Pendulum ecosystem advanced infrastructure for traditional finance integration in August. Vortex demonstrated multi-bridge crypto-to-fiat conversion spanning Polygon and Axelar to EUR via Pendulum and Stellar's Circle EURC.

The Pendulum ecosystem delivered concrete progress on bridging and fiat integration in August. Vortex, a crypto-to-fiat FX solution by SatoshiPay, demonstrated end-to-end conversion spanning Polygon, Axelar, Pendulum, and Stellar, converting USDC to EUR via Circle EURC and MYKOBO with settlement to European bank accounts. Spacewalk bridge capacity expanded to 12,000+ XLM, supporting Stellar users accessing Pendulum's DeFi. MYKOBO completed its asset migration from proprietary MYKOBO EURC to Circle's standard EURC, with integration guides for both Spacewalk and Stellar DEX. Pendulum added three new assets (BNC, VDOT, ASTR) in Subwallet. Governance included three active referendums: adding Circle EURC to Amplitude's Spacewalk, closing the inactive Equilibrium channel, and opening a channel request from Interlay.
