BTC knocking on $80K. WEEX's Day 2 at Coinfest Asia matching the energy. 🚀 Three tournaments, all-day quick matches, and nonstop conversations with founders, KOLs and traders. The market was moving. So was Bali. 🌴 Next stop: TOKEN2049 Singapore. 🇸🇬 Let’s keep the momentum going. 🔥 #WEEX #CoinfestAsia #BTC #TOKEN2049

We’ve seen incredible interest from the XRP community since the announcement - and we truly appreciate the warm welcome. This is only the beginning. We plan to deepen XRP integration across Sl8 and see enormous potential in the XRP Ledger as we continue building a truly multichain financial infrastructure. Excited for what’s ahead. @Ripple @XRPLF

We’re building what’s next for Sl8. Behind the scenes, our team is constantly working on new ways to make Sl8 more useful for creators, communities, and their audiences. One of the next major steps currently in development is Streams — a new way to connect, interact, and earn directly on the platform. Creators will be able to go live from their profiles, schedule upcoming streams, set reminders for their audience, interact through live group chat, offer paid access and special requests, and receive gifts directly to their wallet. This is only one part of what we’re working on. Sl8 continues to evolve, and we have much more planned ahead. Every new feature is another step toward building a platform where creators have more control over their audience, content, and monetization. Thank you to everyone building this journey with us. Your support, feedback, and trust push us forward every day. We’re moving fast. And we’re just getting started. 🚀

When we say that our badges are made of gold and silver, we mean pure Gold and Silver and nothing else 🔥

Article about @The_DTCC and Tokenized Securities: What Changes in October 2026 In October, the institution at the center of American securities markets plans to give Wall Street a new way to move some of its most familiar assets. Shares in major companies, index funds and U.S. government debt will be eligible for a service that connects traditional custody with blockchain networks. For banks and investment firms, that could change how securities are transferred, financed and used as collateral. For everyone watching the #tokenization story, October will offer something more concrete than another announcement: an opportunity to see whether the technology becomes part of everyday market operations. The organization is the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation, or DTCC. Through its subsidiaries, it helps process the transactions that take place after investors agree to buy or sell securities. Its depository subsidiary, DTC, reported $114 trillion in securities under custody and servicing for 2025. Across DTCC's subsidiaries, annual securities transaction processing reached $4.7 quadrillion. That enormous figure requires context. It measures transactions processed over a year, including repeated activity involving the same assets. It is not a pool of money scheduled to enter cryptocurrency markets. The October launch concerns a defined service for eligible securities, with adoption driven by participating firms. The eligible universe includes Russell 1000 stocks, exchange-traded funds tracking major indexes, and U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds. Participation is voluntary. Firms will decide which eligible holdings to convert into tokenized form. The first real transactions have already happened. On July 15, DTCC reported production trades involving more than 30 firms. The activity included collateral pledges, securities lending, Treasury financing and equity transactions. Assets were converted using DTCC's private Besu network and the Canton Network. October is the planned broader service launch following that limited production activity. The distinction matters: a successful day of transactions establishes that a process can work. A continuing service must demonstrate that it can work reliably as more firms adopt it. The mechanics begin with securities already held at DTC. When a participant requests tokenization, DTC moves the corresponding position into a dedicated account on its existing ledger and issues a token to a registered wallet. That token represents the participant's security entitlement. To return to conventional book-entry form, DTC destroys the token and credits the securities back to the participant's account. DTCC says the tokenized form preserves the rights and investor protections of the traditional holding. The underlying securities remain registered in the name of DTC's nominee, Cede and Company. Investors continue to rely on the established custody framework. In December 2025, @SECGov staff issued a conditional no-action letter covering the service for three years after the preliminary version launches. The SEC describes a voluntary pilot with operational limits, meaning a commercial launch can proceed within a limited regulatory framework. The business case centers on making assets easier to use. Consider a firm holding Treasury securities while needing to post collateral elsewhere. If it can transfer an eligible tokenized position efficiently, and the receiving institution accepts it, the firm may be able to meet that obligation with fewer operational steps. Across large portfolios, even modest improvements could reduce costs and make existing holdings more useful. DTCC points to collateral mobility and capital efficiency as potential benefits. The practical question is how much improvement survives the demands of real operations: compliance checks, funding arrangements, system integration and the willingness of counterparties to accept the assets. There are boundaries. Under the initial no-action framework, tokenized entitlements receive no collateral or settlement value within DTC's own risk-management calculations. Firms can explore collateral uses outside those calculations, but tokenization does not automatically expand their capacity inside DTC. DTCC also describes transfers between registered participant wallets on approved networks operating around the clock. That capability alone cannot make every stock market, broker or cash-payment system available twenty-four hours a day. Completing a purchase still requires arrangements for both the security and the money. Controls remain central to the design. Transfers are restricted to registered wallets, and DTCC's token controls include freezing assets and reversing transfers when necessary. For institutions, the appeal is the ability to use blockchain while retaining mechanisms for compliance and recovery. The network strategy is also broader than a single blockchain. July's transactions used Besu and Canton. DTCC has separately announced a connection with @StellarOrg, with DTC-tokenized assets expected there in the first half of 2027. That is a later milestone on the published timetable. @Ripple Prime appears in DTCC's industry working group, too. That participation does not establish ripple:native as the service's settlement asset. Institutional involvement and demand for a particular cryptocurrency are separate questions, and investors should look for evidence connecting them. As October approaches, the useful measures will be operational: whether the service launches on schedule, which firms use it repeatedly, how much value remains in tokenized form, and whether transfers produce measurable savings. Announced capacity matters less than sustained use. For most individual investors, the first changes may occur behind the brokerage screen. Over time, successful adoption could influence the services their brokers offer and the cost of delivering them. Those outcomes will depend on execution and competition. October gives Wall Street a chance to turn a demonstrated capability into a working business service. Its significance will become clearer in the months that follow, as firms decide whether tokenized securities are useful enough to become routine. Reporting notes and sources Source 1.
