What does prime brokerage look like in the digital asset era?

A prime broker gives you two things: access to trade everywhere, and the balance sheet to do it efficiently.

Onchain markets are rewriting both, and @MikeHiggins, International CEO of Ripple Prime, explains how in under 60 seconds.⏱️

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

NGO official Carmen Elena Aleman said children and young people must be at the centre of Venezuela’s earthquake response, warning that while rescuing survivors remains the immediate priority, long-term mental health support will be equally critical.

[Plan International @PlanGlobal]

We are deeply alarmed by escalating conflict in Iran & the Middle East. Reported attacks on schools & the killing of children are devastating. Children must never be targets. We join the UN in calling for immediate ceasefire & full protection of civilians. https://t.co/r3JjGXsuTD

[Plan MEESA @PlanMEESA]

With the start of the new school year in Mozambique now pushed to end of February, Plan International is deeply concerned that thousands of children are missing out on education as the flooding crisis continues to escalate.

Distressing reports today that 104 people have been killed in #Gaza - 34 were children. The world had hope, we now hold our breath. All actors must work harder to ensure the ceasefire holds. Children desperately need lasting peace NOW.

[Plan International @PlanGlobal]

We are deeply alarmed by reports of civilian casualties & forced displacement amid further escalation of fighting in El Fasher. All armed actors need to protect all trapped civilians in the city by ensuring access to humanitarian aid and their safe passage.https://t.co/1WiJM8uWt8

[Plan International @PlanGlobal]

Today’s ceasefire agreement brings a long overdue moment of hope. It must be followed by lasting peace and an urgent scale up of humanitarian assistance, allowing #Gaza’s children to live, heal and dream again. https://t.co/DWOsfuepXB

Around the world, girls continue to get married as young as age 12, often in hope of a better future.

Three girls shared their stories with CNN, providing a rare insight into the realities of child marriage.

(2/2) Our thoughts are with her colleagues and surviving family, and we stand in solidarity with them. Humanitarian workers are protected under International Humanitarian Law and must never be a target in any conflict. https://t.co/g0sZapuDRH

[Plan International @PlanGlobal]

Hundreds of people killed in a landslide in West Darfur, #Sudan. Heavy rains threaten children & families who have fled conflict. We’re working to urgently reach communities with humanitarian aid, but need support to protect lives & help families recover. https://t.co/QFEVb9QPmN

[Plan International @PlanGlobal]

@theIPCinfo confirms famine in #Gaza, leaving more than a million children struggling to stay alive. Aid must be allowed in. This is not a failure of logistics or aid — it is the outcome of brutal war & deliberate starvation. #LiftTheBlockade #CeasefireNOW

Palestinians continue to be starved as Israel blocks aid entering #Gaza and threatens to ban NGOs. Food and medicine that could save lives is perishing at the border. With 100+ peers, we call for immediate ceasefire and open crossings for humanitarian aid. https://t.co/L5vNZRd2xI

[Plan International @PlanGlobal]

Two of our trucks entered #Gaza yesterday. 2,250 food baskets were delivered to @PalestineRCS — enough to feed 9,000 people for 3 days. More trucks are ready. Let them in, protect aid workers, and #CeasefireNOW to stop the famine. #LiftTheBlockade

[Plan International @PlanGlobal]

60,000 people have been killed in Gaza. We must take immediate action - in #Gaza every minute counts. #CeasefireNOW

[Plan International @PlanGlobal]

Each morning, the same question echoes across #Gaza: "will I eat today?" Alongside 100+ organisations, we demand that Israel puts an immediate end to the mass starvation we are witnessing. Time to #LiftTheBlockade & #StopSendingArms.

Adolescence is when gender norms take root. It’s also our best chance to shift them. At 14, 57% of girls believe it’s their job to protect themselves from violence. By 18, it’s 67%. We must act before these harmful beliefs harden. #EndGBV #InvestInGirls.

At least 7 children killed by an Israeli missile in #Gaza while simply collecting water yesterday. Israel blames a “malfunction.” There is nothing accidental about a system that targets civilians & keeps them under siege. Restore the UN-led humanitarian response & #CeasefireNOW.

[Mélina Froidure @melina_froidure]

The fact that @theIPCinfo could not conduct a full analysis underscores the severity of humanitarian access constraints and the urgency of the crisis we are witnessing in #Sudan.

[Plan International @PlanGlobal]

#Sudan is facing the world’s worst #HungerCrisis. We are already seeing signs of mass starvation in camps where mothers arrive unable to feed their children and today @theIPCinfo have warned the situation is only going to get worse with the rainy season.

"One people enriched, one people erased."

The Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, @FranceskAlbs, presented her report "From economy of occupation to economy of genocide" to the @UN Human Rights Council.

[Plan International @PlanGlobal]

We, alongside 160+ NGOs, are calling for urgent action to end Israel’s deadly distribution scheme in #Gaza. This is not humanitarian response, but a death trap. Restore UN-led coordination and #LiftTheBlockade on aid and commercial supplies immediately.
