The US repo market accounts for more than $12 trillions in average daily exposures.

This is bigger than you think.

And it's happening on Stellar.

[OpenZeppelin @OpenZeppelin]

Confidential Token is designed for regulated finance: amounts and balances stay private, parties stay visible.

Compliance oversight applies where the rules require it and selective disclosure lets a holder prove a single fact to a third party.

Today, SDF joined @hedera, @AptosLabs, @AvaLabs, @Cardano_CF, and @chainlink in a letter to the SEC on the proposed Regulation Crypto Assets.

The ask: make the 2026 Interpretation’s “digital commodity” classification into regulation.

Durable rules begin with today’s clarity.

[Rivool Finance @rivool_finance]

Ecosystem builders.

One meeting with Brazilian founders, four companies funded, US$ 497,090 for the Stellar community.

A meeting brought Brazilian founders together with @BuildOnStellar Development Foundation and the Stellar Community Fund.
Rivool was backed by the fund in round #37; we wanted more founders to see what this ecosystem can do.

Since then: BWB, @PodsFinance, @chainlesscripto and @infinitybase_, awarded by the @BuildOnStellar Community Fund in rounds #44 and #45.

[The Aha Company @theahaco]

Seed phrases are where most people give up on crypto.

We're building Nido, an open-source smart account wallet for @BuildOnStellar that you open with Face ID or a fingerprint. Every signature is verified on-chain, and you decide how your account works: set spending limits, give dApps scoped permissions, and choose guardians who can help you recover access if you lose your device.

We're launching the Nido alpha at @StellarOrg Meridian. Come find us and create your account on the spot!
