🚨 $ICP JUST TOOK AIM AT THE ENTIRE SaaS INDUSTRY!
@dfinity have released more OpenSaaS promises!
They've released a full AI-powered business software that companies can own and customise themselves without SaaS subscriptions which is powered by tamperproof Cloud Engines.
@Ripple just opened a Wall Street swap desk. Stocks, indexes, and crypto. One balance sheet.
A central bank does three jobs: it issues the money, it runs the settlement system, and it stands in the middle when credit is extended.
Ripple is lining up the same three. RLUSD is the money. The XRP Ledger is the settlement system. Ripple Prime is the credit desk, and Delta One is that desk going live.
Little by little Ripple is becoming a central bank of its own kind. XRP is the reserve asset at the center. The reserve is the scarce asset the rest of the system is organized around. Today was more confirmation.
Next comes another license, another market, another hour they stay open. That’s how the bank gets built.
🔥JUST IN: The UK government is officially mandating the Bank of England to advance stablecoin and digital money innovation.
🇬🇧 This is massive for crypto adoption. When one of the oldest central banks in the world is legally instructed to foster digital currency integration, institutional capital and global adoption follow.
The race for digital asset dominance is heating up. Bullish. 🚀
🚨HUGE: Quant’s newly granted U.S. patent drops huge hint as it mentions @Ripple and @Hedera’s Hashgraph.
The patent is built around communication between different DLTs, meaning networks like XRPL and Hedera fit the exact multi chain world Quant is building to connect.
Will we see $QNT 🤝 $XRP 🤝 $HBAR working together?👀

WHERE ARE THE $VELO HOLDERS? BECAUSE THE INSTITUTIONAL SIDE OF THIS ECOSYSTEM IS GETTING SERIOUS. 👀
Look at the names already touching Velo’s infrastructure.
UOB Venture Management made a second strategic investment into Velo Labs.
Velo’s current strategic network includes Stellar, Visa, UOB, Seven Bank, CP Group, HashKey Capital, Hanwha, Copper and Cactus Custody.
Then you get into tokenized assets.
Velo incorporated exposure to BlackRock BUIDL, tokenized by Securitize, into USDV’s reserve architecture.
Its joint venture with Lightnet and OpenEden is targeting tokenized U.S. Treasuries, corporate treasury services, stablecoin issuance and cross-border institutional settlement.
The initial markets include:
Singapore.
Thailand.
Philippines.
Indonesia.
And settlement is being designed around currencies including USD, THB, PHP, IDR, SGD and HKD.
That tells me Velo isn’t thinking small.
The plan is to connect blockchain liquidity with the currencies businesses actually use.
Then $VELO gets pulled further into that design.
Institutions are planned to lock VELO for netting infrastructure, settlement services and credit facilities.
Liquidity providers can stake VELO.
Network fees are designed to fund VELO buybacks.
And live VELO staking is on the roadmap as the network moves toward its Q4 2026–2027 expansion.
This is the kind of utility setup I like studying.
Not simply “who is buying the token?”
I want to know 👇
What happens when businesses actually need the token to access the financial infrastructure underneath them?
That’s the $VELO angle I’m watching. 😎
INSANE:
Carney agreed to a deal.
Had it in place
He spoke with Premiers
He realized this would end his political career
So instead, he allowed 50% tariffs & walked.
Carney has no idea: Trump’s next deal will be worse.
And he will escalate.
FAILURE
Carney didn’t want to do the trade deal because he knew it would help fix Canada. US was asking Canada stop draconian speech laws and outdated environmental laws hampering investment but Carney doesn’t want Canadians to realize how easy it is to unfuck everything..
i think a lot of people misunderstand wealth.
it’s not the rolex.
it’s not the lambo.
it’s not the $2M house.
it’s waking up on a monday morning and not having to worry about paying extra for guac at chipotle.
Ripple's CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, standing next to Trump at the White House today wasn’t by accident.
The companies building the new financial rails have always been in the room that writes the rules, they made sure this man was in the frame for a reason.
Jeonbuk Bank is the first regional bank in Korea to deploy Ripple Payments, replacing multi-day SWIFT transfers with near real-time, 24/7 cross-border settlement for its business customers. Our third Korean partnership this year, after Kyobo Life Insurance and Kbank, partnering on custody, wallet infrastructure and payments.
Korea’s leading financial institutions are building with Ripple: https://t.co/oSW94lTJ85
Two months in, Zebec Enterprise on @StellarOrg is moving from launch to adoption.
9 enterprise accounts are now running USDC payroll on Stellar, reaching an annualized payroll run-rate of ~$4M.
And the infrastructure around that payroll continues to expand.
