We're excited to announce the launch of the Chainlink Reserve, a new upgrade centered on the creation of a strategic onchain reserve of LINK tokens. The Chainlink Reserve is designed to support the long-term growth and sustainability of the Chainlink Network by accumulating LINK tokens using offchain revenue from large enterprises that are adopting the Chainlink standard and from onchain service usage. The Chainlink Reserve is being built up by using Payment Abstraction to convert offchain and onchain revenue into LINK, using a combination of Chainlink services and decentralized exchange infrastructure. Demand for Chainlink has already created hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, substantially from large enterprises that have paid offchain for access to the Chainlink Platform. With increasing demand from a number of the world’s largest banking and capital markets institutions, this form of paying for the Chainlink standard is expected to grow into the future as the industry grows. The Reserve has already accumulated over $1M worth of LINK from this early stage launch phase, which is expected to gradually grow in the coming months as more revenue is converted into LINK and placed into the Reserve. We do not expect any withdrawals from the Reserve for multiple years and thus it is expected to grow over time. We believe that as the industry demand for Chainlink’s unique capabilities increases, that adoption of Chainlink services will enable the Reserve to grow further. 🧵👇

🚨 JUST IN: A Korean bank just dropped SWIFT for #Ripple Payments. And the race wasn't even close. Same transfer, two rails: → The old rail: money hops bank to bank through the correspondent chain. Every hop adds a fee, a cutoff time and a day. Closed weekends. Arrives days later → #Ripple Payments: value moves in one straight line. Seconds to minutes, 24/7, visible end to end Jeonbuk Bank just became the first regional bank in Korea to make the switch, replacing multi-day SWIFT transfers for the businesses that feel it most: import-export firms, IT startups, content creators collecting global revenue. And it's #Ripple's THIRD major Korean institution this year: → Kyobo Life, Korea's largest life insurer: on-chain bond settlement → Kbank, Korea's first internet-only bank: custody infrastructure → Jeonbuk Bank: live cross-border payments SWIFT sends messages and the money crawls behind them. #Ripple moves the value itself. The message network had a 50-year head start. The settlement network is lapping it. Liked what you just read? Follow RippleXity and never miss the $XRP deep links others overlook.

What if the future of finance wasn’t just digital, but truly interoperable? Our latest trials show how Swift is helping make that a reality. We’ve completed pioneering digital asset interoperability trials with leading institutions, including BNP Paribas Securities Services, Intesa Sanpaolo and Societe Generale – FORGE, showcasing how Swift can orchestrate tokenised asset transactions across multiple platforms. This milestone builds on a broader set of recent trials, such as: ✅ ISO 20022 interoperability between blockchains with HSBC and Ant International ✅ Fiat and digital currency settlement with Citi ✅ Digital asset transaction exchange with Northern Trust and the Reserve Bank of Australia ✅ Bridging tokenised assets with UBS Asset Management and Chainlink Labs With these trials complete, we’re now adding a blockchain-based ledger to our infrastructure stack to enable real-time, 24/7 cross-border payments, in collaboration with more than 40 global banks. 👉 Read the full story: #DigitalAssets #Blockchain #Interoperability #SwiftLedger

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.

JAPAN TO PUT ITS $1.6T REPO MARKET ON THE BLOCKCHAIN A consortium of Japan's top financial institutions plans to launch 24/7 trading of tokenized government bonds by end of 2025, Nikkei reported. The system will issue bonds as blockchain-based security tokens and settle transactions using stablecoins. That shift moves settlement from T+1 to T+0, same-day finality. The initial focus is Japan's repo market, which represents roughly 10% of a global market valued at $16 trillion. A development body launches in May, anchored by MUFG's stablecoin platform Progmat.

🚨 RIPPLE CEO CALLED OUT CITI BY NAME 🤯 Brad Garlinghouse didn’t even try to hide it. At the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium he looked at the camera and said Ripple competes with Citi “sort of indirectly” — then explained why. Citi is one of the two biggest correspondent banks on SWIFT. They make roughly $5 billion a year in gross margin just sitting in the middle of cross-border payments. They have every reason to keep the old, slow, expensive system alive. Ripple’s entire play is to take that business on-chain. The banks want a seat at the table. Ripple wants the table. Watch the clip. This one isn’t subtle.

A traveler taps her card at a market thousands of miles from home. The payment feels instant, simple, straightforward. It’s not. Behind that tap, money may need to move across currencies, banks, payment providers, and borders. Traditional systems often require companies to park funds in local accounts before they are needed, leaving capital stagnant for long periods of time where it’s not able to earn a return or be put to work. Members of the Avalanche Payments Collective are building a more efficient global payments model, one that keeps capital productive up until the moment it needs to move. Here are five members working across different parts of cross-border payments and treasury infrastructure: Axiym provides payment and treasury infrastructure that helps institutions route liquidity and settle transactions without pre-funding every market. Its technology supported Hyundai Motor America’s stablecoin payment to its Mexico affiliate, completed on Avalanche in minutes instead of days. Nonco helps institutions exchange currencies and stablecoins by requesting prices directly from a network of professional liquidity providers. That gives them access to more competitive rates while allowing both sides of the transaction to settle together onchain. SMBC, Japan’s second-largest bank, is exploring stablecoin infrastructure for wholesale institutional payments. It is also working alongside MUFG and Mizuho on a potential yen-pegged stablecoin initiative built on Avalanche. StraitsX is working with KBank through Project BLOOM to develop payment infrastructure that can improve settlement across Southeast Asian corridors where moving money remains particularly slow and expensive. AeraTech helps multinational companies manage cash across subsidiaries, offset internal obligations, and settle inter-company payments without unnecessarily routing every transaction through external banks. These different companies all represent or engage with different parts of the payment and treasury stack. But they all have a shared goal: keep capital working longer, move it when it is needed, and make cross-border payments faster and more efficient. That is what the Avalanche Payments Collective is bringing together. Frictionless, borderless payments that really are instant, simple, and straightforward.

JPMorgan's JPM Coin just landed in Argentina, and it could be the start of a much bigger Latin American push. A group of Argentine banks including Banco CMF through its corporate unit QORP has begun piloting JPM Coin, JPMorgan's fiat-backed deposit token, for interbank settlement and reconciliation. The pilot is currently running without real money, using blockchain to record and reconcile transactions while traditional systems handle final settlement, but Banco CMF's CIO says the goal is to verify improvements in settlement times of up to 50%. Banco Galicia, BIND, and Banco Comafi are reportedly evaluating whether to join. The timing is notable. Argentina's central bank still bars banks from offering crypto to customers, but internal blockchain use is not prohibited, and that restriction is under active review. JPMorgan opened JPM Coin to institutional clients on the Base Layer 2 network in November 2025 and expanded to the Canton Network in January. The Argentine pilot is its first confirmed emerging market foothold. Latin America recorded $1.5 trillion in crypto transaction volume between 2022 and 2025. If Argentina proves out the model, JPMorgan has explicitly flagged Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico as the next logical targets.

🚨JUST IN: RIPPLE TESTS RLUSD IN SINGAPORE TRADE FINANCE SANDBOX Ripple has entered Singapore’s central bank-backed sandbox to test $RLUSD for cross-border trade, according to CoinDesk. The initiative is part of the BLOOM program led by MAS. It aims to modernize settlement using tokenized bank liabilities and stablecoins. Ripple is working with Unloq to automate payment triggers.

🚨 BREAKING: Filipino Banks Launch PHPX on Hedera! 🇵🇭 🚀 This is HUGE for $HBAR demonstrating its potential in the Financial Sector and Cross Border Payments! 🔥 Here are a few reasons why they chose Hedera: 👀 - Security: Utilizing a hashgraph consensus algorithm for high security and transaction finality. - Speed: Offers sub-second transaction finality, ideal for real-time payment systems. - Governance: Governed by a council of leading organizations, ensuring a decentralized yet regulated environment. - Transaction Volume: Anticipated to handle transactions in the $BILLIONS, enhancing the efficiency of financial transactions within and beyond the Philippines. These are the Banks Involved and Implementation Timeline: 🏦 - UnionBank of the Philippines (UnionBank): Known for being crypto-friendly, UnionBank is leading the charge with PHPX, aiming to enhance its digital banking services. - Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC): Part of the consortium, RCBC has been exploring blockchain for remittances and will now integrate PHPX. - Cantilan Bank: A smaller bank, but its inclusion shows the initiative spans across different bank sizes. - Rural Bank of Guinobatan: Adds to the diversity of banks, focusing on rural financial inclusion. Implementation Timeline: ⌛️ While exact dates weren't specified, there's an indication that the launch will occur later in 2025, with ongoing discussions and preparations at events like the Singapore Fintech Festival suggesting active development. Impact on HBAR Price: 📈 - Increased Demand: With PHPX's adoption, there would be a rise in demand for HBAR, as transactions on Hedera require HBAR for network operations. Market Dynamics: 💲 Although increased usage might lead to price appreciation, the broader crypto market, regulatory environments, and technological advancements will also play significant roles in determining HBAR's price trajectory. This step by Filipino banks towards using Hedera for PHPX marks a significant push towards blockchain in traditional finance, potentially setting a precedent for other banks globally. 💥 I believe this is the first of many exciting announcements we’ll see from the Financial Industry and their adoption of $HBAR’s unique technology! The future is built on Hedera! 🚀 If you found this informative don’t hesitate to repost so others can learn about Hedera! Hit the follow button for more breaking $HBAR’s news too! 😎 🙏

S&P Global Ratings, the world’s leading provider of credit ratings, benchmarks, and analytics referenced by 95% of the top 20 global institutional investors, has partnered with Chainlink to publish its Stablecoin Stability Assessments (SSAs) onchain for the first time through DataLink. Through this partnership, more than 2,400 institutions, protocols, and developers in the Chainlink ecosystem can now directly access these assessments across 40+ public and private blockchains. This milestone marks a major leap forward in the capital markets’ adoption of tokenized finance. As S&P Global increasingly moves onchain, the company brings with it: • Over 1 million credit ratings outstanding • 1,500+ credit analysts across 150+ countries • Ratings coverage for ~1 million securities • 4,600+ corporates rated globally The stablecoin market now exceeds $300 billion, nearly doubling from a year prior. With the passage of the GENIUS Act, the first U.S. federal regulatory framework for stablecoins, these digital assets are now positioned as core financial infrastructure for global payments, trade, and settlement. However, institutions seeking to integrate stablecoins require transparent, standardized, and verifiable onchain risk insights to do so responsibly. S&P Global Ratings’ SSAs fill that gap. These assessments evaluate a stablecoin’s ability to maintain parity with fiat currencies, scored from 1 (very strong) to 5 (weak), based on asset quality, governance, liquidity, redemption mechanisms, and track record. Chainlink infrastructure, which actively secures nearly $100 billion in DeFi TVL and has enabled more than $25 trillion in onchain transaction value, ensures these assessments are delivered with industry-standard reliability, security, and data integrity. This partnership signals the beginning of a new era in financial markets, where real-time, institutionally validated risk data becomes the foundational layer of onchain finance. Learn more:
