PANews reported on October 7th that the lending protocol Fluid announced the creation of an on-chain reserve of FLUID tokens to guide its buyback and growth strategy. The team is developing a dedicated buyback and tracking system to determine the optimal percentage of protocol revenue allocated to buybacks. During this period, the DAO will adopt a transitional approach, allocating 100% of Ethereum mainnet revenue to buybacks in the first month (approximately $1.7 million at current levels). Buybacks officially began in the first week of October.


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
