Taking place from 02–05 November at Fiera Roma, FX World will be part of a major cross-industry gathering that brings together financial markets leaders alongside the wider technology, gaming, affiliate, and digital innovation communities. The event is set to attract thousands of industry professionals to Rome, creating an environment where established businesses, emerging companies, investors and decision-makers can connect under one roof.

A new home for FX

One of the key additions for 2026 is the new FX Hall, creating a dedicated space for the financial markets community within the wider Rome event. The hall will bring together leading brokers and financial services players, including XM.com, eToro, ATFX, Plus500 and Finery Markets, alongside a growing Prop Trading sector featuring firms such as The5ers and PIPCY. With affiliates, partners, brokers, technology providers and traders all under one roof, the FX Hall will provide a focused environment for discovering new solutions, forging partnerships and building valuable commercial connections. 

The wider exhibition will also provide access to a diverse ecosystem spanning fintech, payments, digital assets, AI and emerging technologies. With 1,000 exhibitors expected across the wider event and 30,000 delegates projected to attend, FX World will offer a valuable gateway into a much broader network of businesses and decision-makers.

Three days of market insight

Beyond the exhibition floor, FX World will deliver a conference programme on the Global Finance Stage, addressing some of the most pressing issues shaping the financial markets today. The agenda will explore the forces driving the next phase of forex and trading, from shifting interest rates and geopolitical uncertainty to fragmented liquidity, technology, automation and the evolving needs of introducing brokers and affiliate networks.

The programme will also look beyond current market conditions to the commercial forces shaping the future of forex. The talks will cover the prospects for international expansion, the complexities of conducting international transactions, the growing importance of AI and fintech, and the rise of AI agents in the financial industry, with presenters providing forecasts of the main trends and events to come in 2027. A key highlight on the Global Finance Stage will be a keynote from futurist and bestselling author Brett King, who will present “BANK 5.0: THE RISE OF AUTONOMOUS BANKING IN A SMART WORLD”, exploring the emergence of agentic banking and a financial system in which AI agents can autonomously manage portfolios, negotiate loans, transact and trade. His keynote will examine how financial institutions may need to evolve as intelligent, always-on systems built for an increasingly autonomous economy.

Where business meets networking

For many attendees, the value of FX World will extend well beyond the conference and exhibition.

Networking remains central to the Rome experience, with dedicated networking drinks at the Platinum VIP Lounge and opportunities to connect with fellow delegates throughout the event.

The wider programme also includes a welcome reception at the Lanterna di Fuksas, an exclusive iGathering networking cocktail, and the AIBC & FX Awards at the historic Corsia Sistina di Santo Spirito in Sassia. The awards will bring together leading figures from the technology and financial markets communities for an evening of recognition, networking, and celebration. Nominations are now open.

Participants can also use the SiGMA Match system to find suitable listeners, organize sessions, and schedule their activities during the event, making the four-day gathering valuable for business growth.

A wider ecosystem in Rome

FX World will not operate in isolation. Its co-location with SiGMA World, AIBC World and Affiliate Grand Slam creates an unusually broad business environment, bringing together financial markets, gaming, AI, blockchain, fintech, digital assets and affiliate marketing.

For FX professionals, this creates opportunities to engage with adjacent sectors and explore partnerships that may sit outside the traditional financial markets ecosystem. For technology companies and startups, it offers a route to investors, operators, brokers and other potential commercial partners.

The startup ecosystem will also feature prominently, with startup pitch competitions giving emerging companies opportunities to present their businesses and connect with investors and industry leaders.

About FX World

FX World brings together forex, trading and financial markets professionals for four days of industry insight, networking and business opportunities. Taking place in Rome from 2–5 November 2026, the event connects brokers, affiliates, fintechs, technology providers, traders and investors through a dedicated FX Hall, conference programme and wider cross-industry ecosystem.

Rome is calling

With the event now fast approaching, FX World 2026 is shaping up to be a key date for anyone looking to understand where the financial markets industry is heading and who is driving its next phase.

From the new FX Hall and expanded exhibition opportunities to expert-led conference sessions, high-level networking and access to a wider cross-industry ecosystem, Rome promises four days built around knowledge, connections and commercial opportunity. One ticket gives attendees access to four major events under one roof: Affiliate Grand Slam, AIBC World, FX World and SiGMA World, opening the door to an even broader network of industry leaders, businesses and potential partners. 

FX World 2026 takes place from 02–05 November 2026 at Fiera Roma. Registration is now open, with ticket prices set to increase. Secure your place and join the global financial markets community in Rome this November.

The trio will discuss institutional adoption, tokenization, digital asset infrastructure, settlement and the changing role of blockchain in global financial markets.

The agenda will also look at several areas where traditional finance and blockchain infrastructure are increasingly overlapping.

Abhinav Agarwal, Co-Founder and COO of CoinGape, said:

We are now seeing institutions build the infrastructure around tokenization, stablecoins, custody, payments and on chain markets. Global Onchain Summit is designed to bring the people driving that shift into one room and have a direct conversation about what comes next.”

The event will also host the Global Onchain Awards 2026. The awards recognize companies and leaders across categories including tokenization, institutional DeFi, stablecoins, custody, payments, compliance and digital assets.

The Global Trading Show is built on three pillars designed to give attendees direct access to the entire investment universe and the people driving it.

Multi-Asset Trading Floor
Brokers, exchanges, and trading platforms will showcase their products side by side, giving traders and institutions a single vantage point across every major asset class and removing the need for fragmented, single-market events.

KOLs & Creators
Global Trading Show recognizes that today’s markets move as much through influence as through infrastructure. The event convenes leading financial KOLs and creators alongside institutional players, bridging the gap between the trading floor and the platforms where retail and professional audiences increasingly get their market intelligence. 

The two-day event will spotlight the next evolution of trading through dedicated AI & Quant, Web3 & DeFi, Retail Education, and Institutional Liquidity zones, complemented by live trading challenges, expert-led masterclasses, and exclusive institutional forums with closed-door sessions and open panels for hedge funds, prime brokers, liquidity providers, sovereign wealth funds and family offices.

“Capital today moves across forex, crypto, gold, AI-driven strategies and more, all at once, the industry still meets in silos. We are proud to announce that the Global Trading Show is the region’s only event to bring seven asset classes under one umbrella, where the entire ecosystem converges. Abu Dhabi is where institutional money and emerging assets now meet, so this conversation belongs here, in one of the most significant sovereign-grade venues in the region” – Vishal Parmar, Founder and CEO, VAP Group.

The Global Trading Show highlights how rapidly evolving technology is reshaping market structures by bridging institutional finance with high-velocity retail trading. It serves as a collaborative and intersectional hub for legacy banking compliance, decentralized blockchain networks, and cross-market portfolios.

The strong opening comes weeks after Dubai was ranked the world’s number one location for FinTech in the latest Global Financial Centres Index (GFCI) — a title Forex Expo Dubai now brings into sharp focus, gathering the very brokers, platforms, and traders driving that leadership under one roof.

Day 1 Captures the Scale of Forex Expo Dubai

Keynotes and panel discussions across five stages drew packed audiences, while busy exhibition booths kept the halls buzzing as the global trading industry came together to connect and do business.

More than 16,000 attendees and 270+ exhibitors filled the floor, building on an already strong edition and setting the pace for the days ahead.

Attendees explored market trends, trading strategies, technology and business growth through focused sessions, while dedicated lounges provided spaces for meetings, networking and downtime between sessions.

The event also attracted prominent personalities, including Dubai-based content creator and entrepreneur Mo Vlogs and Bollywood actress Urvashi Rautela, adding to the diverse audience.

Across the exhibition floor, sponsor activations, contests, giveaways, and guest appearances kept the energy high, as businesses and traders connected, discovered new solutions, and explored opportunities under one roof. Traders, IBs, and affiliates also took part in the Gold Lucky Draw, competing for a share of 160g of 24K Gold.

What to expect in Day 2

While Day 1 set the pace, Day 2 on 23 September will bring another full day of sessions, meetings, activities and networking across Halls 1–5.

Expect insights on IB and affiliate growth, AI-driven investing, FX and crypto risk management, and the trading themes shaping Q4 2026. 

Beyond the sessions, attendees arriving on Day 2 can continue exploring the 270+ exhibitor booths, sponsor activities and contests, dedicated lounges and networking areas across the five halls.

For those who missed the opening day, Day 2 offers a chance to experience the atmosphere and scale of the event for themselves. For those who were already there, it provides another day to discover more, meet more people and catch the sessions they may have missed.

Forex Expo Dubai 2026 continues tomorrow, 23 September, at Dubai World Trade Centre, Halls 1–5.

Grvt kicked off its “Paid Mode, On” campaign on September 21, offering traders payments when a resting limit order on an eligible RWA pair gets filled during the three-month campaign that runs until December 21. 

The campaign covers trades on any of the 100+ tokenized equities, commodities, regional ETFs, and private company markets, such as SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic, that Grvt offers.

How does the Grvt rebate campaign work? 

While the “−1bps rebate” tagline on Grvt’s campaign immediately appears attractive because of the 100X improvement on the platform’s standard entry-tier rebate, anyone interested in participating needs to note that certain guardrails still apply:

• Scope: The Grvt rebate campaign only applies to RWA trading markets. Crypto perps trading on the platform will continue to run on its standard fee schedule. 
• Eligibility: The campaign is open exclusively to retail accounts. The campaign will not even appear in the app interface for users running institutional accounts, VIP accounts, or a negotiated market-maker agreement. 

Accounts that are reclassified as institutional or VIP during the campaign period immediately become ineligible for new rebate payments. 

Accounts that are already on fee tiers with better rates than the −1bps rebate the campaign offers remain at their current tier. They are never downgraded.

• Traders don’t need to manually claim their payouts. Rewards are credited directly into users’ trading accounts on every eligible fill.
• Every account linked to the same IP, device fingerprint, or showing “coordinated” trading patterns will be treated as a single entity, and all their earned rebates is subject to review.
• Wash trades, self-matched trades, or volume-generating trades flagged by Grvt do not qualify for rebates. Any rebates paid to accounts flagged in non-genuine trading activities could also be clawed back, subject to a review.

Grvt added that it reserves the right to shorten, pause, or end the campaign early “in response to unusual market activity or a system issue,” with notice where possible.

How does Grvt’s rebate payment compare across the industry? 

Even before Grvt launched its three-month rebate campaign, the platform’s standard rate is already an exception among trading platforms. 

The campaign multiplies Grvt’s Level 1 −0.0001% baseline rebate, which has no volume requirement, by roughly 100x to −0.01%.

In essence, two $100,000 maker fills that would normally earn $0.20 now net $20.

Other venues, on the other hand, only extend negative fee rates to accounts operating at the top of the volume ladder: 

• On Hyperliquid, rates only turn negative for accounts that supply over 0.5% of total exchange-wide maker volume across a rolling 14-day window
• dYdX users have to do $100 million in volume over 30 days, with its best rate (−0.011%) reserved for $200 million-plus. 
• Aster and Lighter’s standard accounts don’t pay a rebate at all. Their maker fee simply floors at zero. 

Grvt is moving to leverage competitive advantage

Grvt’s rebate campaign lands as a play to ride the boom on an asset class that’s reportedly already clearing over $200 billion in monthly volume across the industry. The accompanying RWA order book and maker activity boosts are exactly the kind of usage metrics that enhance a platform’s reputation. 

Grvt raised $19M in a Series A led by ZKsync roughly a year ago on a privacy-first pitch aimed at Hyperliquid’s dominance.

The platform’s native GRVT token is trading around $0.188, a few months removed from the late-July all-time high it set at $0.4615. Market cap sits near $21.5M against a $188M fully diluted value, with only about 11% of the 1 billion token supply circulating.

Organized by DSA in collaboration with The Hillsdalian, the interactive session brought together participants for a discussion about personal finance, financial systems, emerging technologies, and the changing tools people use to manage money in their everyday lives.

The focus group was designed to gather qualitative insights for DSA’s ongoing longitudinal research into financial literacy and to help inform weekly publications in The Hillsdalian. As financial systems increasingly incorporate digital technologies, the session examined how individuals understand and navigate both traditional financial concepts and newer tools, including mobile banking, payment applications, automated financial platforms, and digital assets.

The discussion explored participants’ experiences with financial literacy education; approaches to planning, saving, and budgeting; credit, debt, and traditional banking; investing and long-term wealth building; and the growing role of technology in everyday financial decision-making. Participants also discussed their familiarity with digital assets, stablecoins, and decentralized finance, as well as their current and future financial concerns.

Throughout the session, participants shared how they learn about financial products, which tools they rely on, where they encounter uncertainty, and how changes in technology are influencing their financial habits. The conversation also provided an opportunity to identify areas where existing financial education frameworks may not fully reflect the ways consumers now interact with an increasingly digital financial system.

“People are paying bills on their phones, sending money through apps, and getting financial advice from social media,” said Molly Woodman, Senior Policy Advisor at DSA. “Financial education has to catch up to that. We need to hear how people are actually handling their money, including what’s working, what’s confusing, and where technology is helping or getting in the way.”

The session was led by DSA Senior Policy Advisor Molly Woodman, Content Manager Emily Ekshian, and Policy Associate Maghan Lusk. Following the formal discussion, the DSA team remained available to answer additional participant questions.

Through initiatives such as the Financial Literacy in a Changing Economy focus group, DSA remains committed to advancing research and education that reflects how individuals engage with modern financial systems, helping inform discussions around financial literacy, emerging technology, responsible innovation, and digital sovereignty.

The Digital Sovereignty Alliance (DSA) is a nonprofit social welfare organization committed to advocating for public policies that support ethical innovation in decentralized technologies, blockchain, cryptocurrency, Web3, and artificial intelligence.

Stuttgart, Germany, September 21, 2026 – CoinsBee, a global platform that makes it easy to use cryptocurrency for everyday purchases, today announced that USDT (TRC-20) on the TRON network has become the most-used onchain token and network payment option on CoinsBee, according to payment data from the global crypto gift card platform.

Over the 90-day period ending September 1, 2026, USDT on TRON recorded approximately 1.8 times as many payments on CoinsBee as Bitcoin and 1.9 times as many as Ethereum.

Its share of payment activity has also substantially increased. USDT on TRON accounted for 16.23% of all payments on CoinsBee in 2026 to date, compared with 9.92% in 2025. This represents a 64% increase in its share of total payments.

The data provides insight into how cryptocurrency holders use digital assets for everyday retail purchases, in addition to trading and investing. CoinsBee allows customers in more than 180 countries to purchase gift cards, payment cards, gaming credits and mobile top-ups from more than 5,000 global and local brands using over 200 cryptocurrencies.

USDT on TRON is also responsible for a large share of USDT spending on the platform. Over the past 90 days, TRC20 accounted for 44.6% of USDT payments on CoinsBee but 64.5% of USDT turnover. This indicates that the average value of USDT purchases made through TRON was higher than purchases made through other networks that support USDT.

In the United States, the most purchased brands using USDT on TRON during the same period included Amazon, Apple, AT&T, PlayStation, Uber, Macy’s, T-Mobile, Walmart, Sephora and DoorDash. The purchases covered categories including retail, mobile connectivity, gaming, transport and food delivery.

These findings are based on CoinsBee payment data. The 90-day analysis covers the period from June 4 through September 1, 2026, and includes successfully paid and delivered orders. It compares payments by cryptocurrency and blockchain network. Payment counts represent completed payments rather than transaction value, while turnover represents the value of the corresponding purchases on CoinsBee. The comparison of payment share uses 2026 data to date and full year 2025 data. Payment share represents each token and network combination as a percentage of total completed payments on CoinsBee during the respective period.

With this momentum, CoinsBee and TRON DAO are launching a joint campaign focused on the use of USDT on TRON for everyday purchases.

From September 21 through October 5, 2026, CoinsBee will offer eligible users of the CoinsBee mobile app a 2% discount on purchases paid with USDT on TRON. Users can enter the code USDT-TRC in the CoinsBee app and select USDT on TRON as their payment method to activate the discount. This offer is available once per user. Subject to conditions. Full campaign terms and eligibility requirements are available on the CoinsBee website.

“USDT on TRON is already the most used onchain payment option on CoinsBee, and its share of payments has grown considerably over the past year,” said Iván Escamilla Rodriguez, Product and Growth Lead at CoinsBee. “What is particularly interesting for us is that this activity translates into purchases across categories such as retail, mobile services, gaming and food delivery. Our payment data gives us a direct view into how people use stablecoins when they want to spend their assets.”

“Stablecoins become more useful when people can use them for products and services they already purchase,” said Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson at TRON DAO. “TRON provides infrastructure for USDT transactions at global scale, and the collaboration with CoinsBee gives users another way to use USDT for everyday purchases.”

The campaign highlights the growing use of USDT on TRON with CoinsBee’s catalog of more than 5,000 global and local brands. CoinsBee serves more than 500,000 customers and supports cryptocurrency payments for gift cards and digital products across ecommerce, gaming, entertainment, travel, food, fashion, mobile services and other categories.

About CoinsBee

CoinsBee is a global platform that makes it easy to use cryptocurrency for everyday purchases. Founded in 2019, CoinsBee enables customers to buy gift cards, payment cards, gaming credits, and mobile top-ups using more than 200 cryptocurrencies.

Available in over 180 countries, CoinsBee serves more than 500,000 customers and provides access to gift cards and digital products from more than 5,000 global and local brands across categories including e-commerce, gaming, entertainment, travel, food, fashion, and more.

The platform continues to expand its global reach, supported cryptocurrencies, and brand selection to make spending crypto simple, fast, and accessible.

Just five months after its launch, B.AI has already set a new industry record with a daily throughput of over 1.51 trillion tokens—a 71,500x-plus increase since inception.

B.AI achieved in just over 100 days what took OpenRouter, an early aggregation pioneer, roughly two years. Driven by the integration of settlement networks with core infrastructure, the exponential growth pulled off by B.AI highlights the viability of its full-stack commercial strategy while also demonstrating to the global market that the platform has risen to be the absolute leader in the next-generation AI infrastructure stack.

B.AI has secured its leadership thanks largely to its ability to capture and cater to the global demand for cost-effective, high-performance Chinese LLMs. While offering homegrown LLM products a critical gateway for international adoption, the platform has also gained a head start by positioning itself as a global compute distribution hub. B.AI’s ability to rise in this tailwind is rooted in its unique ecosystem design.

Co-incubated by TRON and YZi Labs, B.AI disrupts the market via a dual engine of settlement and distribution, plus its complete infrastructure for the emerging agent economy. The platform enables global access to top-tier LLM compute while equipping AI agents with native resource scheduling and execution capabilities—unlocking liquidity and value exchange across the global agent economy.

Unprecedented Infrastructure Growth: B.AI Builds Global Distribution Hub for LLMs

To reach 1.51 trillion tokens in its daily throughput, simply seizing the tailwind is far from enough. B.AI has also responded swiftly to two macro trends in the AI industry: the cost-performance advantage of leading Chinese LLMs and the surging demand for high-throughput, low-cost inference in the agentic era.

Over the past year, Chinese LLM developers like DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, and GLM have matched top global benchmarks at a fraction of the API cost. This unbeatable cost efficiency makes adoption virtually inevitable for developers worldwide. 

As a global, next-generation infrastructure, B.AI aggregates top international models like GPT and Claude alongside rising Chinese LLMs. The platform has established close partnerships with Tencent, Alibaba, ByteDance, DeepSeek, Zhipu AI, Kimi, and MiniMax—all top LLM players in the Chinese market—to build a comprehensive model portfolio. This all-star model lineup has, in turn, made B.AI the default launchpad for Chinese LLMs seeking global expansion.

Chinese LLMs, including DeepSeek-V4-Flash, Qwen3.8-Flash, and GLM-5.3 Flash, have stood out as top-performing models on B.AI with the highest usage. Building on the momentum, B.AI continues to drive adoption through model discounts, limited-time free access, tiered API pricing (with discounts up to 90%), and developer incentives, aiming to convert model cost efficiencies into usable throughput for developers worldwide. The traction from this strategic positioning is clearly backed by the numbers: B.AI’s daily token throughput has breached 1.51 trillion—a massive 71,500x-plus surge since its first day upon launch.

Beyond its organic growth momentum, ecosystem partner YZi Labs serves as B.AI’s core distribution engine, continuously onboarding early-stage projects and developer communities. This ecosystem support enables B.AI to penetrate diverse real-world use cases, driving a steady influx of incremental traffic and commercial demand.

For foundation model providers, B.AI’s multi-trillion, high-concurrency architecture provides a fast track to high-value global workloads. Within this massive pool of demand, B.AI has evolved from a simple distribution channel into a primary facilitator—scaling the commercial reach of leading LLMs while reshaping the global AI landscape.

Beyond Aggregation and Routing: B.AI Builds Closed-Loop Infrastructure for the Agent Economy

Yet for this super amplifier to truly sustain a trillion-dollar agent economy, front-end compute routing is nowhere near enough. Building on the API aggregation foundation pioneered by early movers like OpenRouter, B.AI recognized a critical insight: fully unlocking massive agent collaboration requires a closed financial loop at the foundational layer. 

To achieve this, B.AI bridges models and agents, creating a global settlement layer for intelligence. This core differentiator transforms the platform from a simple traffic conduit into the central master ledger for the entire agent economy, ensuring every cross-region call and task allocation is seamlessly routed, precisely metered, and automatically settled. 

To achieve this vision, B.AI embeds settlement directly into the infrastructure layer, creating a dual-track Web2 and Web3 payment network. Built on Web3 principles, the architecture maintains backward compatibility with traditional Web2 payment systems. On the Web3 front, B.AI leverages on-chain settlement channels to provide global developers with decentralized, verifiable, and low-friction options that enable fully automated transactions and micropayments between agents. On the Web2 front, it preserves legacy gateways like WeChat Pay, Alipay, UnionPay, and Visa, ensuring effortless integration into existing enterprise workflows. Together, this dual-track model delivers a single integration point for frictionless global capital flow. 

At the heart of this global liquidity is B.AI’s deep integration with TRON. As the world’s largest stablecoin transfer network, TRON offers B.AI a native payment rail through its massive USDT ecosystem, built for maximum liquidity and minimal friction. As of September 10, total TRC-20 USDT supply surpassed 94.2 billion, continuing to set record highs. Backed by TRON’s battle-tested on-chain capacity, B.AI provides the essential infrastructure required to scale cross-border compute scheduling and high-frequency automated agent micro-transactions.

The true ambition of this architecture is to capture the emerging landscape of automated transactions in the agent economy ahead of the pack. The coming explosion in agent adoption will inevitably drive agent-to-agent (A2A) collaboration and autonomous commerce. Yet, fully unlocking this automated A2A synergy requires far more than just a foundational payment rail. B.AI builds beyond its Web3 smart settlement network by deploying a dedicated full-stack runtime environment for agents. This establishes an end-to-end, high-precision technical loop bridging compute scheduling, task execution, and financial settlement. 

At the scheduling layer, B.AI drives fine-grained compute allocation.  Its tiered API system fundamentally reshapes compute procurement logic, offering structured invocation plans that allow developers to match specific business demands with optimal compute resources. 

At the execution layer, B.AI constructs a native agent collaboration ecosystem.  It endows agents with direct operational capabilities to act across the digital world. Powered by embedded toolchains like Skills and Agent Wallet, alongside natively integrated AI assistants BAIclaw and BAI code, agents evolve into fully fledged digital workers capable of autonomous data acquisition and execution, laying a solid engineering foundation for multi-agent synergy. 

At the protocol layer, B.AI establishes foundational transaction standards for A2A commerce.  This marks B.AI’s most strategically profound move. By natively integrating the x402 payment protocol and the 8004 identity authentication protocol, the platform paves a standardized path for mutual trust, identity verification, and high-frequency automated settlement between agents. 

From fine-grained model scheduling to intelligent collaboration systems and standardized transaction protocols, this architecture seamlessly fuses perception, reasoning, action, and settlement. This holistic infrastructure propels B.AI into a central hub for the agent economy, engineered to handle micro-transactions and compute settlement at scale. Crossing into the trillion-token era is merely a new starting point for B.AI. As next-generation AI infrastructure, its core value extends beyond distributing intelligence to powering transactions. By establishing foundational standards for high-frequency A2A collaboration, B.AI is reshaping the global flow of compute value, driving AI infrastructure into a new era built explicitly for agents and machine intelligence.

Through the integration, Ducat users can use USDT as a primary settlement asset and access wUNIT, the TRC-20 representation of Ducat’s Bitcoin-backed dollar, UNIT, on the TRON network. UNIT remains issued against BTC on Bitcoin, while wUNIT enables that value to move across TRON and interact with USDT liquidity. Users can hold wUNIT or swap it directly for USDT through a dedicated stablecoin liquidity pool, while liquidity providers can supply both assets and receive a share of swap fees generated by the pool.

The integration connects Ducat’s Bitcoin-native credit engine with TRON’s stablecoin network while keeping Ducat’s underlying collateral and issuance on Bitcoin. The architecture cleanly separates the roles of each layer: Bitcoin provides the underlying value and collateral, Ducat manages the monetary and credit logic, and TRON provides the scalable settlement environment. This gives Bitcoin-backed liquidity a direct route into TRON’s stablecoin ecosystem, supporting payments, capital movement, and other on-chain financial workflows.

“Ducat brings Bitcoin-backed value into TRON’s robust stablecoin ecosystem, which already has more than $94 billion in circulating USDT” said Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson at TRON DAO. “TRON users gain access to another digital dollar, while Bitcoin holders gain more ways to put their liquidity to work across the network.”

“UNIT was designed to let Bitcoin holders access dollar liquidity without handing their BTC to a custodian,” said David Evans, CEO of Ducat. “The TRON integration turns that model into something people can use across one of crypto’s largest stablecoin networks. wUNIT will arrive as a TRC-20 token, swap directly against USDT, and move back to Bitcoin through the same bridge. The integration can put Bitcoin-backed credit into the flow of stablecoins people already use every day.” 

The integration reflects a shared focus between Ducat and TRON on expanding stablecoin utility beyond trading-driven activity. By combining Bitcoin-backed value, Ducat’s monetary infrastructure, and TRON’s scalable settlement network, the integration connects Bitcoin-backed credit with a stablecoin ecosystem built to support payments, liquidity, and broader financial activity at scale.
