Fixed-rate lending protocol TermMax secures strategic investment from YZi Labs

2026.08.27 18:18:26

Fixed-rate lending protocol TermMax (parent company Term Structure Labs) announced a strategic investment from YZi Labs, with the investment amount undisclosed. TermMax is a selected project in the third season of YZi Labs’ incubation program EASY Residency. The protocol has raised over $8 million in total funding; previous investors include Cumberland DRW, which led its 2023 seed round, as well as firms such as HashKey Capital, Decima Fund, Longling Capital, and MZ Web3 Fund. TermMax’s mainnet launched in April 2025, and is currently deployed across 10 EVM-compatible blockchains, operating 60 fixed-rate markets and 40 strategy vaults, with a total value locked (TVL) of tens of millions of dollars and over 1.5 million registered wallets. The protocol enables fixed-rate lending by splitting debt into three tradable tokens: FT (zero-coupon bonds), XT (interest and option value), and GT (leveraged position certificates), with settlements executed via physical delivery. Its native token $TMX completed its Token Generation Event (TGE) on August 25, and began trading simultaneously on platforms including Binance Alpha, Kraken, Bitget, MEXC, and KuCoin on its first day. According to updates, TermMax will advance its development along three core directions: on-chain yield curves, interest and option markets for tokenized stocks, and institutional lending platform TermPrime.

On-chain perpetual contract protocol Travix has closed its seed round, with participation from Amber Group.

On-chain perpetual contract protocol Travix, centered on computing power asset trading, recently closed a seed funding round. Amber Group is among the disclosed investors, with the funding amount remaining undisclosed. The capital will be used to accelerate the development of perpetual contracts for exotic assets such as computing power assets and East Asian stocks, expand Compute-Led Real World Assets (RWA) trading pairs including chips and storage, advance research and development of the "Financial World Model", deepen the development and deployment of trusted AI agent trading engines, expand global markets and multilateral ecosystem construction, and launch trading promotion incentive programs. It is understood that Travix is a next-generation PerpDEX protocol built on a modular blockchain architecture, adopting a hybrid framework of off-chain high-performance matching and on-chain settlement, enabling millisecond-level processing efficiency, and introducing a unified account management model. Its core focuses include: computing power asset perpetual contracts supporting trading of hardware assets like H100 chips and storage; the Financial World Model, which converts probabilistic events such as policy implementation and product launches into quantifiable event trading signals; and trusted AI agent trading, which lets users deploy automated strategies via an Agent Engine. Travix states its goal is to integrate computing power assets, probabilistic trading, and trusted agents, building a next-generation decentralized perpetual contract gateway that embodies "trading as understanding the world".

A slew of new large language models (LLMs) are set to launch this week, with GPT-6 Sol, Opus 5.5, and Grok 4.7 all waiting in the pipeline.

Beating AI News Flash: This week may bring a flurry of large language model (LLM) updates, with at least 7 models showing signs of release or testing. Tier 1: GPT-6 Sol, Claude Opus 5.5. OpenAI has not confirmed GPT-6 Sol, but Sam Altman previously noted the "major product" originally scheduled for launch last week was delayed to this week; recent community leaks have pointed to GPT-6 Sol testing and gradual rollouts. For Anthropic, blogger Lyra said Opus 5.5 is being tested under the code name claude-wafer-eap, with a planned Tuesday release. Reuters reported last week that Anthropic is considering a new model launch soon, but did not confirm the Opus 5.5 name. Tier 2: Grok 4.7, Qwen4, Kimi K3.1. Elon Musk initially said Grok 4.7 would launch around September 12, later adding it would take "a few more days", and it remains unreleased. Qwen’s developer has clarified that Qwen3.8-Flash-Next is an early preview of the Qwen4 architecture, and the Yunqi Conference is set for September 22-24, though no official announcement plans for Qwen4 at the event have been made. Kimi recently teased K3.1 via a π hint, but no release date, model specifications, or API details are available yet. Tier 3: Gemini 4 Pro, DeepSeek V4.1 Pro. Gemini 4 Pro has been leaked recently to be tested under code names like Argon on Arena, but Google has only confirmed Gemini 4 is in development, with no release date disclosed. DeepSeek has directly referenced the upcoming V4.1 Pro in its official documentation, but also has not provided a launch timeline.
