XRP will fall out of the top 10 cryptos by 2030 if nothing changes Here's why

Flare Network is closing in on 1,000,000 addresses! ☀️ 957,643 as of now and 42,357 away from a major milestone. 1 million before the end of 2026 looks very realistic! 👏

Good Luck with that "Strong Economy". There are NO signs of it. On the Contrary! It is the weakest it has ever been outside severe recessions. And it speaks volumes about how bad it is going to get. NAHB leads Unemployment. It will be UGLY. (...and please make note of all the "economists" and "macro experts" who do not see it)

🚨WARNING: Up to 80% of independent AI cloud operators could face bankruptcy or consolidation, according to Gartner. Dan Niles warns of a “huge wave of bankruptcies” as AI overinvestment leaves smaller providers with massive debts and excess capacity. Yet, he predicts Microsoft, Google, and Amazon will emerge as the biggest winners.

A month ago, I publicly said I was going ALL IN. And I wasn’t joking. I left my country, left my family behind, and basically started my life over from scratch. Right now, I’m sleeping on a mattress on the floor. It’s uncomfortable as hell. I’m dealing with iron deficiency anemia and some serious health challenges, but I’m still pushing forward. And why am I doing all of this? Because I see an opportunity that feels very familiar. I want to start accumulating aggressively again, just like I did years ago, right before the bull market. Thank God, I recently landed a great job with a good salary and excellent health insurance to help me manage my medical condition. For the first time in a long time, I have the financial stability to execute my plans without worrying about how I’m going to survive. But the crazy part is that… I feel exactly like I did in 2017. Back then, I had almost nothing. All I had was faith in God, conviction, and an insane amount of confidence in what I believed in. A lot of people thought I was crazy. Years later, those decisions completely changed my life. And to this day, I’m still benefiting from them. Then I started thinking… I spent most of my life being poor. I know what it’s like to sleep uncomfortably, to struggle financially, and to live without the things most people take for granted. So why wouldn’t I be willing to live like that again for a while if I truly believe in something? I’ve already lived that life. I’ve already experienced those struggles. None of this is new to me. The difference is that back then, I had no choice. Today, I’m choosing to make those sacrifices because I believe they could lead to something much bigger. And that’s when I asked myself another question… What if I disappear for six months? No distractions. No expensive lifestyle. No trying to impress anyone. Just working, taking care of my health, living below my means, and aggressively accumulating the assets I believe in. But this time, there’s one major difference. I have more experience, more knowledge, and significantly more capital available to invest than I did in 2017. Of course, I could be completely wrong. The market doesn’t owe me anything, and conviction doesn’t guarantee success. But I know what I’m willing to sacrifice, and I know why I’m doing it. I might end up being the craziest person in my family… or the wealthiest. I genuinely don’t know. What I do know is that I’ve been in this position before. The only difference is that this time, I’m not starting with nothing. I’m starting with everything I’ve learned along the way. Six months. Let’s see what happens. God first. Health second. Everything else can wait. Not financial advice. Just documenting my journey.

Altcoin holders you’re not in a bear market. You’re in the “Disbelief” phase. The last time alts looked like this was 2019. Then 2021 happened. Stack now VALHALLA is calling!

ARE YOU READY?! 😳 #DTCC

🌑 DTCC today released new details of its Tokenization Service, outlining approximately $30 trillion in assets available for tokenization. Canton Network and DTCC's private Hyperledger Besu network are designated for launch, with Stellar and Circle's Arc anticipated in 2027. The service will initially support 25 securities across U.S. equities, ETFs and Treasuries, backed 1:1 by assets held at DTC. Tokenized securities will retain their existing CUSIPs, rights and investor protections, while enabling 24/7 peer-to-peer transfers between registered wallets on the same blockchain. DTC will continue maintaining the official books and records. Conversion orders will be available during designated business hours, targeting processing times of 15 minutes or less. DTCC's roadmap extends beyond tokenization to include on-chain settlement, collateral management, netting, digital cash and expanded corporate actions. The initiative establishes a phased pathway for integrating blockchain infrastructure into U.S. securities markets while preserving the existing central securities depository framework. @CantonNetwork | @The_DTCC | @BuildOnStellar | @Arc | @Circle

The most innovative DeFi Earn program in the market just launched another innovation. @krakenfx is introducing @Firelightfi onchain cover for the Kraken Protected Strategies USDC vault (formerly Boosted USDC), curated by @SentoraHQ: firelight.finance/articles/f… The vault ( vaults.sentora.com/vault/ink…) has approximately $49.49 million in TVL, representing meaningful capital already deployed into DeFi strategies. And this is happening at an entirely different scale than most DeFi experiments. Kraken's broader DeFi Earn program has already crossed $902 million in TVL and 100,000 unique depositors, combining Sentora's strategies with Veda's infrastructure to bring onchain yields to BTC and USDC holders. To our knowledge, this is the first onchain cover integration into a major exchange Earn program. Kraken deserves tremendous credit for pioneering this. Making DeFi accessible to mainstream users is one achievement. Making institutional-grade protection part of the experience is another. Think about this like engineering a production system. Testing reduces the probability of failure. Recovery mechanisms address what happens after failure. Nobody would argue that good tests eliminate the need for recovery. Financial infrastructure should follow the same logic. Audits and risk management remain essential. But cover adds a different primitive: capital explicitly committed to absorbing defined failures. For Kraken Protected Strategies USDC, Firelight introduces three important capabilities: Adaptive protection: Coverage scope, price, and capacity are registered onchain and recalibrated every 30 days against the vault's composition and risk profile. Explicit coverage: Protection against six defined failure modes, including smart contract exploits, oracle failures, governance attacks, mechanism-driven bad debt and depegs, and protocol-related redemption failures. Continuous risk monitoring: Sentora's institutional risk infrastructure and Hypernative monitor the underlying exposures in real time. The architecture is particularly interesting. Firelight uses a shared pool of staked capital to back its protection programs. Stakers receive protocol emissions but accept potential slashing when covered events occur. When incidents happen, independent security specialists and Firelight's five-firm Risk Consortium validate the event against predefined coverage criteria. Confirmed claims result in programmatic onchain payouts to the applicable vault. Notice the combination: committed capital + continuous risk intelligence + independent validation + programmable settlement. This is not simply insurance attached to a yield product. It is an attempt to make protection a native component of DeFi infrastructure. The Kraken launch also represents our third insured vault, following Sentora's USD Protected Vault and Protected RWA Vaults. The mission of @Firelightfi is straightforward but ambitious: build the missing protection layer for onchain finance. For years, DeFi has focused on optimizing yield, liquidity, composability, and capital efficiency. Protection has remained fragmented, optional, and largely disconnected from the underlying financial products. That architecture needs to change. As DeFi evolves from an ecosystem of protocols into infrastructure powering exchanges, fintechs, and eventually autonomous financial agents, protection must evolve from something users purchase separately into something applications can integrate natively. Kraken is taking an important step in that direction. The next generation of DeFi won't just optimize how capital earns yield. It will fundamentally rethink how that capital is protected. More technical details in Firelight's official launch announcement: firelight.finance/articles/f…

We backed Firelight because they are a highly serious team. They have launched with some of the biggest partners in the industry from day 1. There is space in the Firelight vault for additional deposits and Firelight is now available via Flare Smart Accounts. flare.network/products/flare…

🇺🇸 Joe Rogan says Trump voters feel completely BETRAYED by his disastrous war of choice in Iran. Trump campaigned REPEATEDLY on a promise of NO NEW WARS, mocking past administrations for their endless foreign conflicts. Well now he's the one dragging America into a giant quagmire with zero exit strategy! Rogan and pro-Israel guest Michael Douglas both agreed Trump got played by Israel's lie that taking out top Iranian leaders would be a quick win, only for it to blow up in America's face. Rogan warned Trump has f***ed up enough to hand the White House right back to the Democrats… Source: Fox News / Writer: Bri

The US can't afford higher rates... Warsh knows that. - In the next 12 months, ~$10T of USTs need to be rolled. - The average coupon is ~3.3%. - The US10y yield is ~5.3%. Rolling that $10T at today’s US10y level would add $200B in annual interest costs, and that’s before you factor in the interest burden on an ongoing $2T annual deficit. Volcker could crush inflation with double‑digit rates because inflation had already driven debt to GDP down from about 120% to ~30%. Today we are back at 120%... First you inflate the debt away, then you raise rates to kill inflation. We are in the inflation part of the cycle... you know what that means

CPI came in hotter than expected with just 0.1%. Yes, tomorrow the world is ending and the FED will hike with 10%. #Bitcoin will drop to $10,000 and it’s over. Jesus, calm your tits a little everyone.

tx:native this candle went all the way to 0.0025 just now. Bullish divergence playing out

I finally know the meaning of gFlare.. ☀️

If you would have bought $100 worth of $SONG exactly one year ago, you would have about $480,000 right now🤯
