Brad says he’s still amazed how often this myth shows up on crypto Twitter.
Ripple controls the XRPL is the most misunderstood claim in crypto.
Single-digit share of validators. No proof-of-stake. Owning XRP gives you zero control over the ledger.
Nasdaq has approved the listing of Canary Capital's staked INJ ETF, ticker INJC, Canary said in a November 3 SEC filing.
The fund expects to stake at least 90% of its INJ.

Being an Ethereum L2 comes with a major advantage: you inherit security from Ethereum.
But there's another side to that relationship.
If the goal is to make every layer of a network quantum-resistant, some parts still depend on the base layer underneath.
For @Starknet, that includes its Ethereum bridge and data availability.
So even if Starknet upgrades the parts it controls, completing the bigger transition is partly tied to Ethereum's own cryptographic timeline.
That's the thinking behind exploring an independent L1.
Not because Ethereum suddenly stopped being useful, but because having control over the full stack could give Starknet more control over its security upgrades.
The community has backed further research, not an actual transition. There are still technical and ecosystem questions to answer.
I think the important conversation now is whether the added independence is worth the trade-offs.

Kristen Mierzwa of FTSE Russel says that it all changed when she saw oil trade perpetually via TradeXYZ on Hyperliquid OTC over the weekend with size
"every traditional asset class is thinking that i want that for my asset class too"
"you want to have a trusted source for price, so I think it's on the index providers and exchanges to start making sure we have more price transparency...and we should be the ones calculating that"
🚨WOW: Another one of OpenAI's most powerful executives was helping build Stellar over a DECADE AGO!
Greg Brockman, now OpenAI's President, joined Stellar's board in 2015 after serving as CTO of payments giant Stripe, which helped launch @StellarOrg!
And he isn't the only person at OpenAi who was influential! Founder and CEO Sam Altman was ALSO an early Stellar advisor and board member!
Think about the calibre of people who recognised $XLM's potential from the very beginning!
“An AI agent Harness is the surrounding software infrastructure, memory systems, tool-use loops, and guardrails that wrap around a base model (such as a multimodal Large Language Model or MLLM) to let it execute real-world tasks reliably.” —from Google AI

🇭🇰 HONG KONG TO LAUNCH 400-OZ GOLD-BACKED TOKEN!
Hong Kong will launch a token representing a 400-ounce gold bar.
Its aim is to make Hong Kong a global gold trading hub.
This step is super bullish for RWA and crypto adoption.
Morning coffee, quiet thoughts, and watching how different layers of the ecosystem fit together.
The health of this space isn't measured by a single metric; it’s shaped by how fundamentally different ideas balance one another.
At the core sits @1096361BTC, functioning like an immovable pillar of digital archaeology. Those untouched coins from Satoshi's time remind us that before the speed and leverage, the entire revolution began with absolute scarcity and cryptographic trust. Having that quiet, immutable point of reference keeps things grounded when markets get distracted.
Then comes the capital layer with @zerufinance. Decentralized finance can only expand so far under primitive overcollateralized models that lock away more liquidity than they generate. By tackling smart credit infrastructure and pushing capital efficiency forward, it addresses the structural plumbing needed to make on-chain liquidity actually productive rather than purely speculative.
And moving right to the execution frontier, @meetmotes bridges intent into action. Transforming on-chain identity into autonomous smart accounts on Robinhood Chain giving your digital presence the agency to interact with protocols and execute strategies directly takes us away from passive asset holding into real, dynamic participation.
Scarcity, capital efficiency, and autonomous coordination. When you line them up, you see the past, the infrastructure, and the forward edge working in tandem.
Wishing you a clear head and steady focus as the day gets rolling.
🇮🇳 Crypto cards are drawing regulatory scrutiny in India.
The RBI and FIU-IND are reportedly examining offshore crypto cards, including RedotPay, amid concerns that stablecoins may be used for everyday payments while bypassing domestic payment rules and FEMA requirements.
The key question: How will India regulate crypto-linked payments without stifling innovation ?
More clarity may be coming. ⚠️
⚠️ SECURITY: An unnamed EU entity lost over $106M from multiple crypto exchange accounts on Sunday, per ZachXBT.
The attacker swapped stablecoins into $ETH and pushed part of it into Monero. ZachXBT says it’s not North Korea’s Lazarus this time. 👀
Another week, another nine-figure hack.
Vornado Realty Trust's latest SEC filing.
Ripple Labs is listed as a tenant at 315 Montgomery Street in San Francisco, alongside Bank of America and Blue Shield.
In simple terms, Ripple shares the same commercial property with some major financial and corporate names.

INSIGHT: Crypto will keep moving forward no matter who wins the midterms, per Grayscale.
The US accounts for only ~15–20% of global crypto activity, crypto has bipartisan support, and institutions like BlackRock, Visa and JPMorgan are already building.
Elections can move crypto at the margins. They can’t stop it. 💯
Ripple’s @_JackMcDonald_ makes one thing clear:
RLUSD adoption doesn't come at the expense of XRP.
Every RLUSD transaction on the XRPL creates demand for XRP as the network's native gas token.
The growth of one can strengthen the utility of the other.
