Goldman Sachs has connected its approximately $100 billion government bond fund FTIXX to the digital asset settlement network Lynq, providing a new subscription channel for institutional-level crypto companies. The fund will be listed on Lynq, with trading handled by tZERO Securities, a broker-dealer registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. This is the first external fund introduced to the Lynq network, which previously only had a single investment product.Unlike most blockchain-based fund products on Wall Street, FTIXX has not been tokenized. BlackRock's BUIDL is a tokenized fund, and Franklin Templeton offers tokenized shares of money market funds through BENJI, while Goldman Sachs retains the traditional fund format of FTIXX, with Lynq opening new access channels for digital asset companies. Lynq CEO Jerald David stated that there is a convergence occurring between traditional market participants and digital asset market participants.For institutions using Lynq, FTIXX provides a place to store cash and earn returns during trading gaps, redeemable when needed. David mentioned that clients have been looking for government bond assets on the platform that offer yields different from existing tools. Lynq's partners include B2C2, Wintermute, Galaxy, FalconX, Crypto.com, and Fireblocks. The network operates on a private permissioned Avalanche Layer 1 blockchain and has connected over 30 institutional digital asset companies, with assets exceeding $89 million.

According to Bitcoin Magazine, Bitcoin software provider Breez announced that applications built on its Breez SDK now support users receiving stablecoin payments from over 30 networks using their Bitcoin balance.Breez stated that after the recipient selects the network and amount of the payer, the SDK generates a deposit address and displays the amount received, while the payer pays from their wallet as usual; Flashnet completes the exchange in the background, and the funds ultimately enter the recipient's non-custodial wallet in the form of Bitcoin, or in the form of USD if the stable balance feature is used.In June of this year, Breez launched the ability to send USDT/USDC, allowing a single Breez-powered balance to transfer stablecoins bi-directionally across almost all networks. This update is the latest in a series of usability upgrades, following the rollout of features such as Passkey login, Cash App instant account opening, and stable balance. Breez also launched a reference application called Glow in August to showcase the capabilities of the SDK.The Breez SDK is a developer toolkit that allows applications to add Bitcoin payments without having to build their own payment infrastructure, covering wallet creation, sending and receiving, and Lightning Network payments. Developers can provide Bitcoin functionality with minimal code, without needing to run nodes or manage liquidity.In July of this year, Breez announced a partnership with Turnkey, allowing developers to add non-custodial Bitcoin support to wallet applications running on their own servers.

At that time, the attacker's address was not blacklisted, so it could still trade on ThorChain.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Division of Corporation Finance updated its frequently asked questions document on cryptocurrency assets on Friday, clarifying that token buybacks, network upgrades, and marketing promotions do not automatically make cryptocurrency assets securities. The division stated that announcing a buyback plan for an already functioning cryptocurrency network does not, by itself, make the associated tokens constitute an investment contract; however, for networks that are not yet operational, if the issuer promotes the buyback as a source of returns for holders, this conclusion may not necessarily apply.Regarding the ongoing development issues of cryptocurrency projects after their launch, the document pointed out that once a cryptocurrency system is operational, services used to protect, maintain, improve, or enhance that system and its functions, or to promote network effects, do not fall under the managerial efforts referred to in the Howey test. The existing uses of marketing networks generally do not create profit expectations, and statements regarding future functionalities are similarly true, provided that profit potential is not promoted. The document reiterated that specific judgments still heavily depend on the actual circumstances of each case.This document is based on the interpretive guidance issued by the SEC in March of this year regarding the application of securities laws to cryptocurrency assets, released just weeks after the Clarity Act failed to advance in the Senate, with regulators continuing to operate under existing laws. Additionally, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission updated its cryptocurrency FAQs on Thursday, stating that futures companies and clearinghouses may invest customer funds in tokenized versions of previously permitted assets, provided that investment and custody requirements are met; regulated companies may use blockchain for record-keeping but must be able to provide relevant records when the blockchain or its block explorer is not operational.
