 vote, the first time a broad digital asset regulatory framework had passed a congressional committee, while the House passed it 294-134 in July 2025.

@Strategy has doubled the authorized capacity of its Digital Credit Securities Repurchase Program, lifting the ceiling from $1.0 billion to $2.0 billion. The move, confirmed on September 8, 2026, signals a more aggressive approach to managing the company's capital structure as it works to stabilize its preferred securities around par value.
$176 Million in STRC Retired
Between August 31 and September 7, 2026, Strategy repurchased 1,810,885 shares of $STRC (Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock) for an aggregate price of $176.3 million. The funds came directly from the company's USD Cash reserves rather than its broader USD Reserve. As of September 7, $1.19 billion remained available under the expanded repurchase program, with a further $1.0 billion still authorized under the separate MSTR Stock repurchase program.
The $STRC buyback activity is part of a broader Digital Credit Capital Framework Strategy introduced in June 2026, which combines a USD reserve policy, an elevated 12% STRC dividend rate, active repurchases, and a Bitcoin monetization program. The stated goal is to keep STRC trading near its $100 stated amount. Strategy has said it intends to be a more aggressive buyer at deeper discounts and to taper activity as the price approaches par.
Bitcoin Treasury Holds at 845,050 BTC
Strategy made no Bitcoin purchases or sales during the same week. Its treasury stood at exactly 845,050 $BTC as of September 7, 2026, representing roughly 4% of Bitcoin's hard-capped 21 million supply. At recent valuations, that position carries a cost basis of approximately $63.73 billion.
The pause follows a notable return to buying in late August, when the company acquired 4,603 BTC for approximately $369.7 million, ending a 10-week hiatus. Executive Chairman Michael Saylor had signaled that resumption publicly. The latest quiet week appears focused on balance-sheet management rather than accumulation, with the company deploying liquidity toward retiring debt and preferred equity instruments instead.
As of September 7, Strategy reported a USD Reserve of $5.10 billion alongside a USD Cash balance of $1.44 billion, underscoring the significant liquidity buffer the firm is maintaining across its capital stack.

Canary Capital Group is preparing to launch the Canary Staked TRX ETF, ticker $TRXS, on the Cboe exchange on September 9, marking the first regulated product to give U.S. investors exposure to staked @Trondao's $TRX token.
A First for Regulated TRX Access in the U.S.
The fund combines two objectives in a single, exchange-listed wrapper. Its primary goal is to provide exposure to the price of TRX held by the trust, less operating expenses and other liabilities. A secondary objective is for the trust to earn additional TRX through participation in a staking program administered by the sponsor, with rewards generated through the validation of transactions on the Tron network's proof-of-stake process. In practical terms, that means investors can access both $TRX spot price moves and staking yield through an ordinary brokerage account, without needing to hold or stake tokens directly.
The fund's net asset value will be pegged to an institutional benchmark. The trust will establish its NAV by reference to the CoinDesk Tron Benchmark Rate 60m NY Rate. On the custody side, BitGo will provide custody services for TRX tokens, while U.S. Bank will safeguard the ETF's cash assets. An annual sponsor fee of 1.10% will apply, payable in TRX or cash, with staking fees of up to 20% of rewards also charged.
Regulatory Path and Timeline
The road to listing has been a long one. Canary originally submitted the fund's Form S-1 back in April 2025, with subsequent amendments adding the TRXS ticker, the Cboe listing plan, service providers, staking terms, and finalized fee details. The most recent amendment to the registration statement was filed on August 19, 2026. Trading is set to open on September 9 following the SEC prospectus becoming effective.
The structure is organized as a Delaware statutory trust. The trust was formed under the laws of Delaware, with Canary Capital Group LLC serving as sponsor. The fund will issue and redeem baskets of 10,000 shares, using either cash or TRX depending on circumstances.
For the broader Tron ecosystem, the listing carries some weight. Tron has overtaken Ethereum as the leading network for USDT stablecoin, with its USDT supply reaching $94.27 billion. A regulated, staked ETF wrapper could attract institutional capital that has so far remained on the sidelines of the $TRX market.

Mecânicas do Fundo de Seguros Verificadas On-Chain
@dominic_w, fundador da @dfinity Foundation, confirmou a execução bem-sucedida da mecânica do fundo de seguros do Multi/Dex Finance no Protocolo da Internet Computer ($ICP). A confirmação ocorreu durante a fase de testes contínua do "Play Mode" da plataforma, lançada pela DFINITY em 11 de julho como uma exchange totalmente on-chain e multi-chain no Internet Computer.
Durante os testes, o aumento dos preços da plataforma desencadeou liquidações de posições vendidas. As penalidades de 5% geradas por essas liquidações fluíram diretamente para o fundo de seguros do protocolo, um mecanismo projetado para absorver dívidas ruins. O processo foi executado automaticamente e de forma verificável on-chain, sem necessidade de intervenção manual.
