Capturing the Multi-Trillion Dollar Entertainment Industry

The global entertainment and media market is currently valued at approximately $2.8 trillion, fueled largely by the passion of dedicated fanbases. However, the majority of this value has historically been captured by centralized platforms.

NEXST introduces a model that tokenizes collaborations with established K-POP artists and Japanese idol intellectual property across its AI and VR products. This approach is designed to enable fans to participate in the value generated by these collaborations, with transactions recorded on-chain to enhance transparency within the existing ecosystem.

From Fragmented Events to “Fan Continuity”

At the core of NEXST is a concept referred to as “Fan Continuity.”

Traditional fan experiences are transactional and fragmented; a concert ticket or a piece of merchandise is often a one-off purchase and involvement. NEXST redefines this journey by tokenizing every interaction. Powered by an AI-driven infrastructure, actions such as attending a VR concert, engaging with AI personas, or purchasing RWA-backed assets create persistent rights on the blockchain.

These rights persist and evolve over time, unlocking deeper value, exclusive rewards, and unique access. NEXST acts as the bridge between traditional entertainment and Web3, transforming isolated events into a lifecycle of continuous participation and ownership.

A Tangible On-Chain Economy for Entertainment

NEXST distinguishes itself through a suite of products backed by global IP partnerships:

Immersive VR & Social Gaming: High-fidelity VR experiences with popular K-POP idols and interactive social games featuring Japanese idol IPs.
AI Social Media & Prediction Markets: A next-generation platform where creators and fans interact through AI-generated content and engage in prediction markets.
RWA (Real World Asset) Integration: Tokenizing physical assets like artist trading cards to provide fans with verifiable ownership and secondary market liquidity.

The Dawn of a New Global Fandom

The listing of $NXT on OKX Boost, KuCoin, MEXC, and LBank marks a pivotal milestone in scaling the “Fan Continuity” vision. As the infrastructure matures and its presence expands across these premier global exchanges, fans worldwide will finally have the tools to transform their enthusiasm into a measurable, liquid asset, ushering in a new era of the AI-driven creator economy.

About NEXST

NEXST is an AI-driven entertainment infrastructure that tokenizes the full spectrum of fan experiences. By bridging traditional entertainment with Web3 through its proprietary “Fan Continuity” framework, NEXST ensures that fan engagement creates persistent rights and unlocks long-term value, empowering fans to become true stakeholders in the entertainment world.

Press Release

GoMining Launches GoBTC Pay To Bring Native Instant Payments To Bitcoin

by admin May 8, 2026

written by admin

London, United Kingdom, May 8th, 2026, Chainwire

GoBTC Pay is a protocol that lets consumers make native and instant payments on Bitcoin’s base layer.
GoMining launches its own mining pool to prioritize GoBTC Pay transaction confirmation, targeting a 12-hour final on-chain settlement by the end of 2026.
The launch marks a strategic expansion for GoMining, a platform with 5 million users. GoBTC Pay extends this ecosystem into everyday payments.

GoMining launches GoBTC Pay a Bitcoin payment protocol that delivers on what the 2008 whitepaper promised: peer-to-peer electronic payments. GoBTC Pay enables free and instant Bitcoin payments on the core Bitcoin layer. This makes it practical to use Bitcoin at the point of sale for everyday purchases. Payments are free for end-users and merchants pay a small acquiring fee that undercuts traditional card processing.

GoBTC Pay is designed as an open infrastructure. GoMining operates the reference implementation, but any wallet provider — from Ledger to Trust Wallet to MetaMask — can integrate the protocol to offer instant Bitcoin payments to their users.

Why this matters

Bitcoin is the dominant cryptocurrency with a market cap above $1.5 trillion. Over 150 public companies hold BTC on their balance sheets. Spot Bitcoin ETFs, which didn’t exist two years ago, now manage roughly $100 billion in assets across a dozen funds. The U.S. government holds approximately 328,000 BTC. But Bitcoin still can’t process a retail transaction quickly and reliably.

The Lightning Network, introduced in 2018 to solve this problem, took seven years to reach $1 billion in monthly volume and its average transaction of $223 mostly reflects exchange-to-exchange flows, not someone paying for groceries. In the US, about 22% of adults own Bitcoin, yet there are only 2,300 U.S. businesses that accept Bitcoin directly, and the gap between how many people own Bitcoin and how many places accept it is widening.

“The first line of the Bitcoin whitepaper describes a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. Bitcoin was designed to be money, not just an asset. That promise is still unfulfilled, and we intend to deliver on it,” said Mark Zalan, CEO of GoMining. “We already serve millions of users, and run data centers on three continents. All of this provides us a unique position to enable native Bitcoin payments with GoBTC Pay.”

Mining-powered confirmation

GoBTC Pay enables free and instant payments in Bitcoin, using GoMining’s own mining infrastructure to confirm the transactions. It uses a 2-of-3 multi-signature architecture shared between the user, GoMining, and a regulated third-party custodian.

GoMining serves 5 million users globally. The company has created a dedicated mining pool for processing GoBTC Pay transactions, aiming for a 12-hour on-chain settlement by the end of 2026. Where most payment companies depend on third-party pools for confirmation, GoMining mines the blocks itself.

The pool also serves GoMining’s “digital miners” — users who own tokenized hashrate through GoMining’s app. A portion of GoBTC Pay transaction fees flows back to these miners as additional BTC yield: consumers pay with BTC, merchants earn BTC, miners earn a share of payment fees, and GoMining’s pool processes the transactions.

Any wallet provider, whether hardware, software, or custodial, can connect to the GoBTC Pay network and enable instant Bitcoin payments for their users.

Bitcoin payments for Merchants

For merchants, GoBTC Pay is a Bitcoin-native acquiring network that undercuts every major card processor on cost. Its acquiring fee of 0.2% is substantially lower than traditional card processing, which range from 1.5% to 3.5% in the US. On a $100 sale, the merchant keeps $99.80.

GoMining distributes the entire fee back into the ecosystem: half goes to the miners who confirm transactions, and half goes to the wallet provider that initiated the payment. GoMining retains nothing on third-party transactions to incentivize wallet integrations and accelerate adoption.

Merchants can receive BTC directly to their own wallet, or use GoMining’s custodial merchant solution, which offers yield on their BTC balance — including during the settlement window — and an off-ramp to fiat. GoBTC Pay will ship with a dedicated PoS terminal, a web merchant dashboard, a developer SDK, and plugins for Shopify and WooCommerce in the coming months.

The launch coincides with GoMining’s major expansion in the United States. The company is building combined data centers for Bitcoin mining and AI workloads, with a target of securing 1 GW of compute capacity in 2026.

GoMining presented a live demo of GoBTC Pay at Consensus Miami 2026 (May 5–7, Miami Beach Convention Center).

About GoMining

GoMining is an all-in-one Bitcoin ecosystem that makes it simple and secure to mine, earn, and use Bitcoin every day. GoMining serves 5 million users and ranks among the top-10 Bitcoin miners by hashrate globally, with data centers in the U.S. and internationally. The company makes Bitcoin accessible through tokenized hashrate, daily BTC rewards, and an expanding suite of payment and earning products. For more information, please visit https://gomining.com/

Boltz Launches Non-Custodial USDC Swaps, Bridging Bitcoin Directly To Circle’s Regulated Dollar

by admin May 6, 2026

written by admin

Boltz, a leading non-custodial swap provider for Bitcoin, today announced the launch of USDC Swaps, enabling instant conversion between Bitcoin and USDC, the regulated stablecoin issued by Circle. Swaps are supported across all major Bitcoin layers, including the Lightning Network, and are live now at boltz.exchange.

“USDC Swaps mark a turning point for the Bitcoin ecosystem. For the first time, anyone can move between Bitcoin and the dollar most trusted by the regulated financial world without opening an account, completing KYC, or trusting a custodian in the process,” said the team in a press release shared with Bitcoin Magazine.

A Non-Custodial Bridge

Exchanging Bitcoin for USDC is not new. What is new is doing it without giving up custody. Today, users who want to move between Bitcoin and a regulated dollar are typically funneled through centralized exchanges and brokerages that require account creation, identity verification, and full custody of user funds. A subset of services offer the same conversion without an account upfront, but because those services still take custody of user funds during the swap, they retain the ability to pause settlement and request identity documents if a transaction is flagged for review, with funds potentially getting confiscated in the meantime. The trade-off, in either case, has been the same: trust, surveillance, and friction in exchange for access.

Boltz removes that trade-off. USDC Swaps execute trustlessly, with no account, no sign-up, and no KYC at any stage. Funds remain under user control until the moment USDC arrives in the user’s wallet. This is the core innovation, and it is what separates Boltz from every other path between Bitcoin and Circle’s regulated Stablecoin.

Bridging Two Financial Worlds

For more than a decade, Bitcoin and the stablecoin economy have evolved on parallel tracks. Bitcoin built the open, permissionless side of the internet’s financial layer. Circle and USDC built the compliant, audited dollar that institutions require for operations. The two rarely connected directly.

USDC Swaps close that gap. With a single transaction, value can move between Bitcoin and a fully reserved, monthly-attested dollar that is already integrated into the products of Stripe, Coinbase, Visa, Mastercard, BlackRock, Robinhood, Revolut, Nubank, and a long list of banks, fintechs, and payment processors worldwide.

“The momentum is unmistakable,” wrote the Boltz team. USDC is the stablecoin that Stripe and Paradigm placed at the center of Tempo, their new payments-focused blockchain. It is the dollar on which Coinbase built its institutional infrastructure. It is the dollar that regulated card networks, asset managers, and global fintechs reach for when they need a digital dollar they can defend to a regulator. Boltz USDC swaps mean plugging Bitcoin directly into the rails that the regulated world is already standardizing on.

“Bitcoin and the regulated financial system have always been adjacent worlds, separated by intermediaries that demand custody and identity,” said Kilian Rausch, CEO of Boltz. “USDC Swaps remove that separation. A merchant accepting Bitcoin, a freelancer paid in sats, a treasury team managing operating capital, all of them can now reach the regulated dollar economy on their own terms, in seconds.”

Powered by the Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol

USDC Swaps are built on Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP), the native infrastructure that allows USDC to move across blockchains without wrapping or third-party bridges. Every USDC delivered through a Boltz swap is genuine, Circle-issued USDC, the same USDC accepted by regulated payment partners around the world.

By building on CCTP, Boltz is able to serve users across every USDC-supported network, including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, and others, from a single, focused liquidity provider.

Use Cases Across Consumer and Business

Boltz believes that USDC Swaps unlock a broad set of practical applications, including:

Off-ramping Bitcoin into the banking system through regulated partners that already accept USDC, such as Stripe, Coinbase, and Bridge.
Day-to-day operations for Bitcoin-native businesses, such as paying vendors, funding payroll, and settling recurring bills in regulated dollars without leaving non-custodial infrastructure.
Merchant settlement for Bitcoin-accepting businesses that need to book revenue in compliant, accountant-friendly USDC.

All of the above are now unlocked without having to use crypto wallets outside of Bitcoin. Users send Bitcoin through Boltz and the recipient can receive USDC.

Bitcoin First, by Design

Boltz emphasized that the launch does not change the company’s Bitcoin-first orientation. All swaps remain non-custodial, all swaps settle atomically, and a “Bitcoin-Only Mode” continues to be available for users who prefer a stripped-down interface. USDC Swaps simply extend the reach of Bitcoin into a part of the financial system that, until now, has been difficult to access without trusted intermediaries.

USDC Swaps are available immediately to all users at boltz.exchange. Integration into various SDKs and the Boltz BTCPay Plugin is planned to follow in the coming weeks, according to the company.

Rayls Launches Public Mainnet, Advancing Its Mission To Bring Global Finance Onchain

by admin May 1, 2026

written by admin

When Rayls opened its public mainnet on April 30, 2026, it did so with a roster that most blockchain projects spend years assembling. The Layer 1 chain, built by Parfin (core developer of Ralys), went live recently, and was preceded by Tether made a strategic investment in Parfin, the core developer of Rayls. That backing sits alongside Rayls’ inclusion in Mastercard’s Crypto Partner Program, a J.P. Morgan Kinexys deployment and a $1 billion partnership agreement with AmFi – all secured within the 18 months preceding launch.

The institutional momentum behind the chain reflects a broader shift in how large financial organizations are approaching blockchain infrastructure. Rayls offers verifiable sub-second finality and low gas fees on its public chain, alongside full EVM compatibility – a combination that lowers the integration cost for institutions already running Solidity-based systems. The technical baseline appears to have been a decisive factor for each of the major partners.

Tether and Mastercard inclusion signal infrastructure-level commitment

Tether’s strategic investment in Parfin closed in November 2025. This signals the world’s largest stablecoin issuer backing the company building Rayls at the infrastructure level, rather than simply deploying a token on top of it. In March 2026, Mastercard added Rayls to its Crypto Partner Program alongside Polygon, Solana, Ripple and Stellar – a shortlist that places the chain in the company of some of the most liquid and developer-active networks in the market.

AmFi’s $1 billion commitment anchors near-term volume

The AmFi partnership, announced in December 2025, is the deal with the largest direct volume implication. The agreement targets $1 billion in assets under management on the Rayls network by the end of 2027, with $100 million committed by July 2026 and $500 million by January 2027. The milestones represent contracted deployment rather than indicative targets, which gives the figures a different weight when assessing the chain’s near-term transaction volume.

J.P. Morgan’s Kinexys division – the bank’s blockchain and digital-assets infrastructure arm – has deployed on the network and independently assessed its privacy architecture. The Kinexys relationship also brings credibility to the chain’s regulatory positioning: Rayls is designed to operate within MiCA, CVM, BACEN and US financial-market frameworks, and J.P. Morgan’s involvement implies a level of compliance due diligence that most new chains do not receive at launch.

A 200 million-strong distribution network and live FX volume

XP Inc., Brazil’s largest independent investment bank, and Nuclea are issuing stablecoins on Rayls. AmFi brings tokenized real-world asset deployment, while Nimofast adds a pipeline of tangible real-economy assets and cash flows. Animoca Brands rounds out the roster on the digital-assets side. Across the full partner network, the combined end-client reach exceeds 200 million users.

Parfin’s own FX desk is scheduled to migrate approximately $400 million in monthly foreign exchange flows to the Rayls network from Q3 2026. That migration represents production transaction volume rather than a pilot, and the figure gives a concrete floor estimate for the chain’s early throughput under real commercial conditions.

Beyond the corporate partner base, Rayls has engaged with the Central Bank of Brazil, the Bank for International Settlements and the European Commission on digital-asset and stablecoin policy frameworks.

The public mainnet also brings Rayls’ RLS tokenomics live. The burn mechanism is designed to connect network activity with the token’s economic model, giving the chain a clearer link between institutional demand, transaction volume and its native token layer.

With the mainnet live, the focus shifts to delivery against the contracted milestones – $100 million with AmFi by July, the $400 million FX migration from Q3, continued stablecoin issuance from XP and Nuclea, and the expansion of asset activity through Rayls Private Networks. The sub-second finality and low gas fees that attracted the partner roster now face their first test at production scale.

Morgan Stanley Launches Stablecoin Reserve Fund

by admin April 24, 2026

written by admin

MSNXX invests only in cash, US Treasury bills, notes, and overnight repurchase agreements, allowing for a stable one-dollar NAV.

Morgan Stanley Investment Management has introduced a new fund designed to support stablecoin issuers.

The firm announced the Stablecoin Reserves Portfolio (MSNXX) in New York as part of its Institutional Liquidity Funds Trust, structured as a government money market fund.

Changing Market Needs

According to an April 23 press release, the fund aligns with the reserve requirements outlined in the GENIUS Act. The investment bank also says its main goal is to offer stablecoin payment issuers a compliant option for holding the funds backing their tokens.

Fred McMullen, Co-Head of Global Liquidity at Morgan Stanley, believes the product will help address a clear market need. The official said that there has been a major increase in stablecoin issuers and that the rising number of these digital assets shows potential for future growth.

“We are pleased to deliver a new investment solution to the marketplace that seeks to address the needs of stablecoin issuers,” he wrote.

The bank also set up the fund in a way that promotes capital preservation and liquidity, with the aim of maintaining a stable one-dollar Net Asset Value (NAV) and generating income. Additionally, it only invests in cash, U.S. Treasury bills, notes, and overnight repurchase agreements.

Morgan Stanley has been making several moves to expand its digital asset offerings, with Amy Oldenburg, head of Digital Assets at the firm, emphasizing this in the press release.

“Developing innovative ways to work with stablecoin issuers is another step towards modernizing the financial infrastructure and a key way to improve our institutional clients’ experience,” she wrote.

She further explained that by doing this, its customers from different market segments will get more opportunities, which will also make finance more accessible.

Morgan Stanley’s Deep Dive into Crypto

Recent activity by the bank shows just how much it has been prioritizing cryptocurrencies, with it launching the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust in April. Earlier in the year, the company also introduced a DAP Class share within its Treasury Securities Portfolio.

McMullen said that these developments are also part of the firm’s long-term strategy, noting that it has been actively engaging across the industry to increase its capacity to offer crypto liquidity solutions. He finished by saying that although the effort is still in its early stages, the recent product launches show their commitment to developing solutions that address changing investor needs.

Elsewhere, banks and crypto institutions have been holding talks for months at the White House to settle a dispute over whether the latter should let customers earn a reward on their stablecoin investments. Financial institutions have been opposing the idea because they claim that yield-bearing stablecoins pull funds away from checking and saving accounts, weakening a primary source of lending capital.

Most recently, White House economists opined that banning crypto firms from offering these rewards wouldn’t have a meaningful effect on banks, while also removing consumer benefits gained from these returns.

Infinite Launches Dedicated Bank Accounts For Embedded Stablecoin And Fiat Payments

by admin April 22, 2026

written by admin

SAN FRANCISCO, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Infinite, the payments and compliance technology platform, today announced the launch of Infinite Accounts – dedicated bank accounts with unique routing numbers that work across both traditional payment rails and stablecoin networks, powered by Erebor Bank, N.A., Member FDIC.

Businesses can integrate once with Infinite’s platform to access comprehensive account and payment capabilities, subject to program terms and transaction limits. Erebor Bank, N.A. provides the regulated banking infrastructure underneath.

A Unified Account Experience

Through the program, businesses and their end users get deposit accounts with full transactional capability – deposits, withdrawals, ACH, and domestic and international wire transfers – alongside stablecoin functionality, all accessible through Infinite’s APIs and platform. Accounts are provided by Erebor Bank, N.A., Member FDIC, and may be eligible for FDIC deposit insurance.¹ Stablecoin products accessible through the platform are not insured by the FDIC, are not bank deposits, and may lose value.²

What makes the program distinct is how it collapses what has traditionally required multiple banking relationships, compliance vendors, and crypto infrastructure providers into a single experience. A payroll company can pay contractors via ACH or on-chain stablecoin from the same funded account. A treasury platform can receive fiat deposits and programmatically convert to stablecoins for cross-border settlement, subject to processing times and applicable fees. The complexity lives in the platform, not in the customer’s workflow.

Stablecoin Native Capabilities

The partnership also supports stablecoin mint and burn in connection with fiat funds, on-chain and off-chain transaction flows across supported blockchain networks, and intelligent routing across traditional payment rails – including ACH and wire transfers.

Businesses don’t need to manage wallet infrastructure or navigate crypto complexity; the platform handles provider routing, compliance checks, and reconciliation behind the scenes.

Stablecoin holdings are not insured by the FDIC, are not bank deposits, may lose value, and are subject to different risks than FDIC-insured deposit accounts.² For a current list of supported stablecoins, visit https://infinite.dev.

Designed for Platforms

The program is built around Infinite’s Merchant Developer model. Third-party platforms, developers, and merchants integrate with Infinite’s APIs to offer banking and stablecoin capabilities to their own end users under their own brand – without needing to build payment infrastructure or manage direct banking relationships.

“We built Infinite to make stablecoin payments as easy, if not easier, to adopt as any other payment method,” said Nikhil Srinivasan, CEO of Infinite. “Real bank accounts, real payment rails, and stablecoin capabilities – all through one platform that businesses can integrate into their existing workflows.”

About Infinite

Infinite is a payments and compliance technology company building the enablement layer for B2B stablecoin adoption. Founded by Nikhil Srinivasan and Raj Lad, Infinite operates a unified platform that integrates payments, compliance, and risk controls for embedded fiat and stablecoin transactions. Visit https://infinite.dev to learn more.

¹ Infinite is a financial technology company, not an FDIC-insured bank. Banking services, including deposit accounts, are provided by Erebor Bank, N.A., Member FDIC. Funds held in deposit accounts may be eligible for FDIC insurance up to $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, per ownership category, subject to satisfaction of conditions for pass-through deposit insurance. FDIC deposit insurance covers the failure of an FDIC-insured bank and does not protect against the failure or insolvency of Infinite or any non-bank entity. Infinite does not hold, control, or take custody of customer funds.

Aurise Foundation Launches XAUE, Unlocking Yield For RWA Gold

PANAMA CITY, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Aurise Foundation today announced the launch of XAUE, a yield-bearing gold token designed as a Treasury Layer for Tether Gold (XAU₮). Built for qualified institutional participants, XAUE introduces crypto-native yield generation to traditionally non-yielding gold, transforming it into a programmable and capital-efficient on-chain asset.

At launch, ecosystem partners Aurelion and Antalpha have jointly committed 16,052 XAU₮ into XAUE (approximately $76 million as of April 22). As the ecosystem expands, XAUE may potentially integrate with leading more decentralized financial protocols, positioning itself as a foundational collateral and settlement asset across on-chain financial markets.

From Passive Store of Value to Productive On-Chain Asset

Gold has long served as a hedge against inflation and systemic risk, yet its capital efficiency has remained structurally limited. While gold ETFs improved accessibility, they lack 24/7 liquidity. Digital gold assets such as XAU₮ and PAXG have enhanced transferability and global accessibility, but still primarily rely on price appreciation without intrinsic yield generation.

XAUE is designed to bridge this gap. By preserving exposure to the underlying value of XAU₮ while introducing a gold-denominated yield mechanism, XAUE enables holders to benefit from compounding growth measured in gold units. The protocol adopts a monotonically increasing exchange rate model, where the gold value backing each XAUE token might grow over time as net yield accrues.

For example, Deposit 1 XAU₮ to receive 1,000 XAUE (1000:1). With a 2% annual yield, reserves grow to 1.02 XAU₮ while supply stays fixed, so 1,000 XAUE redeems for 1.02 XAU₮—delivering passive, auto-compounding gold returns.

About XAUE

XAUE is a decentralized asset enhancement protocol built on Ethereum, designed as a Treasury Layer for Tether Gold (XAU₮). By introducing gold-denominated yield, compliant access frameworks, efficient reserve verification, and a 1000:1 fractionalization model, XAUE redefines how gold can function within on-chain financial systems.

About Aurise Foundation

XAUE is a DeFi protocol on Ethereum and the Treasury Layer for Tether Gold (XAU₮), issued by Aurise Foundation (Panama). It enables yield generation on gold via quantitative strategies and institutional lending, while remaining fully backed by physical gold or XAU₮. Aurise Foundation and its partners oversee governance, audits, Proof of Reserves, and AML/KYC compliance. Access is limited to whitelisted, KYC/KYB-verified institutions in eligible jurisdictions.
