[Circle @circle]

Circle has received final OCC approval to establish First National Digital Currency Bank, N.A., a national trust bank operating as Circle National Trust.

A major U.S. regulatory milestone that strengthens USDC infrastructure through federally regulated custody, with reserve management planned as a future capability.

“Federal oversight of our trust bank sets a new standard for transparency, governance, and scale for Circle’s infrastructure and unlocks a new phase of adoption, where leading financial institutions can build on public blockchains with clarity and confidence.” - @jerallaire

[Swift @swiftcommunity]

Implemented in 9 months. Global from day one.

Swift's blockchain-based ledger is ready for use, with ANZ, BNP Paribas, BNY, Citi, DBS Bank, First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), FirstRand, HSBC, Itaú Unibanco, Lloyds Banking Group, Mashreq, MUFG, OCBC, Standard Chartered, UBS, UOB and Wells Fargo preparing to pilot 24/7 tokenised cross-border payments.

This is a significant step towards scaling tokenised finance powered by the standards, security and global reach the industry relies on. By combining distributed ledger technology with Swift’s secure messaging network, the ledger:

-Enhances liquidity efficiency
-Improves cash flow visibility
-Enables seamless token recognition

What’s next? This is the first use case. The ledger creates a foundation for future innovation in areas like programmable money and agentic commerce, and we're continuing to explore more use cases with our community - helping to take tokenised money closer to scalable, real-world adoption.

Everyone has an opinion on why the stock market does what it does.

Earnings. The economy. Who's in the White House. The Fed chair's mood that morning.

Almost all of it is noise.

This chart is 15 years of the Nasdaq 100 plotted against total global liquidity. The correlation is 97%.

When I first saw this I was stunned. A fit this tight meant something much deeper was going on underneath. So I started pulling the thread.

That thread became the Everything Code, the framework I've been building in GMI since 2023. It’s the single most important thing I can teach anyone about how the modern economy actually works.
