XYO layer 1 blockchain launches alongside XL1 utility token

2025/09/16 20:58

XYO has launched XYO Layer 1, a blockchain for high-volume, real-time data applications, introducing a dual-token model with XYO for governance and XL1 for network utility.

Summary
  • XYO Layer 1 is a new blockchain designed to handle large-scale, real-time data for AI, logistics, cloud services, and tokenized assets, solving inefficiencies in existing networks.
  • The launch also introduces a dual-token system, with the new XL1 token handling network utility alongside the original XYO token, which continues to serve governance and long-term ecosystem roles.

XYO, the first and one of the largest DePIN project with over 10 million nodes worldwide, has launched XYO Layer 1.

The blockchain is designed to support industries that rely on large-scale, real-time data, such as AI, logistics, cloud services, and tokenized RWAs, offering accurate, verifiable data at scale for developers, businesses, and everyday users. For example, AI companies can use XYO Layer 1 to access continuous streams of validated data for training models, while logistics firms can track shipments in real time with verified location and environmental information, improving efficiency and decision-making.

According to a press release shared with crypto.news, XYO decided to launch its own blockchain after 7+ years in the industry, as existing networks could not meet the demands of high-efficiency, data-focused applications.

XL1 launches as XYO layer 1’s native token

Alongside the launch of Layer 1, XYO has introduced a dual-token system to complement its original XYO token, which was launched in 2018 and serves as the primary token for DePIN rewards, governance, payment, security and staking roles.

The new XL1 token will serve as the native token of XYO Layer 1, enabling everyday network functions such as gas fee payments, transaction processing, blockchain operations, priority fees, and rewards for node operators.

XL1 is earned by staking XYO, which locks the original token within the XYO Layer 1 ecosystem. This staking and reward system is expected to keep a substantial portion of XYO’s circulating supply locked long-term, ensuring ongoing network security, stability, and alignment of incentives for participants within the ecosystem.

XYO will first migrate its own products to the new Layer One, followed by key partners.

Crypto On Alert: Raoul Pal Hints At Macro Twist Post-US Govt Shutdown

As the latest US government shutdown ends and markets refocus on macro plumbing, Raoul Pal has sketched out a strikingly liquidity-heavy roadmap on X – one that, in his framework, has direct implications for crypto. “So now the US Gov has reopened, what’s next?” Pal asks. He immediately points to the Treasury General Account (TGA): “Expect a few days for TGA spending to begin to significantly add to liquidity and should persist for several months.Obviously, QT ends in Dec and the balance sheet will crawl higher. We should see the dollar begin to weaken again.” Mechanically, TGA drawdowns push cash back into bank reserves and money markets, reversing the reserve drain that built up while the government was partially shut. At the same time, the Federal Reserve has already confirmed that quantitative tightening (QT) will end on December 1, 2025, shifting from active balance-sheet reduction to full reinvestment of maturing Treasuries and a more “maintenance” stance. When Will Crypto Prices Rise Again? Pal’s point is that both channels tilt the system toward more dollars sloshing through funding markets, a backdrop he has long argued is constructive for risk assets, including crypto. The near-term risk, in his view, is a classic year-end funding squeeze. “The next key step is to avoid a Year End funding squeeze. Expect several ‘temporary’ measures to add liquidity. Term Funding and SRF operations are most likely.” Related Reading: SEC Chair Sets Out Plans For Crypto Taxonomy To Define Digital Asset Classification Here he is referring to term repo or funding facilities and the Standing Repo Facility (SRF), which the Fed can scale up to backstop banks’ access to cash if overnight rates spike. That reading aligns with recent Fed communication that elevated SRF usage and tighter money-market conditions were central reasons for ending QT early. Pal then escalates from tactical tools to structural regulation: “That will eventually morph into the desperately needed changes to the SLR to allow banks to absorb more issuance and re-lever their balance sheets. This is a big liquidity bazooka. Expect in Q1. SLR should lower rates as banks buy more bonds.” The Supplementary Leverage Ratio (SLR) caps large banks’ overall balance-sheet size, regardless of asset risk. Loosening it for Treasuries and reserves has been debated for years as a way to let dealers warehouse more government debt without breaching constraints. If regulators move in that direction, it would, as Pal notes, free capacity for banks to buy more bonds and could exert downward pressure on yields—again easing financial conditions. Related Reading: The 2025 Year-End Crypto Outlook: The Catalysts That Will Decide Everything For crypto, that matters indirectly: Pal’s core macro thesis is that improving liquidity and lower real yields are the primary tailwinds for digital assets. Regulation is explicitly on his radar too: “Also expect CLARITY Act for crypto to begin to get finalized.” The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 (“CLARITY Act”) has already passed the US House and is now before the Senate. It would define digital asset categories and divide oversight between the CFTC and SEC, replacing much of the current “regulation by enforcement” model. Pal’s remark signals his expectation that the shutdown’s end clears the way for renewed legislative momentum – a key piece of the institutional puzzle for non-bitcoin crypto. He closes by broadening the lens to global and fiscal policy: “There will also be stimulus payments and the Big Beautiful Bill fiscal goosing. China will continue balance sheet expansion. Europe will add fiscal stimulus or extra spending. The debts must be rolled and the Gov wants to super heat the economy into the Mid-Terms. This is the Liquidity Flood…. the spice must flow.” Taken together, Pal is describing a synchronised regime: post-shutdown TGA spending, the end of QT, potential SLR relief, progressing US crypto legislation, and ongoing fiscal and monetary support in China and Europe. For crypto investors who share his liquidity-centric lens, the message is not subtle: the macro “spice,” in his view, is about to flow again. At press time, the total crypto market cap dropped to $3.24 trillion. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
