  • XRPL wants a Hyperliquid-like sidechain for the $40B options trading market, but one design choice could decide everything
    CryptoSlate - 10:32 Mar 03, 2026
    A proposal circulating in the XRP Ledger (XRPL) community is aiming at one of crypto’s most entrenched trading businesses: options. The idea is to build a purpose-built XRPL sidechain that feels “Hyperliquid-like,” a venue designed for exchange-grade execution, then connect that activity back to the XRPL base layer through bridging. In the proposal’s document, Hyperliquid […] The post XRPL wants a Hyperliquid-like sidechain for the $40B options trading market, but one design choice could decide everything appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • XRP faces a brutal 2026 paradox as XRPL adoption surges and the token captures little value
    CryptoSlate - 19:25 Mar 02, 2026
    The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is starting to look like a financial back end that traditional finance can adopt without changing itself too much. This is because tokenized funds can sit on the ledger, and stablecoins can move across it. At the same time, protocol upgrades keep landing, including features designed for institutions that want on-chain […] The post XRP faces a brutal 2026 paradox as XRPL adoption surges and the token captures little value appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    Revolut is preparing to trial a pound-backed stablecoin inside a regulated stablecoin sandbox in the UK, with testing expected within the current quarter.

  • Bitcoin ETF custody concentrates power in one place, and now a single operational failure causes dangerous ripples
    CryptoSlate - 14:05 Mar 02, 2026
    When markets are closed and Bitcoin is moving, the custody agreement decides who can act. A spot Bitcoin ETF fixed an awkward problem for finance. Bitcoin used to arrive as software, keys, and operational responsibility. The ETF repackaged it as a ticker that sits next to every other ticker. That convenience came with a structural […] The post Bitcoin ETF custody concentrates power in one place, and now a single operational failure causes dangerous ripples appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • Bitcoin developer hides a 66KB image in a transaction to expose a governance blind spot vulnerable to spam

Anyone can verify the bytes using standard node software.
