This is how Lithuania 🇱🇹 celebrated its independence from russia (USSR) a few days ago. Pretty cool is you ask me. Also, look into the distance 🇺🇦

Su Lietuvos valstybės atkūrimo diena! 🇱🇹 Today we celebrate Lithuania 🇱🇹 and honour its steadfast commitment to NATO’s collective defence and our shared security.

🇱🇹 LITHUANIA UNDER PROTEST SIEGE: THOUSANDS IN VILNIUS RALLY AGAINST GOV'S MEDIA CONTROL PUSH The pro-EU Lithuanian government's facing massive heat in Vilnius - over 10,000 folks stormed the streets, protesting proposed laws that'd make it easier to boot the public broadcaster LRT's director, basically handing politicians more sway over independent media. Critics, including the European Broadcasting Union, are sounding alarms that this threatens press freedom big time, with changes to dismissal rules seen as a sneaky power grab. Protesters chanted "hands off" the media, demanding no meddling in free speech. This isn't the first wave - earlier rallies early December drew similar crowds. The government's defending it as reforms, but the backlash is real. As are European frustrations over lacking media independence. Source: LRT, EBU, OCCRP

Lithuania is on fire. Demonstrating against the government. The protest is about media freedom and indipendence of the public broadcaster. They are sick and tired of the fake pro-European coverage (anti-Russia).

🚨🇱🇹BREAKING: The Pro EU-Government of Lithuania is under SIEGE by Massive Protests in Vilnius the past 10 days. The Government threatened to take Full Control of Media. Europeans are taking back their Nations!

BITWISE CIO JUST OBLITERATED THE MSTR “FORCED SELLING” FUD Matt Hougan walked through the numbers and made it simple: 💰 ~$8B in debt against ~$60B in Bitcoin 🏦 ~$1.4B in cash on hand 💸 ~$800M per year in interest ⏳ No meaningful debt due until 2027 For MicroStrategy to be forced to sell $BTC, #Bitcoin would need to drop ~90%. And if that happens, everyone has bigger problems than $MSTR. This isn’t opinion, it’s balance-sheet math. The forced-selling narrative doesn’t survive contact with the numbers.

Don't trust, verify. #Bitcoin

The FUD coming out is relentless… look at what they said “MSTR can avoid forced sales by keeping its enterprise value-to-Bitcoin holdings ratio above 1.0” This is absolutely FALSE, there is no forcing function to sell the BTC Ignore the FUD and buy the dip.

Wall Street thinks Avalanche Institutional adoption matters. A lot. This is a multi-TRILLION dollar opportunity for all blockchains. Now, while every chain claims they are built for institutions, few can back it up. Avalanche backs it up. Proof: - Over $3.4b in tokenized assets already live on Avalanche. - Trillion-dollar asset managers are actively deploying stablecoins, RWAs, tokenized FX, and structured credit products on Avalanche. - The largest payment processors in the world, such as Visa and TIS, use Avalanche tech. In this post, we’ll explore why institutions choose Avalanche, key use cases driving adoption, and where the industry is going. Let’s begin. Why Institutions Choose Avalanche: >Instant transaction settlement GDP is defined as the velocity of money multiplied by the money supply. The faster money moves, the higher an economy’s GDP. Avalanche allows institutions to move money fast with sub-second transaction finality. Few can claim this, with L2s often taking days to finalize transactions. Plus, there is peace of mind knowing the result of a multi-million dollar money transfer immediately. >Customizable blockchains Institutions need their own blockspace with their own rules. Using a public chain can break privacy laws and regulations, reveal security risks, and slow transactions at times of high volume. Avalanche allows anyone to spin up their own Avalanche L1 in minutes with their own rules tailored to their use case. Bonus: Avalanche L1s can seamlessly communicate and move assets between each other without any additional trust assumptions. >Thriving ecosystem Avalanche instantly connects you with the industry’s best. Institutions can immediately leverage existing defi tools on the C-Chain, and leverage partnerships with institutional giants already building here. Now, who is building here? Key Institutional Use Cases: >Nonco: Launched an institutional-grade FX trading protocol on Avalanche, bringing deep liquidity to stablecoin markets like USDMXN via RFQ models, atomic settlement, and bank integrations. >Lynq (by Arca and Tassat): Enables real-time, yield-bearing settlement with tokenized U.S. Treasury funds, built for institutional scale and compliance. >Visa: Expanded stablecoin settlement to Avalanche-based stablecoins. >Rain: Powers global card issuing, letting users spend from wallets anywhere Visa is accepted, supporting fintechs in cross-border payments. >Wyoming’s Frontier Token (FRNT): First state-issued stablecoin, spendable via Rain at Visa merchants. >StraitsX: Simplifies cross-border payments in Southeast Asia with Ant International and Grab, using Avalanche for tourism spending. >Axiym: Provides Liquidity-as-a-Service for global payments, integrating with networks like Terrapay. >BDACS and Woori Bank: Launched KRW1, a won-backed stablecoin on Avalanche. >TIS Inc.: Japan’s largest credit-card processor, launched a Multi-Token Platform for stablecoins and digital securities. >JPYC: Approved for Japan’s first yen-stablecoin, with Avalanche as a key ecosystem player. > OpenTrade: Offers stablecoin yield products backed by MMFs, ETFs, and private credit, serving neobanks like Criptan and Littio. > Apollo Global Management: Launched ACRED, a tokenized fund for private credit investments on Avalanche. > Intain: Runs a tokenized MBS/ABS platform on an Avalanche L1, saving over 100bps in fees and enabling sub-$100M deals. Partners include WSFS Bank and FIS. > FIS and Intain’s Digital Liquidity Gateway: Connects regional banks to securitize loans efficiently. > Fence: Automates debt administration, cutting middle-office costs by 90% and debt costs by up to 30%. > Grove: Deployed $250M in RWAs, including Janus Henderson’s CLO product. > Inversion Capital: an L1 for blockchain-native private equity, acquiring traditional businesses for on-chain efficiency. > KKR: Tokenized part of its $4B Health Care Growth Fund for wider access and lower minimums. > Homium: Offers tokenized home equity loans without monthly debt burdens. > ParaFi: Tokenized a venture fund interest on Avalanche. > Re: Builds a decentralized reinsurance marketplace for global transparency. > Republic Note: Profit-sharing exposure to venture investments for 3M+ users. > TomNext: Helps wealth managers discover tokenized alternatives with AI analysis. > Balcony: Digitizes $240B in New Jersey property records on an Avalanche L1. > Skybridge Capital: Tokenized $300M of its hedge funds. > Dinari: Creates a settlement layer for tokenized U.S. equities with partners like VanEck and BitGo. Funds and stablecoins: >Circle’s USDC/EURC. >Tether’s USDT. > Agora’s AUSD. > Bitso’s MXNB, MXND, MEXA. > BlackRock’s BUIDL (via Securitize). > WisdomTree funds. > Franklin Templeton’s BENJI. > VanEck’s VBILL (via Securitize). > Wellington’s ULTRA (via Libeara). Institutional Testnets: > Chainlink: Develops AI-powered corporate actions data delivery with Avalanche. > Kinexys by JP Morgan: Used AvaCloud for privacy-enabled tokenization in Project EPIC. > Project Guardian: Connected Kinexys platform to WisdomTree funds on Avalanche for automated portfolio management. > Citi: Built Evergreen L1s for FX trades, tested with T. Rowe Price and Fidelity. >ANZ: Tokenized stablecoins in a Chainlink pilot for cross-chain trades. >Spruce Testnet: Includes T. Rowe Price, WisdomTree, Wellington, Cumberland, Citi, and DTCC for on-chain finance experiments. If you made it this far in the post, just want to say im proud of you. The day one mission of Avalanche was to tokenize all the world’s assets. We envision a world where all assets are digital, programmable, and 24/7 tradable onchain. By definition, this will increase global GDP through money velocity alone. Get excited. It’s GDP onchain It’s 🔺doption It’s institutions, powered by Avalanche🔺
