🌞Pretty big move from $XDC this morning
They've acquired Contour Network, a former trade finance network on R3 Corda
This was a big initiative backed by:
• HSBC
• Citi
• DBS
• Standard Chartered
Previously shut down due to lack of funding, XDC's transforming Contour's purpose around.
This is through XDC acquiring Contour to utilize it as a Stablecoin Lab.
This will work directly hand in hand with XDC's support of USDC.
And the purpose of the lab will be around pilots with banks and corporations, letter of credit settlement, treasury management, etc.
We've already seen XDC establish itself as the premiere trade finance blockchain.
Now they're adding even deeper infrastructure⚙️

Proud to announce XDC just went live on @iTrustCapital and it’s a big deal for U.S. retirement savers to get compliant exposure to XDC inside self‑directed IRAs/401(k)s.
Why this matters:
1. Tax‑advantaged access:
Investors can hold XDC in Traditional/Roth IRAs through a self‑directed structure many advisors and IRA custodians already understand.
2. Institutional plumbing:
iTrustCapital uses a regulated trust‑company custody model for client IRAs, removing DIY operational friction and making onboarding familiar for mainstream investors.
3. Bridge to real utility:
@XDCNetwork is an enterprise‑grade, EVM‑compatible L1 focused on RWAs, trade finance, and institutional workflows, the areas where retirement capital is increasingly looking for transparent, yield‑bearing infrastructure.
$XDC is a different beast this cycle from the last
Last Cycle
• Boring "trade finance" narrative
• Crypto too immature for real utility
• Frameworks on digital trade just started
This cycle
• Narrative's now "Tokenized Global Trade"
• Institutions/Enterprises flocking in
• Multiple countries supporting digital trade
It's no coincidence that XDC has grown so much
As digital trade grows, so does XDC Network.

✅USDC CCTP V2 support

And just like that… $XDC is officially LIVE on @eToro ! 🎉

From global trade to the global stage—XDC keeps leveling up.
This is a huge step for exposure, adoption, and real-world blockchain utility.
Let’s go fam… the future is here.

🌐Seems SWIFT knows a thing or two about innovation
$HBAR $QNT $XDC ALL chosen for SIBOS 2025's exhibitors under the Discover section.
What makes Discover different from regular exhibitors?
In short Discover members are HANDPICKED by SWIFT themselves rather than paying for a membership.
Unlike Exhibitors that we'll see at the event like JP Morgan, IBM, BBVA, etc
All of which are paying good money to present at one of the top annual financial events,
SIBOS 2019's Exhibitor Agreement states that a stand is ~$16,194 for a 24 sq meter booth.
Safe to say the Discover members are in for a pretty nice treat by being selected to present at SIBOS!
More specifically Discover members are curated to be focused towards specific innovation themes.
And some themes around the world of finance today range from CBDCs, AI, ESG Tech, DLT, etc.
Based on everything we've seen it's safe to say these DLTs selected below fit the mold like a glove.
In other words, if you're in the Discover Zone it's not because of the money, it's all innovation.

🔥Binance US is listing $XDC
We’ve been waiting years to see Binance integrate some XDC support,
Better late than never I guess.
Reminded this isn’t Binance Global but Binance US.
While a smaller market Binance US is 100% compliant to US federal & state laws.
So to see them add XDC must likely mean it’s passed the regulatory tests too😉
