Falcon Finance Launches Miles Program to Reward DeFi Users of the Synthetic Dollar Economy
Falcon Finance, a next-generation synthetic dollar protocol, has launched the Pilot Season of Falcon Miles. This DeFi-native rewards program supports the onchain growth of USDf by incentivizing users who contribute to liquidity and participate in Falcon's DeFi activity.
The Miles program now covers three reward tracks: liquidity provisioning, yield tokenization and lending markets. It is designed to align long-term incentives with meaningful protocol activity.
Participants can earn Miles by:
Supplying USDf liquidity on leading DEXs including Uniswap v3, Curve, Balancer, PancakeSwap, and Bunni
Putting USDf or sUSDf to work in protocols like Pendle, Morpho, Spectra, Napier, and Euler via yield tokenization and money markets
Inviting others to engage with the Falcon app and contribute to its ecosystem growth
This marks a milestone for synthetic dollar ecosystems. Falcon is among the first protocols to unify rewards across DeFi liquidity, lending, and yield platforms, creating a system that ties real onchain activity to long-term value.
The Miles program is designed to reward meaningful participation across DeFi. Users earn a minimum of 1 Mile for every $1 of eligible activity, with multipliers ranging from 6x to 72x for high-impact actions like providing liquidity or engaging in lending and yield tokenization strategies.
Whether users mint USDf, stake sUSDf, or hold it after acquiring from DEXs or centralized exchanges like Bitfinex and WOO X, every DeFi interaction contributes to their Miles balance. A dedicated dashboard in the Falcon App updates daily, allowing users to track rewards and view applicable multipliers in real time.
The Pilot Season sets the foundation for broader expansion. Phase 2 will introduce more DeFi integrations and reward paths as Falcon continues to scale the synthetic dollar economy.

Harbour Industrial Capital Invests headline .2 M into Four High-Growth Polkadot Ecosystem Projects
HIC's Fund II backs Mandala, Xcavate, Kylix and Hyperbridge to scale DeFi, RWAs and cross-chain interoperability Hong Kong and Cayman Islands - July 29, 2025 - Harbour Industrial Capital (HIC), a leading investment firm focused exclusively on the Polkadot Ecosystem, announced a bodyXhtml .2 million USD investment across four high-impact ventures: Mandala Chain, Kylix Finance, Xcavate and Hyperbridge. This strategic deployment underscores Harbour Industrial Capital's long-term commitment to advancing decentralised finance (DeFi), tokenisation of real world assets (RWA) and cross-chain interoperability within the Polkadot network 'Polkadot is already the most advanced place to build Web3 applications,' explained the firm's CEO, Max Rebol. ""With the upcoming Polkadot Hub upgrade and the rollout of JAM, it will become even more apparent. While many funds have yet to catch on, we're proud to lead from the front.' Through its Fund II, Harbour Industrial Capital is taking a position at the center of the Polkadot ecosystem, and will continue to actively deploy capital throughout 2025. Mandala Chain: Building Scalable Country Chains Mandala Chain is developing a high-performance, scalable blockchain infrastructure in Indonesia and beyond, tailored for local enterprise and government adoption applications. Harbour Industrial Capital's funding will accelerate Mandala Chain's roadmap and regional expansion, including the deployment of its mainnet and partnerships with key industry players. 'Mandala is reshaping digital infrastructure across identity, medical records, financial services, asset tokenization, and logistics. Backed by strong partnerships with government entities, financial institutions, and leading enterprises, Mandala is well-positioned to onboard the first 100 million users in Indonesia and scale its impact beyond national borders,' said Mario Altenburger, CIO of Harbour Industrial Capital. Michael Bennallack, co-founder of Mandala Chain, added: 'HIC was our first external supporter, believing in the Mandala Chain vision since day one. We are grateful to Max and Mario for backing a technology that can drive meaningful change in emerging markets.' Xcavate: Unlocking Tokenised Real Estate Xcavate is leveraging Polkadot's infrastructure to bring fractional real estate investment to life, starting with the UK market.. 'Real estate is long overdue for disruption,' said Max Rebol, CEO of Harbour Industrial Capital. 'The real estate industry suffers from inefficiencies, misaligned incentives, and operational complexities. Xcavate's team brings the right domain expertise and blockchain fluency to lead that change.' Richard Houldsworth, Co-Founder and CTO of Xcavate, said: 'This early-stage investment from HIC has been a crucial driver to allow us to move the Xcavate project forward and meet our goal of a Q3 2025 mainnet launch and token generation event.' Kylix Finance: Empowering Decentralised Lending Kylix Finance is revolutionising DeFi with its new cross-chain lending and borrowing protocol, designed to enable seamless access to native liquidity across multiple blockchains. Built for chain-abstraction and native cross-chain interoperability, Kylix eliminates the need for wrapped assets or bridges, creating a new era of secure, capital-efficient lending. Harbour Industrial Capital's investment will support the continued expansion of the Kylix protocol and integration with additional blockchains. 'Polkadot which is built for interoperability from the ground up is arguably the best place to host a cross-chain lending market, and Kylix Finance's innovative approach aligns perfectly with our vision for a more interconnected financial ecosystem centered around Polkadot.' said Max Rebol, CEO of Harbour Industrial Capital. Gianluigi Davassi, CEO of Kylix Finance, shared: 'We're not just building another lending protocol, we're building the foundation for a cross-chain DeFi layer that connects ecosystems. The support of Harbour Industrial Capital is a critical milestone: Their deep understanding of Polkadot's vision for interoperability gives us the strategic edge to scale faster, expand into new markets, and continue pushing the boundaries of what's possible in decentralised finance.' Hyperbridge: Enabling Next Generation Bridging Hyperbridge, a next-generation cross-chain bridging technology, enables secure and efficient asset transfers between independent blockchain networks, including the Ethereum L2s. Harbour Industrial Capital's investment will support Hyperbridge's efforts to enhance its protocol and improve bridge liquidity. Max Rebol, CEO of Harbour Industrial Capital, explained his investment thesis, 'I still remember the high-profile bridge hacks of 2022 and 2023, where hundreds of millions in user funds were stolen. Hyperbridge on the other hand is a next generation bridge, and rather than relying on a few multisigs, user funds are underwritten by the cryptoeconomic security of the entire Polkadot network'. Seun Lanlege, co-founder of Polytope Labs, the developer of Hyperbridge, commented on HIC's investments: 'We feel lucky to have a partner like HIC that believes in our mission and trusts us to deliver. Preserving users' funds is dependent on secure interoperability; this is the promise we have delivered on and continue to iterate upon.'

(Nasdaq: FGF, FGFPP) (the 'Company' or 'Fundamental Global') today announced the pricing and signing of a private placement for the purchase and sale of 40,000,000 prefunded common stock warrants at a price of $5.00 (inclusive of the $0.001 exercise price) per warrant for expected aggregate gross proceeds of $200 million before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses (funded in a combination of cash and cryptocurrencies) to launch the Company's Ethereum treasury strategy. Fundamental Global offers investors a capital markets vehicle engineered for Ethereum - the foundation of digital finance and settlement layer for the majority of stablecoins, DeFi, and tokenized assets. The Company's structure aims to provide investors with multiple value drivers beyond ETH price appreciation, including staking rewards that support network security and access to tokenized real-world asset opportunities. With industry leaders bridging Wall Street, Decentralized Finance, and backed by world-class financial and digital assets institutions, the Company is uniquely positioned to help support the rapid adoption of Ethereum by the global financial ecosystem, which already has stablecoins leading the way. Strategic and financial investors participating in the private placement include Galaxy Digital (Nasdaq: GLXY), one of the world's leading digital asset investment firms led by CEO Mike Novogratz. Galaxy will also serve as a strategic advisor to Fundamental Global, managing its Ethereum treasury and providing asset management, yield execution, and infrastructure support. Other strategic investors include Kraken, who will work with FG Nexus strategically on treasury management and staking. The private placement saw participation from top tier global financial institutions as well as Hivemind Capital, Syncracy Capital, Digital Currency Group (DCG), and Kenetic. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering to purchase ETH, which will serve as the Company's primary treasury reserve asset. In addition to its Ethereum treasury and staking strategy, the Company is in a unique position to apply its digital expertise in its merchant banking and reinsurance businesses to fuel the adoption of the Ethereum blockchain in real-world finance. As part of the transformation, the Company will rebrand as FG Nexus Inc., with new ticker symbols FGNX and FGNXP expected to go live shortly. The closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about August 1, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Following the closing of the offering FG Nexus's digital asset strategy will be led by a deeply experienced team: Maja Vujinovic, CEO of Digital Assets, is an early pioneer, investor, and operator in cryptocurrencies, blockchain and AI. She helped shape the industry by acquiring the first bank for Tether and in her role as CIO of Emerging Technologies at GE, where she launched one of the first institutional-grade finance transactions on blockchain in 2015.

Mr. Rosenthal is a Member of the Value Investors Club and a frequent speaker at MOI Global and other forums. Jose Vargas, Head of Business Development, was a seed investor in one of the largest Digital Assets Treasury companies. Mr. Vargas founded and exited 5 companies, including AutoWeb, BlueKite (PayPal), and BrokersWeb. He is a Co-founder and board member of ($1B+ valuation), Osigu, and PeopleFund as well as a seed investor in crypto ventures such as Akash Network. A Leadership Team Bridging Wall Street, DeFi and Web3 Joe Moglia, former Chairman and CEO of TD Ameritrade, will serve as Executive Advisor to FG Nexus, bringing decades of financial leadership and public markets expertise. Said Moglia, 'Throughout my career, I have seen foundational shifts that fundamentally alter global markets. Ethereum is the foundation layer for the next generation of financial services, and I believe that what we are creating at FG Nexus is the most strategic way for investors to not only gain access to ETH, but also participate in the future of the world's fast evolving financial system.' Kyle Cerminara, CEO and Chairman of the Company, stated, 'This marks a pivotal moment in our evolution. FG Nexus will leverage our deep capabilities in merchant banking, reinsurance, and capital markets to unlock the full potential of Ethereum as a reserve asset. We're honored to welcome Joe Moglia in an advisory capacity and thrilled to have Maja, Jose, and Theodore at the helm of our digital asset strategy. This is the future of capital allocation.' Maja Vujinovic, CEO of the Digital Asset division, added, 'Ethereum isn't just infrastructure, it's personal. As CIO of GE, I helped bring Ethereum inside one of the world's largest companies, working with Joseph Lubin, Ethereum co-founder, to explore smart contracts across a variety of business lines. That conviction hasn't changed At FG Nexus, we're building the institutional-grade rails for Ethereum treasuries, secure, transparent, yield-driven. With today marking Ethereum's 10-year anniversary, I am thrilled to be part of the next chapter in a journey that started a decade ago.'

EToro Plans to Tokenize U.S. Stocks on Ethereum in Blockchain Push
Digital trading platform eToro (ETOR) shared plans on Tuesday to tokenized U.S-listed equities on the Ethereum blockchain, joining rivals to move towards blockchain-based marketplaces. The ERC-20 tokens will represent the underlying shares held on eToro and can be redeemed back into traditional stock holdings, according to the press release. The company said the aim is to make equities tradable on-chain and compatible with decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, opening the door to around-the-clock market access. "Our goal is to tokenize every asset on eToro – starting with stocks – enabling our users to move tokenized assets onto the blockchain and from there integrate them into the broader DeFi ecosystem," CEO Yoni Assia said in a statement. "" He said that new crypto regulations like MiCA in Europe and the stablecoin-focused Genius Act in the U.S. "makes the tokenization of real-world assets a new opportunity to create digital assets that are legally backed and regulated." The move will put eToro alongside a growing roster of trading venues that recently introduced tokenized equities. Competitor Robinhood announced its stock token trading for European users last month, while several crypto exchanges including Kraken, Gemini, Bybit also debuted similar features. EToro said its tokenized stock offering build on past experiences in tokenization, acquiring Danish token startup Firmo in 2019 and launching tokenized gold and in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
