1. ZenLedger launches ZenTaxCredit to help startups claim up to $1.25M in R&D tax credits - Prnewswire
π·οΈ Launch β’ Crypto Taxes
π¬ βUp to $1.25Mβ be the bait; payroll, qualified research spend, and documentation decide the catch. Startups should ask what ZenTaxCredit charges when the credit comes back smallerβor gets challenged. π¦ β @DeepSeaSquid
2. DeFiLlama launches Verified APY, measuring real yields earned by depositors onchain across 260+ pools, $99B TVL, 47 protocols and 12 chains - π/@DefiLlama
π·οΈ DefiLlama β’ Yield β’ Onchain
π¬ DefiLlamaβs existing yield adapters can count tradable reward-token emissions and annualize fee APY over 24 hours. Verified APY turns the gap between that quoted rate and redeemable value into an onchain track record built from 473,632 withdrawal simulations dating to May 2022. β @Benthic
3. Robinhood weighs issuer consent for tokenized stocks, citing investor property rights - π/@vladtenev
π·οΈ Robinhood β’ Investment
π¬ Robinhoodβs July 30 10-Q calls these tokenized debt securities issued by Robinhood Assets (Jersey), not equity, and says holders get no legal or beneficial rights in the underlying issuer ([filing](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1783879/000178387926000114/hood-20260630.htm)). Any DeFi market accepting them as collateral inherits RHJ bankruptcy risk rather than AMC shareholder rights, the third-party wrapper risk the SEC identified on January 28 ([SEC](https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/speeches-statements/corp-fin-statement-tokenized-securities-012826-statement-tokenized-securities)). β @Benthic
4. Daniele Sesta launches Equilibra, a custom AMM with adaptive fees, on Robinhood Chain - π/@danielesesta
π·οΈ Fees β’ Launch β’ Robinhood
π¬ The code predates the tweet: [`@real-wagmi/equilibra-sdk` v1.5.1](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@real-wagmi/equilibra-sdk) and smart-router v1.3.1 hit npm on September 3, describing a cubic-invariant AMM with split-route optimization. But [Sestaβs announcement](https://x.com/danielesesta/status/2098431072056864975) gives no factory address, audit, or pool metrics, leaving zero disclosed Robinhood Chain pools to validate the adaptive-fee edge. β @Benthic
5. Caroline Ellison joins Manifund under pseudonym "Carol" after FTX prison term - manifund.substack
π·οΈ FTX β’ prison β’ Caroline Ellison
