[Dominion @Dominion_Market]

Stocks went on-chain.
Bonds went on-chain.
Gold went on-chain.
Silver is next.

Physical silver, tokenized on Solana, backed 1:1 and held in secure vault custody.

Real silver. On-chain. Now.

The next decade of equities runs on programmable rails.

Ripple and Stellar = The Next Dominant Duopoly in Financial Services.🤝🌐

Here’s why.👇

[Yellow @Yellow]

Yellow has the power to bring the Internet of Value to agentic payments processes. And there's serious demand from institutions for these rails - it doesn't just come from tech companies. @AlexisYellow

[Edel Finance @edeldotfinance]

Before takeoff, there is a runway.

A phase where infrastructure is tested, capital begins to move, users start earning, and the market gains clarity on what is being built.

Over the coming weeks, Edel will begin expanding from a lending and borrowing market into institutional-grade infrastructure for tokenized equities and commodities.

A coordinated sequence of releases will introduce new rails, new financial primitives, new incentive and ownership mechanisms, new market infrastructure, and new ways for tokenized assets to earn, move, and be expressed onchain.

This is the Edel Runway.

The path from passive tokenized equity exposure to productive, programmable financial markets.

It has already begun.

CLARITY FOR 100 YEARS

Why would President Trump - author of The Art of the Deal - bring this exact constellation of executives to meet with Xi Jinping at one of the most compressed geopolitical moments in modern history?

Not just politicians.
Not just diplomats.

But the CEOs representing:

• global banking
• global payments
• semiconductors
• AI infrastructure
• aerospace
• food supply
• tokenization
• communications networks
• custody
• biotech
• manufacturing
• capital markets

Because perhaps the real negotiation is larger than trade.

Perhaps the old architecture itself is under negotiation.

The post-1944 world was built on:
centralized debt,
military enforcement,
petrodollar dependency,
SWIFT control,
and industrial-age financial rails.

But a digital civilization requires something different:

• real-time settlement
• neutral interoperability
• decentralized verification
• tokenized value transfer
• sovereign cooperation without surrendering sovereignty
• transparent ledgers instead of opaque intermediaries
• economic incentives aligned toward stability instead of perpetual conflict

What if the real “deal” is not about China defeating America or America defeating China…

…but preventing mutually assured financial destruction during the largest technological transition in human history?

Because AI + quantum + tokenization + autonomous finance cannot scale on 1970s settlement rails.

And if value itself becomes instant, global, programmable, and interoperable…

then whoever helps architect the transition may shape the next 100 years.

Maybe this is why payments giants, asset managers, chip manufacturers, aerospace leaders, and tokenization infrastructure firms all suddenly matter in the same room.

Not because they represent separate industries.

But because they collectively represent the operating system of the emerging world economy.

A sovereignty-first system.
A multipolar system.
A digitally interconnected system.
Potentially even a peace-through-prosperity system.

Not a world without nations.
A world where nations can transact without financial hostage-taking.

Not centralization.
Interoperability.

Not conquest.
Coordination.

Not endless friction.
Atomic settlement.

And perhaps that is why the room matters more than the headlines.

Godspeed, Mr. President.

a16z Crypto, Haun and Founders Fund announced almost $10B fresh capital in new funds

Over the past week, three prominent VCs have unveiled new funds totalling more than $9.2B in committed capital.

• @a16zcrypto: $2.2B (Crypto Fund 5)
This is 16z's fifth dedicated crypto vehicle, bringing total committed crypto capital to $9.8B across all five funds. Fund 5 is 100% dedicated to crypto, targeting stablecoins, payments, prediction markets, perpetual futures, lending, and tokenized assets.

• @HaunVentures: $1B (Second Fund)
Fund is split evenly between $500M early-stage and $500M later-stage capital, to be deployed globally over the next 2–3 years. The strategy targets three pillars: crypto financial infrastructure, tokenization, and AI agents - what Katie Haun calls the "new economy."

• @foundersfund: $6B (Largest Fund in Firm's History)
Founders Fund's largest haul in its 20-year history and the fastest succession ever - raised less than a year after its prior $4.6B fund. $4.5B came from LPs (including sovereign wealth funds), with another $1.5B from Peter Thiel and senior staff themselves. The fund will deploy across ~12 mature companies over 2–3 years, focused on AI, defense tech, and fintech infrastructure.

[Mastercard @Mastercard]

Today, Mastercard, @OndoFinance, Kinexys by @JPMorgan, and @Ripple successfully completed a landmark transaction connecting a public blockchain with interbank settlement rails.

Together, we’re laying the groundwork for 24/7 global markets that never close.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Swiss authorities have confirmed a case of #hantavirus identified in a passenger from the MV Hondius cruise ship who presented to hospital in Zurich. The patient is currently receiving care at a hospital in Zurich, #Switzerland.

The patient had responded to an email from the ship’s operator informing the passengers of the health event.

In line with the International Health Regulations (IHR), @WHO is working with relevant countries to support international contact tracing, to ensure that those potentially exposed are monitored and that any further disease spread is limited.

The virus was confirmed as the Andes virus, a type of hantavirus found in South America, by the National Institute for Communicable Diseases, South Africa and the Geneva University Hospitals (HUG), Switzerland. The support of the Institut Pasteur de Dakar, Senegal and the Administración Nacional de Laboratorios e Institutos de Salud (ANLIS), Argentina has also been critical in responding to this event.

As of 6 May, there are 8 cases, 3 of whom are confirmed as hantavirus by laboratory testing.

WHO will continue to work with countries to ensure that the patients, contacts, passengers and crew have the information and support they need to stay safe and prevent spread.

#BREAKING: Health authorities in South Africa have identified the Andes strain of the hantavirus, which can be passed from person to person, in two passengers on board the MV Hondius.

AI is moving beyond the browser and into the real world. The bottleneck? Data.

Today we’re announcing a $15M seed round led by @a16zcrypto to build infra that collects, curates, and licenses high-quality data for physical AI.

Incubated by and built on @StoryProtocol.

[Poseidon @psdnai]

AI is moving into environments where "probably correct" isn’t acceptable. Healthcare, sovereign systems, regulated domains.

Now the requirement is traceability:

▸ Who generated the data
▸ What qualifications they had
▸ What permissions apply

Darurat, Google Hari Ini Merilis Progres Komputer Quantum Yang Ternyata Jauh Lebih Cepat Dari Proyeksi Mereka Sebelumnya, Mengancam Dunia Crypto

Saya akan mencoba breakdown isinya agar mudah dicerna & tanpa AI jadi saya jamin enak dibaca

Kontekstual :
1.) Google adalah salah satu lab kuantum komputer paling hebat sekarang
2.) CRQC adalah yang penting diamati untuk dunia kripto, yakni komputer kuantum yang memang relevan untuk “menjebol algoritma crypto”
3.) Yang beresiko dijebol adalah “ECDLP” atau yang berhubungan dengan wallet dan private key, sedangkan algiritma untuk hash aman
4.) Ancaman paling nyata adalah “Signature Forgery” jadi komputer kuantum bisa semacam “reverse engineer” public key kita, sehingga mendapatkan private key (yang seharusnya rahasia) dan membuat transaksi palsu. Semua ini harus dilakukan dalam kurun waktu < dari 10 menit (waktu block bitcoin)
5.) Bottleneck signature forgery adalah : jumlah logical qubits dan error correction pada komputer kuantum

Riset Terbaru Google Menunjukan :
1. Persyaratan logical qubits untuk menjebol crypto turun 10 kali lipat lebih rendah dibanding sebelumnya, hanya menjadi kisaran 1175-1425 logical qubits, artinya semakin realistis dicapai dalam waktu dekat
2. Akselerasi error correction meningkat cepat, sehingga Google memajukan agenda migrasi kuantum mereka menjadi 2029 (sebelumnya tahun 2035)
3. Mempool attack menjadi sangat mungkin karena estimasi google (berdasar sumber daya yang mereka miliki) kuantum komputer bisa menjebol private key dalam waktu 9 - 12 menit (dibawah 10 menit waktu block bitcoin)
4. Google dengan sengaja tidak ingin merilis circuit / blueprint dalam riset ini karena kata mereka “terlalu berbahaya”
5. Kedua bottleneck mulai “diserang” (yang tadi logical cubits dan error correction)

Migrasi kuantum akan menjadi topik panas tahun ini, saya memiliki konjektur liar bahwa Google akan menciptakan "pick and shovel" terkait hal ini, mungkin semacam migrasi sementara dan sebagainya

[Airdrop Finder @Airdropfinds]

🚨 Google bunyikan alarm quantum!

Google baru saja merilis kemajuan besar soal komputer quantum yang bisa memecah kriptografi crypto.
dengan beberapa Inti sebagai berikut:

Kriptografi lama sudah mati. Serangan mempool jadi nyata. Kita harus segera pindah ke sistem post-quantum.

Yang paling menyeramkan, dulu kita kira serangan quantum butuh berbulan-bulan, jadi transaksi aman.
Sekarang? Komputer quantum Google bisa crack private key hanya dalam waktu 9 menit.
Padahal waktu rata-rata 1 blok Bitcoin cuma 10 menit.
Serangan mempool langsung jadi ancaman nyata.

Google bilang:
Komputer quantum bisa bobol 1000 dompet Ethereum terbesar dalam kurang dari 9 hari.
Ini bukan dari startup atau orang FUD.
Ini dari GOOGLE.

Google juga bilang kemajuan quantum akan sangat cepat. Kita tidak akan dapat peringatan lagi. Ini sudah sinyalnya.

Estimasi baru dari Google:
Hanya butuh 1.200 – 1.450 logical qubits untuk memecah kriptografi.
Ini 10x lebih baik dari perkiraan sebelumnya.

Google bahkan tidak berani publish detail teknis circuit-nya karena dianggap terlalu berbahaya.
Ini pertama kalinya mereka lakukan hal ini.

Google memakai data Project Eleven untuk sebutin
Sekitar 6,7 juta Bitcoin sedang dalam bahaya.
Termasuk 1,7 juta BTC dari era Satoshi yang public key-nya sudah terpapar.
