-THE DTCC-SECCURENCY-RIPPLE-STELLER-
XRP AND XLM ALL WALK INTO A BAR TO DISCUSS
THE LIQUIDITY TOKEN/PATENT-
-TO SET THE STAGE-
For those unfamiliar with the @The_DTCC (Depository Trust Clearing Corporation)
They clear and settle roughly 2.4 Quadrillion dollars a year. Think the derivatives market("All The Money").
It doesn't get much bigger. For a refresher go to https://t.co/n9PcoJ006p
-WHO IS ISDA?-
International Swaps and Derivatives Association @ISDA : A trade organization comprising market participants for over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives. Its members include corporations, investment managers, and insurance companies, among others. (https://t.co/JF8PkVppNb
-RIPPLE JOINS ISDA-
@Ripple has joined the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA), a significant move
that positions the company alongside financial giants such as @BlackRock , @jpmorgan , @GoldmanSachs, and @BNYglobal .
As an Associate Member, Ripple is now part of a group of over 1,000 institutions from 79 countries, indicating its growing influence in the global financial market.
This membership allows Ripple to participate in shaping standards and influencing critical decisions within the derivatives market, which is valued at approximately $1.2 quadrillion. https://t.co/2XAyRUfTa1
Ripple's involvement in ISDA marks a strategic move into derivatives and the integration of its blockchain technology into traditional financial markets, often referred to as #TradFi . This move follows a favorable legal ruling regarding the sale of #XRP tokens, which has bolstered Ripple's operations and led to renewed engagement with U.S.-based partners and clients.
This membership is seen as a milestone for Ripple, reflecting the broader acceptance of digital assets in mainstream finance.
-ENTER THE INVENTOR STAGE LEFT-
Let's dig into George Daniel Doney's history, his work as the Inventor of the Liquidity token patent, and how he and it play into this @The_DTCC /@RIPPLE/@StellarOrg game of Tetris in present day.
Doney was the Co-founder and CTO of which specialized in blockchain based finance tech/digital asset infrastructure.
Upon the DTCC'S acquisition of Securrency and rebranding to DTCC DIGITAL ASSETS Doney became the Managing Director and CTO of the newly branded DTCC DIGITAL ASSETS.

In an interview with @ValidationCloud on April 29th, 2025 he states this:
https://t.co/otdFa8ZaF0
(Transcribed as close to verbatim as I could)
" The one right to win the DTCC has is we are the record keeper for quadrillions of dollars in transactions.. We have 100 trillion in assets under management. So unilaterally without the need to engage anyone else we can actually make it possible
to tokenize 100 trillion in assets. No one else can do that efficiently. We are building out those rails to make that possible so that parties, within seconds can convert in traditional holding into token form to conduct transactions.
...everyone's gunning for this new technology and method and there's not much time left. You'll get left behind if you're not able to keep pace..
We are past the 7th inning stretch...it's the 8th inning as we are rounding the corner..
it's VERY close to the finish."

-THE END(FOR NOW)-
NEW: @Ripple unveils a four-phase plan to make the XRP Ledger quantum-resistant by 2028, including an emergency "Q-Day readiness" phase that would force migration to quantum-safe accounts if the threat arrives sooner than expected.
The DTCC holds $87 trillion in financial assets. It published a patent in 2025 designating XRP as a Digital Liquidity Token.
It then added Ripple Prime to its operational directory. It subsequently announced tokenisation for the second half of 2026.
Institutions do not file patents, add participants, or announce tokenisation without having a clear understanding of the liquidity infrastructure.
This small Island with just 90,000 Population is the largest holder of U.S. Treasuries. Not Japan or China.
For decades everyone assumed Japan and China were holding up the US debt market. The Federal Reserve just admitted that is wrong.
The Cayman Islands officially shows up at $427 billion in US Treasury holdings, making it the sixth largest foreign holder on paper. Japan sits at $1.22 trillion. That is what the official data says.
The Fed's own researchers found the official data is wrong by $1.4 trillion. After adjusting for the undercount, the Cayman Islands is actually the largest foreign holder of US Treasuries, holding significantly more than China, Japan, and the UK combined.
But why ?
The Cayman Islands is the legal home to roughly three quarters of the world's offshore hedge funds.
When these funds buy Treasuries they count toward the Cayman Islands total, despite the fact that most funds are managed from elsewhere.
Between 2022 and 2024, Cayman Islands hedge funds purchased $1.2 trillion of Treasury securities, absorbing 37% of all net issuance.
Nearly the same amount as all other foreign investors combined.
Now here is the risk.
Unlike central banks or sovereign funds, hedge funds have no obligation to stay in times of stress. In April 2025, a sudden tariff announcement caused funds to unwind simultaneously, exacerbating selling pressure across the entire Treasury market.
The largest buyer propping up US debt is not Japan or China. It is a group of highly leveraged hedge funds domiciled in a Caribbean island with a GDP of $7 billion, financing positions overnight, with no obligation to stay if conditions change.
The Fed researchers ended their paper with one line: "Data users should be aware that this major gap exists."
Tokenization is reshaping regulated finance by moving assets onto programmable ledgers, delivering efficiency gains but requiring strong policy and trust anchors to protect stability. Read our new IMF Note on the issue: https://t.co/JnpWurNJos
With the recent Royal Assent of Bill C-15, Canada is moving forward on a framework for stablecoins. The Department of Finance has begun the development of regulations to support safe, reliable digital payment options for Canadians.
