As of July 8 last year, Vauld owed $402 million to creditors, 90% of which originated from individual retail investor deposits. Indian authorities froze assets worth 3.7 billion rupees ($46.4 million) a month after it filed for creditor protection.

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.

Standard Chartered says U.S. regional banks most at risk in $500 billion stablecoin shift
The delay of market structure legislation highlights a growing threat to domestic lenders as digital dollars begin to cannibalize traditional bank deposits.
What to know:
- Standard Chartered warned that U.S. regional banks are the most exposed to stablecoin disruption due to their heavy reliance on net interest margin (NIM) for revenue.
- The bank projected that one-third of the growing stablecoin market will be sourced from developed market bank deposits, totaling an estimated $500 billion outflow by 2028.
- A legislative standoff over whether stablecoin providers can pay interest is stalling market structure legislation, though Standard Chartered still expects a March passage.
