$ROBO - Bybit will list Fabric Protocol (ROBO) on its spot trading platform on February 27, 2026. Deposits are available via Ethereum, Base, and BSC networks, with trading supported for Spot Grid Bots. ROBO is a decentralized infrastructure designed to coordinate robotics and AI workloads across various devices.

$ CC - Canton is a privacy-focused blockchain built for institutional financial assets and secure synchronization. The network enables private transactions while maintaining seamless interoperability across diverse financial systems. CC serves as the utility token used for network fees and incentivizing participants.

$ LIT - Lighter’s LLP Strategies successfully managed a $50M ARC position liquidation, protecting holders by capping losses at $75k. The system triggered Auto-Deleveraging (ADL) to limit downside risk while allowing profitable short traders to realize their gains. This "battle test" proved the protocol's ability to handle large-scale volatility while preserving capital for liquidity providers.

$INIT - Initia launched $iUSD, its native stablecoin backed by AUSD and bridged via LayerZero. Unlike other stablecoins, $iUSD returns yield to the ecosystem through DEX liquidity and lending. Users can earn a share of $35,000 in rewards by providing liquidity or depositing into vaults.

$ETH - Ethereum is transitioning to quantum-resistant hash-based signatures and STARKs to replace vulnerable BLS and KZG algorithms. The roadmap introduces native Account Abstraction (EIP-8141) and recursive proof aggregation to mitigate high gas costs. This multi-step plan ensures long-term security across consensus, data availability, and application-layer proofs.

ZachXBT exposed Axiom employees for abusing internal access to track private wallets of high-profile traders for insider trading. Senior BD employee Broox Bauer allegedly shared sensitive user data and strategized to profit $200K by exploiting lack of access controls. The investigation reveals widespread misconduct and a lack of monitoring at Axiom, potentially leading to legal action by the SDNY.

A trader profited $411.4K by betting on Axiom’s exposure by ZachXBT when odds were only 13.8%. Twelve suspected insider wallets earned over $1.02M total by predicting ZachXBT’s investigative reports. This suspicious activity highlights concerns about information leaks and front-running on prediction markets.

MetaMask and Mastercard launched their self-custodial crypto debit card across 49 U.S. states, including New York. Users can spend crypto directly from their wallets at 150M+ merchants without pre-loading funds onto centralized exchanges. The card offers up to 3% cashback and supports multiple stablecoins on networks like Linea and Base.

MEV Capital's AUM plummeted 80% to $300M from a $1.5B peak due to a stablecoin depeg event. The collapse followed liquidations in Elixir’s deUSD strategies, resulting in over $10M in direct losses. Luxembourg-based Belem Capital ended its mandate with the firm and internalized its asset management team.

Wallet in Telegram launched "Vaults," offering on-chain yield for BTC, ETH, and USDT holders. The self-custodial feature, powered by Morpho and Re7, provides up to 18% APY on USDT strategies. This integration aims to bring decentralized finance (DeFi) to Telegram's 150 million registered users.

$SRK , ESP - Upbit listed Seeker (SKR) and Espresso (ESP) in KRW, BTC, and USDT markets on February 24, 2026. SKR powers Solana's open mobile ecosystem, while ESP provides decentralized sequencing for Ethereum Layer 2 rollups. Both assets launched with initial trading restrictions on buy orders and price limits to ensure market stability.

$ESP, $GPS - Bithumb listed GoPlus (GPS) and Espresso (ESP) on its KRW market on February 24, 2026. GPS is a Web3 security layer on the Base network, while ESP provides decentralized sequencing for Ethereum L2 rollups. Both tokens are used for ecosystem utilities including staking and service fee payments.

$ETH - The Ethereum Foundation staked 70,000 ETH to generate sustainable yield for its future research and development operations. This strategic shift aims to reduce the need for direct ETH sales, ensuring long-term financial stability for the ecosystem. The move marks a transition toward using network rewards as a primary funding mechanism for the Foundation's treasury.

$ONDO - Binance is relaunching tokenized stock trading through a strategic partnership with RWA protocol Ondo Finance. The collaboration leverages Ondo’s infrastructure to offer on-chain exposure to major traditional equities for eligible users. This move marks Binance's return to the tokenized asset market with a renewed focus on regulatory compliance.

$FTT - The White House confirmed that President Trump will not pardon Sam Bankman-Fried, ending speculation about a potential sentence reduction. Despite an intense clemency campaign by SBF’s supporters, the administration is prioritizing strict accountability for the $8 billion FTX collapse. This decision ensures SBF will continue serving his 25-year prison sentence without executive intervention.

Meta is planning to relaunch its stablecoin project in the second half of 2026 for global payments. The initiative aims to integrate digital currency within WhatsApp and Instagram while adhering to new regulatory standards. This move marks Mark Zuckerberg's second major crypto attempt following the cancellation of Libra/Diem.

Bitwise acquired Chorus One to bolster its institutional staking capabilities across 30+ PoS networks.

The deal allows the asset manager to integrate professional staking rewards directly into its suite of investment products. This acquisition highlights a strategic move to control the infrastructure behind institutional crypto "total return" strategies.

WisdomTree launched 24/7 trading and instant settlement for its tokenized money market fund shares on WisdomTree Prime. The feature allows users to convert fund shares to cash or use them for transactions immediately, even outside traditional banking hours. This initiative enhances the utility of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) by providing constant liquidity and capital efficiency.

Hong Kong-based RedotPay is exploring a U.S. IPO with a potential valuation of $1 billion. The firm specializes in crypto-linked debit cards and infrastructure for stablecoin-based payments. This move reflects the rising institutional interest in digital asset payment solutions globally.

The Trump administration is weighing a new requirement for banks to collect and report the citizenship status of their customers. Proponents argue the rule would enhance national security and financial oversight, while critics cite privacy and discrimination concerns. This policy could significantly alter KYC protocols and impact banking access for millions of immigrants in the U.S.
