XVC Tech, the venture capital arm of the XDC Network, today announced its investment in the Laser Digital Carry Fund (LCF), a market-neutral digital asset strategy managed by Laser Digital, the digital asset subsidiary of Nomura Holdings. As part of this collaboration, Libre, a regulated infrastructure provider for tokenized investment products will deploy its on-chain issuance and management framework on the XDC Network.

Libre’s integration brings a regulatory-compliant mechanism for the distribution of tokenized financial products to institutional and accredited investors on XDC Network. Having enabled tokenization of a broad range of strategies like regulated hedge funds, money market funds, and private credit including those managed by BlackRock, Brevan Howard, Hamilton Lane, and Laser Digital, Libre’s infrastructure supports the full lifecycle of fund issuance, including on-chain subscription, redemption, and transfer capabilities. This deployment marks a key step in extending access to regulated investment opportunities for institutional and accredited investors across the XDC ecosystem.

“This partnership with Laser Digital and Libre accelerates the integration of institutional capital into our blockchain through trusted and compliant frameworks,” said Thibault Delrue, Investment Manager at XVC Tech. “Libre’s deployment will make tokenized funds from some of the world’s largest asset managers accessible and mintable directly on our network, further extending our ecosystem of institutional partners.”

By combining Libre’s on-chain fund issuance infrastructure with XDC Network’s scalable, EVM-compatible infrastructure, the collaboration sets the stage for broader institutional adoption of blockchain-native financial products.

 
“We are excited to expand the reach of the Laser Carry Fund through XDC’s high-performance infrastructure,” said Florent Jouanneau, Partner at Laser Digital. “Libre’s deployment represents a meaningful step toward unlocking cross-chain composability and extending institutional-grade investment access to new blockchain ecosystems.”

The Laser Digital Carry Fund is a high-yield, market neutral strategy that takes advantage of funding rates and yield opportunities in the digital asset market. Through Laser Digital’s heritage, the Laser Digital Carry Fund capitalises on capital markets and risk management expertise in traditional and digital markets.

“Bringing the Libre Gateway to XDC reflects our commitment to enabling institutional and accredited investors to access top-tier real-world assets via secure and compliant blockchain infrastructure,” said Dr. Avtar Sehra, CEO of Libre. “XDC’s low-cost, high-throughput environment provides an ideal foundation for issuing and managing tokenized funds at scale.”

PYTH NETWORK: The pursuit of transparency 🦅

September 01, 2025
True Story😉

RLUSD adoption will increase demand for XRP. On-Demand Liquidity allows XRP to move large tokenized assets efficiently, bridging digital and traditional finance and supporting global liquidity.

Ever notice how TV shows drop subliminal messages that reveal the story without telling you? The same thing is happening in finance. RLUSD is quietly stepping in to buy US bonds and absorb debt. XRP handles the settlements. Connect the dots, this is the blueprint for global liquidity.

Theta Edgecloud 🚀

(((What EdgeCloud Actually Offers)))

Distributed GPU Network

Thousands of small GPU nodes worldwide.

Businesses don’t need to own or rent giant data center GPUs; they can tap into the network on-demand.

Pay-as-you-go AI compute

Instead of renting a full GPU for a month, you can run inference workloads by the minute or per-token.

Lower barrier to entry for small devs or startups.

Scalability

If a company suddenly needs 10,000 GPUs worth of compute (AI video transcoding, bulk inference, live streaming tasks), EdgeCloud can provision across its decentralized network.

This would be impossible or prohibitively expensive to build in-house.

Specialized workloads

Theta is targeting video, streaming, and real-time AI (things like live video captioning, AI-generated avatars, NFT DRM, etc.).

Use cases where edge-location compute (close to end users) reduces latency.

(((Do businesses need it?)))

Yes, for certain cases:

A streaming platform that needs AI-powered real-time video enhancement.

A gaming or metaverse project requiring low-latency AI NPCs or avatars.

An enterprise needing burst access to GPUs without managing their own...

Guess what's coming next... 😉

The Great Onboarding: US Government Anchors Global Economy into Web3 via Pyth Network

For years, the crypto world speculated that the next major cycle would be driven by institutional adoption, with Wall Street finally legitimizing Bitcoin through vehicles like ETFs. While that prediction has indeed materialized, a recent development signifies a far more profound integration of Web3 into the global economic fabric, moving beyond mere financial products to the very infrastructure of data itself. The U.S. government has taken a monumental step, cementing Web3's role as a foundational layer for modern data distribution. This door, once opened, is poised to remain so indefinitely.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has officially partnered with leading blockchain oracle providers, Pyth Network and Chainlink, to distribute critical official economic data directly on-chain. This initiative marks a historic shift, bringing immutable, transparent, and auditable data from the federal government itself onto decentralized networks. This is not just a technological upgrade; it's a strategic move to enhance data accuracy, transparency, and accessibility for a global audience.

Specifically, Pyth Network has been selected to publish Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data, starting with quarterly releases going back five years, with plans to expand to a broader range of economic datasets. Chainlink, the other key partner, will provide data feeds from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), including Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index. This crucial economic information will be made available across a multitude of blockchain networks, including major ecosystems like Ethereum, Avalanche, Base, Bitcoin, Solana, Tron, Stellar, Arbitrum One, Polygon PoS, and Optimism.

This development is closer to science fiction than traditional finance. The same oracle network, Pyth, that secures data for over 350 decentralized applications (dApps) across more than 50 blockchains, processing over $2.5 trillion in total trading volume through its oracles, is now the system of record for the United States' core economic indicators. Pyth's extensive infrastructure, spanning over 107 blockchains and supporting more than 600 applications, positions it as a trusted source for on-chain data. This is not about speculative assets; it's about leveraging proven, robust technology for critical public services.

The significance of this collaboration cannot be overstated. By bringing official statistics on-chain, the U.S. government is embracing cryptographic verifiability and immutable publication, setting a new precedent for how governments interact with decentralized technology. This initiative aligns with broader transparency goals and is supported by Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, positioning the U.S. as a world leader in finance and blockchain innovation. The decision by a federal entity to trust decentralized oracles with sensitive economic data underscores the growing institutional confidence in these networks.

This is the cycle of the great onboarding. The distinction between "Web2" and "Web3" is rapidly becoming obsolete. When government data, institutional flows, and grassroots builders all operate on the same decentralized rails, we are simply talking about the internet—a new iteration, yes, but the internet nonetheless: an immutable internet where data is not only published but also verified and distributed in real-time.

Pyth Network stands as tangible proof that this technology serves a vital purpose. It demonstrates that the industry has moved beyond abstract "crypto tech" to offering solutions that address real-world needs and are now actively sought after and understood by traditional entities. Most importantly, it proves that Web3 is no longer seeking permission; it has received the highest validation a system can receive—the trust of governments and markets alike.

This is not merely a fleeting trend; it's a crowning moment in global adoption. The U.S. government has just validated what many in the Web3 space have been building towards for years: that Web3 is not a sideshow, but a foundational layer for the future. The current cycle will be remembered as the moment the world definitively crossed this threshold, marking the last great opportunity to truly say, "we were early."

US Dept of Commerce to publish GDP data on blockchain

On Tuesday during a televised White House cabinet meeting, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced the intention to publish GDP statistics on blockchains. Today Chainlink and Pyth said they were selected as the decentralized oracles to distribute the data.

Lutnick said, “The Department of Commerce is going to start issuing its statistics on the blockchain because you are the crypto President. And we are going to put out GDP on the blockchain, so people can use the blockchain for data distribution. And then we’re going to make that available to the entire government. So, all of you can do it. We’re just ironing out all the details.”

The data includes Real GDP and the PCE Price Index, which reflects changes in the prices of domestic consumer goods and services. The statistics are released monthly and quarterly. The biggest initial use will likely be by on-chain prediction markets. But as more data comes online, such as broader inflation data or interest rates from the Federal Reserve, it could be used to automate various financial instruments. Apart from using the data in smart contracts, sources of tamperproof data 👉will become increasingly important for generative AI.

While it would be possible to procure the data from third parties, it is always ideal to get it from the source to ensure its accuracy. Getting data directly from government sources makes it tamperproof, provided the original data feed has not been manipulated before it reaches the oracle.

Note that in case of issues, usually only queries relating to official wallets can be answered in Cardano groups across telegram/forum. You may need to consult with specific wallet support teams for third party wallets.

Tips

  • Its is important to ensure that you're in sole control of your wallet keys, and that the keys used can be restored via alternate wallet providers if a particular one is non-functional. Hence, put extra attention to Non-Custodial and Compatibility fields.
  • The score column below is strictly a count of checks against each feature listed, the impact of specific feature (and thus, score) is up to reader's descretion.
  • The table represents current state on mainnet network, any future roadmap activities are out-of-scope.
  • Info on individual fields can be found towards the end of the page.
  • Any field that shows partial support (eg: open-source field) does not score the point for that field.

  • Non-Custodial: are wallets where payment as well as stake keys are not shared/reused by wallet provider, and funds can be transparently verified on explorer
  • Compatibility: If the wallet mnemonics/keys can easily (for non-technical user) be used outside of specific wallet provider in major other wallets
  • Stake Control: Freedom to elect stake pool for user to delegate to (in user-friendly way)
  • Transparent Support: Easy approachability of a public interactive - eg: discord/telegram - group (with non-anonymous users) who can help out with support. Twitter/Email supports do not count for a check
  • Voting: Ability to participate in Catalyst voting process
  • Hardware Wallet: Integration with atleast Ledger Nano device
  • Native Assets: Ability to view native assets that belong to wallet
  • dApp Integration: Ability to interact with dApps
  • Stability: represents whether there have been large number of users reporting missing tokens/balance due to wallet backend being out of sync
  • Testnets Support: Ability to easily (for end-user) open wallets in atleast one of the cardano testnet networks
  • Custom Backend Support: Ability to elect a custom backend URL for selecting alternate way to submit transactions transactions created on client machines
  • Single/Multi Address Mode: Ability to use/import Single as well as Multiple Address modes for a wallet
  • Mobile App: Availability on atleast one of the popular mobile platforms
  • Desktop (app,extension,web): Ways to open wallet app on desktop PCs
  • Open Source: Whether the complete wallet (all components) are open source and can be run independently.
