The platform tracks tokenized securities ownership and transfers, linking to Malaysia’s RENTAS+ system to settle corresponding payments in central bank money.
The contracts offer leveraged exposure rather than shares, with settlement tied to IPO filings, private-market valuations or revenue estimates…. Read the full story at The Defiant

Can a crypto casino offer big-multiplier potential without taking the traditional house cut? BiggerZ has introduced 100% RTP Originals, combining a theoretical 0% house edge with transparent game rules and verifiable results.
100% RTP Crypto Casino Games: How a 0% House Edge Works
Return to player (RTP) describes the theoretical share of wagers returned over a very large number of rounds. A 99% RTP game implies a 1% house edge; 100% RTP means no theoretical house edge on eligible play.
In practice, $1,000 in total wagering at 99% RTP implies $10 in expected loss; at 100%, it falls to zero. Individual sessions still vary: players can lose their stake or finish ahead.
BiggerZ 100% RTP Originals: Mines, Dice, Plinko, Hi-Lo and Keno
The BiggerZ Touch lobby displays 100% RTP badges on selected Originals, including Mines, Dice, Plinko, Hi-Lo and Keno. Not every BiggerZ Touch title has the same return: the lobby also displays 99% RTP on certain games. 100% RTP applies up to a $50,000 qualifying wagering threshold, after which it shifts to 99%.
Can You Win Big on 100% RTP Originals? Multipliers and Risk
Games such as Plinko and Limbo keep their multiplier outcomes, where a less likely result pays several times the wager. A 0% house edge does not guarantee a win or make high multipliers more likely. It changes the operator’s theoretical margin, not the volatility of each round.
100% RTP Originals vs High-RTP Slots: What Is the Difference?
Third-party online slots keep their own published RTP, volatility and bonus mechanics. A slot at 96% RTP carries a 4% theoretical house edge, versus zero on an eligible 100% RTP Original. The comparison concerns long-run mathematics, not which game will deliver the next big payout.
Provably Fair Crypto Casino Games: Verify BiggerZ Touch Results
Eligible BiggerZ Touch outcomes include a provably fair layer, allowing players to check each result independently. BiggerZ also publishes Live RTP across 10-minute, one-hour and 24-hour windows, showing recent payout activity, which does not predict the next result.
Where to Play 100% RTP Originals on BiggerZ Crypto Casino
Players can open BiggerZ Touch, select a game showing a 100% RTP badge and check its rules, limits and verification tools before placing a wager. The offer does not apply to slots, live casino, sports bets or prediction markets.
About BiggerZ: Crypto Casino, Sportsbook and Prediction Markets
BiggerZ combines crypto casino Originals, online slots, live casino, sports betting and prediction markets through one account and balance, with supported cryptocurrencies and selected fiat payment options. BiggerZ is operated by CDK PLAY INC SRL and licensed by the Government of the Autonomous Island of Anjouan, Union of Comoros.

Tokenization firm Securitize (SECZ) said it is bringing shares of Apple, Nvidia, Tesla and other major U.S. companies in the Solana (SOL) blockchain, joining a growing race to make traditional stocks available through crypto trading infrastructure.
The new product, called Securitize Stocks, will initially cover 12 companies, including Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Netflix, Circle, Strategy and Palantir, the firm said Thursday in a press release shared with CoinDesk.
At first, trading of those stock will be available on Securitize’s existing Solana-based platform, with Jump Trading providing liquidity and transactions settling in USDC stablecoin.
The stocks are also expected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange’s planned 24/7 digital trading platform and the upcoming OKXICE Tokenized Securities Venue, a joint venture between NYSE parent Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and crypto exchange OKX. Both expansions remain subject to the venues launching and meeting regulatory requirements.
Tokenized stocks push
The move comes as Wall Street firms are pushing to bring equities onto blockchain markets, allowing around-the-clock trading, faster settlement and potentially use of stocks as collateral in onchain lending markets.
In brief
- Google released Nano Banana 2.1 on Oct. 6, rolling it out in the Gemini app, Search’s AI Mode, Google Ads and its developer tools.
- Google’s own tests put it ahead of Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana Pro, including an infographic factuality score of 0.521 versus 0.179, but independent testing was not available at launch.
- Developer pricing is about half of Nano Banana 2’s, starting at $0.0336 for a standard 1K image.
Google on Tuesday released Nano Banana 2.1, the newest version of the AI model that turns a typed sentence into a picture, or edits a photo you already have.
It’s rolling out in the Gemini app, Google Search’s AI Mode, Google Ads and developer tools including Google AI Studio, Flow and Stitch.
The original Nano Banana made Gemini a hit. In September 2025, its trick of turning selfies into collectible figurines pushed Gemini to No. 1 on both major app stores, dethroning ChatGPT after nearly three years.
Alphabet’s market value topped $3 trillion in the same stretch.
Version 2 arrived in February, built on Gemini 3.1 Flash Image. Its big trick was checking Google Search before drawing real-world things, so a picture of an actual event or person had a better shot at being right.
Meet Nano Banana 2.1, our latest image generation and editing model 🍌
This upgraded version outperforms our previous models across the board, with notable leaps in visual design, mask-based editing, and subject consistency to help you create more natural-looking images. pic.twitter.com/d858DrzrF3
— Google (@Google) October 6, 2026
So what’s new in this update? Google points to three upgrades: better visual design, sharper mask-based editing (you mark one region and only that area changes), and better subject consistency, meaning a person or object still looks like itself after several edits.
On overall preference in text-to-image tests, Nano Banana 2.1 scored 1,050 ELO Points. Nano Banana 2 scored 990 and Nano Banana Pro scored 935. In the ELO system, the more points the better. It doesn’t have a ceiling, so it is purely qualitative.
On paper, it handles up to 14 reference images at once, tracking up to four characters and ten objects. It outputs up to 4K, roughly TV-level sharpness, in formats as wide as 8:1.
Developers can also set how long it “thinks” before drawing, from minimal to high, and let it ground its results in Google Search and Google Image Search. In plain words, it can look things up before it draws them.
Through Google’s developer API, the pipe that lets other companies’ apps use the model, a standard 1K image costs $0.0336. That’s about half of Nano Banana 2’s $0.067.
A 4K image runs $0.0756 versus $0.151. Batch jobs, big piles of images processed in bulk instead of instantly, get another 50% off.
At the standard 1K price, a thousand images now cost about $33.60 through the API, down from $67 on Nano Banana 2, which makes this model extremely good and also very efficient and cost effective.

Singapore, Singapore, October 6th, 2026, Chainwire
Multi-chain stablecoin wallet combines simpler transfers, flexible gas-fee options, security features, and practical use cases with one ambition: to become the world’s easiest stablecoin wallet.
Changer+ today announced the launch of its self-custodial stablecoin wallet, built to make holding, moving and using stablecoins simpler.
Changer+ supports major stablecoins including USDT and USDC across Ethereum, TRON, BNB Chain and Solana, with more networks and stablecoins planned.
To celebrate its launch, Changer+ is offering new users three free transactions per device on each chain – Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain from October 6 to November 6, 2026.
Changer+ is built around a simple belief: people should not need to understand every blockchain, gas token, or transaction mechanic just to use the stablecoins they already have.
Stablecoins Should Just Work
Using stablecoins can still mean figuring out which network a token is on, choosing the right transfer route, sourcing a separate gas token, and navigating unfamiliar transaction steps. Changer+ is designed to move more of that complexity into the background.
“People should not have to become blockchain experts just to use stablecoins,” said Leon Gao, CEO of Changer+, with over a decade of experience in product development in the fintech and payment industry
“The technology underneath can stay sophisticated. What users see should feel simple, clear and dependable.”
Simplicity Without Giving Up Control
Making stablecoins easier to use should not mean taking control away from the user.
Changer+ is self-custodial, meaning users retain control of their private keys and authorize their own transactions.
For Yun Han Wong, CGO of Changer+, who has spent years working in Web3, preserving that principle is fundamental to trust.
“Trust is everything in Web3,” Yun Han said. “The early crypto idea of ‘being your own bank’ was really about ownership — having control over your own assets instead of simply handing that control to another intermediary.”
“We want to preserve that ethos while making stablecoins much easier to use. Convenience should not mean giving up control.”
Technology and Security Built around the User
Changer+ is designed to remove common friction from everyday stablecoin use.
On supported transactions, Changer+ lets users cover network-related transaction costs without first having to acquire the blockchain’s native gas token.
For example, a user holding stablecoins does not necessarily need to separately acquire ETH, TRX, BNB, or SOL before completing a supported transaction.
Changer+ has also completed an independent security audit, vulnerability assessment, and penetration testing (VAPT) conducted by Echo Pulse, a CREST-accredited and Singapore-licensed cybersecurity service provider.
These capabilities are led by Zack Chen, CTO of Changer+, an NUS-trained technopreneur with years of software development experience overseeing Changer+’s multi-chain architecture and security development.
“Good engineering should reduce the complexity users have to manage while keeping the experience clear and reliable,” Zack said.
Making Stablecoins More Useful
Changer+ goes beyond holding and transferring stablecoins by giving users more ways to put them to practical use.
Current capabilities include global eSIM data plans, a lifestyle ticket marketplace, and security risk signals that help users identify suspicious activity and potentially unsafe addresses, with more use cases planned.
“Our ambition is not to build another wallet people download and forget,” Leon said. “We want to make the whole stablecoin experience easier — from holding and transferring to actually using them.”
As stablecoins increasingly move beyond crypto trading into payments, remittances and everyday digital commerce, the experience of using them remains fragmented across networks and wallets.
Changer+ was built to close that usability gap.
Backed by a private family office, Changer+ is taking a long-term approach to building the product. Rather than centering the platform around a project token or speculative rewards, the company is focused on usability, self-custody, security, and practical stablecoin utility.
“Stablecoins should just work,” Yun Han added. “Fewer unnecessary crypto steps, more useful things you can do with them, and the user stays in control.”
Changer+ is available on iOS and Android.

Integration lets users hold XRP, RLUSD, and USDC and use XRP to fund Tria cards and Hyperliquid or Decibel trading accounts without manually bridging or swapping.
Tria, the self-custodial neofinance platform for trading, earning, spending and moving assets across chains, today announced native support for the XRP Ledger, making XRP directly usable across Tria’s wallet, card and trading products.
Users can now receive, hold and send XRP, RLUSD and USDC on the native XRP Ledger, use XRP to book or top up a Tria card, and fund futures trading accounts on Hyperliquid or Decibel—all from inside Tria.
The integration removes the manual bridging and swapping that typically sits between an onchain balance and where a user wants to put it to work. Tria handles the underlying routing, allowing users to move from holding XRP to spending or trading without navigating multiple networks and applications themselves.
“XRP has one of the largest and most established communities in digital assets, but holding an asset and being able to use it seamlessly are still very different things,” said Vijit Katta, Co-founder and CEO of Tria. “With XRP Ledger support inside Tria, users can keep control of their assets while moving directly into spending or trading without stitching together bridges, swaps and separate apps.”
For card users, XRP can be used for both initial card booking and subsequent top-ups. For traders, XRP Ledger balances can fund futures accounts on Hyperliquid or Decibel. Tria displays both an estimated amount and guaranteed minimum before users confirm a card or trading top-up.
Transactions directly on the XRP Ledger typically settle in approximately three to five seconds, while cross-network card and trading top-ups generally take between one and three minutes.
The launch supports XRP, RLUSD and USDC on the native XRP Ledger. New XRP Ledger accounts require a 1 XRP reserve, with an additional 0.2 XRP reserve for each enabled token. Those reserves remain in the user’s account and are not paid to Tria. Tria recommends an initial deposit of at least 2 XRP to allow for reserve requirements and transaction fees.
Support is limited to the native XRP Ledger. XRP transferred through Ethereum, BNB Chain or the XRPL EVM sidechain is not supported by the integration.
The launch expands Tria’s broader push to make digital assets usable across financial products without forcing users to manage the infrastructure underneath each transaction. Tria brings spending, trading and cross-chain money movement into a single self-custodial interface designed to make assets portable across networks and applications.
XRP Ledger support is available now in the Tria app, with no access code required.
About Tria
Tria is a self-custodial neofinance platform that lets users trade, earn, spend and move assets across chains from a single interface. Tria combines consumer financial products with cross-chain infrastructure designed to make digital assets usable without requiring users to manually navigate bridges, networks and fragmented applications.

George Town, British Virgin Islands, September 28th, 2026, Chainwire
Aster, the privacy-first onchain trading platform backed by YZi Labs, today announced the launch of its Liquidity Pool Mining campaign, a four-week incentive campaign featuring a total reward pool of up to 140,000 $ASTER and running from September 28 to October 25, 2026 (UTC). To celebrate the launch of Perpetual Grid 2.0, the program is open to all Aster users running Perpetual Grid strategies on eligible trading pairs.
Rewards will be distributed hourly based on each eligible Grid’s share of trading volume. The base reward pool is set at 10,000 $ASTER per epoch, with additional rewards available based on market conditions and trading activity on the platform. Participation is automatic, with no registration required.
“As Aster continues to bring more emerging assets and opportunities onchain, we’re also focused on building the tools traders need to navigate increasingly dynamic markets. Perpetual Grid offers a flexible way to capture opportunities amid market volatility, and Grid 2.0 takes this experience further with greater flexibility and independence. This upgrade is another step toward our broader vision of building the frontier of onchain trading,” said Leonard, CEO at Aster.
Incentivizing Automated Perpetual Trading
The campaign builds on Aster’s expanded Perpetual Grid infrastructure, giving users a new way to participate in automated trading while earning additional $ASTER rewards from eligible Grid activity. Both Maker and Taker volume count toward the campaign, while manual trading and activity outside the Grid strategy are excluded.
An Estimated Bonus APY is also displayed to provide an indication of potential annualized $ASTER rewards based on recent campaign activity. The estimate can change as trading volume, participating Grids and other campaign conditions change, and does not guarantee future rewards or returns.
Grid 2.0 Separates Automated and Manual Strategies
Alongside the campaign, the newly upgraded Perpetual Grid 2.0 enables Grid strategies to operate independently from users’ regular Perpetual trading. Each Grid runs through a dedicated Grid Bot subaccount, keeping its positions and margin separate from the main Perpetual account.
With support for both Cross and Isolated Margin, users can run automated Grid strategies while continuing to trade Perpetuals manually, including on the same trading pair. Isolated Margin supports up to 50 independent Grid strategies per account, with no per-pair limit.
Discover Strategies Through Grid Marketplace
Aster’s Grid Marketplace further simplifies strategy discovery by allowing users to browse active Grid strategies and review metrics such as PnL, ROI, runtime, price range, leverage and trading activity.
Users can use an existing strategy as a starting point through Copy, or switch its direction through Reverse, turning a Long strategy into Short or vice versa. Copied or reversed strategies remain independent from their source and do not automatically synchronize with the original Grid.
The Liquidity Pool Mining campaign is available on designated eligible trading pairs, with the Week 1 eligible pairs including OURA/USD1, POLYMARKET/USD1, and META/USD1. The reward pool is shared across participating pairs. Individual rewards are determined by each Grid’s eligible trading volume relative to the total eligible volume generated during the relevant hourly period.
More eligible trading pairs may be added in subsequent weeks to reflect the latest market trends. For more information about the campaign, eligible trading pairs and current campaign parameters, please visit the official campaign page.
About Aster
Aster is a privacy-first onchain trading platform backed by YZi Labs, with unique features like Hidden Orders to protect user trading activity. It pioneers the frontier of on-chain trading through perpetual futures, spots, and earn products for top-trending assets, including RWAs, memes, and core crypto markets. It is powered by Aster Chain, a Layer 1 blockchain built to power the future of decentralized finance.

New Ondo Intelligent Portfolios will offer portfolio tokens based on portfolio strategies developed by BlackRock for Ondo, bringing professionally designed portfolios delivered as single onchain tokens for eligible investors outside the United States.
NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ondo Finance today launched a new onchain product category: Ondo Intelligent Portfolios, curated portfolios delivered as single onchain transferable tokens. The three portfolio tokens launched today are based on portfolio strategies powered by BlackRock, developed by BlackRock for Ondo, marking the first time eligible onchain investors can access exposure to such strategies through a single token.
Diversified, professionally constructed strategies have historically required brokerage accounts and traditional fund structures. Now, delivered as peer-to-peer transferable tokens from Ondo, these onchain portfolios become accessible to eligible non-US investors in permitted jurisdictions through the wallets, exchanges, and DeFi applications they already use.
Distribution is only part of the story. Bringing portfolios onchain can unlock novel capabilities: rebalancing that executes automatically at the smart contract level, portfolios that are fully programmable and composable with the broader onchain economy, and the potential to combine asset classes within a single token. Ondo Intelligent Portfolios establishes the infrastructure to bring portfolios based on leading asset managers’ strategies onchain.
“Tokenization creates new ways for portfolio strategies to be delivered through digital infrastructure. Diversified portfolio strategies can be incorporated into tokenized investment products, enabling eligible investors to access diversified allocations through a single instrument. It shows how established portfolio construction approaches can be delivered through new channels and technologies.” – Lisa O’Connor is Global Head of the Model Portfolio Solutions team and the Co-CIO for Global Solutions within the Multi-Asset Strategies group at BlackRock
Three custom portfolio strategies addressing three specific needs are launched today across income, allocation, and thematic strategies:
- BLKHIon: Ondo High Income Powered by BlackRock
- BLKDIGon: Ondo Diversified Growth Powered by BlackRock
- BLKGRWon: Ondo High Growth Powered by BlackRock
“Portfolios like these have never been available onchain. Now, they are made accessible onchain, transferable at any time, and usable across DeFi. This launch represents an important milestone in the development of onchain investment products. By incorporating strategies drawn on BlackRock’s longstanding portfolio construction experience into tokenized investment structures, eligible investors in supported jurisdictions can obtain exposure to diversified portfolio allocations through a single token. ” – Ian De Bode, Acting CEO and President, Ondo Finance
Holding a portfolio token provides economic exposure to the portfolio’s underlying basket. Each portfolio token is issued by Ondo Global Markets and tokenized by Ondo Finance. Investors mint or redeem a single token to hold a weighted basket of tokenized assets, without buying, weighting, or rebalancing individual positions themselves. Holdings, weights, and every rebalance are visible onchain, and the tokens are transferable peer-to-peer across wallets, exchanges, and DeFi protocols.
Ondo intends to expand the product line with additional onchain portfolios over time.
About Ondo Finance
Ondo Finance is a blockchain-based platform focused on tokenizing real-world assets and bringing institutional-quality financial products onchain. By bridging traditional finance and decentralized infrastructure, Ondo aims to make capital markets more accessible, transparent, and efficient.
About Ondo Global Markets
Ondo Global Markets is an issuance and redemption platform for tokenized publicly traded U.S. stocks and ETFs. It enables investors outside the United States to gain economic exposure to these assets by minting, transferring, and redeeming securities-backed tokens. Each token is fully backed by the corresponding stock or ETF (together with cash in transit).
About BlackRock
BlackRock’s purpose is to help more and more people experience financial well-being. As a fiduciary to investors and a leading provider of financial technology, we help millions of people build savings that serve them throughout their lives by making investing easier and more affordable.
