Ondo, Canton, and now USDC new blockchain Arc deals only in dollars. Ondo gets paid in dollars as does Canton for services. For Ondo there's no real transfer of value to the token, unless Ondo changes that. Canton also gets paid in dollars and they do burn Canton. But there's no real value transfer. With the claimed 6 trillion in tokenized assets on the Canton Network. Look at all the headlines of all the blockchains right now. Every chain is crying they have stable coins. This is the phase that we are in. This might be the crypto shakeout that no one saw coming. We have to many chains and only a few are going to make it. We are entering our "Dot Com" moment.

@JoelKatz thinks that lending on the XRPL will be big. As incredibly bright as David is - I’d wager that even he is underestimating quite how big it can be! ;)

🚨 Japan has never paid this much to borrow for 30 years in its entire history. Japan's 30-year bond yield just hit an all time high of 4.279%. Japan's debt is now at 204% of GDP, the second highest of any country in the world. That's almost double the US, which sits at around 124% of GDP. Japan has gotten away with carrying this much debt for years because its borrowing costs stayed near zero. That era is now over.

NEW: @Ripple announced that global macro and digital asset manager Brevan Howard will use Ripple Prime for multi-asset prime brokerage, clearing and financing services across its funds, giving it access to traditional and crypto markets through a single prime broker. @MikeHiggins, International CEO of Ripple Prime, on what clearing trades across markets through one prime broker means for a fund's margin: "If you were buying Bitcoin on a Coinbase of the world and selling the future on the CME, you would have to post, say, $10M each leg - that's about $10M for Coinbase, and you've got about 25% margin on the CME, that's another $2.5M. So to run a basis trade, long spot, short the derivative, will cost you margin of around $12.5M. If you did that through the prime broker who sees the risk as delta neutral, it's a fraction of that, about $1M to run that 10 by 10 trade. The capital efficiency you get from netting at a prime broker allows markets to scale. Investors are looking for greater returns and therefore forcing the hedge funds to trade more products. Without that capital efficiency, even if they performed well, they would pay most of that back in fees or in margin requirements."

The XRP Ledger is leading in financial primitive development. Native on the protocol level ready out of the box. Over the next 67 hours, the XRP Ledger is set to activate the Batch and Permission Delegation amendments. Batch enables atomic settlement, including delivery versus payment (DvP). Permission Delegation enables institutional account management without sharing signing keys. Batch was initially proposed in 2023, P Delegation in 2024 and since then carefully crafted and refined by hand 🤚. Very much ahead of the curve.
