Today in crypto, Polygon disclosed previously private security flaws patched through recent hard forks, Stellar’s tokenized real-world asset market climbed to nearly $4 billion, tokenized stock activity surged over the last 30 days, and a Trump-promoted token collapsed after briefly surging.
Polygon discloses security flaws fixed in recent hard forksPolygon disclosed several previously private security vulnerabilities that could have disrupted its proof-of-stake network after deploying fixes through two recent hard forks.
The vulnerabilities affected Polygon’s Bor and Heimdall clients and included denial-of-service risks, validator resource exhaustion and flaws affecting checkpoint and milestone processing.
Polygon said the flaws were fixed through the Austin and Kyoto hard forks, which were privately deployed and tested before mainnet activation and public disclosure. None of the vulnerabilities were observed being exploited on mainnet.
Nodes running older versions of either client past the hard fork activation heights have fallen out of consensus and must upgrade to rejoin the canonical network.
Stellar tokenized RWA market more than quadruples to nearly $4BThe value of tokenized real-world assets on Stellar has climbed roughly 360% in 2026 to nearly $4 billion, up from $868.8 million at the end of last year.
The network’s RWA market cap stood at $3.996 billion as of Aug. 29, spread across US Treasurys, private and public credit, non-US government debt and other tokenized asset classes.
Financial institutions and tokenization platforms are also expanding their use of Stellar, with DTCC planning to connect its tokenization service to the network and Tradable announcing plans to bring up to $1 billion in private credit assets to Stellar.
Tokenized stock transfer volume jumps 415% in 30 days to $29.5BTokenized stock activity surged over the past 30 days, with monthly transfer volume climbing more than 415% to $29.5 billion, according to RWA.xyz data.
Monthly active addresses rose more than 209% to around 1.3 million, while the number of tokenized stock holders climbed 167% to 2.36 million. The total value of tokenized stocks distributed onchain reached $2.54 billion, up roughly 637% from $344 million a year ago.
The increase comes as crypto platforms expand their tokenized equity offerings, with Coinbase launching tokenized US stocks on Base and Bitwise introducing automated portfolios built from the assets.
Trump-promoted brand touts GOLD before token collapseA Trump-linked coin brand promoted the “Trump Digital GOLD” token shortly before it collapsed, raising questions about the launch and unusual trading activity.
Blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain said the developer and 15 newly created wallets controlled 82.45% of GOLD’s supply. The wallets later sold 224.5 million tokens for about $330,000, making an estimated $312,000 profit.
GOLD’s market capitalization subsequently plunged from about $50 million to $500,000, according to DEX Screener.
Real Trump Coins deleted related X posts, fueling speculation its accounts may have been compromised.
