Key Takeaways:

  • The first batch consisted of nine startups that specialized in such areas as tokenized capital markets, decentralized insurance, and the creator economy.
  • The teams that participated indicated an average of 67 percent increase in product maturity and 92 percent growth in confidence in fundraising after six weeks of pilot.
  • Ripple recently reported that the first group of participants in its University Digital Asset Xcelerator, a joint program with the University of California, Berkeley, graduated. The program acts as a special channel through which blockchain ideas can be transferred out of a campus environment and into the financial market.

The University Digital Asset Xcelerator (UDAX) has been unveiled by Ripple and UC Berkeley to liaise between early academic innovation and institutional blockchain implementation.

Combining Academic Research and Market Utility

The UDAX program was an expansion of the decades-old University Blockchain Research Initiative (UBRI) launched by Ripple that has been funding academic research over the years. The new accelerator targets specifically those startups that are developed on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), who will receive technical support and mentorship by the Ripple engineers. The program tries to address the problem of the valley of death by matching student founders with industry veterans, since many promising blockchain projects do not have an institutional-grade business.

In the course of the six-week intensive pilot, nine startups have been striving to perfect their business models and code. The curriculum ended with a demo day, hosted at the headquarters of Ripple in San Francisco, where the founders pitched their projects to 13 venture capital firms and developers of core XRPL. This was the bridge that helped to bridge theoretical research and guided it towards the practical needs of the crypto investment community.

Practical Applications and Accomplishment Achievement

Some of the startups in the cohort showed a great level of growth in the course of their stay in the program. WaveTip is an instant tipping platform that became successful on social media switching to the XRPL Mainnet and deployed its service on the Chrome Web Store. Another player, X-Card, specialized in the tokenization of real-world items, having deposited over 1.5 million items of inventory and finding merchants.

The financial sector also gained momentum with such projects as the CRX Digital Assets. The accelerator saw the team export Brazilian credit products into international markets, increasing their tokenized volume to $58 million as compared to the initial volume of $39 million. Meanwhile, Blockroll incorporated the Ripple RLUSD stablecoin to support digital cards of African freelancers, which is an indication of the usefulness of the ledger in cross-border remittances.

Measuring Program Success

Specific growth measures that were given by the participants were used to measure the results of the pilot.

  • Product Maturity: There was an average of 67% growth in technical and operational readiness in teams.
  • Fundraising Confidence: Founders had an average improvement in their confidence about external capital of 92% improvement.
  • Strategic Growth: Startups such as EXFIL had increased their user base twice when concentrating on blockchain threat intelligence.

It is based on this collaborative model, which implies a change in the way blockchain firms relate to universities. However, instead of just giving grants to do their general research, the emphasis is shifting to producing particular, deployable tools that can instantly add liquidity and functionality to a particular network, such as the XRP Ledger.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…

One Of Frank Sinatra’s Most Famous Albums Is Back In The Spotlight

One Of Frank Sinatra’s Most Famous Albums Is Back In The Spotlight

The post One Of Frank Sinatra’s Most Famous Albums Is Back In The Spotlight appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Frank Sinatra’s The World We Knew returns to the Jazz Albums and Traditional Jazz Albums charts, showing continued demand for his timeless music. Frank Sinatra performs on his TV special Frank Sinatra: A Man and his Music Bettmann Archive These days on the Billboard charts, Frank Sinatra’s music can always be found on the jazz-specific rankings. While the art he created when he was still working was pop at the time, and later classified as traditional pop, there is no such list for the latter format in America, and so his throwback projects and cuts appear on jazz lists instead. It’s on those charts where Sinatra rebounds this week, and one of his popular projects returns not to one, but two tallies at the same time, helping him increase the total amount of real estate he owns at the moment. Frank Sinatra’s The World We Knew Returns Sinatra’s The World We Knew is a top performer again, if only on the jazz lists. That set rebounds to No. 15 on the Traditional Jazz Albums chart and comes in at No. 20 on the all-encompassing Jazz Albums ranking after not appearing on either roster just last frame. The World We Knew’s All-Time Highs The World We Knew returns close to its all-time peak on both of those rosters. Sinatra’s classic has peaked at No. 11 on the Traditional Jazz Albums chart, just missing out on becoming another top 10 for the crooner. The set climbed all the way to No. 15 on the Jazz Albums tally and has now spent just under two months on the rosters. Frank Sinatra’s Album With Classic Hits Sinatra released The World We Knew in the summer of 1967. The title track, which on the album is actually known as “The World We Knew (Over and…
