Two new Metal DAO governance proposals are live to evaluate MGUSD, FIDD, and SOFID as potential future additions to the Metal Dollar basket.
This is the direction Metal Dollar was built for. The stablecoin market is no longer only about crypto-native issuers. @MoneyGram, @Fidelity, @SoFi, and other major financial institutions are moving toward onchain dollars, each with their own distribution, customers, and use cases.
That creates a huge opportunity, but also a real liquidity problem.
If every new issuer launches its own isolated digital dollar, the market becomes fragmented. Liquidity gets split across dozens of assets, chains, venues, and ecosystems.
Metal Dollar can be different.
$XMD is designed to be a shared basket for regulated digital dollars. As more high-quality stablecoins come to market, Metal Dollar can help connect them into a single liquidity layer for payments, DeFi, settlement, and real-world financial use cases.
There is nothing else quite like this.
These proposals do not mean MGUSD, FIDD, or SOFID are automatically approved or integrated. They are governance signals to begin evaluation, review technical and compliance requirements, and decide whether these assets are a fit for the XMD basket.
Metal Dollar is not affiliated with MoneyGram, Fidelity, or SoFi.
MTL holders have a direct role in shaping what the Metal Dollar basket becomes. If you want XMD to grow into one of the most important stablecoin liquidity layers in crypto, voting matters.

NEW: Five U.S. regulators have jointly proposed customer identification requirements for payment stablecoin issuers, modeled on existing bank rules as part of the GENIUS Act's AML framework.
BREAKING: Pakistan's Prime Minister announces that the US and Iran have officially reached a peace deal and the official signing will take place on June 19th in Switzerland.
"Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon," he says.
As a result of a US government directive, we are suspending access to Claude Fable 5 for all users. You can continue to use all other Claude models.
Here’s what this means for you:
Across Claude products, new sessions will run on your selected default model or Opus 4.8, and existing Fable 5 sessions will end with an error.
On the Claude Platform, requests to Fable 5 will also return an error. Please update your integrations to other Claude models.
We know this is a disruption to your workflows; we appreciate your patience and support.

Stablecoins, payments, settlement, tokenized assets, and AI agents need compliant infrastructure.
I spent this week deep in Metallicus research. Fourth FedNow certification, Request for Payment live, the CrossState pilot with 50 credit unions.
Then a friend in the ecosystem made it less theoretical: @echodatruth put up a governance proposal on @LOAN_Protocol to add $DAG to the lending market. He pinged me after posting it, and I'm fully behind it. Context for both communities below.
$LOAN is the DeFi lending protocol on @XPRNetwork that powers Metal X Lending. Zero gas fees, instant settlement, supply assets to earn yield or borrow against collateral, compliance-first like everything in the Metallicus stack.
The vote is live: add $DAG to the lending market with rewards. It's at 90% in favor across 245 votes. The number that actually needs attention is quorum, sitting at 6.68% of the required 25%.
Strong consensus, thin turnout. If you hold LOAN or SLOAN, your vote is the whole game this week.
What XPR holders get: @Conste11ation carries the deepest federal résumé in crypto, years of US government work and the kind of regulatory scrutiny most chains never survive, now positioned as the data integrity layer inside AIAI Holdings.
What DAG holders get: a compliant on-ramp to real financial rails, because @MetallicusTDBN is wiring credit unions and community banks into FedNow instant payments right now, and DAG liquidity earning yield in that ecosystem is a bridge no one else is offering.
The DAG side shows up with momentum too. Gate AI published a prompt-injection benchmark that beats Lakera, the category leader, at matched false-positive rates, and shipped a free Apache-2.0 audit plugin for OpenClaw agents the same week.
I've never understood the my-chain-or-nothing reflex in crypto. Every other industry wins by interoperating.
Two ecosystems with real regulatory roots choosing to work together is the thing this space keeps saying it wants.
Here it is, with a live vote attached.

Today, we’re excited to introduce Miso One, the most emotive voice model in the world.
Miso One is an 8-billion-parameter text-to-speech model for highly expressive speech generation. It emotes like a human and responds faster than a human, with just 110 milliseconds of latency.
We’ve open-sourced the model weights, with API access coming soon.
Hear how Miso One sounds in the thread below.
JUST IN: The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act has been placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar.
The bill is now eligible for full Senate consideration, another major step toward a clearer regulatory framework for digital assets in the U.S.
Crypto clarity is moving forward.
It’s likely because there was a massive Instagram / Meta exploit over the weekend that was just patched.
Basically the Meta AI support is garbage and has lots of access perms which allowed you to reset passwords to any user without 2FA and did not verify who you are.
Telegram channels on Instagram offering IG black market services made lots of $$$
The new Metal Blockchain Explorer design is live.
A cleaner interface, improved navigation, and a clearer way to explore the network across chains, validators, subnets, blocks, and transactions.
This is just the beginning.
