According to the filing, submitted on February 13, 2026 (yes, we’re still here in the future, and it’s still weird), the proposed fund would be called the Grayscale Aave Trust ETF. It’ll trade on NYSE Arca under the ticker symbol GAVE, because nothing says “we’re serious about finance” like a ticker that sounds like a sassy retort. The ETF will let you dip your toes into AAVE, the token of the Aave DeFi protocol, without the hassle of actually understanding how it works. Win-win?

DeBridge launched a new system today that lets AI programs make and finish transactions on different blockchain networks. This system, called the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, enables AI to interact directly with multiple blockchains.

In the midst of this financial tempest, Bitcoin’s on-chain metrics are waving red flags like a seasoned matador, suggesting that the asset might be preparing for a bear season. Yes, folks, it seems Bitcoin is about to snuggle up with the bears – and not in a cozy way.

In the latest episode of “CoinShares’s 273 Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report,” it looks like we’re stuck in a four-week streak of net outflows, totaling a staggering $3.74 billion. That’s enough to make even the most stoic investor shed a tear! Bitcoin alone took a hit with $133 million walking out the door, and Ethereum didn’t fare much better at $85.1 million. But hold your horses-XRP and Solana decided to have their own little party, pulling in $33.4 million and $31 million, respectively. Who needs a friend when you can just hang out with your altcoin buddies?

Claver, ever the optimist, claims his unwavering faith in XRP is firmly rooted in the anticipated explosion of tokenized assets, institutional blockchain adoption, and the intricate web of cross-border payment infrastructure. He gestures dramatically, as if he were unveiling the next great novel, to ongoing discussions among major financial institutions that suggest tokenization and on-chain settlements could eventually make XRP as popular as a towel in a hitchhiker’s backpack. According to Claver, achieving large-scale adoption requires liquidity, custody solutions, and regulatory clarity-things that take years to develop, much like the plot of a particularly convoluted sci-fi series.

According to some rather impressive on-chain data, the transaction density per ledger has been increasing gradually since the middle of January, before ultimately deciding to settle at higher levels, much like an indecisive houseguest who finally chooses a chair. More transactions per ledger typically indicate that settlement flows are buzzing with activity, as if they were lively dinner conversations, and that the network is being used more frequently for payments, transfers, and liquidity-like a well-worn path to the buffet table.

It had been a delightful anticipation trail leading up to the mainnet unveiling; promised utility, open wallets, real transactions. Yet, as soon as the curtain lifted, the price, like an over‑eager stagehand, pulled back, leaving troupes of traders bewildered, momentum evaporating, and a supply on display that seemed to have slipped into the spotlight prematurely.

The culprits? Those pesky profit-takers and ETF outflows, with a dash of macro risk aversion thrown in for good measure. Yet, the old chap remains perched comfortably above the $54,900 realized price, like a cat on a windowsill, smug in its profitability.

The crypto market appears to be having a case of the Mondays, holding its breath despite U.S. equity futures rising by about 0.25% since the clock struck midnight UTC. A curious sight indeed!

According to them, there is little prospect for recovery before April.
