🛡️ A certification is a promise. A surveillance audit checks you still keep it.

In August, @dfnsHQ passed its first ISO/IEC 27001, 27017 and 27018 surveillance audit, with a positive recommendation from MSECB on all three.

Over four days, auditors reviewed our security controls ises deployments, from risk management and disaster recovery to backups, incident response and employee training.

The result: all three certifications maintained. No major findings. One minor documentation issue, now corrected and closed ✅

This follows another year of work: SOC 2 renewed with no exceptions, new security controls, better monitoring and recovery, and a detailed analysis of the limits every provider faces.

Security isn’t a certificate on a wall. It’s the controls you run, test and improve every day.

The full audit report is available to clients under NDA.

⏩ Next: ISO 22301 for business continuity and SOC 1 for financial controls.

🆕 @dfnsHQ now supports @circle's CCTP on @StellarOrg.

The world's largest cash-to-stablecoin network just got connected to institutional USDC liquidity everywhere from DFNS.

Native USDC moves between Stellar in one governed transfer. The USDC that arrives is the same both sides.

No wrapped variant. No third-party bridge. No custodian in the middle.

Now the flows that took two platforms run in one:
✔️ Collect USDC on Ethereum or Base, move it to Stellar, and pay out through their cash network.
✔️ Hold one USDC balance sheet and settle wherever with no liquidity pre-positioned on every network.
✔️ Deploy Stellar USDC on Solana or Ethereum when a counterparty requires it, bring it home for payouts

Use the same DFNS integration as any other CCTP route:
1️⃣ select Circle CCTP in Swaps
2️⃣ pick your wallets, review
3️⃣ sign with a passkey or an API call
4️⃣ Stellar’s address encoding and USDC precision are handled automatically.

Fiat in through Circle Mint. USDC across chains via CCTP. Cash out on Stellar.

That's what onchain core banking is for.

Today, we’re launching Deconflict 2.0: a new brand identity, a new logo, and five new products.

This launch is about helping law enforcement investigators and financial institutions do their work with better information, practical tools, and less friction.

Here’s what’s new:
es law enforcement investigators free access to courses they can take at their own pace, with a certificate of completion. The courses were written by law enforcement veterans with experience at agencies including DHS and DOJ.

AI-Powered Threat Intelligence gives compliance teams a dedicated environment to search for relevant intelligence and bring more context into their reviews.

Investigative Agent helps users examine a crypto wallet and organize the available context around it, giving investigators a clearer place to start.

OSINT Agent helps develop public-source leads from an identifier and brings the findings into a report for investigators to assess.

E-Signature helps law enforcement investigators, Assistant U.S. Attorneys, and prosecutors send and sign legal requests, making the process easier to manage and document.

We built these products for people who need to find relevant information, understand what it means, and take the next step. Deconflict 2.0 brings more of that work together.

Thank you to the investigators and compliance professionals who helped shape this launch, and to the team at @zypsy for helping bring our new brand identity to life.

Today we're announcing that BridgePort is piloting the Digital Asset Master Agreement (DAMA) – a shared legal standard for off-exchange settlement (OES) relationships between trading firms, custodians, and exchanges.

We decided to to do this because we kept hearing the same bottleneck from the market: every new OES relationship means renegotiating custody, settlement, operations and default terms from scratch. As an agnostic connectivity layer between exchanges, trading firms, and custodians we're positioned to lead the standard the whole market needs.

And, because we have the team that understands what needs to be done:

Nirup Ramalingam @NirupRam: "The infrastructure for off-exchange settlement is largely in place. The next phase of this market depends on standardizing the legal foundation beneath it, as has happened in every institutional market before. A shared standard lowers the barrier to entry and gives the market room to scale. DAMA will give the industry that foundation."

Steven Bartfield @stevebport: "Financial markets become more efficient when participants can rely on common standards. Widely adopted frameworks create incentives for market participants, law firms, and industry organizations to develop shared legal analysis, operational expertise, and market practices that can be leveraged across the ecosystem – rather than recreated for every new relationship."

We're forming a working group of trading firms, custodians, and exchanges to pilot #DAMA. Link to the dedicated site in the comments below, register your interest to join 👇

🟢 @dfnsHQ now supports staking on the @XDCNetwork.

Institutions holding XDC can now put it to work, earn rewards, and keep full custody and control.

XDC is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 built for enterprise use, with a focus on trade finance and real-world asset tokenization.
n DFNS, institutions can now stake and unstake XDC through the same transaction lifecycle they already use for every other operation.

That means:
✔️ The Policy Engine applies before anything is signed
✔️ Approval quorums, roles, and limits are enforced by default
✔️ Staking and unstaking become controlled, auditable decisions
✔️ Teams get visibility into balances, rewards, and activity

No separate staking infrastructure. No exposed private keys. No unmanaged actions outside the institution’s control framework.

Staking becomes one more operation inside DFNS, alongside holding, moving, and servicing assets across XDC and every other network you run.

That is what a core banking platform for digital assets is for.

🟢 @dfnsHQ now supports @circle's CCTP.

USDC is issued on many chains. But sometimes you need to move a dollar between chains.

Today, moving USDC across chains usually means leaving your platform…

Bridging through a third-party UI, holding native gas on the destination to rapped version instead of real USDC, waiting on unpredictable finality, and so forth.

For an institution, that's custody exposure to a bridge and a workflow you can't govern or automate.

We removed all of it ✨

With one API call from a source wallet, USDC now moves natively across chains and lands in a destination wallet on DFNS.

Across EVM to EVM, EVM to Solana, and Solana to EVM.

𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨: cross-chain moves follow the same DFNS transaction lifecycle. Approvals, limits, allowlists, and screening happen before signing, so USDC movements across chains remain controlled, auditable, and inside your policy framework.

⏭️ Next: deeper Circle support, with USDC minting into DFNS wallets.

⏱️ @solana transactions expire after ~90 seconds.

For retail, that's fine. For institutions, it can break everything.

Airgapped signing takes longer. Multi-party approvals take longer.
Even a retry queue can blow past the window.

The result: institutions couldn't operate rate every other chain.

But as of today, they can ✅

@dfnsHQ now supports 𝗗𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 on Solana.

One single flag at construct time and the transaction never expires. DFNS provisions, pools, reserves, and advances nonce accounts behind the scenes.

What this unlocks:
✔️ Offline and airgapped signing through DFNS Offline Signer or IBM OSO
✔️ Approval flows that take minutes, hours, or days
✔️ Resilient retries, no more blockhash aging out mid-process
✔️ Scheduled transactions you can submit at the right moment

Live now on Solana mainnet and devnet 🟢
