Superstate introduced Direct Issuance Programs (DIPs), a new platform for capital formation by using tokenized shares on Ethereum. The platform allows SEC-registered public companies to issue new stock directly to eligible global investors, bypassing traditional broker-dealers, significantly reducing underwriting and distribution costs. Investors can purchase shares using stablecoins. Superstate's transfer-agent infrastructure updates a shareholder registry in real time. The system grants issuers greater control over pricing, timing, and offering size, and provides immediate access to capital. The first offerings are anticipated to go live in 2026. Superstate is a tokenized fund focused on RWA with over $1b in AUM.

Celo successfully activated its Jello hardfork, bringing OP Succinct Lite on Celo mainnet. The activation transitions Celo into a production-ready ZK fault-proof rollup. OP Succinct Lite is a simplified version of the OP Succinct for integrating Zero-Knowledge Proofs on OP Stack rollups. Celo is the first chain to fully implement OP Succinct Lite. The upgrade also introduces a Challenger Set to monitor proposer behavior. The set initially consists of five independent ecosystem challengers and one challenger operated by cLabs. Celo has over 700k users on the network and over $200 million in stablecoin TVL.

Gauntlet expanded the cross-chain supply options for its Gauntlet USD Alpha ($gtUSDa) stablecoin yield product, now supporting USDC supply from Ethereum mainnet in addition to Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism. The strategy, which aims for a sustainable, risk-adjusted yield, automatically rebalances capital across Morpho vaults. The Alpha vault leverages Gauntlet's optimisation engine and will combine both variable-rate and fixed-rate yield opportunities in a future update.
