Ever wonder what it’s like to go undercover… then run a PLC? Ex-Met Police. Chairman. Best-selling author & King’s Trust Ambassador. Real lessons, no filter.

Thanks for the support.

🤣🤣🤣”is this dancing in ice…” oh mate we feel your pain

Absolutely bang on from SJ

@IamAustinHealey Felix Jones was a huge loss and we are now paying the price. Italy are now a quality side. Well coached. Strong scrum. Talented backs. England have a strong scrum and talented backs…coaching leaves a lot to be desired

EMBARRASSED BY Italy

Probably true 😂 The Crystal Palace and Brighton ‘rivalry’

Big moves indeed

Institutions globally are rapidly adopting Injective to launch tokenized assets. This week DigiShares, a global leader in white-label tokenization software for real world assets (RWAs), is integrating its tokenization platform with Injective through a strategic collaboration with publicly traded company @ValereumPLC. For the @DigiSharesDK global client base of approximately 200 asset issuers spanning 40+ countries, this integration provides immediate access to Injective which is today the only blockchain specifically optimized for speed and institutional-grade performance for finance. This collaboration unites institutional-grade issuance technology, regulated market infrastructure, and decentralized finance liquidity into a single ecosystem designed to streamline the entire lifecycle of digital securities. The integration taps directly into Injective's native RWA stack, which provides institutions with a compliance-focused solution for launching permissioned asset-backed tokens while maintaining full control over address-level interactions. Since launching its native EVM mainnet in November 2025, Injective has accelerated its positioning as a leading infrastructure layer for onchain capital markets, combining a high-performance order book, advanced derivatives primitives, and a MultiVM environment with native EVM support. This architecture, together with Injective’s RWA-focused modules, is designed to support regulated financial institutions, tokenization platforms, and exchanges that need deterministic performance and robust risk controls. This end-to-end flow strengthens Injective’s broader RWA strategy, which already includes initiatives such as onchain Pre-IPO perpetual futures markets, programmable RWAs and a growing ecosystem of institutional partners building specialized markets on top of Injective. The result is a more complete RWA stack that combines compliance, interoperability, and capital efficiency for issuers and investors worldwide.

Gary Cottle CEO of @ValereumPLC outlined how the company is seeking to connect tokenisation with banking-as-a-service, highlighting the early stages of real-world asset tokenisation and growing momentum across areas such as real estate and natural resources. He pointed to increasing activity across the sector as platforms and participants move from development into execution…. @ValereumPLC @proactive_x #ValereumPLC #Defi #Tokenisation #DigitalAssets #RealWorldAssets #FinTech #BlockchainFinance #BankingAsAService #CapitalMarkets #ProactiveInvestors #Digitalbanking proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news…

Deal complete 🚨 1/ Big milestone for #VLRM $VLRM @ValereumPLC has completed a $200m senior-secured agreement with QGP, transforming its financial firepower and strategic runway. 2/ The economics matter: • $200m principal (On maturity, Valereum will receive the full USD 200 million principal) - let that sink in 😉 • 7.95% coupon = $15.9m annual income • Principal returned Dec 2030 • Long-term alignment to Nasdaq / NYSE This is patient, institutional-grade capital. 3/ What does this unlock? The ability to scale fast without dilution or short-term pressure. This is capital designed to build infrastructure, not plug gaps. 4/ Strategic focus areas now being accelerated: → Tokenisation & issuance → Payments & banking-as-a-service → Custody, wallets & crypto APIs → Distribution, advisory & origination 5/ Bottom line: Valereum now has the balance sheet, income visibility, and strategic alignment to become a regulated backbone of digital capital markets. Execution phase begins. #RWA #Tokenisation #AI #Defi #Aquis 🔗 Full RNS: vlrm.com/link/rLw1Xe

Happy New Year! 2026 will be a banger

Correct. My Tesla and SpaceX shares, which are almost all my “wealth”, only go up in value as a function of how much useful product those companies produce and service. This means my “wealth” can only increase due to producing more products and services for the public. Moreover, anyone else who is a shareholder in Tesla and SpaceX, which incudes employees, participates in the upside of stock appreciation. That is because I am a maker, not a taker like the Bernie Sanders type politicians of the world. They take and they’re on the take, because they cannot or will not make.

Xx. A journey for sure. Most important part is to know the destination. 2026 here we come.

Off and running

Larry knows

Nice comment.
