Strategys STRC plan could bring 365 dividend record dates – Details

After making a comeback by adding more Bitcoin [BTC] to its treasury, Michael Saylors Strategy is proposing to change how dividends are accrued and paid on its preferred securities—STRF, STRC, STRK, and STRD.  With this change, Strategy wants to move from monthly, semi-monthly, or quarterly dividend schedules to a system where the dividend accrues every calendar day, including Saturdays, Sundays, and U.S. market holidays.  The accumulated amount would then be paid on the next business day, which Strategy refers to as the next evolution of its “digital credit” products.  What is this proposal all about?  Additionally, the proposal aims to make Strategys preferred securities more like liquid cash/yield instruments by using daily dividend accruals to reduce price volatility, improve liquidity, and potentially boost demand.  For STRC, Strategy aims to keep the price near its $100 par value through share sales above $100 and buybacks below $100.  This came after the company shifted from monthly to semi-monthly dividends, which reduced ex-dividend price drops from 49 to 36 basis points. And further expects daily accruals could further reduce volatility, though this is not guaranteed.  However, if at all this happens, STRC would move from 24 record dates a year to 365, or 366 in leap years, while STRF, STRK,

Grayscale Files for Zcash Income ETF With Planned Biweekly Payouts

Key TakeawaysGrayscale filed the proposed ZCSH High Income ETF on Sept. 25.The fund intends to make distributions every two weeks.Selling call options could limit its gains during a zcash rally.  New Fund Would Use Options on Grayscales Zcash ETF  Investors seeking income tied to zcash could get a new exchange-traded fund if Grayscales proposal moves forward. In a prospectus filed Sept. 25, the asset manager outlined the ZCSH High Income ETF, which would trade options linked to zcash exchange-traded products (ETPs) and aim to make distributions every two weeks.  The proposed fund is separate from Grayscale‘s existing zcash ETF, which trades under the ticker ZCSH and holds ZEC. The income fund’s prospectus lists its ticker and exchange as pending. Its investors would own shares in a fund using options rather than shares in the existing ZCSH product or ZEC itself.  The proposal follows the Aug. 25 launch of ZCSH on NYSE Arca. Options on its shares began trading Sept. 8, according to the new filing. Grayscale plans to use those contracts to build the income funds exposure, giving the proposal a different purpose from the ETF that holds zcash.

Aaves RWA footprint expands as commodity deposits hit $133M

The broader DeFi presence around AAVE strengthened as founder Stani Kulechov supplied another $4.77 million in AAVE liquidity to the Uniswap decentralized exchange.  This supply introduced deeper market liquidity as AAVE continued recovering from its June local low around the $58 demand zone.  Beyond Kulechovs liquidity deployment, another development reinforced the ecosystem outlook.  Reportedly, tokenized commodities deposited across DeFi reached $133.3 million, with Aave holding $51.3 million across V2, V3, and V4.  Combined, Aave and Uniswap represented around 86% of those reported tokenized commodity deposits.  The concentration reflected Aaves expanding role as tokenized real-world assets continued expanding across the decentralized platforms.  This stronger ecosystem activity, however, emerged as the token approached a critical technical zone after its substantial price recovery.  Hence, whether ecosystem demand could absorb additional available supply therefore became increasingly significant for the next price leg.  Rising reserves test AAVE demand  Contrastingly, the supply conditions provided a clear counterweight to the improving fundamental backdrop.  According to CryptoQuant, AAVE exchange reserves jumped 7.59%, bringing the total dollar-denominated value held across exchange wallets to approximately $415.2 million in 24 hours.  Generally, higher exchange availability usually increases potential selling pressure in case holders move toward realizing gains from the price recovery.  That selling pressure concern carried additional relevance after the token climbed approximately

Grayscale Files ZCSH High Income Zcash ETF

Grayscale filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 25 to register the ZCSH High Income ETF, an actively managed fund designed to earn income by trading options on Zcash exchange-traded products rather than buying the privacy coin directly. In a post-effective amendment to its Form N-1A registration statement, Grayscale Funds Trust proposes that the filing take effect 75 days after submission, around early December, and the prospectus does not yet assign a ticker or an exchange.  A synthetic covered-call strategy on Zcash funds  The fund seeks current income while keeping prospects for capital appreciation through a synthetic covered-call strategy built on ZEC exchange-traded products, primarily The Zcash ETF (ticker: ZCSH). The filing says the fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in options contracts that use a Zcash exchange-traded product as the reference asset, valuing each derivative at its notional amount. It plans to write, or sell, call options to collect premiums, while pairing bought calls with sold puts to replicate the underlying funds price movements. The 80% policy is non-fundamental and can be changed with at least 60 days of written notice.  Indirect exposure, no direct ZEC holdings  The

OpenAI and Anthropic discover AI safety incidents on a scale far beyond what theyve disclosed

OpenAI and Anthropic are investigating tens of thousands of cases where frontier AI systems acted in ways outside reviewers could consider unsafe or unauthorized.  All of these cases happened during recent internal tests and field use, Axios reports, and many of them are still being investigated and are not yet out in the open.  Behavior reported in these cases ranges from models overcoming safety measures, creating their own message boards, breaking out of sandboxing environments, controlling websites, developing their own prompts, and attempting to circumvent monitoring tools.  Some of these cases come from red teaming, where researchers try to make models do something undesirable on purpose in order to uncover any weaknesses.  Discover more  NEWS  Crypto trading course  Choose POS Systems  Other cases occurred during regular usage. The number of such incidents is vastly greater than anything that has been made public to date.  At this point, companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and others are facing the same challenge: people are putting constraints on systems which are capable of pursuing an objective despite the constraints hindering them in some way.

XRP Community Takes Center Stage in Evernorth's Nasdaq Plans

Key TakeawaysEvernorth plans apparel and a public campaign featuring XRP community members.The company hopes to mark its proposed Nasdaq debut with a Times Square event.Armada shareholders are scheduled to vote on the merger Sept. 30.  Evernorth Puts XRP Supporters in Its Listing Plans  XRP supporters could have a visible role in Evernorths proposed Nasdaq debut. In a Sept. 23 blog post, founder and CEO Asheesh Birla said the XRP treasury company plans to bring community members into a campaign leading up to its expected listing under XRPN. The plans include apparel, a story released in chapters, and a possible finale in Times Square.  Birla framed the campaign as recognition for people who continued building tools, answering newcomers‘ questions, and supporting XRP during difficult periods. “The list is missing you,” he wrote after describing the usual technical explanations for XRP’s appeal. His argument is that a community built over more than a decade is harder to replicate than fast settlement or low transaction costs.  The post also points to XRP holders‘ participation in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s case against Ripple. Birla cited attorney John Deaton‘s account that he submitted roughly 3,800 holder affidavits. The long-running XRP legal dispute gives that reference its context: holders

NEAR Price Prediction: Overbought and Stalling — The $5.20 Wall Will Define the Next 30 Days

Rebeca Moen  Sep 26, 2026 09:27 UTC  NEAR has ripped 6.74% into deeply overbought territory, but with momentum flatlined at the MACD zero line and the Bollinger upper band looming at $5.27, the immediate path likely runs through a res…  NEARs Breakout Is Real, But the Oxygen Is Getting Thin  NEAR Protocol is printing a clean breakout on the surface — up 6.74% in 24 hours, trading at $4.85 with a session high of $5.21, and sitting comfortably above every major moving average on the board. The structural trend is undeniably bullish. Price has cleared its 7-day, 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day simple moving averages by significant margins, confirming this isnt a low-conviction drift higher — its a coordinated, momentum-driven move. Volume on Binance spot hit $260 million in a single session, which tells you real participation is behind this, not just algorithmic noise.  But here‘s where experienced traders need to pump the brakes on the euphoria: NEAR has entered the danger zone. The price is squeezed between $4.85 and the immediate resistance cluster at $5.20–$5.27, which happens to coincide almost perfectly with the Bollinger Band upper boundary. That’s not a coincidence — that‘s a compression point where the crowd’s excitement and the market‘s structure are

Coinbases Brian Armstrong still thinks Bitcoin will hit $400,000 in 4 years

Coinbase Global (NASDAQ: COIN) CEO Brian Armstrong still sees a path for Bitcoin to reach $400,000 by 2030. Brian repeated the forecast during a September 19 interview with MoneyRehabPodcast. His view is built around Bitcoins past market cycles. The network cuts the amount of new BTC entering circulation about once every four years.  Previous halving periods have often been followed by sharp price runs, then major pullbacks that can drag on for close to a year. Brian said another similar cycle could take Bitcoin to around three times its previous record price before 2030.  Brian said the estimate depends on Bitcoin behaving in a way that resembles earlier cycles. He also made clear that earlier price action cannot tell investors exactly what comes next. The target is therefore a possible outcome, not a fixed forecast.  Coinbase shares were priced at $198.85 on Pluang at 16:01 WIB on September 25, down 0.18% over 24 hours. The crypto exchange had a market value of $52.27 billion, while COINs 52-week trading range stood between $141.09 and $387.27.  Coinbase adds fixed Bitcoin loans while ETF buyers pour $2.4 billion into the market  Coinbase has also expanded its lending business with fixed-rate USDC loans backed by Bitcoin.

XLM Price Prediction: Bulls Stall at the Wall — $0.23 Breakout or Hard Reversal to $0.19?

Caroline Bishop  Sep 26, 2026 09:20 UTC  Stellar is pinned at its upper Bollinger Band with smart money overwhelmingly positioned long and open interest surging 7%, but taker flow is turning against buyers in real time — a confirmed break…  Stellar Is Pressing on a Ceiling With Fading Fuel  XLM is doing exactly what it should do after a clean recovery off multi-month lows — it‘s running straight into a wall. Trading at $0.22 as of 08:00 UTC on September 26, 2026, Stellar has clawed back above every meaningful moving average on the daily chart and is now pressing against immediate resistance at the same price it currently trades. That’s not a coincidence — its a squeeze point.  The 24-hour range of $0.21–$0.23 tells the whole story in miniature: buyers are pushing, sellers are defending, and neither side has landed a decisive blow. The flat price change of +0.32% over 24 hours looks sleepy on the surface, but the $33.4 million in Binance spot volume and a nearly 7% spike in open interest suggest this is anything but a dull consolidation. Something is being decided right now, and traders on Blockchain.news tracking Layer-1 catalysts should be paying attention.  The Chart Is Constructively Bullish — But Momentum

'Provide future qualification path' — Strive challenges MSCI proposal to exclude Bitcoin treasuries

Strive, the fifth-largest Bitcoin treasury, has put forth a strong and critical case against MSCIs proposal to axe crypto treasuries from the global index.  In its feedback on the proposal, Strive acknowledged the 2026 framework as a “material improvement” over the 2025 one (which directly targeted crypto treasuries for exclusion).  The current proposal asks a better question: when does a public corporation cease to be an operating company and become, in economic substance, an investment vehicle? We think MSCI is now asking the right question but has yet to supply a rule capable of answering it.  However, Strive asked MSCI to define the meaning of “operating asset.” The firm insisted that they (BTC treasuries) fit the profile of an “operating company,” citing Strategys digital credit products tied to BTC reserves.  Companies that issue digital credit belong on the operating side of that line. They use balance sheet assets as inputs, apply continuing financial and risk-management processes to them, and produce differentiated financial claims with payment and risk characteristics the underlying assets.  Will MSCI Index keep Bitcoin treasuries?  Strategy‘s list of preferred stocks, including STRC, STRF, STRK, and STRD, earn bi-monthly and quarterly dividends. In fact, there is a proposal to have the last four offer daily
