Crypto News Today: Trump GOLD Token Denied, Polygon Security Flaws Revealed, Stellar RWA Hits $4B

Real Trump Coins has publicly distanced itself from the Trump Digital GOLD token, denying any involvement in launching, promoting, or authorizing the Solana-based asset. The company attributed the token's appearance on its X account and RealTrumpCoins.com to 'third-party bad actors' and stated it is coordinating with authorities to investigate. Promotional posts for GOLD were subsequently deleted, though RealTrumpCoins.com was still advertising the token at the time of publication. The account also redirected users to a separate domain, TrumpCoins.com, raising questions about the relationship between the two platforms. Notably, President Trump continues to follow the Real Trump Coins X account, one of only 53 accounts on his follow list.

Polygon has disclosed several previously private security vulnerabilities affecting its proof-of-stake network, with fixes already deployed through the Austin and Kyoto hard forks. The flaws impacted Polygon's Bor and Heimdall clients and included denial-of-service risks, validator resource exhaustion, and bugs in checkpoint and milestone processing. Polygon confirmed the vulnerabilities were never exploited on mainnet, but nodes running outdated client versions past the hard fork activation heights have fallen out of consensus and must upgrade to rejoin the network. The coordinated disclosure highlights ongoing security maintenance across major blockchain infrastructure.

Stellar's tokenized real-world asset market has surged roughly 360% in 2026, reaching $3.996 billion as of August 29, up from $868.8 million at the end of last year. The growth spans US Treasurys, private and public credit, non-US government debt, and other asset classes, reflecting accelerating institutional adoption of Stellar-based tokenization. Separately, tokenized stock activity saw a sharp increase over the preceding 30 days, signaling broader momentum in bringing traditional equities on-chain across multiple blockchain networks.
