Why Cardano is the only Ecosystem that can run the world https://t.co/tJd2sAvqjy

Someone just bridged 6.6 BTC to Cardano in a single transaction 💪😏

And they say Cardano DeFi is dead!

Charles Hoskinson: "No I'm not leaving"

[Leonardo Cordero @wiSource]

Institutions are actively taking the crypto industry by funding groups like Coin Bureau. If we keep this type of behavior going we will have handed the entire industry to the Institutional investment community. I long for the days where we were all genuinely excited about innovation and true innovators like Charles!

CARDANO ONE OF CRYPTO'S MOST DEVELOPED NETWORKS

According to data from @chainspect_app, crypto OG @IOHK_Charles's @Cardano_CF still boasts impressive development activity, several years after launch.

Chainspect says that with ~3,600 developers and ~278,000 commits, $ADA "ranks among the leaders in Web3".

Are you still bullish on @cardano?

GOOGLE VALIDATES CARDANO AS SECOND-MOST QUANTUM-READY BLOCKCHAIN

[FluidTokens @FluidTokens]

We just performed the first Atomic Swap between Cardano and Bitcoin in Mainnet.

This means native BTC was traded for native ADA.

0.0001 $BTC swapped for 50 $ADA

Bitcoin is on Cardano 🧡 ↔ 💙

🚨 CRYPTO: UK BANK TO TOKENIZE £250M IN RETAIL DEPOSITS ON CARDANO'S MIDNIGHT BLOCKCHAIN

Monument Bank, a Bank of England-regulated institution, will become the first UK-regulated bank to tokenize retail customer deposits on a public blockchain, using Cardano's privacy-focused Midnight network.

Deposits will remain interest-bearing, fully backed in GBP, redeemable on demand, and protected under the UK's Financial Services Compensation Scheme. Midnight's zero-knowledge proof infrastructure keeps transaction data visible only to the bank and its customers.

Cardano founder @IOHK_Charles called it "one of the largest deals we've ever done," projecting it could bring hundreds of millions to billions in TVL to the Midnight ecosystem. Monument's affiliate also plans to offer the same tokenized deposit infrastructure to other banks via its Banking-as-a-Service platform.

🚨 TECH: GOOGLE SETS 2029 DEADLINE TO QUANTUM-PROOF ALL ENCRYPTION

@Google has accelerated its post-quantum cryptography migration timeline, targeting 2029 to secure all systems against future quantum computer threats. The company cited advances in quantum hardware, error correction, and "store now, decrypt later" attacks already underway as reasons to move faster.

The deadline is one of the most specific timelines set by a major tech company. Google is already rolling out quantum-resistant algorithms across Android, Chrome, and cloud services, with NIST-endorsed standards at the core.

The implications extend to crypto. Bitcoin and most blockchains rely on the same public-key cryptography Google is racing to replace. If a cryptographically relevant quantum computer arrives by 2029, any blockchain that hasn't migrated to post-quantum standards faces serious risk.

Midnight 🤝 Monument Bank

Monument is set to become the first UK-regulated bank to tokenize retail customer deposits on a public blockchain — representing interest-bearing savings as digital tokens while remaining fully backed, redeemable in GBP, and protected under existing regulatory frameworks.

Built on Midnight’s privacy-enhancing blockchain infrastructure, this approach ensures that transaction data remains shielded and accessible only to authorized participants — enabling the use of blockchain technology while maintaining the confidentiality and compliance required in regulated financial services.

The initiative begins with a target of £250 million in tokenized deposits and represents the first phase in a broader rollout to expand access to tokenized financial products. Over time, this includes enabling exposure to asset classes such as private equity and structured products, and introducing more flexible lending models — capabilities historically reserved for institutional and private banking clients.

Together, this partnership demonstrates how regulated financial institutions can bring traditional financial products on-chain — unlocking a more flexible, accessible, and programmable financial system without compromising privacy or regulatory standards.

Bitcoin and Cardano are now united by Charms. 🟠🤝🔵

We sent eBTC and BRO to Cardano.
We sent ADA, SNEK, and USDM to Bitcoin.
We unlocked cross-compatible Rust+WASM dapps for both chains.

I agree with the President. The banks amended the bill 137 times. They have to stop messing with it and trying to shut down the industry

🚨BREAKING: Claude Code was prompted to create a better Bitcoin but it ended up copying the Cardano protocol instead.

[✨₳DA ₿eacon⚡️ @AdaBeacon]

$ADA will have it's Ethereum moment.
Cardano will do the work that Bitcoin and Eth never could. Privacy and regulatory compliance will enable global adoption.
And here you are, squabbling at $0.26 that it's all over.

One of the next major outcomes of the Critical Cardano Integrations workstream is now in place!

The Steering Committee representing @IOGroup @Cardano_CF @emurgo_io @midnightfdn and Intersect has approved a major interoperability integration for Cardano: bringing @LayerZero_Core to the ecosystem.

LayerZero is one of the most widely adopted omnichain messaging protocols in Web3, connecting 150+ blockchains and enabling access to 400+ tokens and $80B+ in omnichain assets.

This integration unlocks the largest cross-chain connectivity expansion in Cardano’s history, opening pathways to stablecoin liquidity, Bitcoin-backed assets, tokenized real-world assets, and shared DeFi infrastructure across the broader crypto ecosystem.

As the ecosystem continues to invest in long-term infrastructure and utility, this marks another step in positioning Cardano for sustained growth and broader global relevance.

This is one of the flagship integrations progressing under the Critical Integrations framework, with Intersect acting as administrator. Delivery work now moves into deployment, with further milestones and timelines to be shared as progress continues.
