(1/9) Keeta and ASK Group @askgroupae, a UAE-based investment group led by His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Sultan bin Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan @asknahyan, have created a joint venture aiming to tokenize tens of billions of dollars of commodities and modernize cross-border payments in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region and beyond, contributing to the UAE's vision and commitment to growth as a global leader in digital finance and real-world asset infrastructure.
$KTA Keeta is one of the few projects explicitly built as a global clearinghouse rather than a U.S.-only or crypto-only solution. In a fragmented, tokenized, multipolar financial world, its combination of speed, compliance, multi-currency rails, and TradFi connectivity puts it in an elite position.The infrastructure is already being laid. A global reset would likely accelerate adoption rather than hinder it.This is why the “Big Guy” narrative (Sovereign Wealth Funds, treasuries, major banks) feels so relevant right now. Keeta is quietly building the rails the world may need when the old system resets. Every day we get closer. The Network of Networks, The Bank of Banks, The Infrastructure for infrastructure.
Interac processes 1.4 billion transfers a year. Every crypto project that touches it stacks processor fees, on-ramp fees, and network fees on top.
No major Layer 1 has built a native anchor to bypass this.
Until now.
Interac e-Transfer is not just Canada's most popular payment method. It is the domestic rail connecting over 250 Canadian financial institutions for account-to-account transfers. Interac Debit processed 6.6 billion transactions in 2024. Interac surveys report that 88 percent of Canadians have used it at least once.
Most crypto projects access Interac through third-party processors like MoonPay or Coinbase. The user pays the Interac fee, the processor fee, the on-ramp service fee, and the network fee. The transaction clears the bank, then the processor, then the on-ramp liquidity pool before anything settles on-chain. Every intermediary adds cost and latency.
On March 20 2026 the Keeta anchor repository merged PR #229 , "Add account owner name to interac" at milestone v0.0.47. One week later PR #242 "Add intermediary fields to iban" shipped at v0.0.48.
These are not marketing announcements. They are pull requests. The work is verifiable at github.
The account owner name addition is not a minor metadata update. Under Canada's Proceeds of Crime and Terrorist Financing Act, any electronic fund transfer or virtual currency transfer must carry the originator name, address, and account number. This is FINTRAC's Travel Rule. It came into force June 1 2021. Building the account owner name into the Interac anchor payload means FINTRAC Travel Rule compliance is native to every transaction that flows through the anchor. Not a layer on top. Not a manual review. Built in.
Seven days later the team shipped IBAN intermediary fields. IBAN is the international bank account standard that correspondent banks use to route cross-border wire transfers. Adding intermediary fields to the IBAN anchor type is how international wires actually move through the correspondent banking system. Two payment rail updates in one week, domestic Canadian compliance and international correspondent banking infrastructure.
A February 2025 Payments Canada study found that 29 percent of Canadians overall find pay-by-bank appealing. Among newcomers to Canada that figure is 53 percent. Among gig workers it is 47 percent. These are the exact demographics that rely most heavily on cross-border remittances and instant payouts. They are also the demographics most underserved by traditional correspondent banking fees and delays.
Keeta's Interac anchor addresses this directly. A newcomer uses the domestic Interac system they already trust to initiate a transfer. The Keeta anchor settles it globally through whatever rail the destination requires. No third-party processor. No fee stacking. The identity verification happens at the protocol level and travels with the transaction.
The rest of the industry is negotiating with third-party processors to build better deposit buttons. Keeta is shipping the compliance and routing infrastructure required to move global value.
The PRs are public.

@geloniusmusk@xescure@Syno_0x@INTERAC What he is trying to say is that if you need to send money outside of Canada you will use Interac to send money to your Keeta wallet, and with Keeta send it outside of Canada easily
Hi Jesse, Tom here,
I would like to point out a couple of the statements you made, and discuss those to give you a better insight in the situation. This is no attack against you or XRP.
You claimed that XRP/Ripple is leading in tokenization and stablecoins:
Real‑world assets tokenization and stablecoins is largely dominated by Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, and several enterprise (focussed) chains. RLUSD is only a fraction of the entire market. The idea that it leads the entire sector is simply false.
You also claimed that XRP has no competitors (in that field).
That is is like saying Apple has no competitors in smartphones, it sounds good in a bubble, but it falls apart the moment you look outside it. Payments, tokenization, and stablecoins are some of the most competitive sectors in crypto.
Thinking $KTA is meant to replace/compete $XRP to become a global bridge asset completely misunderstands the design. The $KTA token isn’t meant to solve liquidity, their FX anchors for example do. Keeta’s model uses a network of fiat‑backed stablecoins (recently announced that there will be 26 of those native to Keeta network) and anchors that let anyone swap any currency to any other directly in a compliant way. The more anchors that launch, the deeper and cheaper the liquidity becomes. That’s the opposite of relying on one token to fix a "global liquidity crisis".
@KeetaNetwork isn’t trying to replace XRPL (Even though i'm of the opinion that it could), it’s designed to be a network‑of‑networks. Any chain/rail, including XRPL, can anchor into Keeta Network to operate on a unified, compliant, high‑performance settlement layer. The goal isn’t to compete with existing chains but to connect them, giving every ecosystem access to shared liquidity, stablecoins, and cross‑chain interoperability.
You said that XRPL is the only blockchain with a built-in DEX/orderbook.
That is not accurate, Keeta has (and will continue to expand) all of that functionality:
- An on‑chain orderbook DEX,
- FX anchors with AMM‑style liquidity, or other models if required. (with resolvers you can access those, and automaticly route through the best option)
- Upcoming smart‑contract support for building custom AMMs and advanced trading models.
None of the above is unique to XRPL.
Ripple claimed to be adding 2–3 customers per week in 2018, not necessarily banks, and most never touched XRP. The idea that this adds up to 1,200+ banks using XRP is just made‑up math. And also, SWIFT has never used the XRP Ledger, that claim is not based on anything factual I could find.
Also worth mentioning is that the DTCC never published any statements regarding them working with ripple, so I definitly have to check your deep dive on that to see what the claim is based upon. Also worth mentioning that the DTCC is working/testing on multiple chains, so it wouldn't be exlusive to XRPL.
Keeta isn’t missing anything in regards to private ledgers. It has subnets that can function as private CBDC ledgers, complete with rule‑engines, compliance controls, and the ability to connect to mainnet for interoperability. Central banks aren’t tied to XRP, they test multiple chains, and nothing shows they’ve chosen XRPL as their CBDC platform.
If you’re genuinely interested in the future of the financial system, I’d really encourage you to do an actual deep dive into the projects that are around, instead of treating it like threats to your XRP investment. I suggest you research Keeta Network, using the documentation, the GitHub repos, the Discord server, and the official X account, they all lay out exactly how the network works, including: subnets, rule‑engines, anchors, compliance, cross‑chain/rail interoperability.
Personally i'm happy to provide more information if requested.
@coinfessions People that say that just want to spend and party, so yeah Indeed it won't change your life.
But it change someone life if your goal is to have Freedom which remove all stress and for example build something (company) with that money.
The @keetanetwork is light years ahead of where it was when $KTA was at all-time highs around $1.60. Keeta main net has been running smooth for months with anchors and apps from:
@alpacadex $PACA (on-chain exchange)
@MurphyOnKeeta $MURF (first FX anchor and community coin)
@footprint_hq (identity anchor for apps that request KYC to remain compliant with government regulations)
And soon to launch @Stablecoin from @stripe (now on Keeta testnet). The @Stablecoin Fiat anchor appears to permit fiat fund transfers directly to or from Keeta's network through traditional banking rails like ACH or SEPA. It also looks like it will allow users to turn their own Keeta accounts into personal neobanks, allowing easily made and managed self-custodial accounts that can tap into traditional banking and payment rails.
As Keeta network grows with additional anchors and apps, the network becomes exponentially more powerful as the different anchors can connect to each other, creating long tensile webs of customizable interconnected financial tools.
The network was built and engineered alongside @GoogleCloudTech and backed by Google founder @ericschmidt as lead investor. This is important because the network can scale to millions of transactions per second while maintaining sub 1 second finality without exponential cost increases.
The foundation of Keeta is now in place and the structure is quickly being built on top. It's only a matter of time until new generation crypto networks revolutionize value custody and transfer. Keeta is extremely well positioned to lead that front.
Our alpacas have been hard at work 🦙
We’re continuously expanding the Alpaca DEX to bring more utility, better tools, and a smoother trading experience for everyone trading on @KeetaNetwork .
Below is a preview of a few of our upcoming features:
$KTA $PACA
Keeta $KTA mainnet activity is spiking from the first app releases. Good to see the ecosystem getting built out and activity climbing.
I expect it to rise even more once the fiat anchors go live
