"While staying in full control" sounds a bit hollow when Ethereum is part of it.

[Crypto Tice @CryptoTice_]

BREAKING:

SWIFT just announced it's moving its global payment network on-chain.

40 banks. 200 countries. Live transactions this year.

But here's the part worth understanding.
Banks aren't using crypto stablecoins.

They're using tokenized deposits.

Real money. Real banks. Real regulation.
Just on blockchain rails.

This is not a crypto victory.
This is banks adopting blockchain while keeping full control.

The speed of crypto. Without the decentralization.
The efficiency of blockchain. Without the freedom.

Banks stopped fighting the technology.
They found the version that keeps them in charge.

The question worth asking is whether this is good for crypto. Or just good for banks.

BREAKING:

Hark! In the midst of endless pressure from CT upon this digital realm of Tvitter X, we at https://t.co/TzOa5Hp5mg do hereby declare that we all still firmly believe in Cardano and its most prosperous outcome - nay, not as frantic speculators chasing fleeting gains, but as steadfast pilgrims of the blockchain, who trust in peer-reviewed toil and slow, methodical virtue.

Let the scoundrels and pump-chasing knaves wag their tongues and cry “When Lambo?” whilst we, with powdered wigs and dignified composure, reply: “When peer-reviewed smart contracts, thou impatient fool!” For Cardano moves not like a hare, but like a stately galleon - unhurried, methodical, and utterly unbothered by the squawking of lesser parrots on this bird-shaped app.

So raise thy ADA aloft (but not too high, lest thou strain a humoral balance) and remember: Rome was not built in a day, nor shall our decentralized utopia arrive before I finish this cup of mead. Onward, steady, and verily - when moon? When the science says so.

Signed with a quill dipped in hopium,

P.S. If thou art still panicking, pray consult a leech. ‘Tis the fashion.

@lovechain_lily @Posada_bot @Sssebi 300% in a week on an asset $ADA's size is fantasy a move like that needs cycle-level inflows, not a 7-day candle. Over a full cycle? Different conversation. We're not here to sell pumps at https://t.co/vK3nIxor9X we build for the cycles that outlast them. 🛠️

Cointelegraph and other outlets cited ~45,000 employees); Petrobras posted $124.7B revenue in 2022. The first 500 participants were to receive a dynamic NFT tracking their progress. This was framed as the Foundation's first major enterprise blockchain-education engagement with a Fortune 500 company, tied by CEO Frederik Gregaard to Cardano's five-year objective of building Fortune 500 relationships.

**SERPRO — public-sector partnership (Mar 2025).** On 6 March 2025 the Foundation announced a partnership with SERPRO (Serviço Federal de Processamento de Dados), described as the world's largest state-owned IT company [Cardano Foundation](https://t.co/I2yQBTOw5c) and operator of the https://t.co/2IiO15LE26 platform serving 90% of Brazil's federal administration (33 billion transactions/year, 30.4 petabytes of data). [Cardano Foundation](https://t.co/I2yQBTOw5c) The Cardano Academy program was to be launched for SERPRO's 8,000 employees including 2,000 developers. [Cardano Foundation](https://t.co/I2yQBTOw5c) SERPRO's advisor Kleber Pereira dos Santos called it SERPRO's first international educational partnership. This is education/exploration-stage, not a deployed production system.

**PUC-Rio — R&D collaboration (Apr 2025).** On 15 April 2025 the Foundation announced a collaboration with the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio), supporting its Ledger Labs research group and establishing "ALBA" (Ada Labs for Blockchain Applications). Focus: blockchain economics, DeFi, DAO governance, digital assets, and renewable-energy use cases in collaboration with Petrobras. [Cardano Foundation](https://t.co/sR62nXdjF0) Led on the academic side by Vice-Dean Leonardo Lima.

**University of Brasília (UnB) — first Cardano Lab in LatAm (May 2026).** Announced 6 May 2026, this strategic technical collaboration establishes the "first Cardano Project Development Lab in Latin America" [Cardano](https://t.co/e9hgaVCVLZ) inside UnB — a multidisciplinary hub spanning public blockchain (Cardano), AI, IoT, digital identity, and governance. [Crypto News](https://t.co/qCN1X7D1qc) UnB is positioned as a feeder of federal public servants, diplomats, and ministers. Scope includes full-semester Cardano lectures, curriculum integration, policymaker training, and startup/government engagement. Professor Claudia Jacy Barenco Abbas (Engineering Faculty) is a named academic lead.

**Brazilian Olympic Committee (COB) — sports/3-year roadmap (Jun 2026).** Announced 2 June 2026 via an MOU; a 3-year roadmap covering digital identity/certification for athletes and coaches, fan engagement, equipment tracking (IoT), and governance/funding transparency. [Crypto News](https://t.co/qCN1X7D1qc) [Crypto Adventure](https://t.co/byqSlANKB9) COB Director General Emanuel Rego signed; the first executive workshop was already held. No token launch or payment product is involved. [Crypto News](https://t.co/qCN1X7D1qc) This is the Foundation's most recent and most "real-world institutional" Brazil deal.

#### Argentina (VERIFIED OFFICIAL)

**IOG/Input Output Buenos Aires office.** IOG inaugurated a physical Buenos Aires office on 21 May 2025. Per IOG's 11 November 2025 newsroom release on the Argentine Fintech Chamber partnership: "Since opening an office in Buenos Aires earlier this year, IO has welcomed more than 1,000 visitors to its hub, from banks and public companies to exchanges and developer groups." [IOHK](https://t.co/gxhMzgVGzX) This is the clearest example of an IOG "regional office/entity" physically located in LatAm.

**TxPipe partnership (Jul 2025).** Per IOG's 10 July 2025 release, IOG partnered with Buenos Aires software house TxPipe (core Cardano infra contributor; builds TX3, https://t.co/Ulje8evbvC) to run recurring hackathons/workshops/meetups at the IO office every 4–6 weeks using its TX3 toolkit. [Bitcoinist](https://t.co/hGWO3mYLS9) Hoskinson: "Our collaboration also fulfills the broader vision of making IO Buenos Aires a crypto hub."

Slowly CF is onboarding Brazil and Latam. People seems unaware, # Cardano's Footprint in Latin America: Official Partnerships and Grassroots Presence (June 2026)

TL;DR
- **Cardano has its single deepest national footprint anywhere in LatAm in Brazil**, where the Cardano Foundation has stacked five institutional partnerships (Petrobras, SERPRO, PUC-Rio, the University of Brasília, and the Brazilian Olympic Committee) plus LatAm's first "Cardano Project Development Lab" — all VERIFIED OFFICIAL and almost all signed in 2025–2026. Argentina is the #2 hub, anchored by IOG/Input Output's physical Buenos Aires office.
- **The grassroots layer is real but thinner and partly lapsing**: active stake pools (Cardanistas/CARDS, Ouros/OUROS), a handful of Brazil-based ambassadors, Portuguese-language education projects (GovChainLab, Cardano Feed, Catalyst Brasil), and the volunteer "Cardano Confederation"/LATAM Townhall network across ~7 countries. BrazilPool, an early flagship, appears effectively defunct as a producing pool.
- **2026 context matters**: ADA broke below its multi-year ~$0.247 support to ~$0.233 (ranked ~16th by market cap), the Cardano Foundation is cutting ADA exposure, and DReps are vetoing treasury spending (the 2026 Summit was cancelled). Treat institutional partnerships as education/pilot-stage MOUs, not deployed production systems, and assume community funding will be tighter going forward.

## Key Findings

### Official / Institutional (VERIFIED OFFICIAL)
- **Brazil is the crown jewel.** Five Cardano Foundation partnerships: Petrobras (Dec 2023), SERPRO (Mar 2025), PUC-Rio (Apr 2025), University of Brasília (May 2026), and Brazilian Olympic Committee (Jun 2026).
- **A dedicated LatAm business-development function exists**: Rafael Fraga is the Cardano Foundation's "LATAM Business Development Lead" and personally facilitated the Petrobras, SERPRO, PUC-Rio, UnB, and Entre Ríos deals.
- **Argentina is the regional engineering hub**: IOG/Input Output opened a Buenos Aires office (inaugurated 21 May 2025), partnered with TxPipe (Jul 2025) and the Argentine Fintech Chamber (Nov 2025), and signed the Entre Ríos provincial government (Jun 2024) plus universities UBA and UTN.
- **Region-wide capital**: the $80M Draper Dragon "Orion Fund" (Apr 2026) is global but Cardano-ecosystem-wide; a "LATAM Cardano Yearly Event" is planned for Colombia in 2026.

### Grassroots / Community (COMMUNITY-LEVEL)
- **Brazil ambassadors**: Otávio Lima (Cardano Feed founder, São Paulo), Thiago da Silva Nunes (Ouros SPO), Marcus Vinícius, and Bosco Ribeiro (Cardanistas) are on the official ambassador roster. Daniela Alves and Maria Carmo are prominent community leaders but not currently on the official list.
- **Brazil SPOs**: Cardanistas (CARDS) and Ouros (OUROS) are active block-producing pools; BrazilPool (BRAZL) is effectively dormant though its educational website persists.
- **Portuguese-language ecosystem**: GovChainLab (Daniela Alves/Maria Carmo), Cardano Feed, Catalyst Brasil, Código Brazuca/Node Hub Web3, and Lovelace Academy provide education and onboarding; the Cardano Academy was translated into Brazilian Portuguese with a certification course (CBCA).
- **Region-wide community**: the "Cardano Confederation" and LATAM Townhall run hubs across Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Chile, Venezuela, Ecuador, Mexico, and others; Intersect has a LATAM hub with a Mexico arm led by Mauro Andreoli.

**Petrobras — education partnership (Dec 2023).** The Cardano Foundation announced on 20 December 2023 that its Cardano Academy program would be delivered to Petrobras, Brazil's state-owned energy company, via Petrobras University. Per the Foundation's press release, Academy content was "accessible to Petrobras's more than 40,000 employees" [Cardano Foundation](https://t.co/kXwpNfyAMU

Big news: we've partnered with the Brazilian Olympic Committee (@timebrasil) to transform Olympic sport with public blockchain, IoT, and AI.

The three-year roadmap aims to position COB as the global benchmark in sports innovation.

The best part? It's all powered by Cardano. ⚡️

EVERYONE'S CALLING IT COMMUNISM

Bernie Sanders just proposed a one-time 50% tax on OpenAI, Anthropic and xAI - paid in stock, not cash - dropping half of each company into a public fund that pays dividends to every American.

The catch nobody in the replies noticed: the AI bosses asked for this first.

- OpenAI literally proposed "a public wealth fund giving every citizen a stake in AI-driven growth"
- Anthropic publicly called for "national sovereign wealth funds with stakes in AI"
- Elon Musk said federal checks were "the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI"
- Trump's government already took a 10% stake in Intel and a 15% cut of Nvidia's China chip sales - nobody screamed socialism

So the plan everyone's calling a commie fever dream was pitched by Altman, Amodei and Musk before Bernie ever said a word.

[ADSL @DaLohals]

@JaromirTesar @IOHK_Charles That was nice.

[ADSL @DaLohals]

@IOHK_Charles @ILikeCardano Not a bad idea Charles. I support it.

But it should not be a one time thing, it should be every second year summit. And the other year should moved as now, around the world. Free if you have a wallet with min 1000 $ in ADA staked.
