XDC Pulse | April 2026 - Institutional Expansion, Infrastructure Growth, and Global Engagement… was originally published in XDC Network on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

March 2026 continued the strong momentum across the XDC Network, with key developments in DeFi expansion, real-world asset initiatives, and institutional engagement. As the ecosystem evolves, XDC remains focused on building scalable blockchain infrastructure designed for real-world finance, trade, and tokenization.

We also received several messages from the community regarding the current situation in the UAE. We’d like to reassure everyone that operations continue as normal, with the team working remotely, staying aligned with Dubai time, and maintaining full continuity across all activities.

A major highlight this month was the selection of startups for the XDC DeFi Accelerator in partnership with Plug and Play. The selected projects — r2yield, useTeller, Term Labs, LanternFi, Bondon Credit, Bulla Network, TeleSwap, Superlend, Hashfire, NeuroWatt AI, and Hawkish Capital — represent the next phase of DeFi growth on XDC. These teams were chosen to support a clear vision focused on increasing total value locked, strengthening liquidity across the network, and building essential DeFi infrastructure. Their participation marks a significant step toward a more scalable, efficient, and resilient DeFi ecosystem.

Ecosystem development was further strengthened with XDC Network being announced as a supported blockchain in the AUDDapt grant program, aligning with AUDD’s focus on real-world financial use cases such as trade, payments, and tokenization. This initiative opens new opportunities for builders to develop practical applications on XDC, reinforcing its role as a settlement layer for real-world financial activity.

The ecosystem also saw continued growth in decentralized finance through the expansion of GoodDollar on XDC. A new GoodDollar Reserve is now live on the network, enabling native minting of G$ tokens and increasing collateral backing for the protocol. This development strengthens the infrastructure supporting digital universal basic income (UBI), showcasing how blockchain can power more inclusive financial systems.

On the security front, the community was alerted to a malicious address-poisoning attack targeting the XDC Network. The network remained secure, with no impact on core infrastructure or user funds. This serves as an important reminder for users to always verify full wallet addresses and avoid copying addresses directly from transaction history, as security awareness remains critical in a growing ecosystem.

Institutional engagement remained strong throughout the month. The XDC team participated in major global events, including the Digital Asset Summit 2026 in New York and the DC Blockchain Summit in Washington, DC, where discussions focused on tokenization, regulatory developments, and the role of blockchain in modern financial infrastructure.

XDC also marked an important milestone by hosting its first side event at its New York City office, the Tokenization Clinic. The roundtable session brought together industry participants for practical discussions around real-world asset tokenization and institutional adoption. This event marked the beginning of a new series of engagements as XDC continues to expand its presence in New York, with more sessions planned at the Chelsea Arts Tower.

Beyond these engagements, the XDC team participated in several successful global events throughout the month, including the Web3 Banking Symposium in Zurich, the 24th NextGen Payments and RegTech Forum in Switzerland, and Smart Summit 2026 in Brazil. Across these events, the team connected with financial institutions, regulators, and industry leaders, driving conversations around blockchain adoption, digital payments, and real-world asset infrastructure.

Looking ahead to April, the XDC team will continue its global presence across key industry events, including Money20/20 Asia from April 21 to 23, the Digital Assets Summit in El Salvador on April 15, and the Hong Kong Web3 Festival on April 20. Community members and ecosystem partners are encouraged to connect with the team during these events.

That concludes the March 2026 edition of XDC Pulse, where we highlight key ecosystem updates each month. If you’re building on XDC and would like to be featured, we encourage you to reach out. As episodes are recorded in advance, some updates may appear in the following edition.

What’s Driving XDC’s Growth? DeFi, Tokenization & Global Expansion | XDC Pulse March 2026 was originally published in XDC Network on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Running a Masternode on the XDC Network requires staking 10,000,000 XDC, completing KYC, and securely managing validator funds.

For institutions and enterprises, using Fireblocks via WalletConnect v2 provides institutional-grade custody, governance automation, and transaction policy control.

This guide walks through the complete process using your referenced application flow and screenshots.

Why Use Fireblocks for XDC Masternode Hosting?

Fireblocks is an institutional digital asset custody and operations platform used by exchanges, fintechs, funds, and enterprises.

Multi-Layer Security

1️⃣ MPC-CMP Wallet Technology

Major XDC Network Upgrade & Institutional Adoption | February 2026 XDC Pulse

February 2026 marked another milestone month for the XDC Network, with progress across protocol development, institutional infrastructure, ecosystem expansion, and global engagement. From a major network upgrade to growing institutional integrations and increasing participation in global financial forums, the ecosystem continues to advance its vision of building blockchain infrastructure for real-world finance.

A major technical milestone for the network was the successful activation of XDC Network v2.6.8, known as the Cancun upgrade, at Block 98,800,200. The upgrade aligned XDC with Ethereum Cancun standards and introduced EIP-1559 on mainnet, alongside improvements in EVM efficiency, stronger consensus performance, enhanced RPC stability, and compatibility with Solidity v0.8.28. All nodes successfully completed the mandatory upgrade and are now fully synchronized with the network, maintaining consensus following the hard fork activation. This upgrade further strengthens XDC’s focus on production-grade infrastructure designed for trade finance, real-world asset tokenization, cross-border payments, and scalable decentralized applications.

Ecosystem development also continued to expand with the opening of applications for Cohort 3 of the XDC RWA Accelerator, focused on strengthening the DeFi ecosystem on the XDC Network. The program targets teams building decentralized exchanges, lending platforms, liquidity and derivatives products, as well as essential infrastructure such as bridges, fiat on-ramps, oracles, and wallets. Selected participants receive direct technical support from the XDC Network and XDC Foundation, along with access to Plug and Play’s global corporate and investor network.

Within the accelerator ecosystem, Raze Finance was officially welcomed into the XDC ecosystem. Emerging from the XDC RWA Accelerator, Raze is developing institutional-grade, real-world-asset-backed vaults on XDC designed to support USDC liquidity while enabling underserved small and medium-sized enterprises to access capital.

Institutional infrastructure also strengthened this month as XDC secured regulated custody support through BitGo Bank & Trust’s MPC framework, enabling compliant custody services for both XDC and USDC. This development reinforces XDC’s readiness for institutional capital deployment by meeting the security, compliance, and operational standards required by financial institutions entering the digital asset space.

Trade finance adoption continued to gain momentum as Contour joined the XDC ecosystem and welcomed Rahul Bhargava as Interim COO. Under his leadership, the organization continues its mission to deliver scalable, compliant, real-time digital Letters of Credit and settlement infrastructure powered by XDC rails, further advancing blockchain-based solutions within global trade finance.

XDC Network also signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding with Murundi Group, focusing on blockchain-powered supply chain traceability and digital trade documentation across the India–Australia corridor. The initiative will initially focus on rice and coffee trade flows, with a framework designed to scale globally and support broader digital trade transformation.

Australia remained a key region for infrastructure expansion. Following the integration of AUDD, the Australian Digital Dollar, on the XDC Network, enterprises can now move value between AUD and USD with deep liquidity, low slippage, and near-instant settlement. To further strengthen liquidity infrastructure, XDC also launched an AUDD–USDC liquidity pool on Curve Finance, supporting settlement across Australia–US and broader APAC trade corridors.

USDC accessibility across the ecosystem expanded further as Alchemy Pay added fiat on-ramp support, allowing users to purchase USDC using more than 50 fiat currencies via Visa, Mastercard, and local payment rails. Additionally, Encryptus Global launched a dedicated USDC initiative, enabling companies and high-net-worth individuals to access liquidity on XDC with improved efficiency, lower costs, and faster settlement speeds.

Exchange accessibility also grew as Kraken enabled USDC deposits and withdrawals on XDC with zero withdrawal fees, while introducing a new USD margin trading pair for XDC, expanding market liquidity and accessibility for traders.

Community engagement continued to expand globally, with Coinone launching an XDC engagement campaign in Korea through the XDC Engagement Hub, a quest-based on-chain rewards platform designed to drive participation and ecosystem activity. The campaign saw strong engagement from the community, with participants completing tasks and earning rewards for their involvement.

The XDC Network also received increased media exposure as Co-Founders Atul Khekade and Ritesh Kakkad were featured on Bloomberg, highlighting the growing institutional relevance of blockchain infrastructure. Atul discussed the transition of mortgages, salaries, and everyday payments onto blockchain rails, while Ritesh explored institutional use cases including stablecoins, real-world asset tokenization, ETFs, regulatory clarity, and cross-border settlement. Their insights underscored how blockchain is steadily evolving into critical infrastructure for modern global finance.

Global engagement remained strong throughout February as the XDC team participated in several major financial and blockchain events. The team joined the Broadridge and Digital Chamber session in New York, where discussions focused on the State of Digital Assets in 2026 and how blockchain can support traditional financial institutions through improved liquidity, faster settlement, and reduced operational risk.

The network also participated in the Fund Finance Symposium in Miami, engaging with financial leaders exploring how digital infrastructure can modernize funding structures, settlement processes, and operational efficiency within financial markets.

At Bitcoin Investor Week 2026 in New York, the XDC team connected with investors, builders, and market participants shaping the next wave of digital asset adoption and capital markets innovation.

The network also maintained a strong presence at GTR MENA 2026 in the UAE, where the team engaged with banks, financial institutions, corporates, and trade leaders to discuss digital trade transformation and blockchain-powered infrastructure. Conversations emphasized the growing need for transparent, efficient, and scalable settlement solutions across global trade corridors.

In Australia, XDC Network participated in Emergence 2026, engaging with the local investment ecosystem alongside ecosystem partner AUDD, the Australian Digital Dollar. Discussions highlighted strong momentum toward the commercialization of tokenization and a growing appetite for blockchain-based settlement infrastructure across the region.

XDC also hosted a private luncheon during Consensus 2026 Hong Kong, bringing together institutional investors and capital partners. During the gathering, Atul Khekade shared insights into XDC’s evolving Layer-1 strategy, with a focus on strengthening the institutional masternode ecosystem and expanding enterprise-grade participation.

The month concluded with XDC Network returning to the RWA & Stablecoin London Summit 2026, reinforcing its commitment to advancing real-world asset adoption and institutional blockchain use cases. Alongside the summit, the XDC RWA Executive Luncheon at the House of Lords continued high-level dialogue around compliant real-world asset frameworks and the future of institutional blockchain adoption. These engagements further emphasized XDC’s role in building the settlement layer for the next generation of tokenized finance.

Looking ahead to March, the XDC team will continue its global engagement across key industry events, including the Web3 Banking Symposium in Zurich, the 24th NextGen Payments and RegTech Forum in Switzerland, Smart Summit 2026 in Brazil, and the Digital Asset Summit in New York.
