$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.
Interesting report on the intersection of blockchain and AI, with a focus on some of the most prominent chains integrating AI and agentic tech. As a global RPC provider, @Ankr is able to gain unique insights into these integrations from the ground floor.
One surprising takeaway is that I didn't realize that @NEARProtocol has already become so advanced in this sector.
Of course, all of this on-chain agentic activity requires RPCs, which is why global infrastructure giants like Ankr are becoming more relevant than ever:
Money quote from the article:
"The RPC layer is invisible infrastructure for all of it. Every AI agent that holds a wallet, executes a contract, or settles a payment does so through RPC infrastructure."
$ANKR $NEAR $KITE
We run RPC infrastructure across 100+ chains.
That means we see the traffic, and see where developers are actually building.

Nothing too crazy from me. Consolidation around the projects built for institutional onboarding, banking and consumer-friendly applications. Then there will be the classic privacy and decentralized projects, which there will always be independent demand for.
A lot of the mid-tier junk, poor business model chains, and hype-driven vaporware projects in between will disappear. Basically, we're experiencing the Web3 equivalent of the period after the dot com bubble, and that's a good thing. Some projects I'm unsure of, but there are also projects that are doing well and which I have no fear of putting my money into right now.
True, and one of the largest RPC infrastructure providers *also* supports @Unichain. (@Ankr processes nearly 20 million monthly RPC requests on Unichain. )🦄
Unichain has been reinforcing its infrastructure layer recently, possibly gearing up for some institutional or "blue chip" onboarding.

I agree. It's also important for chain teams to build some of their own flagship apps because when third parties are the ones building them exclusively, those projects may decide to leave and migrate to other chains if the apps are successful (Polymarket, etc) and to chase hype elsewhere.
Other ecosystems will attempt to lure them away with promises of grants, more liquidity or access to more users.
Always ahead of the infrastructure game.
@Ankr moved away from cloudflare to its own sovereign global fiber network right before demand for optical fiber supply began to skyrocket due to the proliferation of AI and drones.

Haven't followed the Cardano stuff too closely, but a lot of projects and apps wind down (or pivot to chase some shiny new narrative) when the market is struggling. Happened during the dot com bubble as well, but the projects that adapt and *do* survive will become much stronger, much like Google, Amazon and Ebay did when they emerged from the dot com ruins in 2001.

@wolfxredshark@inneroperator Incredible ANKR energy in that post.
Teleportation or not, more people are recognizing that sovereign, next-gen infrastructure is key to building anything worthwhile in this space.

@jaouad2d@defidojo_ Regardless of what happens, it's refreshing to see that people are out here "eyeballing" enterprise-grade infrastructure projects like @Ankr instead of just memes or whatever.
I see a red door and I want it painted purple. 🚪
Bought more $XPR and $LOAN because @XPRNetwork is one of the only blockchain-based ecosystems that has everything I need (and which I actually use) for personal finance.

Remember this when people try to tell you "crypto is over." It's actually just getting started.
Institutional adoption of blockchain tech is happening right before our very eyes on an unprecedented scale. MoneyGram's native stablecoin is going to be issued on @StellarOrg.
Of course, all of this onboarding is going to require some heavy duty infrastructure. Mostly unrelated, but it just so happens that @ankr processes over 150 million monthly RPC requests on Stellar. So it's clear that the Stellar network (and anything that runs on it) is supported by some of the most highly rated Web3 infrastructure providers in the industry.
$ANKR $XLM
Introducing MGUSD.
MoneyGram's native U.S. dollar stablecoin.
Natively issued on @StellarOrg.
Built with @Stablecoin, @M0 and @FireblocksHQ.
Live in the U.S. today.
@mdudas@opensea Totally agree. So many projects are chasing narratives instead of leaning into their strengths and evolving *within* their market niche.
@thebu11runner@therollupco@RichieRichOlly Yeah and also the price of XLM *did* move. It jumped quite a bit relative to how the broader market was/is performing. I actually hope it dumps so I can accumulate some more.
Never let a trending meme on X go to waste. 🟦
Since it looks like everybody is doing this today, we can't allow everyone's favorite Web3 infrastructure provider to be left out. (@Ankr's global RPC network supports over 80 chains).
$ANKR also happens to be listed on Kraken.
