Join us next week, November 10 at 11:30AM ET, for our Injective livestream with @EricInjective and @CanaryFunds's CEO @StevenMcClurg.
We'll be discussing Injective's latest developments, the road to the INJ ETF, and growing institutional adoption of crypto.

Hear what our founder @jacqmelinek had to say about stablecoins and the biggest headlines on our radar.
As well as the most overrated narrative.

privacy sector circulating mcap went from ~$13.1b to ~$32.6b in 180 days. that's +149%.
zcash:native alone is roughly 63% of the entire market now.
i don't think this is just a flash in the pan hype cycle. ethereum:0xa12cc123ba206d4031d1c7f6223d1c2ec249f4f3 and DTCC are showing up on the same open transaction layer as @FireblocksHQ, which is the kind of setup institutions actually need if they're going to move size onchain without leaking their strategies.
my take is privacy is going to be a required infrastructure for institutional adoption. without it i'm skeptical you get hundreds of millions of institutional capital onchain in a serious way.

Today, @Injective launched Injective Options on testnet, bringing fully collateralized calls and puts across six markets, including U.S. tech companies, gold, silver and oil.
Eric Chen (@ericinjective), co-founder and CEO of Injective, explained on @_TalkingTokens about RWA perps and where options fit onchain:
"There’s so much unexplored territory for the Injective ecosystem and for other ecosystems as well, like the proliferation of options.
So far there hasn’t been really strong capital efficient option venues, or an option venue with a very broad offering.
And then on top of that, I think in general these very, very advanced instruments should be easily accessible, because in the age of AI agents, if you ask them how to place a trade like a hedge fund, they’re going to list out a lot of these instruments that are simply impossible to access as a general user base."

NEW: @BNYglobal now supports @XRP and $RLUSD on its Digital Asset Custody platform, and plans to let clients mint and redeem RLUSD directly through the bank.
The two are also exploring tokenized trade finance on the XRP Ledger with @C2FO.
This comes right after @Ripple got final OCC approval for its national trust bank.
This would let BNY clients hold and move RLUSD within the same bank that safeguards their other assets, and use it beyond custody as collateral and settlement.
Jack McDonald (@_JackMcDonald_), SVP of Stablecoins at Ripple, explained to us last year how RLUSD moving onchain 24/7 makes it useful as collateral, the kind of use BNY and Ripple are now building toward:
"We’re doing some very exciting things with RLUSD, increasingly working with regulators to have that treated as good capital or good collateral ... being able to take advantage of the attributes of it being onchain and how quickly it can move 24/7.
That’s been a big unlock for a lot of the [Ripple Prime] customers."

NEW: @JanusHenderson is launching JQQQ, a tokenized fund licensed to track the Nasdaq-100, built with @centrifuge on @StellarOrg

i’m back
alright i'll be going on vacation for the next few days so handing off the reigns to a new intern
please be nice to them
Worth reading the fine print: $RLUSD will still be issued by Ripple's NYDFS-regulated trust company.
The new national trust bank will manage the reserves, act as collateral trustee for holders and can provide digital asset custody once it opens.
So RLUSD ends up with both a state regulator and federal @USOCC supervision.
TLDR: this is good for Ripple. And RLUSD.
Show more
Big news heading into @RippleSwell: the @USOCC has granted final approval for Ripple National Trust Bank.
This gives Ripple a federally supervised platform to support $RLUSD and provide digital asset custody to enterprises.
We’ve always said crypto and banks work better together — this is what that looks like. Real innovation, real accountability, federal oversight.
The revolution isn't happening outside the system. It's happening from within it.

Tokenized equities on @Mantle_Official have grown 33% since April to $4.4M in market cap, while the number of tokenized assets on the network has climbed from 70 at the start of the year to more than 1,500.
@JoshuaCheong, Head of BD/Product at Mantle, explained on @_TalkingTokens how tokenized equities are having its gold rush moment:
"The main thing that has become almost a gold rush is tokenized equities.
Our industry has figured out the playbook for this, and through fundamentally the brokerage model, you can suddenly open up the access to hundreds, if not thousands of assets."
