Across

RIFT announced that Across is now live in its platform, with RIFT routing USDC and ETH between EVMs through Across at no added fee. RIFT says Across has been consistently tight on the two assets, and the integration is meant to make moving money onchain easier for its users.

• Integration announced by RIFTHQ and amplified by Across's X account
• RIFT routes USDC and ETH between EVMs via Across without passing an added fee to users

Across is now live on the Arc chain, letting builders move USDC across chains through its intent-based settlement network. A new update highlights that users can bridge from any major chain and receive USDC on Arc without needing to hold USDC beforehand — Across swaps it en route during the transfer.

• Supports USDC movement between Arc and 20+ chains in seconds
• Combines bridge, swap, and deposit actions in a single flow
• Arc builders can use Across Skills for a quick integration

Across transferred to a new company, Across, Inc. ("AcrossCo"), and is sunsetting the $ACX token. The Token Exchange Portal is now live, giving $ACX holders two options to exchange their tokens, after the previously delayed end-of-August target. The announcement summarizes both options (view post).

Across shared a retweet announcing that cross-chain x402 is now live on Solana Pay, enabling AI agents and users to pay for inference from Ethereum and receive payment on Solana. The feature lets people and autonomous agents transfer payments across chains using x402, an emerging payments standard for agent-to-agent transactions.

• Cross-chain x402 integrates Across's settlement network with Solana Pay
• Payments for inference originate on Ethereum and settle on Solana
• No further implementation details were provided in the announcement

Ether.fi announced the live launch of its next-generation crypto neobank, which is powered in part by Across. The app offers earning, trading, borrowing and spending, and adds tokenized stocks and metals trading plus an integrated Aave market on Optimism that supports borrowing against users' full portfolios.

Across provided a short update on The Bridge Across, saying its team is working with legal counsel to clear the final hurdles of the ACX Exchange program. Timelines for the exchange have been slightly delayed; the exchange portal is expected to go live soon.

Across now supports large transfers into Robinhood Chain at a fixed rate, enabled by Paxos Transit. The integration lets users move substantial sums across to Robinhood's chain without variable pricing, aimed at high-value transfers.
