Thrilled to share a remarkable moment from our XDC Network Institutional Lunch at the House of Commons, London - an inspiring gathering of global leaders shaping the future of digital assets.
We were honored to welcome senior representatives from some of the world’s most influential institutions - including JP Morgan, Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, Mastercard, Incore Bank, NatWest Group, Deutsche Bank, Galaxy, Cumberland, Flow Traders, B2C2, Royal London Asset Management, the Embassy of Switzerland, and many more.
The room was filled with expertise, curiosity, and a shared commitment to responsible innovation.
The afternoon opened with powerful remarks from Dr. Lisa Cameron, followed by a warm welcome from Lord Ranger of Northwood and Atul Khekade.
We also held an emotional and meaningful tribute to our dear friend Ken “KC” Chapman, honoring his legacy with the XDC Network Impact Investing Award.
Over lunch, we explored two major themes driving institutional adoption:
AI, Quantum & Digital Assets with insights from Simon Barnby (Archax), Emilio Anting (Franklin Templeton), and Dr. Omri Ross (eToro).
Real-world tokenization at scale, featuring the incredible Brazil case study presented by Diego Consimo.
Immense gratitude to everyone who joined us at this iconic venue.
The energy, collaboration, and optimism in the room showed just how far our industry has come - and how much we can build together.
More to come soon.

$XDC joining the AIMA is bigger than most realize.
Currently they are the ONLY public DLT in here & for good reason.
AIMA = Alternative Investment Management Association
That matters more than it sounds.
AIMA isn’t a crypto group.
It's a global policy, standards and advocacy body for the alternative investment and asset industry.
In other words, this is where real capital coordinates on markets outside of traditional capital markets.
So what are “alternative investments”?
At the surface:
Commodities
Real estate
Private credit
Private equity
But that’s only half the picture.
Under the hood, alternatives are where trade finance lives.
And as we know, that's EXACTLY the target market that XDC has been building around all along.
Things like:
Invoice receivables
Trade receivables
Purchase order financing
Commodity-backed loans
Electronic bills of lading
Short-term export and import financing
These are not niche markets.
They represent trillions in global value flow, much of it still handled through fragmented, paper-heavy systems.
Many of which we've already seen XDC already bringing on-chain with both public & private sector leaders.
As trade finance and alternative markets move toward digitization, they face three hard requirements:
Legal clarity
Operational standards
Infrastructure that can scale globally
AIMA exists to help define those standards.
XDC isn’t being brought in as a “crypto experiment.”
They've proven everything from theory to utility all the way to real-world action.
Being first into AIMA doesn’t mean instant outcomes.
But it does mean XDC now has a seat at the table where rules & frameworks are being shaped.

This interview with @riteshkakkad , Co-Founder of @XDCNetwork , was originally broadcast on @Bloomberg
Recorded at the World Trade Center in New York, the discussion explores how blockchain is moving beyond experimentation into real institutional use cases, from stablecoins and real-world asset tokenization to ETFs, regulatory clarity, and cross-border settlement.
We’re sharing this on our YouTube channel for community members who may have missed the original broadcast.

XDC Network in Institutional Conversations: What the Community Should Know
A recent SEC filing has drawn attention across the digital asset space, a Form 485A registration for a proposed leveraged XDC-linked ETF in the United States.
The filing describes a fund structure designed to seek daily leveraged exposure to XDC price movements, primarily through regulated financial instruments such as swaps and derivatives.
Why does this matter?
• XDC is being referenced in formal U.S. regulatory filings.
• Institutional product designers are exploring XDC-linked exposure.
• It reflects growing awareness of XDC within traditional market frameworks.
Form N-1A registration statement / prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on January 14, 2026 by Listed Funds Trust for a proposed investment product called the Teucrium Leveraged XDC ETF. Link in comment ⏬
XDC Network v2.6.8 (Cancun) is scheduled on Block 98,800,200
This upgrade brings XDC fully in sync with Ethereum Cancun while strengthening what matters most:
• EIP-1559 on mainnet
• Faster & leaner EVM performance
• Stronger consensus & RPC stability
• Solidity v0.8.28 compatibility
v2.6.8 reinforces XDC’s long-term focus on real-world production use cases, RWAs, trade finance, cross-border payments, and scalable dApps, with protocol-level reliability institutions expect from a Layer 1.
Node operators: this is a hard fork. Please upgrade your node before block 98,800,200.
