first_img VanEck rated the executive compensation of Metaplanet as "poor," with dilution risks far exceeding those of peers

On Friday, asset management company VanEck released a report on the compensation of executives at the top ten digital asset treasury companies, rating the compensation structure of the Japanese Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet as "poor," making it the only company to fall into the lowest rating. The report shows that Metaplanet's equity plan corresponds to 14.7% of fully diluted shares, with executive risk exposure at 8.2%, which is ten times the average level of 0.8% for the other nine companies, and the scale of the equity plan is also nearly four times the industry average.In comparison, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, Strategy, has an equity plan that accounts for only 2% of fully diluted shares, with executive risk exposure at 0.5%, and its compensation structure rated as "good." Metaplanet currently ranks third among publicly listed companies in Bitcoin holdings with 43,000 BTC. VanEck pointed out that the gap partly stems from Metaplanet's previous compensation mechanism: the option pool automatically expanded when the company issued shares to purchase Bitcoin, causing it to swell from 46 million shares to 319.5 million shares, adding approximately 273 million potential shares, which drew criticism from shareholders at the time.Metaplanet terminated the automatic adjustment mechanism at the end of August and reduced the option pool by 41% to 188.2 million shares in September, but VanEck believes these adjustments are still "far from satisfactory," calling for the retraction of the expansion of approximately 273 million shares in favor of a shareholder-approved compensation plan, while also suggesting that executive compensation be linked to the number of Bitcoins corresponding to each fully diluted share and adopting a written grant timing policy.

first_img Ripple: Asset management institutions are preparing for the payment upgrade Batch V1.1 of the XRP Ledger

According to CoinDesk, Ripple stated that asset management companies and other commercial projects are preparing to use the Batch V1.1 feature of the XRP Ledger. This feature allows up to eight transactions to be combined into a single operation and ensures that all transactions either succeed or fail in an all-or-nothing manner, avoiding situations where one party completes settlement while the other fails.This upgrade is expected to support Delivery Versus Payment (DVP) transactions, allowing asset transfers and payments to be completed simultaneously, while also enabling exchanges, wallets, and market platforms to directly attach service fees to customer transactions for processing.RippleX Engineering Director Ayo Akinyele mentioned that some projects are already being developed around Batch, and once activated, it will bring related work closer to a production environment. Specific partners and launch times will be announced once plans are finalized. The amendment has received support from 30 of the 35 tracked validators on the XRP Ledger, exceeding the 28 votes required to enter the activation countdown. The countdown began on September 15, and if the validator support rate remains above 80% within 14 days, Batch V1.1 is expected to be activated shortly after September 29.Previously, researchers discovered serious flaws in the Batch V1 signature verification process in February, which could prematurely stop checking signatures under certain conditions, allowing attackers to unauthorizedly include transactions from other accounts. The developers subsequently withdrew the original version. Since the amendment had not yet been activated at that time, the vulnerability code did not run on the live ledger, and no funds were exposed.
