$7,000 Gold, $180k Bitcoin, $200 Silver; Hard Assets Go 'Ballistic' | La... https://t.co/EZuNj6NZPf via @YouTube
I always find looking at the cutaway of rockets very interesting; what's just as fascinating is how large an object can fit inside their payload fairings!
I also added how much each vehicle can lift to LEO, GTO, and TLI.
The only launch vehicle I didn’t include is the Atlas V; the reason is because of its upcoming sad retirement, and every last launch is booked.
Friendly reminder, this is ranked by PAYLOAD VOLUME CURRENTLY; however, their lift capabilities are listed below.
Stellar just landed institutional tokenized gold and is putting its own treasury behind it
@matrixdock, Asia's largest real-world asset platform, expanded its tokenized gold token XAUm to @StellarOrg, backed 1:1 by LBMA-accredited bullion. The Stellar Development Foundation is making a direct investment in XAUm as part of its treasury diversification.
XAUm ranks among the world's top four tokenized gold products. Stellar's total RWA and stablecoin value has now reached $3.35B.
What if Mr. Pool’s biggest clue wasn’t about the squeeze…
Everyone assumes it’s just about a short squeeze.
But what if the real clue was why it happened?
VW exploded because Porsche quietly accumulated control before anyone fully understood what was happening.
Now think about XRP.
What if there’s a hidden whale that hasn’t been revealed yet?
Mr. Pool has hinted at the VW chart for years.
Then there’s the 74% held by Porsche…
An interesting number when you think about 7/4 and all the “Independence” hints we’ve seen.
Coincidence?
Maybe.
But what if the real catalyst isn’t retail…
It’s the announcement that a major entity has been quietly accumulating all along.
The US government?
A sovereign wealth fund?
Blackrock?
Or something none of us are even considering.
Just a theory.
But if Mr. Pool’s VW references were about hidden accumulation rather than the squeeze itself…
Everything suddenly looks very different.
$SPCX / Elon Musk acquires Mesh, an optical networking startup.
Which is working on 1.6T OSFP (pluggable).
It’s seems they own the optical engine/packaging side of things, but likely sources CW DFB lasers off merchant companies.
$SIVE is one of the more startup friendly plausible merchant suppliers as seen with Ayar to $POET?
Maybe $LITE and $MTSI that were have a little history too, but less so.
Regardless it’s very positive a lot of startups recently like Celestial have been acquired by Marvell.
For both merchant laser supplier revenue (working with startups -> having hyperscalers like SpaceX drive revenue after being designed in already).
As well as valuations from M&A desirability.
Goes to show how optical interconnects is the right direction if Elon Musk is directly buying these companies.
Traditional and tokenized assets represent the same underlying asset.
Tokenization rethinks how that asset is recorded, transferred, and accessed across markets.

The most famous Riddler chart is looking pretty damn accurate right now.
Feels like we’re setting up for that final parabolic god candle as the major catalysts hit: SWIFT, DTCC and Clarity Act news all lining up at once.
Could get very interesting for XRP, very fast.
Today, we're releasing @XMoney to a subset of US Premium+ users to collect feedback and iron out issues ahead of a broader launch. As appreciation for being an early user, we're extending our internal perks to this group for a limited time. Notifications going out now!
We're proud to announce that Ripple USD ($RLUSD) is now officially available in Japan, following approval from the Japan Financial Services Agency (JFSA): https://t.co/ChkYMQ6kxW
Through our partnership with SBI Group and @sbivc_official, $RLUSD will be accessible to both institutional and retail users via the VCTRADE platform, serving as a bridge for payments, tokenization, and collateral management.
With $1.7 billion in market cap and a 10-year relationship with SBI, this is a significant milestone in advancing regulated stablecoin adoption across Asia.
