I just had a very good call with the Prime Minister of Cambodia, and informed him of my discussions with Thailand, and its Acting Prime Minister. Both Parties are looking for an immediate Ceasefire and Peace. They are also looking to get back to the βTrading Tableβ with the United States, which we think is inappropriate to do until such time as the fighting STOPS. They have agreed to immediately meet and quickly work out a Ceasefire and, ultimately, PEACE! It was an Honor to deal with both Countries. They have a long and storied History and Culture. They will hopefully get along for many years to come. When all is done, and Peace is at hand, I look forward to concluding our Trading Agreements with both!

Bitcoin Exchange Balance
We've recently updated our exchange wallet address labels, which led to a higher reported BTC balance across exchanges. This doesn't mean new BTC appeared β it's the result of more comprehensive data tracking.
We're committed to transparency and improving data accuracy.πππ

Ex-SUI Foundation Managing Director Greg Siourounis Named xMoney Global Co-Founder and CEO to Drive MiCA-Compliant Stablecoin and Payments Program
Shifting market conditions and new ambitions for xMoney Global, the cross-border, inter-bank and unified crypto/fiat integrated payments platform, has created the opportunity for a completely new leadership, growth, and product strategy.
To lead the charge, Dr. Greg Siourounis, award-winning economist and experienced business leader, will join the company as Co-Founder and CEO.
His immediate target will be to focus on strategic deals, regulatory alignment, and market expansion, as xMoney Global looks to build a comprehensive payments platform that bridges legacy financial systems with the potential of decentralized finance.
Serial fintech entrepreneur and renowned economist, Dr. Greg Siourounis brings a vast experience spanning over 25 years of leadership and board roles in various major tech, VC, as well as Managing Director of the Sui Foundation. He also co-founded Cenobe, a cybersecurity service provider, and EveryPay, a fully licensed payment service provider, regulated by the Bank of Greece.
As an economist and academic, his work has been referenced in the 2024 Nobel Prize in Economics, while also being recognized, among other accolades, with the 2005 Young Economist Award from the European Economic Association and the 2008 Austin Robinson Prize from the Royal Economic Society.
As the digital landscape continues to evolve with the coming #MiCA regulation, xMoney Global, a Mastercard principal member, with strategic European licenses, such as e-Money and VASP, intends to lead Europeβs upcoming EU-regulated stablecoin era.
Stablecoins are a key driver of blockchain adoption in todayβs market, already surpassing Bitcoin, remittances, and PayPal in annual transaction volume. Dr. Greg Siourounis will lead the integration of xMoney's advanced blockchain-enabled payments infrastructure with its upcoming stablecoin product.
βWith Europe preparing to embrace MiCA regulation, xMoney Global is positioned to redefine what compliant, secure, and seamless digital payments can be.β said Dr. Greg Siourounis, xMoney Global CEO. βOur goal is to deliver a solid and trusted ecosystem that combines the strengths of traditional finance with the flexibility of blockchain technology to create a future-ready payment experience.β
The launch of #xMoney Global aims to offer a next-gen blockchain-as-a-service module backed by its native stablecoin, with key white-labeled services including acquiring, issuing, onramps/offramps and a sticky loyalty program, all backed by MultiversXβs state-of-the-art sharding technology.
@beniaminmincu, Co-founder of @MultiversX Foundation, said, βThe frontier of payments is being expanded in ways that only recently were made widely possible. Blockchains open the door to direct financial interaction between any party, even cross-border, while MultiversX makes these transactions near free and instantly settled. Very excited to bring this to the people by working hand-in-hand with industry veterans like Greg.β
What does growth really look like? πͺ
Itβs strategy talks, big stages, early flights, late-night brainstorms, and most of all...people!
Hereβs your backstage pass to xMoney leadership in action last week. From @shoptalk Europe to @money2020, and C-level syncs with the team, weβre moving the mission forward.
