Bullish says Qube, Vertalo and zerohash join issuer-sponsored token coalition

Crypto trading platform Bullish said Qube Research & Technologies, Vertalo and zerohash have joined the Issuer Sponsored Token Coalition, widening the group of market participants backing issuer-sponsored tokenized securities. Bullish said the coalition was formed on Sept. 24 together with Equiniti, Alpaca, Apex Fintech Solutions and DriveWealth. Its stated goal is to build standards and infrastructure to bring issuer tokens on-chain while preserving the core relationship between issuers and shareholders. The update adds three more firms to an initiative Bullish has framed around market structure for tokenized securities, with a focus on keeping the issuer-shareholder link intact as these assets move onto blockchain-based rails.

Zerohash launches AUTH to move crypto across linked accounts without wallet addresses

Crypto infrastructure firm Zerohash has introduced AUTH, a service designed to let users move digital assets between linked accounts without copying wallet addresses or selecting a blockchain network. The product was announced at the Money20/20 conference in Las Vegas and is aimed at reducing the number of steps required to complete a transfer. According to the company, AUTH supports crypto, stablecoins and blockchain-based securities such as tokenized stocks, and works across more than 600 connections. Zerohash’s developer documentation lists support for 639 wallets and four exchange or brokerage accounts, with Coinbase, Robinhood and Gemini already live and Kraken in beta. The launch comes while Zerohash is also trying to expand its regulatory standing. In July, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency returned the company’s application for a national trust bank charter, and Zerohash refiled a narrower application on Aug. 18. The filing remains pending. Founded in 2017, the Chicago-based company says it operates regulated entities in 51 U.S. jurisdictions and provides crypto infrastructure services to firms including Morgan Stanley’s E*Trade.

ZeroHash launches AUTH to replace wallet-address transfers with account-based onchain flows

ZeroHash has introduced AUTH at Money20/20 USA in Las Vegas, according to CoinDesk, positioning the product as an onchain identity verification and account-linking tool for crypto assets, stablecoins, and tokenized securities. The company said the product is designed to remove two common points of friction in blockchain transfers: copying long wallet addresses and manually selecting the correct network. AUTH shifts the transfer model from raw addresses to linked accounts. Users choose the accounts they want to connect, sign in with account credentials and multi-factor authentication, and then move assets directly onchain in a process ZeroHash described as near-instant. The product supports connections between self-custody and custodial accounts. ZeroHash said AUTH currently offers more than 600 connections across custodial and non-custodial accounts, reaching about 250 million users in more than 190 countries. Named platform partners include Robinhood, Gemini, Coinbase exchange and wallet, MetaMask, and Phantom. The company also appointed Ryan Beaudry, formerly executive vice president of global open finance products and operations at Mastercard, as general manager of AUTH. AUTH can be deployed as a standalone product or activated through ZeroHash’s existing SDK, with no separate integration required for platforms already using other ZeroHash products.

Visa Direct Moves Stablecoin Cross-Border Payouts Into Commercial Use With USDC Prefunding

Visa said on Oct. 15 that the stablecoin capabilities built into its Visa Direct payout network have moved from pilot programs into commercial operation. The first live implementation comes from Inyo Global, a Visa Direct processor that has launched stablecoin prefunding for cross-border payouts, allowing businesses to use USDC to fund transfers on a near real-time basis. According to Visa’s announcement, Inyo Global serves remittance firms, fintech companies, banks, and payment providers. The company has integrated the feature into its own platform, where clients can prefund cross-border payouts through existing Inyo APIs instead of relying only on traditional treasury funding windows. The service is available to eligible Visa Direct clients and partners, with access depending on qualification and region. Visa has been building toward this launch through a series of pilots. The Block previously reported that the company began testing stablecoin prefunding in September 2025 with support for USDC and EURC, then tested USDC payouts in November 2025 so eligible recipients could receive stablecoins directly. In August this year, Visa also announced a partnership with zerohash to support stablecoin funding and payouts through Visa Direct. The Block separately reported that Visa and Lloyds completed a seven-day USDC trial that settled $750,000 in payments, with funds reaching Visa within one hour, including over the weekend.

Zerohash makes second bid for an OCC trust bank charter

Crypto infrastructure firm Zerohash is making another attempt to secure a trust bank charter from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, according to CoinDesk. The company previously failed to win approval when it first sought a U.S. charter. It has now returned with what it described as a narrower application. The move marks a quick restart after the earlier setback, with Zerohash framing the new filing as more limited in scope than its first effort. The report did not disclose additional details on the revised application or any timeline for a decision.
