$300T in real-world assets is coming onchain.
Not “if.” When.
The moment it does, lending markets become the backbone of everything: liquidity, leverage, yield.
LOAN Protocol is built for that future.
Bought more $LOAN and $METAL. Finally seeing the re-entry levels I was hoping for since mid 2025. We've all been here before if you remember the pain of 2023-2024. The difference is that now we're (finally) approaching the era where neo-banking enters the spotlight.
These indie lending and finance platforms we've all been enthusiastically using for years are going mainstream. Those like @LOAN_Protocol, which are compliant, fully functional and well established, are among the most prepared for turnkey integration with the financial system.
There are a number of chains (Avalanche, Stellar, etc) that are positioned for the financial and regulatory framework that's reshaping the industry, but few are still as "under the radar" as @MetalBlockchain and @XPRNetwork, which have all of the regulatory and developmental pieces in place but still sit at relatively low cap valuations (some might say undervalued) in the low millions. That could change overnight with even a single bit of powerful news. In the meantime, Loan Protocol works and those who know, continue to use it every single day while we wait for others to show up to the party.

Ankr has always been the infrastructure provider of choice among L2s.
World Chain represents another major RPC integration for @Ankr. Expect this to potentially be a strong partnership going forward due to the technical strength of Ankr's global network and the deep connections in personnel these two projects share with one another.

World Chain is LIVE on Ankr RPC 🌐⚡
Premium users can now build on @world_chain_, the Ethereum L2 made for verified humans, with fast, battle-tested RPC access through Ankr.
World is onboarding millions of real humans onchain.
We’re giving builders the infrastructure to meet them there. 👇
While institutional finance partnerships are making news, it's a good time to remind people that St. Cloud Credit Union and other similarly sized CUs have been working with @MetalBlockchain and @MetallicusTDBN on stablecoin integration. Don't take my word for it though. Here you have the CEO of St. Cloud Credit Union discussing it himself.

Here's Jed Meyer of St. Cloud CU talking about Cloud Dollar ($CLDUSD) and what they're working on with @MetallicusTDBN. This is the beginning of a new era of a more legitimate digital asset industry and @metallicus and @MetalBlockchain are at the forefront of it.
Loaded up more $XPR at these levels. Now that the bridge functionality has been restored, (it was a third party issue nothing to do with the chain) there will be a lot of liquidity flowing in.
Some of us waited patiently all weekend to take advantage of the post-election price action, and the dips have only gotten juicier.

Top 1% of $XPR stakers takes 10M XPR, about $16.4K today vs $22.3K a month ago. Top 10% starts around 918K XPR, roughly $1,500 ⚛️
Cheapest it's been in a while to climb the ranks. Where you at? @XPRNetwork https://t.co/Ss7pnFySfC
In the meantime, I bought more $XPR using the @alcorexchange bridge to onboard funds. If anyone else wants to take advantage of this recent market correction, this is the path.

Marshall says the team is working on an alternate solution to get Metal Pay deposits and withdrawals moving again ⚛️
Appreciate the direct updates. Hoping to see it resolved soon 🤘 ethereum:0xd7efb00d12c2c13131fd319336fdf952525da2af
For a lot of established projects with tokens that have been struggling to find use cases (no, "governance" isn't going to cut it), creating a revenue sharing mechanism like @ankr is doing is the way. When token holders see projects generating revenue while their own bags underperform, they just want a slice of the success.
Every infrastructure-based project or launchpad should offer something like this.

Dude, this is actually alpha. You can now lock up ethereum:0x8290333cef9e6d528dd5618fb97a76f268f3edd4 in the Forge Vault to earn multipliers of Forge points. (Yes, these Forge "points" earn you a share of REAL tokens/money in the monthly Forge drops). In addition to the revenue sharing aspect, locking up tokens takes more out of circulation, off exchanges (creating scarcity) and incentivizes long term holding.
I went ahead and (nervously) put my money where my mouth is and locked up a million ANKR tokens.
Been in it all these years, might as well go whole hog. 🐷

In this rapidly evolving landscape, infrastructure providers can't afford to be complacent with their tech. Even through what has been a mercilessly challenging market climate, @Ankr continues to adapt and make enhancements to its global RPC network.
"Confidential RPC" is their latest innovation.
ethereum:0x8290333cef9e6d528dd5618fb97a76f268f3edd4 $ETH
Introducing Confidential RPC, now live in demo phase.
Every query your app sends can say something about you and your users: which wallets belong to whom, which positions you’re tracking, and the strategy your bot runs on.
Confidential RPC is a mode of Verifiable RPC (vRPC) that encrypts every request and answer end to end between your app and a single attested node inside an Intel TDX enclave. Ankr still routes and bills each call but can’t read what was asked or answered. Every answer is signed by the node and checked by your SDK.
Rolling out across supported vRPC chains.

There are a lot of people who have been eyeballing @XPRNetwork, but aren't sure how to accumulate ecosystem assets since they aren't listed on the primary exchanges that Americans have access to.
If you're in the US and looking for the easiest way to acquire ethereum:0xd7efb00d12c2c13131fd319336fdf952525da2af, $METAL and $LOAN, you can avoid the exchange merry-go-round by just getting the MetalPay app and purchasing them directly with your debit card. (It's available on iOS and Android.)

@MrPickles222@JerryBanfieldIC That doesn't refute his point though, which is that none of that Arbitrum architecture usage captures any value or utility for the ARB token (which isn't even used for gas on its own chain).
