zBNB has become the most actively traded asset in the zERC20io suite, with more than $1.5M in zBNB volume processed on BNB Chain. The privacy token is built on BNB Chain and uses zero-knowledge proofs to enable anonymous transfers. The figures suggest users are increasingly choosing privacy features on BNB Chain, reinforcing zBNB’s synergy with BNB and BNB’s role as a privacy-focused settlement layer.

Hertzflow is a self-custodied leveraged trading protocol built on BNB Chain that aims to address two issues in on-chain derivatives: permissioned listing barriers and custody risk. Its core design includes permissionless creation of trading pairs, provided an asset has reliable Oracle support. The article says testnet activity has validated the architecture’s stability and that the project is steadily moving toward a mainnet launch. It adds that a mainnet debut is seen as a signal for a BNB Chain ecosystem flywheel, potentially improving on-chain TVL utilization, attracting liquidity providers and high-frequency traders, and increasing demand for BNB as the settlement and gas token.

Meteora AG has introduced a $ANSEM token liquidity pool on Solana built on its Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker (DLMM) mechanism. The article says some users are spending about 20 minutes a day managing positions and earning thousands of dollars in daily returns by providing liquidity. The setup has drawn community attention to $ANSEM as a short-term high-yield opportunity. It also reflects an ecosystem expansion at the DeFi protocol level on Solana, tying directly to $ANSEM liquidity supply and incentives while showcasing DLMM-style AMM tooling in practice.

TrueCurrent, a decentralized derivatives platform, said it has launched a mobile app that integrates markets spanning cryptocurrencies such as Solana and Bitcoin, commodities including gold and oil, and U.S. equities including AI and tech shares. The platform says it runs fully on-chain with self-custody, requires no KYC, and keeps users in control of their private keys. It uses USDC as the unified margin and pricing unit across assets, and says it covers both trading fees and gas costs. The project says on-chain trading activity now may be used as the basis for future airdrop allocations for early users who connect wallets and trade at zero cost.

An onchain slots protocol said it has integrated native Solana deposit and withdrawal functionality, allowing users to deposit and withdraw directly in SOL without using a cross-chain bridge or wrapped tokens. The upgrade applies to its fully onchain Slots game module. The protocol said the change lowers the barrier to participation and transaction costs while improving fund transfer efficiency and the onchain interaction experience. It also positions SOL more directly as a payment asset in DeFi-plus-gaming use cases within the Solana ecosystem.

MetaMask said it will pay the gas fee for token swap transactions on the Solana network when the single swap amount exceeds $200. The move reflects an integration upgrade for the Solana ecosystem and marks MetaMask’s expansion from an Ethereum-first wallet toward a multichain infrastructure platform. The feature is expected to lower execution costs and barriers for users swapping in Solana DeFi, potentially increasing on-chain swap activity, TVL inflows and protocol usage depth. The change does not involve any SOL issuance, burning, or monetary policy adjustments.

PST’s market capitalization has surpassed $200M, placing it among the top three yield-bearing assets on Solana. It also ranks in the top three yield-bearing assets by 30-day net growth. The project highlighted the milestone, saying PayFi yield is leading Internet Capital Markets.

Gate’s decentralized exchange said it has integrated Robinhood Chain, enabling cross-chain asset swaps across Ethereum, BSC and Base.

Flare Network has launched two incentivized XRP-related liquidity pools on Base and BNB Chain: cbXRP-FXRP on Base and XRP-FXRP on BNB Chain. The rollout brings XRP into mainstream DeFi, allowing users to earn incentives by providing liquidity. Flare, an L1 positioned around enabling XRP, is pushing XRP’s shift from a payments asset toward a programmable DeFi asset. The development does not involve XRP token issuance, regulatory changes, or exchange listings, but expands XRP’s access points for decentralized finance use cases.
