More →GRVT Burns 1.1 Million Tokens as Countdown to Grvt 2.0 Begins
<strong>[PRESS RELEASE – Singapore, Singapore, October 20th, 2026]</strong> <strong>The discretionary buyback represents close to 1% of circulating supply and precedes four planned product milestones culminating in Grvt 2.0.</strong> <a href="https://grvt.io/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">>Grvt</a>, a self-custodial trading platform built on its own zero-knowledge (ZK) chain, announced that the Foundation’s token issuer has completed its first GRVT token buyback, purchasing and burning 1.1 million GRVT tokens on the open market. The transaction permanently removed close to 1% of GRVT’s circulating supply at the time of purchase. It marks the first of five milestones ahead of the planned launch of Grvt 2.0 at the end of November 2026. <strong>A Discretionary Buyback with On-Chain Verification</strong> The Foundation’s token issuer intends to conduct further buybacks on a monthly basis. Each transaction remains entirely at the issuer’s discretion, with no predetermined purchase amount or guaranteed schedule. Buybacks are executed through an independent execution partner, with purchased tokens transferred to a designated burn address and permanently removed from circulation. The transactions can be independently verified through the <a href="https://grvt.io/exchange/buybacks" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">>public buyback dashboard</a>, which records the number of tokens purchased and burned, the percentage of circulating supply represented, cumulative burns and on-chain transaction hashes. “The GRVT token is an important part of the ecosystem we are building,” said <strong>Hong, co-founder and CEO of Grvt</strong>. “We welcome the issuer’s buybacks as a demonstration of its long-term commitment to the ecosystem and community. Grvt is expanding its products and markets, and the issuer’s buybacks sit alongside that as a supportive mechanism aimed at reducing circulating token supply.” <strong>Grvt Outlines Four Product Milestones</strong> The announcement follows GRVT’s token generation event in July 2026 and precedes a series of planned launches. <strong>Grvt Earn, scheduled for the End of October,</strong> will introduce yield opportunities backed by tokenized assets, with target yields of up to 11%. Potential returns are expected to derive from underlying asset cash flows, including interest, premiums and invoice-related income. Asset-supplying partners will be announced at launch. Target yields are not guaranteed. <strong>Stable Funding Perps, scheduled for November,</strong> will introduce perpetual futures linked to commodities, stocks, foreign exchange and indices. The contracts are planned to carry zero trading fees and use once-daily funding. Grvt aims to list more than 1,000 markets by the end of December 2026. <strong>Yield as Margin, also scheduled for November,</strong> will allow eligible Grvt Earn balances to support trading positions while continuing to accrue yield, subject to applicable product terms
OKX and Intercontinental Exchange, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, oppose tokenized stock trading through their joint venture.
According to CoinWorld news, Andrew Cuomo, co-chair of the joint venture between OKX and ICE, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, said that corporate opposition to tokenized stock trading is a normal and expected reaction, and that many companies prefer to wait and see rather than be the first to participate. Currently, 16 companies have objected to the tokenized trading of their shares on the proposed OKXICE platform, including Microsoft, Alphabet, Goldman Sachs, Broadcom, and others. The U.S. SEC previously introduced a five-year innovation exemption allowing eligible platforms to experiment with tokenized stock trading through automated market makers (AMMs) and liquidity pools, and granting issuers the right to opt in or out, with limits on the number of participating stocks and trading volume. Cuomo emphasized that the mechanism is essentially a restricted pilot. Carlos Domingo, CEO of Securitize, noted that issuers are mainly concerned about issues such as pricing, investor protection, and shareholder rights, and that opposition to OKXICE's trading arrangements does not mean opposition to other stock tokenization proposals.

NEAR governance organization opens voting on proposal hsp-029, annual issuance rate to be reduced to 1.6%
According to CoinWorld news, the NEAR governance organization House of Stake has opened voting on proposal hsp-029, which plans to gradually reduce the NEAR token annual issuance rate from 2.5% to 1.6% over 24 months after a 90-day grace period, in order to reduce token dilution. It is estimated that after implementation, approximately 11.8 million NEAR in issuance could be reduced in the first 2 years, with a cumulative reduction of approximately 66.1 million over 6 years. The existing 90:10 allocation ratio between staking rewards and treasury funds remains unchanged. Assuming the staking participation rate remains at 42.71%, the annualized staking yield is expected to drop from 5.268% to 3.372%. The proposal aims to reduce token dilution while taking into account network security and the sustainable operation of validators.
