🚨 WSX NEWS: @Chainlink has unveiled CCIP 2.0, an upgraded cross-chain interoperability protocol designed to support secure transfers of institutional capital across blockchains. The platform has reportedly processed more than $84 billion in cross-chain transactions, with the latest version introducing Cross-Chain Verifiers (CCVs) to enable customizable security frameworks.
Institutions can integrate additional verification layers using services such as Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud while retaining control over compliance requirements and transaction processing. CCIP 2.0 also addresses tokenized-asset fragmentation through policy-based controls, including KYC, AML, and sanctions screening powered by Chainlink’s Automated Compliance Engine (ACE).
Tokenised stocks are coming to Sei Network...
@SeiNetwork has just announced a collaboration with @DinariGlobal which will see its more than 700 tokenised stocks go live on $SEI's scalable blockchain rails.
Dinari's 'dShares' will be tradable via self-custody wallets using @Circle's $USDC stablecoin.
$QNT will overtake outdated blockchain interoperability because it has built in the design required for trillions of volume in a production deployment.
Whereas others have conducted technical experiments in limited scope.
LATEST: 🇺🇸 The SEC's trading and markets director Jamie Selway told Bloomberg that if tokenized trading gains traction under the agency's 5-year Innovation Exemption, "it'll be really hard to remove the exemption."

Comment 'evidence' and I'll send the risk-validation questions.

Money is entering a new era, and this week the UK proved it with real customer money.
UK banks and @UKFtweets have completed the first live customer transactions using tokenised sterling deposits on #GBTD, the platform built by @quantnetwork. Two remortgages and a marketplace purchase, each settling automatically the moment agreed conditions were met.
This is the move from simple push/pull transfers to #programmablepayments. Same trusted bank money, same protections, now able to carry its own rules.
And it happened on shared infrastructure, with #tokeniseddeposits moving between institutions on a common platform built for the whole industry.
This is where money is headed: programmable, always-on and moving seamlessly across the financial system.

Chief Business Officer of @AvaLabs shares his thesis on why chasing incrementally faster and cheaper was the wrong game.
John Nahas: "The tech wasn't built for that. I think the expansion is going to happen horizontally, and that's where we're different."
"Institutions, enterprises, and governments are going to want their own chain."
"We've had regulators tell us: this can only happen on Avalanche."
LATEST: SEC officials say the first firms could file to operate tokenized U.S. stock trading venues as early as next quarter, following the agency's conditional relief order issued last week.
