Özet

Folks Finance, a leading crosschain lending protocol backed by major investors, has announced xChain V2, scheduled for release in H1 2026. The upgrade will be supported by a $10M+ incentive program using FOLKS tokens to encourage user participation as the platform targets $1 billion in TVL. xChain V2 enhances crosschain lending by removing complexity, supporting both EVM and non-EVM ecosystems, and introducing vault-based crosschain loans for unified yield strategies. It will integrate with a new mobile app to enable debit-card borrowing, allowing users to spend borrowed funds in the real world. The upgrade aims to make advanced DeFi tools accessible for mainstream onchain and everyday use.

Folks Finance, the leading crosschain lending protocol backed by Coinbase Ventures, Jump, ParaFi, and Borderless Capital, is entering its next development phase with the release of xChain V2, scheduled for H1 2026.

To support the rollout, Folks Finance will allocate 1 million FOLKS (valued at ~$10M at the time of publishing) toward incentives to fuel unified crosschain pools and efficient strategy vaults, rewarding users who explore the upgraded system as it scales toward a $1 billion TVL target.

V2 builds on the success of the FOLKS token launch and the first iteration of true crosschain lending with xChain, taking the model to a much wider audience by removing the complexity traditionally tied to crosschain DeFi. The upgrade brings higher efficiency, support for both EVM and non-EVM ecosystems, and new vault-based crosschain loans that enable curated, crosschain yield strategies from a single interface.

As part of this vision, xChain V2 will also connect with the upcoming Folks Mobile app to enable debit-card-based borrowing: users can borrow against their collateral, keep their exposure and yield, and spend the borrowed balance directly in the real world.
The goal is simple: turn advanced DeFi mechanics into tools anyone can use, both onchain and in everyday life.

The FOLKS token will also expand its utility alongside the V2 launch, with further details to be shared as development progresses.

xChain V2 is currently in active development. With over a year as the leading crosschain lending protocol on mainnet and extensive market experience across eight chains, Folks Finance is positioned to deliver one of the most advanced upgrades in the sector.

More updates, previews, and technical details will be shared across official channels as xChain V2 approaches launch.

Inside South Korea’s crypto shock: Upbit announces 99% cold-storage security overhaul

South Korea's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Upbit, is increasing its cold storage ratio to 99% following a recent multi-million dollar hack involving Solana-based tokens. This aggressive security overhaul far exceeds the country's 80% legal requirement and places Upbit ahead of most major exchanges globally. The move coincides with regulatory pressure, as South Korean authorities are considering imposing "bank-level" liability standards that would force exchanges to compensate users for losses from hacks, even without direct fault. Additionally, lawmakers are pushing to finalize a stablecoin regulatory framework by a December deadline, with a potential parliamentary review in early 2026.

Central Bank Names Bitcoin the Most Loss-Making Asset in November When Invested in Rubles

The Central Bank of Russia, in its latest "Financial Market Risks Review," identified Bitcoin as the worst-performing asset in November for ruble-denominated investments. The regulator included Bitcoin in its comparative table of asset returns, as it has done routinely. The list includes instruments from the Russian market, as well as gold, US government bonds, and other assets. In contrast to previous months, Russian stocks demonstrated the highest total returns in November. Although Bitcoin reached a new all-time high exceeding $126,000 on October 6th, this peak was not achieved against several currencies, including the euro, Swiss franc, and the Russian ruble. Against the ruble, the price remained below its December 2024 peak. According to the regulator's calculations, Bitcoin showed the worst returns in ruble terms for November (-19.9%), since the start of 2025 (-25.7%), and over the past 12 months (-31.9%). Notably, in reports prior to and including September 2025, Bitcoin was consistently among the top performers. However, since the beginning of 2022, Bitcoin remains the second-best performing asset after gold, having gained over 100% and significantly outperforming other assets. The report also provided data on Russian crypto investment activity. The volume of open positions held by individuals in cryptocurrency futures on the Moscow Exchange reached 3.5 billion rubles by the end of November. The majority of investors hold small positions, but the largest share of the volume comes from major participants. Additionally, thousands of investors have allocated funds to crypto CFAs and copy-trading strategies linked to crypto assets. Over 500 people participate in OTC crypto derivatives. The report also noted an 18% decline in the volume of transactions by Russians on foreign crypto exchanges in Q2 and Q3 2025 compared to the previous two quarters, alongside a decrease in estimated ruble balances on crypto exchanges and traffic to crypto platforms from Russia.

Shibarium Stages Comeback With Latest Development, Shiba Inu Whales Return – Details

Shibarium, the Layer-2 blockchain for Shiba Inu, is showing signs of a potential comeback after months of low activity. This renewed momentum is tied to the development and anticipated adoption of ShibOS, a new operating system designed to be the backbone of the SHIB ecosystem. ShibOS aims to move beyond meme status by creating a functional environment for dApps, digital identities, and Web2 business integration, which could drive more transactions and utility for Shibarium. Concurrently, on-chain data reveals a significant surge in SHIB whale activity, hitting a six-month high with 406 large transactions (over $100,000 each) in 24 hours. Crypto exchanges also saw a net inflow of over 1 trillion SHIB. This convergence of increased whale movement, exchange deposits, and recent price surges suggests a potential shift, though it remains unclear if whales are accumulating for a larger rally or preparing to sell.

Teachers union claims risks to retirement funds in crypto market structure

The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) opposes the Senate's proposed crypto market structure legislation, arguing it threatens retirement fund stability. The union claims the bill fails to regulate crypto assets with the same rigor as traditional pension holdings and could expose retirement plans like 401(k)s to unsafe investments. Similar concerns were raised by another labor group in October. Meanwhile, former President Trump has issued an executive order to allow cryptocurrencies in 401(k) plans, and some asset managers have already started including crypto in retirement portfolios. The Senate is expected to release an updated draft of the bill soon.

Short the dip and buy the rip? What FOMC outcomes reveal about Bitcoin price action

Bitcoin's price action around 2025 FOMC meetings reveals a pattern of pre-event speculation often leading to post-announcement sell-offs, even during rate cuts. Data from seven meetings shows 7-day returns ranging from +6.9% to -8%, with the two 25-bps cuts in September and October resulting in the largest declines of -6.9% and -8%, respectively. Key drivers include anticipatory positioning, where traders front-run expected outcomes, leading to overleveraged markets and thin spot liquidity. This often causes volatility compression before meetings and expansion afterward as traders reduce exposure. FOMC events act less as directional catalysts and more as reset points for overstretched positioning.
