Curve Finance Goes Live on Stellar in First Move Beyond EVM

<p class="text-left mb-4 ">Decentralized finance protocol <a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/coin/crv" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Curve Finance</a> has launched on Stellar mainnet, marking its first native deployment outside the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) ecosystem. The integration allows users to create liquidity pools, access existing pools, swap assets, and provide liquidity on Stellar.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">According to an announcement shared by Curve Finance and the Stellar Development Foundation on October 29, the initial launch brings StableSwap to the network. Curve also plans to deploy FXSwap, which supports various asset pairs, including stablecoins pegged to different currencies, once its audit is complete.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 "> <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/ekran-g-r-nt-s-2026-10-29-152625-13cd0a62.webp" alt="Ekran görüntüsü 2026-10-29 152625.png" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> </p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Curve Brings StableSwap to Stellar’s Liquidity Markets</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">StableSwap is designed for trading assets whose prices move closely together. These include stablecoins pegged to the same currency, wrapped Bitcoin tokens, and synthetic versions of crypto assets.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The Stellar deployment allows users to create pools without permission. Users can also find existing pools, swap supported assets, and add liquidity, making Curve’s trading infrastructure available to teams building applications and issuing assets on Stellar.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">A key feature of the integration is Curve’s native expansion beyond EVM networks. The protocol’s founder, Michael Egorov, said institutional demand helped drive the move.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">According to Egorov, Curve began exploring deployment options on non-EVM networks where sufficient demand existed. Stellar’s relative familiarity compared with many other non-EVM chains, alongside interest from institutions, played a role in the decision.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">His comments also explain the rationale behind the integration. Curve is expanding its network reach while responding to demand from institutions looking to transact on Stellar. However, the announcement did not name institutional users or provide a target for expected trading volume.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">New Infrastructure for Lending Apps and Tokenized Assets</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Curve pools could also support lending applications and other financial services on Stellar. These applications could use the pools to sell collateral during liquidations or help users exit positions.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">However, Curve noted that these use cases depend on certain conditions. Liquidity in the pools needs to grow, and applications need to integrate them. The mainnet launch therefore does not mean all these services are already operational.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Asset issuers could also use Curve pools to build markets for supported tokens on Stellar. The network hosts stablecoins and tokenized assets, including Franklin Templeton’s tokenized money market fund. MoneyGram also uses Stellar’s infrastructure for money transfers.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Denelle Dixon, CEO and executive director of the Stellar Development Foundation, emphasized the importance of moving between assets. According to Dixon, the ability to transact efficiently between stablecoins and tokenized assets plays a central role in making them useful.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Curve’s arrival gives developers additional infrastructure to build these markets. The extent to which existing assets gain traction in the new pools will depend on available liquidity and developer integrations.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">FXSwap Awaits Audit Completion</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Curve’s plans for Stellar extend beyond StableSwap. The protocol also aims to bring FXSwap to the network once its audit is complete. However, the team has not provided an estimated timeline.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The two products target different types of asset pairs. StableSwap focuses on assets whose prices remain close to one another, while FXSwap supports trading between assets whose prices fluctuate relative to each other.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">This includes pairs of stablecoins pegged to different currencies. According to Curve, FXSwap also supports use cases involving volatile crypto pairs and lower-volatility foreign exchange and real-world asset pairs.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Launched in 2020, Curve has expanded its offering over time to include lending products and its crvUSD stablecoin alongside its trading services. The Stellar launch adds another network to that expansion, while FXSwap’s deployment remains dependent on the completion of its audit.</p>

Bitcoin Gives Back Post-Fed Gains, Hovers Near $80,000

<p class="text-left mb-4 ">Bitcoin failed to hold its gains following the Fed’s decision and Chair Kevin Warsh’s remarks. After trading above $81,000 on the evening of October 28, the price fell below $80,000 on the morning of October 29. A subsequent recovery pushed it back above that level.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The Fed’s decision to leave its policy rate unchanged at 3.75%–4%, alongside Warsh’s message that officials would wait for more data, initially offered modest support to markets. However, Bitcoin gave back its earlier gains as selling intensified in the morning.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Bitcoin slipped below $80,000 in morning trading</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 "><a href="https://jrkripto.com/en/coin/btc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Bitcoin</a> rose to approximately $81,100 during Warsh’s press conference. Meanwhile, the U.S. two-year Treasury yield declined from 4.78% to 4.73%. Bitcoin continued trading above $81,300 after the U.S. session.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">However, the price turned lower in the early hours of October 29. Morning data showed Bitcoin’s 24-hour trading range stretching from $79,636 to $81,698. The gap between the period’s highest and lowest prices therefore exceeded $2,000.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 "> <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/btcusdt-2026-10-29-12-34-56-af6c5837.webp" alt="BTCUSDT_2026-10-29_12-34-56.png" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> </p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">At approximately noon Turkish time, Bitcoin was trading at $80,152. Its 24-hour decline reached 1.54%. Although the price reclaimed the $80,000 threshold, it remained below the previous evening’s levels.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The chart also showed that the recovery following the sharp decline remained limited. Bitcoin approached $80,500 later in the morning before encountering renewed selling pressure. Trading subsequently concentrated around $80,000.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Fed holds rates steady as two officials favor a hike</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The Federal Open Market Committee approved the rate decision in a 10–2 vote. Fed Governor Lisa Cook and Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack favored a 25-basis-point increase.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The policy statement emphasized that economic activity was expanding at a strong pace while inflation remained elevated. The committee said additional information would help it determine the appropriate policy stance to return inflation to its 2% target. The October meeting therefore ended with a pause following September’s rate increase.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Warsh highlights changes in financial conditions</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Warsh said financing conditions had tightened for some businesses and households since the September decision. He added that market participants had become more selective in allocating capital. However, he stopped short of describing overall financial conditions as “tight.”</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The Fed chair offered a positive assessment of employment conditions. However, he stressed the importance of preventing rising energy prices from spreading to other parts of the economy. He said inflation expectations needed to remain anchored and reiterated officials’ readiness to act when necessary.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">During the question-and-answer session, Warsh said the Fed’s policies were beginning to produce results. Still, he cautioned that officials had not yet reached firm conclusions. He said the data-rich period ahead would provide greater clarity for monetary policy.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">December rate expectations remain in focus for crypto</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The decision to hold rates steady did not signal a shift toward expectations of a rate cut. Immediately after the announcement, CME FedWatch data put the probability of a 25-basis-point increase in December at approximately 86%. That compared with around 78% a day earlier.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">For the crypto market, the picture points to a modest price recovery alongside expectations of persistently high interest rates. Warsh’s wait-for-data approach provided short-term relief. Meanwhile, rising oil prices and continued inflation pressures remained among the factors limiting investors’ appetite for risk.</p>

Bithumb and Two Financial Firms Hit by Cyberattacks as Investigations Begin

<p class="text-left mb-4 ">Financial authorities have launched an on-site investigation following a data breach at South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb. The exchange shared findings indicating that employee information had been exposed and is continuing to investigate whether customer data was also affected.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">According to an October 28 statement from South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC), the incident also involves employees of Bithumb’s subsidiaries and business partners. No leak of information that could be used in asset transfers, such as cryptocurrency wallet addresses, has yet been confirmed.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Bithumb Detects Breach in Employee System</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Bithumb identified unauthorized external access to its internal mobile work system on October 27. Employees use the system to communicate, share files and carry out daily tasks.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The exchange reported the incident to the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) and the Personal Information Protection Commission on the day it discovered the breach. It then began reviewing the affected records.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">According to local publication Digital Today, initial findings primarily pointed to employee information. Bithumb notified its employees about the incident while leaving open the possibility that customer records were also included in the leak.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The attackers’ identities, their method of entry and the number of people affected remain unclear. The exchange is continuing to analyze the types and scope of the exposed information.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Investigation Into Customer Data Continues</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Bithumb said the compromised internal system operates separately from its cryptocurrency trading infrastructure. According to the exchange, attackers cannot access customers’ crypto assets through this system.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">No cryptocurrency losses have been reported. However, the exchange has not provided details on whether the incident affected deposit and withdrawal services.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The status of customer information remains under separate review. Investigators are examining whether internal employee messages or shared work files may have contained customer details.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Reports indicate that Bithumb is specifically reviewing files employees sent through the messaging system. The separation of its trading infrastructure therefore does not establish that customer data was unaffected.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Financial Authorities Hold Emergency Meeting</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The FSC held an emergency meeting on October 28 with <a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/exchanges/bithumb" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Bithumb</a>, the Financial Supervisory Service, the Financial Security Institute and the Digital Asset eXchange Alliance (DAXA). During the meeting, Bithumb briefed authorities on findings related to information leaks involving employees of the exchange, its subsidiaries and business partners.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The commission said the relevant agencies had begun on-site inspections. Investigators are focusing on the cause and scope of the attack, along with its potential impact on customers.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The FSC also said it would oversee consumer protection measures, including full compensation if losses occur. This statement does not mean that customer losses have been established or that Bithumb has launched a compensation program.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Other South Korean Financial Firms Report Attacks</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The Bithumb incident comes amid a series of security breaches across South Korea’s financial sector. According to Reuters, citing Yonhap, Daishin Securities and Mirae Asset Global Investments were also among the companies reporting attacks.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Daishin Securities said personal and credit information belonging to 38,490 customers had been leaked. That figure refers to Daishin customers; Bithumb has not yet disclosed how many people were affected by its own breach.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Mirae Asset Global Investments said it had blocked abnormal access to some of its web systems. The company stated that investor information was unaffected.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The companies’ statements describe different systems and impacts. Publicly available information does not confirm that the same attackers were responsible for these incidents.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Earlier this month, South Korean authorities said cyberattacks had affected 16 financial institutions, including banks. The next key development in the Bithumb investigation will be determining whether customer records were among the exposed data and establishing the number of people affected.</p>

Bitcoin Ahead of the Fed Decision: What Does the Crypto Market Expect?

<p class="text-left mb-4 ">Bitcoin traded around $81,000 ahead of the Fed decision, while major altcoins also recovered. Crypto investors turned their attention to how the US central bank’s messaging could shape risk appetite for the rest of the year.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">In morning trading, <a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/coin/btc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Bitcoin</a> rose approximately 2% to just below $82,000. At the time of writing, it is trading around $81,424.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 "> <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/btcusdt-2026-10-28-14-36-54-e71cfbaa.webp" alt="BTCUSDT_2026-10-28_14-36-54.png" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> </p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Ethereum gained around 2% to move above $2,350, while Solana posted a similar increase to reach approximately $102.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Altcoins Recover Ahead of the Fed Decision</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">XRP and Dogecoin gained approximately 3%. Zcash climbed 8% to around $1,320, while Hyperliquid’s HYPE token rose roughly 5% to trade near $81.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">BNB gained around 1%, while TRX advanced less than 1%. The rebound, following Bitcoin’s weekend decline to approximately $79,000, showed buying spreading across crypto assets ahead of the decision.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Following the Fed announcement, investors will watch whether Bitcoin holds its gains and whether Ethereum and other major altcoins sustain their momentum.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Interest Rates Expected to Remain Unchanged</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The Fed decision will be announced today at 9:00 p.m. Turkish time, followed by Chair Kevin Warsh’s press conference at 9:30 p.m. According to the official schedule, this meeting will not include new economic forecasts or interest rate projections.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The central bank raised its policy rate by 25 basis points to a range of 3.75%–4.00% in September. The prevailing expectation for October is that rates will remain at this level.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">CME FedWatch data priced in a 93.9% probability of rates remaining unchanged.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">For crypto assets, one key consideration will be how long the current rate stays in place. Elevated borrowing costs can affect leverage and the capital investors allocate to risk assets, making the prospect of further tightening a closely watched issue.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Liquidations Draw Attention in Leveraged Trading</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Meanwhile, market data showed approximately $175 million in crypto positions liquidated over the past 24 hours. Short positions accounted for most liquidations, while open interest in Bitcoin futures increased by 0.65%.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 "> <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/ekran-g-r-nt-s-2026-10-28-143819-fa6b1196.webp" alt="Ekran görüntüsü 2026-10-28 143819.png" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> </p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The closure of positions betting on falling prices can create additional buying pressure during a rally. Assessing the strength of a price increase therefore requires looking at both spot demand and moves driven by the unwinding of leveraged positions.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Coinbase Institutional also highlighted Bitcoin’s sensitivity to interest rate expectations in its October 16 assessment. The firm noted that Treasury yields rose following strong inflation data, while Bitcoin fell from approximately $83,800 to below $82,000.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Which Signals Will Matter After the Decision?</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Following the Fed decision, the initial focus will be on how much room the policy statement leaves for further rate increases. Crypto markets could face selling pressure if Warsh describes inflation pressures as persistent and reinforces the prospect of additional tightening.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">A more cautious approach that emphasizes monitoring incoming data could soften investors’ rate expectations. These are potential scenarios that depend on the tone of the announcement; leaving rates unchanged alone does not guarantee a Bitcoin rally.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Whether Ethereum and Solana follow Bitcoin’s moves around $81,000 will indicate how broadly the market is responding. Changes in trading volume and open interest will also help investors assess whether new positions or the closure of existing trades are driving the move.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The statement released at 9:00 p.m. and the press conference half an hour later could trigger different price reactions. Investors will therefore watch whether the market’s initial direction holds as Warsh answers questions.</p>

Moody’s Gives Ripple’s Stablecoin Long- and Short-Term Ratings

<p class="text-left mb-4 ">Moody’s Ratings assigned Ripple’s U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin <a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/coin/rlusd" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">RLUSD</a> an A2 long-term deposit rating and a P-1 short-term deposit rating. The investment-grade ratings reflect the credit quality, market value and liquidity of the stablecoin’s reserves, alongside its redemption arrangements.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The decision came in the same week that Ripple received final regulatory approval to establish a national trust bank in the United States. As the company expands RLUSD’s use in institutional payments and collateral transactions, it is also preparing to develop its reserve management and custody services under federal supervision.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Targeting 103% Reserve Coverage</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">According to Moody’s assessment, RLUSD’s reserves primarily consist of highly liquid, short-duration U.S. government assets and cash. The agency examined the quality of those assets, the extent to which they cover outstanding stablecoins and the mechanisms that allow users to redeem their tokens for dollars.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">RLUSD’s issuer, Standard Custody & Trust Company, targets a reserve coverage ratio of 103%. This means holding $103 in reserves for every $100 of RLUSD in circulation; according to Moody’s, the target exceeds the minimum coverage level associated with the rating.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The majority of the reserves consist of U.S. Treasury bills, other short-term U.S. government assets and cash. These assets are held with the Bank of New York Mellon (BNY), which Moody’s rates Aa1.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The assessment also considered the segregation of reserves and their custody with third parties. Moody’s examined operational and technological risks, the legal structure, the regulatory framework and other factors that could affect the stablecoin’s operations.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The A2 long-term rating falls within the investment-grade category, while P-1 represents the highest level on Moody’s short-term rating scale. The two ratings assess RLUSD-related obligations across different time horizons.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Ripple Says RLUSD Is the First Stablecoin to Receive the Rating</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Jack McDonald, Ripple’s senior vice president of stablecoins, said RLUSD was the first stablecoin to receive an investment-grade rating from Moody’s. McDonald described the decision as a significant validation of the project.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The ratings were assigned under Moody’s stablecoin methodology, published in March 2026. Under this framework, both the current condition of reserves and changes that could affect redemption capacity are relevant to the future direction of the ratings.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Moody’s said deterioration in the credit quality or market value of reserve assets could lead to a downgrade. A decline in reserve coverage, weaker liquidity or reduced redemption capacity were also listed as factors that could put downward pressure on the ratings.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The agency also highlighted protections envisioned under the GENIUS Act. According to Moody’s assessment, the legislation, expected to take effect in January 2027, will strengthen protections for stablecoin holders and reserve assets, including provisions shielding required reserves from an issuer’s bankruptcy estate.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">OCC Approval Expands Federal Oversight</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Ripple announced on October 26 that it had received final approval from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to establish Ripple National Trust Bank. The bank’s authorized activities include managing the segregated reserves backing RLUSD, acting as collateral trustee for those reserves on behalf of token holders and providing digital asset custody services.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">RLUSD will continue to be issued by Standard Custody & Trust Company, which is regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services. Federal OCC supervision of reserve management and custody activities will therefore complement the stablecoin’s existing state-level regulatory framework.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Launched in December 2024, RLUSD has reached a market capitalization of $2.5 billion, according to Ripple. The stablecoin is used within the company’s payments infrastructure and as collateral in Ripple Prime; Ripple also publishes monthly independent third-party attestations covering its circulating supply and reserve assets.</p>
