GENIUS Act Becomes Law
A major regulatory breakthrough came with the passing of the GENIUS Act on July 18, 2025. This U.S. legislation sets the first-ever federal rules for stablecoins, mandating full reserve backing and transparency in transactions. The GENIUS Act outlines the framework for stablecoin issuers, providing clearer guidelines for their operations and consumer protections. For XDC, this development is pivotal as it solidifies the network’s positioning as a secure blockchain for real-world asset tokenization and stablecoin operations. As blockchain-based solutions continue to integrate with traditional finance, clear regulatory frameworks like this one provide the certainty needed for further adoption.
Ecosystem Growth & Technical Updates
XDC’s Omnichain Expansion with LayerZero and Stargate
In a significant technical update, the XDC Network expanded its capabilities by integrating with LayerZero and Stargate. This integration enables seamless transfers of XDC tokens across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum, using the Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard. XDC’s involvement with LayerZero ensures that users can move their tokens effortlessly between different ecosystems, creating more liquidity and access to cross-chain decentralized finance (DeFi) opportunities. This is a key step toward XDC’s broader goal of increasing its interoperability and positioning itself as a leading player in the omnichain landscape.

XDC RWA Accelerator Program
This month the XDC Network kicked off its second RWA Tokenization Accelerator program in partnership with Plug and Play Tech Center. This program offers selected startups and traditional finance (TradFi) participants access to mentorship, industry connections, and resources to scale. Its goal is to onboard more real-world assets (RWAs), asset managers, liquidity providers, and traditional finance institutions to the XDC Network. By creating a scalable and efficient infrastructure, the accelerator aims to enhance the tokenization of assets such as securities, commodities, and real estate. The program’s focus on bridging the gap between traditional finance and blockchain solutions reinforces XDC’s commitment to driving real-world adoption of blockchain technology in financial markets.
XDC’s Role in Trade Finance
XDC’s impact on trade finance was further highlighted in a Cointelegraph article published in mid-July. The piece delved into the $2.5 trillion trade finance gap and explained how XDC’s blockchain solutions are helping bridge this gap by enabling the tokenization of trade documents and improving financing options for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The ability to tokenize bills of lading and invoices on the XDC Network has reduced processing times from weeks to just hours. This technology is especially beneficial in emerging markets, where access to financing is limited but the need for faster, more efficient systems is growing.
