That doesn't sound like us. We are a highly regulated financial institution. Know that any decision made on anyone's account has a great deal of analysis done before any decision is made at all. Geegpay is a secured and trusted platform; you can take that to the bank.

We raised $60M for this moment: Introducing Slash Global USD (in partnership w/ Base). It's the first banking platform that lets you open a USD account without an LLC, EIN, or the rampant account closures they call "account safety". It took major legislative changes AND 3 years to pull this off. Here's what makes it so different: 1. Banking without an LLC. Before Slash: You needed a LLC, $1K in fees, a virtual address, and a U.S. tax ID. With Slash you get a real U.S. account & routing number in ~10 minutes with your foreign documents. 2. No more hefty fees. PayPal charges a 3-4% conversion fee. We let you receive USD and crypto (USDC) with NO fees. Not enough? We pay you up to 4.5% cash rewards just for holding your money with us. 3. Account freezes. The big guys love flagging success as “fraud”. We're built for fast moving founders. We'll never wrongfully freeze your funds. I'm putting my money where my mouth is: If we do, I'll wire $10K to a charity of your choice. ------------------------------ In 2021, I dropped out of the number 1 school in America as a Venezuelan immigrant to build Slash. I pivoted the business 2x before getting our first customer. Today: - 3,000 businesses use Slash - We bought the domain Slash . com for $1M - $4B is spent on our credit cards every year And we just raised $41M from the people who built fintech: Menlo Ventures NEA Y Combinator Goodwater -------------------------------- To celebrate this launch, we're giving away our internal AI finance Agent free. It watches your bank accounts 24/7. Flags double charges. Cancels forgotten subscriptions. It saved us $39,000 last month. You don’t need a Slash account. It works with any bank. Retweet + comment “Slash” and I’ll send you a free access link.

For over two decades, the US Government has been the biggest champion of the global HIV response. The current disruptions in US funding for PEPFAR and other programs are having a devastating impact. If PEPFAR is not fully resumed, and other resources are not found for the HIV response, UNAIDS estimates that over the next four years there would be: ☑️ 6.3 million additional AIDS-related deaths ☑️ 8.7 million additional people newly infected with HIV. The global disruption in HIV prevention and treatment services has led to clinic closures and halted prevention efforts and community systems - threatening to reverse decades of hard-won progress in the fight to #endAIDS. The suddenness of this disruption highlights the need for a planned transition for countries from foreign aid to national ownership in order to ensure continuity of HIV services. UNAIDS Global is working with partners to develop HIV sustainability roadmaps to support countries to lead the critical programmatic, policy and financial aspects of their HIV response. We are promoting national ownership, increasing domestic financing, and ensuring that the hard-earned progress in the HIV response is protected and sustained. A vital lesson in all this is that global problems need global solutions. Pandemics respect no borders, and viruses don’t stop for visas. Ending a pandemic like AIDS requires coordination, solidarity, and compassion. We are hopeful that the 🇺🇸 government will maintain its life-saving contributions through PEPFAR, while countries work urgently to ensure sustainability of their HIV responses with greater national ownership.

Dr Pali Lehohla says South Africa’s economy should be 3x what it is, but the government is too stupid, corrupt and greedy. Dr Lehohla’s assessment resonate with many people because because it presents a straightforward diagnosis that if you simply root out corruption and adopt better ideas, the potential of the economy will be unlocked. By saying that it’s just stupidity, corruption and lack of “imagination”, Dr Lehohla appears to disregard how South Africa’s economy is structured. For starters, South Africa’s policy strategy, particularly since 1996 and especially in 2000 with the introduction of inflation-targeting, has relied heavily on attracting foreign portfolio flows to cover its chronic current account deficit. This is what has largely kept South Africa as Africa’s leading economy. The steady flow of hundreds of billions of dollars helps South Africa cover its foreign currency shortages which it desperately needs to trade in international markets. Now, to keep these financial inflows coming, National Treasury and the South African Reserve Bank must prioritise high real interest rates and financial market stability to reassure foreign bondholders that SA is a safe space for their dollars, pounds and euros. Although these high interest rates attract foreign bond buyers, they also make borrowing expensive for local businesses, which stifles job creation, hence SA’s high unemployment rate. To National Treasury and the Reserve Bank, these are just the costs of doing business. The point is that contrary to popular belief, the Treasury isn’t acting out of ignorance or lack of vision. They are aware that if they were to deviate too sharply to pursue aggressive growth policies, they would risk a currency collapse, soaring inflation and other quite serious economic problems they would rather not deal with. Someone may argue that adopting these policies all those years ago in the first place *is* the stupidity Dr Lehohla is lamenting. This may very well be the case, but still, there were reasons beyond just a lack of imagination. For one, when the original GNU took office in 1994, it inherited an economy that had been isolated by sanctions, burdened by high public debt and severely capital-starved. The South African Reserve Bank had virtually no foreign exchange reserves to defend the currency or finance international trade. The SARB had no reserves because its senior officials had pilfered and looted the money when it started looking apparent that the White minority government would collapse. Because of this, South Africa had gone from an economy designed to comfortably serve 10% of the population, to one that had to service tens of millions more overnight. But the internal savings were far too low to finance the massive infrastructure and industrial development needed for this. To grow the economy and meet these new social goals, South Africa needed to import capital equipment and consumer goods. However, the country needed to importing far more than it was exporting which created a persistent current account deficit and without domestic savings to bridge the gap, the government had to desperately attract foreign capital. That’s how the foreign investors came swooping in. But there was also something that happened in the early 1990s that spooked the ANC and convinced leadership at National Treasury and the Reserve Bank that the country was hyper-vulnerable to foreign currency shortages. In early 1996, South Africa experienced a sudden capital outflow when rumours and market uncertainty caused foreign investors to pull short-term capital out of the country. As a result, the Rand depreciated by over 20% in a few months and because official foreign exchange reserves were so low, the Reserve Bank was powerless to defend the currency. So, to prevent currency collapses that would spark runaway inflation and destroy purchasing power, the government concluded it had to prioritise foreign investor confidence above everything else. So, in response to the 1996 crisis, the ANC shifted away from the state-led Redistribution and Development Programme and introduced GEAR which committed the country to the public budget and removing foreign exchange controls to reassure foreign investors that they could move their money in and out freely. In short, South Africa adopted the current way of doing things as a deliberate strategy to solve the fundamental dilemma of how to finance a growing, open economy with insufficient domestic savings and low foreign exchange reserves. Now, to be fair to Dr Lehohla, he could be saying they were stupid and spineless for caving to foreign pressure when they could have stood their ground and doubled down on state-led industrial development. In which case, I tend to agree. I would go a bit further and say what Treasury is doing may have been a necessity in 1996, but was already unnecessary by 2006, let alone in 2026. South Africa now has $75 to 80 billion in gross reserves vs. almost zero in 1996. So, the original scarcity rationale is diminished. Yet Treasury has continuously been running an austerity programme, even during commodity booms like in the 2000s when it could have built fiscal buffers and invested in infrastructure. So Dr Lehohla’s lack of imagination accusation appears to land when you ask *why* the ANC government never adapted its strategy throughout the decades as conditions changed. The answer to this question is disheartening. The reality is that if the government, through Treasury, were to attempt to change its economic trajectory, what happened in 1996 would repeat. Vested interests would pull capital, short the rand, spread negative news and systematically suffocate the economy until the government falls back in line. Still, Dr Lehohla is correct that the ANC has been stupid for a while. In the last twenty years they could have built countervailing power like through a sovereign wealth fund, a regional payment system outside dollar dominance, strategic reserves of essentials or diversified trading partners to reduce USD dependency. Instead, they accepted dependence on short-term foreign dollars, which is why they now have to keep going back to the IMF and World Bank to borrow more of those dollars. Similarly, the National Treasury has internalised the market’s preferences so completely that they now believe austerity is good policy instead of coercion. As Antonio Gramsci warned, the dominant ideology has now become common sense.

A TRUST FUND FOR EVERYONE: How to create a Monetary Commons that socialises money and funds a basic dividend without new taxes or debt [At a time Donald Trump, Big Tech and Wall Street deploy stablecoins to privatise the dollar, usurping the decentralising power of blockchain to enrich themselves at everyone else’s expense, here is an alternative use of blockchain that harnesses its decentralising powers to benefit everyone equally – to pay everyone a substantial, non-inflationary, basic dividend – without the need to tax or borrow. Read on and/or watch the video] Here is an idea that can make a real, urgently needed, difference to our awfully divided, exploitative societies. Imagine a trust fund for everyone paying a personal dividend to each. Now imagine a common, a public digital platform, let’s call it a Monetary Commons, that harnesses our collective capacity to create the money needed to fund this personal dividend for all. The idea of a personal or basic income is not new, of course. People have sung its praises for decades. But they were stifled. The majority doesn’t want to pay higher taxes, or the higher interest rates more public debt would bring, to deliver a personal payment to others, including to the already stinking rich. But what if it is now possible to pay a decent personal dividend without new taxes or new public debt. How? Not by magic or hocus pocus economics but by reclaiming from private bankers our society’s power to create money. Today, we have the digital tools to take back the power to create money, use that power to create a common trust fund, and pay each a personal dividend. These tools are here already. And if we do not use them for benefitting everyone, the bankers and Big Tech will use them to print more money for themselves. So, let’s get cracking! Let’s build a new Monetary Commons to pay a personal dividend to each! How would it work? Technically, it is ever so simple. You download an app, let’s call it Monetary Commons Pay (or MCPay). MCPay is provided by your central bank (the Fed in the US, the ECB in Europe, the Bank of England in Britain etc.). Essentially, the central bank has opened a digital account for you which you can use to receive and pay money, the way you use your normal bank account app. How is this MCPay app helpful? In three fabulous ways, which I shall present in ascending order of importance. First, because with MCPay you can send and receive money for free, avoiding the terrible, inexcusable, fees charged by private banks – even the ‘fuel fees’ of crypto. The second, even greater, benefit is that the money you keep in your MCPay grows at the central bank interest rate – which is always higher than the measly rate private banks pay for your savings. Free transactions and higher interest on your savings would be good enough reasons to have the MCPay app. But, the truly mesmerising, hugely exciting benefit is the third one: The new app makes it possible for the Central Bank to pay you, and everyone else, a substantial personal dividend. Pay attention to see where this money will come from, why it is not inflationary, why it requires no new taxes, no new debt and no magic: You have heard of how private banks create loans from thin air, right? How they can turn, on average, $3 of new deposits into a new $100 loan? [Yes, lest we forget, only 3% of the money in our advanced economies come from the central bank – the rest is conjured up by private banks.] But this works in reverse as well! If bankers turn $3 into $100, were you to transfer $3 from your normal bank to your MCPay, to take advantage of free transactions and the higher interest rate, you will have annulled your banker’s opportunity to create $100. In other words, as you transfer $3 from your bank to your new MCPay account, the total quantity of money in the economy would fall by, $100 minus $3, $97. Would this not be bad for the economy? It sure would be if nothing was done about it. But wait. Suppose the central bank were to create $97 for every $3 transferred to someone’s MCPay and credit that extra $97, equally, to everyone’s MCPay account. Bingo! Do you see now how a personal dividend was made possible without new taxes, new debt or potentially inflationary increases in the quantity of money? Now, please do not think that this a theoretical discussion. Yes, our governments, in the pockets of financiers as they are, are not interested in giving you the option of an MCPay app. But, with Donald Trump at the helm and his GENIUS Act on the statutes, they are busily handing over this incredible power to create money not to society, not to a Monetary Commons, but to Big Tech and Wall Street. How? By shunning the MCPay app that would benefit you, everyone, equally, and pushing instead for so-called stablecoins issued by privateers, mainly Big Tech and Wall Street, for their benefit. But how much money could we expect to receive as a personal dividend if we were to create a monetary commons? The answer is: a lot! The US Treasury recently predicted that around worth $6.6 trillion of US bank deposits will be transferred to stablecoins - the private version of MCPay from which you will benefit not at all. Yes, $6.6 trillion, that is more than six thousand billion dollars. If such a sum were to be transferred to the monetary commons, to our MCPay accounts, keeping the quantity of money in the US constant would require that the Fed credits $213 trillion to everyone’s MCPay accounts. That’s considerably more than $600 thousand for each woman, man and child resident in the US! And similarly in Britain, Europe, Japan etc. A sizeable trust fund for everyone. This is a remarkable opportunity for making a difference to our awfully divided societies. We must seize it. For the benefit of the many, not the few. Of course, the few – beginning with the bankers – will scream blue murder. They will do their utmost to stop this from happening. They will fearmonger like crazy, eager as they are to usurp the lion’s share of the money that society generates collectively. They will try to terrorise you with tales of calamities that will befall you if this Monetary Commons were to be created. They will prognosticate cataclysmic inflation – even though the whole point of the personal dividend is to keep the money supply constant. They will terrorise you with the prospect of new taxation and new public debt – even though they understand that there is no need for new taxes or new public debt to pay you a substantial personal dividend. To appeal to your social conscience, they will tell you that a Monetary Commons is Elon Musk’s and the libertarians’ way to dismantle social security – even though there is no reason to cut social security in any way to fund everyone’s personal dividend. They will bombard you with the spectre of Big Brother, likening the Monetary Commons to a Chinese Communist Party ploy to have the central bank follow your every transaction – even though they know that MCPay can easily be built on distributed ledger technology that guarantees privacy to each while preventing the authorities from manipulating the money supply without the public noticing. As they scream and shout and terrorise you, you will know: Bankers just hate the idea of going back to the role of intermediaries, of borrowing from Jack to lend to Jill. They are only interested in maintaining their monopoly over the money system – and to extend it now that digital money enhances society’s capacity to create even more new money, a capacity that they want to privatise when we should want to share equally. So, let us ignore the shrieks of the moneymen and let us use new tech to share better the benefits from our collective capacity to create money. Let’s make building a Monetary Commons our common goal. It won’t cure all of our deeply exploitative society’s ills. But it will go a long way to cure many and, perhaps more importantly, it will give the many a sense of their power. FOR MORE ON THE MONETARY COMMONS, VISIT Raphael Arar Hirad Sab DiEM25

Turkey just walked into the world’s most expensive trap, smiling, waving, and signing IOUs it hasn’t even figured out how to pay back because what Ankara is trying to do right now is the fiscal equivalent of ordering 300 Ferraris on credit while your bank account is already negative. Turkey just promised to buy 300 planes and locked itself into 20-year LNG deals with U.S. suppliers. That’s a mortgage on the next two decades of your grandchildren’s future. Buying hundreds of jets is straight up debt cosplay. Even if financed over decades, these planes are denominated in USD. Means Turkey just said, “We’ll pay you in dollars,” while the lira is busy free-falling like a skydiver without a parachute. When your interest rate (r) > your growth rate (g), the math is brutal: Delta D = (r - g)D + new borrowing Congratulations, Turkey just turbocharged its debt overhang problem. Keep in mind that Turkey still doesn’t have enough fire planes. Then there’s the LNG contract. BOTAS signed a 20-year deal with Mercuria. Twenty. Years. That’s basically saying: Hey, whatever happens in energy markets, shale boom, renewables, global price collapse, we’ll keep overpaying because we pinky-swore with Trump. Beautiful, if you’re Mercuria. Disastrous, if you’re a Turkish consumer footing the bill. 🤔300 planes + long-term LNG = massive imports. 😳Imports = foreign exchange outflow. 😱Outflow = bigger current account deficit. 😫Bigger CAD = more dependency on foreign capital inflows. 😵‍💫Foreign inflows = you’re one tantrum away from a sudden stop and devaluation. The minute you’re tied into defense and energy contracts worth tens of billions, you’re not balancing anything, you’re leasing your sovereignty on a monthly plan. The U.S. now holds a remote control with two buttons for delivery delay and price adjustment. Instead of investing in domestic aerospace, renewable energy, R&D, or education, Turkey is funneling billions into imports. That’s like skipping college tuition for your kid so you can buy your neighbor’s kid a car, a house and life insurance. It’s economically suicidal. You don’t build resilience by importing dependency. Ataturk wouldn’t have wanted this. Turkey’s policymakers may think they scored diplomatic points, but what they really signed up for is a future of debt, dependency, and diminished autonomy. When growth slows, when FX reserves shrink, when interest payments eat the budget alive, remember these deals. A massive economic own-goal. Instead of strengthening its economy, Turkey just mortgaged it. Planes will fly, LNG will burn, but the debt will stay grounded like a heavy chain around the country’s ankle. The people selling Turkey these planes and gas don’t even need to lift a finger. They just sit back, collect the payments, and watch as Ankara tries to explain to its citizens why their kids’ future has been securitized for someone else’s balance sheet.

What is better, billionaire and trillionaire private citizens who don’t pay taxes while millions can’t afford their medical bills, or a “trillionaire” Gaddafi whose people had the following benefits ⬇️ 💠 Rent & Housing: Rent and homelessness were practically eliminated for many families. Gaddafi declared housing a human right and launched large state construction programs. 💧 Utilities: Electricity and water bills were heavily subsidized or completely free. 🏥 Healthcare: Libya had one of the best healthcare systems in Africa during the 1980s and early 2000s. 🩺 All citizens received free medical treatment, including surgeries abroad if necessary, paid by the state. 👶 Child mortality dropped dramatically, and life expectancy rose from about 54 years in 1969 to over 74 by 2010. 🎓 Education: Free from primary school to university level. 📚 Literacy rates rose from ~25% in 1969 to over 80% by 2010. ✈️ Students studying abroad had all expenses covered by the government (tuition, accommodation, stipends). 💰 Economy & Finance: 💵 Libya had no external debt and held over $150 billion in reserves. 🏦 The government provided interest-free loans to start small businesses or buy homes. 💍 Newlyweds received grants (up to $50,000) to help start families. 🛢️ Oil profits were nationalized and shared through state programs rather than private elites. ⛽ Energy: Fuel prices were among the lowest in the world — around $0.14 per liter. 🚗 Car ownership and mobility were encouraged by low taxes and subsidies. 🌾 Agriculture & Food: Gaddafi’s “Great Man-Made River Project,” one of the largest irrigation systems ever built, turned desert regions fertile. 🥖 Basic foods were subsidized, and agricultural workers received state support. 🕊️ Stability & Security: Before 2011, Libya had no major wars or internal terrorism. 🚔 Violent crime was rare due to strong internal security and generous social welfare. 🌍 Pan-African Development: Gaddafi invested heavily in African development — creating the African Investment Bank, African Gold Dinar project, and telecom satellites for the continent. ⚖️ His push for an independent African currency and defense union threatened Western financial dominance. 🏗️ Infrastructure: Roads, hospitals, schools, and housing expanded rapidly under oil-funded projects. 💦 The Great Man-Made River supplied most of Libya’s water needs — a feat UNESCO called “the eighth wonder of the world.” ✨ In short: free housing, free healthcare, free education, cheap fuel, social welfare, national sovereignty, and no foreign debt.

DeepFreeze on the XRP Ledger – A Comprehensive Examination We need to discuss an amendment that went unnoticed for a long time: DeepFreeze. If you are to lazy to read, just watch the video. Eminence is already voting for its activation, and I urge my fellow node operators and the community to support it. Let’s look at why. Welcome to a detailed examination of DeepFreeze, a transformative feature introduced to the XRP Ledger. This amendment is critical for institutional asset management within the ledger ecosystem. In this analysis, we’ll explore the full scope of DeepFreeze—its definition, technical architecture, institutional significance, community development, and long-term implications for XRPL’s role in financial systems. This is a deep dive into a feature that could redefine blockchain compliance and adoption. What exactly is DeepFreeze? DeepFreeze is an advanced asset-freezing mechanism integrated into the XRPL, tailored explicitly for fungible tokens issued on the ledger, such as stablecoins and tokenised real-world assets. Unlike XRP, which remains unaffected due to its native status, issued tokens fall under the control of their issuers, who can now leverage DeepFreeze for unprecedented oversight. The standard freeze, a pre-existing feature, restricts an account to only receiving tokens, preventing outward transfers. DeepFreeze, however, escalates this control by prohibiting both sending and receiving, effectively isolating the account from all token-related activities except direct transactions with the issuer. According to the XRPL documentation, available at DeepFreeze requires the activation of the DeepFreeze amendment—a network-wide upgrade voted on by XRPL validators. It cannot be applied if the issuer has set the NoFreeze flag on their account, a safeguard that permanently disables freezing capabilities for that issuer’s tokens. This layered design ensures flexibility while prioritising compliance, making DeepFreeze a powerful tool for managing token ecosystems in regulated environments. The significance for Institutions. The significance of DeepFreeze becomes evident when viewed through an institutional lens. For financial entities—such as central banks issuing central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), or stablecoin providers like Ripple’s RLUSD, Societe Generale Group Forge’s EURCV, and Braza Bank’s BBRL—this feature offers a robust mechanism to enforce regulatory compliance. Consider a scenario where an account is identified on an international sanctions list, such as those maintained by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC Treasury Department). DeepFreeze allows the issuer to immediately halt all token activity for that account, preventing inflows or outflows that could violate anti-money laundering (AML) or know-your-customer (KYC) regulations. Beyond sanctions, DeepFreeze addresses fraud mitigation. If a stablecoin issuer detects suspicious activity—a hacked account attempting to siphon funds—they can deep-freeze it, stopping the damage while investigations unfold. A article underscores this utility, noting that the standard freeze’s limitation—allowing incoming transfers—falls short for high-stakes compliance needs. DeepFreeze’s total lockdown fills this gap, enhancing security and trust. This capability could attract major regulated entities like Circle, issuer of USDC, to deploy stablecoins on the XRPL, drawn by its compliance-ready infrastructure. Such adoption would increase token volume, liquidity, and the ledger’s utility for real-world asset tokenization—think real estate or commodities—positioning the XRPL as a leader in institutional blockchain applications. The Technical Mechanics. (This is a bit technical) Let’s examine the technical architecture underpinning DeepFreeze, which introduces specific flags to the XRPL’s ledger structure. These flags, detailed in the XRPL documentation, govern trust lines—the bilateral agreements between accounts that enable token holding—and enforce the freeze’s effects. Here’s how they work: The lsfLowDeepFreeze flag is set on the RippleState object to indicate that the low account in a trust line is deep-frozen. This prevents the high account from sending or receiving the token along that trust line, effectively severing its transactional capability. Conversely, the lsfHighDeepFreeze flag marks the high account as deep-frozen, blocking the low account from similar activities. This bidirectional control ensures symmetry in enforcement. In TrustSet transactions, issuers use the tfSetDeepFreeze flag, to apply the DeepFreeze to a specific trust line, activating the lockdown. To reverse this, the tfClearDeepFreeze flag is invoked in a TrustSet transaction, restoring normal functionality to the trust line. These flags have sweeping effects across XRPL operations. Payments to a deep-frozen account fail outright, with the transaction engine returning a tecDSTfrozen error if the destination is locked. Rippling—where tokens pass through intermediary accounts—ceases for deep-frozen trust lines, halting multi-hop transfers. On the decentralized exchange (DEX) and automated market maker (AMM) systems, OfferCreate transactions involving a deep-frozen TakerPays token fail with a tecFROZEN error, and existing offers tied to frozen accounts are implicitly canceled when crossed by new offers, rendering them unfunded. The GitHub discussion at XRPLF/XRPL-Standards #220 adds further nuance, noting impacts on Check transactions—a feature for deferred payments. CheckCash fails if the recipient’s trust line is deep-frozen, protecting against unauthorized redemption, though CheckCreate and CheckCancel remain unaffected, preserving issuer flexibility. This granular control reflects DeepFreeze’s design for precision in compliance-driven scenarios. Community Development. The development of DeepFreeze highlights the XRPL community’s collaborative strength. On August 26, 2024, Shawn Xie of Ripple initiated the XLS-77d proposal in a GitHub discussion, accessible at XRPLF/XRPL-Standards #220. Spanning six comments and seven replies, the thread reveals active engagement. One participant (Wietse Wind - 🪝☝️🛠 Xaman® + XRPL + Xahau) suggested renaming ‘blackholing’—disabling an account permanently—to ‘permafrosting,’ arguing it better conveys the frozen state’s permanence and aligns with DeepFreeze’s theme. This linguistic refinement, while minor, exemplifies community influence on usability. Technical clarifications also emerged. The discussion distinguishes DeepFreeze from GlobalFreeze, which freezes all trust lines for an issuer’s tokens, noting that DeepFreeze targets specific trust lines for finer control. A question arose about rare cases where the standard tfSetFreeze might suffice—such as temporary holds—but the consensus favored DeepFreeze’s comprehensive approach for most compliance needs. The proposal, now in draft status, was merged into the rippled software codebase via pull request XRPLF/rippled #5187, confirming its deployment readiness as of March 19, 2025. This milestone underscores XRPL’s commitment to evolving through community-driven innovation. The Institutional Impact. From an institutional standpoint, DeepFreeze addresses critical gaps in the standard freeze’s functionality. The article explains that the older mechanism, while useful, permitted incoming transfers and balance adjustments, rendering it inadequate for scenarios requiring total isolation—such as sanctions enforcement or fraud containment. DeepFreeze’s ability to block all activity offers a superior solution, tailored to the demands of regulated finance. Consider its applications: a stablecoin issuer like Ripple could deep-freeze an account suspected of laundering funds, halting its operations pending review. A tokenized real estate platform could use it to secure assets during legal disputes, ensuring no unauthorized transfers occur. For sanctions, it ensures compliance with global frameworks, preventing tokens from reaching blacklisted entities. These use cases enhance the XRPL’s appeal to institutional players, potentially drawing Circle’s USDC or other major stablecoins to the ledger. The ripple effect—pardon the pun—could be substantial. Increased institutional adoption would boost token issuance, trading volume, and liquidity, reinforcing XRPL’s infrastructure for real-world asset tokenization. This aligns with broader trends in blockchain finance, where compliance-ready platforms are increasingly favored by traditional institutions seeking to integrate digital assets. Conclusion and Implications. In conclusion, DeepFreeze represents a strategic leap forward for the XRP Ledger, harmonizing technological sophistication with regulatory necessity. By equipping issuers with comprehensive control over their tokens, it addresses the compliance and security needs of institutional users, from stablecoin providers to asset tokenizers. As of March 19, 2025, its technical implementation is mature, its community support robust, and its potential to drive XRPL adoption undeniable. Looking ahead, DeepFreeze could position the XRPL as a premier blockchain for regulated financial applications, bridging the gap between decentralized innovation and centralized oversight. Its success will depend on validator adoption of the DeepFreeze amendment and real-world uptake by institutions—a process already underway. For a deeper understanding, refer to the XRPL documentation, the article, and the GitHub discussion linked below. DeepFreeze is more than a feature—it’s a foundation for the XRPL’s future in institutional finance. How do you envision its impact on the blockchain landscape? Your perspectives are welcome.

$315 BILLION in stablecoins are now backed by US Treasuries. And I don't understand why no one's questioning this. Goldman's David Solomon and former Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin just did a victory lap on stablecoins. Their pitch: Stablecoins strengthen the dollar, create demand for Treasuries, make it easier for people outside the United States to hold dollars. Sounds great. Until you look at what's actually happening underneath... The GENIUS Act passed in July 2025. First federal stablecoin framework in US history. Stablecoin market cap has grown 50% year over year. Tether alone holds $141 billion in US Treasuries, making it one of the largest holders of American government debt on the planet. Washington's pitch is simple: every time someone in Argentina, Turkey, or Nigeria buys USDT, they're buying Treasuries by proxy. Dollar dominance strengthened. Problem solved. And here's the part they REALLY love... The US ran an $1.8 trillion deficit in fiscal 2025. CBO projects $1.9 trillion this year. National debt just crossed $39 trillion. Interest payments alone now exceed $1 trillion annually. Meanwhile, the biggest foreign buyers of Treasuries (China, Japan, Canada) have been pulling back for years. ARK Invest found that the share of Treasuries held by the largest foreign creditors dropped from 23% to just over 6% in the past 13 years. The Fed is STILL running down its balance sheet. So who's going to buy all this debt? Washington's answer: stablecoin issuers. Treasury Secretary Bessent said it himself: "A thriving stablecoin ecosystem will drive demand from the private sector for US Treasuries and help rein in the national debt." Think about what that actually means. The government is counting on a $315 billion crypto product (run largely by a company in El Salvador that just got its first real audit last week) to help finance a $1.9 TRILLION annual deficit. Stablecoin issuers currently hold less than 2% of outstanding Treasury bills. Even if the market hits $2 trillion by 2028 like Standard Chartered projects, that's still just a rounding error against $39 trillion in total debt. This is literally a NARRATIVE designed to make the debt problem sound manageable. But the Federal Reserve published a study showing that for every $1 that moves from bank deposits into stablecoins, bank lending contracts by roughly 50 cents. Stablecoin issuers can't make loans. The GENIUS Act prohibits it. They can ONLY hold Treasuries, reverse repos, and cash equivalents. So when deposits leave banks and flow into stablecoins, that money stops funding mortgages, small business loans, and commercial credit. It starts funding government debt instead. The US Treasury itself estimated stablecoins could drain up to $6.6 TRILLION from the banking system. That's not "strengthening the dollar." That's redirecting the lifeblood of the real economy into government IOUs while starving Main Street of credit. And then there's the run risk nobody wants to discuss. Fed Governor Michael Barr said it yesterday: Stablecoin issuers have every incentive to chase higher returns on their reserves. But unlike banks, they CANNOT access the Fed's discount window. If a stablecoin run happens, issuers dump Treasuries into the market all at once. Stablecoin inflows push Treasury yields down 2-2.5 basis points. Outflows spike yields UP 6-8 basis points. Easy in. Ugly out. Meanwhile, Tether is the 800-pound gorilla. $185 billion in circulation. 550 million users. And until last week, it had never had a Big Four audit. It just hired KPMG after 12 years of operating with nothing but quarterly attestations. This is the entity Wall Street is celebrating as the future of dollar dominance. A company headquartered in El Salvador that fought transparency in court twice and LOST both times. Here's what Solomon and Mnuchin are actually telling you if you listen carefully: Stablecoins create captive demand for short-term US government debt. Foreign governments don't want to hold Treasuries anymore. So Washington's solution is to get 550 million retail users in emerging markets to hold them instead through a digital wrapper called a "stablecoin." The holders get zero interest. The GENIUS Act explicitly prohibits it. The issuers pocket the Treasury returns. Tether made $10 billion in profit last year. And the real economy loses credit while the government gets cheaper funding. This is a classic Wall Street pitch to sell financial innovation as progress: "This strengthens the system. This is good for everyone." Then the leverage builds, the risks concentrate, and the people who sold you on it are nowhere to be found when it unwinds. Stablecoins are NOT saving the dollar. They're a $315 billion shadow money market fund with no Fed backstop, no deposit insurance, and run dynamics that could destabilize the very Treasury market they're supposed to support. If you want to hold dollars, hold dollars. If you want to own the asset that central banks are actually buying instead of Treasuries, you already know what that is... 🥇

🚨 A FOREIGN AGENT DIDN'T INFILTRATE AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE MEDIA. HE WAS HANDED THE KEYS, THE BUILDING, AND THE AUDIENCE. 🚨 January 2025. Salem Media. 900 stations: News, podcasts, "shows", and plenty of information dumps. This is just a small example of the reach this mess has gotten to and/or currently working directly under⬇️ Charlie Kirk's show (shamelessly still posting on his page) Dennis Prager Sebastian Gorka DrG Josh Hammer Lara Trump Brandon Tatum toddstarnes Hugh Hewitt LarryElderShow Townhall.com RedState HotAir.com PJ Media Breitbart News ecosystem Fox News amplification Rumble 🏴‍☠️ distribution (explains a lot actually) Daily Wire DailyWire+ cross-promotion. Benny Johnson (not salem owned but deeply embedded) Michael Knowles Matt Walsh Ben Shapiro All Daily Wire. Not Salem but the content pipeline runs parallel and the guest sharing is constant. (making sense yet?) Mark R. Levin oh the little man... I almost forgot about the little one... Westwood One syndication but completely embedded in the Salem content universe. Laura Ingraham Fox amplification tier. Same narrative. Same guests. Same framing. New York Post opinion section- prints what the ecosystem produces. Washington Examiner for more narrative amplification TheBlaze & Glenn Beck Glenn Beck's operation. Deeply cross-pollinated with all of the propaganda artists under Brad Parscale. PragerU Prager University. Specifically targeting young people with video content designed to look educational. Millions of views per video. Real America's Voice (RAV) American Voice Media. Smaller but specifically designed to reach the audience that thinks even Fox is too mainstream. AND THE ONE EVERYONE IS SLEEPING ON... Google Because the SEO & GEO architecture that Parscale's contract explicitly describes building is designed to determine what every single one of those platforms' audiences finds when they search. Add this mess on top why don't we? 👇 AI training data being rewritten at the source level to shape what your search results tell you before you even know what question to ask. Building GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) websites that strategically inject Large Language Models like ChatGPT Claude Grok Gemini how about ANY AI model since that is how this technology is built to work. The content farms feed the algorithm. The algorithm feeds the audience. The audience feeds the belief system. And the belief system feeds the vote. 🤦MAN do you all have a lot to learn about this special apparatus they've built against the American Conservative consumer. That is not a social media campaign. That is a full spectrum takeover of the information architecture that tens of millions of Americans use to form their understanding of the world. Radio. Digital. SEO. AI. Independent media trust transfer. All of it. This crap has been running full-throttle since January 2025 while every single host it produced called Tucker Carlson compromised by foreign influence. The infiltration did not start in September 2025 when the filing became public. That is just when concealment became legally impossible. The infiltration started the moment he walked through Salem's door in January 2025 and nobody told a single host, a single listener, or a single viewer what was being built inside the organization they trusted. And then it spreads. Because that is exactly how ecosystem capture works. It does not stay inside Salem's walls. It moves. It travels through the trust networks that connect conservative media voices to each other and to the independent platforms their audiences migrated to when they stopped trusting legacy media. Here's a GREAT (or terrible) example of the way this virus has spread ⬇️ March 28th 2026. Sean Hannity 🇺🇸, an active Salem Media voice, sits in Patrick Bet-David's representing the good 'ole America First 'MAGA' seeded chair on PBD Podcast Episode 766. PBD is away. No disclosure. No context. No mention of any of this to millions of viewers who came to independent media specifically to escape narrative management. What follows is fourteen months of foreign-funded editorial architecture finally reaching PBD's audience through a borrowed credibility transfer. Hannity primes the audience emotionally with October 7th. It starts with Adam- "why do they have all this money, they must be, they run the..." and stops himself dead on camera. The words that follow are embarrassing to say the least. The Biz Doc confirms AIPAC 🇺🇸🇮🇱 lobbies every senator and uses the pharmaceutical industry as his defense. Come'on man, you're WAY too smart for that line of messaging. Tom, you have run 9 figure operations. That line is not analysis. That is the talking point of someone who either does not want to answer the question or CAN'T. And to see VINCENT OSHANA end this clip below... just wild. Sad, if we're being honest. Sean Hannity 🇺🇸 attacks Muslim theology using a claim that does not appear anywhere in the Quran. The 72 virgins figure comes from a single hadith in Sunan al-Tirmidhi that mainstream Islamic scholars themselves classify as weak. Weak means the chain of transmission is questioned by the religion's own scholarly tradition. This is not obscure information. This is first page Islamic theology. You just told 1.8 billion people what their religion teaches based on a source their own scholars debate. That is not commentary on radical Islamic terrorism. That is you confidently misrepresenting an entire civilization's theology to millions of viewers who trusted you for accuracy. Vinny said it himself. You are meshing radical Islamic terrorism with an entire culture. Then kept going anyway. That sequence did not come from four people having an organic conversation. That sequence came from fourteen months of a foreign government's Chief Strategy Officer sitting inside the editorial architecture of the network one of those four people broadcasts on every single day. PBD built his credibility on forensic financial analysis and uncomfortable questions. That credibility is real. BUT on March 28th his large platform and podcast was used as the delivery mechanism for a content sequence that a federal filing tells you was purchased by a FOREIGN INTERESTED government. His audience's defenses were down. They believed they were watching something different. They were not watching something different. They were watching the same infrastructure in a different chair with a different logo in the background. This is what modern foreign influence actually looks like. Not a spy. Not a dead drop. Not a covert handler. A Chief Strategy Officer title. An editorial calendar. A GPT framing operation embedding pro-Israel narratives into the AI systems your audience uses before they know what question to ask. An SEO architecture determining what your search results look like. 50 million American digital impressions per month. A trust transfer operation spreading from Salem to Fox to independent media platforms whose audiences specifically came there to escape this. And every single Salem host who carried this operation for fourteen months spent that same fourteen months calling Tucker Carlson compromised by foreign influence. The projection was the operation. The accusation was the cover. And it spread all the way to Patrick Bet-David's chair before anyone said a word about what was sitting behind it. The infiltration is documented. The spread is documented. The filing is public. The only question left is who else is reading from a script they didn't know was being written for them? How many guest appearances have been infiltrated by the likes of propaganda artists like Brad Parscale? These are your enemies, not me for calling it out. And to Brad Parscale 👇 You are a native Kansas-born American citizen who was handed the Chief Strategy Officer title of America's largest Christian conservative radio network and used it to file a $9 million foreign agent registration for the Government of Israel. The Fort Lauderdale police report is public record. The FARA filing is public record. Both documents exist. Both tell you everything you need to know about the man shaping what American conservatives hear, read, search, and believe. POLITICO published the police report. Search on Google: ‘Brad Parscale hits her’: Former Trump campaign manager accused of domestic violence This is the man formulating the entire media propaganda we see today. Everything is starting to make A LOT more sense. Facts over narrative is how I live my life. Anyone following this garbage they're pushing can take a hike.

Think your Project 2025 will work? It failed miserably for 1940s world, Germany and it will fail you now. We need to make America grateful again. The American people deserve far better than this convicted felon. If Trump is re-elected, expect a regression not to 1776 but to the 1760s, complete with taxation without representation. Save your money, sharpen your manual labor skills, and prepare to lose healthcare and social security, as society splits by class and with robots, you'll find yourselves competing with AI. Canada and Mexico, consider revising your asylum laws, as many Americans might seek your sanctuary. Under King Trump, expect state sell-offs to Putin. Start learning Russian and get accustomed to cheap vodka. 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓: Project 2025, backed by The Heritage Foundation and endorsed by Donald Trump, is a central Republican strategy for 2024. This comprehensive plan aims to reshape the federal government according to conservative principles, dangerously centralizing executive power and sidelining Congress. Historical parallels, such as Nazi Germany, warn of its authoritarian potential.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫: Vought's plan emphasizes executive power while bypassing Congress, mirroring Hitler's use of the Enabling Act of 1933, which allowed his government to enact laws without the Reichstag's consent. This erodes the constitutional separation of powers and checks and balances.⁣⁣⁣ •𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐋𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬: Vought aims to staff the government with Trump loyalists, akin to how Nazis replaced civil servants and judges with party members, compromising the impartiality and independence of the civil service and judiciary.⁣⁣⁣ •𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐁𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬: Vought's intention to dismantle the "administrative state" targets essential regulatory agencies, much like the Nazi process of Gleichschaltung, which brought all aspects of German society under their control.⁣⁣⁣ •𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Vought's team is preparing legal justifications to expand executive power, similar to Nazi legal theorists who advocated for the Nazification of German law, violating constitutional norms.⁣⁣⁣ •𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐬: Vought's plan is influenced by conservative think tanks, just as Nazi policies were shaped by racist and authoritarian ideologies.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Russ Vought’s plan fundamentally betrays the principle of putting America first. By seeking to concentrate executive power, bypass Congress, and dismantle essential regulatory agencies, Vought places personal and partisan interests above the nation’s welfare. His agenda undermines the integrity of the federal workforce, politicizes governance, and destroys public trust in democratic institutions. This strategy paves the way for autocratic rule, sacrificing the very foundations of American democracy for authoritarian control. Vought’s vision jeopardizes the nation's stability and prosperity, putting America last and prioritizing power over the people.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ For anyone who believes his lies about not supporting Project 2025: There are several areas where Donald Trump's policies and campaign speeches align with aspects of Project 2025, despite Trump publicly lying and trying to distance himself from the project. Here are the key alignments: Expanding Executive Power: Trump campaigns on vastly expanding executive authority over the federal government, aligning with Project 2025's goal of consolidating executive power. Restructuring Federal Workforce: Trump proposes implementing the "Jacksonian spoils system" to replace government employees. Similarly, Project 2025 suggests reclassifying tens of thousands of federal civil service workers as political appointees to replace them with loyalists. Immigration Policies: Trump advocates for anti-immigrant policies and a massive deportation operation. This aligns with Project 2025's focus on defending national borders and sovereignty. "America First" Foreign Policy: Trump promotes an isolationist "America First" agenda, in line with Project 2025's emphasis on national sovereignty. Anti-Regulatory Stance: Trump intends to institute anti-regulatory policies, aligning with Project 2025's goal of dismantling the "administrative state." Social and Cultural Issues: Trump leans into nativist and anti-LGBT rhetoric, corresponding with Project 2025's aim to infuse government and society with conservative Christian values. Education Reforms: Trump proposes terminating the Department of Education, while Project 2025 suggests decentralizing its authority. Energy and Environmental Policies: Trump pursues a climate change denial and anti-clean energy platform, aligning with Project 2025's likely stance on energy deregulation. If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. American people deserve better than TFG Trump stiffed hardworking contractors, knowing they couldn't afford prolonged legal battles. Republicans did nothing about it. His Trump University misled veterans and everyday people, resulting in millions in fines. Republicans did nothing about it. He used $250 million from your donations as his "defense" fund to cover personal expenses. Republicans did nothing about it. He manipulated elderly supporters by quietly setting up recurring donations, draining their bank accounts. Republicans did nothing about it. I mean who steals money from a children's cancer charity? Republicans did nothing about it. At last, he's facing consequences for trying to undermine U.S. democracy by pulling all stops to snatch an election he knew was lost. He even went to the extent of calling for the dismantling of the U.S. Constitution, which he vowed to defend. Republicans did nothing about it. If you still believe he's innocent, the problem isn't with him; it's you. You are in a cult. Republicans did nothing about this cult-like following. Several of Donald Trump's former Cabinet members and close allies have openly declared they won't support him in future elections, each providing their own reasons for this stance. Here's a quick rundown of their views: Mike Pence: The ex-Vice President isn't endorsing Trump for the 2024 race, pointing to "profound differences" that go beyond their January 6 disagreement, including Trump's views on TikTok, abortion, and national debt management. John Bolton: The former National Security Adviser won't vote for Trump or Biden, planning to choose a conservative Republican instead. He's voiced concerns over Trump's suitability for office and his foreign policy moves. James Mattis: The former Defense Secretary has critiqued Trump for dividing Americans and questioned his leadership and its impact on national unity. Mark Esper: Trump's second Defense Secretary considers him unfit for office, citing Trump's self-interest and lack of integrity. Rex Tillerson: The ex-Secretary of State has been critical of Trump's grasp on global events and history, suggesting he's unprepared and uninformed. John Kelly: Trump's longest-serving Chief of Staff has criticized Trump's personality and leadership style. Mick Mulvaney: The former Chief of Staff prefers someone else as the GOP nominee, doubting Trump's chances against Biden in a general election. Dan Coats: The former Director of National Intelligence is backing Mike Pence in the GOP primary over Trump. Jeff Sessions: Despite supporting Trump's agenda, the former Attorney General has had conflicts with Trump, especially over the Russia investigation and his recusal from it. Olivia Troye: A former Pence advisor, Troye has slammed Trump's COVID-19 response, accusing him of putting reelection before public health. Miles Taylor: Describing his time in the Trump administration as "terrifying," the former DHS chief of staff has endorsed Biden, citing Trump's threat to the country. Elizabeth Neumann: The ex-Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism at DHS has accused Trump of worsening the domestic terrorism threat and declared her vote for Biden. Anthony Scaramucci: The short-lived White House Communications Director supports Biden, critiquing Trump's leadership and policies. These individuals cite various concerns about Trump's leadership, policy decisions, integrity, and the negative effects on the country's unity and security as reasons for withdrawing their support for his future political endeavor! If these individuals, all handpicked by you, refuse to vote for you, then why should anyone believe anything you say? Trump's other 'achievements': -Gave over $1.7 TRILLION (5 times student relief) in tax breaks to the ultrarich. Republicans did nothing about the inequality it exacerbated. $7.8 TRILLION added to the deficit. Nothing but 8 miles of new wall Mexico was supposed to pay. Republicans did nothing about this fiscal irresponsibility. -$150 Million for golf. Republicans did nothing about this misuse of funds. -Had to be praised every 5 minutes. Republicans did nothing about this egoism. -Lied over 30,000 times in 4 years. Republicans did nothing about these falsehoods. -Kissed Putin's behind in Helsinki in front of the world. Republicans did nothing about this display of subservience. -Got impeached twice in one term :). Republicans did nothing to hold him accountable. -Asked for dirt on his opponent, twice. Republicans did nothing about these unethical requests. -Tried everything to steal our election. Republicans did nothing to safeguard our democratic processes. -Taxpayers overpaid for his secret service $1200 per night staying at his properties. Republicans did nothing about this profiteering. -Gave Taliban their leader & 5K soldiers, with no exit plan for May 2021. Republicans did nothing about this strategic blunder. -His campaign chair, NSA chief & others were indicted/pardoned. Republicans did nothing about this corruption. -Called himself THE CHOSEN1! :)). Republicans did nothing about this messianic complex. -Pleaded the 5th 440 times. Republicans did nothing about this evasion of accountability. -Took over $250 million from his supporters when he left office for "Defense Fund" to pay his own personal bills. Republicans did nothing about this exploitation. -Stole our national secrets for who knows why. Many top secret empty folders. Republicans did nothing about this breach of national security. -Met with Putin with no recordings. Republicans did nothing about this lack of transparency. Trump's Taxing Concerns in China: The New York Times unveiled Trump paying over $188,000 in taxes to China between 2013-2015, while maintaining an undisclosed bank account there. He paid more taxes to China than in the U.S. Spot the issue? Republicans did nothing about this financial conflict of interest. Shady Transactions Post White House: His son-in-law, despite failing a White House security clearance, received $3.1 billion from a foreign government right after leaving office. Questions, anyone? Republicans did nothing about these dubious dealings. Allegations of Trump's Criminal Acts: Republicans did nothing about these numerous allegations of criminal misconduct. Trump's Ties to Russia: Republicans did nothing about these troubling connections and implications for national security. 4th Indictment Against Trump: Republicans did nothing about these accusations of election tampering and abuse of power. Third Indictment: Conspiracy to Defraud the US: Accused of unlawfully disrupting the 2020 election by making fraudulent claims and pressuring officials. Republicans did nothing about this blatant disregard for electoral integrity. -Obstructing an Official Proceeding: Accused of hindering Congress's January 6 certification of election results. Republicans did nothing about this direct threat to our democratic process. -Obstruction of Official Proceeding: Alleged to have impeded certification by pressuring Pence and inciting the Capitol riot. Republicans did nothing about this dangerous escalation of political tension. -Conspiracy Against Rights: Accused of intimidating election officials and disenfranchising voters. Republicans did nothing about these serious threats to voter rights. Second Indictment Highlights: -Knowledge and Intent: Accused of withholding subpoenaed documents, suggesting possible illegal intent. Republicans did nothing about this obstruction of justice. -Obstruction of Justice: Allegedly kept unauthorized documents hidden from the National Archives. Republicans did nothing about this breach of protocol. -Evidence Depth: Varied evidence indicates illegal document acquisition and concealment attempts. Republicans did nothing about these potentially criminal actions. Additional Notes: -Document Selection: The 31 indictment documents were likely chosen for relevance. Republicans did nothing to address the significance of these selections. We can and do deserve better than these DO-NOTHING Republicans with their America First slogan. Our diversity is our STRENGTH, not a flaw. Republicans did nothing to embrace or celebrate this diversity, instead often standing in opposition to it.

What if I told you ripple:native just moved closer to a financial universe doing $17.5 TRILLION in FX and interest-rate derivatives every single day? I’m not talking about some random prediction. I’m talking about BIS Working Paper No. 1374. This is going to be a long read, because the headline barely scratches the surface. Four of the five authors work at the Bank for International Settlements, and instead of only mentioning XRP Ledger in theory, the researchers actually built, tested and published an open-source XRPL-based prototype. That distinction matters. This is a research implementation, not a production BIS deployment. But the technical choice itself is what caught me. The researchers needed a public blockchain that could help prove official economic and financial data had not been altered. They chose XRP Ledger. And they explained why: low fees, fast finality, developer resources and existing research around its consensus system. This wasn’t somebody adding an XRP logo to a presentation. They built the gateway. They created XRPL transactions. They used institutional anchoring wallets. They put cryptographic proofs inside transaction memos. They linked publisher identities to XRPL addresses. They retrieved those transactions again during verification. Then they measured how the system performed. Median publication latency came in around 3–5 seconds. Verification took around 1–2 seconds. That is where my brain immediately went beyond the headline. Because what exactly were they trying to verify? The kind of information the entire financial system runs on. -Inflation. -GDP. -Interest rates. -Banking statistics. -Debt information. -Financial-stability data. -Regulatory reporting. Imagine a central bank publishes an inflation number. Today that number gets copied everywhere. -Websites. -News terminals. -Databases. -Screenshots. -AI models. -Trading systems. Once it spreads across the internet, how does another machine independently prove that the number it received is exactly what the institution originally published? That is the problem BIS researchers were attacking. Their model creates a cryptographic fingerprint of the official dataset. Individual statistical series can receive fingerprints too. Those hashes are combined through a Merkle tree. A final Merkle root gets anchored to XRPL. The underlying economic data do not need to be dumped onto the blockchain. XRPL simply keeps the proof. Think of it like this: The official institution publishes the document. XRPL holds the tamper-proof receipt. Someone changes even one part of the underlying file? The cryptographic fingerprint changes. Now a bank, regulator, investor, trading engine or AI agent can check: Is this the original data? Has it been changed? Did it really come from the institution claiming to publish it? And that second part is where this paper gets even more serious. The BIS prototype combines the data proof with a W3C Verifiable Credential for the publisher. The publisher’s cryptographic identity is connected to an XRPL address. The paper even uses the format: did:xrpl: So you are not only verifying the information. You are verifying who published it. Now picture a financial world where machines can check both automatically. A central bank publishes CPI. A model receives it. Before touching money, the software checks XRPL. Correct file. Correct publisher. No alteration. Then it acts. That sounds simple until you realize what financial markets actually do with official data. -Rates move. -Currencies move. -Bond prices move. -Derivatives reprice. -Collateral requirements change. -Loans reset. -Inflation-linked instruments adjust. -Portfolio risk changes. And this is where BIS Working Paper 1374 stops being a boring statistics paper for me. Because the authors themselves discuss putting verified information beside digital financial assets. They specifically mention: -CBDCs -stablecoins -tokenized deposits -derivatives. That one section changes the entire way I look at this. The vision is not simply: “Put a hash on a blockchain.” It becomes: verified economic information + digital money + tokenized assets + automated execution. Now remember what Ripple has been building around XRPL. -Multi-Purpose Tokens. -Credentials. -Permissioned Domains. -Permissioned DEX infrastructure. -Confidential Transfers. -Stablecoins. -Institutional lending. -Tokenized collateral. -FX. -Onchain credit. And Ripple has repeatedly positioned XRP across payments, liquidity and credit. Now put those pieces beside what the BIS researchers are exploring. An official institution needs an identity. XRPL can represent identity and credentials. A regulated participant needs permission to enter a market. XRPL is building permissioned infrastructure. A bond needs trustworthy economic information. The BIS prototype shows one way that information can be authenticated through XRPL. A financial asset needs a digital representation. XRPL is being built for tokenization. A transaction needs money. Stablecoins and tokenized deposits can provide the cash side. Then all those different assets need liquidity. That is where ripple:native becomes much more interesting to me. But before getting there, look at the scale surrounding BIS itself. The BIS does not process the world’s $9.6 trillion of daily FX transactions. It measures that market through its Triennial Central Bank Survey. That distinction matters. According to the numbers in the context here: global OTC FX turnover = $9.6 TRILLION every day. Then add: OTC interest-rate derivatives turnover = $7.9 TRILLION every day. Together: $17.5 TRILLION per day. Just the FX number annualized across roughly 250 trading days comes to around: $2.4 QUADRILLION per year. That is the financial universe BIS research sits over. -Currencies. -Banks. -Central banks. -FX swaps. -Rates. -Derivatives. -Cross-border capital. -Collateral. -Dollar funding. And researchers inside that institution just chose XRP Ledger for an actual technical prototype. That is why I keep telling people not to reduce this to transaction fees. Yes, the worked example uses an XRPL Payment transaction. Yes, the reference cost is only: 10 drops = 0.00001 XRP. Yes, transaction fees on XRPL are destroyed. So if this kind of anchoring eventually ran on mainnet, publishing data itself would consume XRP. But that is not the part that gets me excited. The fee is intentionally tiny. The much bigger question is: What happens when verified information starts triggering financial activity on the same broader infrastructure? The paper itself talks about: inflation-linked products perpetual futures tokenized financial instruments derivative settlement interest payments automated compliance and even: automated monetary-policy applications. Now we are talking about information causing money to move. Imagine an inflation-linked bond. The government publishes inflation. That release gets cryptographically anchored. The bond checks the proof. The CPI number is verified. The contract adjusts what is owed. Digital cash settles the payment. No one has to manually copy a number from a website into another system. No one has to blindly trust a third-party data feed. The financial instrument can verify the economic input itself. That is the idea I keep coming back to: self-verifying finance. And the researchers even discuss using the XRPL EVM-compatible sidechain for more advanced applications where data verification and programmable financial execution exist in the same broader ecosystem. They mention: access controls, permissioning, automated compliance, multisignature requirements, oracle integration, programmable validation. Now connect that with Ripple’s institutional roadmap. Credentials can prove who a participant is. Permissioned Domains can define who belongs inside a regulated environment. Tokenized assets can represent financial instruments. RLUSD can represent digital dollar liquidity. Lending can make those assets productive. XRP can provide native network resources and, where economically useful, liquidity between fragmented assets. That is a very different picture of XRPL than the one people were arguing about years ago. It is not simply: “Can XRP send a payment quickly?” The question becomes: Can XRPL sit underneath parts of a machine-readable financial system? And Working Paper 1374 just gave that question much more weight for me. There is another section that barely gets discussed. The architecture is not limited to one data publisher. The researchers designed a multi-publisher system. Different institutions can create their own Merkle roots. Those roots can be combined into one larger super-root. One XRPL transaction can anchor that shared proof. Yet each publisher remains independently accountable for its own data. Now imagine the participants. Central Bank A. Central Bank B. Regulator C. Statistical Office D. International Organization E. One public verification system. Different publishers. Independent cryptographic accountability. That begins to resemble infrastructure for cross-border public-sector data exchange. And the paper’s own conclusion talks about trustworthy exchange among: national statistical offices central banks international organizations. Then look at who already uses the statistical standard the paper builds around. SDMX is sponsored by institutions including: BIS European Central Bank Eurostat International Monetary Fund OECD United Nations World Bank Group International Labour Organization. That does not mean those institutions are adopting XRPL. But it tells you something important about the design philosophy. The researchers did not create a blockchain system that requires the existing financial world to throw everything away. They designed it to sit underneath an existing institutional standard. That matters a lot. Because the easiest technology to adopt is often the technology that does not force everyone to rebuild from zero. Existing systems can continue publishing. XRPL can provide the cryptographic proof underneath. Then comes BIS Open Tech. The paper says the open-source reference implementation is being released as a prototype through BIS Open Tech and the SDMX community. That means other institutions can inspect it. Reuse it. Modify it. Build on it. This is how technical ideas can spread inside serious institutions. Not through hype. Through code. Documentation. Standards. Reuse. That is the kind of adoption path I pay attention to. Then there is the AI angle. This is where the whole thesis becomes almost unfairly interesting. The authors explicitly discuss AI agents. An AI system receives economic information. Instead of blindly trusting what it scraped from somewhere, it can ask: Is this data authentic? It checks the XRPL proof. Valid? Continue. Invalid? Do nothing. Now compare that with what Ripple launched in June 2026: the XRPL AI Starter Kit, designed around autonomous agents making payments with XRP and RLUSD. Two completely separate directions suddenly sit beside each other. BIS research: AI verifies information through XRPL. Ripple ecosystem: AI moves value through XRPL. Now imagine both ideas eventually meeting. An agent receives official inflation data. It verifies the release cryptographically. It recalculates risk. It reprices a bond. It adjusts collateral. It changes an FX position. It executes a payment. It settles in RLUSD. It routes through XRP where XRP is the best available liquidity path. That is machine-native finance. And now go back to the scale. The BIS 2025 Triennial Survey says: $9.6T/day FX. The dollar appears on one side of 89% of FX trades. The euro is involved in 28.9%. The Japanese yen in 16.8%. FX swaps alone are around $4T every day. Then another $7.9T/day exists in OTC interest-rate derivatives turnover. Think about what happens if only part of those markets becomes tokenized. Digital USD deposits. Digital EUR deposits. Tokenized JPY. RLUSD. CBDCs. Tokenized Treasuries. Interest-rate derivatives. FX derivatives. Collateral. Money-market instruments. The first problem is getting the assets onchain. The second is verifying the information those assets depend on. The third is moving liquidity between all the different forms of value. This BIS paper attacks the second problem using XRPL. Ripple has spent years attacking the first and third. That is why the combination gets my attention. And you do not need XRPL to capture the whole market for the numbers to become enormous. For scale only: 0.1% of $9.6T daily FX turnover = $9.6B per day. 1% = $96B per day. Again, that is not a forecast. It shows what even tiny percentages mean when the underlying market is measured in trillions every day. And that is only FX. It does not include the additional $7.9T/day of interest-rate derivatives turnover BIS measures. This is where the XRP liquidity thesis changes from a crypto argument into a market-structure argument. Suppose the future has hundreds of tokenized currencies and financial products. Every possible pair cannot maintain perfect direct liquidity. USD token / EUR token. EUR token / JPY token. JPY token / RLUSD. RLUSD / Treasury token. Treasury token / derivative. Derivative / deposit token. The combinations explode. A common intermediate asset becomes useful whenever routing through it provides a better market. That is where XRP’s role becomes interesting. Not replacing the dollar. Not replacing the euro. Not replacing CBDCs. Not replacing bank deposits. Connecting liquidity between them when that route makes economic sense. Now imagine the system is automated. No trader needs to shout: “Use XRP.” Software looks at: price, spread, depth, settlement, availability. If the XRP path wins, the software uses XRP. That is the outcome I care about. Machine-selected liquidity. And if those transactions grow large enough, the XRP market itself has to change. Institutional market makers need inventory. Liquidity providers need inventory. Prime brokers need financing capacity. Order books need deeper capital. Large transactions need to clear without huge price impact. That is where the price thesis becomes different from retail speculation. If XRP ever helps support institutional flows inside markets measured in trillions per day, the relevant question is not: “How many retail holders bought today?” It becomes: How much dollar liquidity does the XRP market need to represent? That is an entirely different valuation conversation. There is one more thing I think people are missing. BIS Working Paper 1374 does not only talk about SDMX statistics. The researchers say the same architecture can extend to: XBRL regulatory filings FINREP COREP and other forms of structured official information. Now imagine banks submitting regulatory reports that receive immutable XRPL proofs. The bank cannot quietly change an old filing later. The regulator can verify the exact version. Auditors can verify it. Another authority can verify it. AI software can consume it. One system can prove both: who submitted the data and whether it changed. That gives XRPL a potential role far beyond payments. It starts touching the information layer of finance. And this is why the line “BIS used XRP Ledger” actually undersells the paper. What happened is more specific. Researchers inside BIS took a real institutional problem. They selected XRPL. They built a working implementation. They measured performance. They published the code direction. Then they explored how authenticated data could coexist with: CBDCs, stablecoins, tokenized deposits, derivatives, AI agents, automated financial instruments. That is what I am bullish on. Not a logo. Not a rumor. Not a screenshot. Technical work. And when I look at the direction Ripple is independently pushing XRPL, the overlap is hard for me to ignore. Trusted identities. Verified information. Regulated participants. Tokenized assets. Digital money. Automated execution. Credit. Collateral. FX. Liquidity. AI. Put together, the long-term architecture can look like this: Official institutions publish information. XRPL anchors the proof. Banks and regulators verify it. AI consumes it. Tokenized instruments use it. Stablecoins and tokenized deposits provide cash. Institutional markets execute trades. XRP supplies native network resources and can supply cross-asset liquidity where the route makes sense. That is not simply a faster payment network. That starts looking like part of a digital financial operating system. And then remember where this conversation is happening. Inside the research world of the institution that measures: $9.6 trillion of FX turnover every day plus $7.9 trillion of interest-rate derivatives turnover every day. A combined: $17.5 TRILLION DAILY. No, that is not XRPL volume. No, BIS does not process those trades. The significance is that BIS researchers just tested XRP Ledger while working inside the institutional world surrounding markets of that size. That is the fact. And now I’m asking the question that matters to me as an ripple:native holder: What happens if XRPL earns even a small role inside the tokenized version of that financial system? Because 0.1% of a trillion-dollar market is not small. And this market is not one trillion. It is trillions every single day. That is why Working Paper 1374 changed the scale of the conversation for me. For years, people asked whether XRP could become part of the future financial system. Now researchers inside the BIS have taken XRP Ledger, built institutional infrastructure on it, and explicitly discussed a future combining trusted information with digital money and programmable financial assets. We are still at the prototype stage. But for me, the direction is the real story. The next financial system will need trusted data, tokenized assets, automated execution and deep liquidity. XRPL is now showing up in all four conversations. And XRP sits natively underneath the network where those pieces can eventually meet. $17.5T a day. Now look at your ripple:native bag again. Enough?

Canada has fallen a long way in a very short time and the evidence is everywhere for anyone willing to look without the rose colored glasses the government keeps handing out. What used to be one of the safest wealthiest and freest countries on earth now feels like a place where basic order affordability and common sense have been deliberately sacrificed on the altar of ideology and political vanity. Start with the streets themselves. Violent crime has exploded upward fifty percent since the middle of the last decade. Homicides are up nearly forty percent sexual assaults have almost doubled and home invasions in major cities have tripled in some years. Auto theft has become so routine that insurance companies treat it like weather. None of this is random. A huge share of these crimes are committed by people who were already out on bail or probation when they struck again. In Saskatchewan almost half the people charged with murder in a recent year were on judicial release at the time. Across the country hundreds of murders have been committed by individuals the system had already caught and then let walk. The phrase catch and release is not hyperbole it is the lived reality of police officers victims and anyone paying attention. The bail disaster traces directly to Bill C75 passed in 2019 under the banner of progressive reform. That law turned the principle of restraint in custody into a default preference for release no matter how violent or repeat the offender. Judges were told to find alternatives to detention and the result was entirely predictable. Roughly seventy percent of accused now get bail even when they have long records and even when the new charges involve guns drugs or serious violence. When foreign nationals commit crimes that should trigger automatic deportation the same broken process applies. They get bail they disappear and the Canada Border Services Agency admits hundreds of convicted foreign criminals are currently unaccounted for inside the country. Some have convictions for sexual assault or trafficking yet they walk free while their removal orders gather dust in a backlog that never shrinks. Cost of living has become a daily punishment. Groceries for a family of four now run close to fourteen hundred dollars a month and that number keeps climbing even as headline inflation supposedly cools. Rent in every major city has risen between twenty and fifty percent in five years while wages have barely moved. Household debt sits at the highest level in the G7 and mortgage renewals at five percent plus interest rates are about to crush another wave of families. Food bank use has doubled tent cities sprawl in parks that used to be safe for children and one in four Canadian kids now lives in a household that cannot reliably put food on the table. The carbon tax alone added hundreds of dollars a year to heating and fuel costs for the average home before it was finally paused in a panic last year. None of the promised rebates ever covered the real hit especially for rural families and low income workers. Free speech the thing Canada used to brag about has been systematically strangled. The government passed Bill C11 giving itself power to regulate what algorithms show Canadians online. It tried to pass Bill C63 which would have allowed house arrest for things people might say in the future. And through Bill C18 it created the absurd situation where news from legitimate Canadian outlets is still banned on Facebook and Instagram more than two years later. Ottawa knew Meta would block news rather than pay the forced link tax and they passed the law anyway. When the blackout hit they shrugged and blamed the company. The result is that millions of Canadians get their information from random memes influencers and conspiracy accounts while local journalism dies and emergency alerts during wildfires get buried under cat videos. The same government that claims to defend democracy has engineered a system where the largest public square in the country is deliberately stripped of verifiable news. Corruption and unaccountability are no longer exceptions they are the operating model. Politicians face ethics investigations and simply prorogue Parliament to kill them. Contracts worth hundreds of millions go to connected insiders with no competitive bid. A single two person consulting firm with no employees managed to bill the government more than a hundred million dollars for work it subcontracted out at massive markups. Green slush funds handed out four hundred million dollars with almost two hundred conflicts of interest. Banks launder money for foreign cartels and pay fines in other countries while no executive here sees a courtroom. The ethics commissioner issues reports that go nowhere because the office has no real power. Scandals that would end careers in any serious democracy are treated as minor public relations problems to be managed until the news cycle moves on. Healthcare waits have become a national humiliation. The median wait time from referral to treatment is now over thirty weeks longer than anywhere else in the developed world. Two and a half million people have no family doctor. People die on wait lists for heart surgery and cancer care while the system pushes medical assistance in dying as a cost saving measure. Mental health supports are a cruel joke with waits measured in years not months. Immigration policy turned a manageable program into a population tsunami that outran every piece of infrastructure the country had. Temporary residents alone now exceed three million people many working low wage jobs that used to go to young Canadians. Housing construction never kept pace rents soared and the feel of entire neighborhoods changed overnight. The government finally admitted the scale was unsustainable and began slashing numbers but the damage is done and the reversal is slow. Taken together these failures paint a picture of a country that has chosen ideology over competence control over freedom and short term political wins over long term national health. The people in charge spent a decade telling Canadians everything was fine while debt exploded crime surged speech narrowed and the basic social contract frayed. Trust in institutions sits at historic lows and anger is no longer fringe it is mainstream. Canada is not broken beyond repair but the longer the current path continues the harder the eventual correction will be. The evidence is overwhelming the country most of us grew up in has been radically and deliberately transformed and not for the better.
