#56 - January 2026 Development update
Welcome to the 26th official newsletter from Beam.
Welcome to the official newsletter from Beam.
In our previous newsletter, we published another treasury report, showed you our fresh new dashboard for the Beam Nodes, and an update around Beam Tactile. Since then, Dreamcash has done a number of exciting announcements and we share our recap of 2025, and our outlook for 2026.
Read on for a summary of what’s been happening and what’s to come!
Dreamcash is now widely available including CASH: RWA Perpetuals
Dreamcash has officially opened its doors to a wide audience, with over 110,000 users now on the platform. Since launch, the app has processed more than $2 billion in trading volume, with thousands of traders actively using it daily.
The team has also partnered with Selini Capital and Tether to bring CASH RWA perpetual markets to the Hyperliquid ecosystem, available natively within the Dreamcash app and on Hyperliquid. This collaboration marks a significant step in bridging traditional assets with DeFi infrastructure.
Looking ahead, a webapp is on the horizon alongside an incentive program designed to reward active traders.
Looking back at 2025
In our tradition of looking back at our previous year, it’s often hard not to get a little nostalgic. That feeling isn’t there when you’re only just starting out, and everyone is just getting to know who you are. But today, we’re in a position where everyone knows who Beam is. We’ve done so much and worked with so many people, we can already look back at incredible achievements.
Read the full recap here.
Looking forward into 2026
Fellow enjoyers of the frontier, welcome back. We’re once again looking forward to the upcoming year, and it’s a year that we shall not forget soon. We’ve laid out the groundwork in the last year for the next twelve months to become nothing but spectacular. Through various catalysts like Beam Ventures, Dreamcash and [redacted] we aim to establish the Beam brand even firmer.
The Genius Act: What it means for stablecoins
Following our last legal briefing on the EU AI Act and its contractual implications, we now turn to another major regulatory development, this time from the United States. The recently enacted GENIUS Act (Public Law 119–27) introduces the first comprehensive federal framework for stablecoins, setting the tone for how digital assets will be governed in the world’s largest financial market.
If you issue, list, custody, trade, or use stablecoins in or into the U.S., here’s what you need to know.
Together, we grow
Another action-packed couple of months in the books. Dreamcash crossing 110,000 users and $2 billion in volume is just the beginning, with RWA perpetuals now live, a webapp on the way, and an incentive program in the works, there’s plenty more to come.
Add Beam Ventures and a few surprises we’re not quite ready to share, and 2026 is shaping up to be our biggest year yet.
Together, we’re changing the game!
Our next newsletter will be sent March 2026.
