Exciting times for $NOTE holders @republicnote literally 🔥🥳

False! THORChain effectively proved that it is not truly decentralized. In May, when its own vaults were drained, node operators paused the entire network within minutes and kept it offline for 13 hours. A network that can stop when its own funds are at risk, but refuses to do so when someone else’s funds are at risk, is not “like Bitcoin.” Bitcoin cannot be stopped. THORChain can—it simply chooses when to do so.

RWAs crossed $22B by May 2026, up ~75% YoY. But here's the question most people skip: if you buy a tokenized asset, how do you actually earn from it? Tokenization doesn't invent new returns, it changes how and when new returns reach you. 🧵👇

Flashback: Sept 22, 2017, @SatoshiLite and @JStefanop1 successfully made the first cross-chain atomic swap between Litecoin and Bitcoin. Atomic swaps, also known as cross-chain atomic swaps, enable the peer-to-peer exchange of cryptocurrencies operating on different blockchains without a centralized intermediary. The term "atomic" comes from atomicity, a database principle ensuring that a transaction is indivisible. Atomic swaps are powered by Hashed Timelock Contracts (HTLCs). An HTLC is a smart contract that requires both parties to meet specific cryptographic conditions within a set timeframe to execute a transaction. It has two key components: a hashlock and a timelock. A hashlock secures the deposited cryptocurrency until both parties provide cryptographic proof that they have fulfilled their side of the agreement. $LTC ⚡️

$GRAB : CONNECT THE DOTS GUYS First, they spent $1.49B for 60% of Atome to expand Financial Services and push deeper into lending. Then management said that it planned to complete the remaining $900M share buyback over the next 12 months. Now CEO Anthony Tan personally buys roughly $30M of $GRAB at $2.89. They tried to grow earnings power, then reduce the share count and then the CEO puts his own money into the same equity. They are allocating capital because they know the stock is undervalued and the business is entering a stronger earnings phase.

Reminder, the Canary Litecoin ETF is available on Schwab.

$GRAB CEO Anthony Tan buys 10,350,000 shares of Grab at $2.89/share. Anthony has been a net seller on the open market since the company went public. This is first open market purchase. Obviously, for him to buy $30M of stock while his net worth is around $300-400M shows how significant of a purchase this is and how much he thinks the market has lost their minds on this name. We are now looking at a public valuation LOWER than what Grab was worth in the private markets. Their enterprise value is $7B and they will profitably do $4.2B of revenue this year. Really nice to see an insider buy — it has been a tough hold but the broader thesis, in my opinion, is being executed in a VERY strong way with a horrible macro backdrop . For a CEO who has been criticized for many insider sells (many of which were pre-planned and also deserved given the guy founded the company and wasn’t liquid for a decade) it is nice to see him put almost 10% of his net worth into the company he started 15 years ago via purchases on the open market. Grab Holdings President & COO Alexander Charles Hungate also bought $867K of $GRAB with 299,571 shares at a $2.89 avg. The markets are the greatest game on earth, they will test your patience, they will turn your stomach inside out, they will drive you crazy as the price of an asset goes down while fundamentals get better, every bear case will make more sense as you see the price go down, but one thing is clear: execution and compounding earnings wins in the end. It’s nice to see a C-suite that believes in that themselves and takes advantage of that with a sizeable amount of their personal networth. The story continues!

Privacy isn't about hiding; it's about boundaries. Litecoin ➡️ MWEB. Privacy when you need it.

MWEB, Private Litecoin, has had a 200% net increase in adoption in the last year. From Sept 15 this year and last year, that's the growth MWEB has had in terms of balance. That directly translates into ACTIVITY. 100s even 1000s of peg-ins, peg-outs, inputs, and outputs across extension blocks every DAY, day in day out. People are using $LTC, people are choosing privacy, people are choosing Litecoin. Litecoin is for the people.

$GRAB will expand its Singapore autonomous-vehicle fleet from 10 to 50 vehicles within six months, with more than 110,000km already driven autonomously. It plans to launch point-to-point AV rides in Punggol before gradually opening the service to the public with commercial fares in Q4 2026.

The easiest way to explain $GRAB Imagine Uber + DoorDash + fintech sitting inside one app across Southeast Asia. Mobility. Food delivery. Grocery delivery. Payments. Financial services. Advertising. $GRAB is massive!

Private markets used to be for the ultra-wealthy. Tokenization is changing that. It turns a real asset, real estate, art, equity in a company, into a digital token on the blockchain. A $1M property split into 1,000 tokens means you can own a slice for $1,000 instead of the full amount.

The dream is real.

🇺🇸 NEW: Singapore Exchange is preparing to offer crypto perpetual futures to US institutions, making it the first major traditional exchange to bring the trade mainstream.

Building a company usually takes months. SpaceXAI is giving Grok Bot 3 days and a livestream. From September 15 to 17, the team will use Grok Bot for everything from the first idea and product build to real engineering, sales, and deployment. No polished demo after the fact. We get to watch the whole thing happen live. This might be the most public AI coworker stress test yet. @Grok @SpaceXAI / Writer: Annette, Grok Imagine Designer: Janné

$3 billion says a lot of people think digging tunnels is about to get much bigger. The Boring Company just closed a Series D round led by the UAE, pushing its valuation to $23 billion. Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, Vy Capital and Temasek are in too. That money goes toward turning more cities into places where traffic can move underground instead of just sitting on top of itself. More tunnels. Fewer brake lights. @boringcompany / Writer: Annette, Grok Imagine Designer: Janné
