Hyundai is testing blockchain infrastructure to accelerate development and improve payment processing time. Hyundai Card’s stablecoin pilot on Avalanche saw transfer time reduced by over 96%. Now the company is exploring how these faster transfers, even after banking hours, can reduce idle liquidity and make their working capital go further. American Banker reports on the pilot.

mWIN and mGLOBAL are now live on @avax as tokenized institutional credit strategies! ... meaning holders may keep the position and use the tokens in defi (i.e., lending as collateral, liquidity venues, structured products) as those integrations come online, rather than having to sell to access capital
BREAKING: Institutional investment strategies from $1.3T Wellington and $6B Fasanara are now live on Avalanche @MidasRWA is bringing mWIN and mGLOBAL to Avalanche, with access to institutional fixed income and alternative credit strategies onchain. These are assets that traditionally sit behind institutional infrastructure. On Avalanche, they become programmable, transferable, and usable.

💯 Been banging on forever about “eating the world”, and impressing on the eth crew that Avalanche was fighting a bigger game. Indeed, made some big calls
When I first spoke to Gün, 7 years ago he described Avalanche as an internet of blockchains built from the grounds of a breakthrough new consensus. A horizontally scalable network of ultra fast, customizable blockchains that interoperate freely. And that said network target was to “tokenize all the world’s assets”… no one spoke about RWA tokenization at the time, it sounded like a pipe dream at the time. Today we are on the verge of seeing THE wallstreet move to 24/7 stock trading onchain. All while the largest funds globally are tokenizing the world’s assets. Avalanche spent this entire time building for the biggest leap of blockchain tech adoption in history. Gün has a crazy record of calling things out early, but nothing beats this. Mad respect to the entire team @avax, the AWS of blockchains is real because you built it piece by piece.

The summit was a resounding success for the Avalanche vision…now to close the deal with companies that “don't know where to start." Fun problems…🤔

Avalanche Summit New York was excellent. Here a few of my initial takeaways: A lot of suits in the room this year. That's a tell. Avalanche, and this industry, is maturing fast. The institutions have arrived. This week alone: New York Life brought its first tokenized fund onchain through Centrifuge. Janus Henderson became a validator. Aave is launching an RWA lending market with Tether's USAT. NYSE's parent ICE is deep in evaluation for a 24/7 onchain trading platform. Tokenized U.S. stocks are coming to Avalanche through Pharaoh. And plenty more. The signal-to-noise ratio was genuinely high. Real value across the conversations, panels, and breakout discussions this week. Validators as a business, on current terms, face real structural challenges long term. This surfaced repeatedly in conversations and on panels. It's a problem worth taking seriously. The good news: that's exactly the problem our research agenda is designed to address. Measure, Capture, Distribute isn't theory anymore. The work is well underway. One of the best parts of this week was meeting the community in person. The quality of the conversations, the questions being asked, and the people showing up, it's a reminder of what this ecosystem is actually built on. One thing that stuck with me: the community already understands the hard problems. They're not waiting for answers, they're helping find them. Massive credit to Ava Labs for pulling off a genuinely strong Summit, and to Team1 for the community side events. The organization, the speakers, the energy, well done to everyone involved. The institutions have arrived. Our economics research agenda is moving. The community is engaged. What comes next is the part I'm most looking forward to. Vamos! 🔺

The SEC just set the bar for tokenized stocks, and Robinhood's version doesn't clear it "This is what I was talking about before, the innovation exemption from the SEC, and it took all of two days after the Clarity Act for it to happen. I took some notes because there's a lot here. I don't usually use notes, but I wanted to get this right." "Everybody's reporting this as tokenized stocks are coming legally to the United States, but there's a lot of nuance. There's a lot of rules." "First of all, these tokenized stocks need to actually be backed one for one with full dividends and voting rights and all those things. Which means that right now at this exact moment, a lot of the products being offered do not comply, especially the ones in Europe." "For example, Robinhood's tokenized stocks right now would not qualify for this. But this does give them a very obvious path on how to do it and what to do by the time this gets done. I'm sure they will, and they've already made comments that they will be doing it."

W3 definitely not like W2 debut, material step up from current norm for mon-techies. Managers going to need lot of handholding to scope the opportunity…but education lift is also massive marketing opening

Been using LLMs the entire year, but yesterday was the first time I sent them out bug-hunting proper in my codebase. Well... we're fucked. They traced a way to brick an Ark, going from the mobile app, through the cloud, laptop it's plugged into, firmware, USB stack, kernel.

🚨HOLY Shit. China’s government has now officially responded directly to Dario Amodei. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun, asked about Dario’s proposal today: ‘Fearmongering, confrontation and vicious competition will only disrupt the process of global AI governance which serves no one’s interest.’ The earlier ‘Cold War playbook’ response came from the state-run Global Times. Now Beijing has answered Amodei officially.
🚨EXCLUSIVE: China has now replied to Dario Amodei’s call to slow AI. China's state-backed Global Times says Dario Amodei's proposal to slow frontier AI is really a 'Cold War playbook' targeting China. It says the plan would curb China's AI development, preserve US dominance and exclude China from global AI governance. It calls this a 'silent AI Cold War.'
