Ripple has secured regulatory approval from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), making us the first blockchain payments provider licensed in the DIFC. https://t.co/LnEOSozNB7
This milestone unlocks fully regulated cross-border crypto payments in the UAE, bringing faster, cheaper, & more transparent transactions to a $40B market. 🇦🇪
President Trump’s tariffs are causing chaos. Markets are tanking. He needs to drop his tariffs and come to the table to negotiate a fair trade deal. Until he does, we won’t back down.
"Unless I'm Absolutely Starving, I'm Not Eating Canned Soup Ever Again."
Dr Andrew Huberman
One serving of canned soup everyday for 5 days caused 1,000% increase of toxic BPA in urine.
"Unless You Have A Powerful Reason To Consume Canned Soup---Don't Consume Canned Soup."
More than 1,000 fold increase from only one serving for only 5 days is alarming knowing the harms that BPA does to the body.
BPA is Bisphenol A, a known endocrine disruptor that mimics estrogen in ways that can activate or block estrogenic pathways.
BPA is classified as a hazardous chemical & is banned for use in food products in Europe. The US FDA still states BPA is safe & allows its use in food.
BPA is used to line cans to lock in fresh flavor, but acidic ingredients like tomatoes, break down the BPA into the soup.
Look for "BPA free" labeled cans if buying canned goods. Look also for tomatoes & other products in Tetra Packs or processed in glass jars to avoid BPA.
BPA Bisphenol A Has Numerous Harmful Effects:
Endocrine disruption: BPA can mimic or block hormones, which can disrupt the body's normal functioning. This can affect the reproductive system, mammary glands, metabolism & cognitive function.
Developmental and health problems: BPA can cause developmental & health problems in children, including learning & behavior conditions, early puberty in girls, diabetes, obesity & heart disease.
Cancer: BPA is a factor for the development of various cancers, including breast, prostate, ovarian, cervical, & lung.
Neurodevelopmental diseases: BPA has been linked to an increased of neurodevelopmental diseases, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Respiratory issues: BPA can cause respiratory irritation & may affect normal respiratory function.
Eye damage: BPA causes serious eye damage.
Allergic skin reactions: BPA causes allergic skin reactions.
BPA can be released into the environment at any stage of a product's life cycle, from production to consumption to disposal. You can reduce your exposure to BPA by using BPA-free products, avoiding heat & choosing fresh whole foods.

@Thana_Enosys Thos is exactly the problem with #flare and why the project is failing ..either they don't care because they r already rich ..
Or they just don't understand the business marketing side of crypto
Despite some speculation, $RLUSD isn’t launching today. We’re in lockstep with the NYDFS on final approval and will share updates as soon as possible.
We are fully committed to launching under the supervision of NYDFS and upholding the highest regulatory standards. Stay tuned for updates!
I want Flare to provide a similar service to XRP that Babylon provides for Bitcoin. I will personally pay a grant of $500k in FLR to a group that builds a fully fledged staking service for XRP on Flare (through FXRP) using Flare’s FDC to slash stake. The purpose would be to allow builders to secure 3rd party services such as oracles, L2’s, DID & compute networks with staked FXRP.
A request for a proposal will be released in the coming weeks.
$XRP is cult. It’s a new religion. These people are sick in the head
They aren’t tempted to sell. You could wake up to $589 and they wouldn’t flinch.
Your only decision: Will you join us ?
$FLR The trend line looks exactly the same as last year. See left. But this year, the market is much stronger. We have Fassets go-live & moving into a full fetched bull run
Last year $FLR reached ATH from current level in just 2 weeks. So I expect ATH before Christmas 🎅🚀
Flare Data Connector (FDC), a key protocol for @FlareNetworks and core to FAssets, is progressing daily 🔥
With the community's support, FDC is now live on Coston and is prepared to launch on Songbird in December.
Data providers, start your engines ☀️ More details on migration: https://t.co/YObFAFtR5x
Ripple's #RLUSD stablecoin is gearing up for launch on December 4th. The #XRP Ledger will see huge benefit from having a secure, highly liquid stablecoin integrated into its ecosystem. 🧵 1/11
Operation Chokepoint 2.0 was (is?) a government operation to pressure banks to unbank "disfavored" people and businesses, despite no evidence or accusations of unlawful conduct. The mechanism used, indirect regulation, is a despicable evil that is used as an end run around due process and should be discarded in the dustbin of history.
Indirect regulation is when the government makes one party liable for the criminal actions of another party despite neither actual knowledge, nor willfull blindness, to the facts that makes the action criminal. In effect, it is an affirmative obligation one some to make sure that their perfectly lawful actions don't, without their knowledge, facilitate the unlawful actions of others.
This is a terrible idea for a long list of reasons. Here are just a few::
1) If my bank thinks there's some chance that I might launder money to terrorists and they close my account, I'll just open an account at some other bank that doesn't think that or use less traceable means. The opportunity to surveil my transactions and prosecute me for money laundering or facilitating terrorism is lost.
2) If the government wants to punish me for a crime, it has to charge me with the crime, let me confront its witnesses against me, and present a defense in front of a neutral judge. If the government convinces others that I might be doing something wrong and that they will be held liable if I am, I get no due process at all.
3) Often what makes others think we might be engaged in crimes is speech that is fully protected by the First Amendment and for which the government may not punish us. Indirect regulation allows the government to punish us indirectly (through loss of vital business relationship) for speech for which it is Constitutionally prohibited from punishing us.
4) It is also an end run around the Fourth Amendment. When we diclose information to others voluntarily, we lose Fourth Amendment protections for that information. But if the government uses the law to compel others to demand that information from us, they can (and do) later claim we "voluntarily" disclosed it to a third party and thus have no reasonable privacy interest in it. This is Orewellian nonsense.
Our government has become addicted to indirect regulation precisely because of these evils. It is cheaper and easier to pressure someone else to punish me than to charge me with a crime and give me due process. But the government ought not punish people without giving them due process. It is easy to pressure banks to cut-off disfavored businesses than to make that business illegal. But if the government wants to stop some commercial activity, it should go through the proper lawmaking process, with full political accountability, to prohibit it, not use backdoor secret pressure to drive it underground.
END ALL INDIRECT REGULATION.
One last thing. I don't think we should do witch hunts to try to punish past incidents of indirect regulation, even when there's evidence of bad intent. I wish there was legal precedent to show these end runs around the First and Fourth Amendments were unlawful, but there isn't. That's why we need to do something about it. Getting obsessed about the past will lead to a lot of expensive and complex legal battles and won't do anything to fix the future.
Let's change the future for the better.
