Please inform @CharuSan83 , the stablecoin IS a bridge asset, and it's what Ripple is built on, per Cassie in the clip above. She manages the UK and EURO and has been with Ripple for 9 years. Thank you.

We hosted SF's only co-ed mixer with more women than men. 45 women, 35 men, and 4 relationships I personally know came out of it. And I'm the guy who went viral for staying "single until series B." Here's the storytime: One random Sunday I tweeted that there should be a singles mixer for YC and a16z speedrun founders. The shitpost hit top news on X. Consensus: "no women will sign up." Instead, dozens of women DMed me: "please make it happen, just keep the ratio right." @dianeemccormack from Fondo offered to run it. @peggy_wang from SparkChat & @parthma said they're single and in. While we planned, I went viral again with my bro @contextconor for joking I'd stay "single until series B." @gregisenberg called it the single worst trend to come out of silicon valley. People called me "everything wrong with SF," said incels were killing the city's dating culture (fun fact: it doesn't exist). So now I was the "single until series B" guy throwing SF's biggest singles mixer. The irony was not lost on me. But a million views, thousands of DMs, and hundreds on the waitlist were counting on me. @pulley signed on to sponsor. So I leaned in. I asked @peggy_wang to be the face of it, dunking on the techbros: sign up so you don't end up like me, single until series B. I was guiding people to a treasure I couldn't possess. And it worked. Best event I've ever hosted. Curated people from every walk of life, not just YC founders, actually hit it off. The girls' group chat is still popping lol. Moral: you can have your cake and eat it too. It's just harder. You can stay "single until series B" and still help everyone else find their person. As @gregisenberg put it in his tweet calling us out: you can have it all. (all love, I like his work) This is independent of my startup @KoyalAI, which helps people make films with AI. Yes, also controversial. I can't help it.

DTCC is approaching a live demonstration of tokenization using assets held at The Depository Trust Company (DTC). To underscore the significance of this milestone, we break down what tokenization is, how it works, and how it may help enhance the efficiency, accessibility, and transparency of assets ownership. Learn more about our tokenization initiatives: dtcc.com/digital-assets…

The LARGEST Securities Settlement system on EARTH ($4.7 QUADRILLION/YR) JUST VALIDATED THE $XRP THESIS 👀‼️ @The_DTCC in their latest report: “Without interoperability, assets remain trapped in isolated pools… market participants need rails that are safe, neutral and offer a high degree of reliability” #ILP and $XRP were built for exactly this, a decade ago. 🧩 Now connect the dots: 2025: @The_DTCC patent US20250078162A1 is published after 18 months under confidentiality → meaning @The_DTCC was designing around the #XRPL as a cross-ledger liquidity network back in 2023. Mar 2026: @Ripple Prime goes live in @The_DTCC NCSS clearing directory. May 2026: @Ripple Prime joins the DTCC’s tokenization working group to design their tokenisation service to bring $114 Trillion in assets on-chain. Watch the video below to the end. Then watch it again. These are NOT coincidences…👀 Credit @24hrscrypto1 for 🎞️
