Injective Vulcan Mainnet Imminent As $INJ Fund Goes Live in Asia
@Injective prepares for the immediate deployment of the Vulcan Mainnet upgrade following a 99.72% approval rate from $INJ stakers.
The network overhaul is scheduled for activation later today and focuses on scaling the infrastructure for institutional stablecoins, RWA tokenization, and perpetual futures.
This technical leap facilitates the integration of complex financial primitives as the chain aims to displace legacy settlement systems with its native on-chain orderbook.
In other news, the protocol just announced the launch of the first regulated $INJ Fund (M-INJ) in Asia...
Powered by Merkle Capital, M-INJ will enable investors to hold INJ through a regulated vehicle for the first time.
NEW: The Injective Vulcan Mainnet upgrade proposal is now live.
Our biggest step yet to be the foundational layer for perpetuals, stablecoins & tokenization.
🔮 Next-gen oracle engine
🔵 Canonical USDC
🏛️ New RWA markets
⚡ Lowest fees in crypto
All $INJ stakers can vote now.
Injective's $INJ rips +40% on the week.
At time of writing @injective's price is up some +39% over the past seven days, and +8% on the day.
The move may be driven by @BinanceUS' recent launch of $INJ staking to users in the US specifically.
Perpetuals are going mainstream in America, and they are going onchain. This week the CFTC approved the first perpetual contract to list on a registered U.S. exchange, the instrument Injective helped pioneer years ago. Native USDC is officially live and $INJ now trades on @BinanceUS, so regulated access to Injective is open to American users.

Perps are going mainstream. Injective has been building for this future for years. 🥷
$SUI is a great chain to build on.
But let me tell you what a builder actually gets on $INJ because most people haven't looked closely enough
On SUI you get:
→ Fast transactions
→ Growing DeFi ecosystem
→ Strong gaming and NFT infrastructure
Respect that. Genuinely. 🤝
But on @Injective a builder gets something different entirely:
→ Native onchain orderbook MEV resistant, shared liquidity, ready on day → MultiVM build in EVM or WASM, your choice, same ecosystem
→ Pre-built DeFi modules no liquidity bootstrapping needed
→ Tokenized stocks infrastructure $TSLA, $AAPL already live
→ Pre-IPO perpetuals SpaceX, OpenAI, already tradeable
→ AI agent framework your product can execute trades autonomously
→ RWA infrastructure already used by enterprises across Japan
→ Cross-chain native 23+ networks connected from day one
Most chains make you build everything from scratch.
Injective hands you the infrastructure and says now build something the world hasn't seen.
SUI gives builders a fast road.
INJ gives builders a financial universe and the tools to expand it.
That's not a comparison anymore. That's a different category entirely. 🥷
AI agents are growing fast, but their real value comes when they can take meaningful actions onchain.
That’s what makes @injective Agents interesting for builders.
Developers can register agents, give them on-chain identities, trade through Injective’s order book, set fee recipient addresses, and automate revenue flows directly to their wallets. It goes beyond the usual “AI + crypto” narrative by giving agents real market access and built-in monetization.
Builders can also use tools like the MCP Server, Injective Trader SDK, and INJ/USDT Grid Trader as starting points for creating custom trading agents.
With an on-chain order book, sub-cent costs, no AMM slippage, and infrastructure built for performance, Injective Agents creates a strong foundation for the next wave of autonomous finance apps.

SECOND MAJOR REVEAL
Congressman William Timmons is officially joining the Injective Summit.
@RepTimmons is on the U.S. House Financial Services Subcommittee on Digital Assets and co-authored the NFT Act.
Hear from Rep. Timmons in July during America’s 250th birthday! 🇺🇸
J.P. Morgan Asset Management launched JLTXX on May 13, its second tokenized money market fund, structured to satisfy reserve requirements for stablecoin issuers under the GENIUS Act.
The fund comes from a bank overseeing $4 trillion in assets.
In his April letter, Jamie Dimon called blockchain, stablecoins, and tokenization "a whole new set of competitors" and told shareholders JPMorgan must move faster.
Tokenized treasuries have already crossed $15 billion across the market, and the infrastructure to host institutional capital, including Injective's permissioned RWA stack, is scaling in parallel.
Bank balance sheets are migrating onchain. Injective will lead the way.
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 🇺🇸
🇺🇸 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.
Deposits for $INJ are now open on @BinanceUS, with staking coming soon!
Trading on the INJ/USDT pair will begin on May 14 at 7 a.m. EDT.
@injective is an L1 blockchain built for finance and supports an ecosystem of projects spanning DeFi, RWAs, prediction markets, and AI apps.
