Syndicate, the infrastructure layer for developing and scaling purpose-built chains, has teamed up with EigenCloud, the world’s first verifiable cloud platform, built on EigenLayer, to launch AVS Sequencer Networks, a new solution that makes it simple for Ethereum rollups to decentralize their sequencers without rebuilding their infrastructure.

Until now, rollups that wanted to decentralize faced a tough choice: rewrite large parts of their systems or stay reliant on a single, centralized sequencer.

AVS Sequencer Network removes that trade-off by letting teams deploy decentralized, programmable sequencer networks secured by native token staking — all while remaining compatible with major rollup frameworks like Arbitrum Nitro and OP Stack.

Decentralised sequencers are key to scaling Ethereum and delivering a community-owned internet, said Will Papper, Co-Founder at Syndicate. “Our partnership with EigenCloud makes this transition seamless for rollup teams, laying the foundation for horizontal scalability across thousands of purpose-built chains.”

At its core, the system replaces centralized control with collective verification. Syndicate Network provides programmable sequencer smart contracts, while EigenCloud contributes the validation and data infrastructure through its Actively Validated Services (AVS) and EigenDA.

Together, they ensure that blocks are sequenced and verified cryptographically by multiple operators instead of being controlled by a single party, improving fairness, transparency, and network resilience.

This addresses one of Ethereum’s biggest scalability challenges and advances the vision of a community-owned internet. With AVS Sequencer Networks, rollup teams can decentralize in days, not months, unlocking a more open and verifiable web where thousands of independent purpose-built chains can thrive in parallel.

“This collaboration transforms how rollups achieve decentralization,” said Sreeram Kannan, Founder and CEO at Eigen Labs. “It’s a true showcase of what EigenCloud was designed to support, letting developers decentralize their sequencing logic while maintaining Ethereum-level security.

With minimal integration, teams can now use Syndicate’s tools and EigenCloud’s infrastructure to launch new sequencers that are compatible with most rollup frameworks.”

Syndicate is the blockchain infrastructure layer for horizontally scaling Ethereum through purpose-built chains, customized, programmable, decentralized networks and sequencers designed for specific applications and their communities.

With Syndicate, developers can control how their chain operates from governance and fees to how transactions are processed and value circulates within their economy.

Backed by leading investors including a16z, Coinbase, Circle, IDEO, Electric Capital, Variant Fund, and CoinFund, Syndicate is building the foundation for a community-owned internet: networks owned by the people who build and use them everyday.

About EigenCloud

EigenCloud is the world’s first verifiable cloud, enabling developers to build applications, AI products, and AI agents that are provably trustworthy. Built on top of the EigenLayer restaking protocol, EigenCloud extends Ethereum’s security across the digital and even physical world, allowing developers to verify any input, event, or computation using cryptoeconomic guarantees.

With primitives like EigenAI for verifiable inference, EigenCompute for secure offchain execution, and EigenDA for high-throughput data availability, EigenCloud introduces verifiability-as-a-service to launch a new era of cloud computing.

Its services are backed by over $19B in staked assets, with more than 190 Autonomous Verifiable Services (AVSs) in development and 40+ live on mainnet.

Syndicate and EigenCloud are also launching a Design Partner Program for rollup teams and infrastructure providers who want early access to the technology. Full technical specifications and first deployments will be released in the coming weeks.

FalconX Acquires 21Shares, a leading Crypto Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) firm

Institutional crypto prime broker FalconX announced its acquisition of 21Shares, a leading issuer of cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs).

This deal, reported by outlets including the Wall Street Journal, CoinDesk, and Cointelegraph, marks FalconX’s third major transaction in 2025 and underscores accelerating consolidation in the digital asset space amid a more favorable U.S. regulatory environment, such as the recent GENIUS Act.

Terms are undisclosed but involve a mix of cash and FalconX shares. The merger combines 21Shares’ expertise in ETP design and distribution with FalconX’s $2 trillion+ trading infrastructure, serving over 2,000 institutional clients.

The combined entity plans to launch new regulated crypto investment products, focusing on derivatives and structured funds to bridge traditional finance and crypto. This expands FalconX beyond market-making into ETF/ETP issuance, enhancing global reach across the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.

Founded in 2018, the Zurich-based firm manages over $11 billion in assets across 55+ ETPs (e.g., Bitcoin, Ether, and token-specific products), primarily in Europe where such products predate U.S. approvals.

This follows a crypto M&A surge, including Coinbase’s $2.9B Deribit buy and Kraken’s $1.5B NinjaTrader deal, signaling mainstream institutional adoption.

FalconX CEO Raghu Yarlagadda emphasized the move as a “natural next step” for market efficiency, while 21Shares co-founder Hany Rashwan highlighted innovation in digital asset products.

Bealls Inc. Adds In-Store Crypto Payment Support

On October 20, 2025—coinciding with its 110th anniversary—U.S. retailer Bealls Inc. launched in-store cryptocurrency payments across all 660+ locations in 22 states, partnering with Flexa.

This makes Bealls the first national U.S. retailer to accept digital assets from any wallet across multiple blockchains, including majors (Bitcoin, Ethereum), stablecoins (USDC), and memecoins (Dogecoin, Shiba Inu).

Powered by Flexa Payments, the system integrates seamlessly with existing POS terminals, supporting 99+ cryptocurrencies from 300+ wallets. Transactions settle in sub-seconds with instant fiat/stablecoin payouts to merchants, minimizing volatility risks.

Applies to Bealls, Bealls Florida, and Home Centric brands for in-store purchases only online expansion TBD. No transaction fees for customers; security via blockchain confirmations.

With ~28% of U.S. adults 65M people holding crypto in early 2025, this taps growing demand for alternative payments. It follows similar moves by retailers like Overstock and Newegg, but stands out for scale and multi-chain support.

Bealls Chairman/CEO Matt Beall called it a step toward “reshaping global commerce,” while Flexa co-founder Trevor Filter praised Bealls’ legacy of innovation since 1915. This rollout highlights crypto’s shift from speculation to everyday utility, potentially boosting adoption as more chains integrate.

The merger strengthens FalconX’s ability to offer regulated crypto investment products like ETFs/ETPs, bridging traditional finance (TradFi) and crypto. This could attract institutional investors seeking exposure to crypto via familiar vehicles, especially in the U.S. where spot crypto ETFs have gained traction since 2024.

Combining FalconX’s trading infrastructure with 21Shares’ ETP expertise enables innovative offerings like crypto derivatives and structured funds. This could deepen liquidity and stabilize markets, appealing to risk-averse institutional players.

With 21Shares’ European and Asia-Pacific presence, FalconX gains a foothold in markets with mature ETP frameworks, potentially increasing its $2T+ trading volume and client base 2,000+ institutions.

The acquisition aligns with a favorable U.S. regulatory shift (e.g., GENIUS Act), easing crypto product approvals. This could accelerate launches of new ETFs, positioning FalconX-21Shares as a market leader in a less restrictive environment.

However, global regulatory fragmentation may complicate cross-border product standardization, requiring careful compliance navigation. The deal reflects a broader M&A wave signaling crypto’s maturation. Smaller players may struggle to compete, potentially leading to further consolidation or niche specialization.

Competitive pressure on rivals like Grayscale or BlackRock’s iShares could drive innovation but also margin compression in the ETF space. FalconX’s infrastructure could enhance price discovery and reduce volatility in ETPs by leveraging its market-making prowess.

However, integrating 21Shares’ $11B AUM into FalconX’s operations poses execution risks, such as operational scaling or client retention challenges. Overreliance on crypto market growth could expose the merged entity to downturns, especially if retail or institutional sentiment sours.

Implications of Bealls Inc. Adding In-Store Crypto Payments

Bealls’ move, as the first national U.S. retailer to accept crypto in-store across 660+ locations, normalizes digital assets for everyday purchases. With 28% of U.S. adults (~65M) holding crypto, this could drive spending, especially among younger, crypto-native consumers.

Supporting 99+ cryptocurrencies across multiple blockchains (via Flexa) sets a precedent, potentially pressuring competitors (e.g., Walmart, Target) to follow. This could accelerate crypto’s use as a payment rail, reducing reliance on traditional payment processors like Visa.

Flexa’s sub-second settlement and instant fiat/stablecoin payouts minimize volatility risks and transaction fees for Bealls, potentially lowering costs compared to card networks (2-3% fees). This could improve margins or allow competitive pricing.

Accepting memecoins (e.g., Dogecoin, Shiba Inu) alongside majors and stablecoins taps diverse crypto communities, potentially boosting foot traffic and brand loyalty among tech-savvy shoppers. Seamless POS integration via Flexa demonstrates blockchain’s practical utility, encouraging other retailers to adopt similar systems.

However, scaling to high transaction volumes across 660 stores tests blockchain network reliability (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum). Supporting multiple blockchains enhances accessibility but introduces complexity in wallet compatibility and user education, which could slow adoption if not user-friendly.

Bealls’ move reflects confidence in crypto’s staying power, potentially influencing investor sentiment and attracting more retail-focused blockchain development. Limited crypto wallet adoption and user unfamiliarity could hinder uptake, especially for in-store purchases requiring quick transactions.

Both developments reflect crypto’s shift from speculative asset to institutional and consumer utility, driven by infrastructure (FalconX-21Shares) and real-world adoption (Bealls). This could amplify market confidence and investment.

These moves signal crypto’s deepening integration into finance and commerce, but their success hinges on execution, regulatory clarity, and sustained market enthusiasm.

Coinbase Lists Keeta (KTA)

Coinbase has officially listed Keeta (KTA), the native token of the Keeta Network blockchain. This follows its addition to Coinbase’s listing roadmap back in early September 2025, alongside Noice (NOICE).

The full listing enables trading on Coinbase’s platform, boosting liquidity and accessibility for users. Coinbase confirmed the listing in a recent update, with trading pairs like KTA/USD now live. Community buzz on X formerly Twitter spiked overnight, with users sharing hype around the event and price potential.

KTA surged approximately 12-17% in the last 24 hours post-listing, reaching around $0.5054 up from recent lows. It’s still trading about 42% below its all-time high of $1.68. 24-hour trading volume hit $13.35M, with a market cap of roughly $186.41M.

You can now buy, sell, and custody KTA directly on Coinbase. It’s also listed on other exchanges like Kraken, MEXC, and NIO.

What is Keeta (KTA)?

Keeta Network is a Layer-1 blockchain designed for high-speed, compliant cross-chain transfers and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. Up to 11.2 million transactions per second (TPS) via a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) combined with Delegated Proof of Stake (dPoS).

Keeta’s Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) technology is a core component of its Layer-1 blockchain, enabling high-speed, scalable, and efficient transaction processing. Unlike traditional blockchains that rely on linear block structures, Keeta’s DAG offers a unique approach to achieving consensus and handling transactions.

What is DAG in Keeta?

A Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) is a data structure where transactions are represented as nodes, and edges connections show dependencies between them, forming a graph that flows in one direction without loops (hence “acyclic”).

In Keeta, DAG is combined with a Delegated Proof of Stake (dPoS) consensus mechanism to process transactions in parallel, boosting throughput and reducing latency.

Each transaction in Keeta’s DAG is a node. When a user submits a transaction, it references and validates two or more prior transactions parent nodes in the graph. This creates a web-like structure where transactions are interlinked, unlike a blockchain’s sequential chain of blocks.

Unlike traditional blockchains where miners or validators process transactions in batches (blocks), Keeta’s DAG allows multiple transactions to be confirmed simultaneously. Nodes (users or validators) add their transactions to the graph, and each new transaction helps confirm earlier ones, creating a self-reinforcing network.

Keeta integrates DAG with dPoS, where elected delegates validators maintain the network’s integrity. These delegates are chosen by KTA token holders, ensuring decentralized governance. The DAG structure reduces the computational load on validators, as transactions are validated locally by referencing parent nodes, and delegates finalize consensus.

Transactions gain “weight” as more nodes reference them, increasing their confirmation level. This cumulative validation ensures quick finality often within seconds. Keeta’s design minimizes conflicts by using a weighted scoring system to resolve discrepancies, with delegates stepping in for edge cases.

Keeta claims up to 11.2 million transactions per second (TPS), far surpassing traditional blockchains like Ethereum (15 TPS) or even Solana (65,000 TPS). This is due to parallel processing, where multiple transaction paths can be validated concurrently.

Transactions are confirmed almost instantly, as there’s no need to wait for block creation or long consensus rounds. The DAG grows organically as more transactions are added, avoiding bottlenecks common in linear blockchains during high network demand.

Unlike Proof of Work (PoW) systems, Keeta’s DAG + dPoS combo requires minimal computational resources, making it more environmentally friendly. Keeta’s DAG supports built-in KYC/AML tools, embedding identity certificates into transactions for privacy-preserving compliance, which is critical for its focus on real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and cross-border payments.

The DAG’s speed and scalability make Keeta ideal for its “Outbound Base Anchor” integration with Coinbase’s Base Layer-2, enabling seamless transfers of assets like KTA, USDC, EURC, and cbBTC. The high TPS and compliance features support tokenizing real-world assets with fast, auditable transactions.

The low-cost, high-speed structure suits DeFi applications and cross-border remittances, competing with networks like Ripple (XRP). DAGs are harder to implement and secure than traditional blockchains, requiring robust algorithms to prevent attacks (e.g., “parasite chain” attacks where malicious nodes create invalid transaction paths).

The dPoS component relies on elected delegates, which could introduce centralization if token distribution is uneven. While technically impressive, Keeta’s success depends on ecosystem growth and developer adoption, which is still nascent compared to Ethereum or Solana.

Keeta’s edge lies in its ultra-high TPS and compliance focus, tailored for institutional use cases, though it faces competition from established players like Hedera. Keeta’s DAG technology enables it to process transactions at unprecedented speeds while maintaining compliance, positioning it as a strong contender in regulated DeFi, cross-border payments, and RWA markets.

The recent Coinbase listing amplifies its visibility, potentially driving adoption. However, investors should watch for network stability and governance developments, given the insider-heavy token allocation.

Built-in KYC/AML tools, including identity certificates for privacy-preserving verification, making it appealing for institutions. Recent activation of an “Outbound Base Anchor” for seamless transfers with Coinbase’s Base Layer-2 network supporting KTA, USDC, EURC, and cbBTC.

Total supply emphasizes long-term utility, with 50% allocated to insiders though this has raised some governance flags. Mining rewards continue until 2139. The listing validates Keeta’s push into regulated markets like cross-border payments and DeFi, potentially driving wider adoption.

Analysts note strong whale accumulation 76.7M KTA held and smart money inflows +23% since July, but volatility remains high—especially with an unclaimed airdrop affecting ~60% of eligible wallets.

Waiting for the Next Crypto to Explode? BlockDAG’s $430M+ Presale & Binance AMA Could Spark Massive Growth

By

A major shift is coming soon. BlockDAG, which already raised an incredible $430M+ during its presale, is stepping into the spotlight. This Friday’s AMA on Binance Live is more than a simple chat; it’s the project’s official debut before the world’s largest trading audience.

For months, BlockDAG (BDAG) has been known only to those who did deep research. That quiet stage ends now. This event could mark the last moment before the “Binance Effect” spreads awareness worldwide. Many believe this might be the next crypto to explode, the one ready to enter mainstream attention. The clock is ticking on this opportunity, and this AMA may be the final spark before the surge begins.

The Countdown Is Running Out

Time is running short. The final call is set for Friday, 3 PM UTC. This isn’t just a calendar date; it’s the point before BlockDAG reaches millions of Binance users in one global broadcast. The community that supported the project from its early days now stands ready to welcome the world.

This marks a real turning point. The chance to understand this network before it becomes widely known is fading quickly. The AMA could show why BlockDAG is viewed as the next crypto to explode, as it transitions from a growing project into a recognized name across crypto circles.

Insider Secrets Go Public

The upcoming AMA promises to share direct “insider updates” and reveal the full roadmap. After this live event, that information will no longer be limited to early supporters; it will become public knowledge. The private edge will disappear as soon as the live stream ends.

The project’s hybrid design blends Bitcoin-level Proof-of-Work security with the fast performance of a DAG structure. CEO Antony Turner, together with advisor Dr. Maurice Herlihy, will outline this vision to a massive audience. This could make BlockDAG one of the most talked-about names in crypto. The team’s open communication and technical proof make it clear why many see it as the next crypto to explode.

BlockDAG: The $430M Powerhouse Ready for Global Reach

The $430M+ milestone says it all. BlockDAG’s community of more than 312,000 coin holders, 20,000 miners, and 3.5 million X1 users has built a solid foundation. But until now, it’s been a quiet success among dedicated supporters. The Binance Live AMA changes that.

Being featured on the largest exchange platform is more than exposure; it’s an entry into global awareness. Millions of active Binance viewers will see BlockDAG’s features for the first time, and that could be the moment everything changes. This is why many describe BDAG as the next crypto to explode.

BlockDAG’s purpose is clear. Its coin powers a high-performance ecosystem that supports real-world decentralized apps. With 15,000 transactions per second, the network proves it can handle serious demand. The AMA will also spotlight how BDAG’s unique structure combines the safety of Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work with the speed of Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) technology.

Every number shows momentum: over 27 billion coins sold, a community of 312K+ holders, and more than 20K miners already contributing. Its hybrid technology bridges scalability and security, solving challenges that slow down other projects.

As the AMA introduces BlockDAG to a global audience, this could be the exact moment that shifts BDAG from presale strength to worldwide attention. The combination of proven results, real performance, and major exposure could ignite the growth that defines the next crypto to explode.

Why This Case Stands Out

BlockDAG’s foundation is built on practicality and clear progress. It’s more than just a concept; it’s already live on the Awakening Testnet, with full EVM compatibility. Over 4,500 developers are invited to start building within its network. This shows it’s not an empty promise but a functional ecosystem.

Its partnership with the BWT Alpine F1® team also highlights its entry into mainstream visibility. On the pricing side, the current presale rate of $0.0015 contrasts sharply with the planned mainnet launch price of $0.05, showing clear potential growth. Combined with solid technology and timing, many now recognize this as one of the strongest opportunities in crypto right before the spotlight hits.

The Last Call Before Everything Changes

This Friday is the cut-off. The Binance Live AMA is more than a marketing event; it’s the line between early knowledge and worldwide recognition. The $430M+ presale showed the trust and excitement within the early community. Now, as the project reaches Binance’s global audience, its once-private progress becomes a public fact.

The window to join before full exposure closes fast. The next crypto to explode may already be right in front of us, with the match ready to ignite. Those paying attention now could witness the moment when BlockDAG’s journey moves from quiet success to global growth. The opportunity is real, but the clock is running out.
