oh i forgot to reply to you. USDT0 run their own validation mechanism (which fits in as a DVN) -- on CCIP you can't add your own security. there is a growing trend that large players and institutions want to be, or MUST be, a part of their own security stack. Paxos/PayPal, Ondo, etc. x.com/josefabregab/s…

Day 3 of me asking what specific security property does @LayerZero_Core provide that @chainlink CCIP can't. Every time I ask the question: > I get called names > LZ maxis claim CCIP is clunky > I'm told apps can't evade court orders with CCIP (?) > I get replies about customization instead of security > I get told to stop asking questions But, not once have I gotten a concrete answer. I'm starting to think the answer is "none".

Die SEC steht offenbar kurz davorsteht, ein neues Regelwerk für sogenannte „tokenisierte Aktien“ einzuführen. Das ganze könnte noch diese Woche durch eine "innovation exemption" umgesetzt werden und langfristig einer der größten Veränderungen für die Finanzmärkte werden. Im Grunde geht es darum, dass Aktien wie Apple, Tesla oder Nvidia künftig auch als digitale Tokens auf der Blockchain gehandelt werden könnten. Diese Tokens könnten theoretisch: • 24/7 handelbar sein • weltweit verfügbar sein • direkt über Krypto-Plattformen laufen • deutlich schneller abgewickelt werden Besonders interessant ist aber, dass es offenbar nicht nur um „echte“ tokenisierte Aktien geht, sondern auch um sogenannte „Third-Party Tokens“. Das bedeutet: Plattformen könnten Tokens anbieten, die lediglich den Kurs einer Aktie nachbilden, selbst wenn das eigentliche Unternehmen gar nichts direkt damit zu tun hat. Hier wird es spannend, denn die SEC scheint aktuell anzudeuten, dass Plattformen langfristig echte Rechte anbieten müssen, wenn solche Tokens wie normale Aktien behandelt werden sollen. Zum Beispiel: • Dividenden • Stimmrechte • rechtlichen Eigentumsanspruch Aber dadurch wird das Ganze plötzlich deutlich zentralisierter, denn sobald du solche Rechte abbilden willst, brauchst du: • KYC • Nutzerdaten • regulatorische Kontrolle • zentrale Infrastruktur Die Technologie bleibt also zwar Blockchain-basiert, aber das System bewegt sich immer stärker Richtung regulierter Finanzwelt. Ich halte euch auf dem laufenden!

Following recent bridge exploits, Lido contributors are publishing the security principles behind wstETH’s multi-chain strategy, and why @chainlink CCIP was selected as the official cross-chain solution. The analysis covers how Chainlink CCIP delivers strong decentralization, native safeguards, and issuer control as default protocol-level guarantees, which insulates wstETH from a number of attack vectors behind the Kelp / LayerZero exploit. This decision was made last November by the Network Expansion Committee, with CCIP securing wstETH via 16 independent node operators, native rate limiting, and no vendor lock-in over token contracts.

JUST IN: The U.S. Senate Banking Committee voted to advance the CLARITY Act to the Senate floor.

Without the Clarity Act, the digital asset industry will move offshore to any nation that has regulators willing to engage. Every day that we stall is a day we hand our competitors an advantage we won't get back. The Clarity Act is critical to securing our financial future.

After review, Kraken found that Chainlink CCIP meets strict security and risk management requirements. With CCIP, Kraken Wrapped Assets gains access to enterprise-grade cross-chain security, backed by secure-by-default infrastructure and institutional certifications (ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2). By bridging Kraken’s securely custodied Bitcoin across DeFi, Kraken is expanding Bitcoin's distribution and utility, unleashing its full potential as a premium collateral asset.

Kraken is deprecating its existing cross-chain provider and migrating to @Chainlink CCIP as its exclusive cross-chain infra to secure Kraken Wrapped Bitcoin (kBTC) & all future Kraken Wrapped Assets. Kraken chose Chainlink CCIP because it offers enterprise-grade infrastructure with strict security & risk management requirements, including: • ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications • Secure by default architecture • 16 independent nodes • Native rate limits, and more. Together, Chainlink and Kraken can help accelerate the global adoption of crypto by unlocking utility and distribution for all Kraken Wrapped Assets across DeFi. For kBTC customers, no action is required. More details on the migration process to follow on official Kraken channels.

NEW: Leading crypto exchange @krakenfx is deprecating its legacy cross-chain provider and migrates to Chainlink CCIP. Starting with kBTC, all current and future Kraken Wrapped Assets will use CCIP for secure distribution across blockchains and global markets.

With CLARITY heading into markup, digital assets are stepping into a new era. The CLARITY Compliance Framework by Space and Time gives issuers and intermediaries the verifiable infrastructure to meet the new disclosure, reserve, reward, and reporting requirements taking shape.

@heythereRich @AdrianGHCaskets @nullpackets @knilniahc that’s not a list i would be proud of lmao

@AdrianGHCaskets @nullpackets @knilniahc Where's LINK? Oh...they fell out the bottom! If you'd prefer to avoid the reality here, below, and to have the CCIP conversation we can do that...that'll be fun.

Reduce friction you say? Collateral mobility you say? Dependable architecture built for scale you say? XRPL.
