Sincerely enjoyed being involved in the @LloydsBank podcast with @Ronkemenade and hear the views of @reown_'s @Houlgrave and @fnality's Michelle Neal. When a leading bank is openly discussing such topics, you know institutional momentum is building.

Great to work with you @amibendavid on this

🚨 BIG: Goldman Sachs teams up with Apex and Archax to launch a tokenized real estate fund.

Archax, the UK and EU regulated digital asset platform, today announced that it is adding @BNYglobal Investments’ suite of UCITS-compliant Government and Prime money market funds, and short-term bond funds to its range of tokenised real-world assets. With these blockchain-based offerings, Archax seeks to continue providing eligible investors with regulated, on-chain investment options. The tokenised funds combine BNY Investments’ specialist strategies with the efficiency and accessibility of digital assets to enable faster settlement, enhanced transparency and greater investor flexibility.

LATEST: The Bank of England is scaling back its proposed stablecoin restrictions after industry pushback, admitting the initial proposals may have been "overly conservative."

Great to be involved in this project with Schroders Capital. It's coming to every asset class.

Press Release: Canton's industry working group advances cross-border collateral mobility on Canton @digitalasset, in collaboration with a consortium of leading financial institutions, today announced the completion of a fourth set of transactions on @CantonNetwork. This latest set of transactions showcases continued momentum in cross-border intraday repurchase activity across a growing variety of asset classes. Participants included: @LSEGplc, @EuroclearGroup, @citsecurities, @Tradeweb, @SocieteGenerale, @VirtuFinancial, @The_DTCC, @digitalasset, @DRWTrading, @TreasurySpring, @ArchaxEx, and @IntellectEU. Read the full press release here: archax.com/insights/cantons-…

Stablecoin rules in the UK are being finalized, and are at risk of preventing the UK from being globally competitive in the digital economy. For example, the Bank of England is proposing a cap on stablecoin holdings for individuals and businesses. The UK has a long history of being a financial hub. Embracing and encouraging innovation, especially when other countries are moving fast here, is important for maintaining that. The current direction of the rules does the opposite, and will act as an innovation blocker. If you're from the UK you can sign the petition by @StandWCrypto_UK to set out a pro-innovation strategy for blockchain and stablecoins. Link below.

📣 @ArchaxEx, the UK/EU-regulated digital asset platform, has integrated with Aptos to expand its range of RWAs onchain. Archax's CEO, @Grodfather, joined @AptosLabs' @Zega_Ryan and @marissa_trew to discuss what this means for the future of token-based finance on Aptos.

Ha!! Coming soon!

It's nice when something is a great read and resonates with the way you are thinking. It feels like this is accelerating wildly now.

There is a way to change this. 100k ⇋ Govt Debate. 🛡️ petition.parliament.uk/petit…

As far as I can work out the proposed cap will just cause people to not hold GBP systemic stables....so they will move into non-systemic stables or other currencies. Neither a useful outcome. No other major jurisdiction (US, EU, Singapore, Dubai) is proposing holding limits like this....though I don't think this is the type of innovation we are looking for.

🚨 ARCHAX CEO: "TOKENIZATION IS REPLACING EVERYTHING" Jamie Dimon and Larry Fink now echo what @Grodfather has said for 8 years. • $400T real estate becomes 24/7 collateral • Global institutions move to deployment • Enterprise teams finally get executive buy-in "Creating extra utility around already attractive assets." Which networks will the institutions choose? $XRP $XDC $HBAR $SOL $ALGO $CC @ArchaxEx @Genfinity

Great chat with @Genfinity and @IOV_OWL. So much is changing in the tech world at the moment. What a time to be in web3/tech/ai.

Assets like $XRP will become extremely valuable overtime because of one thing happening in this space right now... tokenization. Tokenization described in the simplest way possible is technically just turning real world assets like stocks, real estate, fiat, etc, into digital tokens. But that's not where the story ends... This is why tokenization makes assets like $XRP, $HBAR, $XLM, $XDC (and yes there a ton of other ones like $CC $ONDO $TEL I can mention but you get it) more valuable: • First key thing is simply network demand. Network effects are created when the network sees a drastic increase in use with value moving over it. If we begin to see trillions getting tokenized (guess what we will) on these networks then we see a massive amount of demand. That demand of the network also demands the gas token to move that value, settle it, etc. Also for those asking about the private network initiatives, they are digital islands, they need to be bridged to public networks to alleviate friction. This means again, public networks that are extremely efficient in value movement and settlement will eventually see this demand regardless of private network initiatives. • Now talking about faster and cheaper transactions, tokenized assets onchain can move near instantly across borders. This again is done on public blockchains. We know Ripple has focused on improving cross border payments for over a decade now. Tokenized fiat is the best way to rewire the global movement of value. Public chains are the key for this and/or maybe a neutral bridge currency 😉 • Last, but not least, the plethora of utility that is unlocked for traditional asset classes. Tokenization opens up a liquidity book for illiquid asset classes like real estate. What this also unlocks is new use cases around DeFi initiatives, borrowing, lending and/or even fractionalized ownership. There is so much more value that can be derived from these asset classes that are already valued in the hundreds of trillions. To really summarize this, tokenization will lead to a flood of new assets and fresh value moving onchain, which will then create a ton and I mean a ton of demand for the underlying gas tokens on the networks being tokenized on, this will then lead to the price expansion. It really is that simple. Now before you all say "well the value hasn't moved yet" the simple reason why is because we only have $20B onchain spread out across multiple networks. That's a drop of water in the bucket and not nearly enough to move majority of these tokens. The good news? The TAM of tokenization is in the QUADRILLIONS, in fact @Grodfather mentioned $1.7Q, I personally think at this point it's most likely well over $2Q. We didn't even begin yet and 99% of even crypto participants are overlooking just how big this really will be.
