Japans Most Prominent Security Token Platform Moves $3B To Avalanches Blockchain

Japan's dominant digital asset issuance and management platform Progmat has completed its migration to the Avalanche blockchain.

According to a recent blog post, Progmat moved its entire security token platform — including all active tokenized assets worth over ¥452 billion (about $2.7 billion) — from a private, permissioned ledger based on Corda 5 to a dedicated public Avalanche Layer 1.

"Rather than a straight swap of one ledger for another, Progmat redesigned the underlying architecture so the platform is no longer tied to any specific blockchain, making it easier to facilitate a multi-chain platform as requirements evolve," the blog dated July 10 reads.

Progmat develops security token infrastructure that accounts for 64.6% of Japan’s security token market total issuance value.

Four Bitcoin Mining Pools Control 70% Of The Hashrate

Bitcoin mining is looking less like a wide-open competition and more like a tight club. A CryptoSlate partner article published on 07/08/2026, citing miningpoolstats.stream data as of 06/23/2026, says Foundry Digital, AntPool, ViaBTC, and F2Pool together account for more than 70% of the network’s hashrate. The shift is fueling what the coverage calls a “two-tier market,” with the biggest pools increasingly tuned for institutional clients while independents and mid-size operators get squeezed. Some smaller miners are already quietly reconsidering where they point their machines, especially as ViaBTC faces added regulatory scrutiny in 2026.

Bitcoin mining is often talked about like a wide-open frontier, but mid-2026 looks more like a handful of toll roads. A July 8, 2026 CryptoSlate article (partner content) points to a June 23, 2026 snapshot showing just a few pools taking an outsized role in where blocks get made, and what kind of miners get served best.

Bitcoin mining grows more concentrated as four pools control 70%+ of hashrate, prompting miners to weigh alternatives in 2026.

Solana Witnesses $26M In Assets Bridged Through Other Blockchains

Solana has seen an influx of over $26 million in assets bridged from other blockchains over the past week, according to data from SolanaFloor. This activity highlights ongoing cross-chain capital flows into Solana, even as the current figure is lower than previous peaks like the $760 million recorded in September 2025. The Solana network, noted for its high on-chain activity and decentralized exchange (DEX) volume leadership, continues to draw interest despite the relatively modest inflow. The recent asset movement may indicate sustained interest in Solana’s capabilities, potentially influenced by its competitive transaction speed and cost advantages.

Solana bridged over $26 million in assets from other blockchains this week. Solana reaching $90 by July 2026 at 4.5% YES.

Consensys Blockchain Accidentally Hires North Korean Hacker

Fort Worth-based blockchain firm Consensys, creator of the popular Ethereum-based MetaMask crypto wallet, accidentally hired a software developer linked to North Korea, according to internal messages obtained by Drop Site News.

North Korean nationals have increasingly targeted American software companies, posing as engineers and securing software development roles in order to expropriate trade secrets or infiltrate the software development supply chain. The DPRK-linked engineer, who was hired by Consensys as a consultant, used the alias “Tyler Knapp” and GitHub handle “imyugioh.”

The revelation comes as Republican senators are planning to brief President Donald Trump on new crypto legislation, the Clarity Act, details of which have yet to be released publicly.

An engineer under the alias “Tyler Knapp” managed to be brought on as a software developer at the Ethereum-based firm.

Volvo Group Is Building It's Own Cryptocurrency

Volvo Group just quietly did something most Fortune 500 companies only talk about at conferences. The company built its own cryptocurrency.

Disclosed on July 15 during a Cardano Foundation interview, Volvo’s proprietary token is designed to facilitate payments and shared order ledgers between material suppliers and transport providers in Belgium. Ivan Branco, who oversees information management, AI, and analytics for Volvo’s logistics operations in Belgium, walked through the project’s mechanics and goals.

The token isn’t headed to Coinbase. It’s not launching on Uniswap. It exists inside a closed ecosystem, purpose-built to simplify the tangled web of multi-party transactions that define modern supply chains.

Volvo Group built a proprietary cryptocurrency to test blockchain payments with suppliers in Belgium, shifting from traceability pilots to p

Stripes Acquisition Of PayPal May Accelerate The Movement Of Money Onto The Blockchain

If Stripe and Advent acquired PayPal, it could speed up the shift of capital moving onchain, argues Polygon Labs executive Aishwary Gupta.

William Blair analysts said the acquisition could strengthen Stripe’s stablecoin business, though they argued the benefit would likely be limited given PYUSD’s relatively small supply.

"Within the next few years the majority of money will live and move on blockchain in one form or another," according to Polygon Labs.

Swift Announces 24/7 Blockchain For Tokenized Cross Border Payments

SWIFT, the messaging network that handles most of the world’s cross-border banking settlements, says it is ready to pilot a blockchain-based ledger for 24/7 tokenized payments. The system was first unveiled at Sibos in Frankfurt in September 2025 and reached the minimum viable product stage in just nine months. It also has 18 major banks preparing to test live transactions.

Participating institutions include ANZ (ANZ.AX), BNP Paribas (NASDAQ: BNPQF), BNY (NASDAQ: DMF), Citi (NASDAQ: C), DBS (NASDAQ: DBSDY), First Abu Dhabi Bank, FirstRand, HSBC (NASDAQ: HSBC), Itaú Unibanco (NASDAQ: ITUB), Lloyds (NASDAQ: LYG), Mashreq (MASQ.AE), MUFG (NASDAQ: MUFG), OCBC, Standard Bank (SGBLY), Standard Chartered (NASDAQ: SCBFF), UOB, and Wells Fargo (NASDAQ: WFC). More than 40 financial institutions were involved in the design phase, though the initial pilot group is smaller.

Blockchain and AI May Merge Into One Global Economic System

Jeremy Allaire believes AI agents and blockchain are converging into one economic system.

Traditional companies could become smaller and more modular, as specialized AI agents take over tasks across engineering, marketing, finance, legal, and customer support.

Stablecoins could become the preferred money for machine-to-machine commerce, offering programmable, always-on transfers with rapid settlement.

Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire says AI agents and blockchain are converging into a single economy powered by onchain payments and stablecoins.

New Hampshire Signs Blockchain Basic Laws And Becomes One Of The Crypto Friendliest States

New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte helped make the state into one of the crypto-friendliest in the nation when she signed HB 639 into law last week.

Known as the The Blockchain Basic Laws act, the bill provides protections for cryptocurrency innovation and use in the state while also allowing for the creation of a special blockchain dispute docket in the superior court.

"With Governor Ayotte's signature on HB 639, New Hampshire has once again demonstrated that it intends to lead the nation in blockchain innovation," said New Hampshire Representative Keith Ammon, the bill’s primary sponsor, in a statement.

“The Blockchain Basic Laws protect one of the most fundamental rights in the digital economy—the right of individuals to control their own digital assets through self-custody,” he added. “They also provide clear legal protections for blockchain developers, miners, validators, entrepreneurs, and businesses building the next generation of financial technology.”

New Hampshire's newly-signed crypto law introduces protections for users, miners, and stakers within its boundaries.

UNDP Eager To Scale Blockchain Based Humanitarian Payments

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is to push beyond experimenting with blockchain-based digital payments through a tie-up that aims to make the technology a ‘regular part of programme delivery.’

The agency – the leading UN organisation focused on tackling poverty, inequality and climate change – has signed a new agreement with the Stellar Development Foundation that moves pre-existing joint-work on pilots towards establishing a ‘standing capability’ that UNDP country offices are able to use on an ongoing basis. Using blockchain has cut aid payment costs and boosted payment resilience, it states.

Over the past 16 months the two organisations have been researching digital payments’ use in 17 countries, implementing live pilots in Haiti, Syria, Kenya, Guatemala and The Gambia; as well as undertaking ‘working prototype’ development in Colombia and Papua New Guinea. The new agreement ‘shifts the focus from testing the technology in specific contexts to putting in place the institutional conditions under which it can be used at scale’, the UNDP states this week (6 July).

“We have shown that digital payments can reach the people that conventional systems miss, and in some of the hardest places to operate,” said Robert Pasicko, team leader at the UNDP Alternative Finance Lab (AltFinLab). “The work now is to make that capability ordinary, so that a country office can use it with confidence as part of how it already works, rather than treating each deployment as an experiment.”

Bitcoins Biggest Threat May Be Adoption That Doesn't Benefit Public Blockchains And Tokens

Strategy's recent bitcoin sales and its formal BTC monetization program may be viewed by investors as a key risk to the crypto market, but that isn't the main risk for bitcoin, according to JPMorgan analysts.

Instead, the bigger threat comes from blockchain adoption that does not benefit public blockchains and their tokens, the analysts led by managing director Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou said in a report. If tokenization, payments, and settlement increasingly happen outside public crypto networks, the broader crypto ecosystem could face a "structural de-rating," see slower activity, lower liquidity, and weaker capital flows, eventually weighing on bitcoin.

"We do not see Strategy as the main structural threat to bitcoin," the analysts said. "In our view, the more important risk to bitcoin stems from the broader crypto ecosystem and from blockchain adoption within traditional finance continuing to develop in ways that bypass public permissionless networks."

JPMorgan says Strategy isn't bitcoin's main structural risk, but blockchain adoption that fails to benefit public blockchains and tokens.
