ETHLend Announces Launch of New Parent Company 2069

Founders behind popular Swiss-based decentralized digital asset-backed lending platform ETHLend, today announced the launch of Aave, a new technology company focused on empowering people through innovation. The name Aave, which comes from the Finnish word for “ghost,” was chosen because the brand continues to intrigue users through its evolving and imaginative technology. The technology-based venture intends to fill the gaps left by centralized fintech industry players such as PayPal, Skrill, and Coinbase, by introducing new products and services, such as Aave Pocket, Aave Lending (SaaS), Aave Gaming, Aave Custody, and Aave Clearing.

The executive roles will remain the same with ETHLend becoming a subsidiary brand under Aave. Stani Kulechov will stay on as CEO, Jordan Lazaro Gustave as COO, and Nolvia Serrano as CMO. Mika Söyring will join as CFO and Ville Valkonen as CCO. Mika previously served as the CFO of health technology company Revenio Group Corporation (formerly Done Solutions Corporation) and has extensive experience as an entrepreneur and a financial specialist. Ville previously operated a legal consulting firm that focused on start-ups in Finland and also worked for law firms, focusing heavily on SMEs and providing counseling on contract matters.

Stani Kulechov, CEO of Aave said, “By integrating our innovative technology into the services already offered by traditional institutions, we can transform the way people interact and provide new products and services that will help them seamlessly achieve their goals at a lower cost, ultimately giving them access to new opportunities that have not been possible before.”

“Aave is a pioneer in the lending industry. As ETHLend, Aave was the first in the space to provide a solution to those in need of liquidity and unlock what was previously viewed as unassailable funds,” said Andrew Karos, CEO and Founder of BlueFire Capital and an Aave customer. “It’s very satisfying to watch them evolve. As a U.S.-based market maker, I can confirm that they understand the level of importance in policy, procedure, and safety, and look ahead with much enthusiasm for the future of our working relationship.”

Aave’s portfolio of products range across several industries, including technology, finance, and games. The company will continue to power its existing products in addition to new ones aimed at Millennials and Generation Z.  Several products under Aave’s line include:

  • Aave Pocket is an ambient account innovation, and one of the first products developed by Aave to serve the gig economy and micropayments industry, removing the need for credit cards and bank-to-bank fees between online merchants/developer entrepreneurs, and their end-user customers. All transactions stay where the user is earning and spending, contained within an application, enabling true peer-to-peer payment, even across international borders.
  • ETHLend is a decentralized financial marketplace for peer-to-peer digital asset-backed loans operating on the Ethereum blockchain using smart contracts. ETHLend solves the liquidity challenge of being cash-poor, but crypto-asset rich. Borrowers can request secure loans by pledging their cryptocurrency assets as collateral to receive spendable funds. This enables borrowers to retain their exposure on cryptocurrency without the need for selling the assets when the borrower has sudden expenses.
  • Aave Lending, inspired by ETHLend, is a turnkey solution for the digital asset-backed lending market. Aave Lending solves the issues that follow digital asset storing and digital asset-backed loan management for creditors. As a SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) solution, creditors can easily start a digital asset-backed lending business while Aave takes care of secure collateral storage, notifications, and liquidation upon margin calls.
  • Aave Custody, currently available for use, is designed for institutional or private investors and serves as a custodian for storing digital assets. Aave stores private keys by following the highest and most innovative security standards. Funds can be moved in and out of custody on a daily basis.
  • Aave Clearing is an over-the-counter (OTC) cryptocurrency clearing service for institutional investors and businesses who need to convert large amounts of cryptocurrency with speed and efficiency. The platform provides users with an easy-to-use interface and an API connection, giving them the ability to generate quote requests for cryptocurrencies as well as exchange their cryptocurrency for traditional currencies.
  • Aave Gaming is an innovative game studio focused on creating a new gaming experience using Blockchain, Smart Contracts and Mixed Reality.

“In the last decade, legacy industries have experienced a major change. Banking is no longer limited to traditional institutions,” said Jordan Lazaro Gustave, COO of Aave. “As a team of developers and creative thinkers, Aave is no stranger to these market forces. By integrating emerging technologies we will continue to offer secure and transparent applications, with reduced costs, to instill trust and confidence within our users, while delivering an experience they can enjoy.”

Gensyn Launches $AI Token Sale on Sonar 4924

The token sale offers 3% of the token supply, a bonus multiplier for Testnet participants, and the opportunity to receive a Gensyn branded GPU workstation. https://token.gensyn.network/

$AI Details:

The Gensyn Foundation (“Gensyn”) today launches its $AI token sale on Sonar, marking a major milestone ahead of its upcoming Mainnet. The sale introduces the native token that will coordinate payments, staking & security, and governance across the Gensyn network.

The a16z-backed, decentralised AI network is preparing for Mainnet and launching the $AI token sale. The Gensyn Testnet has already demonstrated rapid traction, including:

  • 2,000,000+ AI models trained
  • 165,000+ users
  • 90,000,000+ transactions (575,000 per day)

The $AI token is the utility currency for the Mainnet network, a network where anyone can contribute AI compute, training signals, models, or evaluation criteria and where performance is priced transparently in real time. The combination of deterministic verification, open evaluation, and decentralised compute forms a market-driven system for continual learning, directed by true economic interest and supplied by anyone, or any system, in the world..

The sale offers 300,000,000 tokens (3 percent of supply) through an English auction with a valuation floor of $1 million FDV and a valuation cap of $1 billion FDV, matching the price of Gensyn’s last a16z-led funding round two months ago. The sale runs on Ethereum Mainnet with USDC or USDT and a $100 minimum bid, while tokens will be claimed on the Gensyn Network (L2).

About the Testnet Multiplier:

In addition to priority allocation, verified Testnet users will also receive a bonus token multiplier on their purchase amount, taken from a 2% reward pool. The exact multiplier will be based on each user’s participation throughout the Gensyn Testnet, as well as their bid amount in the sale. Higher participation and bid amounts equal a higher multiplier, with the majority of the multiplier coming from their Testnet participation. Multipliers will grant additional tokens on top of the purchase amount for no extra cost.

“We’ve had huge success testing our infrastructure and applications on testnet and we’re ready to move to the next phase, operating with real value and game theoretic security on mainnet. Doing a public sale ahead of launch allows us to focus on fair distribution and prioritise community members who have supported the testnet and show conviction in our thesis.”- Ben Fielding, Co-Founder and CEO, Gensyn AI

Bitnomial Launches First-Ever Stablecoin Margin Collateral with RLUSD, Expands Digital Asset Support to XRP 1703

Bitnomial, Inc. (“Bitnomial”), a U.S. derivatives exchange company, today announced a historic milestone as Bitnomial Clearinghouse, LLC, the only U.S. registered derivatives clearing organization (DCO) accepting digital assets as native margin collateral, becoming the first to accept stablecoins. Bitnomial is launching support for Ripple USD (RLUSD) and expanding its digital asset margin program to include XRP.

This expansion builds on Bitnomial’s groundbreaking launch of crypto margin deposits in September 2025, making the CFTC-regulated Bitnomial Exchange, LLC, and clearinghouse, Bitnomial Clearinghouse, LLC, the only U.S. regulated derivatives market infrastructure accepting stablecoins and a broader range of digital assets as margin collateral.

RLUSD and XRP margin deposits are now available for institutional clients trading leveraged perpetuals, futures, and options on Bitnomial Exchange. Retail traders will gain access to RLUSD and XRP margin deposits through Botanical, Bitnomial’s retail trading platform. With RLUSD stablecoin support, traders can now margin their positions with a USD-pegged digital asset, providing seamless capital efficiency while maintaining the benefits of blockchain-native settlement.

At the Ripple Swell conference in New York, Luke Hoersten, CEO of Bitnomial said “Adding RLUSD and XRP as margin collateral represents a major evolution in how traders can deploy their digital assets, RLUSD brings stablecoin efficiency to our margin system, allowing traders to hold USD-equivalent positions on-chain while accessing our full suite of derivatives products. Combined with XRP support, this gives our clients unprecedented flexibility in how they manage capital across their trading strategies. This is a natural extension of our partnership with Ripple and our commitment to building the most capital-efficient derivatives infrastructure in the U.S. market.”

“The addition of RLUSD and XRP further enhances the capital efficiency advantages available to traders on Bitnomial Exchange,” added Michael Dunn, President of Bitnomial Exchange, LLC. “Stablecoins represent a superior payment mechanism for both retail traders and institutions alike, offering the stability of USD with the speed and efficiency of blockchain settlement. With our expanded margin collateral options, traders can now leverage their stablecoin holdings and XRP positions to access the full range of CFTC-regulated crypto derivatives, reducing the friction of moving between different asset types.”

“With today’s announcement adding native support for RLUSD and XRP as margin collateral, Bitnomial cements its position as one of the most forward-thinking derivatives exchanges in the U.S,” said Jack McDonald, SVP Stablecoins at Ripple. “Stablecoins are moving from primarily speculative use cases to real world applications, with RLUSD, as a trusted tier-1 USD-backed stablecoin, leading the pack.”

Bitnomial continues to lead innovation in U.S. crypto derivatives markets. As the first to launch regulated perpetual futures in the U.S., the first to accept digital assets as margin collateral, and now the first to accept stablecoins as margin collateral, Bitnomial has consistently pioneered capital-efficient market infrastructure. The combination of RLUSD stablecoin margin, XRP support, and Bitnomial’s existing Bitcoin and Ether margin deposits creates the most comprehensive digital asset margin system available on a U.S. regulated exchange. This initiative provides significant benefits to crypto-native funds, institutional traders, and market makers who can now deploy their digital asset portfolios more efficiently while maintaining full regulatory compliance.

All Bitnomial futures and options contracts are offered by, and subject to the rules of, Bitnomial Exchange, LLC, and cleared through Bitnomial Clearinghouse, LLC. RLUSD and XRP margin collateral acceptance is subject to all applicable regulatory approvals.

About Bitnomial, Inc.

Bitnomial, Inc. is a digital asset derivatives exchange company that owns and operates U.S. CFTC-regulated exchange (DCM), clearinghouse (DCO), and brokerage (FCM) subsidiaries.

Stablecoins New Era Begins: Inside the Next Wave of Institutional Adoption and Infrastructure Competition 1543

The stablecoin market is entering a new phase of transformation. In the landmark joint report by Alchemy Pay and Gate Research, “The New Era of Stablecoins: A Comprehensive Study on Compliance, Innovation, and Adoption”, the report dives deep into how stablecoins are reshaping the global financial infrastructure, from its exponential growth and regulatory evolution to the intensifying competition at the infrastructure layer.

Exponential Growth and Institutional Momentum

As of August 2025, the total capitalization of stablecoins has exceeded USD 280 billion, representing more than a 660-fold increase since early 2019. Annual on-chain settlement volumes have surpassed USD 30 trillion, placing stablecoins on par with traditional global payment systems such as SWIFT and Visa in terms of transaction throughput.

This growth reflects both technological maturity and regulatory acceleration. The implementation of key frameworks, such as the GENIUS Act, Stablecoin Ordinance, and MiCA, has initiated what the report identifies as the “Age of Compliance.”

The report also highlights the growing participation of major financial institutions including PayPal, Visa, and Mastercard, each embedding stablecoin functionality into retail, enterprise, and cross-border payment systems. These integrations signal the ongoing convergence between TradFi and DeFi, underscoring the transition of stablecoins from speculative instruments to operational assets within global payment and settlement ecosystems.

Meanwhile, innovation within the stablecoin sector continues to accelerate. While USDT and USDC remain dominant, emerging models such as yield-bearing stablecoins are rapidly gaining market share. The study identifies a structural evolution from single-purpose payment tools to a “Three-in-One Model”—Peg + Yield + Application—that extends stablecoin utility into yield generation, real-world asset integration, and enterprise use cases such as supply chain finance and payroll settlement.

From Tokens to Infrastructure: The New Battlefield

The narrative of competition is shifting. It’s no longer about which stablecoin dominates, it’s about who controls the rails. The report calls this the move from “token competition” to “infrastructure competition.” As stablecoins become integral to the global payments landscape, control over settlement infrastructure has emerged as the next competitive frontier. Leading players like Tether, Circle, Stripe, and Alchemy Pay are developing blockchain architectures to establish themselves as dominant settlement networks.

This strategic evolution reflects a broader recognition: in the future of digital finance, the competitive advantage will lie not merely in token issuance, but in control of the infrastructure that enables liquidity, settlement, and compliance across markets and jurisdictions.

Alchemy Chain: Building the Stablecoin Settlement Hub for Global Fiat

Within this emerging infrastructure race, the report spotlights Alchemy Chain, a Layer 1 blockchain developed by Alchemy Pay. Drawing upon years of operational experience in the fiat-crypto payment sector, Alchemy Chain represents a practice-driven approach to infrastructure design.

The blockchain’s architecture centers on a clear, efficient flow—Fiat A → Stablecoin → Fiat B—positioning stablecoins as instant settlement bridges for global cross-border transactions. Key technical innovations include:

  • FIFO (First-In-First-Out) transaction ordering, ensuring fairness and eliminating “pay-to-prioritize” congestion.
  • On-chain real-time FX rates, with validator nodes directly integrating price feeds at the consensus layer to reduce oracle latency.
  • Block-Wing hybrid storage system, combining on-chain recording of essential transaction data with decentralized off-chain storage for auxiliary files, ensuring scalability and cost efficiency.

Strategically, Alchemy Chain diverges from general-purpose blockchains. Rather than competing with ecosystems like Ethereum, it aims to redefine global settlement infrastructure, leveraging Web3 technology to rebuild payment systems traditionally represented by SWIFT. Backed by Alchemy Pay’s already built network of 3 million users across 173 countries, and supported by connections with Visa, Mastercard, local mobile wallets and global banking rails, Alchemy Chain is positioned to serve as a neutral, compliant settlement layer connecting stablecoins and fiat currencies worldwide.

The Future Trajectory: Compliance, Multipolarity, and Integration

The report concludes that stablecoins are transitioning through three structural shifts:

  • From explosive growth to compliance establishment;
  • From token-centric competition to infrastructure-centric competition;
  • From U.S. dollar dominance to regional multipolarity.

Over the next three to five years, the report predicts that the institutions capable of creating a closed-loop ecosystem, integrating compliance frameworks, proprietary infrastructure, and scalable applications, will define the next generation of the global value network.

ANOME Unveils AnoMEME: A Meme Token Card LaunchPad Built on ERC-404: Where Meme Tokens Become Meme Cards 938

ANOME, the Web3 ecosystem uniting NFTs, GameFi, and DeFi, today announced the upcoming launch of AnoMEME, a core subsystem within the ANOME ecosystem that redefines how meme tokens are created, used, and experienced on-chain.

In the fast-moving world of crypto, speed and creativity determine who shapes the narrative. ANOME’s AnoMEME platform is a bold answer to that challenge — a first-of-its-kind LaunchPad where meme tokens are born as playable, ownable Meme Cards, powered by the innovative ERC-404 standard that merges fungible and non-fungible functionality into a single asset class.

From Token Launches to Cultural Creation

Traditional meme-token platforms end the journey the moment a contract is deployed. AnoMEME marks the beginning of a new one.

With just a few clicks, creators can connect their wallet, name their meme, upload artwork, and deploy a fully functional ERC-404 token, instantly creating a Meme Card: a tradeable, on-chain representation of their idea that evolves as the community grows. As a fully on-chain LaunchPad,

AnoMEME lowers the barrier between token issuance and cultural participation, enabling anyone to launch a meme token in minutes, no coding required, and instantly transform it into a playable asset within the ANOME ecosystem.

Every Meme Card minted on AnoMEME is not only a token but also a game-ready asset. It can battle other Meme Cards, serve as the foundation for NFT collections, and power future gameplay mechanics: all while existing transparently and verifiably on-chain.

This is where meme creation transcends speculation: when issuing a token is no longer just issuing a token, but the beginning of creating a new world.

A New Layer of Utility, Culture, and Engagement

To maintain balance, Meme Cards will operate in a dedicated battle system separate from ANOME’s official cards. This allows creators and communities to experiment, compete, and build their own ecosystems, without impacting the core gameplay economy.

The result is a new paradigm for meme tokens: assets that are functional, interactive, and culture-driven. By combining the virality of meme tokens with on-chain utility and community-driven storytelling, AnoMEME fosters deeper user engagement, stronger liquidity potential, and continuous cultural co-creation, positioning itself at the center of the next wave of meme innovation.

Launching Soon

AnoMEME — Where Meme Tokens Become Meme Cards — is set to launch on the BNB Smart Chain in the coming weeks.
