  • BASIS.pro Expands On-Chain Infrastructure with XDC Network Partnership and Zypher DAO as Auto Earn Goes Live

    London, United Kingdom, September 16th, 2026, Chainwire

    New developments extend BASIS across real-world asset and AI-native infrastructure while introducing automated reward restaking for BTC, ETH, SOL, and PAXG participants

    BASIS, the institutional-grade crypto yield and staking platform built on market-neutral execution infrastructure, is continuing to expand its institutional footprint with three new developments: an ecosystem partnership with XDC Network, a collaboration with Zypher DAO, and em-dash (Auto Earn an automated) reward restaking feature now live for BTC, ETH, SOL, and PAXG participants.

    Yield Infrastructure Meets Real-World Financial Infrastructure

    BASIS and XDC Network have announced a new partnership exploring opportunities at the intersection of crypto yield, real-world assets (RWAs), and the broader on-chain economy. XDC Network is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain powering payments, trade finance, and real-world asset solutions.

    By combining BASIS’s market-neutral yield and staking infrastructure with XDC Network’s high-throughput, enterprise-oriented blockchain, the two teams are exploring how disciplined yield execution can connect with real-world financial infrastructure from tokenized assets to trade-finance ecosystems.

    Verifiable AI Meets Market-Neutral Yield

    BASIS has also entered into a collaboration with Zypher DAO (Zypher Network), an AI and Zero-Knowledge (ZK) powered Web4 ecosystem building AI-native blockchain infrastructure and intelligent digital economies.

    The collaboration brings together Zypher’s verifiable AI and ZK capabilities with BASIS’s market-neutral yield infrastructure, with both teams exploring new possibilities across intelligent finance, verifiable execution, and on-chain asset management.

    Auto Earn Automates Reward Restaking

    Separately, BASIS has launched Auto Earn, an automated process that restakes eligible unclaimed staking rewards into a user’s existing position every Monday at 00:00 UTC.

    Auto Earn touches accrued-but-unclaimed rewards only. It does not create a new position, add a new lock-up, reset the lock-up timer, or change the original maturity date or booster schedule. The feature is enabled by default, and users can turn it off or back on at any time in account settings. Full documentation is available at docs.basis.pro/economics-and-rewards/auto-earn.

    About BASIS

    BASIS is an institutional-grade crypto yield and staking platform for BTC, ETH, SOL, and PAXG, where participants can earn rewards by staking their assets on basis.pro with rates following the platform’s live Dynamic Reward Rate (DRR), which varies with market conditions and is not fixed or guaranteed. The platform executes market-neutral strategies designed to reduce directional exposure, with capital-preservation controls including risk constraints and circuit breakers embedded across its execution and operating framework. BASIS is operated by BASIS DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE LTD, a Seychelles-registered IBC (LEI: 254900IX2F2KCWNSSS64), under ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018 certified management systems, with execution research, systems modeling, and risk design contributed by Base58 Labs, a London-based independent research and engineering institution.

  • i-payout Expands U.S. Money Transmitter Licensing Footprint and Advances European EMI Strategy

    Fort Lauderdale, Florida, September 15th, 2026, FinanceWire

    Expanded regulatory infrastructure is designed to give marketplaces, gig economy platforms, gaming and esports companies, insurance providers, affiliate networks, clinical research organizations and other enterprises greater access to flexible domestic and global payout capabilities

    International Payout Systems, Inc. (“i-payout”), a global provider of payment and payout technology, today announced the continued expansion of its U.S. money transmitter licensing footprint while advancing its strategy to obtain a European Electronic Money Institution (“EMI”) license.

    The initiative reflects i-payout’s long-term commitment to building a more direct, efficient, and scalable global payments infrastructure. By expanding its regulatory capabilities, i-payout aims to increase control over payment flows, reduce reliance on intermediary relationships, broaden the payment services it can support and create more efficient pathways for domestic and cross-border transactions.

    The strategy is particularly relevant to enterprises operating payment programs across multiple jurisdictions, including marketplaces, gig economy and freelance platforms, gaming and esports companies, affiliate networks, insurance providers, clinical research organizations, direct selling companies, and businesses managing refunds, claims and reimbursements.

    For these businesses, expanded licensing is intended to give i-payout greater flexibility to introduce new payment capabilities, broaden geographic coverage and create a more integrated payment experience for both enterprises and their recipients.

    Whether a marketplace is paying thousands of sellers, a gig platform is compensating independent workers, a gaming company is distributing player or tournament payments, an insurer is issuing claims payments, or a clinical research organization is paying study participants, the underlying challenge is similar: moving money securely and efficiently to large numbers of recipients while supporting different payment methods, currencies, jurisdictions and regulatory requirements.

    i-payout’s licensing strategy is designed to strengthen the infrastructure supporting those increasingly complex payment programs.

    Expanding U.S. Regulatory Coverage

    i-payout has continued expanding its U.S. money transmitter licensing footprint during 2026 and is working toward completing its required U.S. licensing coverage by the end of 2027.

    As part of that expansion, i-payout recently received approval from the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions of Puerto Rico for its Money Services Business license, further expanding the company’s regulated U.S. footprint.

    The company’s broader licensing initiative is intended to increase the number of markets it can support directly and provide greater flexibility in how payment services are delivered to enterprise customers.

    For i-payout customers, the objective is straightforward: broader reach, greater control over payment delivery, more payment capabilities and an increasingly unified infrastructure for managing payouts at scale.

    “For nearly two decades, i-payout has been building technology that helps companies move money efficiently around the world,” said Eddie Gonzalez, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of i-payout. “Our customers include businesses that may need to pay thousands or even millions of people across different markets. Expanding our U.S. money transmitter licensing footprint gives us greater control over the infrastructure supporting those payments and positions us to provide our customers with more capabilities as their businesses grow.”

    Advancing i-payout’s European EMI Strategy

    At the same time, i-payout is advancing plans for a European EMI application as part of its broader international expansion strategy.

    The European initiative is intended to strengthen i-payout’s ability to support a wider range of regulated payment services across multiple European markets and further enhance its ability to serve enterprise customers with international payment requirements.

    For marketplaces, gig and freelance platforms, gaming and esports companies, affiliate networks, insurance providers and other digital businesses operating internationally, managing payment programs across markets through a more unified technology relationship can reduce the operational complexity associated with multiple payment providers, integrations and processes.

    “Our goal is not simply to collect licenses,” Gonzalez said. “We are building regulatory infrastructure that creates tangible benefits for our customers: more markets, more payment options, greater control and a simpler way to manage increasingly complex global payment programs.”

    Global Reach With True Local Payment Capabilities

    A key component of i-payout’s global strategy is expanding access to true local payment capabilities.

    For i-payout, a local payment means a payment delivered through domestic payment rails directly to a recipient’s local bank account in the recipient’s local currency — not through SWIFT and not through an international wire.

    This distinction is important for enterprises managing large recipient populations across multiple countries. Combining global reach with local payment capabilities can help businesses create a more localized recipient experience while reducing dependence on traditional cross-border payment processes.

    i-payout’s infrastructure is designed to give enterprise customers multiple ways to deliver funds, including local bank payments, virtual and physical cards, digital wallets, real-time payment capabilities and other alternative payment methods, depending on market availability and program requirements.

    Compliance Technology Supporting the Expansion

    Alongside its licensing initiative, i-payout continues to invest in technology designed to strengthen risk management, transaction monitoring and financial crime compliance.

    As part of this investment, i-payout is implementing Hawk’s AI-powered financial crime technology to enhance transaction monitoring and risk-assessment capabilities.

    Hawk provides AI-enabled technology for AML transaction monitoring, screening and other financial-crime risk functions used by banks, payment firms and fintech companies.

    These investments are intended to support the increasingly sophisticated payment environments of the enterprises i-payout serves while maintaining robust compliance controls as transaction volumes, payment methods and geographic coverage expand.

    One Platform Across Multiple Industries

    i-payout provides enterprise payout solutions across a range of industries and payment use cases, including:

    • Marketplaces: seller, merchant and participant payouts
    • Gig Economy & Freelance: contractor and worker payments
    • Gaming & Esports: player, creator, tournament and reward payouts
    • Affiliate & Performance Marketing: affiliate and commission payments
    • Direct Selling: distributor and commission payouts
    • Insurance: claims, reimbursements and other disbursements
    • Clinical Trials & Market Research: participant and research payments
    • Refunds & Reimbursements: consumer refunds, claims and corporate reimbursement programs
    • Enterprise & Global Workforce: high-volume domestic and international disbursements

    The company’s strategy combines regulatory infrastructure, payment technology, compliance controls and multiple payout methods within a configurable enterprise platform designed to help businesses move money to recipients domestically and internationally.

    “Licensing is not simply a compliance exercise for us,” Gonzalez added. “It is part of the infrastructure that allows us to build better products, create stronger financial relationships and give enterprise customers greater confidence in the platform handling their payments.”

    About i-payout

    International Payout Systems, Inc. (“i-payout”) is a global payments technology company providing configurable payment and payout solutions for businesses and organizations that need to distribute funds to recipients domestically and internationally.

    Founded in 2007, i-payout supports multiple payout methods and serves enterprises across industries including marketplaces, the gig economy and freelance workforce, gaming and esports, affiliate marketing, direct selling, insurance, clinical research, market research, refunds and reimbursements, and other high-volume payment programs.

    i-payout’s technology combines payment orchestration, recipient onboarding, identity verification, compliance capabilities, APIs, digital wallets and program-management tools within a unified enterprise payment environment.

  • Foundation Lets Ledger Users Switch to Open Source Without Starting Over

    Boston, MA, USA, September 15th, 2026, FinanceWire

    Legacy Mode brings open source apps developed for Ledger to Passport, letting users keep their existing accounts and familiar wallets on hardware assembled in the United States.

    Foundation today announced the beta release of Legacy Mode for Passport, enabling Ledger users to switch to open source hardware and software while keeping their existing accounts for supported assets. Legacy Mode runs open source cryptocurrency apps originally developed for Ledger and connects to familiar software wallets over USB.

    The release accompanies Foundation’s Switch campaign, built around a simple promise: switch to open source without starting over. As Ledger phases out support for the original Nano S, users can switch to Passport without transferring supported assets to new accounts. Their addresses, balances, and transaction history stay the same.

    “We started Foundation because we believe an open, decentralized Internet must be built on a foundation of open source hardware and software,” said Zach Herbert, cofounder and CEO of Foundation. “But people have spent years building their wallet setups. Asking them to move every asset and relearn everything is a real barrier. Legacy Mode lets them keep what they’ve built and put it on an open source foundation.”

    Ledger and its developer community have built an extensive library of open source cryptocurrency apps. Those apps normally run on Ledger’s operating system, which includes proprietary code. Foundation’s compatibility layer allows supported apps to run on KeyOS, the fully open source operating system powering Passport.

    KeyOS is a microkernel operating system written in Rust, with isolated processes and sandboxed apps. Foundation publishes its operating-system source code and hardware designs so developers and security researchers can inspect how Passport works.

    “We reimplemented the interfaces that Ledger’s open source apps use to talk to BOLOS, its operating system,” said Ken Carpenter, cofounder and CTO of Foundation. “That includes cryptographic operations, screen rendering, and USB communication. We can compile the existing app code for Passport and run it on KeyOS, without running Ledger’s proprietary operating system.”

    Ethereum and Solana are the first supported app families, selected for their broad adoption. Early beta users have tested compatibility with Rabby for Ethereum and EVM networks, and Phantom for Solana, over USB. Foundation plans to add further open source Ledger apps as users and developers need them.

    Legacy Mode launches in beta today as an optional, manual installation on Passport Prime. Users enter their existing recovery phrase on the device and connect to a compatible software wallet over USB. Foundation welcomes feedback from beta users to help improve compatibility and installation ahead of the full release this fall.

    Legacy Mode is a bridge to native KeyOS apps. As developers release apps built specifically for Passport, users can install them on the same device and choose when to move beyond Legacy Mode.

    The Foundation SDK is available now, and KeyOS 1.4.0 introduced app sideloading. This fall, a new KeyOS release will bring Foundation’s app catalog, where users will be able to seamlessly access a growing catalog of native KeyOS apps from Foundation and third-party developers – and install them with a single tap.

    Passport Prime is available starting at $349. To see the Switch campaign, supported apps, and installation guides, visit foundation.xyz/switch.

    About Foundation

    Foundation builds Human Authority Hardware: open source security devices that give individuals control over their money, identity, and digital lives. Its flagship device, Passport Prime, combines hardware security with KeyOS, an open source operating system for independently developed apps. Foundation’s hardware is assembled in the United States.

  • BingX Evolves into a Multi-Asset Trading Platform, Connecting Users to Global Opportunities

    PANAMA CITY, Panama, September 15th, 2026, Chainwire

    BingX today announced its strategic evolution into a multi-asset trading platform and will further its strategy through “Connect Markets. Unlock Opportunities.”, bringing crypto and traditional markets together through an integrated trading experience. The move reflects BingX’s ambition to help traders identify emerging market opportunities, understand the forces shaping them and act across asset classes through a united platform.

    Guided by its mission to empower traders to navigate and act on global markets, BingX envisions a world where every market is within reach. The company’s expanded offering reflects this vision, bringing together crypto and traditional markets in one place as the boundaries between asset classes continue to narrow.

    As economic developments, market narratives and investment opportunities become increasingly interconnected, monetary policy, macroeconomic conditions and market sentiment can influence both digital and traditional assets. BingX is expanding beyond its crypto-native foundations, combining broader market access with deep liquidity, AI-powered trading tools and market expertise.

    The BingX multi-asset platform is built around four strategic pillars:

    Trading: Trade Confidently with Multi-Asset Market Access

    BingX combines its crypto-native offering, including crypto futures, spot and copy trading, with an expanding range of TradFi products across stocks, forex, indices and commodities. The platform offers one of the industry’s broadest perpetual futures selections across traditional assets, alongside deep order-book liquidity across selected major TradFi futures assets.

    Experience: Connecting Market Intelligence with Execution

    AI-powered insights, signals and trading tools help traders navigate market developments and identify potential opportunities. TradingView integration provides advanced charting and analysis, while deep liquidity supports execution across key markets. Together, these capabilities give traders a more direct path from market analysis to execution.

    Opportunities: Capture What’s Moving Across Markets

    BingX brings together market research, industry expertise, educational resources and community engagement to give traders a broader view of developments across crypto and traditional finance. By covering the narratives and forces shaping different markets, BingX aims to make it easier for users to identify areas of interest and explore opportunities beyond a single asset class.

    Reliability: Built on Trust

    As BingX broadens its market coverage, reliability remains a core foundation of the platform. BingX supports its trading environment with 100% Proof of Reserves and its Shield Fund. These measures reflect the company’s continued focus on security, transparency and operational resilience as it evolves into a multi-asset trading platform.

    “Our evolution into multi-asset is a natural progression for BingX as markets become increasingly interconnected,” said Kevin Lee, Chief Strategy Officer at BingX. “Traders today are not necessarily thinking in terms of one asset class. They are looking at the broader market and considering where conditions, narratives and opportunities are developing. Our role is to give them access, infrastructure and perspective to navigate that landscape from one platform.”

    About BingX

    Founded in 2018, BingX is the world’s leading multi-asset trading platform, serving more than 40 million users worldwide. From crypto to traditional markets, BingX connects users with a broad range of assets and opportunities across global markets through one unified platform.

    With perpetual futures, TradFi offerings, spot trading and copy trading, alongside AI-powered innovations, BingX delivers a reliable, intelligent, and responsive trading experience designed to help traders navigate evolving markets and act on opportunities with greater confidence and efficiency.

    BingX has been the Principal Partner of Chelsea FC since 2024 and became the Official Team Partner of Scuderia Ferrari HP in 2026.

  • BingX Evolves into a Multi-Asset Trading Platform, Connecting Users to Global Opportunities

    PANAMA CITY, Panama, September 15th, 2026, Chainwire

    BingX today announced its strategic evolution into a multi-asset trading platform and will further its strategy through “Connect Markets. Unlock Opportunities.”, bringing crypto and traditional markets together through an integrated trading experience. The move reflects BingX’s ambition to help traders identify emerging market opportunities, understand the forces shaping them and act across asset classes through a united platform.

    Guided by its mission to empower traders to navigate and act on global markets, BingX envisions a world where every market is within reach. The company’s expanded offering reflects this vision, bringing together crypto and traditional markets in one place as the boundaries between asset classes continue to narrow.

    As economic developments, market narratives and investment opportunities become increasingly interconnected, monetary policy, macroeconomic conditions and market sentiment can influence both digital and traditional assets. BingX is expanding beyond its crypto-native foundations, combining broader market access with deep liquidity, AI-powered trading tools and market expertise.

    The BingX multi-asset platform is built around four strategic pillars:

    Trading: Trade Confidently with Multi-Asset Market Access

    BingX combines its crypto-native offering, including crypto futures, spot and copy trading, with an expanding range of TradFi products across stocks, forex, indices and commodities. The platform offers one of the industry’s broadest perpetual futures selections across traditional assets, alongside deep order-book liquidity across selected major TradFi futures assets.

    Experience: Connecting Market Intelligence with Execution

    AI-powered insights, signals and trading tools help traders navigate market developments and identify potential opportunities. TradingView integration provides advanced charting and analysis, while deep liquidity supports execution across key markets. Together, these capabilities give traders a more direct path from market analysis to execution.

    Opportunities: Capture What’s Moving Across Markets

    BingX brings together market research, industry expertise, educational resources and community engagement to give traders a broader view of developments across crypto and traditional finance. By covering the narratives and forces shaping different markets, BingX aims to make it easier for users to identify areas of interest and explore opportunities beyond a single asset class.

    Reliability: Built on Trust

    As BingX broadens its market coverage, reliability remains a core foundation of the platform. BingX supports its trading environment with 100% Proof of Reserves and its Shield Fund. These measures reflect the company’s continued focus on security, transparency and operational resilience as it evolves into a multi-asset trading platform.

    “Our evolution into multi-asset is a natural progression for BingX as markets become increasingly interconnected,” said Kevin Lee, Chief Strategy Officer at BingX. “Traders today are not necessarily thinking in terms of one asset class. They are looking at the broader market and considering where conditions, narratives and opportunities are developing. Our role is to give them access, infrastructure and perspective to navigate that landscape from one platform.”

    About BingX

    Founded in 2018, BingX is the world’s leading multi-asset trading platform, serving more than 40 million users worldwide. From crypto to traditional markets, BingX connects users with a broad range of assets and opportunities across global markets through one unified platform.

    With perpetual futures, TradFi offerings, spot trading and copy trading, alongside AI-powered innovations, BingX delivers a reliable, intelligent, and responsive trading experience designed to help traders navigate evolving markets and act on opportunities with greater confidence and efficiency.

    BingX has been the Principal Partner of Chelsea FC since 2024 and became the Official Team Partner of Scuderia Ferrari HP in 2026.

  • International Trading Institute Expands Professional Trader Development Beyond the Master’s in Trading

    Barcelona, Spain, September 15th, 2026, FinanceWire

    The International Trading Institute (ITI) has expanded its education offering beyond its flagship Master’s in Trading, creating a broader set of professional development pathways for traders at different stages of experience.

    A beginner may need a sound foundation in markets and risk. An active trader may need to strengthen execution or psychology. A more experienced trader may need deeper study, structured feedback, or a mentor who can identify weaknesses that are difficult to see from inside their own process.

    ITI now brings those needs together through foundation programs, standalone Master’s-level courses, professional certificates, 1:1 mentorship, and its accredited Master’s in Trading.

    From Knowledge to Professional Process

    At the advanced end of ITI’s pathway is its two-year, part-time Master’s in Trading, designed for working professionals and serious independent traders who want to develop their trading within a more rigorous professional framework while continuing their careers and market activity.

    Many experienced traders have already accumulated some years of strategies, market commentary, and self-directed learning. The harder task is turning that knowledge into a coherent process: understanding what is driving a market, building a thesis, managing risk, executing with discipline, and reviewing decisions systematically.

    The Master’s connects market analysis, strategy, execution, risk management, and trading psychology through live instruction, applied market work, and 1:1 mentorship. Offered in partnership with Westcliff University, it leads to an accredited master’s degree in Trading. The next cohort begins October 27, 2026, and applications are open.

    Trading Performance Under Pressure

    A major specialist pathway is ITI’s Trading Psychology & Performance Certificate, a 16-week live online program beginning October 27, 2026. It combines two Master’s-level courses, Trading Psychology and Advanced Trading Psychology, with practical tools for traders who understand what they should do but struggle to execute consistently under pressure.

    Students examine cognitive bias, emotional regulation, risk perception, and decision-making under uncertainty, then build systems around behavioral KPIs, pre-trade routines, review processes, and recovery protocols. The program culminates in a personal Trader Performance Operating System, treating psychology as a performance discipline rather than motivational content.

    Steve Ward, an ITI faculty member and specialist in trader performance who coaches hedge fund portfolio managers and elite traders, summarized the challenge succinctly:

    “What separates long-term performers isn’t just their system or edge. It’s their ability to be able to execute consistently under pressure.”

    Individual Development, One Trader at a Time

    For traders whose needs do not fit neatly into a course, ITI’s 1:1 Trading Mentorship offers direct access to experienced market professionals. Mentorship is matched to the individual and may focus on execution, risk, psychology, strategy refinement, review, or accountability. The aim is not prediction or shortcuts, but experienced feedback and a more disciplined development process.

    At foundation level, ITI runs Trading for Beginners twice a year. The current cohort begins September 15 and introduces new traders to chart analysis, market context, risk, and rules-based trade planning through eight live sessions.

    ITI also offers standalone courses and certificates across specialist areas of trading. Traders can address a specific gap, work privately with a mentor, or pursue the full graduate pathway when they are ready for a broader commitment.

    Applications for the October Master’s cohort and enrollment for the Trading Psychology & Performance Certificate are open. Traders interested in 1:1 mentorship can request an initial consultation with ITI.

    The International Trading Institute (ITI) is a professional trading education institution offering structured development pathways for traders at every stage, from foundational learning to advanced specialist study, 1:1 mentorship, and an accredited Master’s in Trading.
