Odaily reports: Trader Bonk Guy posted on X platform that despite a recent decline in PONS revenue, PONS remains the highest-fee and highest-revenue project in the Robinhood chain ecosystem across multiple timeframes including 24-hour, 3-day, and 7-day periods.
Bonk Guy believes that the revenue decline is primarily driven by an overall drop in activity across the Robinhood chain, rather than a weakening of the project's own competitiveness. He stated that the Robinhood chain ecosystem may have reached a cyclical bottom, and if on-chain activity recovers, PONS revenue could resume growth and potentially become one of the leading tokens in the next ecosystem rally.

Odaily News: Qivalis, a consortium backed by 37 major European banks, has been granted an electronic money institution (EMI) license by the Dutch central bank, bringing it closer to issuing a euro-denominated electronic money token. Qivalis still needs to meet the remaining requirements of the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), including publishing a whitepaper, and plans to distribute the token through banks, cryptocurrency trading platforms, and payment service providers in the coming months. The consortium was established in September 2025 and has now expanded to 37 European banks, including BBVA, BNP Paribas, ING, and DZ Bank, and has selected Fireblocks to provide digital asset infrastructure.
Odaily reports: Coins.ph stated that its Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) license remains valid, and denied knowingly serving offshore gaming or gambling operators. The company said user funds are safe and the platform will continue to operate as a BSP-licensed institution. The company did not directly state whether the relevant entities had used its platform.
The BSP previously required Coins.ph to strengthen internal controls and restrict InstaPay and PESONet transfers involving its operating entity DCPay Philippines. Coins.ph said that cash-in and QRPh collections are temporarily unavailable, but cryptocurrency trading, withdrawals, bill payments, and merchant QRPh payments remain accessible.
DCPay holds an Electronic Money Issuer license, while Betur Inc. operates Coins.ph's crypto asset services under a separate Virtual Asset Service Provider license. The restrictions are said to target DCPay's payment business, rather than Betur's crypto asset services. (Cointelegraph)
Odaily reports that Bybit has announced that starting with App version 5.26.0, the Bybit App homepage will adopt a multi-tab layout, consisting of "All," "Crypto," "Stocks," "Macro Assets," "Earn," and "Alpha."
- "Stocks" tab (newly launched): Supports trading over 10,000 stocks and the full range of TradFi perpetual contracts, allows tracking of global index funds, participation in Pre-IPO and IPO Express and other IPO subscription projects, and adds a new "Smart Money Institutional" module to track the capital movements of well-known institutions.
- "Macro Assets" tab (newly launched): Brings together commodities, forex, precious metals, and indices, supports BTC versus traditional asset price change comparison, an economic calendar, and a forex cross-rate matrix, with one-click trading.
After the redesign, the "All" and "Crypto" tabs have also been optimized, while "Earn" and "Alpha" remain unchanged.
Due to local laws and regulations, some of the above tabs, asset categories, or features (including but not limited to "Stocks" and "Macro Assets") may not be available in certain countries/regions, or may differ.
Odaily News: Recently, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han gave an exclusive interview to Fortune, sharing Gate's strategic thinking on evolving from a crypto asset trading platform into an integrated financial services application. During TOKEN2049 Singapore, Gate officially launched Gate Money, with "One Gate, Everything Money" as its core concept, bringing together fiat currency, digital assets, stocks, ETFs, gold, bank accounts, and payment services on a single platform. Users in eligible regions can open a global bank account in their own name online, and in the future will also be able to receive payments in more than 60 local currencies; Gate Card connects assets with consumption scenarios, enabling multiple asset types, including fiat currency, digital assets, tokenized gold, and stocks, to be used more flexibly for everyday payments. Gate Money also supports QR code payments via local payment codes in certain countries and regions.
Dr. Han stated that, building on Gate's long-accumulated capabilities in trading, liquidity, and asset services, Gate Money expands fund management and real-world payment scenarios. In his vision: "In users' minds, assets are inherently a whole. Even if they exist in five different forms, they should be managed in a unified way within one app." Therefore, Gate Money aims to let users complete holding, trading, exchange, yield management, and spending within the same account, and to provide more options for flows between different asset forms, rather than making judgments for users.
Currently, Gate serves more than 61 million users worldwide, covering over 130 countries and regions. Looking ahead to the next five years, Dr. Han expects the tokenization of traditional assets to continue advancing, and AI Agents to further change how users manage and use funds. From serving traders to connecting broader capital needs, Gate is extending its digital asset capabilities into more complete financial life scenarios.

Odaily News: Bonk Guy posted that he is bullish on the Robinhood chain ecosystem Meme coin VRAX's performance in the next market cycle. The token was initially launched amid related discussions during the Robinhood Summit, after which its price once fell by about 99%. He believes that concentrated holdings associated with the early development team may have largely exited.
Bonk Guy pointed out that Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev recently mentioned VRAX twice during a Q&A event on X, bringing it back to market attention. He believes that the Robinhood chain ecosystem may be nearing a phased bottom, and if on-chain activity subsequently recovers, VRAX is expected to become one of the main beneficiary tokens.
