Should the $XRP and the $XDC communities take this news as R3 choosing Solana over XRP and XDC or is this another partnership that exists alongside of $XRP and $XDC?

R3 will use XRP and XDC... They can't even mention XRP cause they are under NDAs 😬 Everything will derive directly or indirectly from XRP

Did they miss the Trump meme coin debacle? Nothing against Solana, I even hold a little. But it got WAY bogged down that day with the spike in volume. Imagine the daily battering it will take settling the stock trades.

Horseshit. Exposing people to solana with 10000s of rugpulls everyday. Thats the real risk

A bridge should not ask an institution to surrender the controls that made the asset acceptable on its source network. The harder question is whether authority, history, and recovery rights remain verifiable after liquidity becomes portable.

🏦 The Prividium Difference Cross-ledger settlement has always carried a timing gap between Leg 1 and Leg 2. That gap is principal risk. Prividium closes it. Both legs settle atomically or neither does.

Corda networks are now connected to Solana. Assets that have only ever existed on permissioned infrastructure can reach public liquidity, without leaving the networks they originated on. SIX and R3 on how it works, and why nobody had done it before. Made possible through our partnership with Solana.

.Nick Ducoff explains why institutions are choosing Solana for RWAs “In the past 12 months, real world assets on Solana have grown from around $170M to $2 billion. It’s an incredible growth rate and it’s only increasing. We’re very fortunate that some of the world’s great asset managers have issued on Solana. I think it really shows that institutions trust Solana. Institutions see Solana as reliable, resilient rails that also has distribution with 80 to 100 million active wallets on the network, $17 billion in stablecoins. It’s really a vibrant ecosystem that people increasingly see as the smart institutional choice for RWAs.”

Morpho CEO said out loud what everyone at DAS was thinking after the Resolv exploit: "No one wants to rely on DAO-managed risk management for their assets, they want control. They want control on risk, on compliance." If the protocol at the center of the curator crisis is explicitly calling for institutional curators to bring regulated guardrails onchain, what does that tell you about where vault infrastructure is headed?

Marc Andreessen: the thing startup founders misunderstand about 'risk' "I've always been a fan of what Andy Rachleff taught me, which is called The Onion Theory of Risk. You can think about the startup on Day 1 as having every conceivable kind of risk: founder risk, product risk, technical risk, revenue risk, etc. A startup at the beginning is this long list of risks. Being a founder is a process of peeling away layers of risk as you go."

For years, digital asset innovation has moved faster than regulation, creating uncertainty for developers, merchants, and consumers alike. The CLARITY Act aims to change that. By defining the legal status of digital assets and outlining how they should be regulated, the Act offers something the industry has long needed: a real framework for responsible innovation. This kind of regulatory clarity does more than reduce risk. It sets the stage for broader adoption, stronger consumer protections, and faster progress in areas like real-time settlement and programmable payments. In our latest blog, we break down what the CLARITY Act means for digital assets, why it matters for merchants, and how it could shape the next era of payments:

Martin Patriquin on the Gordie Howe Bridge deal: "It's literally a mob boss shakedown, what they did. Coming in at the last minute, at the behest of a competing bridge and using that saying, 'We don't like this deal, we're going to have to redo it.' And we don't have much of a choice because the bridge has to open."

🚨 BITCOIN IS ABOUT TO DO WHAT IT DID AFTER THE COVID CRASH The copper-to-gold ratio is literally lower than it was before the 2020 bull run. Whenever the ratio is low → risk-off sentiment. When the ratio is high → risk-on sentiment = bullish for risk assets. It's so low right now that a rotation into copper is almost inevitable at any moment. History has already shown that if it happens, Bitcoin explodes. Don't miss this once again.

For over 100 years, mutual funds have given investors access to professionally managed portfolios. Corda is rebuilding that model for the on-chain world, exclusively on Solana. Instead of static funds and slow distribution, Corda brings real-world assets on-chain and packages them into curated vaults run by experienced curators. These vaults are built for how on-chain investors actually deploy capital, with transparency, flexibility, and composability from day one. And the difference is what comes next. Assets on Corda don’t just sit in a fund. They plug directly into DeFi, unlocking liquidity, programmability, and entirely new ways to use real-world assets on-chain.

#WATCH | Delhi: On study conducted on 5000 heart attack patients, Professor of Cardiology, GB Pant Hospital, Dr Mohit Gupta says, "... In India, a heart attack happens 10 years before the death of a person. It is more severe. Often, if you and I go to a doctor and ask what the risk of a heart attack is, to calculate that, we have risk scores... All the risk scores that we have are either using Western risk scores, which are made up of 6 or 7 risk scores. We believed that if we apply these risk scores to the Indian population, that is, what are the chances of a heart attack in 10 years, if we apply these risk scores to the Indian population. These risk scores should not be validated for us because when these scores were made, they were made on the Western population... When we used Western risk scores in Indian heart attack patients, we saw that 80% of the people were classified in low risk and moderate risk..." (2.4)
