Did this interview with @TheBlockCo at the @consensus2026 Miami closing party for The White Papers, talking trade finance and what we've been building at @XDCNetwork since 2019. Trade finance is a $15 trillion-a-year industry. It still runs 80% on paper. A single deal can involve 20-plus documents and 9 to 11 parties, and it takes 7 to 10 days to settle. In the age of AI, that should sound impossible. It isn't. It's the reality most of global commerce still operates in. The part people miss: this isn't really a money problem. It's a PRICING RISK PROBLEM. Nobody could price the full chain, so small- and mid-size businesses got left out or got stuck financing/factoring their invoices at 25% APY. With blockchain, smart contracts, proof of goods, a bill of lading, and a vault structure, we've cut that in half. A domestic example is US trucking. Largest employer in the country, 90 days to get paid, and our partners are taking issuers from 25% down to 10-12%. The bottom-up approach XDC and our partners are solving is what we refer to as the SME 2.5T financing gap, and stablecoins were the last piece of the puzzle. The Genius Act and MiCA made them legitimate tender on the balance sheet, and that's what finally let us close the loop on the settlement. That's also why XDC brought Contour Network into the fold, which the bank consortium HSBC, Citi, and Standard Chartered helped start. They digitized the documents but never got the settlement rails. We're rebuilding it on XDC. I said it in the interview, and I'll say it here. This is one of the few blockchain use cases that actually works, and it's durable. Once you've seen it, going back to paper feels like trading your iPhone for a BlackBerry. Nobody's doing that. Full conversation below. Worth a watch if you want to understand where this is going.

Regulated stablecoins unlocked the final piece of the puzzle to run full-lifecycle trade finance on @XDCNetwork.

🍫 $XDC is now tokenizing the cacao trade industry. Global cocoa trade is valued at over $150 billion. @Blockticity authenticated the harvest. @Brickken tokenized the receivable. @XDCNetwork settled it. Full interview:

Regulatory clarity could be the catalyst that brings tokenization into mainstream banking. In this clip from Tokenization 101: What the C-Suite Needs to Know, @tommyabe and @TravisJohn discuss why the proposed U.S. CLARITY Act could be the turning point for tokenized deposits, loans, and other on-chain banking products. Banks are already preparing. They’re waiting for the regulatory green light. At Zeeve, we help banks and financial institutions launch secure, compliant blockchain infrastructure for tokenization and stablecoins.

Spent a lot of time with Hashfire team lately prepping our Day 1 portfolio. Excited to have Hashfire on the list and live on @XDCNetwork. Their fully onchain system sets a new bar for receivables financing marrying short duration investment grade yield with look through transparency, open markets and liquidity profiles for today’s allocators.

XDC Network is solving a $15 Trillion problem. I interviewed the Head of Institutional @XDCNetwork: • XDC has acquired Contour Network • Citi. HSBC. Standard Chartered.

Trade Finance workflows on @XDCNetwork connect proof of product, paperwork, and payment. 🔄

Huge momentum coming out of Miami for the @XDCNetwork 🤝

Great catching up with Solomon to talk trade finance and what’s happening @XDCTradeNetwork.

The institutional conversations and connections are in full swing at @consensus2026! Tokenization is moving, RWAs are delivering real yield, stablecoins and payments are crossing new borders, and asset managers are showing up to sharpen their allocations. @XDCNetwork as the rails to connect it all underneath. If you're in town, find me at the conference in the press area or at one of the many events happening across the week. Tuesday: - First Sip at the Figure RWA House - Consensus Press Area 10a-5p with CNBC and Be In Crypto and The Block - Asset Managers Roundtable 5p-8p Wednesday: - Opening Bell institutional breakfast 8a-10a - Wealth Management Day @ Consensus - Institutions & Introductions dinner Thursday: - Consensus Press Area 10a-4p - Under The Stars closing night 7p-10p

Looking forward to joining a panel tomorrow to discuss the next phase of crypto: stablecoins, onchain markets & new financial infrastructure. Thank you to @BitpushNewsCN x @ChinaInstitute1 for hosting. 🤝

DFNS's institutional, programmable wallet infrastructure now supports @XDCNetwork. Excited to move this forward with our trade finance initiatives, cross-border payments orchestration, institutional asset management, and staking programs.

Lend/Borrow XDC/USDC @ Silo Finance on @XDCNetwork 🤝

A look inside our Tokenization Clinic during Digital Asset Summit. Hear from members of the XDC USA team — including @travisjohn, Head of Institution DeFi, U.S. — on what it took to bring this together and the significance of the conversations taking place. #Tokenization #RWA #XDCNetwork

Tokenization.clinic at Digital Asset Summit 2026 was different. Instead of a stage and panel sessions, a curated group of institutional partners came together at @XDCNetwork offices in NYC for roundtable discussions to move tokenization and the opportunity to invest in it forward. 🤝

Another quality partner in place building $XDC as a credit asset on @XDCNetwork 🤝

We're just 2 weeks away from @blockworksDAS Let's connect if you'll be in NYC.
