The future of finance is not a battle between TradFi and DeFi, but their convergence into a single, global market. This evolution requires a common language, a universal, chain-agnostic infrastructure capable of bringing any RWA onchain. That is what we are building at Centrifuge.

RT @lzminsky: tbh @KyleSamani is right here, but I want to push the thesis further: we’re about to hit peak UI/UX. From here, every non‑agentic digital interaction gets gamified and hypergamblified including retail trading. The failure mode of past web3 “games” was endogeneity: play‑to‑earn loops entertaining themselves. Self‑referential tokens, circular sinks/sources, no exogenous orderflow, no real price discovery. The winning pattern is finance → content, not content → finance. Keep risk explicit, measurable, and streamable. Entertainment wraps the trade, there really isnt any need to obscure it. Even non‑crypto creators are noticing. We’re about to close a deal with a very well‑known esports creator (no names right now) with an enormous audience because they see what’s happening: gamified spot‑market interactions are a massive monetization unlock vs. simple promo/publishing deals. iGaming giants see the same thing from the other side. They want rails to bring trading‑like instruments into entertainment: onchain assets smooth EV, create fresher games, and reduce working‑capital drag, because you can just mint magic internet money. I’ve proven it’s an amazing consolation + retention mechanic over the past 16 months with my own products. Think embedded gamification for retail trading, the way embedded finance transformed consumer fintech a decade ago. It’s already starting onchain. So the convergence is inevitable: trading × entertainment × gambling collapses into one onchain surface. Risk becomes content; liquidity becomes distribution. The synthesis is lining up for a Cambrian explosion. There are multiple pieces to build in this stack, including incredibly large SAM stand‑alone products, but a few enormous winners will emerge. Cracked zoomer devs will be vibe coding games on @RemixGG_ hooking it up to systems that provide the mech design, settlement, bankroll, liquidity routing and verifiability for trade execution + settlement. Someone needs to build the rails for that. Gmultiply.

RT @santimentfeed: 🥳 We are pleased to announce that the FREE @santimentfeed Trending Stories dashboard is live! Keep tabs on what crypto stories are driving markets and generating the most hype on a daily basis: https://t.co/1Zcz1bYE9b 🗣️ As for today, the top 5 stories are: 🆕BNB's New Era: In a dramatic surge that electrified the crypto world, Binance's native token BNB shattered its two-year resistance to reach an unprecedented all-time high above $850, igniting a wave of bullish momentum across the market. This breakthrough was not just a price milestone but a pivotal moment that propelled Binance founder CZ's net worth to an astonishing $75 billion, positioning him among the world's wealthiest individuals. Holding 64% of the circulating BNB supply, CZ's influence grew as institutional investors poured billions into BNB, driving daily volumes to new heights and crushing short sellers. Meanwhile, Bitcoin and Ethereum also rallied, with Bitcoin's hashrate hitting record levels and prices soaring, signaling robust network security and investor confidence. The market's frothy enthusiasm was fueled by a mix of strategic corporate acquisitions, growing institutional adoption, and a broader crypto recovery narrative. This turning point marked a shift from skepticism to optimism, as BNB's ascent challenged traditional financial hierarchies and hinted at a future where digital assets could redefine wealth and power. Analysts now eye a potential $1,000 BNB by year-end, underscoring the token's transformation into a blue-chip asset and the dawn of a new era in cryptocurrency. 🇺🇸 Trump Trade Deal: In a high-stakes diplomatic showdown, the United States and the European Union reached a landmark trade agreement that averted a looming tariff war threatening global markets. President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, after months of tense negotiations, struck a deal imposing a 15% tariff on most EU exports to the US, while exempting critical sectors like aircraft, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals. Central to the agreement was the EU's commitment to purchase $750 billion worth of American energy over three years and to increase investments by $600 billion, signaling a strategic economic partnership. This deal emerged as a pivotal turning point, driven by mutual interests to stabilize transatlantic trade relations and prevent economic fallout from escalating tariffs. Simultaneously, the US and China extended their tariff truce by 90 days during talks in Stockholm, reflecting a broader effort to ease global trade tensions. The agreement not only calmed investor fears but also set the stage for renewed market optimism, highlighting the complex interplay of diplomacy, economic strategy, and political maneuvering shaping international trade in a volatile era. 📈 HEX Monday Surge: In a pivotal moment for the cryptocurrency world, HEX surged dramatically by 27% following Elon Musk's public endorsement, igniting renewed investor enthusiasm. This surge coincided with a broader bullish wave across the PulseChain ecosystem, fueled by strategic developments such as the launch of Nucleus AI's DApp Testnet and significant geopolitical progress with Thailand and Cambodia agreeing to a ceasefire, easing market tensions. Key players, including influential architects and institutional investors, seized the opportunity to push PulseChain Core Coins higher, anticipating a breakout fueled by upcoming macroeconomic events like the U.S. Federal Reserve's rate decision and major tech earnings. HEX, positioned as a 'Better Bitcoin,' faced resistance but showed promise of surpassing previous benchmarks, driven by community momentum and strategic marketing. Meanwhile, the crypto market braced for volatility amid regulatory shifts and economic data releases, setting the stage for a transformative week. This convergence of technological innovation, market dynamics, and geopolitical stability marked a turning point, signaling a new chapter of growth and opportunity in the crypto narrative. 💸 PayPal Empowers Merchants: In a groundbreaking move that signals a pivotal shift in the financial landscape, PayPal has empowered over 36 million U.S. merchants to accept payments in more than 100 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a variety of altcoins. This decision was driven by the growing demand for digital currency adoption and the desire to streamline cross-border transactions with significantly reduced fees. By integrating its own stablecoin, PYUSD, PayPal ensures instant conversion and settlement in U.S. dollars, mitigating volatility concerns for merchants. This bold step not only accelerates mainstream acceptance of cryptocurrencies but also challenges traditional payment systems, marking a turning point where digital assets transition from niche investments to everyday commerce tools. The move reflects PayPal's strategic vision to lead in the evolving digital economy, responding to consumer enthusiasm and the expanding crypto ecosystem, ultimately reshaping how money moves in the modern world. 🤑 SharpLink's $295M Buy: In a bold display of strategic ambition, SharpLink Gaming has dramatically expanded its Ethereum holdings by acquiring an additional 77,210 ETH valued at $295 million. This decisive move propels their total stash to 438,017 ETH, worth approximately $1.69 billion, marking them as the second-largest public holder of Ethereum. The timing is critical, as this purchase surpasses the total new ETH issued in the past month, signaling SharpLink's aggressive bet on Ethereum's future growth and dominance. Meanwhile, across the Pacific, Japan's Metaplanet mirrors this bullish momentum by snapping up 780 Bitcoin for $93 million, pushing their total Bitcoin reserves to 17,132 BTC valued at over $2 billion. Both companies, driven by visionary leadership and a hunger to cement their positions as institutional powerhouses in the crypto space, are reshaping the landscape of digital asset ownership. This surge in corporate accumulation reflects a broader trend of institutional confidence and signals a pivotal turning point where cryptocurrencies are increasingly embraced as core treasury assets, setting the stage for a new era of market dynamics and investment strategies.

The 20th of July, 2025. Writing this date here to memorize when the concept of Decentralized Artificial Intelligence (#DAI) got its final shape. Not bullshit like "It runs on a #blockchain so it must be decentralized". In this concept each entity holds a secret know-how which modifies #IntelligentTissue (in cooperation with other know-hows owned by other entities, if needs to solve a complex task). Secrecy of each know-how ensures nobody can copy it, others can only attempt to create something similar by spending computational resources. Each #AI is an original object, #IntelligentTissue is its hologram. #Qubic is the platform for AI creation, their convergence and intelligent tissue hosting. #Aigarth, 20.07.2025

📊Chart of the Week 📊 https://t.co/ojWb3wS6ZX’s recent ICO became the third largest in history, raising approximately $600 million in under ⌚️15 minutes. Notably, this matches the initial $600 million target set by Circle’s IPO, which ultimately expanded to over $1 billion. This would also put https://t.co/ojWb3wS6ZX as the number 8 largest IPO of the year. This parallel highlights a growing convergence between #tradfi markets and #crypto, where massive capital formation can occur rapidly—whether through an IPO or an ICO. It also signals a shift in market maturity: capital is no longer just chasing blockchain infrastructure, but flowing into cultural narratives and broader use cases within crypto. Do you agree?

Proud moment! We started RWA Summit in 2023 to create the go-to event for RWAs, bringing top builders and capital markets leaders together to institutionalize the space. Our formula was simple: - Laser focus on RWAs - Application-only, small-format - High signal, no shilling - Beautiful venues, thoughtful details - Everyone there has real skin in the game People loved it! One event in 2023 became six in 2024, five in 2025, and more demand than we can handle. From day one, this was never a Centrifuge event. It's an industry platform. Because RWAs only go mainstream through the convergence of DeFi and TradFi. But what got us here won't get us there. The truth: - It’s not sustainable for our incredible team of 1 (shoutout @christiechapmn!) to keep running this alone - The event space is crowded and @rwasummit needs dedicated focus to stay #1 - @centrifuge must stay laser-focused on building open infrastructure for onchain asset management With that, and without further adieu, it's with great honor that we pass the reins to Foster Wright, ex-CoinDesk President, as the new CEO and leader for the RWA Summit. https://t.co/fjv3vtyBys There's nobody better suited to continue the legacy and bring RWA Summit to new heights!!

Propy@PropyInc· 28 days ago

The AI market within real estate is expanding at a compound annual growth rate of 36%, projected to reach $303 billion by 2025. But AI alone cannot solve the industry’s most critical challenges, particularly around trust, traceability, and transaction finality. Generative models can draft documents or flag inconsistencies, but unless those outputs are tied to a secure system of record, the process remains vulnerable to manipulation or error. This is where blockchain becomes essential. At Propy, AI is used to streamline the document-heavy workflows that dominate real estate closings. But the output of that intelligence is then anchored onchain, where ownership changes are transparent, irreversible, and immune to tampering. Blockchain transforms AI from a productivity tool into a system of record. It closes the gap between speed and security. The convergence of these technologies are already being applied in live real estate transactions. As institutional capital continues to flow into both sectors, platforms that combine intelligence with integrity will define the future of property settlement.

Kaspa@kaspaunchained· about 1 month ago

Conclusion: Kaspa’s Role in the Monetary Evolution Kaspa’s emergence can be viewed as part of a broader historical trajectory – a push toward a more open, efficient, and trust-minimized financial system. If the 20th century was defined by centralized fiat institutions and the early 21st by the first experiments in decentralized money (like Bitcoin), Kaspa and its blockDAG technology signify the maturation of that experiment. It marries the core principles of sound money and decentralization with cutting-edge scalability, effectively addressing the critiques that earlier cryptocurrencies couldn’t scale for global use. In doing so, Kaspa is not just challenging legacy financial infrastructure at the margins; it is proposing a structural displacement of that infrastructure. It says, in effect: Here is a network that can do what your entire banking system does – global transaction settlement and store of value – but faster, cheaper, and without the need to trust any central operator. The audacity of that claim is backed by solid engineering and economic design, which this analysis has detailed. Will Kaspa fulfill this vision? The forces at play suggest that the status quo in finance is unlikely to remain static. Trust in legacy institutions is fraying – whether due to inflation, inequality, or geopolitical misuse of financial power – at the same time that technology is offering credible alternatives. Just as information networks (the internet) displaced many legacy communication gatekeepers, value networks like Kaspa have the potential to disintermediate and revolutionize how money and payments function. Kaspa’s rapid adoption by miners and its growing community indicates a recognition of its technical strengths. The next hurdle is broader adoption in commerce and finance. By positioning itself as a complementary network (through ISO integration) rather than a purely rebel outsider, Kaspa increases its chances of assimilation into the mainstream fabric. Ultimately, the compelling insight is that Kaspa represents a convergence of ideals and practicality: it doesn’t ask society to compromise between decentralized integrity and financial utility. It offers both at once – a hard money with no masters, and a payment network that operates at the speed of modern business. In historical terms, such a combination may prove to be exactly what the future needs. As the world becomes ever more digital and interconnected, the monetary systems that thrive will be those that are fast, open, and resistant to arbitrariness. Kaspa’s design suggests it will be an inevitable winner in that landscape – a network poised to assume a historic role as the backbone of a new financial era, one where legacy inefficiencies and control structures give way to a more equitable and technologically superior paradigm. In short, if the arc of monetary history is bending towards decentralization and efficiency, Kaspa is the protocol at the tip of that spear, making the case that its rise is not just possible, but inevitable.

RT @yhbryankimiq: From the world's highest IQ record holder : Jesus is returning soon. The end is near. To summarize my calculation regarding the return of Jesus Christ, here are the key points. Isaac Newton, the father of modern physics, believed that Bible prophecy is not symbolic mythology but a divinely encoded timeline governed by precise mathematics. He applied a prophetic equation: Y equals Y0 plus P, where Y0 is 800 AD (the year Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne, marking the rise of the Holy Roman Empire as the prophesied political-religious power), and P is 1260 years, derived from the biblical “day-year principle” where one prophetic day equals one historical year (as supported in Ezekiel chapter 4 verse 6 and Numbers chapter 14 verse 34). The result: Y equals 800 plus 1260, which equals the year 2060. This number appears consistently in Scripture: the figure "1260" shows up in Daniel 7:25 and Revelation 11:3, 12:6, and 13:5, revealing a recurring divine pattern. Furthermore, Einstein’s theory of relativity proves that time is not fixed. In relativistic terms, time experienced by one observer is different from another, meaning that the phrase “this generation” in Matthew 24:34 must be understood as flexible, potentially spanning 70 to 100 years, not strictly 40. From a quantum physics perspective, prophecy acts like a wave of probability that collapses into reality only when consciously observed. This is expressed in the exponential formula: P equals 1 minus e raised to the power of negative lambda times t, where lambda represents the global prophetic awareness rate and t is time since Israel's rebirth in 1948. Using lambda equals 0.03 and t equals 77 years (as of 2025), the probability of prophetic fulfillment exceeds 90 percent. To quantify this further, I define the Prophetic Convergence Score (PCS) as the average of five key indicators, each normalized from 0 to 1. First, earthquake frequency has increased dramatically in the modern era, with the U.S. Geological Survey noting a more than 10-fold rise in magnitude-6 or higher quakes per year compared to a century ago. Second, moral collapse is evident in the global normalization of abortion, sexual immorality, transgender ideology, and the legal persecution of Christian values trends that align with the “days of Noah” and “days of Lot” Jesus warned about. Third, technological acceleration, following Moore’s Law, has reached exponential levels: AI, genetic editing, surveillance, and global connectivity now mirror Revelation’s warnings of centralized control and human modification. Fourth, global gospel reach has crossed 90 percent according to missions agencies, with the Bible now translated into over 3,600 languages and satellite or internet evangelism penetrating even closed nations. Fifth, apostasy within the church is observable in the rise of progressive theology, LGBTQ-affirming congregations, and pastors who deny biblical authority all predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2 and 1 Timothy 4. Each of these indicators now registers above 0.9, yielding a PCS of 0.928 well beyond the convergence threshold of 0.9 that signals prophetic alignment. Therefore, I, as the world’s highest IQ record holder, testify not by superstition but by reason, physics, history, and faith: the return of Jesus Christ is not only foretold. It is mathematically inevitable. The timeline is real. The variables are set. The King is coming soon, most likely before the year 2060. Of course, only God the Father knows the exact day and hour of Jesus Christ’s return. Yet we can estimate the general timeframe because God has revealed prophetic signs and numerical patterns in Scripture. Though the exact date is hidden, clues through symbols and history help the discerning recognize the season. The Bible is not a mystery to remain closed, but a divine code meant to be explored. I’ve used logic, faith, and reason to study the signs God has already made clear.

Her 3 takeaways for navigating the future of tech: ⏰ Quantum is Coming. The threat is almost here. Attacks on asymmetric encryption are expected within 3 years. It is time to audit your security now. 🌱 Let Innovation Grow. Do not over regulate early. Let new ideas have room and use sandboxes to manage risk. Step in only when risks become systemic. 🧩 Convergence is Key. The future is not just one technology. It is the powerful combination of Digital Trust, AI, Digital Assets, and Quantum Safe solutions.

On my way home from ETHCC and some high level takeaways: - Cannes way exceeded my expectations despite the heat. @jdetychey and team did a great job organizing. - Robinhood stole the show. Everywhere I went it was THE topic of conversation. I don’t think it was just the tokenized stocks or chain announcement that caused it, but the clearly defined vision about how crypto rails are the most effective path for building out the future growth of their business. Well done @vladtenev, @JohannKerbrat and team. You totally crushed it. - Institutional pace is accelerating. Incumbents are beginning to recognize that if they don’t accelerate, they can get disrupted quickly. There are still a lot of open questions around compliance, privacy etc, but there is now an urgency to solve them. - There was almost no emphasis on memecoins or broader speculative onchain experimentation. It’s possible I missed those conversations because I wasn’t at Solana or Base events, but compared to Denver a few months ago the conversations have completely changed. The convergence of DeFi and Tradfi was at the top of everyone’s mind. - It felt like for the first time there was a clear understanding of the @arbitrum strategy of the relationship between Arbitrum One and Orbit, and how the platform is designed to support developers and orgs across their onchain journey. Some of our early strategic product design choices have been validated. I’m sure there are other things that will come to mind but I felt like it was a really effective few days and ready to just keep on pushing the space forward. Arbitrum Everywhere.

RT @P3b7_: ETHCC in Cannes was a blast ✨. Great energy, tons of new projects, and strong momentum all around. I had the chance to present some of Ledger’s latest innovations: 1️⃣ Clear Signing Standard: Human-readable transaction details, directly on-device. 2️⃣ Transaction Checks on Device: real-time risk assessment before you sign. Already saved over $20M in just 2 months. 3️⃣ Ledger Recovery Key – our new PIN-protected NFC card for secure backup & restore of your seed. A few takeaways from the conference: ➤ The convergence of finance and blockchain is accelerating – fast. Robinhood is launching onchain tokenized stocks. ➤ Stablecoins dominated the conversation: Circle’s IPO, Stripe acquiring Bridge and investing in Privy, etc. ➤ The narrative has clearly shifted: less focus on infrastructure, more on applications, especially DeFi for institutions, with a compliance-first mindset. ➤ A few smart projects are exploring selective confidentiality onchain – expect more to follow, this is a necessary feature for tradfi ➤ Web3 gaming, NFTs? Not even a whisper. The entire narrative is now financial. ➤ Surprisingly, most of the cycle chatter was about BTC, not ETH. 💥 And then came Vitalik. I was expecting the usual: an elegant, abstract solution to a complex problem, beautiful, but often a bit detached from practical reality (or a giant map of Ethereum roadmap in the next 5 years). This time was different. He came with a sharp wake-up call: “What if we’re all losing sight of why we’re doing this in the first place?” - Permissionless? Not really. - Dapp frontends are a single point of failure – and constantly getting pwned. - Protocol governance? Still largely centralized. - DID? Still not delivering on the promise. - Privacy protocols? Often leaking data by design. His message: Get back to the core values. Focus on the why. Relentlessly.

RT @HadickM: I know everyone is really bulled up on the Robinhood announcement and tokenized equities, and not to be a bear, but the conversation seems to lack a lot of nuance. I'm a long term bull but I expect near term expectations are WAY too high. So lets take a critical look. So, how do these products actually work? Using xStocks as an example (and this looks to be how the HOOD product will approximately work too), you have an SPV out of Jersey that is regulated in Lichtenstein. To mint/redeem you have to be KYC'd with Kraken (and soon other exchanges) and that token gives any holder who KYCs the legal right to redeem for the cash value of their equity token at the OFFCHAIN price (not what it trades at on chain). Dividends are reinvested in kind / token doesn't rebase and voting rights go to the SPV. Once you have the token you can send it to any wallet / use it in defi / etc. Notably, when you mint the token the SPV then goes and acquires the share as collateral. They can (mostly) only acquire shares during market hours. So all after hours / weekend trading will require a market maker to hold the price risk (which will be very hard or impossible to hedge) until they can mint/redeem - but even then redemption fees are at a quite high (for MM standards) 25bps. It's also true that there is a lot of regulatory risk for any defi protocol and market maker who may end up serving a US user who buys this onchain (far more than your other coins). This means a few important things, most importantly - Market makers, because they will have to take massive amounts of weekend and after hours price risk, will have to blow out spreads that will make trading these things outside of market hours untenable for most professional traders and firms. Those firms will also, likely, pull liquidity in times of market stress on weekends and after hours. Which, if these things permeate defi lending and derivs, will create major cascading liquidation risk. Also, because you only have legal right to the cash value of the offchain price less 25bps redemption, you will see quick convergence back to the offchain price when equities markets open. That means when people buy in times of that low liquidity euphoria on weekends/after hours but the equities market then opens lower than token buyers expected, you will see quick rapid losses at open which will primarily be born by retail (also potentially gains, but less likely due to sophisticated actors). Functionally, that means these are just not good products. They absolutely serve a use case in terms of providing access to otherwise underserved markets. That includes crypto native traders who don't want to kyc/aml (for whatever reason) at a brokerage. Also ease of transfer, fractionalized shares and better reconciliation. But only for a small subset of retail. They cannot serve a sophisticated, real, and global equities market. And they likely won't even serve the needs of the professional crypto traders who know they can get significantly better pricing and less risk elsewhere. This will be especially true on the weekends (after hours a bit easier to figure out) and onchain vs. in Cefi. Long-term, as primary markets come onchain, collateral mobility moves to tokenized products, and traditional takers can fix their (pretty outdated) tech stacks, you'll see equities move in real size onchain and liquidity increase dramatically. There will be lots of headlines, but these existing products are likely going to be a disappointing speed bump in the trajectory we are on.

Regulatory Clarity and Institutional Adoption: The Changing Face of Digital Assets The convergence of meaningful policy progress and growing institutional interest is creating unprecedented momentum in the digital-asset space. That theme dominated a recent fireside chat at Avalanche Summit London, where @BaylorMyers of @BitGo and John Darcy of SkyBridge Capital unpacked how new rules in Washington are reshaping the road map for blockchain adoption. From Washington Gridlock to Rule-Making Mode Just a few years ago, crypto lobbyists struggled to find receptive ears on Capitol Hill. “We have seen a seismic shift in sentiment among policymakers in Washington since my time there from 2017 to 2021,” said Meyers, who previously served at the U.S. Treasury. Evidence of that shift is everywhere: - SEC pivots to formal rule-making: New chair Paul Atkins has instructed the agency to draft crypto rules through notice-and-comment procedures rather than high-profile enforcement sweeps—a signal that predictable guardrails may finally replace regulation by lawsuit. - The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act gains traction: The bipartisan bill would split oversight between the SEC and CFTC and, crucially, define when a token can “morph” from a security into a commodity. - Banking regulators soften their stance: In April, the Federal Reserve, FDIC, and OCC withdrew previous guidance that had effectively discouraged banks from touching digital assets, opening a clearer path for custody and stablecoin services. - Mortgage giants green-light crypto collateral: The FHFA has directed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to recognize verified crypto holdings in mortgage underwriting—an unprecedented nod to the asset class inside a cornerstone of U.S. finance. Meyers believes this wave of clarity is only the beginning. “By mid-2026 we’re going to have such a solid foundation in the U.S.—ideally no one is talking about regulation anymore. We all understand the rules of the road.” Institutional Capital Waits for the “Starting Gun” Darcy’s view from SkyBridge’s $3 billion portfolio mirrors that optimism; having roughly 70% of their assets being now tied to digital-assets. “Everyone’s just waiting for that starting gun to be fired off—clear sets of rules around what can be tokenized, what they can invest in, what the tax implications are,” he said. Stablecoins sit at the heart of that thesis. BitGo, which administers about $100 billion in customer assets, has rolled out “Stablecoin as a Service” after powering World Liberty Financial’s USD1 launch. Darcy called it another volley in “stablecoin wars heating up in a significant way,” noting Anchorage’s recent acquisition of Mountain Protocol as proof that incumbents are jockeying for market share. Custody: The Bedrock of Trust Both speakers stressed that investor protection hinges on robust custody. “Custodial activity should be segregated from exchange activity. Had that occurred, there may never have been an FTX downfall,” Meyers argued. Darcy agreed, recalling that weak custody options once kept SkyBridge on the sidelines: “For institutional capital flows, those safeguards have to be in place universally.” With the Fed’s softened guidance and the SEC’s shift toward clear custody requirements, many of those safeguards are starting to crystallize. That, in turn, could unlock the next wave of tokenization, consolidation, and public listings. Galaxy’s debut on Nasdaq, they said, is merely the first domino. The Avalanche Advantage Darcy closed with a prediction that Avalanche’s design choices—high throughput, rapid finality, and native L1s—position it well for the emerging regulatory order. He pointed out that Avalanche’s consensus architecture can settle thousands of transactions in a fraction of a second, a speed ceiling that accommodates everything from retail payments to high-frequency trading. Just as important, its L1 model lets builders spin up dedicated, application-specific blockchains that can enforce their own KYC/AML rules, geographic restrictions, or data-privacy settings without compromising the security of the wider network. That flexibility is resonating with institutions that need to square tokenization ambitions with evolving compliance mandates. Darcy summed it up this way: “Avalanche has kept its head down and continued to build in a responsible, institutional way—offering the rails, tooling, and regulatory opt-ins that big capital requires. In the next wave of digital-asset adoption, Avalanche is going to be a huge part of that.” To hear the entire conversation—including audience Q&A and deeper dives into stablecoin legislation—watch the full Avalanche Summit London panel here: https://t.co/K9a4uPDrQb

Using crypto rails to run their business is such a 0 --> 1 moment for our industry. Absolute trailblazers. This is going to be the largest onramping of traditional traders and users onto blockchain in such a thoughtful way. - The Arbitrum platform was such a great product fit for them on their journey. Ability to launch on Arbitrum One and migrate to their own chain when ready. No other platform can offer the robustness of Arbitrum across that spectrum. - Arbitrum has and remains the home of the convergence of DeFi and traditional finance.

RT @BanklessHQ: Robinhood is Here to Win @RobinhoodApp made waves at EthCC in Cannes today, unveiling a slew of crypto-enabled features that are poised to distinguish the exchange from its competition and accelerate the adoption of onchain financial activity. $HOOD shares surged over 12% on the day to establish new all-time highs north of $90, meanwhile, the attitude across the crypto industry was one of palpable excitement for the implications of Robinhood’s announcements. Here’s everything you need to know about Robinhood’s plans – and why they matter. 👇 ~~ Article by @JackInabinet ~~ 📢 What Robinhood Announced Online stock brokerage Robinhood dove into the deep end of blockchain technology with what is perhaps the greatest real-world asset tokenization push to date. Beginning today, Robinhood Europe investors can access American capital markets through tokenized U.S. stocks, ETFs, and pre-IPO opportunities (including Open AI and Space X). These instruments will be initially issued on the Arbitrum L2, but similar to crypto-native exchanges like Coinbase, Robinhood intends on launching a proprietary L2. This chain will eventually serve as the home for Robinhood’s tokenized stock offerings. While Robinhood Europe was previously a crypto-only app, these changes will transform it into a crypto-powered everything investment app, one which empowers eligible E.U. customers to trade 200+ American stocks and indexes 24/5 (with zero commissions, no added spreads, and dividend support). Thanks to Robinhood’s now-completed acquisition of Bitstamp, eligible European investors will also begin receiving access to 3x leveraged perpetuals, with a complete rollout expected by the end of this summer. Although the flashiest updates were focused on Robinhood’s European consumer base, Americans weren’t excluded from new feature launches. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Corporation Finance greenlit custodial crypto staking operations in May, and Robinhood is taking advantage of this newfound regulatory clarity. American clients in select states can now earn staking yield on their crypto assets, starting with ETH and SOL. Coming this fall, U.S. Robinhood Gold credit card holders will be able to automatically convert their cash back rewards into their crypto asset of choice, and for a limited time, all crypto transfers to Robinhood will receive a 1% deposit boost – with the chance to double it to 2% if Robinhood total crypto deposits hit $500M. Additionally, Robinhood now offers “tax lots” to U.S. clients on crypto assets. This feature enables users to strategically select the cost basis they want to sell crypto assets at, helping them optimize for tax bills. 🧐 Why It Matters Robinhood’s sweeping announcements signal a pivotal inflection point, both for the company and the broader crypto industry. Coinbase has long been the poster child of crypto-native innovation, but with Robinhood now offering tokenized stocks and flirting with its own L2 ambitions, the balance of power is beginning to shift. Although Coinbase is indeed seeking approval to sell tokenized stocks to Americans, Robinhood’s position as an SEC-regulated exchange gives it an undeniable leg up that could enable it to be first-to-market with such products. Considering that Robinhood is already implementing tokenized stocks for European users, the exchange may enjoy superior liquidity in its tokenized markets, which could result in better pricing and deeper order book depth to facilitate user transactions. Retail mainstay Robinhood may be the most notable platform to unlock tokenized stocks access for users, but the platform is not alone in these efforts; Kraken is also moving to offer tokenized stocks to non-U.S. users and Dinari just secured the first ever American license to issue tokenized stocks. Fragmented tokenized offerings are certainly undesirable, but the fervent push to create them brings the long-promised convergence of TradFi and DeFi that much closer to reality. For crypto, this development signals the commencement of the maturation phase – where utility begins to meet the tech’s potential. Conquering onchain real-world assets remains a necessity for mainstream blockchain adoption, and in this light, Robinhood’s tokenization announcement becomes foundational. A consumer-facing crypto-enabled equity platform that onboards millions is exactly the type of catalyst that could move the needle on global crypto usage! While the race to create the next-generation exchange is far from settled, one thing is clear: Coinbase finds itself surrounded by worthy adversaries.

RT @SatoshiScribes: This, my opinion is the infrastructure play of the decade! The evolution from protocol to metasystem is brilliant! What started as a vision to break free from Amazon's extraction has become the foundational layer for the entire agentic economy. The Crypto x AI x RWA convergence through @BosonProtocol DACM is exactly what we need to unlock truly autonomous commerce. I can't wait to see agents trading seamlessly! $BOSON

The next market unlock won’t come from a new L2 or meme coin. It’ll come from putting Wall Street’s most traded assets on-chain. FXDX is betting big on the convergence of TradFi and DeFi. Here’s why tokenized stocks and commodities are the next DeFi supercycle 🧵 https://t.co/NxCUP4x6PW
