Quantum Stellar Initiative (QSI) was created because there was virtually no Stellar onboarding anywhere online. Emily Tang emphasizes that people could find general blockchain talk, but there were no clear entry points for prospective investors https://t.co/P2KUB9P2K3
⚡️SpaceX IPO makes Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire
Elon Musk’s SpaceX announced Thursday the price for its initial public offering of $135 per share. The step sets up a blockbuster IPO that ranks as the largest in history, at about $75 billion.
@MediaQSI
ELON MUSK:
“We’re going to have universal high income.
We’ll basically just issue money to people."
"AI and robots are going to make so much stuff and provide so many services that they’ll run out of things to do for humans."
"Money will stop being relevant at some point in the future."
"AI won’t use human currency. It will care about power and mass: wattage and tonnage.”
ME:
“So just as you’re becoming a multi-trillionaire, money starts to have less value?”
ELON:
“Yeah, pretty much.”
🔥 Lumendex Is Not What You Think It Is
Most people think their account lives inside the app they use, but that's only part of the story. 🧩
Lumendex provides a practical way to interact with Stellar, while the account itself exists independently on the network. Logging into an app is only one layer of access. True control comes from the keys that identify the account and determine who can control it.
As financial infrastructure evolves, understanding the layers beneath the interface becomes increasingly important. 🧠

🤖 Decart launches Oasis 3 for photorealistic driving simulations via API
The Decart research team unveiled a new world model Oasis 3 capable of simulating hours of photorealistic driving across different road scenarios. The system can reproduce complex visual and dynamic aspects of control, including realistic scenes, weather conditions, and traffic flows.
The startup is initially targeting autonomous vehicle companies that need to simulate rare driving scenarios at scale, and plans to expand into robotics and other physical AI applications. By offering API access from day one, Decart is trying to build a developer ecosystem around world models much like how OpenAI did with language models.
“It’s going to be the first usable world model that people can actually program on top of,” — Dean Leitersdorf, CEO of Decart, said. “I think there’s going to be an entire developer community that emerges on top of this.”

💫 XRP, XLM, and LINK Get Featured in Brand New Nasdaq CME Crypto Index, Alongside Bitcoin
Major global derivatives exchange CME Group has officially announced the launch of trading in futures contracts on the new Nasdaq CME Crypto Index.
❗️The main feature of the new benchmark is the inclusion of XRP, Stellar (XLM), and Chainlink (LINK) in a single regulated basket alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, and Bitcoin Cash.
⤴️This comprehensive approach is designed to give institutional investors easy access to a broader spectrum of crypto assets through one targeted product.
The new contracts operate with cash settlement, referencing the Nasdaq CME Crypto Settlement Price Index. This structure enables funds to gain diversified exposure to the crypto market without directly buying or managing the underlying tokens.
📚 Cash-settled futures allow parties to exchange the difference in the underlying asset’s value in cash, rather than delivering the actual asset at contract expiry. For institutional investors, this simplifies storage and operational procedures.
"With trading now officially underway, our new Nasdaq CME Crypto Index futures represent a major milestone in the expansion of our regulated digital asset marketplace. These contracts give clients a cost-efficient tool to hedge their risk or directly pursue broad-based crypto opportunities," — said Giovanni Vicioso, Global Head of Cryptocurrency Products at CME Group.
Company officials say the move was driven by investor calls for clarity and rule-based frameworks. The futures contracts empower funds with robust tools to manage crypto risk within the familiar infrastructure of traditional finance. 🚀

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.
BREAKING: Stellar unveils its Quantum Preparedness Plan.
The network aims to support quantum-safe accounts by 2027 without requiring users to change addresses or move funds.
Bermudians face high payment processing fees and limited economic growth opportunities due to outdated financial infrastructure and a lack of mobile money apps.
An onchain economy powered by the Stellar network has the ability to transform that reality.

💫 Why XRP, XLM, and HBAR Will Benefit from CLARITY Acts and Others
Hedera, XRP, and Stellar posted some of the strongest returns among 20 tracked index constituents last quarter. The three assets rallied 367%, 240%, and 237%, respectively.
⤴️ These numbers come from a document, which revealed that “Layer 1 coins from the previous cycle outperformed the rest in the previous quarter.”
That performance did not happen in a vacuum. These assets spent years under intense regulatory scrutiny, with authorities frequently labeling them as securities. That pressure tested their networks, their communities, and their staying power, and they endured it.
⚔️ XRP’s history with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is well documented. The years-long legal battle shaped how the market perceived the asset.
However, the assets still performed, and now the environment is shifting. 🔄
❗️The current U.S. administration has signaled a more favorable stance toward the crypto industry.
The document pointed directly to this shift, noting that “with a more favourable regulatory environment expected under the new U.S. administration, these assets are likely to operate with less regulatory scrutiny.” 📄
➡️ The previous quarter demonstrated that these assets can generate significant returns. The regulatory environment that previously limited their growth is now easing.
These three assets faced more regulatory pressure than most of the market and survived it. Now they stand to benefit directly from the policy shift underway in the U.S. The evidence from last quarter’s performance supports that view.

Stellar's stablecoin supply has pumped +141% in the past week.
Something big is going on in the @StellarOrg ecosystem...
$XLM has seen its stablecoin supply more than double in a single week, surging some +141% according to DefiLlama data.
The total now stands at a full $804M, making it the 13th largest chain by stablecoin supply.
Another public proof that DTCC helped co-create Stellar’s protocol since 2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣8️⃣ for their own use and Franklin Templeton has also been using Stellar’s protocol since 2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣9️⃣ and also happens to be a Tier 1 Validator Node ❤️
Even though FT didn’t make formal announcements about their partnership with Stellar until 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣3️⃣ 🎉
And DTCC didn’t announce their partnership until August 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣🎉
NDAs expire much? 🥰

Do You Know Why Stellar Was Chosen By DTCC?
Many reasons… but “Soroban” smart contracts made stellar 100x more powerful and most people still don’t get it.
Imagine Stellar was already the fastest, cheapest way to send money anywhere. Now picture this:
Soroban is Stellar’s new “smart contract” superpower.
• Soroban smart contracts is like giving Stellar a super-smart brain written in Rust (a pro language) that turns into WebAssembly (super efficient code).
It runs programs on the blockchain that can:
• Automatically handle money (like lending, trading, or creating tokens)
• Finish in 3-5 seconds
• Cost basically nothing (~$0.00001 per transaction)
• Handle tons of stuff at the same time without clogging up
No gas fees drama. No waiting hours. Just smooth, real-world usable magic.
Soroban turns Stellar from “great for payments” into a full DeFi beast that can scale to billions of people.
This is just the beginning. Utility season is incoming🔥
"Tokenizing just to tokenize is not beneficial. You tokenize because it is best for the fund."
--@DenelleDixon today on @business discussing RWA growth on the Stellar network and why institutions like @The_DTCC tokenize on Stellar.
This financial giant just chose $XLM to launch its own stablecoin.
Remittance giant @MoneyGram has just announced the launch of its very own $MGUSD stablecoin.
It has chosen @StellarOrg specifically as the blockchain to host the new USD-based asset.
MoneyGram will hold $MGUSD in @FireblocksHQ, while Bridge @Stablecoin has been chosen as the regulated issuer.
🚨 BREAKING
🇪🇺 FINALLY! The EU has woken up.
After years of open borders, chaos and crime, Brussels just approved “RETURN HUBS” in third countries to deport rejected migrants.
Longer detentions, home raids and real consequences.
The illegal migration party is over.
Europe is starting to defend itself.
Orbán was right all along.
They called him a racist and isolated him. Now the entire EU is copying what his gov. warned about from day one.
No one listened… and now they’re paying the price.
