Metallicus just got their second FedNow certification.
The first one put them on the Federal Reserve's instant payment rail for live transactions.
This one is Request for Payment (RFP), which means a credit union or business on their network can now request funds from another party in real-time through the Fed's own infrastructure.
Two separate federal certifications. A blockchain company. Processing live transactions on the same rails as JPMorgan and Bank of America.
@MarshallHayner has been building $XPR while the rest of crypto was arguing about memecoins.
It's not a matter of if $XPR Network will return to ATH but a matter of "when". In my humble opinion we would have already seen all offerings in the ecosystem exceed their previous highs had Clarity Act passed last year.
Why you may ask? Look at what Metallicus has accomplished. A-Chain has launched and will be fully implemented this year with the XPR Network being upgraded to complete transactions within 4-5 microseconds making it and $METAL the fastest blockchains in crypto.
Bitcoin VM will enable smart contracts, defi and provide compliance for banks and financial institutions (oh and did I mention it will be super fast!)
Last and one of the most important points, the onboarding of Credit Unions, which over 1600 have access to Metallicus' Blockchain Banking Initiative with 26 stable coins currently in testing.
Metallicus closed Q1 2026 with its fourth FedNow certification. Request for Payment now joins Send, Receive and Liquidity Management.
RFP is the piece that lets credit unions run payment requests, settlement and reconciliation on the Fed's own instant rail.
Most crypto companies are still asking regulators for a meeting. This one is certified infrastructure operating inside the Federal Reserve's payment system.
Same quarter: WebAuth went live on XRPL and a stablecoin pilot opened with 50 credit unions through CrossState. $XPR
The company behind $XPR just completed certification to process live transactions on the Federal Reserve's FedNow instant payment rail.
Not a partnership announcement. Not an MOU. Live transactions.
@MetallicusTDBN is building what they call "bank chains."
Banks communicating with each other on-chain to process payments and handle settlements while staying connected to FedNow. No oracles required.
Meanwhile the same team runs Metal X on @XPRNetwork with $39.88M in deposits and perps testing on testnet right now.
Zero gas fees. Biometric wallet authentication. Fiat on-ramp coming for US, Australia, and New Zealand.
Most L1s are chasing exchange listings. This one is plugged into the Federal Reserve.
Paul Grey has spent six years building and working across blockchain infrastructure, stablecoins, decentralized exchanges, lending protocols, on-chain identity, digital wallets, and crypto on-ramps. Through his work at @MetallicusTDBN he focuses on how banks, fintechs, and financial institutions can safely connect to digital asset infrastructure without losing the customer relationship.
At NZCryptoCon, Paul will present:
The Dollar Is Becoming Programmable: Stablecoins, Capital Flight, and the Next Phase of Digital Money
His talk will break down what stablecoins are, why people use them, what happens when money leaves the banking system for external stablecoins, and why single-bank stablecoins may not be enough without liquidity, interoperability, and compliant places to use them.
Paul will also explore how Metal Dollar is designed as a shared liquidity layer for stablecoins, helping turn isolated digital dollars into a broader regulated digital money network.
🚨 This is what REAL blockchain adoption looks like.
As shipping costs rise, supply chains tighten, and global trade faces increasing pressure…
the solution is already being built.
Take a look at SmartGate.
They’re deploying real-time logistics automation, container tracking, AI verification, and digital infrastructure for global shipping.
And here’s what most people are missing…
It’s being built on the $XPRNetwork.
This proves ethereum:0xd7efb00d12c2c13131fd319336fdf952525da2af is far more than just bridging TradeFi + DeFi.
It’s becoming real-world infrastructure for the next evolution of global commerce.
When supply chain constraints intensify, the systems built for speed, automation, transparency, and instant settlement will become essential.
This is what utility looks like.
Quietly building.
Quietly deploying.
Quietly proving itself.
