Threshold DAO reintroduced the 20-basis-point tBTC mint fee on April 15, 2026, with revenue flowing to T stakers rather than KEEP holders.

MOCA Holders Hit Six Hundred Thousand on Free Access
Moca Network (MOCA) is a chain-agnostic identity infrastructure project by Animoca Brands, designed to give users portable digital identity, reputation, and credentials across ecosystems via the AIR Kit SDK. MOCA trades around $0.01355 with a $55.5M market cap, $120.48M FDV, and 4.09 billion tokens in circulation against a max supply of 8.888 billion, ranked outside the top 400 on CoinGecko.

An April 11 unlock dropped $3.36M into a $55M market cap; volume held around $3M and price found legs above the April 4 low. Animoca secured a Dubai VARA VASP license in February 2026. Mainnet credential count, the metric that would convert holders to fee-paying users, currently sits at zero.

Pax Dollar Survived What Killed BUSD and USDC
Pax Dollar (USDP) is a regulated USD-pegged stablecoin issued by Paxos under New York trust charter, with reserves held 100% in cash and cash equivalents in segregated, bankruptcy-remote accounts. USDP trades at $1.00 with a market cap around $40.5M, daily volume between $4.4M and $10.6M, ranked outside the top 400 on CoinGecko. Despite a market that dwarfs it, USDP held its peg through the February 2023 wind-down of BUSD by NYDFS and the March 2023 USDC depeg after Silicon Valley Bank's collapse. Paxos secured conditional OCC national trust charter approval in December 2025, attestations are now issued by KPMG LLP under AICPA standards, and Mastercard and Visa are integrating USDP for merchant settlement. Binance and Crypto.com delisted USDP for European users under MiCA, severing a key liquidity lifeline. USDP is built deliberately for regulatory durability rather than scale.

Function FBTC TVL Hits Billions Without Daily Trades
Function (FBTC) is a wrapped Bitcoin protocol (formerly Ignition) offering 1:1 BTC-backed yield through DeFi integration across Ethereum, Mantle, Arbitrum, and 25+ dApps. FBTC trades around $77,000 with an $852M market cap and 11,014 tokens in circulation, ranked #8 in bridge category TVL. Function has amassed $1.5 billion in TVL and announced $50 million in cumulative DeFi settlements. Galaxy Digital co-led the $10 million seed round alongside Antalpha and Mantle, serving as core contributor and governance architect. The thesis: Function has shipped genuine institutional Bitcoin yield infrastructure with audited reserves and major DeFi integrations. But daily trading volume sits near zero, the integration pipeline has slowed since mid-2025, and GoPlus has flagged that the contract creator can still pause sells, change fees, and mint tokens. When the Build vs Adoption gap is this wide, settlement claims deserve careful reading.
