Ledn has a new look.

The standards underneath it are the ones we’ve held since 2018.

Hard assets. Higher standards.

@thepackage1974 @LukePollard And what is Aleppo?

[Simon Barrell @SimonBarrell]

It’s time to raise the signal?

@RoKhanna @RoKhanna America’s #1 France expert. The shopkeepers and many regular people impacted by these riots are not an unholy alliance of wealth and power. They are the people. Rioters are burning down private and public property and beating up innocent citizens. No excuses.

@LeslieMarshall Your reliance on “French Authorities” to form your viewpoint calls into question your journalistic integrity.

@andyburnham What about the government nationalization of Raleigh. You could invest in a new range of cargo bikes? Or develop a pedal cart to replace all those buses. “Power to the People”

@FestAKINBUSOYE Does this vehicle require a heavy goods license?

[Simon Barrell @SimonBarrell]

@Ed_Miliband Very relieved? 😅 you total moron.

@BBCBristol Not a good sign

BTC to stablecoins or gold, all without your assets leaving the platform. For the moments that need something else, not a loan.

Not every lender is created equally. What do you value when looking at a lender?

@TouchlineX Almost is the operative word. If we are talking about sport, the Olympic Games are arguably the pinnacle of sporting excellence, a forum for sportsmanship and celebrating our humanity. How’s that medal table looking?

Play to win, but win or lose, respect!

This is such a beautiful moment from the World Cup.

7 men, from 2 rivals… praying together at the end of their journey this summer.

Opponents on the pitch… together in their faith ❤️

Dayot Upamecano
Bukayo Saka
Maxence Lacroix
Eberechi Eze
Marc Guéhi
Jean-Philippe Matte
Trevoh Chalobah

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.

@VickyVillarruel Soy pirata como decis. No voy a saltar si el Albiceleste mete un gol. Pero si voy a abrazar a mi mujer, mis hijas, mi perra y todos mis amigos que son Argentinos. Somos una flia, celebramos el momento y aprendemos vivir en Paz e harmonia!! Anda contar la plata en tu dragon!!!!

Most crypto holders want a loan against their Bitcoin and never take one | @hodlwithLedn

There's constant argument about Bitcoin vs gold.

But honestly, a smart move could be to just hold both.

Here's why:

Gold has been a store of value for over 5,000 years. It's a $20 trillion asset class. It doesn't correlate with equities. It doesn't have earnings risk. It just holds purchasing power across centuries.

Bitcoin has done something different. Fixed supply. No sovereign issuer. Fully portable. The hardest money our generation has ever produced.

They're not competing. They're complementary.

Gold gives you stability across long time horizons. Bitcoin gives you asymmetric upside with the same hard money properties.

But here's the problem:

Holding both has always meant fragmentation.

Bitcoin on one platform. Gold exposure through ETFs or physical storage.

This creates friction and inefficiency.

And this is exactly what @hodlwithLedn is trying to solve.

Ledn has just added Tether Gold (XAU₮) to the platform. Now on the same platform as your Bitcoin:

→ Hold BTC and XAU₮ in one place
→ Trade across BTC, XAU₮, USD₮ and USA₮
→ Borrow and repay loans in USD₮ or USA₮

Esto sale en excelente momento✅

El #ORO ha caído un 25% desde sus máximos en precio… similar a #bitcoin, los inversores salieron hacia la IA… pero volverán🤷🏻

@hodlwithLedn ahora te permite mantener patrimonio en Bitcoin y XAU₮ en tu Cuenta Transaccional de Ledn

Puedes recibir y pagar tus préstamos en USD₮ o USA₮. Y pronto podrás solicitar préstamos utilizando $XAU₮ como garantía de la misma forma que hoy lo haces con bitcoin😳

Los dos activos más duros al alcance del inversor, en un solo sitio🎯
