Crypto custody firm BitGo Holdings has officially launched an institutional-grade DeFi vault solution, enabling qualified institutions to access on-chain lending strategies within a regulated custody framework. Assets are held at BitGo Bank & Trust, with independent risk managers setting strategy parameters and risk controls. The vaults use receipt tokens to represent client positions. Decentralized lending protocol Morpho serves as the core infrastructure partner. BitGo previously expanded its DeFi capabilities through Narval integration (October 2025) and connections to Aave, Spark (June 2026). As a NYSE-listed company (BTGO), BitGo aims to resolve the operational conflicts between custody requirements, regulatory reporting, and DeFi’s permissionless nature.

MetaMask has announced the launch of 'Money Account,' a new self-custodial account that integrates stablecoin yield, payments, and trading into a single wallet system. Built on the Monad blockchain, the account uses the USD-pegged stablecoin mUSD as its core asset, automatically earning up to ~4% variable APY by allocating funds to lending protocols like Morpho (with Aave to follow). Users can directly spend, swap, trade perpetuals, or participate in prediction markets without manual fund transfers. This move signals MetaMask's transition from a wallet to a comprehensive financial platform.

The tokenized gold project XAUm is moving beyond simple tokenization to real-world utility. It has been integrated with Deeptrade on the Sui ecosystem for trading and with AnomaPay on BNB Chain for privacy payments. This marks a new phase for Real World Assets (RWA), shifting focus from 'asset tokenization' to 'asset usability,' emphasizing liquidity, tradability, and scenario expansion.

The Solana network is operating at peak performance with sustained throughput of 1,200–1,900 TPS and approximately 100 million non-vote daily transactions, generating $100 million in daily fee revenue. In 2025, the ecosystem's total application revenue hit $2.39 billion, a 46% year-over-year increase, with seven individual applications each earning over $100 million. Low fees are driving adoption, and daily active addresses fluctuate between 2 million and 5 million. The ecosystem has reached a depth comparable to Ethereum's multi-year development.

MetaMask has announced the launch of 'Money Account,' a new self-custodial account built on the Monad blockchain, with the core asset being the dollar-pegged stablecoin mUSD. Users can automatically earn a floating annualized yield of up to ~4% (via protocols like Morpho) while directly engaging in token swaps, perpetual contracts, and other trading activities. This move shifts MetaMask from a simple wallet toward a comprehensive financial platform, simplifying DeFi usage while raising considerations around self-custodial risk management.

The Dutch Public Prosecution Service has requested the Rotterdam District Court to declare cryptocurrency platform Knaken and its related entities bankrupt, citing 'public interest'. The platform has been offline since early June 2026, leaving approximately 30,000 customers unable to withdraw funds. It is currently under criminal investigation by the Netherlands Fiscal Information and Investigation Service (FIOD). Knaken operated euro-to-crypto exchange services without obtaining the required license from the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM). Prosecutors conducted searches and seized assets, with no arrests made so far. If the bankruptcy petition is approved, a court-appointed trustee will take over assets and determine creditor distribution.

Theo, an on-chain capital markets platform, has invested $20 million in Fidelity International's USD Digital Liquidity Fund (FILQ) through Swiss digital asset bank Sygnum, becoming the first crypto-native platform to allocate to this tokenized fund. The fund primarily invests in diversified short-term money market instruments. Theo's allocation represents a notable percentage of the fund's current on-chain AUM, reflecting the continued inflow of institutional capital into tokenized Treasuries and cash management products. This move marks a deepening integration between traditional finance and crypto infrastructure.
