Last cycle $LINK didn't have CCIP
Last cycle $LINK didn't have SWIFT
Last cycle $LINK didn't have DTCC
Last cycle $LINK was still just an oracle,
This cycle $LINK is the "Tokenized Settlement Layer"
If you’re freaking out about this pullback, don’t.
Eat a Snickers.
Then go watch my last YouTube video (which covered exactly this) and chill.

The final crossing of t’s and dotting of i’s – and what should be my last update on SEC v Ripple ever…
Last week, the SEC agreed to drop its appeal without conditions. @Ripple has now agreed to drop its cross-appeal. The SEC will keep $50M of the $125M fine (already in an interest-bearing escrow in cash), with the balance returned to Ripple. The agency will also ask the Court to lift the standard injunction that was imposed earlier at the SEC’s request. All subject to Commission vote, drafting of final documents and usual court processes.
That’s all folks!
This is it – the moment we’ve been waiting for. The SEC will drop its appeal – a resounding victory for Ripple, for crypto, every way you look at it.
The future is bright. Let's build.
"The exploratory phase is over; real-world applications of tokenization are here and will deliver a seismic shift in how our capital markets operate."
