Today at LIDAC 2026, we signed an Intent to Collaborate (ItC) with @LunoGlobal and Kenanga Investors Berhad to explore UMYR, a Ringgit-pegged stablecoin issued by Luno Malaysia as an on-chain settlement instrument for tokenised money market funds. As Malaysia’s early adopter of fund tokenisation, we often question how we can make institutional-scale financial settlements faster, yet highly secure. Tokenised fund products already exist in Malaysia's market today. The next step would be an institutionally focused settlement layer under the Securities Commission Malaysia’s regulatory framework. With this, we’ll look at how UMYR can be used to settle fund subscriptions and redemptions, as a step toward advancing Malaysia’s capital markets on-chain. We are proud to take this step forward, alongside Luno Malaysia and Kenanga Investors Berhad.

Introducing @GTXNGlobal, now part of @LunoGlobal. We’re building cross-border payments infrastructure for enterprise clients operating between developed and emerging markets. GTXN combines licensed collection and payout infrastructure with Luno’s established regulatory footprint and liquidity, creating a more integrated settlement flow across supported corridors. Led by CEO Dan Kleinbaum, GTXN operates as Luno’s cross-border payments capability. Read the full announcement: gtxn.com/insights/luno-acqui…

I can see why people are comparing $TAO to $ZEC Both have #Bitcoin like scarcity.. 21 million max supply and halvings #Zcash is built around the idea that financial privacy shouldn't depend on permission from an institution.. #Bittensor is built around the idea that advancing intelligence shouldn't depend on permission from a handful of powerful AI labs.. Both use scarce digital assets to incentivise participation in open networks Yes.. Different technology and different markets But the same underlying principles.. Privacy shouldn't require permission.. Neither should the right to build and advance intelligence One is about keeping financial freedom in the hands of individuals The other is about keeping the future of intelligence open to everyone $ZEC and $TAO have more in common than people realise

Today we are announcing that S&P Global has entered an agreement to acquire OpenZeppelin. Onchain finance is growing from an emerging market into core financial infrastructure, and the standards and rails our team and community built are becoming the rails of global finance. OpenZeppelin smart contracts facilitated over $37 trillion in value transferred, with the vast majority of the largest DeFi protocols, blockchain networks, stablecoins and tokenized funds relying on them. With S&P Global, we expect to accelerate the impact of onchain finance, backed by more than a century of trust in global markets, benchmarks, and risk frameworks. To our clients and to all the users of OpenZeppelin open source tools: • OpenZeppelin Contracts and all our open source applications and tools remain open source, free, and publicly maintained on GitHub. Building open source standards stays a core priority. • Audits, engineering work, and ecosystem programs continue with the same team, brand, quality, and customer experience, with what will be the added benefit of S&P Global's research capacity, market data, and institutional reach. For the last decade, OpenZeppelin has set the security standard for onchain finance. Today begins a new chapter for that mission, together with one of the most trusted names in global markets.
