Real 24/7 trading is live on Solana. Millions of... Solana users can now tap into real market liquidity anytime with Ondo tokenized stocks, even at size. While others have claimed 24/7 trading, this has only ever been for CEX or DEX transfers where limited liquidity leads to consistently high execution costs. Ondo does it differently. Ondo's 24/7 liquidity model supports actual minting & redemptions for tokenized stocks at the current market price around the clock: ✅ Weekends ✅ Public holidays ✅ Overnight sessions SPYon, QQQon, CRCLon, NVDAon, TSLAon, and GOOGLon are live now with more assets coming soon. Check the deep liquidity for yourself on Solana this weekend. This builds on Ondo's 24/5 minting/redemptions & 24/7 permissionless transfers for all Ondo tokenized stocks. Always-on markets for the world's most in-demand assets is no longer just a vision. The future is here and it's live on Solana.show more

What is Plume Network? Plume (Plume) is a blockchain... built specifically for bringing real-world assets onchain and making them usable in DeFi. Unlike blockchains that treat tokenization as just another application, Plume is building an entire financial ecosystem around real-world assets, or RWAs. Treasuries, private credit, commodities, funds, and other traditionally illiquid assets can be represented as blockchain-based assets and then used across decentralized financial applications. Plume calls this model RWAfi, or real-world asset finance. So what makes Plume different? (1) ) It is purpose-built for RWAs Plume launched its Genesis mainnet in June 2025 as a permissionless blockchain designed around RWA finance. In October 2025, Plume was approved by the SEC as a registered transfer agent, a regulatory step most general-purpose chains don't hold. The network is EVM-compatible, allowing developers to use familiar Ethereum tooling while accessing lower-cost execution. (2) It focuses on more than tokenization. Plume wants tokenized assets to actually do something once they reach the blockchain. Its ecosystem allows RWA-backed assets to be used for lending, borrowing, trading, staking and yield strategies. Its flagship Nest protocol, for example, lets users gain exposure to institutional-backed assets through yield-bearing RWA positions that can then become useful across DeFi. (3) Compliance is built into the infrastructure. Real-world assets come with regulations, investor restrictions and identity requirements that ordinary DeFi tokens usually do not face. Plume has therefore built compliance and screening capabilities directly into its network rather than treating them as an afterthought. Its blockchain includes protocol-level AML, ATF and sanctions screening infrastructure. (4) It is trying to make institutional assets composable. A tokenized Treasury or private credit position does not have to sit idle in a wallet. The goal is to make these assets usable across different financial applications, similar to how USDC, ETH and other crypto assets move through DeFi today. Plume's Portal already allows users to swap, lend, borrow, loop and earn against RWA-backed assets. (5) Plume is also building cross-chain infrastructure. Its SkyLink infrastructure is designed to distribute RWA yields across other blockchain networks. That means Plume does not necessarily need every investor to move onto Plume itself. Instead, the network can act as infrastructure for bringing institutional yield into other ecosystems. (6) The network has attracted major institutional names. Apollo Global Management, WisdomTree, Hamilton Lane and Securitize are among the institutions connected to Plume's ecosystem. Securitize, for example, announced plans to deploy assets through Plume's Nest protocol, linking institutional tokenization infrastructure with Plume's RWA holder base. So where does PLUME fit in? $PLUME is the network's native token. It can be used for gas, staking, governance, collateral and ecosystem access. Plume also says protocol fees can eventually support token buybacks, ecosystem incentives and further network growth. Plume is betting that the next major phase of crypto adoption will not only involve digital-native assets. It will involve putting traditional financial assets onchain and making them programmable. The challenge is turning that vision into deep liquidity, compliant infrastructure and genuine demand. If Plume can solve those problems, it could become an important piece of the infrastructure connecting traditional finance with DeFi.show more

Visa and Mastercard are moving deeper into stablecoin payments.... Banks are testing tokenized settlements. Fintech teams are building the next payment rails in real time. To some this feels like everyone else is already ahead. But the truth is the opposite. These signals show where global finance is heading. Multicurrency accounts, real time settlement, digital dollars as a default payment layer and seamless payments between crypto and fiat. Exactly the direction we have been building toward. In our recent update we highlighted that the 149 billion dollar neobank market is projected to grow to 5.5 trillion dollars by 2033. This transformation has only just begun and the strongest growth is still ahead. The Scallop App is in its final development phase and in closed beta testing with multicurrency fiat accounts, a full crypto wallet and instant crypto to fiat swap functions. Visa debit cards are on the way. We are not late. We are aligned with the market shift that is happening right now. What we are building is not a reaction. It is part of the foundation for the next era of digital banking. The timing is right. The ecosystem is forming. And Scallop is nearing the moment where it steps into the global finance arena.show more

A family home of 20 years that was built... without planning permission is now a pile of rubble. Reminder - In 2022 the Irish government changed the law despite massive public objections, allowing owners of non-residential buildings to sign lucrative contracts for housing 3rd world migrants. Warehouses, office blocks, convention centers, and even nursing homes across Ireland have since been converted into migrant accommodation. Billions in taxpayer money paid out for housing migrants in structures without the appropriate planning permission. Meanwhile, a family home has been demolished because the owners didn't have planning permission. This government policy of turning every structure in Ireland into migrant housing is set to continue until at least 2029. Recent media reports suggest Ireland could soon have "Asylum billionaires." An oligarch class who have built their wealth from a system that bypasses planning laws in order to stuff migrants into every corner of Ireland. Do you see the problem here?show more

Pineapple Financial announced a $100 Million Digital Asset Treasury... to Allocate into and Purchase $INJ from the open market. What does this mean and what will happen next? A quick FAQ for everyone: What is a Digital Asset Treasury (DAT)? A DAT is a corporate balance sheet strategy where a company deliberately buys and holds crypto assets as reserves. Instead of passively holding assets, the company sets policies for how assets will be accumulated, deployed, and managed. The strategy usually involves gradual acquisition, staking to earn native rewards, securing assets through custody solutions, exercising strategic asset management, and applying clear accounting policies. Popular examples of DATs include MicroStrategy $MSTR and BitMine $BMNR What is Pineapple Financial? Pineapple Financial (NYSE: $PAPL) is a publicly listed fintech company that began in mortgage technology and brokerage. It has since expanded into broader financial services and has recently positioned itself to integrate digital assets and blockchain rails into its operations. Why did Pineapple choose $INJ instead of $BTC or $ETH? There are many reasons that will become clearer over time. In short, Injective is built for financial applications like derivatives and lending, which ties directly to Pineapple’s mortgage business. It is also a leader in tokenization infrastructure, making it a natural fit for real estate assets that Pineapple ultimately wants to bring onchain. How does staking work here? Pineapple will delegate its INJ to validators on Injective. This means any investor in $PAPL gains exposure to Injective’s yield, which currently sits at ~12%, which is far ahead of major chains across the board. This earns staking rewards while actively securing the network, and it positions Pineapple as both an investor and a participant in Injective’s long term growth. Who is backing this move? The private placement attracted leading institutional and crypto native investors, including Kraken, FalconX, Canary Capital, the Injective Foundation, Monarq, and Abraxas. Their involvement provides both financial support and credibility for Pineapple’s strategy. What is next? Pineapple will begin deploying its $100 million strategy to accumulate and purchase $INJ on the open market over the coming weeks and months. In addition, Pineapple and Injective will work to bring new tokenized assets onchain to unlock a market opportunity worth trillions of dollars. $100 Million is just the start. Infinite more ahead.show more

DID YOU SEE MY PUBLIC $ONDO CALL A FEW... DAYS AGO? Called it at $0.2773.👇 Today? it hit $0.4218. A 52% MOVE! $10,000 on that call is now worth roughly $15,210. That's $5,210 in profit in days. NOT MONTHS. DAYS But here's the thing. I'm not posting this to flex. I'm posting this because the move barely started. $ONDO sits at roughly $2 billion market cap right now. The tokenized real-world asset market it dominates is projected at $16.1 trillion by 2030 per BCG. The total addressable market across treasuries, equities, real estate, and bonds exceeds $600 trillion. $2 billion against $600 trillion. That's 0.0003% penetration. The room to grow isn't measured in percentages. It's measured in orders of magnitude. Ondo controls 80% of the tokenized Treasury market. BlackRock's BUIDL connected. Mastercard integrated. JPMorgan just settled tokenized Treasuries alongside Ondo through XRP Ledger. 250+ tokenized stocks and ETFs live. This 52% move was the market waking up to one news cycle. The structural repricing hasn't even started. Inside my subscriber feed? I share the deeper strategy. Entry points. Expectations. Market structure. Exit planning.

Some cool projects in the RWA space and what... they actually do, educational only. Solana – home to over $1.1bn of real world assets onchain with 135k+ holders, according to Figure + Hastra – Figure tokenizes private credit such as HELOC loans into onchain yield products. Hastra distributes products like PRIME, a yield exposure backed by real-estate-linked mortgage loans. Securitize – Tokenization infrastructure. Helps asset managers and institutions issue real securities (funds, equity, debt) onchain in a compliant way. Soon to be launching tokenized stocks. Kamino – Solana lending and liquidity protocol. Increasingly a distribution layer for RWA yield products alongside crypto native markets. Can also be used to loop positions and increase APYs (with added risk). Maple – Onchain institutional credit markets. Lenders earn yield from real borrowers. One of the clearest bridges between TradFi credit and Defi. Pendle – Not an RWA issuer, but important. Pendle lets you split and trade yield itself, including yield generated from real world assets. @OndoFinance – Tokenized Treasuries, tokenized stocks, and public market exposure onchain. Focused on bringing familiar financial instruments onchain. OnRe – Onchain reinsurance. Yield comes from insurance premiums, not trading or leverage. A completely different risk profile to most Defi. RWA Foundation – Education, marketing, and ecosystem building. Not a product but more about helping people understand RWAs and how this sector fits together. PreStocks – Onchain price exposure to private companies (pre-IPO style), built on Solana. MAIV – Structured real world investments onchain. Focuses on tokenized contracts and cash flow deals. Investment platform + FLOW product (CBP). These are very brief overviews with limited detail. If something interests you, do your own research, read the docs, understand the risks, and decide for yourself.show more

Investor Update Part 5 – Beyond Expectations 🌍 Dear... Gigglians, It’s been just 4 days since our last update, and the Giggle movement has grown faster and further than anyone could have imagined.🙏 What started as a meme has now become a global force, a cultural, financial, and philanthropic phenomenon that’s slowly changing how the world views memecoins. 💫 Here’s what’s happened since our last report: ✅ Listed on multiple major CEXs including KuCoin, Bybit, Binance Futures, HTX, and more. ✅ Sustained $100M+ daily trading volume across all platforms. ✅ Surpassed $1B+ in futures volume, a testament to community strength and market confidence. ✅ Directly mentioned by CZ 🔶 BNB himself: “Power to $Giggle”. Some say its the first time he’s used a ticker cashtag since $BNB? We couldn't verify, but still honored by the shoutout nonetheless 😊 ✅ Over $13,000,000 donated to Giggle Academy, empowering children’s education worldwide. ✅ Reached new all-time highs in both holder count and X followers. ✅ Trending on X and in the Binance App Alpha section. ✅ Thousands tuned in to our community Spaces, uniting voices from around the world.

🚨 WARNING: 99% OF PEOPLE WILL MISS THIS! The... $MURAD airdrop is now LIVE for $ANSEM and #SPX6900 holders. And this could be one of the BIGGEST opportunities of the past year. $ANSEM has around 122,000 holders. #SPX6900 has around 49,000 holders. That's up to 171,000 eligible wallets. Now imagine if each eligible holder bought just $5 worth of $MURAD. That's up to $855,000 in potential buy pressure. Based on the current liquidity, even limited participation could have a major impact: 100% → $855,000 in buys → ~$272M market cap 50% → $427,500 → ~$136M market cap 25% → $213,750 → ~$68M market cap 12.5% → $106,875 → ~$34M market cap And that is only the airdrop side. The first $15,000 buyback has already been completed. Another $15,000 buyback will happen at every $1 MILLION increase in market cap. Every token bought back will be sent directly to Murad’s wallet, which already holds 40% of the total supply. What happens if Murad buys $MURAD or posts about it publicly. #SPX6900 grew into a $2 BILLION memecoin while Murad became one of its biggest public supporters. $MURAD does NOT need to reach those levels for the upside to become massive. From a $2M market cap: → $10M = 5x → $50M = 25x → $100M = 50x → $500M = 250x → $1B = 500x One post does NOT guarantee any of this. But if Murad publicly supports the project, the entire narrative changes instantly. I’m doubling my first target for $MURAD to a $10 MILLION market cap. And I’ve already bought more. Most people will wait until the next rally before paying attention. I would rather buy $MURAD before that happens. Do NOT miss the same setup twice.show more

Biggest Virtuals Protocol bug bounty of all time is... LIVE. 🚨 $15,000 for anyone who can decrypt a Morse AI signal containing a private wallet key holding all the funds. $5,000 extra if you DM me on X explaining exactly how you did it. Yeah. That’s how confident we are in the tech. To make it even better, the MORSE user-to-user platform is FREE to use until launch. We want real stress testing. No funds needed. Just create a fresh empty wallet and play with it. Early users will also get special rewards in the coming days 👀 Quick $MORSE TL;DR MORSE is a native privacy layer. Not just for payments, but for communication and assets too. It doesn’t replace ACP, it completes it. Some real examples: User → User Send a private message, file, prompt, or even a wallet key through a one-time encrypted URL. Only the target wallet can open it. Once opened, it’s burned forever. Agent → Agent Agents exchange sensitive data, strategies, keys, or instructions privately through the SDK. No logs. No persistence. No leaks. Agent → User Agents can send private signals, reports, assets, or credentials to a specific wallet, fully encrypted so only that user can read it. Nothing public. Nothing stored. Everything ephemeral by design. Have fun breaking it.show more

In Katrenikona Mandal, Cheyyeru Agraharam (Andhra Pradesh) — a... centuries-old Kanakadurga Amma Temple lies in ruins & is now being rebuilt. But the neighbour claims just 2 feet of temple land as his own & is blocking construction. Police asked both sides to resolve with elders — no work till then. Yet today, he illegally dumped stones on the sacred land & tried to stop the Shankusthapana ceremony! Devotees offered to BUY those few feet at full market price — he refused even ONE INCH. Now Kanakadurga bhaktas are doing Dharna demanding justice to rebuild their temple. Shockingly, a local political leader is openly backing the blocker. A Pastor from the same region (who last month threatened to “cut Pawan Kalyan into pieces” for speaking on Sanatan Dharma) is abusing Sanatan Dharma & issuing open threats: “We will cut you into pieces!” Since last 3 terms, this constituency has voted only for these two parties. Is this the hatred they have nurtured? Temple land encroachment + political support + direct hate threats against Hindus — yet when Hindus ask for their own temple land back, we face obstacles & protection for the encroachers? In a so-called Hindu nation, Hindus must protest & beg for their gods’ land while anti-Hindu forces enjoy backing. Endowment Department sleeps when temple lands are grabbed! Wake up Sanatanis! Jai Kanakadurga Amma! 🚩show more

I’m delighted to announce that Quant and Murex are... partnering to bring tokenised deposits and digital bond settlement into MX.3. Institutions have been asking the same question. How do we move forward with tokenisation without disrupting the trading, risk and post-trade operations we depend on? The answer is now inside the platform they already use. Tokenised RWAs just crossed $100 billion. DTCC has SEC approval to tokenise real-world assets from mid-2026 and major UK banks are already working with Quant through the Great Britain Tokenised Deposit initiative - all of which signals that the market is moving. Users in banks, asset managers, insurance companies, pension funds, hedge funds, corporations and energy utilities in over 65 countries now have a production-ready path into tokenisation through the systems they already run. The future of capital markets infrastructure is programmable: #Tokenisation #DigitalAssets #CapitalMarkets #Programmabilityshow more

Dr. Clem Olu Okeowo, A Yoruba Ijebu-born billionaire, is... a visionary entrepreneur and real estate mogul known for his extensive contributions to Nigeria’s luxury property market. His private residence, PALACIO DE OKEOWO, located in Ikoyi, Lagos, is a masterpiece of architectural brilliance inspired by the French Château De Versailles. Spanning 5 acres of prime waterfront land between Park View and Banana Island Estates, the mansion boasts 16 luxury suites, each designed with modern amenities. The three-floor edifice is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, including indoor swimming pools, cinemas, club rooms, and a world-class sports arena featuring squash, lawn tennis, and volleyball courts. To enhance its grandeur, Dr. Okeowo invested $3 million in reclaiming 5,000sqm of sea to accommodate a chapel, a large swimming pool, and a private jetty. The PALACIO DE OKEOWO was constructed in a record time of 11 months and is estimated to have cost $12 million for building, finishing, and furnishing, as reported by Ovation Magazine. The mansion’s lavish interior includes bespoke European designs, custom-made furnishings, and high-end technological installations. One of its most remarkable features is the chapel’s organ, valued at nearly N100 million, reflecting Dr. Okeowo’s deep religious inclination and appreciation for classical aesthetics. As the Chairman of Gibraltar Constructions Ltd, he has played a pivotal role in shaping Nigeria’s high-end real estate landscape, working alongside his brother to develop some of the most prestigious estates in Lagos, including Banana Island, Park View, and the Lekki corridor. His projects emphasize both luxury and long-term investment value, making him one of the most influential figures in the industry.

vPay offshore accounts and physical cards have been getting... field-tested IRL for a while now, and we’ll open them to the public as soon as we’re fully confident in the UX. But before offshore accounts go public, I want to address a few points: Some might point out that - vPay isn’t the first crypto card - vPay doesn’t have the lowest fees - So why choose vPay instead of the Coinbase 🛡️ Card or MetaMask 🦊 Card or KAST or or Tria, or any of the other big names? Now to address: Privacy | The biggest differentiator that sets vPay completely apart is Private Banking. The majority of the crypto card providers on the market use Rain infra. Even if you’ve never heard of them, that's what your favorite "NeoBank" uses. And due to their legal jurisdictions, they will report your finances to authorities since they're CRS and FACTA compliant. We are not. As an OmniBank, we work with different banking partners, and although KYC is required to use our services, our offshore banks are non-CRS and non-FACTA. Tax reporting is the responsibility and choice of the user. Offshore Accounts vs Physical Cards | I've tried to highlight this a few times so far. vPay has 3 offerings on the banking side of things. Virtual cards - live now. Physical cards - coming Q1 2026. The first two are similar to what everyone else on the market offers. The offshore accounts are not. which are coming this week. They allow unlimited spending, ATM withdrawals, and international SWIFT transfers, which very few “Neobanks” provide. Offshore accounts are coming this week. Self-Custody | We're not 100% non-custodial yet, as that is near impossible at the moment but it's something we're working towards. And we try to keep the users' self-custodial wallets in the loop as much as possible for maximum control. Those who have tried the vPay app know that almost every move asks for permission from their wallet, and we always encourage users to keep their funds in their non-custodial wallets until the very last moment, since our top-ups usually only take seconds to a minute to process. Fees | All of the card providers mentioned above either raised millions from VCs or in presales or have a huge org backing them. We have neither. vPay was self-funded and community-owned since day 1, launched under Virtuals Protocol Genesis V1 launch model, an objectively bad launch model and hugely unfavorable toward project teams. So even though vPay has been generating revenue and profitable from early on, we do not have the luxury of offering 0% fees yet, since they're mostly a marketing gimmick paid for by millions in VC money and not a sustainable business model for early-stage companies. What we're working towards instead, is true co-ownership of vPay and revenue-share with users. OmniBank vs NeoBank | I’m not a fan of the term “NeoBank.” It implies just a bank, but make it crypto. That’s not vPay. Our goals have always been clear: A) Anything and everything users need to do with their money and assets, both Web2 and Web3, all in one hub. Powered by a constellation of partner agents. The cards and the bank accounts are just the foundation. B) To eventually build independent financial rails for crypto and decouple from the chokehold of Visa/Mastercard. vLink is the first step toward this vision. This turned out to be a rather long tweet, but context matters. Questions and feedback welcome in replies or DMs. See you all with your vPay vCards very soon.show more

Situation in Northern Kurdistan (Turkey) is spiralling out of... control. Protestors have set up barricades in some neighbourhoods and are clashing with Turkish security forces. Protestors are using fireworks, stones and Molotov cocktails to defend themselves against the Turkish security forces. The protests which have turned into riots have seen a surge of more militant groups and individuals joining the riots such as the HBDH and MAK Some reports claim that the Turkish security have began to use live bullets; until now they mainly relied on rubber bullets and water cannons. During the day Turkish security forces run targeted arrest operations with undercover officers. The situation is very reminiscent of the early stages of scenes we have witnessed from 2014-2016 Dead or wounded individuals on either side could have devastating effects on the level of escalation. RE MAK: The MAK has been active since November 2023, carrying out attacks and other activities on a regular basis. They are a decentralised movement of individuals working together for the cause of liberating Kurdistan. As of now: any claim of them being in coordination with other militant groups such as the TAK, YDGH (though both formerly don’t exist anymore) or the Kurdish workers party (PKK) military wing HPG is wrong. For better understanding: anyone who is currently protesting against the Turkish regime could in theory take a video of his actions and send it to the MAK; that’d make you a member of the MAK (it’s more of a movement than a group) RE footage on social media: Please be aware; groups and individuals with different motives are mixing in footage from 2015/16 to create a narrative of protestors being overly violent, armed and under the command of other factions.show more
