Crypto Finance, a financial platform under Deutsche Börse Group that provides professional digital asset solutions to institutional clients, has now launched Chainlink's Proof of Reserve. As the first user, nxtAssets now enables on-chain verification of physically-backed Ethereum and Bitcoin exchange-traded products (ETPs) held on Crypto Finance. Chainlink's Proof of Reserve enables investors to independently verify the actual holdings behind the ETPs. This innovation provides investors with additional transparency and security, establishing a new standard of trust in the digital asset market. The setup combines three key roles: nxtAssets issues and manages the ETPs, Crypto Finance provides compliant custody of the underlying assets, and Chainlink provides tamper-proof reserve data on-chain. “Transparency in digital asset markets requires not only regular reporting but also continuously verifiable data,” said Fernando Vazquez, President of Banking and Capital Markets at Chainlink Labs. “By integrating Chainlink’s Proof of Reserves, Crypto Finance demonstrates how a regulated custodian can provide investors with assurance that each product is backed by the underlying assets. Starting with the first two nxtAssets ETPs, this live implementation sets a new benchmark for trust and accountability in the global ETP market, with more products to come.”

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated that PeerDAS, a core feature of the Fusaka upgrade, enables blockchain operations without requiring a single node to download the entire data set. This mechanism verifies block data availability through node sampling and utilizes erasure coding to recover missing data. While the first version still requires complete data for initial broadcast and data reconstruction, security is maintained with only one honest participant. Vitalik emphasized that security is paramount, and that the number of blobs will be gradually increased in the future to advance Ethereum's scaling efforts on both Layer 1 and Layer 2.

U.S. Treasury prices fell as traders digested divergent signals from Federal Reserve officials this week, which have clouded the path of rate cuts. Yields across all maturities rose by about 3 basis points, with the two-year yield, closely tied to Fed policy expectations, rising to 3.60% in New York on Wednesday. Yields on five-year notes remained stable after an auction that saw yields rise by about 0.3 basis points from pre-sale levels. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said on Tuesday that the central bank must address both labor market slack and upward inflation risks as it weighs future policy. On Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Benson expressed disappointment, saying Powell had yet to clearly lay out a rate cut agenda. "It's been a bit of a tug-of-war, with disagreements within the committee," said Gregory Faranello, head of U.S. interest rate trading and strategy at AmeriVet Securities. Corporate bond issuance, including one from Oracle, also weighed on Treasury bonds. The software maker plans to raise $18 billion in the U.S. investment-grade bond market on Wednesday, its second-largest bond offering of the year.

San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said on Wednesday that she "fully supports" the Fed's decision to cut interest rates last week and said further rate cuts may be needed in the future. "Economic growth, consumer spending, and the labor market have all slowed, while inflation has been lower than expected and remains concentrated in sectors directly exposed to tariffs," Daly said of the Fed's rate cut last week. "Economic risks have shifted, and the time to act is now. Looking ahead, further policy adjustments may be needed to provide the necessary support to the labor market while restoring price stability." However, she added that the Fed's forecasts are not commitments and that its goal remains maximum employment and price stability. Daly had previously said that two 25 basis point rate cuts this year were a reasonable forecast, and she did not update that view on Wednesday.
