Ondo is a DAO-backed platform launched in 2024 to bring real-world assets (RWAs) on-chain through tokenized Treasury and bond products like USDY and OUSG. Built by a team with Wall Street roots, Ondo aims to bridge traditional finance and DeFi through compliant, institution-ready structures and has partnered with major players, including JPMorgan.

Worldcoin is a global identity protocol that combines biometric verification \u2014 via iris-scan hardware \u2014 with crypto incentives to create a tamper-resistant proof-of-personhood. After verification, users receive a World ID and WLD tokens, which can be used for payments, governance, and app features within its wallet ecosystem. The project aims to support identity-driven applications such as authentication, voting, and universal basic income. While early governance is foundation-led, Worldcoin is moving toward greater decentralization as global adoption expands through in-person scanning hubs and mobile onboarding.<\/span><\/p>\nWant to receive these insights straight to your inbox?<\/strong><\/p>\nSign up here<\/a><\/p>\nThe Setup \u2014 Ethereum Upgrade<\/span><\/h2>\nThe Ethereum<\/a> network’s “Fusaka” upgrade is set for today at 4:49 PM EST.
