The Injective Vulcan Mainnet Upgrade proposal is now live for voting.
One chain bringing together stablecoins, tokenized RWAs, and the lowest fees in crypto.
The biggest step yet towards making Injective the settlement layer for all onchain finance.
A deep dive 🧵
OFFICIAL NOTICE FROM INJECTIVE
Today the @CFTC approved the first perpetual contract to list on a registered U.S. exchange. This is a major turning point for the entire industry.
Perpetuals are the most actively traded instruments in crypto, and American participants can finally reach them inside a regulated venue instead of being pushed offshore.
For most of the past decade, the rules sent this market overseas, and liquidity, talent, and builders went with it. Millions of Americans today are being left out of the most important asset class of our lifetimes. Treating perpetuals as a serious financial instrument is the first step toward bringing that activity home.
Injective worked to pioneer decentralized perpetuals and has settled perpetual markets onchain since 2021, powering more than $70 billion in volume through a fully onchain orderbook that anyone can verify in real time.
We laid the groundwork, and we continue to push for more innovation across crypto and for perpetuals to be recognized as a core financial primitive that benefits not just America but the world.
We look forward to engaging further with the Commission as this framework develops and to bringing crypto innovation back onto American shores.
Made in America. Made for innovation. Made for progress 🇺🇸

The Injective Nova Program opening ceremony today alongside Microsoft was a resounding success!
⚒️ Over 1,000 attendees
⚒️ A new legion of devs in Asia building with $INJ
⚒️ The largest Web2 tech companies working with Injective
We're just getting started.
Tokenized U.S. Treasuries have become the anchor of onchain finance.
The category now holds roughly $15 billion, close to half of all distributed RWA value, according to Binance Research as of May 14.
That base is built on the largest names in asset management. BlackRock's $BUIDL, Circle's $USYC, and Franklin Templeton's $BENJI all settle onchain today.
A year ago the category sat near $5 billion. The shift reflects institutional capital choosing programmable settlement over legacy rails.
Injective added native $USDC in May, a regulated dollar backed by short-term Treasuries, giving its RWA markets a settlement asset built with the most regulated stablecoin in the world. Today Injective offers access to Pre-IPO assets, commodities, stocks and more through one unified liquidity layer built for finance.
Onchain Treasuries have moved from experiment to infrastructure as Injective continues to bring every major asset onchain before anyone else.
All powered by $INJ
Today, we are officially introducing The Injective Policy Institute (IPI).
The policy and research arm of Injective will work directly with regulators and lawmakers to advance onchain finance innovation in Washington, D.C. and throughout the United States 🇺🇸
BREAKING: Onchain agents can now pay in $USDC on Injective!
In the demo, an agent uses USDC to trade tokenized $TSLA stock onchain.
Deploy onchain agents for RWA use cases with the simplest UX. The agentic and tokenization economy are coming together.

Tokenization and the Future of U.S. Capital Markets
The way investors access public markets is being rebuilt. Tokenization, once a fringe idea, is becoming core infrastructure, and the implications run well beyond crypto.
Ondo has been building toward this future for years. We launched one of the first and most widely held tokenized Treasury products, and today we bring stocks and ETFs onchain at meaningful scale. Along the way, our goal has been the same: make the financial system more accessible, more efficient, and more useful to the investors it exists to serve.
One of the great strengths of U.S. capital markets is the range of ways investors can gain exposure to the same underlying asset: direct ownership, funds, ETFs, derivatives, structured products. Tokenization is a natural extension of that tradition. Different forms, including “native” and “wrapped”, each have a role to play, and each can expand investor choice without compromising the protections that make these markets trusted in the first place.
For U.S. policymakers, the question to ask of any new development remains: does it serve investors, promote market integrity, and strengthen the U.S. position as the financial capital of the world? We’re optimistic about where this is heading, and ready to keep building.
The Injective X Microsoft Nova program launch is officially imminent.
The program is set to be the largest of its kind to bring a new legion of developers into the Injective ecosystem as we expand our footprint across Asia and beyond.
Tokenization keeps winning.

🇺🇸 The CLARITY Act has cleared the Senate Banking Committee.
Injective has spent years building infrastructure for exactly this moment. We are ready to be one of the only assets to be CLARITY Act compliant from day one.
This is the most significant step U.S. crypto policy has taken in a decade, and it puts onchain finance on a path to legitimate market structure.
The act will define the role of digital assets in the U.S. while creating a new pathway for asset tokenization while enabling a new legion of institutions to participate in the new onchain economy.
Injective is one of the leading American-built protocols in this industry, and one of the few directly positioned to benefit from CLARITY passing. Our team has worked directly with officials across government and the SEC, helping shape the kind of clear guidance crypto needs to thrive in America.
America is set to lead a new wave of crypto adoption once the act passes. Injective is here to build the path forward.
A landmark moment for tokenization.
The CLARITY Act has cleared the Senate Banking Committee, moving the U.S. closer to a clear framework for digital assets.
If signed into law, the CLARITY Act would:
→ Define digital assets in U.S. law
→ Clarify rules for tokenized assets
→ Unlock institutional participation
→ End years of regulatory uncertainty
→ Establish clear SEC and CFTC jurisdiction
The bill now heads to the full Senate, with House reconciliation and Presidential signature to follow.
The U.S. has led global finance for generations. If passed, this bill would help carry that leadership into the next evolution of markets, one defined by tokenization and digital assets.
Injective USDC is coming to @cosmoshub and @dYdX as the canonical stablecoin standard.
One of the largest blockchains and one of the largest perp DEXs in history. Every @USDC on both, will start with Injective USDC.
