Ondo Brings Over 100 Tokenized US Stocks to BNB Chain

Ondo Global Markets has launched over 100 tokenized US stocks and ETFs on BNB Chain, expanding blockchain access to Wall Street assets. The integration opens trading to BNB Chain’s 3.4 million daily users through PancakeSwap, the network’s dominant decentralized exchange.

The expansion follows Ondo’s September rollout on Ethereum, where its platform surpassed $350 million in total value locked within weeks. Founder Nathan Allman said the expansion strengthens Ondo’s mission to "make US financial markets globally accessible through blockchain technology."

BNB Chain’s ecosystem, backed by partners like AWS and Mastercard, will enable interoperability for tokenized securities across major blockchains. Ondo’s infrastructure will connect regional investors in Asia and Latin America to tokenized assets traditionally restricted to US-based brokerage systems.

Sarah Song, Head of Business Development at BNB Chain, said real-world assets are now the network’s fastest-growing category. She added that Ondo’s arrival marks a "new phase of adoption" linking traditional finance with onchain liquidity and decentralized trading architecture.

World Partners With Mythical Games for Human Verification

Sam Altman’s World project is teaming with Mythical Games to introduce proof-of-human digital IDs in gaming. The integration will verify player identities across titles like FIFA Rivals, NFL Rivals, and Pudgy Party, distinguishing humans from bots. Both firms said the system helps protect in-game economies and preserve fairness across competitive multiplayer environments worldwide.

World’s ID system requires in-person biometric verification before rewarding participants with WLD tokens for confirming their humanity. Mythical Games will also build its MYTHOS blockchain as the first Layer 3 network using World’s infrastructure. Executives said the collaboration supports transparent, bot-free ecosystems that can scale across sports, collectible, and metaverse-based gaming platforms.

MegaETH Token Auction Ends 27.8x Oversubscribed

MegaETH concluded its public token auction on Thursday after investors committed more than $1.39 billion in bids, 27.8 times capacity. The Ethereum Layer 2 project capped the sale at $50 million despite continued demand beyond its $0.0999 clearing price. Participants ranged from early backers to retail investors seeking allocations in what became one of crypto’s largest community sales.

The auction followed a 72-hour English format allowing minimum contributions of $2,650 per verified participant globally. MegaETH confirmed that allocations will finalize November 5, with refunds beginning shortly after for unfilled bids. The project’s team said the sale’s structure promotes broad distribution while rewarding early supporters through transparent and tiered participation mechanisms.

Western Union Files Trademark for "WUUSD" Token

Western Union has filed a US trademark application for "WUUSD", signaling an expanded blockchain strategy beyond its announced USDPT stablecoin. The October 29 filing covers crypto wallets, payments, and exchange services under the company’s global financial brand portfolio. Analysts said the filing indicates Western Union’s intent to unify digital asset offerings across retail and institutional markets.

WUUSD could serve as a consumer-facing token or complement the Anchorage-issued USDPT expected to launch in 2026. The firm’s stablecoin initiative aims to modernize remittance infrastructure and improve cross-border settlement efficiency worldwide. Industry observers expect Western Union’s Digital Asset Network to drive adoption in high-inflation markets seeking faster, dollar-backed payment options.

Data of the day

Ethereum network activity continues climbing, with over 1.6 million daily transactions despite transaction fees hovering around one cent. Blockchain data shows stable Ethereum gas prices near 0.16 gwei, marking record affordability compared with previous congestion cycles. Analysts said this reflects the network’s improved scalability and capacity following multiple major upgrades since early 2024.

Recent Dencun and Pectra upgrades doubled throughput while cutting Layer 2 transaction costs by nearly half. Ethereum developers credited blob capacity expansion for easing mainnet pressure and stabilizing onchain pricing. With performance gains continuing, analysts expect enterprise adoption and DeFi activity to accelerate as network reliability reaches new all-time highs.
