Tokenization is reshaping regulated finance by moving assets onto programmable ledgers, delivering efficiency gains but requiring strong policy and trust anchors to protect stability. Read our new IMF Note on the issue: https://t.co/JnpWurNJos

[Gilbert Verdian @gverdian]

The global #financialsystem is entering a new phase.

#Banks, market infrastructures, and institutions are moving from #tokenisation pilots to regulated production. But:

- Tokenised money and tokenised assets still can’t settle with each other natively.
- Each network uses its own technology and compliance model.
- Settlement processes remain fragmented, manual, and non-deterministic.

Regulators expect #programmability with control, where logic executes safely under supervision.

The Reserve Bank of Australia's CBDC Project Acacia may be one of the most advanced yet

Beyond Australia's central bank, we also see:

• Australian Securities Commission
• Australian Treasury

That's not even mentioning industry participants

That's why seeing $HBAR & $RBNT being selected as the 2 public DLTs here is such an exciting feat.

The overall premise of Project Acacia is to test tokenized money with tokenized assets.

There'll be 4 specific asset classes they'll be testing against including:

• Private Markets
• Trade Recievables
• Fixed Income
• Carbon Markets

Beyond Hedera and Redbelly Network, the other 2 DLTs in this project are R3 Corda & Canvas Connect.

Both of which are private permissioned DLTs.

It's no surprise to see R3 Corda here given that they've been a purpose built DLT for FinTech innovations.

As a result we've seen Corda used as the base layer for countless CBDCs over the years.

What's eye opening about Acacia is that it tests both public and private blockchains together.

But why Hedera & Redbelly specifically?

Well Redbelly's case is quite interesting, as it was almost written on the wall they'd be selected for this.

This is because Redbelly has actually been in development since 2016.

And this is further visible as Redbelly Network is directly included in Australia's National Blockchain Roadmap.

Additionally Redbelly has received funding from the Australian Research Council.

Pair that off with Redbelly being a joint venture between the University of Sydney and Australia's national science agency...

The picture behind Redbelly being Australia's blockchain becomes real clear.

Then there's the case with Hedera...

Last year we'd actually seen both Hedera and Ripple participate in a CBDC case study by the Reserve Bank of Aus & DFCRC.

So Project Acacia isn't Hedera's first rodeo down south.

On top of this Australian Payments Plus isn't just a Hedera council member.

As the name might suggest, they're also a pretty critical piece of Australia's payment economy.

How critical?

Well 3 of Australia's biggest payment providers in BPAY, EFTPOS & New Payments Platform had merged together to form what is Australian Payments Plus today.

And today, the merged entity is responsible for over 70% of Australian retail payments.

When all this is factored in, it's easy to see why Hedera was also included.

On top of this it's worth mentioning that Australian Payments Plus' tie with Hedera isn't only with the council.

But Hedera's private network HashSphere is currently also being tested by AP+.
–––––––––

We're in the end-game phase of CBDC tests,

So it makes sense why Project Acacia is one of the most advanced we'd seen yet.

And the fact that both Hedera and Redbelly will be playing a role?

A pretty clear sign of how the future of Financial DLT landscape plays out for central bank infrastructure🌐

In 2023, I thought $QNT had the perfect year

We saw Project Rosalind & other CBDC pilots inspired by it like Sela & eKRW.

By the end of 2024 I was proven wrong.

The UK RLN brought the BIGGEST commercial bank DLT infrastructure yet, orchestrated by Overledger

Now it's 2025 & I've since learnt to just shut up...

We're a little over halfway through the year and the announcements have been damn near unbelievable.

• Powering Oracle's Blockchain infrastructure
• Partner with Euro Central Bank for Digital Euro
• Release of Overledger Fusion requiring QNT utility
• Bank of England RTGS Renewal to fit DLT use
• Bank of England emphasizing DLT interoperability

All this in the middle of a bull market?!

Things have never been more exciting

[🥖Tokenicer✲⥃⬢ @Tokenicer]

Most DLT projects in finance focus on 1-2 specific areas

$HBAR is simply attacking all things finance at once

CBDC Infrastructure- EMTECH
Loyalty Points- Mondelez
Consumer Payments- SKUx
Micropayments- Dropp
Retail Payments- Aus Pay +
Stablecoin Payments- Shinhan Bank
Forex: Aberdeen x Lloyds
Tokenized Assets: Archax
Real Estate: OpenBrick (SIX Group)
Wills & Inheritances: DIFC Courts
Cross Border: Novatti
Venture: Saudi Ministry of Investment

Finance goes beyond just markets, payments and tokenization.

You gotta account for moving to DLT based financial infrastructure and all the plumbing around it.

And that's exactly what the Hedera ecosystem's done.

[🥖Tokenicer✲⥃⬢ @Tokenicer]

🏦🇸🇬Great to see Monetary Authority Singapore directly citing $HBAR when mentioning Layer 1s

The Monetary Auth Singapore had put out a report on digital token services & here they're discussing value transfer with digital tokens.

We know MAS has tested Hedera via Novatti prior.

They mention Layer 1 networks as the infrastructure backbone... The only L1 they mention is Hedera...🤔

This obviously doesn't signal a direct partnership.

But it is quite interesting when you think about it.

They could've cited any large scale L1 chain like Ethereum, Solana, XRPL, Cardano, etc.

Ones that are more known in mainstream markets.

Yet they chose Hedera...

As mentioned MAS has confirmed trialed cross border payments with Hedera Hashgraph via Novatti.

On top of this we've seen Singapore IMDA, another government arm, integrate Hedera into TradeTrust, which is their trade infrastructure for digital trade finance.

It definitely looks like things are spicing up between Hedera & Singapore👀

🇬🇧 Lloyds Bank's making serious moves into Enterprise DLT.

This is no small feat as Lloyds is largest UK retail bank, with roots dating back to the 1700s.

These aren't just “bank tests blockchain” headlines.

$QNT = Shared ledger for commercial banks
$XDC = First ever UK EDTA compliant trade
$HBAR = Tokenized foreign exchange settlement

A financial dinosaur by age, but not by mindset.

They've survived this long for a reason & it's been by adapting with the ever evolving world of finance.

Instead of fighting the shift, Lloyds is wiring it in

Testing real rails for digital payments, paperless trade, & tokenized assets across Enterprise DLT.

Start with trade.

Through Enigio on XDC, Lloyds ran the first UK‑legal paperless trade under the Electronic Trade Documents Act (EDTA).

It’s MLETR‑aligned by design, which is why this sets the template for other jurisdictions to begin adopting digital paperless global trade.

Move to money.

In UK Finance & EY’s Regulated Liability Network pilots, Lloyds sat alongside HSBC, Barclays, Citi, Santander, NatWest.

On top of this leading payment providers & FinTechs like Visa, Mastercard, Banfico & Coadjute were in the mix.

The aim was a shared ledger for for tokenized deposits and tokenized assets wired to legacy rails.

What made all of this possible? None other than Overledger's agnostic interoperability.

Quant's Overledger was responsible for all the orchestration so banks and PSPs could actually transact across one coordinated fabric.

Last but not least settlement.

Just recently we saw Lloyds team with Aberdeen & Archax for testing UK tokenized settlements.

This operation used a tokenized Aberdeen money market fund against a tokenized UK digital bond.

While tested outside the Bank of England's UK Digital Securities Sandbox, the alignment was clearly visible.

The trade was executed by Archax, with all tokenized components and assets being hosted on Hedera.

NEW— $PLTR partners with @TheNuclearCo on a 100M, five year deal to build a real-time software system exclusively for nuclear construction 🔮☢️

The partnership comes as China builds 10 GW of reactors annually while America has built just 2 GW in the last three decades 😳

Palantir Head of Defense @chairmang:
“The future of energy security and sovereignty will be shaped by our ability to deploy advanced technologies at scale”

“This partnership marks the first time Palantir’s software will be used to help power the next generation of nuclear energy infrastructure. By integrating our operating system with The Nuclear Company’s ambitious vision, we are laying the foundation for a new era of resilient, intelligent and secure energy systems in the United States and beyond.”

Nuclear Company Founder & CEO Jonathan Webb:
“With Palantir, we have a technology partner who shares our sense of urgency and understands that nuclear isn’t just an energy issue — it’s a national security imperative. NOS is how we finally break the cycle of delays, deliver a new energy future, and protect America’s nuclear leadership from China, so we don’t lose it like we did manufacturing decades ago.”

$XDC is officially in the big leagues of global trade

Lloyds: 1st ever UK EDTA trade & used XDC
UN: Approve XDC compliance to MLETR
ITFA: Consortium for trade institutions
ICC: Governs global trade standards
WTO: Oversees global trade rules
JP Morgan: Top bank worldwide

This goes beyond just collaborating with F500s,

We're talking multi-governmental bodies,

Pioneering new digital trade compliance laws,

Being the ONLY public DLT in a global trade consortium built with top institutions & policymakers.

The big names in the room are taking XDC seriously🔌

[Gilbert Verdian @gverdian]

Great Digital Assets conference at Goldman Sachs today.

Traditional finance and institutions have wholly adopted digital finance, blockchains and tokens.

2025 is the year the regulation is clear and institutions have entered the digital assets market.

[🥖Tokenicer✲⥃⬢ @Tokenicer]

🌐The ties with $QNT x Oracle go beyond just being the backbone for Oracle's Digital Asset Platform.

Oracle's shown full compliance towards the standards that Quant's built & is integrating accordingly so

Let's take a Deep Dive beyond the optics🧵⬇️

[🥖Tokenicer✲⥃⬢ @Tokenicer]

🪙AUDD's the newest stablecoin to launch on $HBAR

Over the past couple years we've seen some exciting stablecoin adoption & innovation on the Hashgraph

Novatti- AUDC in Monetary Auth Singapore tests
UnionBank- 1st public DLT Philippines stablecoin
WorldPay- Stablecoin Proof of Reserves
Shinhan- Cross border FX stablecoin w SCB Thai

And now we can add AUDD to the list.

As you may have guessed AUDD is an Australian Stablecoin.

And as we know Hedera's also 1 of 4 DLTs shortlisted in Australia's Project Acacia👀

[🥖Tokenicer✲⥃⬢ @Tokenicer]

$QNT being crowned the Best Programmable Payments Platform sure has a nice ring to it👑

• UK Regulated Liability Network
• Oracle Blockchain Platform
• Quant Flow + Overledger Fusion
• Bank of England RTGS Renewal
• Digital Euro Partner

Safe to say they're QUITE deserving of this award.

Reminder that winners of other respective awards included names like Visa, Circle, JP Morgan.

In other words... All multi billion dollar financial giants

Quant is in good company these days😎

[🥖Tokenicer✲⥃⬢ @Tokenicer]

The past 2 years have shown clear evidence of industry giants adopting DLT

By now it's just a waiting game

Take a look at all that's happened

• Oracle's entire DLT infrastructure is on $QNT
• DIFC & DFSA approved $XRP & RLUSD in Dubai
• NVIDIA & Intel chose $HBAR for trust via EQTY
• Tokenized IPOs & tokenized energy on $ALGO
• JP Morgan & Lloyds use Enigio on $XDC
• Tokenization & payment firms on $XLM
• The EU approved trust registry by $CHEQ
• WEF/Trade-Africa & more building on $IOTA
• Asset management using $ONDO for RWAs
• United Nations & Cambodia Govt using $ICP
• SWIFT testing and using $LINK for RWAs
• US Dept of Defense x $DAG official contract
• Stability AI, Apple & more all using $RENDER
• Ant Group tokenizing ESG assets on $SUI

There are countless industry verticals now all beginning to converge with blockchain adoption

And the global leaders clearly see this...

Expect this trend to only continue as time goes on.

🏦The Bank for International Settlements sits at the pinnacle in the world of banking

They're the central bank of central banks for a reason

This is why seeing them having utilized BOTH $QNT & $XLM in their CBDC tests have been so interesting

Quant = Project Rosalind
Stellar = Project Genesis

Both these networks have obviously proven their utility and presence in the world of FinTech over the years.

Overledger has served as a standardized API communication layer for banks, govs & FinTechs.

Whereas Stellar's infrastructure has continued to serve world class levels of banking the unbanked and payment infrastructure worldwide.

And the BIS has clearly been paying attention.

Project Rosalind brought the first of it's kind in an API enabled CBDC architecture.

This enabled a CBDC ecosystem with various layers across central banks, service providers, all the way down to the retail layer.

In return we saw entities such as Amazon, Mastercard, Barclays, Bank of Canada, Revolut & more all able to easily plug in and participate in Rosalind's ecosystem.

On the other hand Project Genesis was tested between the BIS & Hong Kong Monetary Authority.

The focus here was on testing transfer of value and assets with a focus on green finance.

In this case the assets were registered and transferred across none other than the Stellar blockchain.

But Genesis went beyond just assets as it also included public wallet creation, IDs, settlement, transfers, etc.

Within this test Stellar was used as the main source of trust for facilitating transactions and changes in ownership structures.

Interestingly enough the method of interoperability here, much like Rosalind used standardized APIs.

And as we've seen in the past, Stellar has also built a connector into Hyperledger Cacti.

HL Cacti has been building to comply with SATP for the past few years under the Linux Foundation's guidance.

It's clear how the BIS has aligned themselves with the future of a unified interoperable financial system.
–––––––––––

Stellar & Quant have shown years of dominance in regards to FinTech DLT in their own respective ways.

From banking the unbanked, to connecting the world of finance to DLT.

These are key areas leaders in the world of finance have recognized and continue to build on.

And as we can see, the BIS clearly recognizes just how well these two fit into that future.

[🥖Tokenicer✲⥃⬢ @Tokenicer]

$XDC is probably the "ISO Coin" I see get the least hate

And I think there's a good reason to it... They simply stay in their own lane and build for pure utility.

Their focus isn't hype narratives w 50+ competitors

It's purely "Tokenization of Global Trade"

It's not sexy, but the utility is VERY real and we're already beginning to see their wings spread

There's nothing else that's quite in their lane with regards to the public DLT space

And well... When we look to what Global Elites think, we see they're just as bullish on XDC as we are.

As we've discussed in the past, names like the United Nations, World Trade Organization, Digital Standards Initiative & so many more have already shown their backings for XDC Network.

And well even with regards to sovereign national governments we've seen the same.

From the UK with EDTA, to Singapore's IMDA, to Zanzibar's sandbox & so many more.

The purpose is relatively the same for every use case

It's simply establishing blockchain infrastructure for the oncoming age of digital trade.

If we're looking at it from a fundamental perspective, it's true that XDC does indeed play into RWA Tokenization.

But the thing is that XDC doesn't conform to the narratives, rather XDC's always been focused on this...

It just so happens that tokenization is now such a trending topic in this space.

That's the beauty to what XDC is doing.

They're not bending over to fit some narrative

The rising trend of RWA Tokenization just so happens to fit like a glove with all XDC is doing

[T @TorayKortan]

CEO of the world’s largest asset management firm suddenly decides to be a very kind loving man and provide deeply generous (no ulterior motive) financial advice for retail traders to gain a competitive advantage.

Yeah I didn’t think that sounded realistic either.
