How cool is it to see new devs learning about Algorand and what makes sense to build on it? 👀
Today, on day one of @WeAreDevs, @ganainmtech and @JorrinB led a workshop on building the agentic economy with x402 and stablecoins!
🚨🇪🇺 L'EUROPE LANCE UNE VASTE INSPECTION DES ACTEURS CRYPTO
L'Autorité européenne des marchés financiers (ESMA) a annoncé le lancement d'une vaste campagne de contrôle visant les entreprises de conservation de cryptomonnaies agréées sous MiCA.
Les régulateurs nationaux examineront notamment la gestion des clés privées, la sécurité des fonds, les procédures en cas d'incident ainsi que la dépendance à des prestataires tiers.
Cette campagne de supervision se déroulera jusqu'au premier semestre 2027.
🚨MANTLE LEAVES LEGACY BRIDGE TO MIGRATE TO $LINK!
@Mantle_Official announces they have migrated their $2.5B+ MNT token to @chainlink CCIP.
Just another cryptocurrency making it's way over to the goodside!
$LINK IS IN A LEAGUE OF ITS OWN!
Most crypto projects are lucky to get one partnership a month, @chainlink just done 3 in a day!
Now @truflation are using DataLink, @BULLBITCOIN_ using Data Streams & @OrochiNetwork using CCIP.
$LINK adoption is in a league of it's own!
🚨 $HBAR 🤝 $LINK
This recent post from @hedera highlights @chainlink Labs as a Council member helping bridge TradFi and DeFi with CCIP, Data Feeds and Proof of Reserve.
Together they’re building the enterprise stack for tokenised assets, cross-chain liquidity and real-world corporate adoption.
🧵 The Hedera × Chainlink story didn’t start yesterday.
It has been building for more than six years.
Here’s how the partnership evolved into one of Hedera’s most important pieces of institutional infrastructure.
👇
May 2019
Hedera and Chainlink announced their first official collaboration.
The goal was to bring decentralized oracle technology to @hedera, allowing smart contracts to securely access off-chain data, APIs and real-world information.
This laid the foundation for enterprise-grade decentralized applications.
May 2021
@chainlink Labs joined the Hedera Governing Council.
As the first dedicated Web3 company on the Council, Chainlink didn’t just integrate with Hedera.
It became part of the network’s governance alongside global enterprises.
That signaled a long-term strategic commitment.
2024
The relationship expanded through the HBAR Foundation’s participation in the Chainlink SCALE program.
The objective was to accelerate developer adoption by making Chainlink services available natively across the Hedera ecosystem.
Infrastructure was becoming a priority.
2025
Chainlink CCIP arrived on Hedera.
Developers gained access to one of the industry’s leading cross-chain interoperability protocols, making it easier to securely move messages, assets and value between blockchain networks.
2025-2026
The ecosystem continued to grow with broader support for Chainlink Data Feeds, Proof of Reserve and CCIP.
Developers building on Hedera now have access to trusted market data, verifiable collateral information and secure cross-chain connectivity.
These are key building blocks for tokenized real-world assets and institutional DeFi.
Why does this matter?
Tokenization doesn’t stop at issuing an asset on-chain.
Institutions also need trusted price feeds, proof that collateral exists and secure interoperability across financial networks.
That’s exactly what @chainlink brings.
Today, @hedera combines:
• Enterprise governance
• High-performance Hashgraph technology
• Native tokenization
• Chainlink’s oracle and interoperability infrastructure
Together, they form a production-ready stack for institutional finance.
The headlines may be new.
The foundation has been under construction since 2019.
🚨ANOTHER HUGE $LINK INTEGRATION!
After an extensive security review, @YuzuMoneyX fully migrated to @chainlink CCIP to distribute institutional yield products across DeFi.
They left LayerZero as they realise $LINK is the only enterprise standard for secure interoperability.
We just surpassed 1,000,000 agentic payments via x402 on the $XRP Ledger. Time to double down.
XRPL AI Hub is a comprehensive new ecosystem platform for builders, users, and enthusiasts.
Welcome to the agentic economy on the XRP Ledger.

Clearstream, owned by Deutsche Börse, just added custody for $XRP and $XLM.
They have €22T+ in assets under custody, and in Feb this year they posted they want to deeper integrate the @Ripple ecosystem.
Is this the start of more $XRP in Europe’s financial plumbing?
Official Circle USDC on @hedera is now natively supported on @FireblocksHQ.
Hedera Token Service (HTS) is live. USDC enabled globally. Any HTS token, self-serve via API or Console.
Hedera is going after the economy.
@thehbarbull explains why agentic AI, agentic commerce, IoT, supply chains, and machine-to-machine payments could become massive revenue drivers for the Hedera network.
$HBAR #Hedera#AI#Crypto
Hedera is built to connect. 🌐
@binance brings deep global liquidity, HBAR staking on @binanceus and Hedera-native USDC withdrawals to the ecosystem, giving millions of users seamless access to the Hedera network.

How does HBAR actually capture value?
@thehbarbull explains that every Hedera service is paid in $HBAR even when priced in USD and why high-volume use cases could generate serious network revenue.
Vanguard’s entrance into crypto is a big deal.😶🌫️
Why?
Vanguard is one of the Big 3.☝️
BlackRock. State Street. Vanguard.✅
These three firms dominate passive and institutional money in America.
They control the majority of the ETF industry.💯
When they move, everything else eventually moves with them.🌊
BlackRock went first. They launched the spot Bitcoin ETFs. IBIT became the biggest vehicle in the space. That gave crypto product legitimacy and real institutional inflows.
And now Vanguard, renowned for its conservative stance among the Big 3, is boldly disclosing its commitments to crypto.🙇♂️
They want us to know they are serious about digital asset investing.🔑
Their actions, not their words, demonstrate this.
They are now opening access and hiring dedicated digital asset leadership faster than ever.💨
Every skeptical institution is watching from the sidelines.👀
If Vanguard is doing this, the argument “crypto is too risky for serious institutions” just lost its strongest talking point.🎯
Advisors who use Vanguard as their core platform no longer have an easy excuse to keep clients out. Small allocations across millions of accounts add up fast.😏
More skeptical firms will follow. They always do.
Pensions. Endowments. Insurance companies. Family offices. RIAs who waited for “someone credible” now have three of the biggest names in traditional finance with visible momentum.⏰
Documented.📝👇
When we realized blockchain could enable settlement in seconds, not weeks, everyone was surprised. Even the regulators.
Sandy Kaul recalls the early days of building onchain at @FranklnTempletn on the Block by Block podcast with @DenelleDixon, CEO of @StellarOrg.
Banks are literally racing each other to launch crypto now 👀 Ripple's Cassie Craddock says MiCA lit the fuse in Europe and customer demand is doing the rest
🔥 regulatory clarity = game changer $XRP
@Rob_nodl has been named a finalist for 'Director of the Year' in the 2026 Asia FinTech Awards! 🎉
Rob has been instrumental in modernizing payment infrastructure across the APAC region. His leadership on Project Acacia is among the most significant examples of that work.
Congratulations to all other nominees!
🚨 JUST IN: Japan is doing something no other country has done with $XRP. 🇯🇵
Here's what's actually driving Massive $XRP adoption in Japan:
→ 🇯🇵 SBI Ripple Asia is licensed to issue prepaid payment tokens directly on the $XRP Ledger, targeting a market worth roughly $200,000,000,000
→ 🇯🇵 Ripple's stablecoin $RLUSD is officially approved by Japan's FSA and live through SBI VC Trade, backed 1:1 and attested monthly by Deloitte
→ 🇯🇵 SBI issued 10 billion yen in tokenized bonds rewarding investors with $XRP bonuses through 2029
→ 🇯🇵 Six SBI subsidiaries now distribute $XRP directly to shareholders, a first for any public company on Earth
→ 🇯🇵 Japanese banks including Tottori Bank are using #Ripple-powered rails for remittances
→ 🇯🇵 Rakuten is integrating $XRP into its loyalty ecosystem for 44 million users
→ 🇯🇵 $XRP is the 3rd most adopted crypto in Japan, handled by 20 licensed exchanges, behind only Bitcoin and Ethereum
⚡ STRING POWERS THE RWA ECONOMY
From Stocks to Skyscrapers — All Assets, On-Chain
Where Real Assets Meet Real Yield
🌍 THE SHIFT IS INEVITABLE
Grayscale forecasts a 1000× expansion in Real-World Assets (RWA) over the next 5 years. Tokenization will happen. Liquidity will decide who wins.
🏗️ THE PROBLEM WITH RWAs TODAY
Tokenized assets demand what traditional finance cannot deliver:
- 24/7 always-on global markets
- Deep, two-sided liquidity
- Institutional-grade execution
- Fee-driven, volume-scaled economics
Without liquidity, tokenization fails.
🚀 STRING × IDLE × RWA
IDLE — The Liquidity Engine for Tokenized Assets
IDLE is the liquidity fuel of the String ecosystem — converting gaming attention and DeFi capital into live, tradable RWA markets.
💱 Live RWA pools on Raydium

🧠 AI-managed execution & risk systems
📊 Real trading fees → real, sustainable yield
Gaming Liquidity → IDLE → RWA Markets → Institutional Volume
🌐 THE OUTCOME
Real Assets · Real Yield · Real-Time Markets
Tokenization creates assets. IDLE powers liquidity. String creates scale.
