Bringing over $1B in on-chain assets to Aptos from day one.
PACT Protocol today launched on Aptos Network, bringing fully on-chain lending and securitization infrastructure for licensed lenders in emerging markets to the high-performance blockchain. This launch brings over $1 billion in on-chain assets onto Aptos and follows nine months of incubation and collaboration with the Aptos Foundation.
PACT enables lenders to originate, securitize, and service loans with greater efficiency, as well as ensure borrowers, originators, and institutional investors can operate in a transparent, efficient, and scalable financial environment. PACT is the first participant in Aptos Foundation’s incubation pilot, a program aimed at supporting and scaling high-impact blockchain projects. Aptos Labs provided strategic and technical consultation for the partnership.
On-chain credit infrastructure is transforming global finance, particularly in emerging markets where traditional banking services remain out of reach for 85% of the world’s population. By launching on Aptos, PACT is expanding access to credit in underserved markets, making borrowing more affordable and inclusive globally.
“This partnership is expanding financial access to those who need it most– users who live in emerging markets across the globe,” said Ash Pampati, Head of Ecosystem, Aptos. “I’m thrilled to see the impact it will have on the Aptos ecosystem and beyond.”
“This is what real-world blockchain adoption looks like,” said Solomon Tesfaye, Head of Capital Markets at Aptos Labs, who provided strategic consultation for the partnership. “PACT’s integration with Aptos provides a transparent and scalable solution that reduces costs and expands credit opportunities for underserved communities worldwide.”
PACT chose Aptos for the network’s institutional-grade infrastructure, scalability, and adoption in the financial sector. With support for native USDC and USDT, high-profile integrations, and the ability to process high transaction volumes with low fees, Aptos ensures seamless credit flows while maintaining security and reliability through its Move programming language. PACT Protocol utilizes BitGo for custody and compliance, the preferred security and operational backbone for more than 1,500 institutional clients in 50 countries.
“PACT’s transition to Aptos unlocks greater efficiency, broader institutional adoption, and real-world financial impact,” said Joshua March, President of Pact Labs, the technology and infrastructure provider behind the PACT Protocol. “With Aptos, we’re driving new levels of scalability, security, and speed, fundamentally transforming how credit markets operate on-chain.”
The PACT Protocol enables fintech lenders, institutional investors, and capital market participants to issue, manage, and securitize loans directly on-chain, reducing costs and expanding access to global credit markets. PACT has rapidly grown into one of the largest on-chain lending ecosystems, facilitating billions in loan originations while integrating with major financial institutions, stablecoin issuers, and DeFi platforms.
All existing PACT holders will have the opportunity to migrate their tokens to Aptos via an official 1:1 token bridge. The bridge will be available soon, with clear instructions provided. The total supply of PACT remains unchanged. While the Celo PACT token will continue to support ongoing initiatives, future governance, and ecosystem development will take place on Aptos as PACT transitions to its upgraded token. Community members are encouraged to participate in the migration to take full advantage of Aptos’ enhanced infrastructure, broader institutional adoption, and continued ecosystem growth.

Supra, the fully vertically integrated Layer-1 blockchain built with MultiVM support, in-protocol oracles, native onchain randomness, cross-chain communication, and automation capabilities, is pleased to announce the launch of its “DeFi Revolution” campaign, an industry-shifting drive to put more power, and more value back into the hands of DeFi builders and users.
With the full vertical integration of smart contracts, native oracles, and enshrined automation into Supra’s high-performance Layer 1 blockchain, they’re introducing truly novel chain-level strategies for auto-arbitrage, auto-liquidations, and MEV protection to pioneer a new DeFi paradigm; one that eliminates inefficiencies, prevents external forces from taking value away from the ecosystem, and creates a fairer and more transparent ecosystem.
“DeFi today is still ‘dependent finance,'” said Joshua Tobkin, CEO and Co-Founder of Supra. “Protocols rely on external liquidators, arbitrageurs, and MEV exploiters, all of whom take some value away from the ecosystem — and from the community. This so-called ‘DeFi’ landscape has deep flaws—but with Supra’s fully integrated stack, we’re giving builders the tools to take back control, increase execution quality, and create a DeFi ecosystem that works for them. This is the DeFi Revolution.”
Supra’s DeFi Revolution: Protecting User’s Value, Upgrading Execution Quality
Supra’s native Layer 1 automation removes the need for external actors to facilitate DeFi transactions, ensuring more value stays within the ecosystem by seriously upgrading their DeFi execution quality. This will be achieved through three game-changing execution mechanisms:
- MEV Resistance: Mitigates toxic front-running & sandwich attacks with transaction ordering randomization using Supra’s cryptographic threshold signature scheme.
- Auto-Liquidations: Native automation enables zero-block delay liquidations, preventing cascading failures and maintaining DeFi protocol solvency.
- Auto-Arbitrage: Ensures tighter spreads and better pricing by executing arbitrage trades at the protocol level, keeping profits within the ecosystem.
Now, while MEV resistance keeps transaction execution fairer and retains more value in the hands of traders and builders, auto-liquidations and auto-arbitrage is expected to generate a fresh source of sustainable revenue for the network. Supra plans to use this in two ways:
- Revenue Sharing: Value captured through these systems is planned to be split as rev-share across dApps, node operators, and treasury.
- Decentralized Network Treasury: Part of the network revenue fuels a network-owned treasury ruled by decentralized governance — controlled by the community, for the community.
“Execution quality is the north star for Supra,” said Tobkin. “With these new automated execution systems, we’re working towards ensuring fairer transactions, better liquidity, and stronger DeFi incentives, all without reliance on external actors that take value away from the network.”
Join the DeFi Revolution on Supra
Supra’s DeFi Revolution is just getting started, and builders, liquidity providers, and DeFi users alike are invited to be part of this new era of execution quality, fair incentives, and sustainable value flow.

KuCoin EU will set up its headquarters in Vienna, Austria, marking the city a strategic hub for all European activities and is actively hiring talents for its operations. The decision to choose Austria was primarily driven by the timely implementation of the MiCAR accompanying laws, stable and foreseeable regulatory environment as well as the huge talent pool. KuCoin EU acknowledges Austria’s efforts, e.g. driven by the City of Vienna, in creating a transparent, efficient, and best-in-class framework for crypto businesses to operate while safeguarding investors interests and fostering innovation in the financial sector.

By advancing our compliance efforts, we are poised to better serve local users with more convenient, secure, and seamlessly localized products and experiences. We remain dedicated to fostering a transparent, responsible, and sustainable global digital asset ecosystem.”
Oliver Stauber, former General Counsel and Managing Director at Bitpanda, and Christian Niedermueller, former CEO of another European digital asset exchange, both veterans of the European crypto industry and seasoned financial executives with legal background, have been appointed as the Managing Directors of KuCoin EU Exchange GmbH. Stauber and Niedermueller bring extensive expertise in financial market regulation and crypto exchange management, strengthening KuCoin’s leading position as it navigates the complexities of Europe’s evolving crypto regulations while ensuring a successful and regulatory compliant business operation in the EU and EEA.

Upon receiving the MiCAR license we are committed to delivering secure, compliant, and cutting-edge crypto solutions that will redefine trust and innovation in the EU’s fintech arena. Get ready for a new era in crypto!” – Oliver Stauber, CEO of KuCoin EU
“After having scaled up another European exchange and having my toes in the digital asset industry now for more than 9 years, I am very happy to help bringing KuCoin to the next level in Europe. We aim to build a fantastic local team, have a sophisticated localized operational & product setup and also strengthen brand awareness massively in the years to come. Being a KuCoin customer myself since the very beginning in 2017, I couldn’t be prouder to support KuCoin now at this stage.” – Christian Niedermueller, COO of KuCoin EU
Once KuCoin EU has been granted its MiCAR license, KuCoin EU will be well-positioned to provide services for European users, offering access to a wide range of digital assets while ensuring compliance with EU regulations. The company’s long-term vision includes contributing to the broader adoption of blockchain technology and strengthening the EU’s position as a leader in the global crypto ecosystem.
As KuCoin takes this step forward, the exchange remains focused on fostering innovation and trust in the digital asset space while aligning its operations with regulatory frameworks worldwide.

Diffuse, a zkServerless protocol, has announced a strategic collaboration with Symbiotic ecosystem to implement Collateral Abstraction, a groundbreaking approach set to revolutionize decentralized finance (DeFi). This partnership aims to unlock the untapped potential of assets locked across various Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks, enhancing capital efficiency and introducing a new DeFi primitive.
Currently, a significant amount of assets is locked in Uniswap V3 liquidity pools alone. While these assets facilitate liquidity provision for Automated Market Makers and lending protocols, their potential for generating additional yield remains underutilized. Through this collaboration, these assets can be utilized in restaking and shared security protocols, potentially generating additional yield while maintaining their current risk profile.
Collateral Abstraction, a concept introduced by Symbiotic, enables these assets to participate in restaking and shared security protocols, potentially increasing yield while maintaining a comparable risk profile. With Diffuse’s zkServerless technology, the implementation of Collateral Abstraction becomes both practical and scalable, ensuring trustless operations across multiple blockchain networks.
About Diffuse
Diffuse is a zkServerless protocol dedicated to redefining trustless interoperability in Web3. By leveraging advanced cryptographic techniques and decentralized technologies, Diffuse aims to create scalable, secure, and efficient solutions for the evolving DeFi landscape.
For more information, users can see Diffuse’s X (formerly Twitter) and visit Diffuse’s official website.

1. DigiFT is collaborating with Invesco to offer a tokenized solution for accredited and institutional investors on DigiFT Singapore’s platform to get access to one of Invesco’s private credit strategies.
2. It is the first and only token out of Singapore with daily trading that offers access to a private credit strategy.
SINGAPORE, Feb. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — DigiFT, a licensed on-chain exchange in Singapore is delighted to announce that the platform will offer a DigiFT token which will invest in Invesco’s private credit strategies.
DigiFT’s tokens will be available to accredited and institutional investors via DigiFT and accepts subscriptions and redemptions in fiat currencies like USD, and stablecoins like USDC and USDT. The strategy targets to provide a high level of current income, consistent with the preservation of capital, by investing primarily in senior secured loans to companies with stable operating profiles, dependable cash flow generation and strong asset coverage.
According to RWA.xyz, private credit is the most popular alternative asset class, accounting for 68% of tokenized real-world assets, outpacing even tokenized US Treasury Securities like T-Bills. This trend could continue as US Treasury rates are expected to come down from recent highs.
As RWAs continue to grow in popularity, DigiFT aims to be the preferred partner to leading institutional players. DigiFT was also recently appointed as an authorized distribution partner for another global asset manager in launching their first tokenized money market fund.
“We believe that working with the best teams, to bring the best in-class assets on-chain is more important than being the first to market. To bring truly institutional-grade assets on-chain requires nothing less than having the best partners in the business like Invesco,” said Henry Zhang, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of DigiFT.
“On the back of rapid developments in distributed ledger technology, fund tokenization is one of the most remarkable trends. Many advantages of this innovation are finding a new home in the asset management space, transforming the industry. We are excited that an innovative platform like DigiFT is offering this solution, opening up more investment opportunities for investors,” said Noelle Lim, Invesco’s CEO of Singapore and Head of Private Banks, Asia ex Japan.
DigiFT has also partnered with custodians like Copper, Komainu, Rakkar, and Zodia to provide seamless access to its tokenized RWAs for Web3 asset managers and owners such as hedge funds, buy-side trading firms, and DAO treasury managers.
DigiFT is actively seeking to partner with more issuers, DeFi protocols, dApps, and other Web3 protocols to enable users across different blockchains to access institutional-grade RWA yields on-chain.

DigiFT is the first regulatory-compliant exchange for on-chain real-world assets to be licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore as a Recognised Market Operator and Capital Markets Services provider.
