🚨Look what I found on $HBAR that needs attention right now. 👇 The public RWA data shows $64.5M in tokenized real estate on Hedera. RedSwan’s own numbers? OVER $5 BILLION The gap between what trackers display and what's actually on the network is enormous. And almost nobody is talking about it. RedSwan CRE is a Houston-based commercial real estate tokenization platform. Hedera's official website confirms they've tokenized over $5 billion worth of institutional-grade properties on the network. With plans to reach $25 billion within 36 months. Their CEO Edward Nwokedi is a former executive director at Cushman & Wakefield, one of the largest real estate firms in the world. 13,000+ investors active on the platform. Three funds spanning the U.S., Africa, and the Gulf states. In 2023 they secured a $4 billion portfolio from a Dubai-based client. 36 mixed-use properties across the Middle East. Appraised by Cushman & Wakefield. Tokenized on their Hedera-powered platform. So why doesn't this show on RWA dashboards? Because tokenized private securities don't trade on public markets. These are regulated security token offerings held by verified investors. The dashboards track publicly visible on-chain assets. Private placement real estate stays off those trackers while still living on the network. That means HBAR's real tokenization footprint is dramatically larger than any public dashboard suggests. RedSwan is also helping build Hedera's Asset Tokenization Studio for compliant securities issuance. The market prices what it can see. The institutions deploy what it can't. That gap is the opportunity. When the visible data says $64.5M and the verified reality says $5B+, the market is pricing $HBAR off incomplete information. Massive blind spots create massive opportunities.

🔊 SOUND ON! Near-zero fees, lightning fast, asset-backed currency factory for all? Impossible. Think again: Reserve has landed on Base Build 🔵 H/t to jesse.base.eth and the Base ecosystem! What is Reserve Protocol? Reserve is a free, permissionless platform on Ethereum and now Base to build, deploy and govern asset-backed currencies referred to as “RTokens.” RTokens are always 1:1 asset-backed, allowing for permissionless minting and redeeming on-chain by users without the need for any middlemen. Each RToken can have an entirely different governance system and is governed separately by ecosystem stakers. The protocol completed its 5th audit with Code4rena and reached the “all-clear” in Feb 2023. It currently has an industry-leading $5M bug bounty on Immunefi. What has Reserve achieved so far? Reserve has made leaps since the all-clear seven months ago. Six RTokens have already been deployed by the community. The protocol has grown to $30M TVL and these RTokens have had a cumulative volume of over $340 million, across onchain and offchain uses. ~6% of the circulating RSR supply has been staked on RTokens to participate in governance, earn a share of yield and provide overcollateralization. The protocol has also forged deep relationships in the Curve Finance, Convex Finance and Stake DAO governance ecosystems. The flagship Reserve safety mechanism - staker overcollateralization - was stress tested during the Mar 2023 run on SVB and the subsequent depegging of several stablecoins. Electronic Dollar (eUSD), the first RToken, autonomously recapitalized without a regulator backstop and before the banks reopened. The Reserve launch brings self-healing currency to Base. Why deploy to Base? DeFi should expand far beyond a few thousand power users. Base’s lower transaction fees will enable people who are interested in using yield bearing stablecoins to actually use them without having all benefits wiped out by gas costs. We want to see millions of RToken users on Base! Ever had a great idea for a stablecoin? How about a flatcoin or an index? Reserve is joining Base so creative protocols and entrepreneurs may let their economic imagination run wild on this lightning fast, near-zero fee network. Why deploy now? We believe that Base can be a leading L2 network in terms of accessibility and TVL. There is significant opportunity for the Reserve Protocol to grow alongside the Base network. This could accelerate Reserve’s mission to increase adoption and access to sustainable, inflation proof, stable currency for everyone. Base-ready collateral plugins for Aave Protocol, Stargate, Coinbase 🛡️ staked ETH, as well as naked USDC and DAI are live now with Compound Labs coming soon. Ready to get started? Check the links in the tweet below.

$Today, we unlock a new era for onchain finance: one where treasuries are self-custodied, secure—and earning yield by default. For years, Safe.eth multisigs have been the operating system for DAOs, crypto companies and high-net-worth individuals, safeguarding well over $100B. Yet much of that capital – especially stablecoins – has stayed idle because moving funds to external DeFi apps compromises the very security and governance model multisigs were built to protect. Kiln 🧱🔥's mission is to democratize value creation in digital assets – embedding productive staking and lending directly into the tools treasury teams already use, rather than forcing them through new approvals, bridges and dashboards. That vision is now live in Safe {Wallet}. 🔹 One multisig transaction routes idle wETH, wstETH, USDC, USDT or WBTC into Morpho Labs Earn, powered by Kiln DeFi. 🔹 The Safe receives non-transferable vault-share tokens, so signer policies and audit trails remain intact. 🔹 Yield, Steakhouse Financial risk scores and fees appear beside existing balances – no extra API work required. Behind the scenes, Morpho Labs vaults keep capital productive while preserving instant liquidity, and Kiln delivers the end-to-end infrastructure, audits, and SOC 2 Type II controls institutions expect. This is the next frontier of crypto finance: where security and yield are no longer at odds. Where onchain treasuries can finally operate with the sophistication and confidence they deserve. I’m grateful to the teams at Safe.eth, Morpho Labs and Steakhouse Financial for sharing this product philosophy and executing on it so seamlessly. Excited wait to see what DAOs, startups and treasurers build on this new foundation. To anyone still doubting: the future of finance is being written in Europe—and these four teams are holding the pen 🇪🇺 Try it now 👇 Massive thanks to the ones involved lukasschor.eth, Thibaut 🍉Multis, Julian Grigo, Christoph Simmchen, Christoph Sonn, Florent - gecko arc, Paul Frambot 🦋, @MerlinEgalit, T, SebVentures, adcv_ & and everyone at Kiln who brought this to life (you know who you are)$

From Morgan Stanley to Ripple to Hedera: Building the Shopify of Institutional Asset Tokenization The world is moving toward a system where everyone, not just millionaires, can access high-quality real world assets. In our conversation with Anil, the founder of cSigma Finance, he explained how global investors and real businesses are being left out of traditional financial systems, and why DLT such as Hedera finally makes this possible. Anil spent nearly two decades in financial services, from Morgan Stanley to building institutional grade credit products Ripple, before launching cSigma in 2023. Today his team is building the full infrastructure layer for asset originators to bring institutional grade financial assets onchain. Here are the key insights straight from the interview: • Investors outside financial centers struggle to access high quality assets. • Even in developed countries, most people are shut out of institutional opportunities. • Mid-market businesses often pay extremely high APR because traditional lenders cannot efficiently serve smaller ticket credit. • cSigma connects these businesses directly with global stablecoin liquidity using a compliant, blockchain native process. • More than 80 million dollars in fully collateralized, legally enforceable real world assets have already been originated. • Higher yields are possible without speculative token incentives. • Asset originators are reducing their cost of capital by 20 to 30 percent. • cSigma built a complete stack: AI credit analysis, legal and compliance rails, risk monitoring, tokenization standards, and real settlement workflows. • Permissioned institutional capital and permissionless global liquidity now interact through one architecture designed for regulation and scale. Anil’s thoughts on 2026 were clear: Anyone with even 1000 dollars should be able to build a diversified portfolio of institutional grade assets. Tokenization makes this possible. Hedera makes this possible. This is what democratizing finance actually looks like. Podcast supported by HashPack Wallet Hedera Hashgraph Hedera Foundation

CLARITY Act Intel 🚨 Don't let a 76-Day Political Fight SHAKE you out of a 250-YEAR FINANCIAL SHIFT $XRP, $XLM, $HBAR, and other American-made digital asset investors, listen closely to Congressman Bryan Steil, Chair of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Digital Assets. This is the part of the CLARITY Act conversation I think people are missing. Everyone is staring at one vote. Bryan Steil is talking about the financial system that is being built underneath it. That is a completely different time horizon. The headlines right now are naturally focused on whether CLARITY can move through the Senate. September 15 matters. The Senate procedural vote matters. The political negotiations matter. But Steil’s bigger argument is that people are making a mistake if they assume: “If Washington struggles with CLARITY today, blockchain finance somehow stops tomorrow.” It does not. That is what caught me. He is looking at this as a technology transition, not a weekly trading narrative. The political fight is temporary. The infrastructure being built is not. And that is exactly why I keep coming back to $XRP, $XLM and $HBAR. Not because Congress created some official “Made in America” basket. It did not. The stronger fact is that all three already have deep U.S. roots, all three are being built around actual financial infrastructure, and all three are already explicitly named in the current U.S. digital-commodity framework. That changes how I look at this entire moment. For years the question around crypto in America was: Will regulators even allow this industry to exist? Now the conversation is turning into: How do we bring this technology into the financial system? That is a massive difference. And Steil’s word for it is perfect: plumbing. People hear “financial plumbing” and think it sounds boring. I hear it and think: That is where the real money eventually moves. Clearing is plumbing. Settlement is plumbing. Collateral is plumbing. Liquidity is plumbing. Custody is plumbing. Bank deposits are plumbing. Tokenization is plumbing. FX is plumbing. Prime brokerage is plumbing. The consumer sees the payment. The institution sees the infrastructure underneath. And that is exactly where these networks are starting to show up. Take $XRP. Ripple in 2026 is not simply trying to convince a bank to send one payment using XRP. Look at the stack being assembled: payments, RLUSD, custody, treasury, prime brokerage, liquidity, tokenization, credit. That is financial infrastructure. Ripple Prime clears more than $3 trillion annually across markets and serves 300+ institutional customers. That is not a retail crypto app. That is institutional machinery. Ripple Prime touches digital assets, FX, fixed-income repo, exchange-traded derivatives and OTC swaps. Then Ripple raised $275 million in investment-grade senior notes to expand its U.S. operation. That tells me Ripple is building for the part of finance institutions actually depend on. And XRP is not sitting outside that strategy. Ripple’s institutional roadmap puts XRP across payments, liquidity and credit markets. That bridge-liquidity role is what I keep coming back to. Because imagine where finance is heading. -RLUSD. -Other dollar stablecoins. -Euro stablecoins. -Peso stablecoins. -Tokenized bank deposits. -Tokenized funds. -Government debt. -Private credit. Different digital forms of money. More assets do not remove the liquidity problem. They multiply it. Someone still has to connect all those pools of value. XRPL can route between tokenized assets. And when XRP provides the better liquidity path, XRP can become the intermediary. Think about the difference between that and retail speculation. A company does not need to wake up and say: “We are bullish on XRP today.” Its software can simply determine: USD token → XRP → MXN token is the better route. The company receives what it wants. The recipient receives what they want. XRP was used because the infrastructure chose it. That is a much more powerful long-term thesis to me. Then you have RLUSD, with approximately $2.396 billion circulating against about $2.518 billion in reserves in the context you provided. Stable digital dollars on one side. Native bridge liquidity through XRP on the other. That is not XRP being replaced. That is the XRP ecosystem becoming more complete. Now move to $XLM. Stellar may be the easiest example of what Steil means by invisible plumbing. The average person does not care which network their bank is using. They care that the money gets there. The institution cares that the system is fast, compliant and integrated with existing operations. And that is already happening. U.S. Bank completed a cross-border pilot using its own USBDC stablecoin on Stellar between North America and Europe. Read that again. A U.S. bank. Its own dollar-backed digital money. Moving across Stellar. And it was not separated from the bank’s existing infrastructure. The pilot connected into finance, risk, compliance and operations. It tested minting. -Payment. -Redemption. -Freezing. -Clawback. Then U.S. Bank and the Stellar Development Foundation started evaluating liquidity management, collateral mobility and cross-border treasury applications. That is the financial plumbing Steil is talking about. It is already being installed. And if Washington needs longer to finish a bill, U.S. Bank does not suddenly forget what it just tested. The technology does not disappear. The institutional learning does not disappear. The infrastructure work does not disappear. Then add DTCC. DTCC oversees more than $114 trillion across U.S. capital markets under the figures in the context. DTC’s Tokenization Service plans to connect eligible DTC-custodied assets with Stellar beginning in the first half of 2027. That means the future can look much less like: “crypto replaces Wall Street” and much more like: Wall Street starts using blockchain underneath parts of its existing machinery. That distinction matters enormously. Treasuries do not need to stop being Treasuries. Funds do not need to stop being funds. Banks do not need to stop being banks. The rails can change underneath them. And XLM remains native to Stellar. Transaction fees use XLM. Account reserves use XLM. Ledger state uses XLM. Smart-contract resources use XLM. The user may never see any of that. They see dollars. A fund. A transfer. A bank account. The network sees Stellar. That is what real infrastructure adoption looks like. Then look at $HBAR. Hedera’s story is different again, but it fits Steil’s argument almost perfectly. Wyoming’s FRNT stable token is live on Hedera. A U.S. state is already using public blockchain infrastructure for digital money. That does not vanish because Congress has a difficult week. Then you have Archax, putting institutional assets on Hedera. Real-time streaming cash flows for tokenized securities. USDC distributions directly to investor wallets. More than 100 tokenized assets and $300M+ in tokenized value in the Hedera case study cited in the context. Then RedSwan. More than $5 billion in tokenized commercial real estate according to Hedera’s case study. And RedSwan helped develop Hedera’s Asset Tokenization Studio. Again, this is not a promise that one day Hedera may find a real-world use case. The infrastructure is already serving government digital money, tokenized securities, real estate and institutional settlement. Then Hedera built the software around it. Stablecoin Studio for regulated digital money. Asset Tokenization Studio for compliant securities. HashSphere for institutions that need private environments while maintaining connectivity toward the broader Hedera ecosystem. And HBAR has a direct role underneath the public network. Every public Hedera service uses HBAR-denominated fees. HBAR also helps secure consensus through proof of stake. So the HBAR thesis is not: “$5B of property means $5B of HBAR gets bought.” The better thesis is: more assets, more issuers, more transfers, more settlement, more compliance operations, more data, more financial activity, more network usage, with HBAR underneath the public network. That is infrastructure. Now put all three together. $XRP. $XLM. $HBAR. Different architectures. Different institutions. Different strengths. But the direction overlaps. Payments. Stablecoins. Tokenized assets. Bank money. FX. Settlement. Institutional liquidity. And all three are already named as digital commodities under the current U.S. framework. That is why I refuse to think about this market only through the lens of one CLARITY vote. September 15 can absolutely matter to market sentiment. But Steil is giving investors a much more valuable way to think. Zoom out. America is deciding whether it wants to lead the technology transition under clear rules. It is not deciding whether the technology gets invented. That horse has already left the barn. The White House has already directed regulators toward integrating digital assets and innovative technology into traditional financial services and payments. Banks are already experimenting. Tokenized securities already exist. Government digital money already exists. Institutional prime brokerage already exists. Stablecoins are already measured in billions. Real estate is already being tokenized. DTCC is already preparing blockchain connectivity. That is why I think the biggest mistake people can make here is confusing: political delay with technological reversal. They are not the same thing. And this is where I think people holding $XRP, $XLM and $HBAR have to know exactly what they own. You are not simply betting on the Senate liking crypto next week. You are looking at networks and ecosystems already being positioned inside a financial system that is becoming increasingly digital. If CLARITY moves quickly, that can accelerate the transition. If Washington takes longer, the infrastructure does not go back into the box. It keeps developing. That is essentially Steil’s point. This is bigger than one election. Bigger than one bill. Bigger than one market candle. The United States is looking at what its financial system could become over the next generation. Bryan Steil literally framed this around 250 years of American financial innovation. That is the time horizon I want to remember when the timeline gets noisy. Because while everyone argues about the next few days: Ripple is building institutional liquidity infrastructure. Stellar is connecting bank money and traditional securities. Hedera is connecting government digital money and regulated tokenized assets. And the federal government already recognizes XRP, XLM and HBAR as digital commodities. That is why my long-term conviction does not disappear because Washington gets messy. The political fight is temporary. The financial rails are already being laid. If those rails eventually carry the next generation of global money, I want exposure to the assets sitting underneath them before that future becomes obvious to everyone. The financial rails are being rebuilt right in front of us. Who else sees it?

The institution sees the infrastructure underneath. And that is exactly where these networks are starting to show up. Take $XRP. Ripple in 2026 is not simply trying to convince a bank to send one payment using XRP. Look at the stack being assembled: payments, RLUSD, custody, treasury, prime brokerage, liquidity, tokenization, credit. That is financial infrastructure. Ripple Prime clears more than $3 trillion annually across markets and serves 300+ institutional customers. That is not a retail crypto app. That is institutional machinery. Ripple Prime touches digital assets, FX, fixed-income repo, exchange-traded derivatives and OTC swaps. Then Ripple raised $275 million in investment-grade senior notes to expand its U.S. operation. That tells me Ripple is building for the part of finance institutions actually depend on. And XRP is not sitting outside that strategy. Ripple’s institutional roadmap puts XRP across payments, liquidity and credit markets. That bridge-liquidity role is what I keep coming back to. Because imagine where finance is heading. -RLUSD. -Other dollar stablecoins. -Euro stablecoins. -Peso stablecoins. -Tokenized bank deposits. -Tokenized funds. -Government debt. -Private credit. Different digital forms of money. More assets do not remove the liquidity problem. They multiply it. Someone still has to connect all those pools of value. XRPL can route between tokenized assets. And when XRP provides the better liquidity path, XRP can become the intermediary. Think about the difference between that and retail speculation. A company does not need to wake up and say: “We are bullish on XRP today.” Its software can simply determine: USD token → XRP → MXN token is the better route. The company receives what it wants. The recipient receives what they want. XRP was used because the infrastructure chose it. That is a much more powerful long-term thesis to me. Then you have RLUSD, with approximately $2.396 billion circulating against about $2.518 billion in reserves in the context you provided. Stable digital dollars on one side. Native bridge liquidity through XRP on the other. That is not XRP being replaced. That is the XRP ecosystem becoming more complete. Now move to $XLM. Stellar may be the easiest example of what Steil means by invisible plumbing. The average person does not care which network their bank is using. They care that the money gets there. The institution cares that the system is fast, compliant and integrated with existing operations. And that is already happening. U.S. Bank completed a cross-border pilot using its own USBDC stablecoin on Stellar between North America and Europe. Read that again. A U.S. bank. Its own dollar-backed digital money. Moving across Stellar. And it was not separated from the bank’s existing infrastructure. The pilot connected into finance, risk, compliance and operations. It tested minting. -Payment. -Redemption. -Freezing. -Clawback. Then U.S. Bank and the Stellar Development Foundation started evaluating liquidity management, collateral mobility and cross-border treasury applications. That is the financial plumbing Steil is talking about. It is already being installed. And if Washington needs longer to finish a bill, U.S. Bank does not suddenly forget what it just tested. The technology does not disappear. The institutional learning does not disappear. The infrastructure work does not disappear. Then add DTCC. DTCC oversees more than $114 trillion across U.S. capital markets under the figures in the context. DTC’s Tokenization Service plans to connect eligible DTC-custodied assets with Stellar beginning in the first half of 2027. That means the future can look much less like: “crypto replaces Wall Street” and much more like: Wall Street starts using blockchain underneath parts of its existing machinery. That distinction matters enormously. Treasuries do not need to stop being Treasuries. Funds do not need to stop being funds. Banks do not need to stop being banks. The rails can change underneath them. And XLM remains native to Stellar. Transaction fees use XLM. Account reserves use XLM. Ledger state uses XLM. Smart-contract resources use XLM. The user may never see any of that. They see dollars. A fund. A transfer. A bank account. The network sees Stellar. That is what real infrastructure adoption looks like. Then look at $HBAR. Hedera’s story is different again, but it fits Steil’s argument almost perfectly. Wyoming’s FRNT stable token is live on Hedera. A U.S. state is already using public blockchain infrastructure for digital money. That does not vanish because Congress has a difficult week. Then you have Archax, putting institutional assets on Hedera. Real-time streaming cash flows for tokenized securities. USDC distributions directly to investor wallets. More than 100 tokenized assets and $300M+ in tokenized value in the Hedera case study cited in the context. Then RedSwan. More than $5 billion in tokenized commercial real estate according to Hedera’s case study. And RedSwan helped develop Hedera’s Asset Tokenization Studio. Again, this is not a promise that one day Hedera may find a real-world use case. The infrastructure is already serving government digital money, tokenized securities, real estate and institutional settlement. Then Hedera built the software around it. Stablecoin Studio for regulated digital money. Asset Tokenization Studio for compliant securities. HashSphere for institutions that need private environments while maintaining connectivity toward the broader Hedera ecosystem. And HBAR has a direct role underneath the public network. Every public Hedera service uses HBAR-denominated fees. HBAR also helps secure consensus through proof of stake. So the HBAR thesis is not: “$5B of property means $5B of HBAR gets bought.” The better thesis is: more assets, more issuers, more transfers, more settlement, more compliance operations, more data, more financial activity, more network usage, with HBAR underneath the public network. That is infrastructure. Now put all three together. $XRP. $XLM. $HBAR. Different architectures. Different institutions. Different strengths. But the direction overlaps. Payments. Stablecoins. Tokenized assets. Bank money. FX. Settlement. Institutional liquidity. And all three are already named as digital commodities under the current U.S. framework. That is why I refuse to think about this market only through the lens of one CLARITY vote. September 15 can absolutely matter to market sentiment. But Steil is giving investors a much more valuable way to think. Zoom out. America is deciding whether it wants to lead the technology transition under clear rules. It is not deciding whether the technology gets invented. That horse has already left the barn. The White House has already directed regulators toward integrating digital assets and innovative technology into traditional financial services and payments. Banks are already experimenting. Tokenized securities already exist. Government digital money already exists. Institutional prime brokerage already exists. Stablecoins are already measured in billions. Real estate is already being tokenized. DTCC is already preparing blockchain connectivity. That is why I think the biggest mistake people can make here is confusing: political delay with technological reversal. They are not the same thing. And this is where I think people holding $XRP, $XLM and $HBAR have to know exactly what they own. You are not simply betting on the Senate liking crypto next week. You are looking at networks and ecosystems already being positioned inside a financial system that is becoming increasingly digital. If CLARITY moves quickly, that can accelerate the transition. If Washington takes longer, the infrastructure does not go back into the box. It keeps developing. That is essentially Steil’s point. This is bigger than one election. Bigger than one bill. Bigger than one market candle. The United States is looking at what its financial system could become over the next generation. Bryan Steil literally framed this around 250 years of American financial innovation. That is the time horizon I want to remember when the timeline gets noisy. Because while everyone argues about the next few days: Ripple is building institutional liquidity infrastructure. Stellar is connecting bank money and traditional securities. Hedera is connecting government digital money and regulated tokenized assets. And the federal government already recognizes XRP, XLM and HBAR as digital commodities. That is why my long-term conviction does not disappear because Washington gets messy. The political fight is temporary. The financial rails are already being laid. If those rails eventually carry the next generation of global money, I want exposure to the assets sitting underneath them before that future becomes obvious to everyone. The financial rails are being rebuilt right in front of us. Who else sees it?

🚨🚨🚨If you hold $XRP, stellar:native, hedera-hashgraph:native or other U.S.-rooted digital assets, you do NOT want to miss this CLARITY Act update. Washington just put an actual clock on crypto market structure. Patrick Witt, the Executive Director of the Presidential Council of Advisors for Digital Assets, made it clear in his latest Semafor interview that the current political window is unusually important. His message was simple: years of work have already gone into this bill, the gap between both parties has narrowed, and once the November midterms arrive, passing something this large becomes much harder. Then came the date that everyone holding these assets should know: September 15, 2026 That is when the Senate cloture motion on H.R. 3633, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, ripens. This is not final passage. It is the procedural vote needed to move the legislation forward in the Senate. But if that hurdle clears, Washington moves into the next stage of the bill instead of leaving market structure stuck in political limbo. And this is why I think $XRP, stellar:native and hedera-hashgraph:native deserve a completely different conversation around this vote. Because Washington has already told us something huge about all three. Back on March 17, 2026, the SEC and CFTC explicitly named XRP, Stellar XLM and Hedera HBAR as examples of digital commodities. Read that carefully. The argument is no longer starting from: “Will Washington eventually decide what these assets are?” The agencies have already placed them in the digital-commodity category. The missing piece is turning that regulatory direction into a durable federal market structure covering the actual financial system around them. That is what CLARITY is trying to do. And this bill is much further along than people realize. The House already passed CLARITY on July 17, 2025 by 294–134, with 78 Democrats voting for it. Then the Senate Banking Committee advanced its version on May 14, 2026 by 15–9. Senator Cynthia Lummis released the combined Banking and Agriculture Committee text on July 22. That created the current 616-page Senate substitute. So we have already moved through House passage, committee work, a merged Senate framework and now into a Senate floor procedural vote. Patrick Witt calling this the moment to act makes much more sense when you see how far the legislation has already travelled. And I think people are underestimating what the legislation actually deals with. This is not a bill that simply stamps “commodity” onto a few cryptocurrencies and walks away. It lays out federal rules around digital-commodity exchanges, brokers, dealers, qualified custody, bank activity, distributed-ledger recordkeeping, tokenized securities, self-custody, software developers, portfolio margining and regulatory sandboxes. That matters far more to me than another headline saying Washington is “crypto friendly.” Because the real institutional bottleneck has always been the operating questions. 👉Who regulates the spot market? 👉What can a bank hold? 👉What can a broker trade? 👉How does custody work? 👉Can a bank use a public distributed ledger? 👉How should tokenized securities operate? Can existing financial institutions plug digital commodities into products they already offer? CLARITY is designed to put actual federal structure around those questions. And one provision jumps off the page when you compare it with what Ripple, Stellar and Hedera have spent years building. The Senate framework says a national bank may use digital assets or distributed-ledger systems for activities, products and services it is otherwise legally authorized to provide. That sentence could have enormous consequences. Think about the difference between a bank asking: “Are we even allowed to touch this technology?” and a bank asking: “Which network should we use?” That is a massive shift in the commercial conversation. And $XRP, stellar:native and hedera-hashgraph:native already have ecosystems aimed directly at the second question. That is what gets me bullish. The law would not need to invent their institutional use cases. Those use cases are already being built. Start with $XRP. No large U.S.-associated crypto asset has carried a regulatory scar quite like XRP. Ripple was sued by the SEC in 2020. Years of uncertainty followed. Then the district court concluded that XRP itself was not inherently a security, Ripple's programmatic XRP sales were not securities transactions, and certain direct institutional sales were treated differently. The litigation reached a final judgment in 2024. Ripple and the SEC dismissed their appeals in August 2025. Then March 2026 arrives and XRP appears directly in the SEC/CFTC digital-commodity interpretation. Now add the latest Senate language. Section 10105 addresses digital-asset transactions that already received a non-appealable final federal court judgment finding that the transaction was not an offer, sale or distribution of a security. That provision has obvious relevance to XRP's history. So XRP is entering this CLARITY debate with something very few assets possess: a completed federal court record, an agency digital-commodity classification, and proposed legislation that specifically acknowledges the significance of prior final court judgments. That changes the entire framing around XRP. For years, XRP had to carry the question of regulatory survival. The next chapter can increasingly become about scale. How much regulated liquidity can XRP attract? How deeply can it enter payments? How much institutional FX can use it? How much tokenized finance can XRPL support? How much liquidity can Ripple Prime bring into the broader ecosystem? Those are much better questions for holders than endlessly debating whether XRP itself should exist inside U.S. markets. And Ripple has not been sitting still waiting for Congress. Its 2026 institutional strategy describes XRP utility across payments, liquidity and credit. Ripple Prime now clears more than $3 trillion annually across markets for 300+ institutional customers. Its U.S. prime-brokerage infrastructure supports XRP and RLUSD alongside broader institutional trading activity. Ripple Prime also raised $275 million in investment-grade senior notes to expand its U.S. business. Ripple has RLUSD. 👉It has payments. 👉It has custody. 👉It has tokenization infrastructure. 👉It has treasury infrastructure. 👉It has institutional liquidity infrastructure. 👉It has onchain credit development. That is why the timing is so important. Imagine if Ripple had to begin building all of that after regulatory clarity arrived. It would still be years away from institutional scale. Instead, much of the machinery already exists before Congress finishes writing the rules. That is a fundamentally stronger setup. Then there is stellar:native. Stellar has a different regulatory story, but the fit with CLARITY may be just as powerful. The Stellar Development Foundation, led by Denelle Dixon, has been asking Washington for clear digital-commodity rules for years. Dixon previously described regulatory clarity before the Senate Agriculture Committee as existential to building responsibly and bringing established institutions into blockchain. Fast-forward to September 2026. The SEC/CFTC explicitly lists XLM as a digital commodity. Stellar has roughly $4 billion of real-world assets on the network according to SDF's current update. Stablecoin transfer volume reached $11.4 billion in Q2, up 72% quarter over quarter. And then U.S. Bank did something that perfectly explains why CLARITY matters. On September 9, U.S. Bank completed its first pilot transaction using USBDC, its proprietary dollar-backed stablecoin, on Stellar. The bank moved that digital money between its own entities in North America and Europe. This wasn't separated from normal bank infrastructure. The transaction remained connected to U.S. Bank's existing finance, risk, compliance and operational systems. The pilot tested minting, payment, redemption, freezing and clawback. And U.S. Bank and SDF are already evaluating additional areas including liquidity management, collateral mobility and cross-border treasury operations. That is one of the cleanest examples I can think of. A major American bank is already testing proprietary bank money on Stellar. At the same time, Congress is debating legislation saying national banks can use digital assets and distributed ledgers for financial activities they are otherwise permitted to perform. The technology is already there. The bank is already testing it. The legislation is trying to create a clearer statutory environment around the activity. That is why I don't view CLARITY as the beginning of Stellar's institutional thesis. It could become the legal framework catching up to something that is already happening. Then there is DTCC. DTC's Tokenization Service plans to connect tokenized DTC-custodied assets to Stellar in the first half of 2027. The asset classes being evaluated include U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds, major-index ETFs and Russell 1000 securities. CLARITY separately addresses how tokenized securities can operate while remaining subject to securities law. Put those two developments together and the significance becomes obvious. Stellar's institutional story is increasingly about bank money on one side and tokenized capital markets on the other. XLM sits natively underneath that network through fees, reserves and network liquidity. That is exactly the kind of environment that becomes more valuable when financial institutions have a durable rulebook. Then look at hedera-hashgraph:native. This connection gets even more specific. Patrick Witt himself participated at HederaCon 2026 in the closing fireside chat titled “Policy Meets Innovation: Clarity over Chaos.” He was literally discussing what CLARITY could mean for institutional adoption and U.S. digital assets inside the Hedera ecosystem. Then consider what Hedera already has in place. HBAR was explicitly listed by the SEC/CFTC as a digital commodity. The Canary HBAR ETF, HBR, trades on Nasdaq and directly holds HBAR. Its structure includes BitGo Bank & Trust and Archax as HBAR custodians and U.S. Bank as cash custodian. So regulated public-market access already exists. Then you have the enterprise side. Lloyds Banking Group, Aberdeen Investments and Archax have already executed FX trades using tokenized money-market funds and UK gilts on Hedera as collateral. Aberdeen manages around £500 billion. Archax has also launched real-time streaming cash flows for tokenized securities on Hedera using USDC. Wyoming's FRNT, described in the context as the first U.S. state-issued stable token, is live on Hedera. Hedera Stablecoin Studio is built around banks, tokenized deposits, regulated stablecoins and financial institutions. Again, CLARITY does not need to create Hedera's institutional market. Hedera already has banks, regulated tokenization, stablecoin infrastructure, exchange-traded HBAR access and public-sector digital money activity around the network. The proposed federal framework could make it easier for more institutions to engage with that infrastructure from inside established banking and capital-market rules. That is why these three assets feel so different from the average altcoin around this vote. All three are already standing inside the categories Washington is trying to formalize. XRP is sitting inside payments, liquidity, prime brokerage and tokenized finance. XLM is sitting inside stablecoins, bank money, tokenized securities and cross-border settlement. HBAR is sitting inside regulated tokenization, bank-facing DLT infrastructure, digital cash and collateral markets. And all three are already named by federal regulators as digital commodities. That combination is incredibly important. People call XRP, XLM and HBAR “Made in America” coins all the time. That phrase is not a legal CLARITY category. Congress is not giving an asset special treatment because it has American roots. The stronger story is far better anyway. Ripple was founded in the U.S. The Stellar Development Foundation is a Delaware nonprofit. The Hedera Council is a Delaware LLC. And their native assets already sit inside the same federal digital-commodity interpretation. So if the market starts searching for an informal American digital-infrastructure basket after CLARITY advances, I can understand exactly why these names would come up. Not because of a slogan. Because their infrastructure already overlaps with the financial activities being addressed by the legislation. And there is another layer here that I think crypto investors often miss. Regulatory clarity doesn't only affect traders. It affects compliance departments. 👉Bank boards. 👉Risk committees. 👉Custodians. 👉Broker-dealers. 👉ETF issuers. 👉Prime brokers. 👉Asset managers. 👉Market makers. 👉Corporate treasurers. Those institutions don't need a viral tweet to decide where billions of dollars can go. They need legal language their lawyers can map against their operations. That is where legislation can change behavior. An agency interpretation can be important. A congressional statute can become much harder to reverse. That distinction is exactly why CLARITY can matter even though XRP, XLM and HBAR already have the digital-commodity designation today. March gave them classification. CLARITY can help build the permanent market around that classification. And the wider Trump administration policy direction already lines up with it. The May 19 executive order says federal regulation should allow digital assets and innovative technology to integrate into traditional financial services and payment systems. The White House digital-assets report supports clearer CFTC authority over spot non-security digital assets, custody, trading, DeFi, tokenization, stablecoins and blockchain activity by banks. The policy path is beginning to look coherent: GENIUS Act for stablecoins. SEC/CFTC interpretation for asset taxonomy. The banking executive order for integration into traditional finance. CLARITY for the broader market structure. That is a very different Washington than the one XRP holders were dealing with several years ago. And Patrick Witt is now saying there is a political window to finish the job. He would not attach himself to Senator Cynthia Lummis' specific 2030 warning. But his reasoning was clear. The November midterms can change congressional math. Lame-duck periods are difficult. Major legislation gets harder as an administration gets older. That is why September 15 deserves attention. Again, it is not final passage. But clearing the cloture hurdle would mean the Senate has enough support to proceed despite months of negotiation. For XRP, XLM and HBAR, the significance is not a one-day candle. The significance is what happens if their institutional ecosystems finally operate under a durable statutory framework. For $XRP, that could push the conversation even further away from years of SEC uncertainty and toward institutional scale through Ripple Prime, RLUSD, payments, FX, tokenization and credit. For stellar:native, it could give U.S. Bank's stablecoin work, DTCC's upcoming Stellar connection and the network's growing RWA market a clearer U.S. path. For hedera-hashgraph:native, it could support exactly the bank-DLT and regulated-tokenization environment Hedera has spent years preparing for. And there is even a second policy route in Witt's interview. He said that if Congress does not complete the legislation, the administration intends to push an aggressive SEC and CFTC rulemaking agenda. That means these assets are entering the next stage from a position where the agencies have already placed all three inside the digital-commodity category. I still prefer the congressional route because statute is the bigger prize. But either way, U.S. policy is moving deeper into the question of how these markets should actually operate. That is why I see September 15 differently. It isn't simply another crypto vote. It is a test of whether the United States is ready to move from classifying digital assets to building the financial market around them. And XRP, XLM and HBAR do not need to wait around hoping someone builds infrastructure afterward. The infrastructure is already there. The law is finally trying to catch up. If that happens, the next phase for these assets won't be about proving they belong in American finance. It will be about seeing how much of American finance can actually run through the systems already built around them.

How much liquidity can Ripple Prime bring into the broader ecosystem? Those are much better questions for holders than endlessly debating whether XRP itself should exist inside U.S. markets. And Ripple has not been sitting still waiting for Congress. Its 2026 institutional strategy describes XRP utility across payments, liquidity and credit. Ripple Prime now clears more than $3 trillion annually across markets for 300+ institutional customers. Its U.S. prime-brokerage infrastructure supports XRP and RLUSD alongside broader institutional trading activity. Ripple Prime also raised $275 million in investment-grade senior notes to expand its U.S. business. Ripple has RLUSD. 👉It has payments. 👉It has custody. 👉It has tokenization infrastructure. 👉It has treasury infrastructure. 👉It has institutional liquidity infrastructure. 👉It has onchain credit development. That is why the timing is so important. Imagine if Ripple had to begin building all of that after regulatory clarity arrived. It would still be years away from institutional scale. Instead, much of the machinery already exists before Congress finishes writing the rules. That is a fundamentally stronger setup. Then there is stellar:native. Stellar has a different regulatory story, but the fit with CLARITY may be just as powerful. The Stellar Development Foundation, led by Denelle Dixon, has been asking Washington for clear digital-commodity rules for years. Dixon previously described regulatory clarity before the Senate Agriculture Committee as existential to building responsibly and bringing established institutions into blockchain. Fast-forward to September 2026. The SEC/CFTC explicitly lists XLM as a digital commodity. Stellar has roughly $4 billion of real-world assets on the network according to SDF's current update. Stablecoin transfer volume reached $11.4 billion in Q2, up 72% quarter over quarter. And then U.S. Bank did something that perfectly explains why CLARITY matters. On September 9, U.S. Bank completed its first pilot transaction using USBDC, its proprietary dollar-backed stablecoin, on Stellar. The bank moved that digital money between its own entities in North America and Europe. This wasn't separated from normal bank infrastructure. The transaction remained connected to U.S. Bank's existing finance, risk, compliance and operational systems. The pilot tested minting, payment, redemption, freezing and clawback. And U.S. Bank and SDF are already evaluating additional areas including liquidity management, collateral mobility and cross-border treasury operations. That is one of the cleanest examples I can think of. A major American bank is already testing proprietary bank money on Stellar. At the same time, Congress is debating legislation saying national banks can use digital assets and distributed ledgers for financial activities they are otherwise permitted to perform. The technology is already there. The bank is already testing it. The legislation is trying to create a clearer statutory environment around the activity. That is why I don't view CLARITY as the beginning of Stellar's institutional thesis. It could become the legal framework catching up to something that is already happening. Then there is DTCC. DTC's Tokenization Service plans to connect tokenized DTC-custodied assets to Stellar in the first half of 2027. The asset classes being evaluated include U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds, major-index ETFs and Russell 1000 securities. CLARITY separately addresses how tokenized securities can operate while remaining subject to securities law. Put those two developments together and the significance becomes obvious. Stellar's institutional story is increasingly about bank money on one side and tokenized capital markets on the other. XLM sits natively underneath that network through fees, reserves and network liquidity. That is exactly the kind of environment that becomes more valuable when financial institutions have a durable rulebook. Then look at hedera-hashgraph:native. This connection gets even more specific. Patrick Witt himself participated at HederaCon 2026 in the closing fireside chat titled “Policy Meets Innovation: Clarity over Chaos.” He was literally discussing what CLARITY could mean for institutional adoption and U.S. digital assets inside the Hedera ecosystem. Then consider what Hedera already has in place. HBAR was explicitly listed by the SEC/CFTC as a digital commodity. The Canary HBAR ETF, HBR, trades on Nasdaq and directly holds HBAR. Its structure includes BitGo Bank & Trust and Archax as HBAR custodians and U.S. Bank as cash custodian. So regulated public-market access already exists. Then you have the enterprise side. Lloyds Banking Group, Aberdeen Investments and Archax have already executed FX trades using tokenized money-market funds and UK gilts on Hedera as collateral. Aberdeen manages around £500 billion. Archax has also launched real-time streaming cash flows for tokenized securities on Hedera using USDC. Wyoming's FRNT, described in the context as the first U.S. state-issued stable token, is live on Hedera. Hedera Stablecoin Studio is built around banks, tokenized deposits, regulated stablecoins and financial institutions. Again, CLARITY does not need to create Hedera's institutional market. Hedera already has banks, regulated tokenization, stablecoin infrastructure, exchange-traded HBAR access and public-sector digital money activity around the network. The proposed federal framework could make it easier for more institutions to engage with that infrastructure from inside established banking and capital-market rules. That is why these three assets feel so different from the average altcoin around this vote. All three are already standing inside the categories Washington is trying to formalize. XRP is sitting inside payments, liquidity, prime brokerage and tokenized finance. XLM is sitting inside stablecoins, bank money, tokenized securities and cross-border settlement. HBAR is sitting inside regulated tokenization, bank-facing DLT infrastructure, digital cash and collateral markets. And all three are already named by federal regulators as digital commodities. That combination is incredibly important. People call XRP, XLM and HBAR “Made in America” coins all the time. That phrase is not a legal CLARITY category. Congress is not giving an asset special treatment because it has American roots. The stronger story is far better anyway. Ripple was founded in the U.S. The Stellar Development Foundation is a Delaware nonprofit. The Hedera Council is a Delaware LLC. And their native assets already sit inside the same federal digital-commodity interpretation. So if the market starts searching for an informal American digital-infrastructure basket after CLARITY advances, I can understand exactly why these names would come up. Not because of a slogan. Because their infrastructure already overlaps with the financial activities being addressed by the legislation. And there is another layer here that I think crypto investors often miss. Regulatory clarity doesn't only affect traders. It affects compliance departments. 👉Bank boards. 👉Risk committees. 👉Custodians. 👉Broker-dealers. 👉ETF issuers. 👉Prime brokers. 👉Asset managers. 👉Market makers. 👉Corporate treasurers. Those institutions don't need a viral tweet to decide where billions of dollars can go. They need legal language their lawyers can map against their operations. That is where legislation can change behavior. An agency interpretation can be important. A congressional statute can become much harder to reverse. That distinction is exactly why CLARITY can matter even though XRP, XLM and HBAR already have the digital-commodity designation today. March gave them classification. CLARITY can help build the permanent market around that classification. And the wider Trump administration policy direction already lines up with it. The May 19 executive order says federal regulation should allow digital assets and innovative technology to integrate into traditional financial services and payment systems. The White House digital-assets report supports clearer CFTC authority over spot non-security digital assets, custody, trading, DeFi, tokenization, stablecoins and blockchain activity by banks. The policy path is beginning to look coherent: GENIUS Act for stablecoins. SEC/CFTC interpretation for asset taxonomy. The banking executive order for integration into traditional finance. CLARITY for the broader market structure. That is a very different Washington than the one XRP holders were dealing with several years ago. And Patrick Witt is now saying there is a political window to finish the job. He would not attach himself to Senator Cynthia Lummis' specific 2030 warning. But his reasoning was clear. The November midterms can change congressional math. Lame-duck periods are difficult. Major legislation gets harder as an administration gets older. That is why September 15 deserves attention. Again, it is not final passage. But clearing the cloture hurdle would mean the Senate has enough support to proceed despite months of negotiation. For XRP, XLM and HBAR, the significance is not a one-day candle. The significance is what happens if their institutional ecosystems finally operate under a durable statutory framework. For $XRP, that could push the conversation even further away from years of SEC uncertainty and toward institutional scale through Ripple Prime, RLUSD, payments, FX, tokenization and credit. For stellar:native, it could give U.S. Bank's stablecoin work, DTCC's upcoming Stellar connection and the network's growing RWA market a clearer U.S. path. For hedera-hashgraph:native, it could support exactly the bank-DLT and regulated-tokenization environment Hedera has spent years preparing for. And there is even a second policy route in Witt's interview. He said that if Congress does not complete the legislation, the administration intends to push an aggressive SEC and CFTC rulemaking agenda. That means these assets are entering the next stage from a position where the agencies have already placed all three inside the digital-commodity category. I still prefer the congressional route because statute is the bigger prize. But either way, U.S. policy is moving deeper into the question of how these markets should actually operate. That is why I see September 15 differently. It isn't simply another crypto vote. It is a test of whether the United States is ready to move from classifying digital assets to building the financial market around them. And XRP, XLM and HBAR do not need to wait around hoping someone builds infrastructure afterward. The infrastructure is already there. The law is finally trying to catch up. If that happens, the next phase for these assets won't be about proving they belong in American finance. It will be about seeing how much of American finance can actually run through the systems already built around them.

🚨 The timing couldn’t be better. AI is eating the world but governments are now forcing accountability. The EU AI Act makes it mandatory to disclose copyrighted training data. U.S. courts are allowing copyright suits against model trainers to proceed. Regulators are signaling: no more scraping without paying. 👉 The world is moving toward IP protection as the new macro tailwind, and Camp is perfectly positioned to power that shift. ⚡ So what is Camp Network? Think of it as a Layer 1 blockchain built for creators & AI developers. ● Origin → register and tokenize IP, attach license + royalty terms. ● mAItrix → deploy AI agents trained on that IP, with every usage tracked on-chain. The magic? Royalties flow automatically. No middlemen. No “trust me” platforms. Just transparent, programmable rights rails. 🛠️ Proof it’s more than theory: 60+ teams are already building in Camp’s ecosystem. From Rewarded TV (tracking provenance in streaming) to Remaster (compliant creator monetization), builders are shipping live apps today. Add to that momentum in music, gaming, and sports and you see why $Camp isn’t just a chain, it’s a growing economy. ✨ Why this matters: User owned IP is the future of AI training. Instead of scraping the internet, agents train on clean, provenance backed data. Every license is baked into the protocol, every royalty enforced by code. The result? ● Better data for AI models ● Fair payouts for creators ● A sustainable AI economy for everyone involved. 💡 Growth the right way.

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. Onward and upward, Team Gemini Full recap here: * Gemini-branded credit products are issued by WebBank. ** Perpetuals and Tokenized Stocks are offered by Gemini Intergalactic EU Artemis, Ltd, which is authorised and regulated by the MFSA under the Investment Services Act to offer certain services under the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) to institutions and traders. Perpetuals and tokenized stocks are complex instruments that carry a high risk of loss and are not appropriate for all investors. You should consult a licensed advisor before engaging in any transaction. Tokenized stocks are manufactured by Dinari, Inc. *** Staking services are offered by Gemini Intergalactic EU, Ltd., but are not regulated activities and are not subject to regulatory oversight, conduct of business rules, or investor protection requirements established under Markets in Crypto Assets Act. **** APRs are indicative only and may change at any time. All investments involve risk, including possible loss of capital. For more information, please refer to your User Agreement with the relevant Gemini entity.

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.

Dear ICP community, the Internet Computer has now been running strong for 5 years 👏👏👏 Here is a celebratory preview of ICP "cloud engines," the sovereign frontier cloud technology the network shall soon provide from Main points: — Cloud engines enable anyone to spin up their own sovereign frontier cloud. The technology involves an extraordinary inventive step, in which cloud is created from a mathematically secure network of nodes. The nodes run as part of the Internet Computer network ( but are selected and configured by the cloud engine's owner. — The frontier cloud provided by engines is strongly focused on enabling AI agents to build and update online applications and services for us. The world is changing fast, and nearly all new online apps and services are already being built with the help of AI, and thus cloud engines target the future of cloud. — Software hosted on cloud engines is tamperproof, which means that it is immune to infrastructure hacks, because it runs inside a mathematically secure network protocol, rather than on computers directly. This means that AI agents, and those building with them, don't need to have a security team in the loop, or to trust someone else's security team. This is crucial, because in the future, non technical people will demand the freedom to build with full automation — where they just need to issue instructions to AI about what to build, and don't need to worry about anything or anyone else. Of course, apps and services running on engines are also vastly safer from the new breed of hacker being enabled by frontier AI. (The cloud engines themselves are also "tamperproof." Even if a hacker gains physical access to some portion of a cloud engine's nodes, and can make arbitrary changes, the computations and data of the hosted apps and services cannot be corrupted or interrupted so long as the network's fault bounds aren't exceeded. The recent hack of Vercel, a major cloud platform, which gave hackers access to the apps it hosted, provides additional perspective on the importance of this advantage.) — Software hosted on cloud engines is guaranteed to run, so long as a sufficient number of the engine's nodes are running. This means that AI can build applications and services without the need to have a human systems admin team constantly tinkering with the underlying platform to keep it running, which is again crucial, because in the future, non technical people will expect the freedom to use AI to build without the support of others. — New frontier programming language technology, in the form of the Motoko language developed by Caffeine Labs, leverages seminal "orthogonal persistence" technology that unifies program logic and data to deliver further unlocks for AI (Motoko is the first computer language being developed that targets agents that are writing software rather than humans engineers per se). Nowadays, AI can build and update production apps at a prodigious rate, even at the speed of conversation. But it can also make mistakes, and there's a risk that an update it creates might be "lossy" in the sense it causes some transformed data to be lost. Again, in this new world, it's both undesirable and impractical for everyone to have to have a systems admin team on-hand to detect lossy updates and roll them back, but Motoko provides a solution: it can detect new software updates are lossy before they are applied, reducing potentially catastrophic errors by AI to harmless coding retries. — Software hosted on cloud engines is "serverless" but unlike traditional serverless software, directly it directly incorporates data through "orthogonal persistence." Another key purpose is simplify backend software logic and fuel the modeling power of AI by increasing abstraction (sorry for the technical language!!!). Put simply, this enables AI to produce more sophisticated backends, faster, and at dramatically lower costs, as measured by the number AI API tokens consumed during coding. (Tip for the technical: orthogonal persistence is a new paradigm where "the program is the database," and data lives inside program variables, which is possible because it's as if hosted software runs forever in persistent memory). — An expanding database of skills at shall make it possible to develop and directly deploy apps and services to your cloud engines directly from Claude Code, Perplexity, Codex and other AI platforms. Further, your account on can be connected, so that new apps and updates created through conversation automatically appear hosted from your cloud engine. In the future, R&D is going to be very seamless. You converse with AI, and your secure and unstoppable apps or services are created or updated. Cloud engines are designed to directly support this "self-writing cloud" future where we can work hands-free. — Tech sovereignty is becoming a huge issue worldwide, with governments and corporations seeking to create sovereign tech stacks owing to geopolitical tensions. Increasingly, people are realizing that tech provided by foreign nations can come with hidden backdoors and kills switches, from the base platform, right up through hosted apps and services. ICP technology is open source, and those building on ICP using AI own their own source code. When you have the source code, you can verify that there are no backdoors, and when you own the source code thanks to AI, you can update it at will, freeing you from vendor lock-in. But cloud engines take sovereignty much further... — You create a cloud engine by selecting the nodes that will be combined. You can choose the class of nodes used, and their number, but more importantly, you can choose who operates the nodes, and where they are located. Almost any configuration is possible, because the Internet Computer scales the security privileges afforded to hosted software within the network according to configuration (software hosted on cloud engines can directly interoperate with software on other engines and traditional subnets, but base restrictions are applied according to security rules). A cloud engine can be created within a region such as Europe, to comply with regs such as GDPR, or completely within a sovereign state like Switzerland or Pakistan. But cloud engines go further still... — Sovereignty is also about freedom from vendor lock-in. Cloud engines are essentially ICP (Internet Computer Protocol) network configurations, and this means the underlying compute nodes they combine can be swapped out without interrupting their hosted apps and services. This is a big deal. In addition, cloud engines now support nodes that are instances running on Big Tech's clouds, in addition to nodes that are dedicated specialized hardware, as per the Gen I and Gen II nodes that dominate the Internet Computer today. For example, it is possible to have an engine running across different AWS data centers, say, and then reconfigure the engine to run across a mixture of AWS, Google, Azure and Hetzner for even more resilience, without the users of hosted apps and services noticing a thing. That's true freedom. — Sovereign AI is becoming increasingly important too, and cloud engines allow special "AI nodes" to be added to them, so that hosted software can perform inference on hardware provisioned by the owner from a location the owner has selected. Even though the AI nodes are only accessible within the cloud engine, they can still benefit from the forthcoming Internet Intelligence Gateway (IG), which will make it possible to validate inference performed on key frontier open weights LLMs, even when the inference is performed on completely independent AI clouds. When the results of inference are received, this technology can verify that neither the prompt+context (input) nor the inference result (output) have been modified, and that the results were produced by the precise LLM expected. This ensures that AI clouds don't cheat by running inference on cheaper models than are being paid for, and bad actors aren't modifying the inputs or outputs to surreptitiously insert advertising into results, say, or change facts, or insert malware when code is being generated. What's super cool about this technology is the cost of the verification is scalable. A very valuable additional security can be achieved with only 1-2% of extra cost. — Scaling apps and services when they hit capacity limits is another thorny problem that cloud engines help the world address. Engines make scaling possible without rewriting or reconfiguring software. The query workload capacity of hosted software can be horizontally scaled simply by adding new nodes to an engine, and nodes can also be added in geographical proximity to demand. Meanwhile, update workload capacity can first be scaled-up by swapping an engine's nodes out for the next class up, and then when no larger class of node is available, horizontally scaled-out by "splitting" the engine into two, which doubles available capacity. (Technical tip: horizontally scaling update capacity by splitting engines requires multi-canister architectures). — For those who have been following how Caffeine builds apps that can efficiently store large numbers of files, I should mention that apps built on cloud engines will also support the new ICP Blob Storage cloud network (since cloud engines currently have up to about 3 TB of memory, which apps storing large amounts of files can easily exceed). We are also working on allowing blob storage nodes to be added to cloud engines, to enable sovereign mass blob storage within an engine, similarly to how AI nodes can be added currently. — Lastly, but certainly not least, I should mention that cloud engines are multi-blockchain capable, and ready for digital assets, thanks to the clever math at their core. For example, an e-commerce service built on a cloud engine can securely accept and custody stablecoin payments, or a multi-chain DEX could be hosted. Further, engines can support software autonomy (software orchestrated and controlled by other autonomous software, in a decentralized way) and can themselves be orchestrated by SNS technology, and thus run autonomously too. Today, though, the focus is on *mainstream* cloud. This year, the cloud industry will generate approximately one trillion dollars in revenue. That number is already huge, but is expected to grow to two trillion dollars by 2030. After years of continuous development, which have seen more than $500m spent on R&D, the Internet Computer network is now tacking directly toward this mainstream cloud market with cloud engine technology. In their first version, cloud engines are not meant to be a cloud panacea. For example, currently they are not ideal for working with big data. You should use something like DataBricks for that. Cloud engines are carefully targeted at enabling AI to produce traditional online applications and services, including SaaS, in a safer and more productive way, which represents a new market segment with tremendous potential. Of course, DFINITY will continue to work relentlessly to push forward ICP's capabilities, so expect further developments. It's worth mentioning that this cloud segment isn't just about creating new apps and services using AI, it's also about replacing legacy systems and apps built on super expensive SaaS services. Caffeine Labs is working to produce technology (Caffeine Snorkel) that can study an enterprise's legacy systems and app built on SaaS, create replacement systems and apps, and migrate the data, while supporting key stakeholders through the process over email and chat, with full automation. Thus the legacy systems and SaaS markets shall also be addressed by cloud engines. Zooming out, and reasoning in a more metaphysical way, we believe, as we always have, that there is room for a new kind of cloud created by mathematical networks, that provides seminal advances in the fields of security and resilience, as well as true sovereignty and freedom from lock-in. That this same technology, with the help of additional technologies like orthogonal persistence and Motoko, enables AI to build for us without the need for so much oversight, and to create more backend sophistication while consuming fewer AI API tokens, enables ICP to bring game-changing advances to the world. Cloud engines will work synergistically with the Intelligence Gateway, which will enable apps and services running on engines to seamlessly leverage AI, wherever that AI is running, while providing verifiability at extremely low cost for open weights frontier models. We believe that cloud engines represent an inflection point in the storied history of the Internet Computer project, and I'm very proud to be sharing the details with you on the network's fifth birthday 💪 I'll be back with more news soon!!
