This is how much daily volume the DTCC will eventually run over public blockchains like the XRPL and XLM.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’จ 100 million trades.โœ… And with the speed and efficiencies of blockchain, once the DTCC completes its internal system upgrades, daily volume will easily surpass this number.๐ŸŽฏ A possible 10x boost in production. Billions of trades per day.๐Ÿ’ฏ With instantaneous value settlement, this scale will be easily achieved.๐Ÿ“ˆ
100 million trades daily.๐Ÿ™‡โ€โ™‚๏ธ That is the volume the DTCC tested blockchain for.๐Ÿ˜ถโ€๐ŸŒซ๏ธ The July limited production launch is so anticipated because it marks the first time blockchain gets tested live at this massive scale.๐Ÿ“ˆ This is the moment blockchain infrastructure gets battle tested against actual US equity volumes.๐Ÿ’ฏ Real scale. Real volume. Documented.๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ‘‡

After hearing what was said about Michelle Obama at the White House last night, I canโ€™t stay silent. Sheโ€™s a Princeton- and Harvard-educated attorney, a former First Lady, and a global example of intelligence, grace, and elegance. Iโ€™m speaking up because she taught us: *โ€œWhen they go low, we go high.โ€* That means calling out disrespect while still choosing dignity. I stand with Michelle Obama. And she represents the best of American values.

He did this without cutting any social services, btw.

This is why MAGA are upset. President Obama and FLOTUS create โ€œenergy shiftsโ€ wherever they go. Look at how @AkunyiliCrosby captured the Obamas for the Obama Presidential Center. In the portrait I see love. I see humble beginnings. I see Black Excellence. I'm so happy that I cannot unsee this. It gives me hope. Thank you @BarackObama and @MichelleObama Our forever POTUS and FLOTUS. #DemsUnited

๐Ÿšจ THIS MAY HAVE BEEN THE MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT FOR THE US NARRATIVE YET ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Pete Hegseth: โ€œWeโ€™ve controlled the Strait this whole time.โ€ ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Journalist Margaret: โ€œThen why the hell has Trump spent 102 days begging Iran to reopen it?โ€ ๐Ÿ‘€โš ๏ธ And just like thatโ€ฆ Pete completely froze. ๐Ÿ˜ญ No answer.

Remember when they cut funding for childrenโ€™s cancer research because they said we couldnโ€™t afford it?
Trump is giving $300 billion to Iran. This could pay for: โ€” Student debt elimination for 7.6M Americans โ€” An end to homelessness in America โ€” Healthcare subsidies for 22M Americans for nearly a decade โ€” Medicaid coverage for 3.2M Americans for a decade โ€” Food assistance for 41M Americans for 3 years โ€” Federal cancer research for 40 years โ€” Free school lunch for every kid in America for over 4 years โ€” Replacing every lead pipe in America โ€” Free pre-K for every child in America for over 7 years
