Chainlink2026-09-03 22:34:28Chainlink CCIP Cross-Chain Token Standard Expands to Avalanche and PolygonChainlink has extended its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) infrastructure to the Avalanche and Polygon networks, alongside introducing a cross-chain token standard. The standard aims to provide a more streamlined solution for programmable token transfers between these two networks, targeting developers and reducing reliance on fragile wrapped assets and one-off bridges.920
JPMorgan2026-09-03 06:53:03JPMorgan executive says custody is becoming the bridge between traditional finance and digital marketsJPMorgan Asia-Pacific custody head Christina Fienga said at the FinTechOn 2026 & AFA Summit on Sept. 2 that digital assets are no longer just an asset class and are turning into a foundational layer for global financial infrastructure. In her view, the custody business is shifting from passive safekeeping to a more central role that links traditional and digital markets. Fienga said two issues will determine whether institutions adopt digital financial assets at scale: regulatory implementation and interoperability across markets, platforms, and legal regimes. She also pointed to tokenized collateral mobilization as one of the clearest real-world use cases, arguing that it can improve transfer speed, support round-the-clock operations, and raise capital efficiency. On digital cash, she rejected the idea of a single winner and said tokenized deposits, stablecoins, central bank digital currencies, and fiat money are likely to coexist for a long time. She added that isolated systems would raise compliance costs and operational risk, making a unified control framework across different forms of digital money more practical for institutions.1140

Ethereum2026-08-24 15:24:47Ethereum Engineer Mislav Javor Joins Ethlabs to Work on Accounts and InteroperabilityNon-profit Ethereum R&D lab Ethlabs said Ethereum engineer Mislav Javor has joined the team to help advance the broader Ethereum ecosystem. According to Ethlabs, Javor has been building in Ethereum since 2016, is the founder of two startups, and co-authored the 2018 book "Developers Guide to Ethereum," which it described as one of the earliest works focused on EVM development. The lab said his main areas of expertise are account systems and interoperability, with much of his recent work sitting at the intersection of accounts, interoperability, and product design. Ethlabs said Javor will focus on platform-level work and on introducing powerful technologies in a gradual way, with the aim of making Ethereum easier to use now rather than only years from now. The group added that his work is intended to help close long-standing gaps between research and implementation, as well as between protocol and product, while expanding access to Ethereum without giving up its core value properties.1020
CZ2026-08-21 00:40:02CZ says tokenizing everything could help countries attract foreign capitalBinance founder Changpeng Zhao, widely known as CZ, said on Aug. 21 that "everything" should be tokenized, arguing that tokenized assets could become an important tool for countries seeking to raise funds or attract foreign direct investment. In a social media post cited by BlockBeats, CZ said governments and companies both want to sell tokenized stocks to global investors, which he sees as one of the clearest paths for tokenization to scale. CZ also said he supports pushing tokenization across all blockchains. While acknowledging that a multi-chain setup can create liquidity fragmentation, he said that approach may still be the fastest way to expand the tokenization market because multiple participants can help move the sector forward at the same time. He added that stronger interchangeability across issuers could ease some of the fragmentation, making interoperability a key factor in the market’s future development. Earlier, BNB Chain said the number of RWA holders on its network had reached 776,000, up about 370% over the past 30 days, putting it among the leaders in the sector.1200
Tokenized Dep2026-08-04 11:34:53Wells Fargo to Offer Tokenized Deposits to Corporate ClientsWells Fargo is preparing to offer tokenized deposits to corporate clients, according to The Wall Street Journal, as relayed by ChainCatcher. The bank plans to run the service on a blockchain network it built itself and says the system will be interoperable with other blockchain networks. Tokenized deposits represent traditional bank deposits as digital records on a blockchain. That structure lets money move faster and with greater transparency on-chain while the underlying value stays backed by the bank's deposit system. By placing deposit balances on a distributed ledger, the approach gives corporate clients a way to execute transfers and settle transactions directly on-chain without leaving the bank's deposit framework. The reported initiative is another indication that large banks are accelerating blockchain infrastructure work and exploring on-chain finance for corporate payments, treasury management, and cross-institution settlement. The plan was reported by ChainCatcher on Aug. 4, 2026. The bank has not disclosed a launch date for the service.1810
Cardano2026-08-04 07:51:12Cardano and Injective connect on testnet through IBCThe Cardano Foundation said in a post on X that Cardano and Injective have established a connection on testnet through IBC, the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol. The update indicates that the link has been completed in a testnet environment rather than on mainnet. According to the statement, ADA will be able to move into the Injective ecosystem, while INJ will also be able to enter the Cardano ecosystem. The two assets are expected to be usable across the two ecosystems under this testnet connection. The announcement came directly from the Cardano Foundation. No additional rollout details, timing beyond the testnet milestone, or production deployment information were disclosed in the source post.1860
