👀 Kraken Digital Asset Exchange is delisting Monero (XMR) for clients in the European Economic Area (EEA) due to regulatory changes. Starting October 31, 2024, at 15:00 PM UTC, trading and deposits of XMR will stop, and all open XMR orders will be closed. Clients can withdraw XMR until December 31, 2024. After that, Kraken will automatically convert any remaining XMR into Bitcoin (BTC) at the market rate, with the converted BTC distributed by January 6, 2025. Kraken emphasizes its commitment to offering a broad range of assets while complying with regulations. Official announcement here https://shorturl.at/uxQQf

🟢 Bitwise has filed for the first spot XRP ETF with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, allowing investors to gain exposure to XRP through a trust managed by Coinbase Custody. The filing follows Bitwise's earlier launches of Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs. If approved, the ETF will initially use a cash-create method for transactions but may switch to in-kind trades later. Industry experts view the filing as strategic, with growing interest in XRP ETFs signalled by other firms like Canary Capital. Official filings here https://shorturl.at/VXbAG

🚨 Franklin Templeton has added the Aptos blockchain to support its $435 million OnChain U.S. Government Money Market Fund (FOBXX), already available on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Stellar, and Polygon. Aptos, a Layer 1 blockchain launched in 2022, uses the Move programming language for faster transactions and was chosen for its suitability with Franklin's Benji platform. Aptos aims to bridge decentralized finance (DeFi) with traditional finance. The fund’s integration marks a step toward connecting both EVM and non-EVM networks in the Aptos ecosystem.

👀 What specific characteristics of the Aptos blockchain influenced Franklin Templeton's decision to integrate it into their Benji platform? We discuss this in today's episode
