Singapore, January 21, 2026 — River , the first chain-abstraction stablecoin system designed to connect assets, liquidity, and yield across ecosystems, today announced $8 million in strategic investment from TRON DAO Ventures. River will deploy its chain-abstraction stablecoin infrastructure and expand its integration across the TRON ecosystem, strengthening TRON’s position as a leading blockchain network for stablecoin activity. River will enable cross-ecosystem assets and liquidity to enter the TRON ecosystem through its chain-abstraction stablecoin infrastructure. The integration will further accelerate the flow of cross-ecosystem liquidity into TRON, extending access to one of the world’s largest blockchain networks. By abstracting underlying network complexity, users will be able to move assets across blockchain ecosystems without navigating individual chains, simplifying cross-chain participation and settlement. The initiative aims to build a more unified and interoperable infrastructure to support activity across the TRON network. As part of the initiative, satUSD will be introduced across several core protocols within the TRON ecosystem. It will be deployed in stablecoin liquidity pools alongside USDT and USDD on SUN, with price feeds provided by WinkLink, and will be made available on JustLend for lending and borrowing. The integration will extend across a range of assets and dApps across the TRON ecosystem, including TRX, USDT, wBTC, BTT, JST, SUN, WIN, and select NFT use cases. River also plans to introduce a Smart Vault and an institutional-grade Prime Vault. TRON is one of the most actively used public blockchain networks globally, processing approximately 56 percent of all retail-sized USDT transfers in the fourth quarter of 2025, the highest share among major blockchains. According to Tether’s latest transparency report, the network currently hosts approximately $83.4 billion in USDT liquidity, reflecting its role as a primary blockchain infrastructure supporting stablecoin activity worldwide. By combining River’s cross-ecosystem connectivity with TRON’s scalable blockchain infrastructure, the collaboration aims to support the development of a more integrated network for liquidity, yield, and asset deployment. The initiative reflects a shared focus on strengthening blockchain infrastructure to support scalable settlement, cross-ecosystem liquidity, and institutional participation. About River River is building the first chain-abstraction stablecoin system that connects assets, liquidity, and yield across ecosystems.

Vitalik Buterin has outlined his vision for Ethereum by drawing comparisons with BitTorrent and Linux, framing the blockchain as a system designed to combine decentralization with large-scale, real-world applications. Buterin stated that these metaphors help explain Ethereum’s long-term direction, particularly its emphasis on autonomy, resilience, and broad adoption without reliance on intermediaries. According to Buterin, Ethereum aims to replicate how BitTorrent distributes data across a peer-to-peer network while maintaining scale, but instead applies those principles to decentralized consensus. Ethereum as a decentralized base layer Buterin claimed that the underlying layer of Ethereum is intended to serve as a financial and organizational foundation for an extended period, enabling those who want more autonomy to utilize it. He pointed out that the network should enable people and organizations to utilize its full potential without relying on trusted intermediaries. Simultaneously, he noted that this practice is also compatible with enterprise adoption, using the example of Linux, an open infrastructure widely trusted in large institutions. He elaborated on the fact that open systems attract lots of enterprises not because of ideology, but to minimize counterparty risks. In this context, the Ethereum feature of being trustless aligns with the efforts by organizations to reduce their dependency on centralized participants. Buterin stated that Ethereum would need to pass what he termed a “walkaway test,” i.e., the system had to be decentralized and not require social coordination or manual intervention to maintain its structure. Bandwidth, latency, and scaling tradeoffs Regarding the technical strategy of Ethereum, Buterin wrote that it is cheaper to add bandwidth than latency. He said that scaling systems, such as PeerDAS and zero-knowledge proofs, are possible to grow Ethereum many times larger than the prior designs. He referred to prior research that has shown post-sharding designs increase the practicability of large-scale decentralization. By contrast, he noted that physically constrained latency reduction methods include the speed of light and the need to serve nodes that are geographically scattered, as are non-large data center nodes. He noted that staking would need to be cost-effective in different locations and that a network requiring decentralization through a few centers would not be economically supported unless it was decentralized. Buterin claimed that it is possible to achieve moderate improvements in latency without significant trade-offs. He referred to peer-to-peer networking enhancements, including erasure coding, and architecture design that ensures a lower aggregation need. He argued that such measures could reduce confirmation times to the 2-4 second range, which would be several times better than the current state of affairs. Role of L2s and real-world analogies Buterin emphasized that Ethereum is not intended to be used as an actual real-time application server across the globe. He referred to the network as the heartbeat of the world, establishing a minimum speed at which faster applications have to be constructed around. He applied the logic to future applications of artificial intelligence, where, he said, systems running at speeds much higher than human time scales would need localized execution environments. He explained that in these cases, highly localized chains would exist, which might be at the city or building level, providing an Ethereum anchoring layer-2 network. In his comparison, Buterin revisited BitTorrent as an example of decentralized infrastructure that can be used in both public and private situations. He pointed out that governments, businesses, and other non-profit organizations have transferred big databases, software patches, and government information through BitTorrent technology.

Rapper Soulja Boy has apologized for promoting dozens of crypto and non-fungible token projects flagged as scams by blockchain investigator ZachXBT in 2023. The “Crank It” artist’s social media activity between 2021 and 2023 has several posts promoting crypto tokens and NFT collections to his millions of followers. ZachXBT alleges that many of those promotions involved projects that either collapsed within days of his messages, were abandoned, or were outright fraudulent. Soulja Boy, whose real name is DeAndre Cortez Way, addressed the allegations in a statement posted on X early Monday morning. He said he was unaware of the fraudulent nature of the projects at the time and admitted there were failures in his past judgment. “I want to be clear and transparent. I had no knowledge that a scammer named Sahil was involved or paying me to promote anything fraudulent. At the time, I was doing paid promos without understanding the crypto/NFT space the way I do now. This was years ago, and I’ve learned a lot since then,” the rapper-turned-crypto-investor claimed.

Growth is learning from mistakes,” Soulja Boy concluded. ZachXBT listed 5 scam projects promoted by Soulja Boy According to ZachXBT’s X thread in April 2023, Soulja Boy promoted crypto and NFT drops at least 73 times since March 2021. The investigator said 16 of the NFT collections lauded by the rapper later became scams or failed ventures, Cryptopolitan reported . One of the cited examples was a token known as RAPDOGE, which Soulja Boy had mentioned severally in mid-2021. “On July 19, 2021, Soulja Boy Tweeted out: “let’s pump $RAPDOGE to $.000001 and let’s get all our friends in on this, are you with me lilyachty” In the following hours the project rug pulled after receiving shills from Lil Yachty and Quavo as well,” the investigator wrote. The RAPDOGE token has since become defunct, and investors suffered losses after liquidity was withdrawn shortly after the promotional push. ZachXBT also talked about Soulja Boy’s tussle with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which had filed a complaint accusing him and several other celebrities of unlawfully promoting tronix (TRX) and BitTorrent (BTT). The SEC alleged that the promotions failed to disclose the rapper had been compensated for endorsing the tokens, alongside actor Lindsay Lohan, WWE athlete and influencer Jake Paul, artists Akon and Ne-Yo. Two projects known as Orion and The Life Token were also part of Soulja Boy’s cake, which he allegedly used for charitable causes. “Orion & The Life Token, these two projects used cancer and suicide prevention charities as a means to pump the price. Within one month of the shill Orion, rugged and Twitter was deleted. The Life Token was abandoned in early 2022,” ZachXBT surmised. Soulja Boy promoted a different project called Flokinomics that fraudulently claimed to be connected to Elon Musk and paid for media promotion to make it look real, but its liquidity was eventually taken away. Per ZachXBT’s estimates, the “Superman” rapper earned more than $730,000 from crypto and NFT promotions during the period under review. Celebrity gets cleared from 2-year long Cryptozoo court case There have been several famous names mentioned alongside failed crypto projects within the last year, but perhaps the most talked about was Logan Paul’s Cryptozoo frenzy. The WWE superstar and online personality closed the chapter on the defunct NFT project legal dispute after a US district judge upheld the dismissal of a class action lawsuit accusing him of misleading investors. The lawsuit, filed in 2023, alleged that Paul and his associates promoted an NFT-based game that promised profits through breeding and trading digital animals. The project never completely got off the ground, which led to claims that investors were lied to and that the effort was a “rug pull.” Sign up to Bybit and start trading with $30,050 in welcome gifts
