The post Over $7.2 Billion Migrates From LayerZero To Chainlink CCIP As Mantle Joins The Exodus appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The multi-billion-dollar renovation of crypto’s cross-chain plumbing just picked up speed. More than $7.2 billion in total value has now migrated from LayerZero to Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), a wave that now includes Mantle, the Ethereum layer-2 network, as its most recent participant. The flows were detailed in the original report on the migration event. The movement isn’t a one-off. Projects Kelp and Lombard each brought over $1 billion when they made the switch earlier. Solv Protocol, Virtuals, Re, and tokenized assets from Kraken have also shifted their cross-chain messaging to CCIP. The sheer scale turns a series of protocol decisions into something that looks like a structural preference pivot—not just a change of vendor, but a bet on which interoperability standard will anchor the next phase of on-chain finance.

The post Arbitrum fee sharing Expands Revenue Model with Robinhood Chain appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Arbitrum’s fee-sharing arrangement with Robinhood Chain is more than a billing detail — it’s a structural shift in how the Ethereum scaling network plans to monetize the growing wave of enterprise chains being built on its technology. Key takeaways Arbitrum collects 10% of fees generated on Robinhood Chain and every other Layer 2 built on its Orbit framework. Of that 10%, 8% flows to the ARB tokenholder-controlled treasury and 2% is directed toward development. Arbitrum One, the flagship rollup, sends 100% of its own fees to the treasury — a separate arrangement from the Orbit chain model. Robinhood Chain launched its mainnet on July 1 with tokenized stocks, onchain lending, and agentic trading built into Robinhood’s app. The fee-sharing model applies to any Orbit-based Layer 2, not solely Robinhood Chain, broadening the revenue scope for ARB holders.

The post Ethereum’s newest nonprofit wants to become Wall Street’s guide to crypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
For Ethereum Institutional’s founders, becoming an independent nonprofit rather than remaining within the foundation was a deliberate choice. “The EF has always been quite vocal about its principle of subtraction,” Dawson said, referring to the organization diving up responsibilities for the network to other organizations . “This is an example of that increasing decentralization, and the number of nodes participating in representing Ethereum.” Operating outside the foundation also gives the organization greater freedom, Walsh said. “We feel like we have a lot more autonomy and freedom to work as an independent entity,” he said. “We can get a bit more opinionated, and a bit more aggressive, in terms of being able to support these teams.” For years, the Ethereum Foundation has walked a careful line in how much influence it exerts over the ecosystem. Its mandate has larg
The post Swift Readies Ledger for 24/7 Token Transfers—Though True Settlement Is Stuck on Old Rails appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
In brief Swift’s pilot allows 17 global banks to transfer tokenized deposits on weekends, but ultimate settlement still relies on legacy, business-hour systems. Participating institutions include major Global Systemically Important Banks such as Citi, HSBC, BNY, and Wells Fargo. Though built with Ethereum-compatible architecture, the blockchain-based ledger remains a largely centralized network. Swift, the financial gatekeeper connecting thousands of banks across the globe, said on Thursday that a dozen-plus institutions are preparing to use its “blockchain-based ledger.” The member-owned cooperative, which has functioned as the traditional financial system’s backbone for decades, expects 17 banks across six continents to participate in a pilot program involving the exchange of tokens that represent deposits, according to an announcement.
