Tokenized securities just got more dynamic.

@ArchaxEx has launched real-time streaming cash flows on Hedera, enabling interest payments to update directly in investors' wallets on a near second-by-second basis using @USDC.

As tokenized securities are traded, payments automatically follow the asset. As ownership changes, cash flows continuously adjust. And because securities can be fractionalized, payments can be too.

This is another step toward more efficient capital markets.

Since you guys know that $FLR already has a regulated exchange-traded product (ETP) through @ValourFunds, I found something REALLY CRAZY about this... 🤯

@ValourFunds has 4 brokers offering $FLR. The two major ones are @avanzabank and @NordnetSE.

@avanzabank has 2.3M customers and manages $125B in assets.

@NordnetSE has 2.4M customers and manages $127B in assets.

Combined, all 4 brokers offering $FLR have over 5M customers and more than $250B in total assets.

And this is only getting bigger, as there are more brokers connected to @ValourFunds that don't offer $FLR yet.

These major brokers include:

@ING with over 41M customers and $1.2T in total assets.

@IBKR (Interactive Brokers), one of the world's largest brokers, with 3.8M+ customers and $700B+ in total assets.

The bigger @FlareNetworks gets, the more brokers are likely to offer $FLR, representing well over a TRILLION dollars in total assets.

And it gets even crazier as @ValourFunds needs to buy $FLR and keep it in cold storage with licensed custodian @CopperHQ to maintain a 1:1 backing for its "Valour FLR SEK" ETP.

THIS IS JUST BEYOND MENTAL.. 🤯

.@Mastercard is expanding its settlement capabilities with additional intraday, weekend and holiday card settlement using regulated stablecoins.

Programmable, always-on payments now on Stellar.

Building EVM applications is easier on Hedera.

Hedera Smart Contract Service lets builders deploy and run Solidity smart contracts using familiar Ethereum tools, while benefiting from Hedera’s fast finality, predictable low fees, and high throughput.

Numbers that leave an impression.

@The_DTCC is the "premier post-trade market infrastructure for the global financial services industry," and it's coming onchain with Stellar.

Today, @hedera joined a coalition of over 200 organizations urging Senate leadership to bring the Clarity Act to the floor without delay.

The bill passed the Banking Committee with bipartisan backing and would establish clear rules for digital asset markets, strengthen consumer protections, and ensure American competitiveness.

It’s time for Clarity.

Looking at the Zcash issue:

I prefer the generation of assets (crypto or RWA) on a fully transparent layer 1.
When privacy is required this should happen on another layer.

Flare Confidential Compute (FCC) provides the privacy layer and Flare (transparent L1) provides the ingress and egress of assets either created on Flare or elsewhere (eg XRPL) to FCC.

Hedera is built to connect 🌐

Through @QuickNode, developers can deploy gasless user experiences on Hedera with managed paymaster infrastructure, removing wallet friction for consumer apps, NFT drops, and onchain products at production scale.

Ideas in Crypto that are dead:

- Store of value against inflation/debasement
- Get rich quick on vapourware

Very much alive:

- Utility + charging fees or harvesting MEV that accrues to token economics

Flare’s myriad utilities:

- DeFi ecosystem for tokens that don’t have it
- Data & decentralised interoperability
- Compliant privacy
- Verifiable compute for on & offchain AI and financial uses

All can contribute through fees and MEV capture to Flare’s token economy.

There are no borders with CLPR - imagine infinite liquidity across blockchains.

At HederaCon 2026, Dr. @leemonbaird shares how CLPR from @hashgraph could transform interoperability & unlock seamless value transfer across the industry.

[Flare ☀️ @FlareNetworks]

Two cap raises. One week.

Another 5M FXRP of capacity is now open on the @upshift_fi earnXRP vault — curated by @ClearstarLabs, powered by Flare Smart Accounts on @XamanWallet.

Same conviction. More room. More demand for onchain yield.

"The smart contract knows the guardrails."
- Dr. @leemonbaird

The future of agentic payments relies on trusted rails. As AI agents begin transacting autonomously, programmable guardrails, verifiable execution, and transparent governance become essential for building trust at scale.

That’s where Hedera comes in.

[Hedera @hedera]

"The vision is having that multi-network, multi-asset, multi-currency frictionless system."

That's how @Citi's Ryan Rugg described the future of capital markets at HederaCon 2026 🧵

The shift is already underway. Citi projects the tokenized securities market could reach $5.5T by 2030, while industry leaders expect more than $250B in digital securities could be issued over the next year alone.

1) Using historical stats from Flare for MeV is pretty pointless as the ecosystem has grown in TVL substantially. (The estimates for transaction fee burning in FIP16 are also probably low as the ecosystem is growing and historical data doesn’t take this into account.)
Estimates for annual MeV earnings across the space equate to 1.5-2.0% of TVL.
Personally I’d expect this to be lower on Flare as MeV harvesting will be far less aggressive than on other chains so 0.5%-0.75% is probably a better range.

One of the more valuable things that can happen for Flare is growing TVL (and by proxy ecosystem usage - meaning fee burns- and also MeV earnings) by onboarding more XRP and new assets. Key to this in the near term is institutional onboarding of XRP thru exchange & custodian partnerships - eg Uphold - which can bring huge amounts of value to the chain more quickly than retail users. In the mid to longer term onboarding new assets like FBTC and RWAs (where Flare’s FCC gives Flare a strategic advantage).

In summary what FIP 16 did was make FLR very low inflation (relative to most other networks now) and link net token inflation to increasing usage through transaction fees, data fees (FDC, FSA) and MeV accrual.

Increasing TVL and increasing opportunities where FDC and FSA are used contributes the most towards reducing inflation / making FLR deflationary.

As an aside I was massively over optimistic about how quickly TVL would come to Flare. It wasn’t intentional my estimates got hammered by 1) the continued general market bearishness 2) Yield compression across the market - which makes it harder to get a yield on borrow lend (Kinetic & Mystic) and sell cover (firelight). 3) How slowly institutions move.
It is happening and happening at an increasing pace relative to a couple of months ago but the first few turns of any flywheel require a lot of effort.

2) We currently have no plans to change VM or become multi VM (practically very difficult anyway). There doesn’t look to be much value in doing so right now.

3) No we have no plans to raise capital as we don’t need to.

4) There is no particular reason for us to become a US entity at the moment. If that changes we will change with it. Tbh I spend a fair amount of time in the US anyway (and we have a lot of team in the US) so unless there is a clear legal/regulatory reason to do so it wouldn’t make any difference.
