“The Canary Staked TRX ETF brings investors exposure to one of the world’s largest blockchain settlement networks through a registered exchange-traded structure, while also enabling investors to benefit from potential staking rewards,” said Steven McClurg, CEO of Canary Capital. “As stablecoin adoption continues to grow globally, TRON has become a critical piece of the infrastructure powering digital asset payments and settlement. We believe investors are increasingly looking beyond digital assets themselves and toward the networks driving real-world blockchain adoption.”
TRON has emerged as one of the leading blockchain networks for stablecoin activity, supporting more than $94 billion in circulating Tether (USDT). The chain also processes the highest USDT transfer volume of any blockchain, totaling approximately $5.6 trillion year-to-date. Known for its speed, scalability, and low transaction costs, the TRON network serves as critical infrastructure for decentralized finance, global payments, and blockchain-based applications. The TRON network is governed by TRON DAO, the community-governed Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps).
“The launch of the Canary Staked TRX ETF demonstrates the growing recognition of the TRON network as critical infrastructure for the global digital economy and provides institutional investors with a new way to access a network that is already powering real-world financial activity at scale,” said Justin Sun, Founder of TRON. “We appreciate Canary Capital’s leadership in bringing TRX to the ETF market and welcome innovations that broaden investor participation in the TRON network while advancing the integration of blockchain infrastructure into traditional financial markets.”
With the launch of the Canary Staked TRX ETF (TRXS), Canary Capital continues its mission to make digital asset investing simple, secure, and accessible while expanding investor access beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum into the next generation of blockchain infrastructure.

Disclosures and Risk
The Canary Staked TRX ETF (Ticker: TRXS) is an exchange-traded product that is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and therefore is not subject to the same regulations and protections as ETFs and mutual funds registered under the 1940 Act. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. An investment in TRXS is subject to a high degree of risk and heightened volatility and is not suitable for investors who cannot afford the loss of their entire investment.
The Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses should be considered before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information, and it may be obtained at https://canaryetfs.com/trxs/prospectus/. Read it carefully before investing.
An investment in TRXS is not a direct investment in TRX. Staking rewards are not indicative of the Fund’s performance, are not guaranteed, and may change frequently, including experiencing significant declines.Digital assets, such as TRX, are a relatively new asset class, and the market for digital assets is subject to rapid changes and uncertainty. Digital assets are largely unregulated and digital asset investments may be more susceptible to fraud and manipulation than more regulated investments.
TRXS is subject to rapid price swings, including as a result of actions and statements by influencers and the media, change of assets, and other factors. There is no assurance that TRXS will maintain its value over the long-term.
Staking provides the Trust with the opportunity to create and earn additional TRX. The Trust will be entitled to all TRX generated by the Trust’s staking, after deduction of certain staking-related expenses. This additional TRX will increase the net assets of the Trust, benefiting Shareholders. Certain of such TRX may be treated as income to the Trust and may be held for future distribution to Shareholders, subject to procedures and requirements disclosed elsewhere in the Prospectus.
Staking comes with a risk of loss of TRX. None of the Fund’s assets, including any staked assets, are subject to the protections enjoyed by depositors with Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or SIPC member institutions. The staked assets may also be subject to “slashing” penalties. Slashings occur when a validator attests to two different histories of the chain and penalties occur when a validator is offline for a prolonged period of time. The Fund itself will not engage in staking activities, including the operation of a validator node. Instead, the staking program will be administered by the Fund’s sponsor, who will utilize service providers including the custodians and staking providers. While the Fund’s sponsor does not expect the activities of the staking providers to result in slashing penalties, there can be no guarantee that slashing penalties will not occur. Furthermore, the custodians’ and staking providers’ liability to the Fund for the actions associated with the Staking Program is limited, and the custodians and staking providers may lack the assets or insurance in order to support the recovery of any losses incurred. Accordingly, there can be no guarantee that the Fund would recover any of its staked assets, or the value thereof, if it is subject to slashing or penalties.
The Fund is new with a limited operating history.

On August 27, Sun joined Bonnie Chang, Founder and Host of Bonnie Blockchain, on the Nakamoto Stage for “The Globalization of Bitcoin Capital.” The discussion focused on Bitcoin’s growing role in global capital markets as access expands through investment products, corporate treasuries and institutional infrastructure.
Sun said Bitcoin has moved well beyond its early years as an experimental technology and now plays a more established role as a global monetary asset and store of value. He also said Bitcoin’s traditional four-year cycle could become less pronounced as institutional flows, derivatives, global liquidity and macroeconomic conditions play a greater role in shaping the market.
“TRON is highly related to daily stablecoin payments,” said Sun. “The network continues to grow, with more than $94 billion in USDT on TRON, driven by real-world usage and continued growth across the ecosystem.”
The conversation also examined the relationship between Bitcoin and stablecoins. Sun described Bitcoin and stablecoins as complementary, with Bitcoin serving as a store of value while stablecoins are used for payments and settlement. He pointed to sustained stablecoin activity on TRON as evidence that demand for digital dollars can remain strong regardless of broader crypto market conditions.
Sun also addressed longer-term technological shifts affecting blockchain networks, including quantum computing and AI. He highlighted TRON’s work on post-quantum signature technology on the Nile testnet and said the industry should begin preparing for future security risks as quantum computing advances. On AI, Sun said autonomous agents could eventually become active participants in the digital economy, creating demand for systems that allow AI agents to hold assets, make payments and interact directly with financial applications. He said blockchain’s transparent and verifiable infrastructure could become more relevant as AI systems gain greater economic autonomy.
Later that afternoon, Sun joined Sean Hagan of BMTV for a second fireside discussion at The Deep, Bitcoin Asia’s VIP stage, where he discussed how his views on Bitcoin have evolved, opportunities across digital assets and Bitcoin’s potential role in global finance.

]]>The event, titled “Cryptoassets, From Tracing to Recovery: Cooperation for the Recovery and Custody of Cryptoassets,” brought together more than 100 senior participants from Brazil’s regulatory, law-enforcement, prosecutorial, and judicial institutions, including representatives from the Central Bank of Brazil, Public Prosecutor’s Offices across the country, the Federal Revenue Service, and the National Council of Justice. Discussions focused on digital crime, crypto asset recovery, stablecoins, new typologies of illicit activity, and approaches to prevention, investigation, and risk analysis in digital operations.
TRON DAO was represented by Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson, and John O. Hurston, General Counsel for TRON, who contributed to sessions examining blockchain infrastructure, transaction transparency, and cross-sector cooperation in the investigation and recovery of digital assets.
Elfarra participated in the session “The Blockchain Ecosystem,” providing an overview of how the TRON blockchain operates and discussing transaction transparency, stablecoins, and blockchain traceability. The session examined how the transparency of public blockchain networks can help law-enforcement authorities trace transactions and better understand the movement of digital assets. Elfarra also highlighted industry-led initiatives such as T3 Financial Crime Unit (T3 FCU) and their role in efforts to identify and address illicit activity involving digital assets.
Hurston spoke on the panel “Crypto Asset Recovery through Cross-Sector Cooperation: Freezing, Seizure, and Restitution of Funds,” moderated by Lorena Bittencourt, Public Prosecutor at the Goiás State Prosecutor’s Office and Auxiliary Member of CNMP. The panel also included Deborah Di Lullo, Blockchain Investigator and Law Enforcement Liaison at Tether; Lister Caldas Filho, Public Prosecutor at the São Paulo State Prosecutor’s Office; and Fabiano Gonçalves Cossermelli Oliveira, Public Prosecutor at the Rio de Janeiro State Prosecutor’s Office. The discussion examined how public authorities, law-enforcement agencies, and private-sector participants can coordinate efforts to trace, freeze, seize, and recover digital assets while strengthening investigative processes and risk mitigation.
The forum marked TRON DAO’s first engagement with CNMP and helped establish direct institutional relationships with Brazilian authorities. TRON was the only blockchain represented at the event, allowing TRON to bring a technical perspective on blockchain infrastructure to discussions with law-enforcement and prosecutorial authorities.
“Engagements like this help build direct, constructive relationships with public institutions and give authorities a better understanding of how blockchain technology works in practice,” said Elfarra. “As Brazil develops its approach to digital assets, TRON looks forward to sharing technical expertise and supporting regulation that is familiar with and informed by how the technology works in practice.”
The second day of the event featured dedicated training for law-enforcement and prosecutorial authorities, providing an opportunity for participants to examine practical approaches to investigating digital asset activity and addressing emerging forms of digital crime.
As Brazil continues to develop its approach to digital assets, TRON DAO remains committed to supporting informed policymaking through continued engagement with public institutions and constructive dialogue on secure, transparent approaches to digital assets.

]]>Latest data shows that XRP spot ETF recorded net inflows of approximately $39.78 million last week, marking the best weekly performance since May. Notably, the single-day net inflow on August 21 reached $18.38 million, the highest level since May 14. This renewed capital flow indicates that institutional investor demand for XRP exposure is recovering.
As ETF inflows continue and XRP prices rebound, concerns about potential price drops have led more investors to consider a practical question: beyond simply waiting for price appreciation, are there more diversified ways to capture long-term returns from digital assets?
Against this backdrop, an increasing number of investors are turning to the EX DeFi cloud mining platform, seeking to explore additional revenue streams through cloud mining and yield aggregation mechanisms without having to sell their digital assets.
XRP ETF Inflows Finally See a Significant Rebound
Previously, XRP ETF inflows had been relatively sluggish; there were no inflows on seven of the first eleven trading days in August. However, capital began returning to the XRP spot ETF market on August 18, with a net inflow of $5.81 million recorded that day.
Inflows subsequently accelerated. On August 20, XRP spot ETFs saw a single-day net inflow of approximately $13.24 million, rising further to $18.38 million on August 21, bringing the total weekly net inflow to $39.78 million. With the continued entry of new capital, the cumulative net inflow for XRP spot ETFs since their launch has risen to approximately $1.56 billion.
This shift has largely coincided with the rebound in XRP’s price. After holding support near the $1.00 mark, XRP surged rapidly—rising by approximately 70% in just a few days to peak at $1.70—before pulling back to around $1.50 due to profit-taking. This trend highlights the return of ETF capital as a key factor in the recent XRP market.
What signals do the continued inflows into XRP ETFs send?
Recent capital flow data indicates a significant improvement in demand for XRP ETFs.
Last week, nearly $40 million in new capital flowed into spot XRP ETFs, marking the strongest weekly performance since May. Concurrently, XRP’s price, spot trading volume, and market participation have all rebounded, signaling renewed market interest in the asset.
For long-term investors, sustained ETF inflows signify that XRP is attracting a more diversified capital base. Should institutional demand for allocation continue to rise alongside further improvements in the regulatory environment, market interest in XRP could increase even further.
However, given the substantial short-term gains and the formation of a clear resistance zone between $1.65 and $1.70, the asset’s ability to break through this level remains a key point to watch.

]]>Developed by DSA in collaboration with Professor Charles C.Y. Wang, Tandon Family Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School, and Giveback Backpack, the four-session program introduced high school students to real-world questions at the intersection of technology, markets, governance, and public policy.
The program concluded on Saturday, August 22, with a case study class on Axie Infinity and Sky Mavis co-founder Jeff Zirlin. Students examined the company’s business model and evolution while considering broader questions surrounding digital ownership, community-driven economies, leadership, and the challenges confronting businesses operating at the frontier of Web3.
Professor Wang, a leading scholar in accounting, digital assets, and capital markets, brought the case method into the high school classroom, giving students an opportunity to examine complex decisions through discussion, analysis, and debate. Rather than delivering traditional lectures, he challenged students to take positions, defend their reasoning, question one another’s assumptions, and work through the ambiguity inherent in real business decisions.
The four-session program explored digital assets, capital markets, trust, leadership, and the future of business in a Web3 world. Students examined cases involving Alibaba, Coinbase, and Wells Fargo, gaining exposure to different questions surrounding technology, finance, governance, leadership, and emerging business models.
Over the course of the program, students progressed from analyzing individual companies to considering broader questions about how technology can reshape markets, institutions, and business models. The case-based format gave students the opportunity to approach these questions not simply as observers, but as active participants in the discussion.
“Students learn best when they have the chance to apply ideas to the real world,” said Adrian Wall, Managing Director of DSA. “This program gave students the opportunity to move beyond learning about digital assets in the abstract. That is the lasting value of this program: equipping the next generation to engage critically and confidently with technologies that will increasingly influence business, public policy, and society.”
With the completion of the four-session program, DSA introduced students to a practical framework for thinking about some of the defining business and technology questions of the digital economy. The initiative is part of DSA’s broader educational mission to equip young people with the critical-thinking skills needed to understand emerging technologies and engage thoughtfully with the opportunities and challenges they present.

]]>Binance has announced that its flagship event, Binance Blockchain Week 2026, is coming back to Asia, with all roads leading to Bankgok, Thailand.
The organizers say that the event will be held between November 28 and 29 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center.
Last year, the event was held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, between December 4 and 5 and saw the debates between CZ and Bitcoin skeptic Peter Schiff go viral.
Binance co-CEO Richard Teng, Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple, and Michael Saylor of Strategy were among the speakers at the event, with Saylor making a case for Bitcoin in his speech.
There were also conversations that touched on institutional adoption, the place of regulation and AI and crypto, which have been a recurring theme in 2026.
Binance Blockchain Week has been held across various cities across Europe and Asia, with Istanbul, Paris, and Singapore hosting the event in the past.
According to Binance, the event is the pinnacle of more than 1,500 events the company has run worldwide. The organizers are expecting thousands of builders, institutional investors, fintech leaders, and policymakers over the two days.
The speakers confirmed so far include Teng, his co-CEO, Yi He, along with Eowyn Chen, Binance interim chief marketing officer.
Other speakers on the roster are SB Seker, head of APAC, Binance; Catherine Chen, head of Binance VIP and Institutional; and Thomas Gregory, the company’s vice president of payments and fiat. Early bird tickets are on sale for $19.
Thailand put some laws in place to distinguish digital assets and put some restrictions in place; however, it is getting more receptive to digital assets based on recent developments. In February, the country’s cabinet approved a Finance Ministry proposal to expand the assets permitted under the Derivatives Act to include digital assets.
Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said that change would strengthen recognition of crypto as an investment class.
Some analysts believe that the reform could eventually allow futures, options, and other structured contracts tied to digital assets. Separate ETF rules tied to that framework are expected to take effect in the third quarter of the year.
Blockchain analytics platform Elliptic described Thailand’s 2026 to 2028 strategic plan as placing digital assets at the center of its capital market strategy. This is eight years after the country’s original licensing decree created a supervised environment for exchanges and custodians.
The Finance Ministry has also waived capital gains tax on digital assets traded through licensed platforms until the end of 2029.
In the announcement, SB Seker said, “The most interesting thing happening in Asia isn’t just the scale of adoption, it’s that we’re seeing workable models for how crypto operates under clear regulation.”
Seker added, “Different jurisdictions are moving at different speeds, testing different approaches, and BBW Bangkok 2026 provides a venue to examine what supports consumer protection, market integrity, and infrastructure that works at scale.”
The event’s agenda points to Bitcoin’s institutional footprint, stablecoins as payment rails, tokenized stocks, AI integration, and cross-border payments, among others, themes that track products Binance has already shipped this year. This also includes gold and silver options that were recently launched in July through its Abu Dhabi-regulated Nest Exchange.
Exchanges reportedly processed $1.32 trillion in perpetual futures tied to traditional assets in the first five months of 2026, up from $104.21 billion for all of 2025, and Binance holds the largest share of that volume at 35.9%, according to CoinGecko data.
“This event will showcase how Binance is evolving from a trading platform into a financial superapp connecting both worlds,” Teng said.
Yi He added that the company’s next wave of adoption, which it calls Road to 3 Billion, depends on products that deliver utility in daily life, whether in cross-border payments, tokenized securities or digital portfolios.
She added, “At BBW Bangkok 2026, we’ll examine the trends driving adoption and explore what the industry needs to do to make digital assets more accessible, trusted, and relevant to a broader audience—while delivering the sophistication institutional players demand.”
]]>TRON has established itself as one of the most widely used networks for USDT settlement, with USDT-TRC20 accepted for deposits and withdrawals across a broad range of major exchanges and payment services. That breadth of acceptance has made it a common choice for exchange-to-exchange transfers and for dollar-denominated payments in emerging markets, supporting the reliable movement of stablecoins at scale. By integrating TRON natively, Bitcoin.com Wallet users can transact with counterparties who ask for a TRC20 address without leaving the wallet or installing anything new.
“Our users do not think in terms of chains. They think about who they need to pay and what that person asked them for. A very large number of those requests say USDT on TRON, and until now we could not answer them. That is the gap this closes,” said Bitcoin.com CEO Corbin Fraser.
With this launch, Bitcoin.com Wallet users can:
“With more than $90 billion in USDT circulating on TRON and $23 billion in daily transfer volume, TRON is already a leading network for stablecoin payments,” said Justin Sun, Founder of TRON. “Users want to hold and spend stablecoins on TRON directly from the wallets they use every day. Bitcoin.com Wallet’s integration meets that demand, bringing TRON’s settlement infrastructure into a familiar wallet and making stablecoin payments faster, simpler, and more accessible.”
Bitcoin.com Wallet users can now access TRX and USDT-TRC20 natively, without bridging assets, managing a separate wallet, or leaving the mobile application. TRON’s functionality is now built into a wallet people already use for their everyday crypto activity. The TRON integration is available now on iOS, Android, and web.

]]>ZUG, SWITZERLAND, Aug. 17, 2026 — SODAX, the cross-network execution and liquidity infrastructure that succeeded the ICON Network, saw its token SODA begin trading worldwide on Kraken today across the Sonic and Arbitrum blockchain networks, following the exchange’s completed conversion of ICX balances to SODA at a 1:1 rate. Kraken will support SODA trading against USD and EUR.
Kraken paused ICX trading and funding on Aug. 7 and completed the migration between Aug. 10 and 14, matching the schedule the exchange set out in July. SODA has also traded on other venues, including Coinone and Bound Exchange, since earlier this year.
“Every completed listing is a vote of confidence in where SODAX is headed, not only where it started,” said Min Kim, founder of SODAX. “Kraken gives SODA a permanent global home, and a level of access that matters to holders old and new.”
SODAX is an execution system that lets money move, lend, trade and settle across blockchain networks without requiring users or builders to manage bridges or wrapped assets. That cross-network model now spans 20 networks, including Ethereum, Solana, Sui and Bitcoin, with applications across them integrating SODAX infrastructure to ship features and extend their own reach in the market.
The design separates execution from custody. Independent solvers compete to fill user intents, meaning the specific outcomes a user wants, such as a trade or a loan, while SODAX coordinates routing and settlement. At the center of this execution system and the fees it generates is its governance token, SODA.
SODA’s total supply is capped at 1.5 billion tokens, has no token emissions and cannot be increased. A share of every fee generated by routing transactions through the SODAX system is directed to several fee-generated growth objectives: 20% contributes to a programmatic buy-back and burn that permanently removes SODA from circulating supply and drives the token’s deflationary nature, 20% is directed to SODA Staking rewards and the remaining 60% is directed to the SODAX DAO and its liquidity inventory.
This design sits within SODAX’s broader strategy as infrastructure for modern money. Wallets, DEXs, lending protocols and yield platforms integrate the SODAX SDK to ship cross-network features across 20 blockchain networks. As additional partners and routes are served by the infrastructure, this drives increased volume and fees directed toward the growth flywheel.
In addition to serving execution for partner products across its 20 integrated blockchain networks, the SODA token also exists natively on each of these networks, with trade routed through the execution system’s shared unified cross-network liquidity. Of these, Sonic and Arbitrum are supported by Kraken at launch, giving more options for trade to the market.
“As new blockchain networks keep emerging, fragmentation only accelerates, and there are not enough systems built to service all of them,” said Kim. “SODAX is built to meet that as it happens. Trading access on Kraken and maintaining our compliance with regulatory standards are part of the same story to create a rigorous execution system that is built to last.”
Alongside the listing, SODAX has also published its MiCA-compliant crypto-asset whitepaper for SODA, notified to the Central Bank of Ireland as its competent authority and recognized across the European Economic Area (EEA).
Paired with the Kraken listing, this step allows SODA to be traded worldwide at launch, meeting the exchange’s standard of token compliance. The industry has continued to experience shock and consolidation around this new regulatory baseline in Europe. This filing (ID 3532007) supports SODA being offered and admitted to trading on regulated venues across the EU, and reaffirms SODAX’s approach to meeting the shifting regulatory expectations of the industry and operating transparently within Europe’s crypto regulatory framework.
