According to The Block, banking giant BNY will adopt the validator infrastructure of staking service provider Figment to support its staking business. Eligible institutional clients can stake assets within the platform through BNY's existing digital asset custody services.Figment stated that BNY's staking clients include asset management companies, ETF issuers, corporations, and wealth management institutions. Qualified clients can earn staking rewards on supported assets on the platform. A Figment spokesperson told The Block that ETH will be supported initially, followed by an expansion to SOL, although no specific launch date has been announced.Ralf Roth, head of BNY's digital asset custody, stated that as institutional participation in staking increases, the focus is shifting from whether staking can be accessed to how staking is delivered. Providing staking services in a trusted custody framework with Figment allows institutions to have more confidence in their participation methods and meets their standards for security, oversight, and accountability.Josh Deems, head of revenue at Figment, stated that Figment is bringing its validator infrastructure and staking experience to BNY's digital asset custody platform, providing institutional clients with another way to participate in staking within existing platforms and service processes.BNY launched its digital asset custody services in October 2022, initially accepting Bitcoin and Ethereum from a limited number of clients. Last month, BNY expanded its custody agreement with Ripple to cover XRP and RLUSD, and plans to allow BNY clients to mint and redeem RLUSD through the bank.Coinbase Prime integrated Figment's Ethereum staking services in early 2024, and when the two announced an expansion to networks such as Solana, Cardano, and Sui in October 2025, they stated that the partnership had facilitated over $2 billion in asset staking. Figment claims it has provided staking services to over 1,500 institutions, including asset management companies, custodians, exchanges, and wallets.

Coinbase's EU policy head Roeland Van der Stappen stated that the EU's efforts to tighten regulation on DeFi may push crypto users towards platforms with less investor protection. He told Cointelegraph that regulated crypto platforms might limit or even eliminate access to DeFi services as a result. He mentioned that rules aimed at protecting investors will ultimately push activities towards the least protected areas.In September, the European Securities and Markets Authority, in response to the EU Commission's MiCA consultation, suggested establishing a new category of regulated crypto services for companies providing access to DeFi protocols for customers. The European Banking Authority urged the Commission to explore new regulations for crypto lending that include suitability testing as one of the options. Van der Stappen noted that extending such tests to other DeFi services could treat simple stablecoin exchanges and leveraged lending equally, despite the different risks involved; lending, liquidity provision, and on-chain exchanges would be the most affected activities.He warned that restricting access through regulated platforms could fragment DeFi liquidity into smaller pools, resulting in worse trading prices for EU users and fostering isolated "walled garden" services that direct users towards providers outside the EU with less protection. An Adan-Ipsos survey in 2026 showed that 49% of French crypto buyers preferred accessing DeFi through exchanges, while 14% preferred personal wallets. Chainalysis reported that the slight decline in crypto activity in Germany was mainly due to reduced activity on decentralized exchanges; overall crypto activity in the EU grew by 2.2% in the 12 months leading up to June 2026.

The draft of South Korea's "Basic Law on Digital Assets," expected to be announced this month, will propose that a bank-led consortium be responsible for issuing the Korean won stablecoin. However, even if banks are responsible for issuance, exchanges and third-party payment platforms may still take on the circulation link connecting consumers and merchants, making user entry points and application scenarios key to competition.It is reported that the business integration between Upbit's operator Dunamu and Naver Financial could become an important variable. If related services are approved for integration, Dunamu could generate revenue through stablecoin transactions, while Naver Financial is expected to collect fees through merchant payments and settlements. A representative from South Korea's financial regulatory authorities pointed out that if stablecoins are used for electronic payments, related businesses may need to comply with the "Electronic Financial Transactions Act," and clarify obligations regarding the protection of recharged funds and settlement funds, transaction information management, and dispute resolution.

According to screenshots circulating on social platform X, the official X account of the digital asset trading platform Websea once posted an accusatory tweet, publicly accusing the company's owner and CEO of withholding employee salaries and reimbursements, which was later deleted.The content of the screenshot shows that the poster claims employees have dedicated time and effort to the company but have not received basic salaries and work reimbursements, and alleges that the company has seemingly stopped normal operations, with management failing to provide a clear payment arrangement. The poster demands that the owner and CEO of Websea respond directly to the issues of unpaid salaries and reimbursements, publish a clear and credible payment schedule, and settle all outstanding employee payments as soon as possible, while also calling for industry attention to this matter.

Joe Flanagan, co-founder of the on-chain asset management platform Maple, announced his decision to leave Maple. He stated that Maple has been the center of his life for the past seven years, and leading and building this company has been his full commitment. His partnership with co-founder Sid Powell has lasted nearly a decade, during which they built a business that he has always been proud of. Over time, their views on strategy, leadership style, and life orientation have gradually diverged, and these differences are no longer beneficial to the team or the business. He believes it is more appropriate for one co-founder to continue leading Maple forward than to allow these differences to persist and widen.Joe Flanagan stated that as a co-founder, he needs to agree with the decisions he has participated in, the direction he asks others to follow, and the choices for which he still needs to be responsible. He mentioned that he can no longer continue to do so with conviction and loyalty to his own values, and therefore chose to leave rather than continue to support a direction he cannot agree with. He will assist with the transition for the remainder of this year and provide support as requested by Sid and the team, after which he will no longer participate in Maple. He also stated that he has not left the industry and is currently formulating his next steps, which he will share more about soon. Maple officially confirmed that Joe Flanagan will step down as chairman and leave the company, describing this as an orderly transition agreed upon by both parties, with the company's direction remaining unchanged; since 2019, he has helped Maple expand its managed assets to $4.8 billion and its loan issuance to $20 billion.

According to The Block, OKX and the New York Stock Exchange's parent company Intercontinental Exchange's joint venture OKXICE plan to launch a tokenized securities trading platform on November 23, applicable to the five-year innovation exemption from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).The two companies stated that they have currently confirmed 70 assets from issuers such as Coinbase, Circle, and Robinhood, as well as 59 exchange-traded funds. U.S. customers who complete the account opening process and hold a CeDeFi wallet can use the platform.The report noted that as of the documents dated November 5, 67 companies have chosen not to allow their stocks to be traded in a tokenized manner on the platform, including Meta, Tesla, and Netflix.

This week, the New York Stock Exchange chose Avalanche to provide infrastructure for its upcoming tokenized securities platform. On Monday, Ava Labs announced that Avalanche will serve as the "core ledger technology" for the tokenized securities platform being developed by the NYSE's parent company, Intercontinental Exchange. The product is designed to support 24/7 trading, clearing, and settlement of tokenized securities, pending regulatory approval.Market maker GSR research analyst Carlos Guzman stated that this is a "significant victory for the project," as the NYSE's choice of its technology for settlement greatly enhances institutional credibility and validates the value that blockchain technology brings to traditional financial infrastructure through instant settlement and programmability. Luther Maday, North America head of crypto payment company Mercuryo, mentioned that this decision was made after approximately a year of testing on Avalanche, indicating that the network has passed tests for performance, reliability, and control.Experts also remind that providing infrastructure does not necessarily mean the long-term value of the AVAX token will rise. Guzman pointed out that while the NYSE will use Avalanche infrastructure for clearing and settlement, actual transactions will still occur off-chain, with related activities running on dedicated infrastructure rather than the public C-Chain that carries most of the network's activities. Misha Putiatin, founder of Symbiotic, stated that the main challenge for Avalanche is whether it can achieve "value capture" that is difficult for other blockchains. According to Decrypt data, AVAX rose 3.6% in the past 24 hours to $8.64.
