PANews reported on January 10th that the stablecoin protocol STBL released its Q1 2026 roadmap. Its core objective is to shift from infrastructure development to application deployment, activating USST as a productive asset that can be used for lending and yield generation. Key points include:
In January, USST will be deployed on the mainnet, integrating Hypernative for an automated anchoring mechanism and launching DeFi lending functionality;
In February, liquidity will be injected and RWA collateral will be expanded, and an ecosystem-specific stablecoin (ESS) structure will be deployed on the testnet;
In March, plans are in place to extend native USST minting to other high-performance chains such as Solana and Stellar, and to release a simplified interface for the STBL DApp.



BitGo’s move creates further competition in a burgeoning European crypto market that is expected to generate $26 billion revenue this year, according to one estimate. BitGo, a digital asset infrastructure company with more than $100 billion in assets under custody, has received an extension of its license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), enabling it to offer crypto services to European investors. The company said its local subsidiary, BitGo Europe, can now provide custody, staking, transfer, and trading services. Institutional clients will also have access to an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and multiple liquidity venues.The extension builds on BitGo’s previous Markets-in-Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, also issued by BaFIN, and adds trading to the existing custody, transfer and staking services. BitGo acquired its initial MiCA license in May 2025, which allowed it to offer certain services to traditional institutions and crypto native companies in the European Union.Read more
