Axelar has a unique perspective on why institutions are moving to tap into public blockchains—on display at Point Zero Forum 🔗👇 "These back-office systems at 10 disparate banks have become redundant, because they can outsource a lot of that to public infrastructure."

@pointzeroforum Axelar, become an infrastructure level that allows institutions to safely and seamlessly use blockchains. This is the future where decentralization brings real benefits to traditional finance.

@pointzeroforum Banks: let’s build 10 backends doing the same thing 😎 Axelar: bro just touch grass and use one chain 😂 Public blockchains out here deleting bank Excel sheets at Point Zero Forum 💀

@pointzeroforum Axelar highlights at @pointzeroforum that institutions are adopting public blockchains to streamline redundant back-office systems across banks by leveraging shared infrastructure.

It’s a new era for the digital assets industry in Washington. Working with @POTUS – and leaders like @SenLummis and @BoHines47 – we’re going to deliver regulatory clarity and drive innovation.

Why are asset managers + wealth advisors interested in tokenized assets? Tech innovation is important, but the full picture is much more left-curve. @DeutscheBank explains in a recent litepaper w/ @axelar + @Memento_Bc 🧵 👇

🚨 #XRPLEVM is now integrated with BOTH @axelar & @wormhole but don’t get it twisted… they will all work together Axelar = Token Teleporter Think of Axelar as the bridge that moves assets like $XRP across EVM-compatible blockchains. It wraps XRP so it can be used in ecosystems like Ethereum, Avalanche, Polygon, etc.👇🏼 🔁 Token transfers 🔐 Secured by 75 decentralized validators 💥 Opens up DeFi access for the XRP community Wormhole = Cross-Chain Messenger Wormhole is the data layer that lets smart contracts on different chains talk to each other. It’s not just about moving tokens — it’s about moving messages, commands, and instructions across 35+ chains.👇🏼 📡 Smart contract messaging 💼 Institutional-grade infrastructure 🌐 Connects XRPL to Solana, Ethereum, Aptos & more Axelar is for moving value (tokens) 🪙 Wormhole is for moving logic (data & messages) 🧠 They’re not competitors — they’re complements. Together, they give XRPL true multichain superpowers ⚡️ Why does this matter? Because XRPL is transforming from a siloed chain into a fully connected #DeFi and real-world asset hub. These integrations allow institutions, devs & users to build cross-chain apps without sacrificing speed, cost, or compliance. XRPL’s future is open, multichain, and institution-ready. With @axelar + @wormhole , $XRP can flow where the liquidity is, and smart contracts can reach where the opportunity is. This is how you build infrastructure for the next era of finance 🔗🌐

Decentralized blockchains are no longer a crypto experiment. They’re becoming institutional infrastructure. At Point Zero Forum Axelar Network nailed it: - Banks are outsourcing to public L1s - Regulation is adapting - Interoperability is the new compliance The shift is happening and it’s unstoppable. Axelar is ahead of the curve. This is why I'm bullish on $AXL

Elon Musk on SpaceX going public: “I've been giving a lot of thought to how to give people access to SpaceX stock, because I do want (Tesla) supporters to have SpaceX stock. Maybe at some point SpaceX should become a public company, despite all the downsides of being public.” I would buy SpaceX stock in a heartbeat, as would majority of Tesla Shareholders.

Africa’s Public Systems Didn’t Just Decline, They Were Left Behind Across many African countries, we’ve quietly normalized weak public systems. From education to energy and transportation, what used to be strong state institutions have gradually given way to private alternatives that are driven by profit, not public good. There was a time when public schools worked and produced generations of people who could compete anywhere in the world. Today, many families are turning to private options, not because they want to, but because they feel they have no real choice. At the heart of this is a deeper issue of purpose and direction. When institutions are not built around clear national interests, they struggle to function in any meaningful way. The private sector can step in, but it will always prioritize profit over people. And that is where the real tension lies. As The Spearhead’s Mckay Chukwu points out, if African countries are serious about long-term progress, then rebuilding strong public institutions grounded in sovereignty and a clear sense of purpose is not optional, it is necessary.

COVID-19 could have been a moment of reckoning for us with China, public health, misaligned incentives, and the institutions that failed us. Instead, the public systems were weakened, the private systems got stronger, and rare outbreaks are now arriving into an architecture already built to capture their genomes at scale. At some point, you have to ask whether the goal was ever to make us healthier, or just more measurable. My new investigation, “What We Caught in Beijing,” is now live.

Gokul explains why outcome-based software companies like Zendesk are more exposed to AI than systems of record like NetSuite, and why public markets are not distinguishing between the two. He argues that the only way AI-native startups can disrupt systems of record is by spending 1-2 years building migration tools to get data off of incumbent platforms. "The software companies that should be the most worried right now is where they are pricing the product based on utility. Zendesk is a good example. Instead of paying for 50 Zendesk seats, you can pay for 20 and I can have 30 AI agents sitting next to Zendesk. For these companies you need to change your pricing model to be based on outcome. It's going to be hard for them to stay public. The companies that are less exposed are ones based on data that has been collected and captured over a period of time. ERP is a great example. There is no compelling reason for someone to put their career at stake by ripping out NetSuite. NetSuite has more time to build AI agents on top of it because they have the data, they can train the AI agent on top of it and bundle it. I think the public markets do not distinguish between these two types of companies."

SITUATION EXPLAINED: The anti-data center movement is trying to solve problems that don't exist. Adrian Dittmann: "There are a lot of misunderstandings around what exactly these things are, their environmental impact, why they even have an impact at all." "There's a neighborhood complaining about generator noise. But they actually requested the data center not connect to the local power infrastructure. So now the company has to run generators. The people complaining about the noise created the noise." "The water problem, people don't understand that these are self-contained systems and that these issues are largely 10 to 20 years old. Many of these issues do not even apply anymore." "You can even look this up yourself. The price for electricity because of data center construction has actually gone down because it has forced the energy companies to actually improve the infrastructure, improve the power grid." "Same thing happened with EVs. They said if there's gonna be a million EVs, there's going to be a collapse of the energy infrastructure. You have millions of EVs now. Nothing collapsed."

21 major financial institutions are joining forces to enter the stablecoin race and will be using a public blockchain instead of building in their own walled garden "Citi, Goldman, other global banks, and asset managers team up on stablecoin venture. This is 21 major financial institutions committing to establishing a new stablecoin company during the second half of 2026, subject to closing conditions. This is Bank of America, Capital One, Citi, Goldman, Wells Fargo, Fidelity, WisdomTree, Deutsche Bank, Santander, UBS, MUFG, and more." "This was announced at the end of last year, that there were 10 of them looking at potentially maybe considering the chance that they would do something. Well, now we have a firm date and a firm plan, and that has increased from 10 to 21 institutions. They're saying that they will have a dollar-denominated stablecoin by the beginning of 2027, and that a euro stablecoin is the next priority, with additional G7 currencies potentially following." "The potential use cases they've floated are cross-border payments, asset settlement, wholesale and institutional transactions, but importantly, potential retail payments, which also was not in the initial proposal." "I also found it very, very good news that the tokens are intended to operate on public blockchains rather than exclusively inside a private bank network." "They have not announced what public blockchains that will be, but I can assure you that when they do, that will be extremely bullish for the underlying tokens. It's big news that it is not going to be behind a walled garden."

Martin Masser from ChangeNOW says banks are running software from the 70s, and crypto is how they get out "I think there was a point where we did think we would replace the banks, but that was probably 12 years ago. I think now, working parallel." "I worked in a lot of these banking systems, and do you know what, now that you've doxxed your age, a lot of the software in the banks is older than you." "They've got these legacy systems in from the '70s, and they just can't get that out because so much of that is ingrained. So you're in banking and you've got software from the '80s, '90s, '70s in there. It's just not going to be as efficient." "I think what's really interesting for the stage that we're at is there's going to be so many more things that we can do with crypto within banking." "The amount of people that are on the banking floor trying to approve settlements is crazy. We can do that in crypto really easily." "So I'm actually finding a lot more banks now are open to integrating, and they are now integrating a lot of the software, a lot of the ideas." "And I think the key thing people maybe don't realize, banks have been involved in this space for a very long time. A lot of the times they've been doing pilots, proofs of concept, little trials." "But now we're starting to see the banks integrating a lot of these systems, because they just see so many efficiencies that are there now with this."

Public Sector Banks were designed to give every Indian access to credit. The Modi government has turned these lifelines of the masses into private financiers for only the rich and powerful corporations. I met with a delegation from the All India Banking Officers Confederation, who expressed their distress at the state of our public sector banks and the impact of it on common people. - Public Sector Banks are being forced to prioritise profit over people and are thus unable to serve the public effectively - With staff shortages and a toxic work environment, they are expected to reach unachievable targets without a level playing field - Women employees are not given equal opportunity or advancement and forced to bear the brunt of dissatisfied public Modi govt must stop using PSBs as an unlimited source of funds for their fraudulent friends. There’s also more to a public sector bank than a dividend cheque to the govt at the end of the year.

Left: Robert Jenrick says Conservative losses were not because of how right wing the Conservative party has become.. Then he says they did't deliver tax cuts and acknowledges that public services are broken Right: That time Robert Jenrick has cartoons at a children's asylum seeker center painted over What's odd is that he says they didn't lower taxes enough but also admits that public services were decimated But he doesn't seem to acknowledge that public services have been decimated because of 14 years of Conservative tax cuts, so he's in a circular loop of 'we need tax cut' and 'public services are decimated' unable to recognise that unless you fund public services they will be decimated 🤷‍♂️
