In coming weeks, Fidelity will introduce FIDD stablecoin
In the coming weeks, Fidelity Investments will launch its first stablecoin, Fidelity Digital Dollar, on Ethereum.
Fidelity will issue and maintain token reserves.
The news comes as legislators debate whether stablecoin issuers may share yield with clients under the CLARITY Act.
One of the first significant US conventional corporations to establish a stablecoin, the Fidelity Digital Dollar (FIDD), is Fidelity Investments.
The business will use Ethereum to launch the product to retail and institutional investors in the coming weeks, according to a Wednesday news statement. Fidelity Digital Assets, a federally licensed national bank, will issue FIDD and manage its reserve.
The company said users may access the token on major crypto exchanges and redeem it for $1 on Fidelity Digital Assets, Fidelity Crypto, and Fidelity Crypto for Wealth Management.
Fidelity Digital Assets President Mike O'Reilly said FIDD's debut follows years of study and development.
"At Fidelity, we have a long-standing belief in the transformative power of the digital assets ecosystem and have spent years researching and advocating for the benefits of stablecoins," he added.
The GENIUS Act has paved the way for stablecoin growth in the US. The launch of a fiat-backed stablecoin comes at a time of regulatory clarity, allowing for better customer support, market choice, and progress towards a more efficient financial system, according to O'Reilly.
The asset management tested a stablecoin early last year, but it didn't confirm any reports.
After Tether launched its USAT token on Tuesday, tailored for the US market within the GENIUS Act framework, Fidelity entered the stablecoin market.
The timing is crucial as legislators debate CLARITY Act measures that might allow stablecoin issuers to split income with clients.
On Tuesday, Standard Chartered's Head of Digital Assets Research, Geoffrey Kendrick, forecasted $500 billion in bank savings may move to stablecoins by 2028.

🔥 1inch denies involvement in 14 million token sale that sent $1INCH to record lows
The 1inch team has issued an official statement on X denying any involvement in the sale of 14 million $1INCH, its native cryptocurrency, an action that led to the token crashing to its all-time low on Tuesday, January 27.
Its statement on X read, “With respect to yesterday’s activity, no $1INCH was sold from wallets controlled by 1inch entities or our team, or our treasury multisigs. We do not control third-party holdings or their trading decisions.”
The 14 million token disposal worth $1.83 million triggered a market panic and caused the token to hit a downward trend. However, it began to show signs of recovery during the late hours of January 27, trading around $0.12 after hitting a record low of $0.1127.
However, that rally was short-lived, as it resumed its downward trend until the 1inch team released its public statement denying any involvement with the token sale. The token has gone up a bit and now trades at around $0.116, as of the time of writing.
The clarification comes after on-chain analyst Ember tracked the transaction to an address that had received 15 million $1$1INCH rough vesting unlocks approximately one year ago.
1inch team pledges to review tokenomics
In the same statement, 1inch informed its community that it plans to review aspects of its tokenomics structure in 2026, stating, “1inch Network this year plans to review aspects of its tokenomics to further strengthen resilience during market downturns and times of low liquidity.”
The team provided no specific details about proposed changes, but the announcement signals that it is an acknowledgment that some parts of its current token distribution model need updating.
The 1inch team stated that their mission and vision remain unchanged, writing, “It is that focus which has pushed our total swap volume to almost $800B since 2019 and allows us to sustain hundreds of millions in daily volume even during bear markets. 1inch is as strong today as ever.”

Vanar Chain is not designed around the same liquidity dynamics that drive most layer one ecosystems. Its core priority is controlling the long term cost of state. That matters because many chains eventually hit the same wall. As metadata accumulates, validator hardware requirements rise, operating margins shrink, and fees become unstable. That is the quiet failure mode most ledgers never advertise.
Vanar tackles this problem at the architectural level. Through its Neutron approach, it avoids persisting large raw files on chain. Instead of storing megabytes of metadata, it anchors compact semantic references measured in kilobytes. This is not just compression for efficiency. It prevents state growth from compounding into higher validator requirements, which is why transaction costs remain predictable even as usage scales.
While retail attention continues rotating through layered execution narratives, longer horizon capital is paying attention to a different signal. Vanar is moving toward usage based token burns tied to AI subscriptions rather than liquidity incentives. Those flows behave differently. They are driven by enterprise workloads such as RWA infrastructure and autonomous agents that depend on uptime and cost certainty, not short term yield extraction.
Viewed that way, Vanar is less a momentum play and more a structural response to the industry’s state bloat problem. It is not optimizing for maximum throughput during expansion cycles. It is optimizing for survivability once growth becomes constrained.

Bitcoin supply in loss is climbing once again. This could be a signal, or just background noise. This is what the smart money is watching:
The 365-day simple moving average for supply in loss has begun to trend up again. This is the percentage of Bitcoin holders currently holding their coins at a loss. The higher the number, the more coins are now worth less than what they were purchased for.
Why should this matter to you? The supply in loss increasing tends to indicate additional unease in the market. The first to fall is the short term holders. If this continues to trend down, those who have held their Bitcoin for longer will be next to fall in the squeeze.
This shift has nearly always occurred in early stage bear markets.
Not at the bottom of a crash, but in periods of time when great unease in sentiment is prevalent.
The current metric is up, but it is also not signaling complete capitulation.
We have seen this before in this cycle where there have been false alarms where losses have mounted before Bitcoin snapped to new highs.

Walrus is building decentralized storage for the parts blockchains can’t easily handle
big files, app data, media, and AI datasets.
Instead of relying on centralized cloud servers, Walrus keeps data encrypted, split across many nodes, and always available.
By working alongside blockchains like Sui, Walrus lets apps stay fully decentralized from execution to storage.
It’s quietly becoming the infrastructure layer for NFTs, games, AI platforms, and social networks that need scale without giving up user control.

Plasma is redefining stablecoin infrastructure Beyond Speed. In a market obsessed with raw performance Plasma takes a fundamentally different stance: real stablecoin infrastructure isn’t about chasing the fastest block times, it’s about predictable, reliable settlement that scales with real world demand.
Speed is easy to market but in financial systems where money and obligations matter, consistency under stress and controlled costs are what inspire confidence. Plasma is built with that philosophy at its core.
Plasma’s stablecoin first architecture combines high throughput with deterministic behavior under load. Its custom consensus (PlasmaBFT) delivers thousands of transactions per second with sub second finality while maintaining stable performance even during peak demand a crucial requirement for global payments, remittances and commerce.
At launch, Plasma supported over $2 billion in stablecoin liquidity across 100+ DeFi partners, and its zero fee USDT transfers lower barriers for everyday use.
Unlike networks built for broad experimentation, Plasma is purpose engineered to ensure settlement behaves the same way every day predictable, efficient and robust. For the future of digital money, consistency beats flashy benchmarks.
