Anyone who tells you that blockchains “eliminate the need for Swift” has no idea what they’re talking about Swift is not a payment network, it’s an interbank messaging network Their SwiftNet private key infrastructure and banking messaging standards like ISO20022 are used by 11,000+ banks globally to facilitate the communication of payment instructions between banks Imagine taking 11,000 banks, who already have private keys and standardized formats for messaging, and connecting them to blockchains in a way they can re-use all of this existing infrastructure and messaging standards That’s exactly what Swift and Chainlink have been working on for years Last year, Swift published a report on how Chainlink CCIP can successfully connect Swift-member banks to any public/private blockchain using their existing infrastructure and messaging standards (12+ of the largest global financial institutions and FMIs were involved): Just yesterday, Swift published an article on how they’re moving forward on real-world solutions that will enable Swift members banks to access/transact with tokenized assets / currencies on the Swift network They note this builds upon their prior work, which they’re now advancing to the next stage (they explicitly link to their work with Chainlink): Swift isn’t going away, and their involvement in the blockchain ecosystem will massively accelerate the adoption of tokenized assets / currencies / stablecoins within the financial system Attached clip of Sergey Nazarov explaining this at Consensus 2024 on stage with Swift’s Jack Pouderoyen (Digital Assets & Currencies at Swift) I wonder how much longer this misconception about blockchain “killing” Swift will continue to persist in our industry I recommend paying attention to Sibos 2024

Private transactions between wallets now possible on Solana using ZERAs Private Cash Addresses. A closer look at last week’s MVP drop: Private P2P. Most "privacy" on Solana still falls back to withdraw-to-address (recipient + metadata leaks) or multi-step send flows that leave trails. Our P2P is different: one atomic in-pool transaction, the sender’s note is nullified, and two new encrypted notes are created, all inside the vault. No stepping out. No re-deposit choreography. Why it’s so hard to deanonymize: ✅ Your Private Cash Address has zero link to your Solana wallet: it’s an X25519 keypair derived from a wallet signature, and the public key becomes your private address. ✅ Notes are encrypted with NaCl box using a fresh ephemeral key every send, meaning even two payments to the same person looks unrelated. ✅ Recipients discover incoming notes via trial decryption, the chain never learns "who owns what." While we have immense respect for those building privacy on Solana, we are proud to be the first to achieve one-shot, in-pool P2P with full privacy. To our knowledge, this remains an industry first. This is the difference between hiding balances inside a pool and moving value privately between people. Note: Right now, the sender’s wallet still signs the private transaction, so on-chain you can see that a wallet performed a P2P action, but the amount and recipient remain private. The upcoming P2P Relayer removes that footprint too, completing the "cash-style" flow with no on-chain sender trace. What’s coming next: ✅ More assets: At least SOL + ZERA alongside USDC. ✅ P2P Relayer: A decentralized signing/relaying network that can submit transactions for you — enabling withdrawals with minimal linkage after the initial deposit, and removing the sender’s on-chain P2P footprint. Try it out in the ZERA Dashboard below ⤵️

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

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

Why The Shadow Banking System Could Trigger The Next Major Crisis Please ❤️like, bookmark🔖, and 🔁share with fellow investors In this Short video, Danielle Danielle DiMartino Booth and Adam Taggart discuss why the shadow banking system—not traditional banks—could become the source of the next major financial crisis. * Private credit may have disappeared from the headlines, but that doesn't mean the risks have disappeared with it. In this discussion, the focus shifts beyond private credit itself to the much larger theme—the shadow banking system—and why it could become the next major source of financial instability. * Companies have raised a record $251 billion through equity sales in the first half of the year. That surge has also drawn renewed attention to private equity, which sits at the center of the private credit ecosystem. The concern isn't simply the size of private credit—it's whether the underlying private asset valuations are realistic. * A key issue is the feedback loop between private and public markets. Many public companies own private investments, and gains from those holdings can boost reported earnings. If those private assets are being valued too aggressively, investors have to ask whether the "E" in the P/E ratio is as solid as it appears. Inflated valuations can support stronger earnings, higher stock prices, and more capital raising, creating a cycle that works well until confidence begins to crack. * Although fears around private credit have faded in recent months, Danielle argues that the market has simply moved into an "acceptance phase," not a resolution phase. The structural problems remain, but investors have largely stopped talking about them. * Meanwhile, non-bank financial institutions now control roughly $258 trillion in assets, representing more than half of global financial assets and exceeding the size of the traditional regulated banking system. Unlike banks, these institutions operate with far less transparency and oversight, making it much harder to assess the true level of risk. * At the same time, higher interest rates continue to pressure borrowers. Public company bankruptcies are already running about 40% higher than a year ago, suggesting financial stress is building. If publicly traded companies are struggling under today's financing conditions, the health of private companies—where financial information is far less accessible—remains a major unknown. * Danielle rates concern about private markets at roughly a 7–8 out of 10 now. The combination of opaque valuations, rising bankruptcies, higher-for-longer interest rates, and the enormous size of the shadow banking system creates a meaningful systemic risk. While this doesn't guarantee another financial crisis, it highlights an area that many investors may be underestimating simply because it has faded from the daily news cycle. #privatecredit #privateequity 💡 Get access to my notes with the key takeaways from this interview with Danielle Danielle DiMartino Booth by visiting my Substack (link below) ⬇️

Tom Lee: Ethereum DATs can use ~$500 million in annual staking rewards to fund grants for Ethereum ecosystem “The Ethereum Treasuries — Bitmine and Sharplink among others — now own 7% of the Ethereum supply… Treasury stock is essentially supply permanently taken out from the ecosystem, but we also own the yield. The yield is around 3% so today these public treasuries are generating ~$500 million in rewards, and that is what we can use to fund and grant the crypto ecosystem.” Lee believes that the Ethereum Foundation narrowing its focus to CROPs (censorship resistance, openness, privacy and security) is the right decision. “Ethereum is a $240 billion network value entity. It has been operating for 11 years without a single day of downtime. There’s 11,500 nodes in 89 different countries. And there’s 15,000 developers. I think this is too big to be coordinated by a single foundation.” As Ethereum continues to scale, he believes the ecosystem will move beyond a foundation-centric model and points to private companies like Etherealize, Optimism, Consensys, Enterprise Ethereum Alliance, and Offchain Labs that represent the Ethereum ecosystem and are already doing enterprise engagement. “This list doesn’t yet reflect the spinoffs coming from the Ethereum Foundation. There’s at least five, and I think Bitmine will play a role in granting and supporting any of those that come out.” “I think Ethereum is in good hands because the foundation is going to be stronger by staying focused. We have a lot of private sector companies already building products and important L2s on Ethereum. And of course, the treasuries are here to help with funding and granting… If you’re bearish, you are selling at the bottom.”

🌋 Today Is the Moment Crypto Became Part of U.S. Banking Today, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency issued conditional approvals for national trust bank charters tied to crypto and digital assets, including Ripple, Circle, Fidelity Digital Assets, Paxos, and BitGo. The federal banking system is changing in real time. Two new national trust banks: • Ripple National Trust Bank • First National Digital Currency Bank (Circle) Three state trust companies converting to federal banks: • Fidelity Digital Assets • Paxos • BitGo A national trust bank is a federally chartered institution focused on custody, trust, and fiduciary services, not retail deposits. That places crypto custody and stablecoin infrastructure directly under OCC supervision, instead of fragmented state-by-state frameworks. Zoom out and the pattern is clear: • DTCC approved to tokenize DTC-custodied assets • OCC confirms banks can buy and sell crypto for clients • Stablecoins gain regulatory clarity • Now crypto trust banking goes federal One detail worth paying attention to: BitGo, now moving into the federal banking perimeter, is also a Hedera Governing Council member. That puts a federally regulated crypto custodian directly inside the governance of a public network already being used for enterprise and government use cases. At the same time, Hedera’s end-of-year community call brings together network leadership, council voices, and technical leads to discuss enterprise adoption, real-world deployments, and what scales next. From the filings: • Circle’s charter supports USDC reserve and collateral management • Ripple’s charter supports RLUSD and institutional digital asset custody Worth noting: Ripple Custody already supports multiple networks, including HBAR, SOL, ADA, BTC, ETH, XLM, and others. This is not about one chain. It’s not about hype or short-term price action. It’s about regulated financial plumbing being installed inside the U.S. banking system. Crypto isn’t knocking on the door anymore. It’s being wired into the foundation.
