En el marco de la competencia global tecnológica, les presentamos el siguiente evento:

La Revolución Digital del Dinero: Criptomonedas y Mercados Financieros.

Desde el BIS hasta la DTCC, el mensaje es claro, todo dejará de ser lo mismo en la geopolítica.

[Token Relations @TokenRelations]

XRP ETFs net assets have grown 80% throughout Q3 to an all-time high of $1.77B.

@Matt_Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at @Bitwise, on what's driving institutional demand for $XRP:

"XRP appeals for very simple reasons ... One is that [financial advisors] are confident it's not going away.

A lot of financial advisers look at crypto and wonder, are these things for real? Will they persist? Will they be here into the future? And XRP has this enormous track record.

[Two], it fits into real world applications that they can understand. They understand the stablecoin space. They understand the cross-currency and liquidity space. They understand and appreciate news ... and what that could mean for the XRP community."

[Hedera @hedera]

For markets to be truly digital, assets need to move freely and securely across borders, without bridges.

That is why Hedera contributed CLPR, a cross-ledger protocol developed by @hashgraph, to @lfdecentralized.

Today @Sibos, @richardbair & @shyamnagarajan demo'ed CLPR at LFDT’s booth.

🧵 Stronghold might be one of the most overlooked branches of the Ripple–Stellar family tree.

Before $SHX, before @IBM and before @strongholdpay even existed, @ItsSeanBennett was already building on @Ripple.

Then @StellarOrg launched.

Within hours, he was building its first anchor.

That’s where the Stronghold story really begins. 👇

Stronghold’s own history says Bennett began building a gateway on Ripple in 2013.

When Stellar launched in 2014, he created Coinex, described by Stronghold as the network’s first anchor.

At the same time, @TammyCamp was Stellar’s Head of Growth.

That connection matters.

Camp and Bennett say they discovered their shared vision through their work on Stellar in 2014.

Three years later, they founded Stronghold to connect traditional settlement rails with blockchain-based payments.

Stronghold didn’t discover Stellar later.

Its roots were already inside the early Ripple–Stellar payments ecosystem.

Then came IBM.

@strongholdpay says @IBM became its first client.

In 2018, Stronghold USD launched on Stellar.

It was later used for instant USD settlement by participants in IBM Blockchain World Wire.

So this wasn’t simply another stablecoin experiment.

Stronghold was already sitting at the intersection of @StellarOrg, enterprise payments and tokenized dollars.

And then the Ripple connection resurfaced.

Stronghold lists Xpring, now RippleX, among the investors that supported its growth.

Think about the historical loop:

Sean Bennett → Ripple → Stellar → Stronghold

and later:

Ripple/Xpring → Stronghold

The ecosystems often presented as competitors were connected through people, capital and infrastructure much earlier than many realize.

Now look at what Stronghold became.

In 2024, @NachaOnline named Stronghold a Preferred Partner for ACH Experience and ISO 20022.

Stronghold provides embedded pay-by-bank infrastructure and uses ISO 20022 messaging across payment workflows, including treasury reporting and payment acceptance.

It means Stronghold itself operates payment infrastructure using the standard.

So where does $SHX actually fit?

According to Stronghold, SHX is used across its ecosystem for:

• merchant and customer rewards
• liquidity for Merchant Financing
• governance

And there is an actual economic mechanism behind that utility.

SHX governance approved burning 70% of a Merchant Cash Advance origination fee, with the remaining 30% going to pool contributors.

That proposal was implemented in April 2024.

The governance layer has continued evolving too.

SHX holders have voted on governance rules, smart-contract recording of votes, locked SHX and delegated voting power.

One proposal moved governance votes from multiple ledgers toward a unified smart contract on Stellar.

So @StellarOrg remains important beneath the increasingly multi-chain SHX architecture.

And here comes one of my favorite twists.

SHX started with Stellar.

It later expanded to Ethereum and Solana.

And now SHX has also bridged to the XRP Ledger, following a community governance vote, using Squid and Axelar.

So after all these years, the historical circle gets another layer:

Ripple → Bennett → Stellar → Stronghold → SHX → XRPL. 👀

The documented history is very interesting.

@strongholdpay grew out of people who were there during the formative years of blockchain payments.

Ripple.
Stellar.
IBM.
Xpring/RippleX.
Nacha.
And now XRPL again.

Different relationships. Different periods. But a remarkable amount of infrastructure history converging around one company.

Maybe the most interesting thing about $SHX isn’t its market cap.

Maybe it’s where Stronghold came from, what it has built, and how much of the early Ripple–Stellar payment story still lives inside it.

[Versan | Black Swan Capitalist @VersanAljarrah]

@Ripple sat with @BlackRock and @HSBC and named the architecture. Tokenized funds. Tokenized deposits. An always-on layer so bank money can travel. $XRP sits in that layer when the payout is a different unit. They’re not replacing each other. They’re wiring one system.

[Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent @SecScottBessent]

Economic growth accelerates when businesses are able to invest, innovate, and compete rather than navigate unnecessary bureaucracy.

Under @POTUS, 129 regulations have been eliminated for every new rule introduced. By reducing red tape, the Trump Administration has created an environment where businesses can expand, hire, and invest in the American economy.

[SMQKE @SMQKEDQG]

Remember:

The Government Blockchain Association specifically identified XRP as a private sector solution that can support FedNow.✅

Of course this is documented.📝👇

It’s GO TIME. The @CFTC is utilizing its existing statutory authorities to establish a crypto asset regulatory market structure. @POTUS promised clear rules of the road for crypto and we are shipping them.

[ItscoachFO @itscoachfo]

Gracias a @XRPLCommons por la oportunidad de moderar este panel.

Disfruté mucho pudiendo conectar con la comunidad.

Y gracias de nuevo a todos los que vinisteis desde lejos para asistir. ¡Espero que el viaje mereciese la alegría!

Lo que me llevo de la sala: nadie habló de precio.

Tres compañías con clientes reales — @bitvavocom, @Peersyst y @PhiWallet — discutiendo distribución, regulación y unit economics.

Esa es la señal de que un ecosistema madura.

Nos vemos en Nueva York 🗽

[Mariana Mazzucato @MazzucatoM]

I’m excited to launch my new report, State Transformation for Plan México, co-authored with @LaraMerling , at @UNAM_MX next week.

At the heart of Plan México is a vision of prosperidad compartida — raising investment, expanding domestic productive capacity and ensuring that growth is shared across people, sectors and territories.

The report focuses on building the economic and institutional architecture needed to support the direction set by the Mexican government: turning this ambition into a new, more inclusive sustainable path to growth.
