ether.fi

ether.fi users can now connect their account to AI Connect and ask assistants like Claude or ChatGPT read-only questions about their activity — for example, auditing subscriptions, breaking down a trip's spending, or flagging charges that look off.

The connection is read-only: the assistant can't spend, borrow, or move anything without the user's permission. It marks ether.fi's first hands-on AI assistant integration for account analysis, following its recent push of spending and repayment features on card and credit products.

EtherFi reminded weETH holders that they have until October 26 to move their assets off Blast before the L2 network's shutdown removes the normal withdrawal interface. After the deadline, funds will only be recoverable by interacting directly with Blast's bridge contracts on Ethereum.

• The October 26 cutoff applies to withdrawals made through Blast's standard interface, including its web app
• The warning follows Blast's announcement that it is winding down operations, leaving assets on the L2 needing an exit to Ethereum mainnet to remain easily accessible

PAXGy by Paxos is now live on ether.fi. The token brings physical gold onchain as a yield-bearing, store-of-wealth asset — a market that has existed for thousands of years now tradeable and productive while held. Detail on the exact yield mechanics and supported regions is limited to the launch announcement.

• PAXGy is positioned as the first onchain version of gold that 'works' (earns) while you hold it
• It expands ether.fi's stablecoin and asset listings beyond dollar-pegged assets into gold-backed collateral

EtherFi now lets users set their Liquid RWA vault position as their spend priority and tap their card directly from the position, or use it to repay USDC debt without selling other assets. The feature turns the vault position into an active balance for spending and repayment rather than a held asset.

EtherFi also outlined limits: debt borrowed in the last 7 days can't be repaid with Liquid RWA, and repays are capped at $10k per 24h for KYC'd accounts and $2.5k otherwise.

EtherFi confirmed that weETH has no exposure and all funds are safe following a security incident at an Ethereum node operator. The incident hit MetaMask Staking (formerly Consensys Staking), which said it was responding to a compromise of part of its infrastructure and had taken precautionary steps to protect client assets.

• Lido said the affected assets relate to Ethereum validators operated by MetaMask Staking, which is proceeding with precautionary, out-of-order exits that may impact some rewards
• EtherFi relayed MetaMask's and Lido's statements alongside its own assurance that neither weETH nor user funds are affected

USDT0, Tether's cross-chain dollar asset, is now listed on ether.fi. The announcement touts USDT0 as the fastest growing stablecoin, with $100B+ in cross-chain volume across 20+ networks, and says it can now be spent anywhere via the platform.

• USDT0 is backed 1:1 by USDT on Ethereum and moves across networks via an omnichain bridge
• The listing lets ether.fi users hold, use, and spend the single, network-agnostic USDT variant

EtherFi's Liquid vaults are now available through KyberNetwork's KyberSwap aggregator. Users can deposit into the Liquid ETH, Liquid USD, and Liquid BTC vaults, which bring automated staking and lending strategies, and EtherFi has launched an "earning crystal" rewards campaign for the integration.

• Adds another distribution channel for EtherFi's Liquid product line, following earlier integrations with Fordefi, Utila, Binance Wallet, and Trust Wallet
• KyberSwap routes deposits into the vault strategies alongside its existing DEX aggregation

EtherFi announced that swapping between weETH and ETH on Trust Wallet is now completely free, with 0% fees. The company pitched the move as "one less reason to keep your ETH sitting idle," removing the cost of converting between the restaked ETH wrapper and ETH directly inside the wallet.

Arc Mainnet has gone live, described as an "Economic OS for the internet" — an open, onchain financial platform. Details on its scope and target users are still limited to the initial announcement.

EtherFi's app is live on Arc from day one, giving EtherFi users access to the new network at launch.

EtherFi's Liquid ETH vault is now available on Utila, letting treasuries and institutions put idle ETH to work from the Utila platform. It adds another institutional distribution channel for the vault's automated staking and lending strategies, alongside the earlier Fordefi and Binance Wallet integrations.
