🚨 De-dollarisation: Central banks are piling into gold like never before More central banks plan to cut their dollar allocations over the next decade than increase them, an OMFIF survey shows. Separate World Gold Council findings: 🔸 74% of central banks expect the dollar’s share of global reserves to fall over the next 5 years. 🔸 89% expect global central bank gold holdings to rise in the next 12 months. 🔸 A record 45% plan to increase their own gold reserves. They’ve already been hoovering up ~1,000 tonnes a year for the past four years — double the previous decade’s pace.

The crypto #AI sector is among the fastest-growing fields, offering investors alternatives to traditional crypto assets. These tokens fuel AI-driven projects that utilize algorithms and models to automate and enhance various industries. I believe that AI coins hold the greatest potential for growth and innovation in the digital asset landscape, positioning them as a crucial sector in the evolving crypto market. The artificial intelligence industry is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.46% this year, with a potential market value of $826 billion in just six years. Conclusion: “don’t fade AI Anon 📸”

Two or three surveillance drones over Beirut, flying low at the same time… Iran insists Lebanon must be included in the ceasefire agreement as a precondition for talks in Islamabad. Concerns are growing that Işrael may be preparing something else…potentially to blow up the negotiations table.

3. LB Barrett Carter is noticeably more vocal at this stage than he was as a rookie. “Being the green dot, you have to be vocal,” said Carter. “It’s year two in the league and it’s year two in Al Golden’s system. I have a year under my belt and I just feel so much more confident.”

The Trump administration is rounding up federally protected wild horses and selling them for as little as $25 through a legal loophole that strips away their protections and can send them into the slaughter pipeline. Project 2025 explicitly called for giving the government authority to “dispose” of wild horses this way. And as of May 2026, more than 58,000 wild horses remain in federal holding. In 2025, the Bureau of Land Management more than doubled the number of wild horses it sold, to roughly 3,700. Some of those horses later turned up at auctions frequented by slaughter buyers.

There have been more than 100,000 #excessdeaths in the UK since January 2022 - 30,000 more than the number of British civilians who died in #WWII. This is being ignored by Britain’s journalists. I told many of these same journalists - including journalists from ITV News - about the #horizonscandal as far back as 2014 and they ignored that too. Perhaps ITV will make a folksy feelgood docudrama about #excessdeaths in ten years time, with cute little cameos for their own reporters. I wonder how many more people will die unexpectedly in the meantime.

$Roqqu partners with @OndoFinance to drive the Global adoption of Real-World Assets Hundreds of trillions of dollars in financial assets exist today. Only a fraction of 1% of them have been tokenized. This imbalance represents one of the largest opportunities in modern finance as capital markets increasingly move on-chain. From Stocks and ETFs to bonds, commodities, and REITs, financial institutions around the world are exploring tokenization as a more efficient way to issue, distribute, and access financial assets. Against this backdrop, we are going into a strategic partnership with Ondo Finance, one of the world's leading issuers of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), to expand access to institutional-grade tokenized financial products across emerging markets. This partnership combines Ondo's leadership in bringing traditional financial assets on-chain and Roqqu's growing distribution network in emerging markets, creating new pathways for investors to participate in the next evolution of global capital markets. At a time when tokenized assets are rapidly emerging as one of the fastest-growing segments of digital finance, both companies share a common belief: the future of finance is tokenized.$

Always a privilege to be part of Canada’s constitutional traditions, especially as Leader of His Majesty’s Loyal Opposition in the Senate. As Canadians, we benefit from a continuity and stability that’s easy to take for granted. The Governor General, as the King’s representative in Canada, is the integral instrument of our constitutional architecture, quietly ensuring continuity, stability, and impartiality in how our system functions. At a time when democratic institutions are under strain around the world, there is value in pausing to recognize how ours endures.

COINBASE ACTIVATES XRP FUTURES TRADE AT SETTLEMENT ON MAY 1, PUTS XRP ON SAME FOOTING AS BTC AND ETH Coinbase 🛡️ filed with the CFTC to activate Trade at Settlement (TAS) for XRP futures on May 1, covering both nano XRP and full-sized contracts. TAS lets institutional block traders execute large orders at the official daily settlement price rather than fighting live intraday prices. It's a standard tool in traditional commodity futures markets. The move puts XRP on the same TAS footing as Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold, and crude oil on Coinbase Derivatives. It comes after ripple:native was classified as a digital commodity in March under the joint SEC-CFTC framework, and as Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse joined the CFTC's Innovation Advisory Committee.

Legs crossed, eyes closed in bliss, Bondeni is in his happy place. He’s earned himself a nickname: Our “Slow Drinker” takes at least twice as long as the other orphans to finish his milk bottles. So long, in fact, that there’s even a changing of the guard between Keepers looking after him. They have to be vigilant, as the other orphans tend to cluster round. He’s seven years old so, soon, he’ll be weaned off milk as he prepares for his eventual life in the wild. Remind yourself of how far he’s come already:

This was all streamed from Bitcoin using Ordinals. The 3D world supports real-time multiplayer interactions, and decentralized land ownership. All this is on-chain on Bitcoin, and as immutable and secure as Bitcoin itself. The weather in the world reacts to Bitcoin fees, clouds are linked to transaction volume, and time in the world is determined by block height. Makes sense for a Bitcoin world. Real-time multiplayer interactions is one of the newest features. This is particularly difficult to do because Bitcoin block times are ~10 minutes. Bitcoin has been around for 17 years, and we're now seeing fascinating new things being built on top of it.
