UnionBank of the Philippines has finalised the consolidation of its trust subsidiary with ATRAM Trust Corporation (ATC).

The merger between ATC and UnionBank Investment Management and Trust Corporation (UBIMTC) officially took effect on 9 January 2026, following approvals from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Under the agreement, ATC serves as the surviving entity, assuming all investment management and fiduciary responsibilities previously held by UnionBank’s trust arm.

The transaction aligns with UnionBank’s strategy to leverage partnerships for scaling specialised financial services while maintaining its focus on digital banking and platform-driven growth.

By integrating with ATC, UnionBank aims to embed external investment management expertise into its ecosystem.

This collaboration allows the bank’s clients to access a broader suite of wealth and trust solutions, supported by UnionBank’s digital infrastructure and customer reach.

Deanno Basas, President of ATRAM Trust Corporation, noted that the transaction combines two institutions with “complementary strengths”.

The deal signals a preference for collaboration over in-house expansion in highly specialised segments like asset management.

The ATRAM Group continues to operate mutual funds through ATR Asset Management Inc., alongside the consolidated trust services under ATC.

Botanix launches stBTC to deliver Bitcoin-native yield

The post Botanix launches stBTC to deliver Bitcoin-native yield appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Botanix Labs has launched stBTC, a liquid staking token designed to turn Bitcoin into a yield-bearing asset by redistributing network gas fees directly to users. The protocol will begin yield accrual later this week, with its Genesis Vault scheduled to open on Sept. 25, capped at 50 BTC. The initiative marks one of the first attempts to generate Bitcoin-native yield without relying on inflationary token models or centralized custodians. stBTC works by allowing users to deposit Bitcoin into Botanix’s permissionless smart contract, receiving stBTC tokens that represent their share of the staking vault. As transactions occur, 50% of Botanix network gas fees, paid in BTC, flow back to stBTC holders. Over time, the value of stBTC increases relative to BTC, enabling users to redeem their original deposit plus yield. Botanix estimates early returns could reach 20–50% annually before stabilizing around 6–8%, a level similar to Ethereum staking but fully denominated in Bitcoin. Botanix says that security audits have been completed by Spearbit and Sigma Prime, and the protocol is built on the EIP-4626 vault standard, which also underpins Ethereum-based staking products. The company’s Spiderchain architecture, operated by 16 independent entities including Galaxy, Alchemy, and Fireblocks, secures the network. If adoption grows, Botanix argues the system could make Bitcoin a productive, composable asset for decentralized finance, while reinforcing network consensus. This is a developing story.
