Our stablecoin dashboard is now live and updating hourly at RWAS<GO> on @TheTerminal. Thanks to @ethanyish and the entire @AlliumLabs team for providing the underlying data!
Stablecoin data is now live on the Bloomberg Terminal at RWAS <GO>, powered by Allium.
The people asking us about stablecoins changed this year. It used to be crypto funds. Now it is treasury teams, payments teams and rates desks. They want to know what settled, where, and whether the number holds up in a memo someone else will read.
Institutions want the same certainty in onchain data they already have in traditional markets. That's been the bet since day one.
Thank you to the team, and to the Bloomberg team for setting the bar.

Crypto buybacks are having a moment. But the headline numbers can be misleading.
$638M has been spent on buybacks YTD, yet HYPE and PUMP buybacks currently represent <2.5% of trading volume.
At that scale, the buybacks matter more for reducing supply than for supporting prices

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.

Our new State of Stablecoins and Payments report is out.
We were going to wait until the end of Q3, but with the CLARITY Act Senate vote here, we're sharing an initial version.
So far in 2026:
Supply: $303 billion, up 6% in a year
Treasury demand: about 58 cents of new demand per dollar of supply (Citizens x Allium estimate)
Payments: at least $401 billion, up 42%. Businesses receive 58% to 64%
Cross-border: 0.31% of fiat payment value, growing 64% against 9% for fiat (FXC Intelligence x Allium estimate)
Agentic payments: 29 million a month on x402, at 6 cents each
Cards: $108 million a month on one issuer, 8x in a year

Solana accounts for 12% of onchain RWA market cap.
But 32% of RWA spot volume.
We worked with @Solana to look beyond assets issued and ask a different question: how are RWAs being used onchain?
Across 12 months of data, we found $14.7B in RWA spot volume on Solana, 43M trades, and a market increasingly defined by smaller, more frequent transactions.
The full report maps 37 issuers across fixed income, private funds, equities, commodities and active strategies -- and looks at where issuance, ownership and trading are actually happening.

Token buybacks are having a record year, and the @FinancialTimes dug into the trend using Allium data.
Crypto projects have spent $638M buying back their own tokens so far this year, up from $545M over the same period last year.
Our Head of Research, @eltoniselton, spoke with the FT about what’s driving the shift and whether buybacks translate into stronger token performance.

Onchain data, now in @perplexity_ai
We’re partnering with Perplexity to bring Allium’s data to Perplexity Computer.
Ask questions like:
→ Where is perps open interest concentrated today?
→ Which stablecoins saw the largest supply changes this week?
→ Which companies are issuing tokenized funds onchain, and how fast is that supply growing?
Perplexity handles the research. Allium provides the onchain data underneath.

I’m excited to announce our $40M Series B, led by @AmplifyPartners with @kleinerperkins, and @Theoryvc.
After knowing each other for 10 years and meeting in our freshman year in college, Cheng Han and I came together in 2021 to solve the massive problem with blockchains - the data was fragmented across hundreds of chains and unusable at scale.
Today, we manage 30+ petabytes of blockchain data that serves as the onchain system of record for institutions like Visa, BCG, and major banks and asset managers.
A lot has changed since our Series A two years ago:
→ Revenue grew 10x
→ 150+ enterprise customers
→ Visa and BCG built their stablecoin dashboards on Allium
→ Data cited by research institutions from the Fed to Stanford
Since we founded Allium 5 years ago, blockchain went from retail speculation to institutional infrastructure for 24/7 settlement, programmable payments, and tokenized assets that trade like equities. Allium went from 3 people in a room to the data layer leading institutions trust to operate onchain.
Thank you to our customers, investors, and especially the Allium team for helping us reach this milestone. It's been an incredible journey so far, and we're excited to continue building the system of record for onchain finance.
A special thank you to @dbeyer123 from Amplify who’s joining our board, @ttunguz @SpencerFarrar @LM_Braswell and everyone who believed in us from the beginning.
And thank you to @bdanweiss and @FortuneMagazine for covering the news! Read more about our announcement:

Cross-chain interoperability moves billions of dollars across crypto every month.
Yet understanding where that value flows and which protocols facilitate it remains difficult.
Today we're launching the Interoperability Dashboard with @LayerZero_Core.
Track:
> Cross-chain volume
> Messages sent
> User activity
> Market share
> Chain-to-chain flows
Across the leading interoperability protocols.
