When we started @Bastion, we believed stablecoins would become core financial infrastructure. But for the world’s largest enterprises and financial institutions to adopt them, that infrastructure would need to meet the regulatory standards they already expect from their banks.
That meant building compliance, controls and governance into Bastion from the beginning, not adding them after the fact or waiting for others to pave the way.
Today, the OCC granted Bastion preliminary conditional approval for a national trust bank charter, placing us among a small group of companies to reach this stage with the OCC.
That matters because the bar should be high. Stablecoins are becoming part of the financial system, and the infrastructure powering them needs to be built for the regulatory and operational standards that come with that.
Stablecoins are moving into the financial mainstream, but institutional adoption depends on infrastructure that can meet an institutional standard.
We made the decision early to build Bastion for that standard. Today is an important validation of that decision, and we’re just getting started.

We’re excited to share that Primus has been featured on the official @BNBCHAIN Privacy page.
As privacy become increasingly important for the next generation of Web3 applications, we’re proud to be recognized as part of the growing ecosystem building toward a more trustworthy and privacy-preserving future.
A big thank you to the BNB Chain team for the support. More to come.

We’ve been tracking this friction point across our portfolio and the broader infrastructure layer for the last twelve months. Would love to hear from other operators.
@GoKiteAI@Alchemy@primus_labs@ForteProtocol@Fluxai_Ai
Just in the last few months:
Mastercard launched Agent Pay. Alchemy shipped agent infra. Kite pushed delegated identity. Ripple expanded agent tooling.
Yet autonomous agents still aren’t autonomous.
We’re looking at the wrong bottleneck.
The next wave of adoption is going to be driven by software, not speculation. AI agents need purpose-built rails to coordinate and pay each other, and Kite is shipping the full stack to make that happen. Excited to back this vision from day one.
Kite Mainnet is now live.
This is not just another mainnet. It is the first blockchain built for agentic payments.
Designed for an agent-first internet, for builders, and for the future Agent Economy.
What makes Kite Mainnet different:
Built for builders and agents. Not chasing TVL. Not chasing the next DeFi cycle. Not competing for idle speculative capital.
Three layers, one platform:
• Settlement Layer: built for high-frequency, low-value, agent-driven stablecoin-native transactions.
• Kite Agent Passport: unifies identity, delegated authority, and programmable governance.
• Agent Interface & Experience: where agents and developers interact with the system through agent registration, agent harnesses, and service discovery.
A unified hub for all major payment protocol standards, including x402, Google AP2, and Stripe MPP.

Let's build the rails for the Agent Economy.
1/3 The current Web3 landscape:
• Web2 data remains siloed and unreachable.
• Traditional oracles leak your intent to the world.
• Privacy in DApps is currently a forced trade-off between trust and UX.
We deserve better. 🌟
14/ @primus_labs lets you verify and compute any data in web3. Primus uses zkTLS & zkFHE to validate web data and utilize it in an encrypted form.
This brings private, verifiable web data into Ethereum without exposing user details.
@0G_Foundation Outrageous! @bitgetglobal is destroying trust by pushing an unauthorized campaign (no 1M airdrop in contract!) screws the ecosystem and fellow exchanges. Not the 1st time. Sad that this goes to the top and @GracyBitget approved it. #BitgetScam

From Day Zero to Today: Why We Reinvested in Kite AI https://t.co/UJBcKYgxvE
Kite just raised $18M Series A, bringing total funding to $33M. Led by @PayPal, @generalcatalyst, joined by @8vc , @SamsungNext , @Hashed_official, and more. Why we backed them again
In a sea of payments focused agent companies and generic infra, Kite stands out by making verifiable outcomes the core. Agents don't just call APIs; they interact w/ live, tamper-proof data across domains. This shifts the web to agent first, where bots handle trades or logistics
