Will write more on this, but I suspect tokenization and RWAs will be a huge consolidating force in crypto.
Distribution is everything here. These tokens aren’t really fungible, and issuers have a lot of control over where they live.
People also underestimate the reputational side. Many tradfi asset managers will refuse to have their assets bridged to obscure, low-liquidity L1s, and they can enforce that.
You can already see it happening, and it will intensify: 3–4 chains will capture 95%+ of RWA flows. Over time, those same chains will pull in crypto-native flows too.

Circle Interop goes further: cirBTC and EURC join USDC on Circle Gateway.
Builders get one unified balance per asset with gas-free Nanopayments powered by Gateway. Use the same Gateway integration, with no changes for existing USDC users.

And just like that, EURC is the first euro stablecoin to cross €450M (~$500M) in circulation.
It just entered the top 20 stablecoins by market cap, the only non-USD one in the club. Onwards!

EURC & EUR are now a unified market and order book at @okx, allowing European users to trade in euros, move seamlessly between fiat and stablecoins, and tap into a single liquidity pool that reduces slippage and tightens spreads 🤝
We’re setting a new standard for euro-denominated crypto trading with EURC.
By integrating EURC by @circle into our unified EUR order book, EEA traders can access fiat and stablecoin liquidity through one market, another key step toward building Europe's leading financial app.

OKX is expanding euro-native trading with EURC.
Through @okx’s unified EUR orderbook, users can convert EUR to EURC 1:1, access EURC trading pairs, and manage activity in euro terms.
Another step toward making EURC more useful across Europe’s crypto ecosystem.

Stablecoin FX is coming on @arc
Matt Enslin (@stablenzo) of @circle sees FX trading as central to scaling non-USD stablecoins onchain. On this fireside with Theo C (@0xloth) of @morpho, he describes euro demand as venue led, citing derivatives exchanges adding euro margin collateral.

USDC and EURC dominate stablecoin card spending in dollars and euros 💵 💶
Most recently, @USDC made up at least ~60% of USD-denominated stablecoin card volume, and EURC ~92% of euro-denominated volume.
Great to see EURC's recent rise. It's now the third most spent stablecoin via card after USDC and USDT, growing from ~$1.9M to ~$70M in a year.
Thanks to @_JakeEaton for the flag! Source @Paymentscan

Every asset is going onchain
Prepare
*SEC STAFF ISSUES FAQS ON CRYPTO ASSET SECURITIES LAWS APPLICATION
*SEC STAFF: TOKEN BUYBACKS ON FUNCTIONAL PROTOCOLS DO NOT CONSTITUTE MANAGERIAL EFFORTS
*SEC STAFF: LIQUID STAKING TOKENS ARE DIGITAL COMMODITIES OR TOOLS, NOT SECURITIES
*SEC STAFF: MAINTENANCE, ENHANCEMENTS, SYSTEM GRANTS NOT CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL MANAGERIAL EFFORTS
*SEC STAFF: PROMOTING CRYPTO UTILITY WITHOUT PROFIT CLAIMS GENERALLY NOT AN INVESTMENT CONTRACT

the united states needs crypto in a way that your average person has zero understanding of
proliferation of stablecoins and tokenized stocks extends US Dollar dominance & in turn increases net buyers of US Debt at scale in a way that cannot be easily replicated
your benefit of being here & understanding this is a massive advantage that you should not take lightly

Derive's options volume is up 4.5x this year and the fees increades 70%.
Volume is compounding and fee capture is not, because Derive cut its options fees in July. Taker fees went to 0.0075% from 0.03–0.04%, and top makers now get paid rebates to quote tighter. The venue is buying order-book depth and giving up take rate to do it.
Volume
→ Options notional went from $735M in January to a $3.3B monthly run rate in September.
→ August alone did $1.92B, the best full month on record before September.
Fees
→ Protocol fees went from $324K in January to about $562K in September, up only 1.7x.
→ March is still the best fee month of 2026 at $709K, six months on.
ALT Monthly options notional volume beside monthly protocol fees, Jan.-Sep. 2026.

Arc empowers anyone issuing tokenized assets with a cross-chain distribution and interoperability layer built on the years of work we have spent making USDC the most widely used cross-chain asset in the world. This is booster rockets for tokenization.
