Deutsche Börse Group, the Germany-headquartered securities listing and trading exchange, is planning to develop a blockchain-based system for securities lending.
According to an announcement on Monday, Deutsche Börse said it plans to develop a system that can offer more efficient securities settlement, and will use technical support from financial management firm HQLAX and blockchain startup R3's Corda platform.

The exchange explained that the move comes due to a fragmented global securities system that incurs higher operational costs, while lowering settlement fluidity.
"These assets are in heightened demand due to the implementation of bank regulations for liquidity, mandatory clearing and margin requirements for OTC derivatives," the exchange said.
Guido Stroemer, CEO of HQLAX, commented:
“Our goal is to mobilize liquidity across pools of collateral currently residing in disparate custody accounts around the globe.”
The announcement also marks yet another major financial institution eyeing blockchain technology to streamline existing business flow, while maintaining regulatory transparency.
In fact, HQLAX and R3 have already developed a solution for securities lending in partnership with banking giants including Credit Suisse and ING.
Using the solution, the banks completed a transaction of $30 million-worth of securities over a blockchain-powered platform in early March, following a proof-of-concept conducted last year.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
Cosa sapere:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

Ethereum’s ERC-8004 aims to put identity and trust behind AI agents
A new Ethereum standard seeks to give AI agents portable identities and reputations, letting them interact across companies and chains without relying on centralized gatekeepers.
Cosa sapere:
- Ethereum developers are set to roll out ERC-8004, a new standard that gives AI software agents persistent on-chain identities and a shared framework for establishing credibility.
- The standard defines three registries—identity, reputation and validation—that let agents register themselves, collect reusable feedback and publish independent checks of their work on Ethereum or layer-2 networks.
- Framed as neutral infrastructure rather than a marketplace, ERC-8004 aims to enable interoperable, gatekeeper-free AI services on Ethereum, even as ether trades just above $3,000 after a recent price gain.
