A number on this site is either something a source published or nothing at all. Where a series has gaps we leave them as gaps: no interpolation, no carry-forward, no zero standing in for an unknown.
Aggregates are compiled per asset class from the sources named on each figure. Classes without a verified aggregate are listed but not sized.

Longer pieces, written from the data on this site and citing it.
Receiving $200 in Sub-Saharan Africa cost 8.46% in the third quarter of 2025; the tokens undercutting that price are almost entirely dollar-denominated, and the flows are unmeasured.
Legal designation and a cash leg that was already someone's liability separate the wholesale settlement systems now carrying volume from the multi-jurisdiction platforms that handed themselves over or stayed prototypes.
Circle's euro token held €381.8m in June 2026 against $72.6bn of its dollar token, and MiCA's ban on paying interest sent what euro demand exists onchain into money market funds instead.
Secured crypto lending, US home-equity loans and AAA CLO tranches account for most of the $6.99bn; bilateral loans to mid-sized companies, the FSB's definition of private credit, barely appear.
Cryptoeconomics is edited by Olaoluwa Samuel-Biyi, co-founder of Busha, a leading African digital-asset exchange.
Hearings, conference sessions and interviews from the library, newest first, each playable on this page.
Hearing
Noticed with two discussion drafts rather than introduced bills, the Modernizing Markets Through Tokenization Act and the Capital Markets Technology Modernization Act, which is the stage at which drafting choices are still movable. SIFMA, DTCC and Nasdaq take the settlement and market-structure side, Plume Network the onchain side, and the questioning returns repeatedly to whether existing transfer-agent and custody rules can carry a token without amendment.

Conference session
Waller opened and closed a day the Board built almost entirely out of practitioners rather than staff economists, so the panels are unusually concrete about what breaks in production. The stablecoin session is the one to watch for the payments case made by firms actually settling on it, and the closing panel covers tokenised funds and collateral with BlackRock, Franklin Templeton and JPMorgan's Kinexys. Per-panel transcripts sit on the Board's media server but are not linked from the conference page, so we link one here.

Roundtable
The first time the two agencies sat in one room to work through which of them regulates what. The value is in panel one, where J. Christopher Giancarlo walks back through how the split arose, and in panel two, where Polymarket and Kalshi appear alongside CME, Cboe and ICE and the event-contract boundary gets argued directly rather than in comment letters. This file covers opening remarks and panel one; the later panels were published separately. The two agencies' own pages disagree on when the session ended, so we have not printed a finish time.

Podcast
Two BIS economists take the definitional question slowly, which is the reason to start here rather than with a paper: what a token has to carry before it is anything more than a database row. The episode has no page of its own on the BIS site, so the date here comes from podcast directories rather than from the BIS.

A dated, sourced entry for each development that changed the market structure.
Tethered to Terrorism, from ranking member Richard Blumenthal and the minority staff, analyses wallets designated by OFAC and Israel's counter-terror financing bureau from 2021 to 2026, faults Tether's freezes as late, and goes to the Attorney General and the Treasury Secretary with questions due by 9 October. Tether replied that about $550m of Iran-linked USDT was frozen in 2026.
The Commission order permits Coinbase Clearing to clear fully collateralized futures, options on futures and swaps as defined in Regulation 39.2, completing Coinbase's exchange, broker and clearing registrations. Coinbase says the clearing house will take USDC as collateral and settle around the clock; the order and the filed rulebook do not name USDC.
Eligible clients pledge the shares through ByCustody and receive USDT or USDC trading credit lines on Bybit while the shares stay in custody and keep earning yield. The release names no fund, amount or haircut; the $686m in reports is the whole Franklin OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund at 31 August.
tZERO Securities handles trades in the Institutional class of the $105.27bn Financial Square Treasury Instruments Fund for firms on Lynq, which runs on a private Avalanche chain. It is the first outside fund on the network. The fund's Token Shares class held $10,424.54 at 31 August.
The bill bars state and local public officers, and employees with authority over bids and contracts, from issuing a memecoin, and bars digital asset service providers from listing for Californians a memecoin issued from 1 January 2027 that is offered by or with any public official. Enforcement is civil. It passed the Senate 40 to 0 and the Assembly 78 to 0.
In KalshiEX LLC v. Schuler and v. Orgel, Nos. 26-3196/5235, a Sixth Circuit panel affirmed the denial of Kalshi's injunction against Ohio and vacated the one it held against Tennessee. Gibbons wrote, joined by Clay and Bloomekatz. Sports results lack a financial consequence under the swap definition, and the Act does not preempt state law in any case. Two circuits now side with the states, one with Kalshi.
