🇪🇺 Warning: €500 Trillion Monster Moving Onchain. New TARGET report confirms the backbone of Europe's financial system. €500 trillion settled annually. Two priorities before 2030: 1. Issue the digital euro. 2. Link existing DLT platforms to settle tokenized wholesale transactions in central bank money. The networks we talk about every day. Connected to Europe's entire financial infrastructure. Meanwhile: • SBI Holdings: investing directly in Canton Network. $CC • Ripple: $3.2B Flutterwave stake. XCurrent baked in since 2018. I was asked to delete a tweet in 2019 speculating on Ripple and Alipay integration. $XRP $RLUSD • SBI + University of Tsukuba: joint research on XDC blockchain. $XDC • RCAX: streaming yield in real time on tokenized equities. $HBAR • HSuite: dual launch on Hedera and XRP Ledger. $HBAR $XRP • Coinbase: first ever 1:1 tokenized stocks go live. • Solana: SpaceX onchain. $250M volume since launch. Collector Crypt: largest TCG marketplace across all chains. $SOL $SPCX • Score on Bittensor Subnet 44: making every existing camera intelligent. $TAO The entire financial system of Europe is moving onchain.

BREAKING DOCUMENT FOUND 🌋 EU policy document states crypto must now be treated as part of the transatlantic financial architecture. This architecture governs trillions in capital flows between the U.S., UK, and EU. Interesting dots being connected.... The Regulated Liability Network is live in the UK, running parallel rails to the banking system. Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, NatWest, Santander, Visa, and Mastercard are involved. Quant and R3 were selected as core technology partners. Canton Network ( CC ): Lloyds and Archax just completed the UK’s first tokenized sterling deposit transaction on a public blockchain. Canton was built by Digital Asset and aligns directly with the RLN model.... In Japan tokenized deposits are already live via DCJPY, led by Japan Post Bank and MUFG. QNT infrastructure is confirmed as a key enabler. Ripple is now FCA approved in the UK, positioning XRP & RLUSD directly inside regulated payment and settlement frameworks tied to this same system. Tokenized deposits, regulated money, and interoperable settlement are being wired into sovereign financial infrastructure. This is the first time I've stumbled across the term "transatlantic financial architecture" before.....wild stuff. Crypto is no longer adjacent to the system. Crypto is being absorbed into it.

We Were Right About This Space $12.7 trillion is now moving toward tokenized money markets. JPMorgan Chase Wealth Management just released a document describing the tokenization of money market funds as a fundamental upgrade to the plumbing of global finance, not a simple technology enhancement. The global money market fund industry is ~$12.7T, with ~$8.1T in the U.S. alone. Their position is explicit: Tokenized money market funds extend the evolution from stablecoins and deposit tokens while enabling: • faster settlement • greater predictability • improved collateral efficiency • more transparent redemptions that may enhance financial stability This document is written for institutional, wholesale, and professional clients and references live infrastructure, not theory. Networks and systems mentioned or contextualized: • Hedera as a public permissioned DLT with built-in regulatory controls • Solana and Avalanche as scalable, widely adopted public blockchains • Bitcoin and Ethereum as foundational blockchain systems • Canton Network through JP Morgan–related settlement and market infrastructure activity Additional real-world deployments highlighted: • JP Morgan arranged a U.S. commercial paper issuance on Solana for Galaxy, purchased by Coinbase and Franklin Templeton Interesting connections uncovered: • Visa launched USDC settlement for U.S. banks on Solana, with Cross River Bank helping scale the program to billions in annualized volume • As early as 2016, Cross River Bank was among the first U.S. banks to adopt Ripple (the “IOU network”) for real-time, low-cost cross-border payments, long before today’s tokenization narratives By the numbers: JP Morgan’s global liquidity business manages ~$1.4T, including ~$1.1T in money market funds, and is actively developing tokenized versions to optimize liquidity. For context, total on-chain tokenized real-world assets today are still only ~$50B. JP Morgan alone is discussing tokenization at a multi-trillion-dollar scale. This isn’t speculation. Regulated financial institutions are preparing for tokenized markets to operate inside the existing system, not outside of it. Networks mentioned: SOL I HBAR I XRP I CC I LINK I ETH I AVAX I BTC Watch what they do, not what they say.

BOOM🚨🚨🚨 THE WHITE HOUSE JUST AGREED ON THE CLARITY ACT ETHICS PACKAGE. THE WALL THAT BLOCKED THIS BILL FOR MONTHS IS CRACKING. And this is extremely bullish for $XRP, $XLM, $HBAR and American-made utility digital assets. Eleanor Terrett reports the administration reached agreement on the ethics provision and is sharing the language with Republican senators right now. Updated bill text is expected within days. Understand what stalled and what just moved. For months, every negotiation died on one question: how to handle conflicts of interest between officials and digital assets. That dispute froze the text, drained the odds and ate the calendar. Today, the White House side of that fight closed. What remains: Democratic votes. The bill needs roughly seven to reach 60. The new language is the offer. The floor vote is the answer. Now understand what a CFTC commodity framework opens for each American-built network. $XRP is the settlement and liquidity asset. The XRPL already hosts tokenized US Treasuries with RLUSD handling redemptions around the clock, and its ledger has moved over $1.7 trillion in value since 2012. Cross-border payments alone move trillions every year through pre-funded accounts that XRP was designed to replace. Legal certainty is what lets US banks and custodians finally route that flow through it. $XLM is the tokenization rail Wall Street already picked. Franklin Templeton, Circle and WisdomTree issue on Stellar today, and DTCC, whose systems processed $4.7 QUADRILLION in securities last year, chose it as a partner chain for tokenized assets targeting 2027. Even a fraction of that volume dwarfs the entire crypto market. $HBAR is the enterprise settlement layer. Governed by a council with Fortune 500 names, already carrying tokenized collateral trades for UK banks, already classified as a digital commodity. Every institutional transaction on the network pays fees in HBAR. More regulated issuers means more fee demand by design. And the pattern extends to every utility asset made in America. These networks spent a decade building compliance features, passing audits and waiting for a rulebook while capital sat legally locked out. Pensions, corporate treasuries and asset managers control tens of trillions they could not deploy into unregulated markets. Clarity does not create the demand. It releases it. Laws open doors. Capital walks through them. Text drops next. Watch the Democrats' reaction, not the price.

Why would banks ever bother using XRP’s public network if Ripple already gives them access to private ones? Banks can't afford to have every move out in the open. The info they handle, their internal workflows, and strategic decisions—those aren’t things they can just put on blast for anyone to see. Privacy here isn’t optional. So Ripple went ahead and built private versions, essentially closed-off blockchains using the same underlying XRPL system. This lets banks issue digital currencies, tokenize assets, run tests without exposing any sensitive data. But these private systems don’t really talk to each other. Each bank ends up operating on its own walled garden. So when Bank A wants to settle a deal with Bank B, how do they do that across totally separate networks? That’s exactly where the XRP Ledger mainnet is needed. It acts like a neutral middle ground that lets all these different private systems link up and move value between each other. XLS-38 allows private chains to “lock” assets on one chain and recreate them on another using something called door accounts and witness servers. Here’s what could look like in practice: A central bank issues its own digital currency—let’s say on a private Ripple ledger but when they need to send money overseas, hey use a cross-chain bridge that shifts value through XRP, on the public side. This only works well if XRP has serious liquidity. That means XRP needs to be priced high enough to handle large moves. You might be thinking: why not just use stablecoins? Problem is, that leads right back to the old issue. If you’re holding one coin for every company or institution—Google’s coin, JPMorgan’s coin, etc., you’ve recreated the same mess that Nostro/Vostro accounts were supposed to fix. Instead, what’s needed is one bridge asset that everyone can use, that nobody owns, and that isn’t tied to any one player. That’s XRP. It’s decentralized and purpose-built to move value between networks. This is especially important when trust is low. Let’s say you’re a bank and you don’t fully trust the institution on the other end, you still need to be able to verify that the transaction. With XRP as the bridge, there’s no relying on the other party’s private system. Banks move cautiously. They’re slow to change anything. But Ripple’s been sitting down with central banks for over ten years, getting them comfortable with how these private ledgers work. That long trial period is just about wrapped up. Eventually, these countries will need a common pathway to move funds internationally. That’s where XRP fits in. David Schwartz summed it up nicely: one day they’ll “push the red button and the walls come down.” These private chains aren’t staying isolated forever. Once institutions are ready, they’ll connect to the public XRP ledger to go global. The more banks and governments using private Ripple ledgers, the more need there is to connect them. And every one of those connections requires XRP—for fees, bridging, and keeping liquidity flowing. But none of this scales until XRP’s supply meets the demand. It has to be priced high enough to move trillions without creating volatility. Until then, large institutions stay on the sidelines. This is about whether the asset can support real, global financial traffic. It has to hold its value while moving huge amounts across borders, through CBDCs, and across tokenized assets without issues. Their approach is pretty clever, actually. Let institutions warm up to the tech privately. Let them get confident. Then, when they’re ready for more reach, guide them gently onto the mainnet. Where this all leads: XRP becoming a top-tier digital asset with the depth and volume to support global money movement. What XRP really brings is a way to move money between walled-off digital systems. As more players show up, that function becomes more and more critical. It’s the infrastructure holding it all together. Here’s the bottom line: Private chains give banks the confidentiality they need. The XRP mainnet gives them a way to connect. You can’t really scale global finance on blockchain without both parts working in sync.

🌋 Warning: DTCC Just Got the Green Light. The $3.7 Quadrillion Monster Goes Onchain in 2026 Today, the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation received an SEC No Action Letter allowing them to tokenize real world, DTC-custodied assets on blockchain. This is historic. DTCC settles about 3.7 quadrillion dollars every year. It is the core settlement engine behind nearly every stock trade, ETF movement, and Treasury transfer in the United States. And they are now cleared to begin rolling out tokenization in 2026. This is not a pilot and not a test. The SEC has formally authorized a tokenization service for highly liquid assets including: • The Russell 1000 • Major index ETFs • U.S. Treasury bills, notes, and bonds These are some of the deepest liquidity pools on earth. Each tokenized asset will carry the same rights, protections, and ownership structure as the traditional version. This mirrors the digital twin model that Nasdaq filed for earlier this year. This is the first real path to onchain U.S. securities. DTCC has been testing DLT for almost a decade. Securrency’s patents, now owned by DTCC, reference multiple networks including Hedera (HBAR), XRP Ledger, Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and there are already deep integrations with Chainlink (LINK). And this isn’t happening in a vacuum. The Global Blockchain Business Council has been building a multi-network risk mitigation framework with contributors like DTCC, Hedera, Ripple, Cardano (ADA), Avalanche (AVAX), Clearstream, Euroclear, Canton (CC) and Chainlink. These trials are being overseen by the World Bank. The framework is designed to give institutions a safe and standardized path to use public networks. It is the clearest signal that a multi-chain future is already being engineered behind the scenes. This also lines up with OCC guidance confirming that U.S. national banks can now buy and sell crypto for customers as a riskless principal. Banks plus DTCC plus regulatory clarity is the digital market structure that institutions have been waiting for. DTCC will soon publish: • Approved blockchain networks • Wallet registration requirements • Onboarding standards for institutions • Compliance and reporting frameworks We will finally see which networks will be used in production. This is the moment crypto shifts from asset class to infrastructure. TradFi is not speculating. They are rebuilding the settlement layer of global finance on distributed ledger technology. Tokenization is no longer a narrative. It is a regulated roadmap. Rollout begins in the second half of 2026. The internet of information is literally becoming the internet of value.

🌋 Solana tweeted 589 today, but the real story is what's happening behind the scenes... Solana posted “589” and the internet exploded, but the timing lines up with Breakpoint in Abu Dhabi and RippleX’s global partner success lead being on the Solana main stage. There is clearly real technical work or trials happening between XRP & SOL, even if people try to spin it as something else. More importantly, major policy moves dropped across the UK and EU that barely hit the radar: The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority released a major discussion paper on the future of retail investing. It is not a crypto document, but crypto sits at the center of it. They are looking at new risk models, stronger disclosures, cooling off periods and how to regulate high volatility assets. This is a clear step toward pulling crypto into a fully regulated investment environment. Lloyds Bank said tokenized deposits and AI could completely redesign the home buying process. Real estate is one of the largest asset classes on earth, and the largest mortgage provider in the UK is openly talking about putting the entire conveyancing process on blockchain. That is a major signal. The European Commission then released its next phase package expanding the DLT pilot regime and preparing Europe for one unified crypto rulebook under ESMA. This places DLT directly inside the future capital markets framework of the EU. Swift announced a blockchain ledger, and according to former senior leadership at Swift (XDC), this now puts them in the position of playing catch up to Ripple and others that have been building in this space for years. Today, Chief Policy Officer Nilmini Rubin represented Hedera (HBAR) at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce’s 2025 B7 event focused on economic security and resilience.

🌋 Solana tweeted 589 today, but the real story is what's happening behind the scenes... Solana posted “589” and the internet exploded, but the timing lines up with Breakpoint in Abu Dhabi and RippleX’s global partner success lead being on the Solana main stage. There is clearly real technical work or trials happening between XRP & SOL, even if people try to spin it as something else. More importantly, major policy moves dropped across the UK and EU that barely hit the radar: The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority released a major discussion paper on the future of retail investing. It is not a crypto document, but crypto sits at the center of it. They are looking at new risk models, stronger disclosures, cooling off periods and how to regulate high volatility assets. This is a clear step toward pulling crypto into a fully regulated investment environment. Lloyds Bank said tokenized deposits and AI could completely redesign the home buying process. Real estate is one of the largest asset classes on earth, and the largest mortgage provider in the UK is openly talking about putting the entire conveyancing process on blockchain. That is a major signal. The European Commission then released its next phase package expanding the DLT pilot regime and preparing Europe for one unified crypto rulebook under ESMA. This places DLT directly inside the future capital markets framework of the EU. Swift announced a blockchain ledger, and according to former senior leadership at Swift (XDC), this now puts them in the position of playing catch up to Ripple and others that have been building in this space for years.

The Old Money System Just Hit Its Breaking Point - And a New One Is Rising. On December 1, 2025, something historic happens that almost nobody in the mainstream is talking about: The Federal Reserve crossed a line it can never uncross. Quantitative Tightening ended. The balance sheet froze at $6.57 trillion. The Fed drained $2.39 trillion out of the system - the largest liquidity withdrawal in world history - and instead of stabilizing the system, it exposed how fragile it truly is. Then the real shock hit: • The Reverse Repo safety valve (once stuffed with $2.5T in excess cash) has collapsed to almost zero. • Bank reserves have dropped to $3T - the danger zone. • Treasury markets buckled. SOFR spiked. • The Fed’s “emergency-only” Standing Repo Facility suddenly became a daily requirement, not a crisis tool. • And now the Fed effectively promises: “Any Treasury bond can be instantly turned into Fed money, anytime, no limit.” This means the Fed is no longer a lender of last resort. It’s the lender of every night. The old system is permanently broken. This is not a “policy shift.” This is the birth of a new monetary regime. A regime where the U.S. government must rely on the Federal Reserve every day simply to keep Treasury markets from seizing up. And when a money system must be rescued every 24 hours, it is no longer a money system. It is life support. THE GOOD NEWS: A NEW SYSTEM IS ALREADY BEING BUILT. While the old, opaque, debt-soaked fiat system enters the “Standing Repo Era,” the world is quietly building a brand-new global financial architecture on top of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT): 1. The GENIUS Act (Stablecoin Law) For the first time in U.S. history, stablecoins are federally regulated as real, dollar-redeemable money backed 1:1 with high-quality liquid assets. This isn’t “crypto speculation.” It’s programmable U.S. money that moves at internet speed, settles instantly, and operates outside the bottlenecks of legacy intermediaries. 2. ISO 20022 (Global Messaging & Transparency Standard) This standard — now fully activated across global banks and clearing systems — exposes what used to be hidden: • transaction routes, • embedded fees, • collateral shortfalls, • liquidity leaks, and • fraudulent flows previously buried inside SWIFT’s opaque formatting. For the first time, global money movement is transparent, structured, traceable, and auditable. In Biblical language: What was done in darkness is now being shouted from the rooftops. (Luke 12:2–3) 3. The CLARITY Act (Digital Commodities Law) This legislation, now advancing again after the shutdown ended, will define: • which digital assets are securities, • which are commodities, • how decentralized networks are certified, • how exchanges operate, and • what “mature blockchain systems” are allowed broad public access. This opens the door for commodity-grade digital assets like XRP, XLM, ALGO, HBAR, etc., to become infrastructure rails, not speculative toys. 4. Real-World-Asset (RWA) Tokenization Real estate, commodities, bonds, invoices, treasuries, trade credits, and entire supply chains can now be converted into digital tokens on a ledger - with: • fractional ownership, • real-time settlement, • reduced counterparty risk, • global liquidity, and • transparent valuation. Trillions will migrate onto ledgers. Not because it’s trendy - but because it’s cheaper, faster, safer, and more honest. 5. Sovereign Trade + Mutual-Consent Architecture Nations are now negotiating trade, tariffs, supply chains, and settlement directly over interoperable DLT rails - without needing to beg approval from: • the IMF, • the World Bank, • the BIS, • private central bank cartels, or • unaccountable NGOs. This moves power out of centralized globalist bodies and back toward: •sovereign countries, •commercial banks, •corporations, and •individual citizens.

140 of the biggest financial firms on Earth just teamed up to assassinate ONE company. The same company they helped BUILD for 7 years. BlackRock, Coinbase, Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, BNY Mellon, and Google all showed up to sign the kill order: Yesterday, a consortium of over 140 financial firms launched a new stablecoin called Open USD. The target: Circle Internet Group, the $17 billion company behind USDC. Circle stock crashed 17.5% in a single trading session and closed near $62. It is now down more than 40% in 30 days from its May high of $138. But this is NOT a story about a competitor showing up... This is about a company getting assassinated by the exact partners it depended on to survive. Here is how deep the betrayal goes: Coinbase and Circle co-founded USDC together in 2018. They built the stablecoin as partners through the Centre Consortium. In 2024 alone, Circle paid Coinbase $908 million as a distribution fee for hosting USDC on the Coinbase platform. That revenue-sharing agreement expires in August 2026. Six weeks before that renewal, Coinbase publicly signed onto a project designed to make USDC obsolete. BlackRock literally manages Circle's reserves. The world's largest asset manager has been sitting on the $73.6 billion in US Treasuries backing USDC but joined a consortium built to redirect that interest income to other partners instead of Circle. BNY Mellon is Circle's custody bank. Same playbook here. Custody by day, competitor by night. And Open USD is launching natively on Base, which is Coinbase's own blockchain. Coinbase is literally constructing the rails to replace USDC on the chain Coinbase owns. And what makes it worse: 99% of Circle's 2024 revenue came from interest earned on those Treasury reserves. That is the entire business model. Take user dollars, park them in short-term T-bills, keep the yield. Open USD's pitch to the market is a single sentence: Partners keep the yield instead of Circle. Zero minting fees or redemption fees. Almost all the interest income flows back to the 140 companies distributing the coin. Every "partner" that gave Circle its network effect just realized they had been paying Circle to do something they could do themselves. The interim CEO of Open Standard is Zach Abrams, the co-founder of Bridge, the stablecoin infrastructure firm Stripe acquired for $1.1 billion in 2024. Stripe's stablecoin acquisition is now running the coordinated hit against Circle as well. Circle's own CEO Jeremy Allaire went on the record calling USDC "the most trusted, widely adopted stablecoin globally" and welcoming the competition. That is the polite corporate translation for "our largest revenue-sharing partner just publicly announced they no longer need us." Citi projects the stablecoin market will hit $4 trillion by 2030. 140 companies looked at that number, looked at how much of it Circle was keeping, and coordinated to take it. The exchanges that gave USDC liquidity, the banks that gave USDC legitimacy, the card networks that gave USDC distribution, and the asset managers that gave USDC credibility... Every one of them spent years inside the walls before yesterday's public execution. The most successful crypto IPO of 2025 just got dismantled by the SAME names that built it. What do you think?

THE RAILROAD MEN, THE BROKEN RAILS, AND THE NEW MONEY TRACKS OF THE WORLD Let me tell you a story - the kind your granddad might’ve told sitting by a wood stove, the kind that cuts through the fog, the lies, the banker-speak, and hits your soul with the simplicity of: “Of course that’s how it works.” Once upon a time, every nation ran its money on rotten tracks. Not by accident. By design. The tracks were crooked. The switches jammed. The fees were hidden. The travel times were unpredictable. And the men who owned the track… weren’t elected. They liked things confusing. Confusion keeps pockets open and oversight closed. Your money - my money - every paycheck, every wire, every mortgage, every loan - moved through a rickety, blind, 50-year-old rail system nobody could inspect. Governments complained. Businesses complained. People complained. But the track owners just smiled and said: “Trust us.” And everyone did… because what choice did they have? Then one day a new track appeared - smooth, straight, and honest. A track made of math instead of politics. Transparency instead of secrecy. Finality instead of guesswork. It didn’t wiggle. It didn’t reroute. It didn’t stall. It didn’t shake down passengers for lunch money. It settled every transaction in 3–5 seconds. Every time. No exceptions. It didn’t care whether you were a farmer, a banker, or a prime minister. The rules were the rules for everyone. They named this new track: The XRP Ledger. And instead of one man’s company store, it came with: • a built-in currency exchange (no middlemen) • a global bridge asset (XRP) • a native payment router (ILP) • a regulator-friendly design • no downtime in 12 years • no pay-to-play gas wars • no bribed block builders • no “maybe finalized” nonsense • no outages • no drama It worked the same way every day. Like a railroad should. “But why would the big banks switch?” people asked. Here’s the part Paul Harvey would call “the rest of the story.” The bankers didn’t switch because they suddenly found integrity. They switched because they had no choice. The old tracks were collapsing. • Liquidity dried up • Reserve buffers vanished • Regulations tightened • Fraud got illuminated • ISO 20022 turned the lights on • The Treasury demanded transparency • The world demanded atomic settlement And when the Trump Administration began pushing for a new monetary architecture back in 2017, they weren’t doing it for show. They saw the collapse coming. They planned for the rebuild. They positioned the rails. The only rail that met the criteria — ALL the criteria - wasn’t theoretical. It was already running. The common-sense part: If a man needs to get from St. Louis to Chicago fast, safe, and cheap… and only one railroad line actually runs there… you don’t need a PhD or a banker’s certificate to figure out which train he’ll take. You don’t pick the train that: • breaks down • reroutes randomly • charges you a mystery price • doesn’t run on time • or has “great plans coming soon” You pick the one that works today. That’s XRPL. Not “maybe someday.” Not “once upgrades finish.” Not “if the devs agree.” Not “after an L2 patch.” NOW. Right now. Today. Christmas 2025. Why the other tracks failed: Because they were built for casinos, not countries. • Ethereum: Great for gambling, awful for governance. Probabilistic finality + MEV = instant disqualification. • Solana: Fast until it isn’t. Outages aren’t acceptable for global money. • Stellar: Good tech, but not enough muscle. • HBAR/ALGO: Clean systems, tiny liquidity. • Private chains: Interoperability graveyard. It’s like asking a go-kart to pull a freight train. Not gonna happen. And here’s the Trump-style truth bomb: When building a new global money system, you pick the best tool. And the best tool is XRPL. It’s not close. This isn’t hype. This isn’t tribalism. This isn’t crypto Twitter cheering. (2/2, below) Treasury Department Ripple Interledger Foundation

“The Dawn of the Internet of Value” If only President Trump would address our nation and world with this style of message on the Eve of America’s 250th Anniversary! 🇺🇸 “Truth shall make us free — but verified truth shall keep us free.” My fellow Americans, Two hundred and fifty years ago, a small band of farmers, craftsmen, and dreamers took a stand so bold that even the heavens must have paused to listen. They pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to one great experiment - that a free people, guided by divine law and governed by truth, could prosper without kings or tyrants. Tonight, as we stand on the threshold of our nation’s 250th year, we face another such moment. The world once again waits to see whether America will lead not by fear or force, but by faith, reason, and stewardship of truth. A NEW ERA OF LIGHT Across our land and throughout the world, the invisible power once carried by copper wires now races through the ether as light itself. From that light - encoded in ones and zeros - we have created intelligence that learns, networks that speak, and machines that think. Some call it Artificial Intelligence. I call it Augmented Integrity - a tool meant not to replace the human soul, but to amplify our divine spark. And tonight, I am proud to announce that America has secured nearly half of the world’s advanced AI computing capacity - not as a weapon, but as a sacred trust. With this leadership comes responsibility. We shall never use this power to dominate, deceive, or destroy. We shall use it to illuminate, defend, and restore. GUARDIANS OF THE DIGITAL FRONTIER In partnership with our United States Space Force, we have established a secure and sovereign Financial Infrastructure of the Stars - satellites, cryptographic networks, and DLT-based ledgers that together will guard the world’s transactions, data, and truth itself. Think of it as the new Internet of Value - a system where every trade, every transfer, every measure of wealth is verifiable, honest, and immutable. No backroom deals. No hidden fees. No counterfeit authority. Just truth in motion - verified, recorded, and reconciled at the speed of light. This is what it means to be Guardians of the Ledger. Not masters over humanity, but stewards for humanity - ensuring that every person on Earth can transact freely, fairly, and faithfully under the same law of honest weights and measures. FROM CENTRALIZATION TO CIVILIZATION For more than a century, a web of opaque institutions controlled our money, our credit, and too often our destiny. The promise of “We the People” was dimmed by the quiet hand of unelected bankers and endless wars funded by debt. That era is over. In its place, we are building a globally neutral, asset-backed, decentralized system - one that honors property rights, privacy, and prosperity for all.

“The Dawn of the Internet of Value” If only President Trump would address our nation and world with this style of message on the Eve of America’s 250th Anniversary! 🇺🇸 “Truth shall make us free — but verified truth shall keep us free.” My fellow Americans, Two hundred and fifty years ago, a small band of farmers, craftsmen, and dreamers took a stand so bold that even the heavens must have paused to listen. They pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to one great experiment - that a free people, guided by divine law and governed by truth, could prosper without kings or tyrants. Tonight, as we stand on the threshold of our nation’s 250th year, we face another such moment. The world once again waits to see whether America will lead not by fear or force, but by faith, reason, and stewardship of truth. A NEW ERA OF LIGHT Across our land and throughout the world, the invisible power once carried by copper wires now races through the ether as light itself. From that light - encoded in ones and zeros - we have created intelligence that learns, networks that speak, and machines that think. Some call it Artificial Intelligence. I call it Augmented Integrity - a tool meant not to replace the human soul, but to amplify our divine spark. And tonight, I am proud to announce that America has secured nearly half of the world’s advanced AI computing capacity - not as a weapon, but as a sacred trust. With this leadership comes responsibility. We shall never use this power to dominate, deceive, or destroy. We shall use it to illuminate, defend, and restore. GUARDIANS OF THE DIGITAL FRONTIER In partnership with our United States Space Force, we have established a secure and sovereign Financial Infrastructure of the Stars - satellites, cryptographic networks, and DLT-based ledgers that together will guard the world’s transactions, data, and truth itself. Think of it as the new Internet of Value - a system where every trade, every transfer, every measure of wealth is verifiable, honest, and immutable. No backroom deals. No hidden fees. No counterfeit authority. Just truth in motion - verified, recorded, and reconciled at the speed of light. This is what it means to be Guardians of the Ledger. Not masters over humanity, but stewards for humanity - ensuring that every person on Earth can transact freely, fairly, and faithfully under the same law of honest weights and measures. FROM CENTRALIZATION TO CIVILIZATION For more than a century, a web of opaque institutions controlled our money, our credit, and too often our destiny. The promise of “We the People” was dimmed by the quiet hand of unelected bankers and endless wars funded by debt. That era is over. In its place, we are building a globally neutral, asset-backed, decentralized system - one that honors property rights, privacy, and prosperity for all. The dollar shall endure, not as an instrument of control, but as a beacon of trust, freely convertible, transparently issued, and digitally redeemable on a ledger open to all nations of goodwill. This is the true renewal of the American promise: not domination, but demonstration - that freedom, faith, and truth still light the world. WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU You may be asking, “What does this mean for me, my family, my community?” It means your savings will once again be backed by real value - not by debt, inflation, or illusion.

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.

BITCOIN'S "DIGITAL GOLD" NARRATIVE JUST FAILED ITS BIGGEST TEST While gold surged past $5,000 and silver hit record after record... Bitcoin dropped 6% in 2025. Silver is up 138%. Bitcoin? Down 30% from its October high. The "digital gold" thesis is collapsing. But here's what most people are getting wrong about WHY... My good friend Michael Howell at CrossBorder Capital/ GLIndexes nailed it: This isn't a "Great Debasement" trade. If it were, Bitcoin would be celebrating and bonds would be in freefall. Neither is happening. THE REAL DRIVER: CHINA The People's Bank of China has added $1.1T to Chinese money markets over the past year. And they'll likely do the same again this year. This aggressive monetary debasement is pushing Chinese residents into gold as an inflation hedge. You see, Chinese residents are big gold buyers but NOT big Bitcoin buyers. Why? The PBoC banned cryptocurrencies onshore. So when China prints money, it flows into gold, not crypto. And because the Yuan is stable against the dollar (capital controls and trade surplus), changes in the Yuan gold price transmit virtually 1:1 into the US dollar gold price. Bitcoin gets none of this flow. THE LIQUIDITY PROBLEM Michael's research shows something critical: Cryptocurrencies are the most liquidity-sensitive assets on the planet. And Global Liquidity is starting to slow. During the last liquidity downswing from late 2021 through 2022, Bitcoin fell from $65k to under $20k. In the next upswing, it gained over $100k. Now liquidity is peaking again. Bond term premia have stopped rising. Bitcoin is flatlining. The correlation between Global Liquidity and Bitcoin is ironclad. And the cycle is turning against crypto. THE OCTOBER CRASH EXPOSED EVERYTHING On October 10, 2025, Trump's 100% China tariff threat triggered the largest single-day liquidation in crypto history. $19B wiped out in 24 hours. 1.6M accounts blown up. Bitcoin plunged from $126,000 to below $105,000. Order book depth collapsed 98%. This was a stress test And Bitcoin failed. THE "HEDGE" THAT ISN'T During recent geopolitical tensions over Greenland: Gold rose 8.6%. Bitcoin dropped 6.6%. NYDIG found that Bitcoin behaves like an "ATM" during crises. Investors sell it first to raise cash. That's not a hedge. That's a liquidity source. Meanwhile, central banks are buying gold at record levels. They're not touching Bitcoin. THE MINING DEATH SPIRAL Hashprice - the key profitability metric - fell to $35-36 per PH/s/day in November. Below breakeven for most operations. 2025 was the "harshest margin environment of all time." ROI on new mining rigs? 1,000 days. In 2017? Same equipment paid for itself in 3-6 months. AI data centers are outbidding miners for cheap electricity. The squeeze is structural. WHERE THIS IS HEADING Paolo Ardoino, Tether's CEO, said it himself last week: "There are foreign countries buying a lot of gold, and we believe these countries will soon launch tokenized versions of gold as a competitive currency to the US dollar." Gold is being repositioned as foundational collateral beneath a fragmented digital monetary landscape. The BRICS are building gold-backed currencies to accelerate dedollarization. And ironically, the US will use gold-backed stablecoins to DEFEND the dollar's dominance. Gold, forever the bane of the dollar's existence, is being resurrected as its savior. A new monetary age is coming. And Bitcoin isn't part of it. MY TAKE My good friend Michael is right: Monetary debasement is a long-term investment strategy, not a short-term trade. But Bitcoin's cycle is no longer a simple 4 year halving cycle based on supply. It's a complex demand cycle driven by Global Liquidity. And that liquidity is peaking. When Chinese liquidity floods into gold while Bitcoin sits banned on the mainland... When Global Liquidity peaks and crypto flatlines... When the asset fails every stress test thrown at it... There's a serious problem.

Thinking about $ETH and the current state of crypto... there's two interesting facts that keep popping into my head... 1) Defi on Bitcoin never took off This really surprises me honestly because I always thought it would (I assumed via EVM or SVM L2's), but it hasn't, not even a little bit. 2) No other L1 has really staged a significant challenge to it either Like seriously... its pretty much just Ethereum now... is it not? Solana has had tremendous success obviously (and I like $SOL and own some), but its all sort of Solana-specific, if that makes sense... And beyond that, no other chain has even come close to matching Ethereum... At one point in 2021 there were other chains that got really popular for a time- first BSC, then Fantom, then Avalanche, etc- but really none of those were able to sustain the momentum. And today, if you want to do anything serious in crypto, you are going to build it on Ethereum (or on something else that is itself built on top of Ethereum). Steve Pack aka Steven Pack | RockSolid- from RockSolid Network- talks about this in the below clip. Its an older video but I was re-watching it and the segment struck me, as it really sums up what I think is the biggest bull case in Ethereum's favor... Which is that for all intents and purposes, Ethereum IS crypto at this point. Bitcoin has fully moved into its "store of value" era, which is awesome and which I support, but the fact is that there is nothing built on top of Bitcoin. And indeed only a tiny minority of $BTC holders actually hold it on chain. And I'm not even saying this is bad- it just is what it is. I actually disagree with those who lament the Bitcoin ETF's and the Saylor accumulation and institutional adoption and etc - I think these developments are a net positive and were always bound to happen. But Bitcoin is definitely not "crypto" at this point (the BTC maxi's were right about that in the end, interestingly). And then yeah, in terms of on-chain stuff, Solana has had a lot of success with memecoins and the sort of degen trencher world (and for a time I thought they were going to see breakout success via livestreaming on PumpFun, but then it pretty much died out)... But for any serious "crypto" stuff its going to be Ethereum. So yeah... if, like me, you are still bullish $ETH for the above reasons (or just a masochist, depending on how you want to look at it), and if you want to earn yield on it and support its decentralization, then I highly recommend RockSolid Network. I've been an advisor to them for awhile now- hence will use this partnership tag thing, although these are just my thoughts and me trying to support them in general, not a specific advertisement or something- and I really view them as the best of the best as far as Ethereum and its roll in crypto goes. They are hardcore idealists in every sense, and have tried to do everything right in building the project, abiding by the original OG Etherean ethos and the spirit of decentralization and permissionlessness and etc at every turn (they've also built their vaults without token incentives or points programs or hints of an airdrop or anything else, interestingly)... In this regard, right now there are three RockSolid vaults... a) the Rocksolid $rETH Vault b) the RockSolid AutoPlus Looped $ETH Vault, and c) the new RockSolid MegaETH USDm Vault (will link to this one below!) Highly recommend checking them out! And also highly recommend following the RockSolid Network account, as well as co-founders Ben Ward and Steven Pack | RockSolid 💪 And yeah... I really do believe that crypto will get its time in the sun... and that eventually all these assets will get the valuations they deserve... And at that point there's honestly nothing in crypto that I think should be valued as high as $ETH 🫡

People are going to be SHOCKED by how high gold and silver go from here. Not in five years. Not in two years. Starting NOW. Everyone knows the standard gold bull case. Central banks buying. Dollar debasement. Geopolitical chaos. Fiscal deficits spiraling. That's the soft, complacent version. The polite dinner party argument. I'm telling you something different: The really contrarian view right now isn't that gold pulls back. The really contrarian view is that it goes up FAR more than anyone imagines. Gold's total market cap sits around $30 trillion. Silver around $8 trillion. Global stocks? $125 trillion. Bonds? $300 trillion. Total financial assets? Over $500 trillion. All it takes is a small fraction of that $500 trillion saying: "I want out of this paper money charade." And most of that $30 trillion in gold isn't even tradable. It's locked in central bank vaults. The actual buyable float is a fraction of the total. A $500 trillion ocean of capital with a tiny escape hatch. Now look at what just happened: A whale in China deliberately shorted silver. Sloppy, loud, wanted everyone to know. Tried to slam the price and shake out the bulls. In 2022, a sloppy seller did the exact same thing in nickel. Publicly shorted it. Pushed it down for days. Then nickel TRIPLED. Markets love to punish that kind of arrogance. Meanwhile, the COMEX servers just overheated and shut down. Again. Same thing happened around Black Friday. And what followed? A moonshot in precious metals. The meme bros who piled into SLV last year got rinsed. And that's good. The market needed to shake out weak hands. But even after the rinse, gold found a bid. Every single dip got bought. Every selloff reversed. Strong markets don't let you in. Gold at $5,200 is trading bid because foreign central banks are structurally reallocating away from dollar reserves. Now let's talk about what's funding this rotation... Nvidia just reported $68B in quarterly revenue. Beat every estimate. But the stock DROPPED 5.5%. Wiped out $260B in market value in a single session. Morgan Stanley called it the largest, cleanest beat in semiconductor history. And Mr. Market said: "Don't care." That's not noise. That's the market telling you something profound: The hyperscalers are on pace to spend $700 billion in AI capex this year. That's going to consume virtually ALL of their cash from operations. Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Meta - locked in a game of capex chicken where nobody can stop spending because they're terrified of falling behind. Game theory guarantees this ends in a car crash. In a bull market, companies get rewarded for spending more. But once you cross the Rubicon, companies get rewarded for CUTTING. The Mag 7 saw earnings up 145%. The other 493 S&P companies? Up 4%. That's not a broad market. That's 7 companies selling picks and shovels while everyone else digs empty holes. And the money rotating OUT of those stocks is going into gold, silver, energy, and emerging markets. This isn't a blip. China has outperformed the S&P two years running. The equally weighted S&P is crushing the cap-weighted version in 2026. The next 5 - 10 years will look NOTHING like the last 5 - 10. Here's what I'd do: SELL ALL YOUR BONDS. If bonds are rallying, it means the wheels came off the economy. Either way, gold wins. Switch from SPY to RSP. Stop letting 7 overvalued companies dictate your portfolio. Own energy. Own precious metals. Own emerging markets. And above all: Own gold and silver. People say it's overbought. But you know what overbought really means? "I forgot to buy it and it went up without me." Every driver of gold (fiscal recklessness, geopolitical chaos, central bank buying, dollar debasement) is accelerating. Someone asked what would make me bearish on gold. Easy: an outbreak of common sense in fiscal and monetary policy. Wake me up when that happens. Until then? Gold. Don't trade it. Own it.

In a bull market, companies get rewarded for spending more. But once you cross the Rubicon, companies get rewarded for CUTTING. The Mag 7 saw earnings up 145%. The other 493 S&P companies? Up 4%. That's not a broad market. That's 7 companies selling picks and shovels while everyone else digs empty holes. And the money rotating OUT of those stocks is going into gold, silver, energy, and emerging markets. This isn't a blip. China has outperformed the S&P two years running. The equally weighted S&P is crushing the cap-weighted version in 2026. The next 5 - 10 years will look NOTHING like the last 5 - 10. Here's what I'd do: SELL ALL YOUR BONDS. If bonds are rallying, it means the wheels came off the economy. Either way, gold wins. Switch from SPY to RSP. Stop letting 7 overvalued companies dictate your portfolio. Own energy. Own precious metals. Own emerging markets. And above all: Own gold and silver. People say it's overbought. But you know what overbought really means? "I forgot to buy it and it went up without me." Every driver of gold (fiscal recklessness, geopolitical chaos, central bank buying, dollar debasement) is accelerating. Someone asked what would make me bearish on gold. Easy: an outbreak of common sense in fiscal and monetary policy. Wake me up when that happens. Until then? Gold. Don't trade it. Own it.

2025 reflected a year of coordinated execution. As products expanded and new markets came online, the underlying platform continued to strengthen in step. Here’s what we built in the past 365 days 👇 Launching New Products The Gemini Credit Card evolved with the release of the Bitcoin, Solana, XRP, and American Business versions of the card, allowing our US customers to earn rewards in crypto, and additional benefits for businesses.* We launched the Gemini Wallet, giving users a powerful self-custody wallet to have more control over their digital assets and manage their finances onchain. In the European Union (EU), Gemini launched Tokenized Stocks**, bringing the world’s leading equities onto the blockchain with zero trading fees. We added Gemini Perpetuals** in the EU, putting the power of crypto derivatives with up to 100x leverage in the hands of advanced traders, and have continued to expand the number of perpetual contracts available – opening up new trading opportunities in memecoins, DeFi, and beyond. In Europe, users gained the ability to stake*** their ETH and SOL, unlocking the potential to earn rewards of up to 6% APR**** on their holdings. In Singapore, we launched Index Perpetual Contracts and expanded the available cross collateral funding options. We also made funding faster for Singapore users by adding PayNow and FAST. We introduced USD rails to our UK institutional customers, giving them more flexibility in the ways they can trade. Institutional Leadership We strengthened our leadership in institutional custody, including custodying Empery Digital’s $500 million BTC placement and facilitated their bitcoin purchases and derivatives trades. We also introduced the ability to stake SOL from custody for our institutional partners. We worked with Glassnode to produce the Bitcoin Adoption, Volatility, and Market Cap report, showing that bitcoin treasuries now control nearly a third of Bitcoin’s total supply. Company Milestones & Regulation After an IPO on the Nasdaq stock exchange in September, Gemini became a publicly traded company. This year also marked a turning point for Gemini’s global ambitions. In October, Gemini launched in Australia and became AUSTRAC registered to bring industry-leading crypto tools to users down under. We also expanded further into the country by adding AUD banking rails for faster payments and deposits. We opened new offices around the world, including London, hosting an opening party with people from across the industry to celebrate. We also grew our customer service operations with a new office in Scottsdale, Arizona. In the EU, we obtained our Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) and Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II) licences, allowing us to bring our services to millions more across the region. Fostering a Global Community From DAS New York and Paris Blockchain Week, to TOKEN2049 in Singapore and the Australian Crypto Convention in Sydney, the Gemini team met local communities around the world. In March, we set a Guinness World Record for the largest aerial display of a currency symbol with a drone show at South by Southwest in Texas. In May, we teamed up with MARA Holdings to mine the Bitcoin “pizza block”, a tribute to the first real-world purchase using bitcoin. At BTC Vegas, we gave orange Tesla Cybertrucks to two lucky winners, while at BTC Amsterdam, we awarded a custom Bitcoin Apex Flare 4 Bike to a new customer. We left our mark on Amsterdam too, by biking around the city in the shape of a Bitcoin “₿” and decking out the city’s trams with our signature colors. The Gemini team also headed to Real Bedford football club to give out free pizza and merch to fans at the final match of the season, and celebrated the team’s promotion to Premier Division Central. Looking to the Future As we look to 2026, our focus has never been clearer. We plan to build on the successes of this year and continue offering secure and reliable access to digital assets, by pushing further with new product launches, deepened institutional ties, and an expanded presence in the EU and APAC. We’re proud of what we built and scaled in 2025 – and this was just the beginning.
