Now that 25/26 is done and dusted, let's rewind to the start of the Premier League. Set of stills for the full roster. Some cracking badges back then.

@GrindeOptions The market trades the future, not the present. Right now it's pricing in that this conflict won't drag on for long – let's hope it's right.

Some shifts in finance are loud.

Others are quiet, but far more important. Today, Quant is announcing a partnership with @dentsusoken in Japan.

Over recent years, our work done in the UK has shown that digital money doesn’t have to sit outside the financial system to innovate. Tokenised deposits and programmable settlement can be designed inside regulation, inside banks, and at institutional scale. What’s interesting now is what happens next.

Japan is approaching these questions in its own way, within its own regulatory and market context. But the direction of travel is clear: major economies are beginning to think seriously about how programmable money fits into real-world financial infrastructure.

This partnership is about building that foundation with institutions at the centre.

There are 5 spot crypto ETFs launching over next 6 days. Beyond that we don't have exact but we expect a steady supply of them (likely over 100 in next six months). Nice chart showing what's launched and what's on deck from @JSeyff

When you establish TC307 to develop ISO Standards for blockchain in 2016 basing it on #ISO20022 for mainstream adoption by financial institutions:

You’ve built everything since then with ISO 20022.

Oracle's CDS spread, the price you have to pay to protect yourself from an Oracle default, has exploded in recent weeks.
For a long time, the focus of the debt-driven economy was on governments, with numerous countries recording debt-to-GDP ratios above 100%.
But the AI-boom is persuading more and more companies to go 'all in' and invest massively in development and infrastructure. Not all of these companies will be able to repay those massive debt piles.
So while quality stocks have lagged this year, I expect them to reverse their underperformance in the coming years as companies that can allocate capital prudently and effectively will be rewarded. A key characteristic of quality stocks is precisely that.

[Robin Brooks @robin_j_brooks]

US stocks are feeling very iffy. We're only down 5% from the all-time high in October, but the narrative around the AI boom has definitely changed. I'm getting more and more questions if Fed rate cuts can bail out the market, which tells you something...

XI SAYS HE’S ‘READY TO CONTINUE’ WORKING WITH TRUMP

Chinese President Xi Jinping told U.S. President Donald Trump he is “ready to continue” their cooperation and praised Trump for helping end the war in Gaza.
“I am ready to keep working with you to strengthen China–U.S. relations,” Xi said at the start of their meeting.
Trump declined to answer a question about restarting U.S. nuclear testing before the talks continued behind closed doors. He is set to return to Washington from South Korea at 12:55 p.m. local time.

QuantNet functions as a neutral settlement layer that connects fragmented #moneyrails without replacing existing bank systems.

Rather than forcing institutions to choose between competing platforms, it creates #interoperability between them, allowing #atomicsettlement across bank-issued #deposittokens, #centralbankmoney, and traditional #paymentsystems.

Today, I’m proud to unveil #QuantFusion’s #MultiLedgerRollup, the world’s first “Layer 2.5” rollup technology that unifies transaction execution and settlement across multiple layer 1 blockchains.

With our patented technology, this “Layer 2.5” rollup connects seamlessly to multiple ledgers, whether blockchains or other distributed ledgers, be it permissioned or permissionless.

Built for institutional use, Quant Fusion enables the issuance and transaction of unified interoperable #digitalassets on #publicblockchains without sacrificing security, privacy, or scalability.

Fusion enables direct asset aggregation from DIFFERENT blockchains into unified liquidity pools, creating native multi-chain liquidity without wrapping.
Each asset retains L1 anchoring to always withdraw to origin chain assets, interact natively within rollup execution environment and run atomic swaps across previously isolated ecosystems.

As we celebrate ten years of Quant, this milestone isn’t just about looking back, it’s about looking forward.

Quant Fusion embodies the vision that has guided us since day one: building the infrastructure for a universally interoperable blockchain future.

Sibos 2025 marked a defining moment in the evolution of global #financialinfrastructure, with one clear message emerging across dozens of sessions: the transformation from electronic to #digitalmoney is no longer theoretical, it’s operational.

The banks investing in #programmablemoney infrastructure, establishing #stablecoin capabilities, and building #interoperability layers will be the ones who gain first-mover advantages.
