WHERE ARE THE $VELO HOLDERS? BECAUSE THE INSTITUTIONAL SIDE OF THIS ECOSYSTEM IS GETTING SERIOUS. 👀
Look at the names already touching Velo’s infrastructure.
UOB Venture Management made a second strategic investment into Velo Labs.
Velo’s current strategic network includes Stellar, Visa, UOB, Seven Bank, CP Group, HashKey Capital, Hanwha, Copper and Cactus Custody.
Then you get into tokenized assets.
Velo incorporated exposure to BlackRock BUIDL, tokenized by Securitize, into USDV’s reserve architecture.
Its joint venture with Lightnet and OpenEden is targeting tokenized U.S. Treasuries, corporate treasury services, stablecoin issuance and cross-border institutional settlement.
The initial markets include:
Singapore.
Thailand.
Philippines.
Indonesia.
And settlement is being designed around currencies including USD, THB, PHP, IDR, SGD and HKD.
That tells me Velo isn’t thinking small.
The plan is to connect blockchain liquidity with the currencies businesses actually use.
Then $VELO gets pulled further into that design.
Institutions are planned to lock VELO for netting infrastructure, settlement services and credit facilities.
Liquidity providers can stake VELO.
Network fees are designed to fund VELO buybacks.
And live VELO staking is on the roadmap as the network moves toward its Q4 2026–2027 expansion.
This is the kind of utility setup I like studying.
Not simply “who is buying the token?”
I want to know 👇
What happens when businesses actually need the token to access the financial infrastructure underneath them?
That’s the $VELO angle I’m watching. 😎

When profits come, and in crypto they can come fast and hard...we will soon enough find out how strong and fast this end cycle finish will be, and nothing will make me happier if it has the strength of the 2017 run. But that run was close to an everything season, so strength-wise for this run I’ll be more than happy if liquidity is very biased and focuses on quality projects and utility tokens and bypasses all the other useless saturated shit.
It’s none of my business what people do with their profits, whether that be buying toys, holidays, or a few therapy sessions with the damage this cycle has psychologically caused lol...but I will say this...pay off your debts first. Get rid of as many liabilities as you can.
Secondly, once you’ve been an investor for a few years, you truly realise nothing beats and feels better than having available capital equity to reinvest in a bear market and build your portfolio again from the ground up for capital appreciation. No sports car, holiday, or any other thing for me feels as good as having ammunition to go deep into accumulation again once a market has retraced.
Maybe that’s just me, but that’s what floats my boat these days and the freedom that comes from it. It’s all about buying appreciating assets, not depreciating ones. Yes, I know you only live once, and I’ve been there many times with cars, travelling, and other stuff, but these days, capital ammunition does it more for me.

Elon Musk avait dit un truc qui m'avait marqué sur l'allocation de ressources. En substance : passé un certain niveau de richesse, l'argent n'est plus de la consommation, c'est de l'allocation de capital.
Cette phrase change tout.
L'économie, dans le fond, c'est juste un problème d'allocation. Tu as des ressources finies et des usages infinis. Qui décide où va quoi ?
Imagine une cour de récré. 100 enfants, des paquets de cartes Pokémon distribués au hasard. Tu laisses faire. Très vite, un ordre émerge. Les bons joueurs accumulent les cartes rares, les collectionneurs trient, les négociateurs trouvent des deals. Personne n'a planifié. Et pourtant chaque carte finit dans les mains de celui qui en tire le plus de valeur. Le système maximise le bonheur total de la cour. C'est ça, la main invisible.
Maintenant fais entrer la maîtresse. Elle trouve ça injuste. Léo a 50 cartes, Tom en a 3. Elle confisque, redistribue, impose l'égalité. Trois effets immédiats. Les bons joueurs arrêtent de jouer, à quoi bon. Les mauvais n'ont plus de raison de progresser, ils auront leur part. Les échanges s'effondrent. La cour est égale, et morte. Elle a maximisé l'égalité, elle a détruit le bonheur.
Le problème de la maîtresse, c'est qu'elle ne peut pas avoir l'information que la cour avait collectivement. C'est le problème du calcul économique de Mises, formulé en 1920. L'URSS a essayé de le résoudre pendant 70 ans avec le Gosplan. Résultat : pénuries, queues, effondrement. Pas parce que les Soviétiques étaient bêtes, parce que le problème est mathématiquement insoluble en mode centralisé.
Quand Musk a 200 milliards, il ne les consomme pas, il les alloue. SpaceX, Starlink, Neuralink, xAI. Chaque dollar est un pari sur le futur. Et lui a un track record. PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX. Il a démontré qu'il sait identifier des problèmes immenses et y allouer des ressources avec un rendement spectaculaire.
L'État aussi a un track record. Hôpitaux qui s'effondrent, éducation qui décline, dette qui explose, services publics qui se dégradent malgré des budgets en hausse constante. Le marché identifie les bons allocateurs, la politique identifie les bons communicants.
Le profit n'est pas une finalité, c'est un signal. Il dit : tu as alloué des ressources rares vers un usage que les gens valorisent suffisamment pour payer. Plus le profit est gros, plus la création de valeur est grande. Quand Starlink est rentable, ça veut dire que des millions de gens dans des zones rurales ont enfin internet. Quand un ministère est en déficit, ça veut dire qu'il consomme plus qu'il ne produit. L'un crée, l'autre détruit, et on appelle ça redistribution.
Dans nos sociétés il y a deux catégories d'acteurs. Les entrepreneurs et les bureaucrates. L'entrepreneur prend un risque personnel pour identifier un problème, mobiliser des ressources, créer une solution. S'il se trompe il perd. S'il a raison, ses clients gagnent, ses employés gagnent, ses fournisseurs gagnent, l'État collecte des impôts. Il est la cellule de base du progrès humain.
Le bureaucrate ne prend aucun risque personnel. Son salaire est garanti. Au mieux il maintient une rente existante. Au pire il la détruit par excès de réglementation, mauvaise allocation forcée, incitations perverses qui découragent ceux qui produisent. Mais dans aucun cas il ne crée.
Regarde les 50 dernières années. iPhone, internet civil, SpaceX, Tesla, Google, Amazon, Stripe, mRNA, ChatGPT. Toutes des inventions privées, portées par des entrepreneurs, financées par du capital risque. Pas un seul ministère n'a inventé quoi que ce soit qui ait changé ta vie au quotidien.
La France est devenue le laboratoire mondial de la dérive bureaucratique. 57% du PIB en dépenses publiques, record absolu. Une administration tentaculaire, une fiscalité qui pénalise la création de richesse. Résultat : décrochage face aux États-Unis, à l'Allemagne, à la Suisse. Fuite des cerveaux. Désindustrialisation. Dette qui explose.
Et le pire c'est que la mauvaise allocation s'auto-renforce. Plus l'État prélève, moins les entrepreneurs créent. Moins ils créent, moins il y a de base fiscale. Plus l'État s'endette et taxe. Boucle de rétroaction négative parfaite. La maîtresse pense qu'elle aide, et chaque année la cour produit moins.
Dans nos sociétés, ce sont les entrepreneurs, toujours, qui font avancer la civilisation. Les bureaucrates au mieux maintiennent une rente, au pire la détruisent. Aucune société n'a jamais progressé en taxant ses créateurs pour subventionner ses gestionnaires.
La question n'est jamais qui a combien. C'est qui alloue le mieux la prochaine unité de ressource pour maximiser le futur de l'humanité. La réponse depuis 200 ans n'a jamais changé. Ce ne sont pas les fonctionnaires.

Q: Is this just a vision—or already in place?
A: The rails are already live.
Through Lightnet, Velo has:
• Licensed payment corridors across ASEAN
• Bank & merchant integrations
• Fiat ↔ crypto on/off-ramps
• Compliance (KYC/KYB/AML) built in
This is the hardest part to replicate—and it’s already operational.

🧵 PayPal, Stripe, Stellar, Velo, Paxos.
This starts looking a lot less random once you follow the people, the capital, and the payment rails.
Because the same names and infrastructure lanes keep showing up again and again.
Start with PayPal.
Peter Thiel and Elon Musk were two of the key figures behind @PayPal
Later, both became early backers of @stripe
So from the very beginning, Stripe was already sitting inside a very specific payments orbit shaped by people who had already helped build one of the most important payment companies in the world.
That matters because Stripe did not remain disconnected from the rest of this story.
In 2014, Stripe provided Stellar’s foundation with a $3 million loan, later repaid with 2 billion lumens.
Patrick Collison/ @patrickc was also part of Stellar’s early foundation structure.
That is not some distant coincidence.
That is a real historical bridge.
Then there is Jed McCaleb.
He first co-founded Ripple.
Later, he founded Stellar.
So one of the most important builders in cross-border blockchain payments already links two major payment-rail narratives by himself.
And the story does not stop there.
Today, @JedMcCaleb is also listed as an advisor to @veloprotocol
That matters because Velo itself has real historical roots in the Stellar ecosystem.
It was originally built around Stellar as a fast and low-cost settlement layer for cross-border value movement.
That Stellar connection was never random.
Stellar was designed for currency exchange, banking integration, and cheap global settlement.
Velo fit naturally into that environment and became part of the broader payment and remittance conversation around Stellar-based infrastructure.
Only later did the model expand into a broader multi-chain and PayFi direction.
Now bring @Paxos into the picture.
Paxos is a regulated blockchain infrastructure company focused on stablecoins and enterprise-grade financial rails.
And the overlap shows up again here too.
Mithril Capital participated in Paxos funding rounds.
PayPal Ventures did as well.
So the same payment circle starts resurfacing on the stablecoin infrastructure side too.
Then Paxos announced expansion to Stellar.
That is a major signal on its own.
Because it shows regulated stablecoin infrastructure moving toward a network already known for payments, remittances, and real-world settlement efficiency.
And here is where the circle gets even tighter.
In July 2025, José Fernández da Ponte joined the Stellar Development Foundation as President and Chief Growth Officer.
He came directly from PayPal, where he led the company’s crypto and blockchain business.
That is not a small detail.
And the Velo-Paxos angle makes the overlap even more concrete.
Velo Labs announced a collaboration with Paxos International to integrate Lift Dollar, USDL, as a treasury reserve and settlement asset inside its USDV framework.
That turns part of this from a loose narrative into an actual infrastructure touchpoint.
So Velo is no longer just a Stellar-era settlement story.
It is now positioning around PayFi, cross-border payments, liquidity, compliance, and broader infrastructure, while expanding stablecoin support and moving toward a more institutional stack.
So what do we actually see here?
PayPal founders backing Stripe.
Stripe historically linked to Stellar.
Jed McCaleb linking Ripple, Stellar, and now Velo.
Thiel and PayPal Ventures backing Paxos.
Paxos expanding to Stellar.
A former PayPal crypto leader now helping lead SDF.
Velo collaborating with Paxos International on USDL.
That is already enough to say this is not random.
No, this does not prove one perfectly unified empire.
But it does show that the same people, capital networks, and payment rails keep resurfacing across the same infrastructure lanes.
At some point, that stops looking coincidental and starts looking structural.
PayPal, payments, settlement rails and now even space.
Musk with SpaceX.
McCaleb with Vast
