Ripple takes RLUSD multichain: Stablecoin expands to L2s with Wormhole

Ripple has expanded its U.S.-regulated stablecoin, RLUSD, to Layer 2 networks including Optimism, Base, Ink, and Unichain using Wormhole’s Native Token Transfers (NTT) standard. This enables native multichain issuance, reducing bridge risks and ensuring regulatory compliance. RLUSD is the first U.S. Trust-regulated stablecoin on these L2s. Backed by a NYDFS Trust Charter and with a pending OCC application, it aims to be the first dual-regulated stablecoin. The expansion enhances utility for both XRP and RLUSD, strengthening Ripple’s role in institutional DeFi and cross-chain liquidity.

Crypto ATM operator to expand to Texas, citing friendly regulation

Bitcoin Bancorp, formerly Bullet Blockchain, plans to deploy up to 200 cryptocurrency ATMs in Texas by Q1 2026 as part of its national expansion. The company cited Texas’s crypto-friendly regulations, modernized money-transmitter laws, and pro-innovation policies as key reasons for the move. Texas, the second-most populous U.S. state, has become a major crypto hub, hosting mining firms like Riot Platforms and Cipher Mining, and recently passed a bill allowing the state to hold Bitcoin as part of its long-term assets. In November, Texas invested $5 million in BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF and plans to invest another $5 million directly in Bitcoin. Other states like Arizona and New Hampshire have passed similar laws but have not yet made significant crypto purchases.

Why Movement [MOVE] crypto is up – L1 shift, buybacks & more!

Movement (MOVE) cryptocurrency surged over 12% in 24 hours, extending its rally amid a transition from an Ethereum L2 to a standalone L1 blockchain. Key drivers include partnerships with over 10 DeFi applications, which generate revenue used for MOVE buybacks to reduce circulating supply. Network activity also increased, with monthly active addresses rising 17% to 21.4K and transaction counts growing significantly. Despite the breakout from a two-month descending trendline, sellers remain active, as indicated by negative CVD and MACD signals. For a sustained uptrend, MOVE must hold above $0.0418 and breach $0.0600. The rally shows potential reversal signs after a year of decline, but broader market confirmation is needed.

The Governance Struggle Behind the Power Play of Aave DAO and Aave Labs

The article details a governance conflict between Aave DAO and Aave Labs, centering on a dispute over revenue generated by the frontend. The controversy began when Aave Labs replaced the integrated ParaSwap with CoW Swap on its frontend and directed the resulting fees to its private address, rather than to the DAO treasury. An anonymous DAO member, EzR3aL, publicly criticized this move, accusing Labs of privatizing protocol value. Aave DAO represents the protocol layer, governed by $AAVE token holders who vote on proposals. Aave Labs is the development team responsible for building and maintaining the frontend, brand, and product partnerships. The core issue is whether Aave is a decentralized protocol owned by the DAO or a project built and controlled by Labs, and how this distinction affects revenue rights. DAO supporters argue that all value generated should benefit token holders, while Labs contends that frontend-related income rightfully belongs to them. The situation highlights a broader industry-wide governance dilemma: the tension between decentralized community control and the need for a centralized, efficient team to drive development and maintain market position. The article suggests that a potential compromise, such as transparent revenue-sharing agreements, may be necessary. It concludes that how Aave resolves this conflict could set a precedent for other DeFi projects facing similar governance challenges.

Visa creates stablecoin advisory team as onchain dollars go mainstream

Visa has launched a global Stablecoins Advisory Practice to assist banks, merchants, and fintechs in designing and managing stablecoin products. The initiative focuses on enhancing payment efficiency through training, market analysis, and technical integration support. This move reflects the growing significance of onchain dollar transactions, with Visa already processing billions in USDC settlements annually. The trend highlights a broader industry shift toward stablecoins for faster, cheaper payments, as seen with companies like Stripe and PayPal. This evolution is reshaping Bitcoin’s role, positioning it more as a store of value rather than a medium for everyday transactions.
