[Carmelo Ippolito (3e,e3) @Ark_carmelo]

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us during our meetups in Bangkok, Pattaya, and Kuala Lumpur 🙌

Seeing the passion, energy, and support from this community reminded us why we started this journey in the first place. Your belief in what we’re building motivates us to keep pushing harder every single day.

The formation of Defend Developers PAC suggests that legal protections for blockchain developers and DeFi builders are becoming a more organized political issue.

With funding from crypto founders and industry participants, the group aims to influence upcoming elections and support lawmakers who favor developer protections.

If those efforts gain traction, they could have an impact on the final shape of the CLARITY Act and broader U.S. crypto regulation.

🚨 NEW PAC TO BACK LAWMAKERS WHO PROTECT CRYPTO DEVELOPERS

A new group called Defend Developers PAC will support members of Congress who back legal protections for blockchain developers and DeFi builders.

The PAC plans to spend over six figures across dozens of midterm races, funded mainly by crypto founders, builders and executives.

Its support could help push developer protections into the final version of the CLARITY Act.

Another strong signal that stablecoins are moving further into mainstream finance.

The involvement of Visa, Mastercard, and Stripe highlights growing interest in building payment infrastructure around digital dollars.

As global payment networks continue integrating stablecoin technology, the line between traditional finance and blockchain-based payments keeps getting thinner.

[Watcher.Guru @WatcherGuru]

JUST IN: Visa, Mastercard and Stripe to launch crypto stablecoin platform.

🚨TETHER LAUNCHES GOLD-BACKED VISA CARD

The CLARITY Act taking its place on the Senate Legislative Calendar is another meaningful step forward in the process.

After months of debate and revisions, attention now turns to whether lawmakers can turn momentum into final approval.

For the digital asset industry, clearer regulatory frameworks remain one of the most closely watched developments.

[Bitcoin Magazine @BitcoinMagazine]

NEW: 🇺🇸 The Clarity Act has now been placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar 👀

Let's get this landmark legislation approved 👏

[Carmelo Ippolito (3e,e3) @Ark_carmelo]

Interesting projection from Citigroup.

An $8.2 trillion tokenized asset market by 2030 would represent a massive shift in how financial assets are issued, transferred, and settled.

It's also notable that Chainlink's CCIP is being highlighted as a potential interoperability standard, underscoring how important cross-chain connectivity may become as tokenized markets continue to expand.

Another sign of crypto markets becoming increasingly institutional.

CME Group has now officially moved crypto futures and options trading to a 24/7 model, with thousands of contracts traded during the first weekend alone.

As traditional market infrastructure adapts to the always-on nature of digital assets, the gap between crypto markets and legacy finance continues to narrow.

Big signal from SWIFT.

With more than 50 major banks reportedly backing crypto-enabled rails for cross-border payments, the conversation is clearly shifting from experimentation to implementation.

The involvement of institutions such as Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, Bank of China, and SBI Holdings highlights the growing interest in modernizing global payment infrastructure.

For an industry that moves trillions of dollars each year, even gradual adoption could have a meaningful impact on how international payments are settled.

[Coin Bureau @coinbureau]

🚨HUGE: SWIFT confirms over 50 major banks will implement CRYPTO rails for cross-border payments.

Bank of America, JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank, Bank of China and SBI are among the banks backing the initiative, with over 25 set to begin processing payments by June.

🇭🇰 ADOPTION: Hong Kong is expanding its digital asset ecosystem with tokenization, crypto products, and blockchain infrastructure.

[Carmelo Ippolito (3e,e3) @Ark_carmelo]

Notable development for Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation and Stellar Development Foundation.

Being selected as the first public blockchain connected to DTCC’s upcoming tokenized securities settlement platform is a significant milestone.

If tokenized assets begin settling through this infrastructure in 2027, it would represent another step toward integrating public blockchain networks with traditional capital markets.

[Coin Bureau @coinbureau]

🔥BULLISH: The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) selected Stellar as the first public blockchain connected to its upcoming tokenized securities settlement platform.
