New Cardano Roadmap just dropped! 🚀

After the majority of Input Output's proposals got funded, let's take a look at

- what's actually being built
- & which new features we can expect over the coming year and beyond

“We have to get the TradFi Dollars over to DeFi.”

RWAs have proven demand, distribution is the next challenge. It’s how the rails get built to take this from billions to trillions.

In this special episode of Capital Rails, we sit down with Mike Cagney, Co-Founder & Executive Chairman of Figure Technologies (Nasdaq: FIGR), alongside @ysiu to examine how the distribution layer for on-chain RWAs is being built. @NUVAFinance has officially launched on Ethereum, serving as a distribution layer that connects some of the largest institutional RWA pools on Provenance Blockchain, including @Figure’s natively on-chain home equity lines of credit through @HastraFi, to the broader DeFi ecosystem.

パランティアの人間からバルファキスが聞いた話。本当なら今すぐ地獄の業火に灼かれるべき。

ガザの住民密集地を🇮🇱が爆撃する時のスマホを持って逃げ惑うガザの人々の動き「パニックインプリント」をAIに食わせて訓練し「パニック防止AI」として英国NHSに14億ドルで売った

Two Black boys running a lemonade stand received an unexpected show of support after someone called 911 on them. Instead of shutting them down, Kansas City police officers and firefighters showed up to support them, helping them earn hundreds of dollars. This is what community should look like! Investing in our youth instead off discouraging their entrepreneurship. ✊🏿

The United Nations Development Programme @UNDP just launched its Blockchain Advisory Group with 26 member orgs.
First focus: financial inclusion & digital finance in underserved economies.

Orgs include @ethereumfndn, @StellarOrg , @AlgoFoundation, @arbitrum, @FilFoundation, @Cardano, @AvalancheFDN, @krakenfx, @Celo, @Cointelegraph.

UNDP is already working with governments and ecosystem partners across Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, Central Asia, and Asia-Pacific on applications spanning digital payments, financial inclusion, climate finance, digital identity, supply chain traceability, public procurement, and service delivery.

Among the use cases already live: land registries in India, aid distribution in Malawi, digital identity for 70,000+ beneficiaries, and on-chain payroll saving $453K/month in Syria.

Formalizing an advisory group at this scale points to the UN shifting from fragmented country-level deployments toward coordinated institutional infrastructure for blockchain across public systems globally.

Hussam Ebu Safieh, "İsrail'in rehineler için ölüm cezası" ile öldürülecek olan Filistinli doktorlardan biridir (diğer 95 doktor arasında).

Onu öldürmelerine izin verme.

The power of globally connected onchain capital markets: someone allocating stablecoins to Hastra in Indonesia is helping lower the mortgage rate of somebody in Virginia.

Fannie Lou Hamer one of my mother of the civil rights movement. She was brutalized by Jim Crow democrats in Mississippi for the right to vote.. did you know she was sterilization against her will.she went into the hospital for a different routine issue. they did that to thousands of black women across America, including California.

"Los soldados israelíes me abofetearon, me patearon, me rompieron el coxis, me agredieron sexualmente... arrancaron mis pantalones y mi ropa interior, me insertaran una mano... a otras personas les insertaron armas dentro."

Juliet Lamont, una cineasta de documentales australiana y activista de la flotilla humanitaria de Gaza, denunció ser víctima de una violación por parte de los soldados terroristas de "Israel".

No verás esto en TV ni en la prensa occidental, "Israel" violó a mujeres que llevaban medicinas y alimentos a niños en Gaza... y a sus gobiernos occidentales ni siquiera les importa.

New York City just made history. 🗽

Proud of my friend @EdwinRaymondNYC 🙏🏾

Mayor Zohran Mamdani has appointed Edwin Raymond, former NYPD Lieutenant, whistleblower, and author of An Inconvenient Cop, as the new Sheriff of New York City.

Edwin Raymond didn’t just survive the system. He fought it from the inside. He led the largest civil rights lawsuit in NYPD history challenging illegal arrest quotas. He exposed racial profiling when it was career suicide to do so. And he wrote the book — literally — on what real accountability in policing looks like.

Now he’s running the office.

This is what it looks like when a mayor chooses justice over politics. Mayor Mamdani called him “principled, courageous and deeply committed to justice” and the record backs every word of that.

The city is watching. The country is watching. And for once, the right person is in the room. 👊🏾

BREAKING:

Israel just carried out a horrific massacre in Maarakeh, South Lebanon.

Dropping bombs on residential buildings.

Children are being pulled from under the rubble of their own homes.

Entire families wiped out.

The scenes are devastating.

Let's do it 💪

Kentucky mother hides a camera in her nonverbal autistic son's hair after suspecting he was being abused at elementary school.

Tiphanee Lee says she suspected something was off when she received complaints about her son's behavior at school.

Lee decided to take matters into her own hands and put a small camera in her son's dreads.

When Lee reviewed the footage, she heard noises while her son's head moved around as a staff member accosted him.

"While this was happening there was adults in the room who did nothing to stop it. This is unacceptable," Tiphanee said.

The incident is reportedly under investigation.

If 9 Jewish paramedics were killed ANYWHERE in the world it would be called terrorism.

And we’d never hear the end of it.

Israel slaughtered 9 paramedics in 72 hours, most of which we’ve seen on film, and we only hear their names on Twitter.

Most people think slavery only happened in the South... but in 1851 nearly 500 Mormon settlers brought dozens of enslaved people to California, a state where slavery was already illegal, and never told them they were free.

👀 One of those enslaved people was a woman named Biddy Mason who walked 1,700 miles on foot from Mississippi, took her enslaver to court when she finally learned the truth, and died one of the wealthiest women in Los Angeles. There is a monument in San Bernardino honoring the men who built this city... but there is nothing honoring the enslaved people who built it?‼️🤔
