🔥Another financial giant bagged on $HBAR
Apex Group ($3.5T in assets) joins the Hedera Council
Some of their partners include
• BlackRock
• Goldman Sachs
• Archax
• London Stock Exchange
Apex was the FIRST regulated transfer agent to bring regulated RWAs on-chain
And since then we've seen this trend rise rapidly with institutions globally coming on-chain now.
The fact a pioneer like them chose Hedera says a lot
And given that Apex already works with Archax...
The first UK FCA regulated tokenization firm, which has a lot of core focus on deploying via Hedera...
Should be exciting to see how else Apex gets further involved with the ecosystem
Quant X Canton in UK & Japan
Japan Govt Bonds coming to Canton
Quant SATP has Japanese govt bond on Canton w tokenized JPY on Hyperledger Besu
✅HSBC Orion (Canton) used in UK GBTD for digital bonds
✅Quant orchestrate GBTD making shared bank tokenized deposits possible
XDC’s ranked #72 on CoinMarketCap
Most still don't recognize what they've been building
Here's 10 things 99% of people don't know about $XDC
• Partner w DTCC acquired Seucurrency
• Tested in ADGM's 2018 RegLab
• Rapid Japan trade growth w SBI
• Only public DLT in ITFA
• Used in UK’s first legal digital trade
• Used as Zanzibar’s national DLT
• Selected by Brazil govt owned Serpro
• Only DLT w full AI Agent ID integration
• Institutions locking XDC to validate
• Listed in UN paperless trade database
And there’s much more to the story
From being 1 of 3 chains in Singapore’s national TradeTrust system
To SBI XDC now advancing to Japanese & Korean cross border markets
This isn’t to say XDC deserves being put above ALL the coins above them.
But it goes to show how this industry still doesn’t see real utility and value yet
And it makes sense
Much of cryptos still driven by speculative theories
But soon enough…
Evidence will speak for itself
@369ETHER7 I never stated they use XRP Ledger, I'm simply saying Ripple is involved in DTCC's tokenization initiatives, which they are thru the Tokenization Services WG as stated in the release
The recent DTCC Tokenization news shows you how stupid maximalism in crypto is
In fact... The hints were showing even before
Big players are selecting MULTIPLE DLTs
Just take a look below👇
DTCC
HSBC
SBI
BIS
IBM
JPM
All building towards a MULTI-CHAIN future
It simply makes sense
Institutions want to cater towards the needs and access rails of as many counterparties as possible
The way to do that isn't by mandating one chain
It's to allow for agnostic interoperability across all technologies and systems together.
In doing so it creates a far more harmonized system for mass utility than locking into a single ecosystem,
The future is a connected world, not a walled garden
🔥My interview with @SMQKEDQG is LIVE
A 1-hour long chat on the following key topics
• $QNT x The Clearing House
• $XRP Ledger Banking Utility
• Demand Drivers for QNT & XRP
• ISO20022 x AI Agent Payments (x402)
FULL DISCUSSION👇
https://t.co/o6ZAw8f4UV
We saw a bloodbath last week
-4.5% on BTC
-5.5% on Nadaq
-7% on Ethereum
-3.2% on SP500
-3% on Gold
As for $QNT?
Doing it's job nicely as $200 stablecoin.
We're holding the 0.62 OTE Fib perfectly inline with 0.5 of a large demand zone we created during TCH news
Still not a single close below that level on the daily
Buyers are defending the level while sellers are getting exhausted here
Should be interesting to see what happens from here
The past 90 days we've seen $QNT do the following:
• Selected by The Clearing House for OCMI
• Present w Murex & Campgemini at SIBOS
• UK GBTD test live transaction use cases
• Hire new Global Talent Lead & CISO
• Programmable Settlement report w Murex
• Deutsche Bundesbank cite Quant for Digital Euro
• GBTD & OCMI recognized by BIS Advisor
The dominos are beginning to fall into place

Oracle hinted at The Clearing House's tokenized deposits initiative 5 days before the $QNT partner
✅Oracle is also a key Quant partner
✅Oracle support TCH's Real-Time Payments rails
✅All TCH's bank founders are Oracle customers
Coincidence? I think NOT
🏦HSBC ALREADY USING $QNT FOR THE CLEARING HOUSE RAILS?!
TCH x Quant = Orchestrate On-Chain Money Initiative
HSBC's in TCH OCMI & UK GBTD
Now HSBC has their own DLT orchestration layer
The Quant white-label ties are showing here👀
More specifically, HSBC's DLT Settlement Utility (HDSU) platform enables orchestration for smart contract routing into TCH's Real Time Payments (RTP).
In other words... Legacy to DLT Interoperability
The exact same mechanism Overledger delivers on.
Now this leaves another interesting point to think on...
If HSBC already has their own orchestration layer tying DLT with legacy...
Why would they even partner with Quant for orchestration of OCMI?
Given HSBC is a member bank of TCH, it woulda made sense for them to just use HSBC's in-house solution.
And this is where things get interesting...
HSBC's Orion was used in UK GBTD, which Quant interoperated with the overall ecosystem across multiple shared banking participants.
So we already know HSBC x Overledger connection points are established in the infrastructure.
And now HSBC comes out with their own orchestration layer to connect smart contract payments to RTP.
That's essentially what Overledger has partnered with TCH to do in their tokenized deposit initiative.
And the cherry on top?
HSBC's HDSU utilizes REST APIs with an API layer for orchestration and bridging.
Exactly as Quant had standardized in SATP.
––––
Now put the pieces together.
HSBC participating in UK GBTD & US OCMI
HSBC Orion interoperability thru Quant in GBTD
HSBC now launching their own orchestration layer
Clearing House using Quant's orchestration instead of HSBC's HDSU...
All signs pointing towards a Quant white label👀
There's been multiple DLT frameworks by FinTech giants.
• BIS Unified Ledger
• Singapore Global L1
• IMF ASAP
• UK RLN
They all share one thing in common, can you spot it?
They ALL follow the same framework $QNT has been discussing for years.
MULTI LAYERED API ARCHITECTURE
In fact, they're all connected in their own rights.
The Singapore Global L1 directly takes inspiration from the IMF ASAP Model & references the API Gateway architecture used in Ubin x Cedar.
Ubin is Singapore's CBDC & Cedar is New York's.
The IMF ASAP Model itself takes inspiration from the rise of multi tiered CBDCs we've seen.
Projects like Rosalind, Sela, Aurum, etc come to mind.
On the other hand we've also seen both the Unified Ledger and the Regulated Liability Network (RLN) build for similar purposes.
To unify various counterparts of the financial industry into a single multi tiered ledger.
Things such as tokenized assets & deposits are the focal point with both of these.
Project Agora is the first official CBDC project from the BIS that will officially be built on the Unified Ledger.
This is also the biggest CBDC collaboration yet with a total of 7 central banks & currently a process of selecting additional private sector participants.
On the other hand, the UK RLN is arguably the biggest CBDC initiative we've seen out of the UK yet.
Yes, you could in fact argue this was bigger than Project Rosalind in itself given that it builds upon some initial points of Project Rosalind.
According to Citi's Tony McLaughlin, the UK RLN will be interoperating & working in synchronous with Agora!
This is massive as it shows 2 forms of "Unified DLTs" that will be interoperating with each other.
These CBDC architectures don't follow the traditional methods of just a L1 network,
Rather they incorporate multiple moving parts at once, all made possible from the communication of APIs across both legacy & DLT infrastructure.
The Age of API Based CBDC's upon us.
As we can see, the standardization of SATP is leading the way of central banks around the world.
Institutional Decentralization on $XDC Network
North America
• Bridge (Stripe)
• Republic
• Certik
• Cumberland
• Ubyx
• Clear St
• MoneyGram
Europe
• Deutsche Telekom
• SettleMint
• Taurus
Asia
• SBI
• NTT
• DSRV
• HashKey
• Animoca
• InvestaX
• HexTrust
• UOB
• BCW
These aren't firms just listed for "marketing"
All of them are providing validation services and running their own nodes in the XDC ecosystem
Altogether locking a total of 3.71 Bil XDC tokens
That's almost 10% of the total supply locked away by these institutions to validate the ecosystem!
Many of which aren't just validating... They're building solutions around RWA, payments, trade, AI etc on XDC.
