Base crossing the $2 billion TVL line is one of those milestones that matters because it is hard to fake. Liquidity can move, of course, but total value locked still gives a useful read on where users and capital are act
Secret Network plans SCRT migration to Arbitrum through a September 2026 snapshot process. The move follows bridge security concerns and aims to access deeper Ethereum liquidity. SCRT holders must prepare eligible tokens before migration approval and implementation. Secret Network is proposing a major transition from Cosmos to Arbitrum after security concerns, declining liquidity, and ecosystem […]

A privacy-focused blockchain abandoning the network it was built on is not something that happens quietly. Secret Network, which has been running privacy-preserving smart contracts on Cosmos since 2020, is now proposing a full migration to Ethereum layer-2 Arbitrum — and the driving force behind the Secret Network Arbitrum move is not just declining liquidity. It is the rising capability of artificial intelligence to crack old, poorly maintained code. Key takeaways Secret Network is proposing to leave Cosmos for Ethereum layer-2 Arbitrum, citing AI-assisted exploit risks and ecosystem liquidity decline. A $4.7 million Axelar-Secret IBC bridge exploit in June underscored the vulnerability of aging infrastructure, though the SCRT token itself was not affected. Cosmos ecosystem TVL has dropped 88% since its 2021 peak to roughly $2 billion; Arbitrum leads all layer-2 networks with $17.4 b
The post Base activates B20 token standard for stablecoins and tokenized assets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Base has activated its B20 token standard on the mainnet, allowing developers to issue native stablecoins, tokenized real-world assets, and other fungible tokens without deploying custom ERC-20 smart contracts. Summary Base has activated the B20 token standard on mainnet, allowing developers to issue native stablecoins, tokenized real world assets, and other fungible tokens. The protocol includes built in issuer controls while remaining compatible with ERC 20 wallets, exchanges, and other supporting infrastructure. The B20 launch comes after recent Base sequencer outages and the one day delay of the Beryl network upgrade. According to Base documentation, the B20 standard went live on the network at 6:00 pm UTC, enabling developers to begin creating tokens under the protocol-level framework introduced through the Beryl upgrade. The launch allows issuers to create stableco

The post Tether’s USDT supply contracts on Ethereum and TRON appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Tether’s USDT supply is contracting, after a $2.5B burn on the Ethereum network. The stablecoin just saw its biggest burn since February, potentially signaling liquidity outflows. Tether’s treasury burned $2.5B worth of USDT tokens on July 7, the largest supply contraction since February. The Tether treasury destroyed $3.5B of tokens on February 10, as a response to general trading contraction and removing USDT from legacy networks. As a result, Tether retains a $189.6B supply of USDT, mostly using Ethereum and TRON for transfers. USDT is closely watched for the effect of Euro Area regulations, and as a general signal for the health of the crypto ecosystem. The supply burn also traces a larger trend in stablecoin liquidity. Active addresses declined by 36.2% in the past 30 days, according to Artemis data. Average daily stablecoin volume is down by 47.5%. USDT and its closest rival, Cir
The post Base To Launch B20 Standard For Fungible Tokens On Mainnet appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Coinbase-backed Ethereum layer-2 network Base is set to activate its B20 token standard on mainnet, introducing a native framework for stablecoins, tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) and other fungible tokens. According to Base documentation, B20 is scheduled to go live at 6 pm UTC on the mainnet, enabling developers to begin creating tokens under the new standard. The activation will enable developers to use Base’s native token standard to create stablecoins, RWAs, tokenized equities and other fungible tokens without requiring them to build and audit custom ERC-20 contracts. The standard supports two variants: asset and stablecoin. The asset variant has configurable decimals between six and 18, while the stablecoin variant has fixed six-decimal formatting and requires issuers to specify a fiat currency denomination, such as the US dollar or euro. B20 supports two variants. Source:
The B20 standard's activation could significantly bolster Base's position in institutional token markets, potentially influencing future token launches.
