Ondo’s USDY Switches to Continuous Pricing, Accruing Yield by the Second
Ondo Finance has switched its tokenized US Treasury product USDY to continuous pricing: the token’s price now updates in real time instead of once a day, letting holders earn intraday yield over weekends and holidays, with returns accruing for even a few hours of holding. Previously the product reflected yield through a daily price ladder; continuous pricing removes the gap between daily resets, tracking accrued interest more tightly.
- Real-time pricing is live simultaneously on Ethereum, BNB Chain, Mantle and Tempo, with the same short-dated Treasuries plus bank demand deposit accounts backing the tokenized note
- Lending protocols, exchanges and wallets must migrate to the new USDY Oracle Wrapper; the legacy oracle stays live until end-2026 for transition
- Combined with instant minting and redemption, eligible non-US holders can enter or exit USDY 24/7 at the live price; the product remains a top tokenized Treasury with roughly $2.32B market cap
Product Shift
Yield tokens move from daily snapshots to real-time pricing, aligning precision with institutional market-making
Onchain Ripple
USDY keeps accruing while used as collateral, enabling more granular DeFi yield strategies
Migration Pace
The Oracle Wrapper window runs to year-end; integrated platforms must switch within it

Hong Kong’s EnsembleTX Moves to 24/7 Central Bank Money Settlement as Standard Chartered Launches Tokenized Deposits
During Hong Kong Fintech Week, the HKMA announced that the EnsembleTX pilot stage has entered a new phase: interbank tokenized deposit settlement now runs 24/7 on tokenized central bank money (CeBM), with participating banks rising to 12 and industry pioneers to 20. The same day, Standard Chartered launched its first corporate-facing tokenized deposit offering in Hong Kong, targeting corporate treasuries, banks, investment platforms and digital asset firms, with plans to expand to other markets.
- Transfers sent at midnight or over the weekend become final interbank settlement the moment they occur, removing overnight credit exposure from after-hours transfers
- China AMC (Hong Kong), Finloop and PantherTrade have completed real tokenized deposit trades and tokenized money market fund settlements on EnsembleTX
- HashKey is among the first institutional clients of the Standard Chartered offering, with Fireblocks joining the distribution ecosystem; settlement runs tokenized assets ↔ tokenized deposits ↔ HKD RTGS
Architecture
A reusable asset-layer / tokenized-deposit / central-bank-money settlement stack is live; gold was only the first closed loop
Market Signal
Bank tokenized deposits move from pilot to enterprise rollout, a dual-track complement to stablecoins
Scope
The same clearing logic extends to tokenized MMFs, bonds, carbon credits and LME warrants
Taiwan Regulator Unveils Stablecoin Draft: Tech Firms Must Joint-Venture With Banks and Stay Minority
Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) previewed its draft Regulations for Stablecoin Issuance Licensing and Management on November 3: initial eligibility is limited to banks and companies invested by financial holding companies or banks, so tech firms cannot issue stablecoins on their own. Under a joint-venture model, financial institutions must hold more than 51% with a single financial holding or bank owning at least 25%; non-bank issuers need minimum paid-in capital of NT$300 million, must go public and focus solely on issuance and redemption.
- Issuable stablecoins are limited to 1:1 pegs to the New Taiwan dollar or a single foreign currency (excluding RMB, HKD and MOP), with issuers required to keep reserve assets at fair value no lower than outstanding balances
- The draft designates stablecoin issuers as AML-regulated financial institutions under two amended money laundering rules, with a 40-day public comment window
- The enabling Virtual Asset Service Act was gazetted on July 22; nine sub-regulations will take effect together, with applications opening as early as Q1 next year
Regulatory Stance
Mirroring the pure digital-bank model, issuance tilts toward banks rather than tech platforms
Regional Read
Aligned with Hong Kong and Singapore rules, Asian stablecoin regimes converge on bank-centric licensing
Industry Effect
Tech entrants need bank partners, reshaping the issuer landscape for local stablecoins
Crypto Stocks Brace for US Midterms as the Future of the Regulatory Dividend Hangs on Congress
US midterm voting began November 3, with all 435 House seats and roughly one-third of the Senate up for election. Investors are already positioning for tighter regulation if Democrats win: the cost of protecting Coinbase against a 10% drop over the next month is near its highest since April, with Strategy at a June peak, and both the Global X Blockchain ETF and Amplify Blockchain Technology ETF saw outflows last month. Crypto stocks took a beating in October, with Coinbase down 23% and Galaxy Digital down 30%, both their worst monthly showing since 2022.
- If Democrats sweep both chambers, Elizabeth Warren could chair the Senate Banking Committee, seen as the worst election outcome for crypto, though she cannot stop regulators from keeping friendly policies
- After CLARITY stalled 49-50 on September 15, markets broadly expect it off the agenda until 2027; the GENIUS stablecoin framework is already law and the OCC rule effective January 18, 2027 is election-proof
- Crypto stocks rebounded on voting day, with Coinbase up 6% and Galaxy Digital up 13%; a Democratic wave in the House could trigger a negative immediate reaction on Wednesday
Policy Fork
Chamber control decides the pace of SEC/CFTC rulemaking and CLARITY’s fate over the next two years
Market Pricing
Option protection costs and ETF flows already embed a Democratic-tightening scenario
Structural Hedge
If rules tighten, licensed exchanges like Cboe and CME gain relative to newer, less regulated venues
