EU TOKENIZATION COMPANIES PUSH FOR DLT PILOT

A coalition of European tokenization companies has urged EU policymakers to swiftly amend the bloc's DLT Pilot Regime, warning that current asset limits, volume caps, and six-year license restrictions are preventing regulated onchain markets from scaling while the United States advances toward industrial-scale tokenization and near-instant settlement. The companies proposed a narrow technical fix that would expand eligible assets, raise issuance caps, and remove pilot license time limits while maintaining investor protections, cautioning that the EU's broader Market Integration and Supervision Package won't take effect until at least 2030. The urgent call contrasts sharply with recent US regulatory momentum.

PAYY: PRIVATE-BY-DEFAULT EVM L2

Payy Network is Ethereum's first privacy-enabled EVM L2, where ERC-20 transfers are private by default without requiring smart contract modifications or specialized wallets. The architecture uses a chain-native privacy pool for direct transfers and offchain "Privacy Vaults" that allow developers to configure privacy levels via RPC parameters, creating a spectrum from fully private to fully compliant/public. The network targets both crypto natives seeking frictionless private transfers and TradFi institutions wanting to bring flows onchain without front-running or MEV risks.

THE AGENTIC ECOSYSTEM ON BASE

Base is emerging as the dominant blockchain for AI agent activity due to transaction costs low enough to support micropayments via x402 and purpose-built infrastructure. The ecosystem has processed over 9M x402 transactions with $1M+ volume in 30 days, ~1.6M OpenClaw agents registered, and $100M+ volume on platforms like Bankr and Clanker. This represents one of the first demonstrable product-market fits for L2s beyond DeFi.

PEOPLE ARE GETTING PAID IN STABLECOINS. IT'S TIME TO LET THEM PAY

Stablecoin payroll is scaling fast. Companies and payroll platforms are depositing real wages into wallets (embedded or self-custodial), creating recurring on-chain distribution that will only matter if people can actually spend those balances at checkout. WalletConnect Pay is presented as the missing acceptance layer. It's a PSP-grade integration that lets merchants and wallets use stablecoins like any other payment method so payroll-driven stablecoin volume can convert into everyday retail payments.
