Wyoming is using Chainlink to bring near-real-time reserve verification onchain for FRNT as the oracle provider expands its footprint across tokenized financial markets. The US state of Wyoming is adding near-real-time onchain reserve verification to its state-issued Frontier Stable Token through an expanded integration with blockchain oracle network Chainlink. The Wyoming Stable Token Commission said Wednesday it adopted Chainlink Proof of Reserve to publish verified data on FRNT’s reserves and token supply onchain. The system combines independent examinations by The Network Firm with Chainlink’s infrastructure to make the data available in near real time. Wyoming already publishes daily reserve attestations for FRNT, while the GENIUS Act requires monthly disclosures of reserve composition and outstanding stablecoin supply. The commission said the integration will provide more timely visibility into changes in FRNT’s backing between reporting periods. Read more -

Ondo says existing US securities laws can accommodate perpetual futures tied to individual stocks as regulators look to bring more derivatives activity onshore.

In three Aug. 24 comment letters to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Ondo argued that existing rules can accommodate perpetual stock futures while also accounting for modern margining practices and onchain market data. Ondo said its Panama-based affiliate already offers stablecoin-settled perpetual futures on individual US-listed stocks outside the United States, with the platform recording $8 billion in cumulative trading volume as of Aug. 14, around six weeks after its launch.

The plaintiffs didn’t dispute their involvement in the pig butchering scam, but claimed that Tether did not have the authority to freeze the $42 million at the time. Two Thai businessmen sued stablecoin issuer Tether in a New York district court, claiming it illegally froze $42.4 million in Tether USDt (USDT) in October, as part of a broader case tied to a pig butchering scheme. In a Monday court filing, the plaintiffs claimed that Tether illegally froze the $42 million without a warrant in October 2025, following an informal request from US Homeland Security Investigations. Authorities in the Eastern District of North Carolina only issued a seizure warrant for the funds later in February 2026, as part of a $61 million pig butchering case. The warrant directed the burn and reissuance of the tokens to a government wallet. Read more -

Digital asset investment manager Grayscale and the Crypto Council for Innovation (CCI) supported optional confidential pre-filing processes.
