More →GRVT Burns 1.1 Million Tokens as Countdown to Grvt 2.0 Begins
<strong>[PRESS RELEASE – Singapore, Singapore, October 20th, 2026]</strong> <strong>The discretionary buyback represents close to 1% of circulating supply and precedes four planned product milestones culminating in Grvt 2.0.</strong> <a href="https://grvt.io/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">>Grvt</a>, a self-custodial trading platform built on its own zero-knowledge (ZK) chain, announced that the Foundation’s token issuer has completed its first GRVT token buyback, purchasing and burning 1.1 million GRVT tokens on the open market. The transaction permanently removed close to 1% of GRVT’s circulating supply at the time of purchase. It marks the first of five milestones ahead of the planned launch of Grvt 2.0 at the end of November 2026. <strong>A Discretionary Buyback with On-Chain Verification</strong> The Foundation’s token issuer intends to conduct further buybacks on a monthly basis. Each transaction remains entirely at the issuer’s discretion, with no predetermined purchase amount or guaranteed schedule. Buybacks are executed through an independent execution partner, with purchased tokens transferred to a designated burn address and permanently removed from circulation. The transactions can be independently verified through the <a href="https://grvt.io/exchange/buybacks" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">>public buyback dashboard</a>, which records the number of tokens purchased and burned, the percentage of circulating supply represented, cumulative burns and on-chain transaction hashes. “The GRVT token is an important part of the ecosystem we are building,” said <strong>Hong, co-founder and CEO of Grvt</strong>. “We welcome the issuer’s buybacks as a demonstration of its long-term commitment to the ecosystem and community. Grvt is expanding its products and markets, and the issuer’s buybacks sit alongside that as a supportive mechanism aimed at reducing circulating token supply.” <strong>Grvt Outlines Four Product Milestones</strong> The announcement follows GRVT’s token generation event in July 2026 and precedes a series of planned launches. <strong>Grvt Earn, scheduled for the End of October,</strong> will introduce yield opportunities backed by tokenized assets, with target yields of up to 11%. Potential returns are expected to derive from underlying asset cash flows, including interest, premiums and invoice-related income. Asset-supplying partners will be announced at launch. Target yields are not guaranteed. <strong>Stable Funding Perps, scheduled for November,</strong> will introduce perpetual futures linked to commodities, stocks, foreign exchange and indices. The contracts are planned to carry zero trading fees and use once-daily funding. Grvt aims to list more than 1,000 markets by the end of December 2026. <strong>Yield as Margin, also scheduled for November,</strong> will allow eligible Grvt Earn balances to support trading positions while continuing to accrue yield, subject to applicable product terms

Mistral releases Voxtral 3: connecting speech recognition, reasoning, and tool calling into a real-time Agent
Coin World news: Mistral has released Voxtral 3, including three speech transcription models, one speech synthesis model, and a complete voice agent SDK. In the official demo, a user asks in English to book a dermatologist appointment, the AI reads a French referral letter, calls the system to check available time slots, completes the booking, and then confirms in English—all through a real-time voice conversation. Voxtral 3 adopts a modular design: the transcription model handles speech recognition, general-purpose large models such as Mistral small handle reasoning and tool invocation, and the speech synthesis model handles responses. The SDK supports phone and web calls, allows users to interrupt at any time, and Mistral claims single-turn interaction latency of less than 1 second. Transcription support has expanded from 13 languages to more than 50, while speech synthesis supports more than 35 languages and over 50 dialects. The API charges $0.008 per minute for real-time transcription and $13 per million characters for speech synthesis.
