Ripple said on June 10 that it is adding XRP and Ripple USD (RLUSD) to the x402 payment system through a new developer toolkit described as a Phase 1 rollout. The update makes XRP Ledger settlement available in x402 via partner t54, but Ripple did not disclose transaction volumes or identify any large customers tied to the launch.

TAO, Bittensor's native token, rose from about $210 to $261.64 within 24 hours on June 13, up over 23%, with spot volume climbing 91% to $280 million. The move followed a U.S. Commerce Department order that cut foreign nationals off from Anthropic's two most advanced models, Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5. TAO's seven-day return reached 35.8%, while market capitalization was reported at $2.88 billion.

VanEck is pitching its spot BNB ETF (VBNB) as a product tied to BNB Chain's measurable on-chain usage rather than a simple crypto beta trade. The fund launched on Nasdaq on May 28, 2026, and is reported to have about $2 million in AUM with a 0.39% sponsor fee, while VanEck cites 33 million monthly active users, 2.1 million daily active users, and roughly $160 million in annual revenue for the network.

Zcash co-creator Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn said this week that Anthropic ran a full security review of the Zcash protocol using its restricted Mythos model and found no additional critical vulnerabilities. The post followed public disclosure of an Orchard shielded-pool soundness bug on June 4 and 5 that coincided with a sharp ZEC selloff. As of June 13, ZEC was trading around $411 to $416, after NU6.2 patched the issue and work continued toward the Ironwood upgrade targeted for late July 2026.

XRP traded largely sideways on Tuesday, with the token up nearly 1.5% over the past seven days as broader crypto sentiment stayed weak after heavy selling. Several analysts said the pullback could represent an accumulation phase, outlining zones from $1–$0.60 and longer-term upside scenarios ranging from $5–$10 to $15–$18 and even $8, $13, and $27. At press time, XRP changed hands at $1.14, up 0.96% over the last 24 hours.

Tokenization activity is increasingly landing on Solana, including Exodus Markets’ rollout of more than 200 tokenized stocks, ETFs, and RWAs, plus plans to bring Securitize’s tokenized AAA CLO fund to the network alongside a proposed $250 million allocation from Ethena. At the same time, SOL remains below $100 and has been in a broader downtrend for nearly eight months, highlighting a gap between on-chain adoption and price performance.

On June 12, Zcash founder Zooko Wilcox-O’Hearn said Anthropic’s AI-based Mythos review did not surface additional serious vulnerabilities in the Zcash protocol. The update follows a disclosure of a four-year Orchard shielded-pool bug that could have enabled unlimited counterfeit ZEC, after which ZEC slid about 53% and later traded near $415 with a market cap above $6.94 billion. Zcash developers say the flaw has been patched and have also outlined the Ironwood proposal to further isolate any potentially counterfeit coins.

Internet Computer continues to trade around $2.5 after spending nearly two years in a steep descending channel, even as its on-chain activity accelerates. The network is processing about 6.7K TPS and logged roughly 75.7 billion transactions over the past 180 days, but technical structure still points to a bearish bias. A sustained push above $3.00 could shift momentum toward $4.00–$4.50, while a drop below $2.20–$2.30 may put $1.80–$2.00 in focus.
