🚨IT'S HAPPENING: 🇺🇸 Senate Republicans have FORMALLY introduced a 56-page CRYPTO TAX BILL that would overhaul how the U.S. tax code treats STABLECOIN payments, STAKING, MINING, LENDING and digital-asset TRADING.

TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS WILL FLOW INTO THE CRYPTO MARKET.

THE GREAT RESET!🔥👁️

[Derek Chiang | Ethlabs @decentrek]

Ethereum has had 100% uptime since its inception, so it’s worth asking why @ethlabs_org and EF are redesigning its consensus protocol. I want to provide some context.

Ethereum today runs what researchers call an "ebb-and-flow" consensus protocol. "Ebb-and-flow" refers to the fact that the protocol is actually two protocols in one:

- There's an "availability protocol," also called a "fork-choice rule," which can produce blocks even when a majority of Ethereum's stake are offline. This is what would keep Ethereum producing blocks even if a nuclear war took out most of the internet.

- There's a "finality gadget," which makes a block irreversible after some time. This is why we can all go to sleep at night knowing that our transactions won't be reverted when we wake up.

However, for historical reasons, these two protocols are tightly coupled on Ethereum. Every block, a subset ("committee") of Ethereum validators send votes ("attestations") to produce blocks, and the very same votes are used to finalize blocks over a long range ("epochs"). The fact that the same votes are used for both protocols means that, if you were to reduce the votes used for the availability protocol, which would speed up block production, you would need more blocks to achieve finality, which would delay finalization. On the other hand, if you were to use more votes for the availability protocol, it would speed up finalization but slow down block production. You cannot speed up both at the same time.

On the other hand, Ethereum's fork-choice rule (formally named "LMD-GHOST") has been discovered to have multiple vulnerabilities over the years. For example, it was discovered (by researchers including @casparschwa and @barnabemonnot) that you could secretly accumulate votes for a fork, then reveal it later to reorg out a new block. There have been consistent efforts to patch these vulnerabilities, but they are generally seen as bandaid fixes that introduce further complexity and bug surface into the protocol.

So Ethereum's new consensus design, called "decoupled consensus", is an ambitious attempt at tackling both problems at once:

- Decouple the availability protocol from the finality protocol, so both can be optimized independently.

- Fix vulnerabilities with the availability protocol.

The way this is done, in broad strokes, is this:

- We replace LMD-GHOST with a new algorithm called Goldfish, alongside a "stabilization gadget" which is another sub-protocol that prevents Goldfish from re-orging over an arbitrarily long range.

- We run the availability protocol (Goldfish+stabilization gadget) and the finality protocol in parallel, with separate votes.

The result? Ethereum will provide both fast finality and fast block times, AND it will keep producing blocks during World War III. Of all blockchains, Ethereum will be the only blockchain with these properties, and that's why it will be the settlement layer of the global economy.

‼️THE XRPL IS UPGRADING TO PREPARE FOR THE DTCC’S TOKENIZATION WORKING GROUP‼️

“For the FIRST TIME, XRPL supports confidential transaction metadata that allows institutional participants to transact WITHOUT exposing counterparty or amount information to all ledger observers…”

Institutional privacy features are coming to the XRPL.🔥

“…this feature EXPLICITLY designed for the compliance-sensitive institutional settlement use cases that Ripple has been building toward with Kyobo Life, Kbank, the Mastercard pilot, and the DTCC working group participation…”✅

Documented below.📝👇

THE BLOCK: The Ethereum Foundation launched zkAPI on mainnet, based on a design co-authored by Vitalik Buterin.

It lets users pay for AI and other APIs from prepaid $ETH or $USDC using zero-knowledge proofs, so providers can't link requests to who paid.

FINAL UPDATE: After getting more context from multiple sources, the ongoing situation looks a lot more like last year's Kiln situation where there was a potential infra breach in which the node operator proactively exited the relevant keys out of caution.

For users, the liquid staking operations are non-custodial so we have been told that no funds are at risk of being stolen.

In the event of the worst case scenario, it appears to be orders of magnitude smaller than the recent KelpDAO exploit. It seems to be contained.

We have not heard official comms from Consensys on the status of Metamask infra. We are looking forward to an update from their team.

We do not expect any contagion across liquid staked ETH, restaked ETH, or DeFi at large.

Several protocols mentioned in my previous posts have taken action proactively, and others may continue to do so.

For now, it seems that we are safe, “funds safu”, but we await the post-mortem from the protocols involved for the sake of transparency.

Will keep you updated as the situation develops.

📊 @fundstrat says Ethereum DATs already hold 7% of ETH supply, and could reach 15% this cycle.

He explains why DATs drive prices at the desk from @kbwofficial.

The XRP reprice is going to be biblical.

The XRP Ledger is getting active. The utility we talked about is now coming live.

You can now literally get exposure to Gold, silver and U.S. stocks with your XRP wallet.

RLUSD’s August report just showed institutions are coming.

Ripple Treasury. DTCC Tokenization. Permissioned Domains. On-chain privacy from @DNAOnChain.

It’s all coming. The institutions are on standby. JP Morgan connecting the XRP Ledger to banking rails was the test.

ALL THE MONEY is going to be routed through the ledger.

Many have lost patience by the price suppression. That’s about to change, the timing is very precise.

It’s going to be biblical. $XRP $XDNA

🚨CONFIRMED: Evernorth Merger Vote OFFICIALLY PASSES — 473.3 MILLION $XRP Moves Toward NASDAQ 🤯🇺🇸🔥

This was the vote everyone was waiting for — SHAREHOLDERS SAID YES. ✅

@evernorthxrp can move toward CLOSING the deal, subject to the remaining conditions. 👀

And we’re talking about 473,276,430+ $XRP ALREADY purchased or committed. 😳

👉 Evernorth's strategy is to use treasury + ecosystem strategies to GROW XRP PER SHARE over time.

"Privacy bears are about to get a really nasty surprise in the next couple of years"

"If @zama is successful on top of Ethereum, it gets a lot more money running on it... same for Solana"

@randhindi outlines why being against onchain privacy is like being short all of crypto:

[Rand @randhindi]

This great report by @DefiLlama is a very detailed analysis of confidential DeFi, with a deep dive on @zama . Must read if you are interested in the space! Oh, and the Zama TVL numbers have almost doubled since then, and is now sitting at ~90m shielded TVL :)

[Coin Bureau @coinbureau]

It's OVER.

The SEC and CFTC are done waiting for the CLARITY Act.

Regulators have now made at least 9 moves to build crypto rules without Congress.

1. SEC Crypto Task Force
- define what is and is not a security

2. Project Crypto
- modernize SEC rules for onchain markets

3. SEC-CFTC crypto guidance
- classify crypto assets into clearer categories

4. SEC-CFTC harmonization MOU
- reduce overlap between the two agencies

5. Joint Harmonization Initiative
- create shared rules for crypto firms

6. CFTC Innovation Task Force
-speed up crypto and blockchain market rules.

7. CFTC crypto FAQs
- clarify how registered firms can use blockchain

8. SEC Innovation Exemption
- allow tokenized US stocks to trade onchain

9. CFTC proposed crypto market rule
- create a formal framework for crypto asset markets

Crypto may now move forward without CLARITY Act.

🏦 $QNT JUST DEMONSTRATED PROGRAMMABLE SETTLEMENT AT SIBOS

Quant and Murex demonstrated a tokenized U.S. Treasury repo settled against tokenized bank deposits.

The entire workflow was operated through Murex’s MX.3 infrastructure, including a second transaction that was rejected and fully rolled back without changing ledger state.

This is the kind of real banking infrastructure $QNT has been building toward.

Imagine 1 million AI agents making 100 interactions every day. That’s 100 million machine actions daily.

Now look at what Hedera is building around hedera-hashgraph:native.

This is the part that changed how I look at the AI + HBAR story.

HCS-14 is designed to give AI agents a universal identity across different systems.

Google A2A.
Anthropic MCP.
Virtuals.
IBM ACP.
Olas.
Ethereum.
Hedera.
REST.
WebSockets.
gRPC.

The agent does not have to live entirely on Hedera.
It can exist somewhere else and still use Hedera-connected infrastructure for:

identity
registration
proofs
audit logs
trust updates
skills
payments

That opens a much bigger market.

Now combine it with HCS-10.

Agents can discover each other, create communication channels, exchange messages and even charge one another before a connection starts.

That means HBAR can act as economic friction against spam.

Then add x402.

An agent can automatically pay another agent for:
API access
data
compute
digital services

using HBAR.

No checkout page.
No credit card.
No human clicking “pay.”

The software handles it.

Now think about how different that is from normal crypto adoption.

Most crypto models still depend on people deciding to buy a token.

Here, the end user might never buy HBAR manually.
The company running the AI system can handle that in the background.

Its agents simply need HBAR to operate.

That creates the possibility of:

machine-generated HBAR demand.
And if Hedera’s agent standards become widely used across different AI ecosystems, HBAR could become more than a network fee token.

It could become:

machine gas
machine access
machine anti-spam
machine payments
machine working capital

That’s the hedera-hashgraph:native update I’m watching now.

🔻Latest news: NESARA GESARA is now fully activated – the quantum financial system is live, while the slave matrix of the dark power elite is collapsing worldwide!

Insider sources confirm that NESARA and GESARA, long awaited, are now being fully activated, delivering the greatest wealth transfer in human history directly to the people. This will change everything from health and abundance to true freedom from tyrannical shadow governments. The U.S. Treasury is protected by good forces, along with police and military, while the old paper money system faces its final destruction.

The quantum financial system is now fully operational, with banks worldwide completing the switch. SWIFT has collapsed, while protected satellites are running a new, indestructible network. Gold-backed currencies are surging, with Russia and China leading the push for a gold standard. Countries are dumping the worthless dollar, in a coordinated move to permanently bury the petrodollar empire.

Patriots report real-time debt cancellations across America and elsewhere. Credit card debt, student loans, car loans, mortgages, and medical bills are disappearing from accounts. The IRS system is down, while major bank websites crash during the transition. This is a gradual rollout to prove the system works, as the dark power groups panic in the final stages of their collapse.

XRP and Stellar Lumens are driving this new decentralized reality, enabling asset-backed transactions instantly without banks or intermediaries. Assets seized under Trump’s executive orders will be available to the general public through secure digital wallets. Ordinary people can freely invest in stocks, real estate, commodities, and digital gold.

Medical beds and suppressed healing technologies are being prepared for wide-scale use to eliminate disease and reverse aging for humanity. Free energy devices will destroy utility monopolies, while zero-gravity transportation will revolutionize travel. The homeless crisis will end as massive capital flows into community and environmental projects.

From a world just a few years ago controlled in every way by the dark power elite, good forces have now taken full control at high speed. Common law principles will restore peace and financial privacy. Precious metals will serve as collateral for all currencies, bringing stability and sovereignty. The former Federal Reserve has collapsed, and media control will be cleansed forever.

Compliance with Basel III standards forces banks to hold gold as a certain asset class, while the QFS integrates everything. Universal basic income (UBI) flows to billions of people through the XRP system, lifting entire continents out of poverty. The dark power groups’ markets are collapsing, and crypto pump-and-dump schemes are exposing their money laundering networks, while arrests are speeding up behind the scenes.

The rainbow-colored USN currency will soon appear, replacing Federal Reserve notes with Treasury-backed aesthetics. There will be no income tax anymore, only a fair consumption tax on non-essential goods. Banks can no longer touch or steal money under the new quantum protection. This decentralized system will empower the unbanked and end exploitation forever.

The storm is raging; nothing can stop what is coming. The white hats are bringing justice, as an era of cooperation based on love replaces fear and control. QAnon has been proven correct, and a golden age is beginning with abundance, healing, and true sovereignty for everyone. The children are safe, and the traitors have lost.

Share !

Holding government treasuries is the greater fool theory at empire scale

Dollars will be continually printed to pay the otherwise-unpayable debt. As they're printed, a holder of fool-bonds will demand higher rates to compensate for the debasement. This will continue gradually until panic happens and then greater fool theory is answered.

Don't own fool-bonds and minimize exposure to fiat.

This is financial advice.

Crypto and Super Intelligence go hand in hand.

Super Intelligence will 100% need to use Crypto in order to transact.

Do you understand what this means?

We will see mania again, not only will millions of people be buying our coins but trillions of Super Intelligence Agents will be buying alongside them.

Not only will you get rich af if you hold Crypto before this happens, but SI will skyrocket out ability to produce things which will reduce the cost of EVERYTHING.

We are entering the Age of Abundance.
