US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $442.62 million in net outflows and Ethereum ETFs lost $224.96 million as investor caution grew amid volatility.

Mastercard said on June 17, 2026 it has launched Agent Pay, an automated payments protocol designed for machines, with Aave, Coinbase, OKX, Polygon, Ripple and Solana as initial partners. The protocol is intended to enable real-time, compliant and programmable payments between entities such as IoT devices and AI agents, using a blockchain settlement layer. Partners will integrate their technology stacks to support cross-chain asset settlement and identity verification. Mastercard said the system is not a marketing pilot and has entered production deployment, marking what it described as the first deep integration of traditional financial infrastructure with on-chain payment primitives.

Jupiter Exchange has added support on Solana for leveraged tokenized equity products issued by Shift RWA. The integration allows users to trade leveraged tokens pegged to U.S. stocks such as AAPL and TSLA directly via Jupiter, with underlying assets held in custody by Shift RWA and verified on-chain. RWA, the native token of the Shift RWA ecosystem, is used for protocol governance, collateral and fee payments. The launch is described as the first time a major aggregator has opened access to RWA-linked leveraged token trading, with no new token issuance or airdrop and no disclosure of the number of trading pairs or TVL.
