Aave Plans RWA Hub

Decentralized finance protocol Aave plans to deploy an RWA hub on Avalanche focused on institutional borrowing. Through this infrastructure, approved entities will be able to access digital fiat liquidity by using tokenized financial instruments as collateral.

The initiative aims to address working capital needs across corporate portfolios. Under this framework, entities will be able to secure direct loans without liquidating their underlying on-chain holdings.

Aave Labs detailed in its official announcement that the platform will run on the Aave V4 deployment available on the Avalanche network. The technical design relies on a Hub and Spoke architecture, engineered to partition credit markets into independent modules.

Strategy Spent USD 950 Million on Buybacks

Strategy is using large-scale repurchases to push the price of its perpetual preferred stock (STRC) back toward the USD 100 par value in order to restore its Bitcoin financing ability. 

From July 20 to September 13, Strategy repurchased a total of 9.96 million shares of STRC, spending about USD 950 million, which accounted for approximately 18% of trading volume during the same period. 

About USD 765 million of those funds can be traced to sales of MSTR common stock, and about USD 161 million came from Bitcoin disposals.

STRC previously fell to about USD 70, and recently has risen to about USD 99 at its high. Analysts believe that only if the USD STRC price is near or at the USD 100 par value can Strategy more effectively reissue the security and use the raised funds to purchase Bitcoin.

Ripple's New Developer Kit Supports AI Payments

Ripple announced an expansion of its XRP Ledger developer toolkit, with the XRPL AI Starter Kit 1.1 adding support for the Machine Payment Protocol (MPP) and open wallet standard jointly developed by Stripe and payment chain Tempo. 

This update enables AI agents to pay for online services such as data and computing power using XRP and RLUSD and other tokens. 

Jazzi Cooper, RippleX product lead, said Ripple's goal is to make XRP and RLUSD the preferred payment options for developers building applications.

MPP allows AI agents to pay on demand: service providers quote prices for requests, agents authorize payments, and service providers deliver resources upon authorization; this standard was co-authored by payment company Stripe and payment chain Tempo.

Zcash Surges 15%

Zcash trades at USD 1,330, up 15% over the past 24 hours. The catalyst for the sharp jump traces back to the stalled CLARITY Act, whose failure to advance has left US crypto market structure rules in limbo, pushing traders toward assets that don’t depend on regulatory clarity to function, namely, privacy coins.

Paradigm co-founder Matt Huang added, disclosing his firm’s ZEC position in an X post describing Zcash as 'a private complement to Bitcoin.' 

Bitcoin held above USD 76,000 as the Fed signaled limited further tightening. Zcash holders recently backed proposals for faster transactions alongside bitcoin-style halving schedules, a governance signal that’s arguably as important as the price action itself.
