Great to stand alongside @aptoslabs, @AvalanchePolicy, @cardano_cf, @SuiFoundation, & @stellarorg on this.
Infrastructure is not intermediation. To protect the future of UK digital asset markets, we must regulate custody and control, and not the neutral base layers that run them. ⤵️
APC joined @AptosLabs, @Cardano_CF, @iota, @SuiFoundation, and @StellarOrg in a comment letter to @TheFCA on its proposed cryptoasset perimeter guidance.
Our message is simple: the regulatory perimeter should focus on actual financial intermediation, not neutral infrastructure.
That means:
🫧 “arranging” should not sweep in technical or connectivity services
🔐 staking should be regulated where there is custody, control, or intermediation
🔹 infrastructure providers should be clearly distinguished from financial intermediaries
Clear boundaries make for better policy. 📝

🚨JUST IN: Forward Industries, the largest Solana treasury company, moved 455,784 $SOL worth $31.87M to Coinbase Prime, sparking fears of a possible sale.
The company now sits on ~$1.13B unrealized loss from its 6.81 million SOL holdings.
🧬 We chose to build Genesis Operating Systems on @iota because it tokenizes your governments, your ports, your trade. Your world. 🌎
🪙 And now iota tokenizes your OS.

Our partners include: governments, institutions, port authorities, and trade bodies across multiple continents.
Neutral infrastructure, it turns out, travels well.
Yesterday, I received a delegation from the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (@institutegc) and the IOTA Foundation, led by TBI Nigeria Country Director, Obianuju Uchenna and Senior Advisor Alban Odhiambo.
We discussed streamlining cross-border trade through ADAPT (Africa Digital Access and Public Infrastructure for Trade) - a strategic initiative by the @afcftasecretariat to operationalize the Protocol on Digital Trade. This critical infrastructure will lower trade costs, accelerate customs clearance, and unlock new markets for Nigerian businesses.

"Africa isn't just catching up - it's leapfrogging, getting ahead of other countries."
@DomSchiener, Co-Founder of IOTA, on the opportunity ADAPT represents for Africa to build world-leading digital trade infrastructure.
We reported a critical loss of funds bug to @Thorchain (32M TVL, 150M FDV)
They silently patched it and told us their bug bounty program is permanently retired.
We have more Thorchain chain halt DoS vulns. We intend to release them (open disclosure) in the coming few days
In Kenya, we connected to 34 different government systems.
Getting their data. Putting it on chain.
Making it verifiable. Making it shareable.
That's what real-world adoption looks like.

"International trade is a teamwork. What IOTA brings is interoperability - one common way of sharing data so people can trust it and know who they're working with."
@JensLundNielsen, Head of Global Trade & Supply Chains, on what IOTA brings to ADAPT.
From cloud computing to blockchain infrastructure, each wave of technology changes how the world moves.
@iota understands what comes next. Bringing real-world systems onchain in a way that is scalable, trusted and built for adoption in Europe.
That’s exactly why SWC EU partnered with IOTA, because Europe has an opportunity to lead in the next era of digital infrastructure, if we get the policy and innovation balance right. 🛡️💜
