It is a pleasure to begin this journey with @KeetaNetwork , led by CEO @schenkty and supported by former Google CEO @ericschmidt. The UAE has always been a place that inspires ambition, innovation, and long-term thinking, and we are proud to play our part in that story. Through this partnership, we look forward to working hand in hand to contribute to the UAEās vision while helping strengthen cross-border connectivity and unlock the potential of real-world assets through technology. This is only the beginning, and I am excited for what we can build together for the benefit of our nation and beyond.
Theyāre announcing the tokenization of hundreds of billions of dollars of oil and gold from inside āThe Museum of the Futureā and youāre waiting for someone to tell you how insane this is?
This will be picked up by major news outlets. You heard it first on X.

Innovation thrives when visionary leadership and transformative technology come together. We are pleased to embark on this journey with Keeta, led by CEO Ty Schenk and supported by the confidence of former Google CEO Eric Schmidt. Together, we aim to contribute to UAEās vision for digital finance, cross border connectivity, and the tokenization of real world assets.
(1/9) Keeta and ASK Group @askgroupae, a UAE-based investment group led by His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Sultan bin Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan @asknahyan, have created a joint venture aiming to tokenize tens of billions of dollars of commodities and modernize cross-border payments in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region and beyond, contributing to the UAE's vision and commitment to growth as a global leader in digital finance and real-world asset infrastructure.
Others bolt compliance on. We didn't have to.
RWAs need verified ownership, real currency rails, and liquidity nobody controls. On Keeta, that's on-chain architecture, not an add-on.
The real-world assets that Wall Street ignores are getting a home.

āThis is one of those quiet collabs that's gonna make sense in hindsight. Keeta has the rails, Visa Direct has the distribution [ā¦] Just needs one big corridor to go live and everyone's gonna suddenly "discover" it šā
- says the guy literallly doing marketing for @VISADIRECT
I guess heās right, it will make sense in hindsight;) $KTA
The other day before a community call, Ty was playing music and Eye of the Tiger came on.
It got me thinking.
You know what Keeta reminds me of?
Rocky IV.
Everybody knows Rocky vs. the Russian.
The underdog versus the machine.
Rocky didnāt have the giant team.
He didnāt have unlimited funding.
He wasnāt the favorite.
The Russian had the resources, the technology, the backing, and everyone expected him to win.
Meanwhile Rocky was training in the snow, chopping wood, dragging sleds, and preparing for a fight most people thought he couldnāt win.
Thatās honestly how I see Keeta.
When Keeta entered the blockchain space, there were already established names everywhere.
XRP.
Stellar.
Canton.
Projects with larger teams, deeper pockets, bigger communities, and far more attention.
For a while Keeta got some recognition.
Then came the criticism.
The quiet months of building.
The FUD.
The doubts.
People said it would never work.
People said they would never change global finance.
People said the established players had already won.
Many wrote Keeta off.
But while most people werenāt paying attention, Keeta kept building.
Just two days ago Keeta Personal went live with functionality including:
⢠Direct deposit
⢠ACH debit
⢠IBANs
⢠SWIFT wires
⢠Visa Direct
⢠Digital fiat currencies
⢠Crypto integration
⢠FX conversion
⢠Multi currency financial accounts
Not promises.
A live product.
And in many ways, functionality that some of the biggest names in crypto still donāt have.
Does that mean Keeta wins?
No.
The fight is far from over.
There are still partner integrations, product releases, adoption, usage, and plenty of challenges ahead.
But when I look at Keeta today, I donāt see a project thatās been defeated.
I see an underdog that kept getting back up when people expected it to stay down.
And those are often the ones you donāt bet against.
As Rocky said:
āIt aināt about how hard you hit. Itās about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. Thatās how winning is done.ā
Weāll see whoās still standing when the final bell rings.

@FreedomGoblin92@haltechster@Cobo_Global Imagine spending hours daily loosing ur shit and spreading fud about a crypto project making urself look like a low life that doesnāt have anything better to doā¦. Just imagine that - does it sound familiar?
We get it you lost money or whatever - time log out and get over it
