The Stellar Blockchain is going private! Smart contract development firm @OpenZeppelin has announced that contracts for @StellarOrg v0.8 are now live on its platform. The update is exciting because it allows devs to add a confidential layer on top of any SEP-41 token, effectively ushering in a generation of private assets on the fast-growing L1.

MoneyGram is joining @XDCNetwork as an institutional validator, taking an active role in securing the network. This is another step in our goal to build a more open infrastructure for global money movement.

🔥STRONG Tokenized RWA metrics in $XDC ecosystem XDC TVL = $1.8B XDC MCap = $697M XDC RWA Count: 2,004 There's TONS of room to grow here But looking at the actual adoption metrics... 2 RWA entities alone have tokenized ~$1.5B in RWA value on XDC alone. These two are Liqi Brazil and VERT Capital. What's interesting is both cases actually come out of Brazil, an area we've seen XDC developing around Liqi Brazil themselves have already brought on over 1,900 total RWAs onto the XDC ecosystem And VERT Capital's initial partnership announcement with XDC had mentioned up to $1B in total RWAs too We can see from the RWA asset class list that Private Credit dominates the XDC RWA market share With over 71% share that's surprising as we often see stablecoins dominate most L1s TVL/RWA lists. But in XDC's case we're seeing actual RWAs heavily outnumber that. Most of crypto is still sleeping on what XDC is actually doing in regards to real world utility. RWAs are just one part to their bigger mission of bringing trade finance on-chain. As we've since also seen Agentic AI use and deployment across the ecosystem. These are the exact numbers you want to see out of something that's actually building. Not just fake hype on-chain metrics Actual deployment of real world institutional products ––––– Whether it's AI, RWAs, stablecoins or digitalization. We're seeing digital trade all come together on XDC.

AI is moving beyond conversation. It’s beginning to transact. Last week, we partnered with @awscloud to host The Capital Stack for Agentic AI at XDC’s NYC headquarters. We brought together founders, investors, and enterprise leaders to explore what it takes to bring agentic AI into the real economy. A huge thank you to AWS’s Anil Nadiminti and Marcellus Martin, alongside XDC Co-founder @atulkhekade, for sharing their perspectives on agentic commerce, payments, and the infrastructure powering what’s next. The next wave of AI isn’t just about intelligence. It’s about execution.

🇮🇱🇺🇸 Israel warns of possible attacks on US bases in Europe Israel alerted the US military to intelligence warning of possible Iran linked attacks on bases in Europe, according to a report attributed to The New York Times. The sites named include RAF Fairford in Britain and Ramstein and Spangdahlem in Germany. The warning concerns a possible attack, not one that has taken place.

Yes, blockchain technology will start a “flywheel of INFINITE VALUE CREATION” for financial services.🏦📈 Watch.🍿👇

🧵 Stronghold might be one of the most overlooked branches of the Ripple–Stellar family tree. Before $SHX, before @IBM and before @strongholdpay even existed, @ItsSeanBennett was already building on @Ripple. Then @StellarOrg launched. Within hours, he was building its first anchor. That’s where the Stronghold story really begins. 👇 Stronghold’s own history says Bennett began building a gateway on Ripple in 2013. When Stellar launched in 2014, he created Coinex, described by Stronghold as the network’s first anchor. At the same time, @TammyCamp was Stellar’s Head of Growth. That connection matters. Camp and Bennett say they discovered their shared vision through their work on Stellar in 2014. Three years later, they founded Stronghold to connect traditional settlement rails with blockchain-based payments. Stronghold didn’t discover Stellar later. Its roots were already inside the early Ripple–Stellar payments ecosystem. Then came IBM. @strongholdpay says @IBM became its first client. In 2018, Stronghold USD launched on Stellar. It was later used for instant USD settlement by participants in IBM Blockchain World Wire. So this wasn’t simply another stablecoin experiment. Stronghold was already sitting at the intersection of @StellarOrg, enterprise payments and tokenized dollars. And then the Ripple connection resurfaced. Stronghold lists Xpring, now RippleX, among the investors that supported its growth. Think about the historical loop: Sean Bennett → Ripple → Stellar → Stronghold and later: Ripple/Xpring → Stronghold The ecosystems often presented as competitors were connected through people, capital and infrastructure much earlier than many realize. Now look at what Stronghold became. In 2024, @NachaOnline named Stronghold a Preferred Partner for ACH Experience and ISO 20022. Stronghold provides embedded pay-by-bank infrastructure and uses ISO 20022 messaging across payment workflows, including treasury reporting and payment acceptance. It means Stronghold itself operates payment infrastructure using the standard. So where does $SHX actually fit? According to Stronghold, SHX is used across its ecosystem for: • merchant and customer rewards • liquidity for Merchant Financing • governance And there is an actual economic mechanism behind that utility. SHX governance approved burning 70% of a Merchant Cash Advance origination fee, with the remaining 30% going to pool contributors. That proposal was implemented in April 2024. The governance layer has continued evolving too. SHX holders have voted on governance rules, smart-contract recording of votes, locked SHX and delegated voting power. One proposal moved governance votes from multiple ledgers toward a unified smart contract on Stellar. So @StellarOrg remains important beneath the increasingly multi-chain SHX architecture. And here comes one of my favorite twists. SHX started with Stellar. It later expanded to Ethereum and Solana. And now SHX has also bridged to the XRP Ledger, following a community governance vote, using Squid and Axelar. So after all these years, the historical circle gets another layer: Ripple → Bennett → Stellar → Stronghold → SHX → XRPL. 👀 The documented history is very interesting. @strongholdpay grew out of people who were there during the formative years of blockchain payments. Ripple. Stellar. IBM. Xpring/RippleX. Nacha. And now XRPL again. Different relationships. Different periods. But a remarkable amount of infrastructure history converging around one company. Maybe the most interesting thing about $SHX isn’t its market cap. Maybe it’s where Stronghold came from, what it has built, and how much of the early Ripple–Stellar payment story still lives inside it.

🐀|Netanyahu Says Britain and France Invented Colonialism, So They Can't Criticize Israel. He's Right. And That's Exactly Why They Should. He stood at the UN and said it: "They accuse Israel, tiny Israel, of colonialism? Who's accusing us? Britain and France. For God's sake, they invented the term. Their colonies braced the entire globe. Colonialism? Give us a break!" He thinks he's making a point. He's actually making a confession. Yes, Britain and France Invented Colonialism. And Israel Is Practicing It Right Now. Britain colonized India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Burma, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Egypt, Sudan, Iraq, Palestine, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States. France colonized Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Senegal, Mali, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Niger, Chad, Central African Republic, Congo, Gabon, Benin, Togo, Cameroon, Madagascar, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Syria, and Lebanon. Yes. They invented modern colonialism. They drew borders. They stole resources. They enslaved millions. They killed millions more. They did it for centuries. And Israel is doing it right now. 🪳 Israel occupies the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza. 🪳 Israel builds settlements on stolen Palestinian land. 🪳 Israel displaces Palestinian families from their homes. 🪳 Israel controls Palestinian water, airspace, borders, and population registry. 🪳 Israel denies Palestinians the right to return to their homes. 🪳 Israel imposes a legal system that privileges Jews over Palestinians. 🪳 Israel bombs hospitals, schools, and refugee camps. 🪳Israel starves Gaza. 🪳Israel commits genocide. That is colonialism. Not "like" colonialism. Not "accused of" colonialism. Colonialism. Netanyahu's Argument Is a Logical Fallacy His argument is: "Britain and France were colonial powers, so they can't criticize us for being colonial." That is called tu quoque. It means "you too." It is a logical fallacy. It does not refute the accusation. It only deflects it. If a murderer says "you stole a candy bar when you were twelve, so you can't judge me for murder," the response is not "you're right." The response is: "That doesn't make murder okay." Britain and France being colonial powers does not make Israel's colonialism acceptable. It makes Britain and France hypocrites. But it does not make Israel innocent. In fact, it makes Israel worse. Because Britain and France eventually partially, belatedly admitted their crimes. They gave up most of their colonies. They apologized. They paid reparations. They built museums. They wrote books. Israel does none of that. Israel denies. Israel deflects. Israel plays the victim. Israel calls its critics antisemitic. Israel says "Britain and France invented colonialism, so we can do it too." The Difference Between Then and Now Britain and France colonized in the 19th and 20th centuries. They used gunboats, Maxim guns, and divide-and-rule tactics. They justified it with "the white man's burden" and "civilizing mission." Israel colonizes in the 21st century. It uses F-35s, AI-targeting systems, and siege warfare. It justifies it with "self-defense" and "the Bible." The methods are different. The technology is different. The justification is different. But the project is the same: settle indigenous land, displace indigenous people, and call it your own. Britain and France did it to Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Israel is doing it to Palestine. Same crime. Different century.

He made occult human sacrifices….. The atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were dropped in August of 1945. Harry Truman, the man who authorized the bombings, received the 33rd degree in the Scottish rite of Freemasonry just two months later. In Nagasaki alone, 70% of the Catholic community was killed. Me: Is that how this works? The more people you murder the higher degree you advance to? Ex Freemason affiliate: More power perhaps if they're attempting to make a philosopher stone. Unless someone higher is to receive stone then promotion is reward, perhaps. I’m just guessing. But mass killing is an offering.
