We love sovereign cloud growth. Can the Internet Computer be the new tech stack? Yes. It. Can.

More details following, and get ready to join the ICP cloud engine party at opencloud dot org.

WHERE ARE THE $VELO HOLDERS? BECAUSE THE INSTITUTIONAL SIDE OF THIS ECOSYSTEM IS GETTING SERIOUS. 👀

Look at the names already touching Velo’s infrastructure.

UOB Venture Management made a second strategic investment into Velo Labs.

Velo’s current strategic network includes Stellar, Visa, UOB, Seven Bank, CP Group, HashKey Capital, Hanwha, Copper and Cactus Custody.

Then you get into tokenized assets.

Velo incorporated exposure to BlackRock BUIDL, tokenized by Securitize, into USDV’s reserve architecture.

Its joint venture with Lightnet and OpenEden is targeting tokenized U.S. Treasuries, corporate treasury services, stablecoin issuance and cross-border institutional settlement.

The initial markets include:

Singapore.
Thailand.
Philippines.
Indonesia.

And settlement is being designed around currencies including USD, THB, PHP, IDR, SGD and HKD.

That tells me Velo isn’t thinking small.

The plan is to connect blockchain liquidity with the currencies businesses actually use.

Then $VELO gets pulled further into that design.

Institutions are planned to lock VELO for netting infrastructure, settlement services and credit facilities.

Liquidity providers can stake VELO.

Network fees are designed to fund VELO buybacks.

And live VELO staking is on the roadmap as the network moves toward its Q4 2026–2027 expansion.

This is the kind of utility setup I like studying.

Not simply “who is buying the token?”

I want to know 👇

What happens when businesses actually need the token to access the financial infrastructure underneath them?

That’s the $VELO angle I’m watching. 😎

INSANE:

Carney agreed to a deal.

Had it in place

He spoke with Premiers

He realized this would end his political career

So instead, he allowed 50% tariffs & walked.

Carney has no idea: Trump’s next deal will be worse.

And he will escalate.

FAILURE

[Ben Bankas @BenBankas]

Carney didn’t want to do the trade deal because he knew it would help fix Canada. US was asking Canada stop draconian speech laws and outdated environmental laws hampering investment but Carney doesn’t want Canadians to realize how easy it is to unfuck everything..

i think a lot of people misunderstand wealth.

it’s not the rolex.
it’s not the lambo.
it’s not the $2M house.

it’s waking up on a monday morning and not having to worry about paying extra for guac at chipotle.

[Vandell | Black Swan Capitalist @vandell33]

Ripple's CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, standing next to Trump at the White House today wasn’t by accident.

The companies building the new financial rails have always been in the room that writes the rules, they made sure this man was in the frame for a reason.

[Ripple @Ripple]

Jeonbuk Bank is the first regional bank in Korea to deploy Ripple Payments, replacing multi-day SWIFT transfers with near real-time, 24/7 cross-border settlement for its business customers. Our third Korean partnership this year, after Kyobo Life Insurance and Kbank, partnering on custody, wallet infrastructure and payments.

Korea’s leading financial institutions are building with Ripple: https://t.co/oSW94lTJ85

Two months in, Zebec Enterprise on @StellarOrg is moving from launch to adoption.

9 enterprise accounts are now running USDC payroll on Stellar, reaching an annualized payroll run-rate of ~$4M.

And the infrastructure around that payroll continues to expand.

🚨 Why Franklin Templeton Anchored the Majority of BENJI on Stellar 👇

When Franklin Templeton launched the Franklin OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund (FOBXX), better known as BENJI in April 2021, it became the first U.S.-registered mutual fund to use a public blockchain as its official system of record.

The firm chose Stellar as the primary home for the majority of its holdings, and that decision continues to hold five years later.

The key reason was regulatory fit. Stellar’s native asset model gives the issuer direct, protocol-level control over every token, the ability to authorize wallets only after KYC, restrict transfers, freeze accounts, and execute clawbacks in seconds if required by regulators or courts.

These controls sit at the base layer, no custom smart contracts in between, which met the SEC’s strict criteria for operating a registered mutual fund onchain.

Speed and cost sealed the choice.

Moving 50,000 transactions costs roughly $1 on Stellar versus tens of thousands of dollars through traditional transfer-agent rails. That efficiency matters for a money-market fund handling frequent subscriptions, redemptions, and peer-to-peer transfers while distributing yield daily (and now intraday).

Stellar was also purpose-built for asset issuance and payments rather than general-purpose computation.

Franklin Templeton manages the official shareholder list directly on the ledger, combining traditional book-entry records with onchain transparency and auditability.

Even after expanding BENJI to other chains, Stellar remains the primary network, hosting the bulk of assets under management and the overwhelming majority of holders.

That’s why the majority of BENJI continues to live on the Stellar network ( $XLM ).

[Digital Outlook @digitaloutlook3]

"Where's all the money coming from?" $XRP at $100 = $10 trillion market cap. That's a drop in the bucket. Global real estate: $360T. Debt markets: $300T+. Equities: $109T. Derivatives: QUADRILLIONS. All of it is getting tokenized. Very few ledgers can handle that volume

[ALLINCRYPTO @RealAllinCrypto]

A huge vote of confidence in @StellarOrg from three huge organisations!

Long term partner MoneyGram as well as Figure and Range aren’t just using $XLM anymore, they’re becoming Tier 1 validators helping secure the network itself.

That means major businesses are trusting Stellar enough to help run it.

Use the network → trust the network → help secure the network.

Our 2026 checklist:

✅ $1B in RWAs
✅ $2B in RWAs
✅ $3B in RWAs
⬛️ And it's only August

[dom | icp @dominic_w]

Caffeine passed 15 billion lines of code generated.

A big share is Motoko, the world's first language for AI agents — use it to build apps and services on ICP, and next gen AIware (like Open SaaS). It's been getting a real workout, and is currently advancing faster than ever 🔥

[Ash Crypto @AshCrypto]

$XRP just dropped below $1 for the first time in nearly 2 years.

[noncler @nonclerr]

$XLM has been quietly drawing the same chart for 8 years.

2018 peak.

2021 peak.

Both land almost perfectly on the same rising trendline.

Now price is back near the opposite side of the structure

the long-term liquidity floor around $0.16.

And if the cycle repeats?

That upper trendline sits around $1.70–$1.80 next.

That’s roughly a 10x from here.

The funny part is nobody cares about $XLM at $0.16.

But if it reaches $1?

Suddenly your timeline will be full of lifelong Stellar believers.

Crypto never changes. Only the profile pictures do.
