@OpenGDP This positioning differentiates OpenGDP from general-purpose smart contract platforms by focusing explicitly on economic output and coordination.
@OpenGDP is the champion
OpenGDP positions itself not as a single application ecosystem but as an economic substrate upon which decentralized finance protocols, tokenization platforms, and institutional systems can be built.

Bull or bear. Does not matter
@OpenGDP will rise
OpenGDP is building the global base layer where entire economies can be tokenized, exchanged, and coordinated at internet scale. One network. Real economic activity. Programmable $GDP.
Look at my quant!
At OpenGDP we have been shouting from the rooftops what legendary investor Michael Burry of “The Big Short” fame has recently discovered; tokenization is so 2026. “The most immediate shift is the move toward programmable… real-time settlement, enabled by tokenized cash, stablecoins, or CBDCs.”
The article comes so close to realizing the inherent function of tokenization; it is the prerequisite for programmable GDP.
Global financial services tokenized and coordinated onchain at Internet-scale. We invite you to join OpenGDP alongside our government, institutional, and startup partners in accelerating this shared vision.

In recent weeks, OpenGDP has achieved several notable milestones that we are excited to share: a complete brand refresh, a successful devnet launch of the first purpose-built EVM L1 for tokenizing, exchanging, and coordinating entire economies at internet scale, and a long-awaited announcement of $GDP.
Whether you are a returning user wondering about the rebrand or a recent explorer doing some discovery, the team at OpenGDP has a few places where we keep folks up to date.
- The website contains demos, products, blogs, and docs.
- Discord will continue to be a place for community events, support, and town halls.
- Telegram will be an announcement-only channel.
- X remains as the core channel for tokenization and programmable GDP in the global town square, sharing announcements, launches, use cases, tokenization takes, "This week in GDP" (coming soon), and much more.
OpenGDP Weekly Digest
Tokenization is officially in the mainstream, being utilized as foundation for the formation of programmable economic rails. Compliance, regulators, and market operators are now converging on crypto as infrastructure, not just pure speculation. This is why we built OpenGDP.
Here’s what moved the global economy closer to programmable GDP this week ⤵️
1.) Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent predicts 3% GDP growth
This forecast comes amidst a tariff filled and tumultuous year, including a contraction of economic activity in Q1 with a rebound in Q2. Capital efficiency, market access, and modern financial rails are increasingly cited as growth drivers by this administration, implying their priority of unlocking GDP through programmable market infrastructure.
2.) SEC Chairman Atkins: "US financial markets poised to move onchain."
In both an interview with Fox Global Markets editor Maria Bartiromo and a thread post to his official X account yesterday Chairman Atkins expressed his desire to embrace new tech, and maintain protections for investors. This is the regulatory posture required for financial services firms to feel comfortable deploying programmable infrastructure stacks; like those provided to our customers at OpenGDP.
3.) SEC approves DTCC tokenization of bonds, stocks, and treasuries
DTC received a "no action" letter from the SEC in regards to tokenizing assets in their custody. For reference, DTCC settles $3.7 Quadrillion annually and now their stated goal is to bridge defi and tradfi. The question becomes "Who captures value selling the rails to coordinate said assets?" At this scale the infrastructure would necessitate institutional grade security, native composability, and embedded compliance found only in a purpose-built OpenGDP base layer.
4.) IBKR begins allowing brokerage accounts to be funded with stablecoins
With over 600 billion in AUM IBKR is one of the largest brokerages globally. In an effort to align with crypto competition and innovation IBKR has made the decision to allow depositors to push stablecoins directly into their account. This is an operational endorsement of programmable GDP put into practice: money that moves like software inside regulated financial systems at internet scale.
5.) CFTC launching tokenized collateral pilot via GENIUS act
With the passing of the GENIUS act the CFTC has revised guidance around the use of tokenized collateral (BTC/ETH/stables) in derivatives trading. The "US Digital Assets Pilot Program" essentially allows the US to maintain pole position in the crypto arms race, reducing risk 24/7 for participants and advancing US dollar leadership with stablecoin development.
Tokenization is here - it’s where compliance, product, and regulation are actively converging across borders and institutions. The rails of global finance are being rewritten in real time, and they point toward a world where GDP itself becomes programmable.
Join us next week.

Tobias Adrian (@TobiasAdrian1) is the Financial Counsellor and Director of the Monetary and Capital Markets Department of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). In a recent panel at the Bank of Canada Annual Economic Conference he identifies a "structural transformation" in the way money moves across economies. Expectations of cheaper, faster, and more transparent digital payments have permeated from individual users to the largest financial institutions in the world.
Zooming in on the latter let us use the IMF as an example. They require the ability to transact with global banks and financial firms 24/7 in an integrated settlement environment as they search for "improved liquidity and settlement efficiency in multi-asset transactions." With the direction of the technology landscape as a whole, this cannot be a point solution; off or onchain.
The answer? The OpenGDP Network Stack (ONS) provides a compliant single platform where the IMF can spin up their own L1. Native global interop, opt-in privacy, and enshrined primitives that facilitate seamless asset tokenization, trading, and coordination day 1. With the ONS an L1 can be purpose-built for the needs of the IMF, or any major financial player.
Zooming out Tobias notes that the issue of finding a balance and a platform is three dimensional. Risk, technological capability, and public infrastructure are coming together in the form of tokenization services, big tech wallets, and government-led KYC.
While Tobias is on the right track - OpenGDP has already arrived at the destination. With OpenGDP all of the above can be solved on a single platform. Fully compliant tokenization modules, native market infrastructure, and institutional grade security that enterprises and nations can trust with the financial stabiliy of their populous.
How do we know? We are already working with nation-states across the globe who validate these use cases each and everyday.

Several weeks into Devnet, the experimentation, feedback, and product velocity have been phenomenal.
99% of major bugs + improvements have been incorporated across tokenization, exchange, and settlement infrastructure on one of the first parallel EVM L1s in existence. Feedback from institutional and government partners has been equally promising.
Some highlights so far:
- 44.6M+ transactions instantly settled under sustained load
- 1.5M+ market actions across tokenization and exchange infrastructure
- 15+ feature improvements (including a full market order refactor)
- 20+ bugs resolved (including authorization + cancellations)
- Active work is being done on the L1, market infrastructure (tokenization + exchange infrastructure), and UX.
Major improvements continue on L1 performance and reliability, with the OpenGDP API, SDK, ONS, and our next product coming in short order.
The infrastructure that supports fintechs, institutions, and nation-states with their financial services must be robust, reliable, and secure.
Devnet is just the first step in accelerating this vision.

Bloomberg (the most influential financial news outlet in the world) publishes that JPMorgan (the biggest bank in the world) is "exploring crypto trading for institutional clients." Safe to say that the big boys are taking notice. Interest from institutions in regulation, big wins, and news of crime is normal, but they are generally just taking a peak. Clients are the crown jewel of the bank. Allowing the richest in the world to trade derivatives and spot onchain would be a massive leap in acceptance and adoption.
As JPMorgan is a first mover the news lends itself to being bullish infrastructure providers, as desire to grow crypto business will only increase with demand. Regional banks, credit unions, and fintechs will need purpose-built tokenization solutions, exchange infrastructure, and payments platforms like OpenGDP. With Jamie Dimon warming up to the idea, the finance world will follow, and competition will come. Credit unions allowing for native defi yield via tokenized deposits. Regional banks expanding from their more focused selection of classic products to BTC, then to ETH, then all the way down the rabbit hole. Even nation-states will be able to provide reliable yield to their citizens backed by sovereign RWAs. Clients; whether it be a hedge fund, sovereign wealth, or the department of treasury, are demanding these products from their financial services providers.
OpenGDP is uniquely positioned to partner with enterprises and nation-states as they build and scope their coming crypto projects. Whether it be an existing solution we offer today, or the variety of products in the pipeline dictated by our compliance focused customers.
They all end up where JPMorgan is now. Meeting internally, reviewing, and asking themselves if they would like cheaper, faster, more available finance for their clients. The answer is yes, they do.
