Canton Network’s Digital Asset targets $2 billion valuation in a16z crypto-led raise: BloombergDigital Asset Holdings, the company behind the Canton Network blockchain used by several major banks and trading firms, is seeking $300 million from investors including Andreessen Horowitz’s a16z crypto at a roughly $2 billion valuation, according to Bloomberg.

The funding round is expected to close in the next few weeks, and the amount raised could vary, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.

The sources said investment banking company FT Partners is consulting Digital Asset on the funding round.

Digital Asset Holding, Canton Network and a16z crypto did not respond to a CoinDesk request for comment and confirmation.

The Canton Network is a privacy-enabled blockchain infrastructure whose purpose is to connect financial institutions and their tokenized assets across interoperable, permissioned applications.

In February, it revealed that a group of global financial firms completed the first cross-border, intraday repurchase agreement using tokenized British government bonds on its blockchain. The transaction was the first time digital versions of gilts, a $2 trillion market, had been used in an intraday repo across borders.

Digital Asset received backing estimated at about $50 million in late 2025 from investors, including Bank of New York Mellon and Nasdaq. Existing backers also include DRW and Citadel Securities.

For Andreessen Horowitz, participation in this fundraising round could be its first since raising $2.2 billion a week ago for its latest crypto fund, taking its total capital dedicated to the sector to just shy of $10 billion across five funds.

DeepBook suffers $239.7K bad debt – What it means for leveraged DeFiDeepBook’s leveraged trading infrastructure faced mounting pressure after its $USDC margin pool became undercollateralized on the 9th of May.

On a post on X, the protocol announced that around 3:18 AM UTC, the imbalance generated nearly $239,700 in bad debt.The disruption unfolded as collateral values deteriorated faster than DeepBook’s liquidation engines could react during volatile conditions.

Withdrawal thresholds near 2.0x and liquidation targets around 1.25x briefly failed to absorb the shock. That weakness exposed how rapidly leverage can destabilize shared liquidity pools once volatility accelerates.

Ripple raises $200 million from Neuberger Berman to expand its Ripple Prime platform





Ripple’s prime-brokerage unit announced Monday it closed a $200 million funding agreement with global investment firm Neuberger Berman to expand the margin it offers investors to trade in traditional and digital asset markets.

In its announcement, Ripple also said the funding will help support the ongoing growth of its multi-asset prime brokerage platform, Ripple Prime, citing increasing client demand for its institutional-grade services and margin financing solutions.

The crypto firm said that since it acquired Hidden Road and rebranded it as Ripple Prime in 2025, this platform’s revenue has tripled year over year. Neuberger Berman has approximately $570 billion in total assets under management (AUM).

Ripple acquired prime-brokerage Hidden Road for $1.25 billion, one of the largest deals in the history of the cryptocurrency industry. The company later agreed to buy treasury-management software provider GTreasury for $1 billion.

‘No longer a market outlier’ – How Bitcoin’s volatility has changed the game

Bitcoin’s price has fluctuated wildly since 2022.

In 2022, the cryptocurrency market experienced “crypto winter,” falling from a $1.2 trillion market cap to $319 billion. The crypto market was under a lot of strain due to events like the Terra/Luna collapse, the aggressive Fed rate hikes, and the FTX bankruptcy.

However, by 2024, the market capitalization had returned close to $2 trillion.

Now, in early 2026, the Middle East tensions had put further strain on the crypto market. Yet amidst such events, Bitcoin volatility stood strong, “keeping volatility broadly in line with major tech stocks.”

Ecoinometrics noted,

Since late 2022, Bitcoin has even traded with lower volatility than Nvidia at times.

They put it aptly when they said,

Bitcoin is no longer behaving like a market outlier.

Bitcoin vs. Nvidia

Nvidia’s charts against Bitcoin supported the narrative showing how the crypto market was acting more and more like a significant macro asset.

Despite being a stock, Nvidia’s trading momentum was very aggressive because of the AI narrative. There were times when NVDA was more momentum-driven and speculative than Bitcoin.

Bitcoin vs. gold and more

Additionally, the Bitcoin/Gold ratio indicated that it is still significantly higher than it was in 2023, even after the 2026 decline.

This implies that Bitcoin has risen structurally against gold in the past cycle, supporting the idea that $BTC is becoming a more competitive global store-of-value asset.

The sentiment was also echoed by the Bitcoin Archive on X, which reported that since bottoming, Bitcoin has recovered 28%, including a robust 12% move in April alone. At the same time, the S&P 500 saw a 16

Why Ripple's CTO Emeritus Is Pitching Privacy Protocol Names to Solana's Top Contributor





Ripple CTO David Schwartz proposed a pool of names for a new privacy protocol on Solana Labs, responding to a public request from Mert Mumtaz. Schwartz's proposed list included Umbra, Solstice, Veil, Specter, Obsidian, Nyx, and Obscurant.

Answering the question in the headline, it's because of the synergy between top executives from traditionally competing blockchain communities - $XRP and Solana - around the shared issue of privacy, and it is not really surprising.

Crypto Firms Race to 'Quantum-Proof' Wallets Before Bitcoin, Ethereum Networks Catch Up Crypto companies are moving to secure their wallet and custody offerings against a future quantum computing threat, aiming to upgrade user-facing infrastructure faster than blockchains can change their core protocols.

The shift reflects a growing view that network-level upgrades to blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum could take years, leaving wallets exposed in the meantime. And the timeline for the purported "Q-Day" threat to crypto could be coming faster than expected, with one recent estimate putting it as soon as 2030.
