Is this the story of two paths where individuals can settle for using the DTCC’s tokenized stock version on there Dtcc ledger that goes live in 3days and let them make all the money
or a IST “issuer sponsored token” that’s on the ISSUERS LEDGER provided by computershare & securitize to keep track of before it goes to the Dtcc
along with the settlement ledger 👀 to make sure the right amount of shares and share price for instant settlement are correct for compliance in circulation
for the new transition to WEB3 where you’ll be able to do a lot more with your digital asset instead of trading if it’s in your name?? 👈🏻👈🏻DYOR
@John_Hempton can u help us with this??😶🌫️😶🌫️ or am I at the wrong ♟️ table?? 🤣😆🤣😆
The Clarity Act is a consumer protection bill: strong AML/KYC, real tools for law enforcement and state AGs. Leave it on the table and consumers are left twisting in the wind with the status quo with no clear standards for bad actors to exploit (again).
Perfect can't be the enemy of good. Let's get this done.
Securitize's Issuer-Sponsored Stock Token: Why DeFi Rails Need Real Shares, Not Wrappers
SECZ issuer-sponsored tokens on solana:So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 and avalanche-2:native put real NYSE shares on-chain, not synthetics. What changes for DeFi, compliance, and settlement.

"We actually had more demand than supply."
After moving tokenized securities into live trading, @The_DTCC's @nchakar says institutions were lining up to participate.

Issuer-Sponsored Token (IST) with the transfer agent is generally better for direct ownership verification than the DTCC “digital twin” model for these core reasons:
1. The Token Is the Actual Share (Not a Claim on It)
• In the IST model, the token itself is recorded as the official registered share on the issuer’s books by the transfer agent (e.g., Computershare + Securitize). It becomes part of the master securityholder file.
• In the DTCC model, the underlying shares stay custodied at DTC. The token is only a digital twin/entitlement representing a claim on those DTC-held shares. DTC can mint, burn, or reverse it.
Result: With IST, verifying ownership is direct — the blockchain record is the official cap table entry. With DTCC, you’re verifying a secondary representation.
2. Cleaner, Direct Ownership Without Extra Layers
• IST gives the holder direct registered ownership on the issuer’s register (similar to traditional DRS but on-chain).
• No street-name intermediary (Cede & Co./DTC nominee). Voting rights, dividends, and corporate actions flow straight to the wallet/holder.
• DTCC tokens go through additional layers (DTC → participant → beneficial owner), which can obscure direct visibility.
3. Simpler and More Reliable Verification
• IST: Ownership is verifiable directly via the blockchain + transfer agent records (single source of truth, immutable, real-time). Fewer reconciliations needed.
• DTCC: You must confirm the token is still backed by the encumbered DTC shares, plus navigate DTC’s centralized systems. This adds steps and potential points of failure or delay.
4. Other Practical Advantages
• Stronger legal alignment with the actual security (issuer-sponsored vs. third-party entitlement).
• Better for governance and direct issuer-shareholder communication.
• Interoperable — ISTs can still move in/out of DTCC when needed for liquidity.
Bottom line: IST via the transfer agent gives you native, direct on-chain ownership on the issuer’s official register. DTCC’s model is a very useful bridge that adds blockchain functionality on top of the existing massive DTC infrastructure, but it’s inherently one step removed from the core share record.
The DTCC approach wins on scale and ease of adoption for institutions already deep in the traditional system. IST wins on purity, directness, and simplicity of ownership verification
THE DAY AFTER. It was such a distinct pleasure, so immensely satisfying, to be able to report to you yesterday that our second quarter of 2026 with $321.4 million of Adjusted EBITDA was the single best quarterly result in AMC’s entire 106-year history.
With 71 million guests in our theatres, we also had the highest revenues in AMC history, and managed our costs well.
We have generated $228 million more EBITDA in the first half of 2026 than we did in the first half last year.
We finished the quarter with $778 million of cash on hand.
The best way to silence the critics and make the naysayers irrelevant is to produce undeniably good results, in this case for Q2 record results, and that is precisely what AMC has been doing throughout 2026.
To those Apes who stood by us along the way, and especially to those who are with us still, I am not exaggerating in saluting the role you all played in saving moviegoing and saving movie theatres and saving AMC.
Because of your support, your children and grandchildren should be able to continue to enjoy… in theatres… seeing dazzling images on our huge silver screens, just as people have done to their great delight for more than a century.
You don’t solve ‘no assets on the ledger’ by rejecting verification.
You solve it by verifying and owning the true asset.
Real estate. Commodities. Treasuries. Infrastructure. Land stewarded under any law — Great Law included.
Tokenize it. Make ownership continuously auditable. Settlement instant and final. No more fractional claims. No more hidden ledgers. No more ‘trust us, we’re the institution.’
That’s not delusion.
That’s the end of the ability to fraudulently claim what isn’t verifiable.
Sovereignty isn’t declared on paper or in rhetoric.
It’s proven on a transparent, interoperable ledger where the asset is real, the ownership is clear, and the record can’t be rewritten.
We can keep sovereign currencies.
We can honor stewarded wealth.
We just stop pretending fractional fiat and unprovable claims equal actual assets.
The technology exists to verify.
The choice is whether we use it to own what’s truly ours — or keep arguing over ledgers that were never honest to begin with.
Ondo is emerging currently as it is building one of the biggest bridges between Wall Street and DeFi.
They now have well over 400 tokenised stocks on their platform showing how they are making real equities moves onchain!
Currently $ONDO is leading the way. 🔥
Ripple has proposed a lending framework that would let institutions borrow against on-chain assets while the XRPL automates loan servicing, interest, repayments, and defaults.
If approved, this could position XRPL as a serious player in the institutional lending and tokenized asset market.
What did i learn in the past 4 years since this post?
- The XRP community is amazing. I made friends all over the world that share the same passion and dreams as i do. It feels very good to be among those people. They care, are very welcoming and very diverse. From fire fighters, pilots, truck drivers, professors, construction workers to very young students we have such a broad group of people sharing the same denominator - XRP.
- The XRP Ledger is a fascinating piece of tech and i learn something new everyday. I appreciate the design choices of the architects because they are so different yet so logical. Be your own Bank.
- XRPL is also hard work, daily people work to make it a better place, run infrastructure and support those who rely on it. New amendments to onboard institutions and users. Solving problems as they come our way but also celebrating hard our wins!
- Education is key. Education is a powerful tool that makes you unlock new ideas and protects you at the same time.
- Patience! When i joined crypto in 2017 my perception was this is a matter of days. Boy was that naive. Changing the plumbing of the world financial system takes time, is a continuous battle between the old and new guard, what's clear is that's it's inevitable. Motion is on our side.
- Humbleness. There's a lot i may know but also a lot i don't. I'm aware of this. I love learning and seeing people come to the same conclusion but in a different way is an important lesson that there's no one view, not one thesis and also not one reality. There are multiple and people have their own perspectives and that's a very powerful attribute for something that is emerging like blockchain tech is.
- Debates are the code security audits of thesis's and ideas. It gets bombarded and sometimes it can get very rough. At the end, just like with code, you land with a stronger and more robust thesis. The process can tedious but you're happy when you have done it, whatever the outcome is. Honest criticism is the best thing anyone can get.
I couldn't imagine to be somewhere else, working with the XRP fam to rally behind a financial revolution that is bigger than us is a one in a lifetime experience. We got this.
What if the greatest monetary revolution in history isn’t a new currency… but a new standard?
What if every nation could keep its own sovereign currency…
…while every unit became continuously verifiable?
What if trust slowly gave way to verification?
What if transparency reduced friction instead of creating fear?
What if money no longer depended solely on institutional reconciliation, but could also be supported by continuously auditable digital infrastructure?
Imagine a world where:
✅ Sovereignty remains.
✅ Commerce accelerates.
✅ Settlement becomes nearly instantaneous.
✅ Collateral becomes continuously visible.
✅ Interoperability replaces fragmentation.
Not through coercion.
Not through collapse.
But through voluntary adoption, open standards, and better technology.
Perhaps history’s greatest breakthroughs don’t arrive by destroying yesterday…
…they quietly make it obsolete.
The question isn’t whether technology can transform finance.
The question is:
What standard should humanity build toward?
If you had the opportunity to redesign the global monetary system today…
What would you refuse to compromise?
Read.
Reflect.
Challenge every assumption - including this one.
Then comment with your own answer and, if the conversation adds value, share it generously.

@KuwlShow Solid vision. The shift from opaque ledgers to continuously verifiable, interoperable ones is exactly where we need to go.
For me the real on-ramp is DRS + Issuer-Sponsored Tokens. That’s how we move from DTCC-style synthetic claims to direct, programmable ownership on-chain. Tokenization only delivers if issuers control the ledger, not intermediaries.👀
Curious how the XRPL side is approaching issuer-led tokenized assets right now — that feels like the missing practical piece to make the interoperability layer you described actually work at scale.
What do you see as the biggest hurdle to getting real issuer-sponsored models live on neutral bridges like XRPL?🧐🧐

If I could only do one thing after getting to Washington it would be enacting my Washington Clean Hands Act. The level of corruption, self-dealing and grift taking place in Washington within the Executive Branch and Congress is staggering.
