Another day, another Fortune 500 🤝 Welcome @Repsol - the energy company servicing 90+ countries globally - to @Hedera ⬇️

🚨This slide may be one of the biggest updates we've gotten from $QNT And it refers to none other than the developments with LACChain down in Latin America. This was a partnership Quant established back in 2021 for the largest public permissioned DLT operation on Earth. The scope was to bring all of Latin America and the Caribbean economies on-chain. As much of this initiative is likely under NDA with coordination from multiple governments & core banks, we haven't heard too much. But this recent presentation between LACChain and Quant showcased a few key hints. Here's what we now know: ✅LACChain deployed settlement mDapp ✅Tokenized deposit support by LATAM banks ✅Integrate off-chain apps & settlement rails This is EXACTLY the type of activity we've seen from Quant over the past few years with RLN & Rosalind too. Leading institutions around the globe are beginning to see this method as the new standard. And once again, it's no coincidence that all of this is beginning to be revealed as ISO TC 307 standards are nearing finalization. Things could get real exciting from here.

Hedera's Leemon Baird highlighted the potential of distributed ledger technology in advancing AI. In recent months, $HBAR's importance in work with EQTY Lab has been more apparent, especially with Accenture's usage for AI in businesses.

"When you look back on every decade in tech, there's one thing that really dominated. I think this will be the one in this next decade.... I think you should really take a hard look at this space. Because we're not only changing the platform on what you build, but we're changing what you can build. It's a new kind of platform." Chris Dixon on $ICP

𝗔 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗔𝗜 𝗘𝗥𝗔 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗛𝗘𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗔 𝘅 𝗡𝗩𝗜𝗗𝗜𝗔 🧠 NVIDIA just launched Nemotron 3, a brand-new family of open AI models designed to help developers build smarter, more efficient AI systems that can work together as teams of AI “agents.” These models come in three sizes (Nano, Super, Ultra), letting companies choose the right balance of speed, cost, and reasoning power for their needs. What makes Nemotron 3 special is its open-source nature and its hybrid mixture-of-experts architecture, which means it can think across long tasks more efficiently and keep context over huge amounts of information. That’s ideal for complex workflows like software debugging, summarizing large docs, or managing multi-step processes. One big real-world partnership here is with ServiceNow, a company that automates enterprise workflows. @ServiceNow is a Hedera Council member, and through this relationship, Nemotron 3 is being integrated in ways that could tie AI workflows with distributed ledger tech. That means companies might soon use AI that’s fast and smart, while also having immutable, auditable histories and transparent records thanks to Hedera’s blockchain-style trust layer. ServiceNow and @nvidia say this combo will help businesses speed up agentic AI, boost automation, and scale intelligent workflows with accuracy and reliability. Another very good news for $HBAR holders. Are you ready for what’s coming next ? #AI #Web3 #HBAR

🌋 The multichain future is no longer theoretical IMF-authored research has explicitly referenced XRP- and XLM-based settlement models for cross-border value exchange. Ripple USD (RLUSD) is expanding to L2 networks via Wormhole using the NTT token standard, enabling true multichain stablecoin distribution. Wrapped XRP (wXRP) allows XRP + RLUSD to function as a liquidity pair across ecosystems like Base, Optimism, Polkadot, and beyond. This is not speculation. This is rails being laid. At the same time, Hedera hosts its largest leadership panel of 2025 on Tuesday, Dec 16, bringing together: • Dr. Leemon Baird • Mance Harmon • Eric Piscini • Charles Adkins • Kamal Youssefi Covering where the network has been, where it is today, and how Hedera is positioning itself as a trust layer for the digital economy. Zoom out and the alignment is unmistakable: • BIS and banks test tokenized cross-border money • Circle expands cross-chain infrastructure • Visa builds stablecoin advisory frameworks • JPMorgan launches tokenized money market funds • IMF research references XRP- and XLM-based settlement architectures Hedera announced Block Nodes, a major step toward decentralized, cost-efficient data infrastructure arriving in 2026. Interoperability, custody, stablecoins, and tokenization are becoming standard financial plumbing.

This is an institutional cycle. Whether we like it or not. Big corporations are taking over. That’s why the majority are losing. That’s why many are quitting. And that’s why it doesn’t feel easy anymore. This cycle wasn’t designed to make everyone rich. It was designed for institutions to slowly take over the market. Surpressing price, while they accumulate in the shadows. Institutions haven’t been pumping the market the way we are used to. And not the way we all hoped for and expected. Why? They are accumulating patiently. Slowly. In conditions that feel frustrating and underwhelming to all of us. Sideways price. Censored news. Controlled pump and dumps. That’s not by mistake. It’s the environment they prefer. And this is why the cycle has been so frustrating so far. Making the majority, including me, considering quitting this market forever. But I do have some good news. There is one silver lining in all of this. The part most people overlook. Institutions don’t accumulate forever. Eventually, they finish building positions. I don’t know exactly when that happens. No one does. But cycles don’t stay compressed forever. In fact, the longer a market is suppressed, the more violent the breakout becomes in the future. That’s the trade-off. This phase isn’t at all about winning quickly. It’s about lasting. Staying mentally intact. Staying in the game while others quietly step away. You don’t need perfect timing or hopium. You just need to survive this part. Because when expansion eventually returns - and it always does - it won’t reward those who left early. It will reward those who endured when it was uncomfortable to believe at all.

I want to first say, Justin Bons, you’re a paid Solana shill and one heck of an NPC, but besides that, didn’t I tell you all that Sui would soon have another network failure or something similar and that I would bask in its failure at that moment? Well, welcome everyone, we are at that point. I’m not even going to go deep into it. But never ever, and I say it once again, never ever compare this trash marketed as gold to $ICP again. They certainly are not "both good tech". The Internet Computer is simply unmatched and in its own category lol.

🏆Some golden nuggets to the work $QNT has done Quant's Goncola Lima explains the process & demands of working with leading UK banks. "Orchestration layer for financial institutions to bring their own ledgers" In doing so, Quant's created a solution PERFECTLY fit for both large & small scale enterprises and institutions. Large scaled banks with their existing ledgers? Simply plug your ledger into Overledger and enjoy interoperability across other institutions. Smaller scaled enterprises without their own ledgers? Plug into Overledger and leverage the core central infrastructure to enable tokenization seamlessly! Slowly but surely, we're seeing Overledger become the All-In-One solution. And as always, the key point here is LEDGER AGNOSTIC infrastructure & support. As long as the infrastructure complies to regulatory standards... Overledger will do the rest🌐

BREAKING: BRIAN ARMSTRONG JUST CONFIRMED THE REVOLUTION ON CNBC. “A new financial system is being built and it’s not built by the banks. It’s built on crypto.” His words. Not mine. What does it mean? - Instant global settlements - Stronger, permissionless credit - 24/7 access to capital anywhere on earth - Open markets that no one can shut down This isn’t about coins pumping. This is about power shifting back to the people. Block by block, crypto is dismantling the old plumbing of finance and replacing it with something unbreakable. Armstrong isn’t predicting the future. He’s building it. You’re not speculating on a trend. You’re front-running a revolution. The old system is dying. The new one is already running. Choose your side.

𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗢 𝗜𝗦 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗝𝗢𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗔𝗡𝗬𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 💥 NATO DIANA just announced its largest cohort ever with 150 innovators selected for the 2026 Challenge Programme across 10 critical tech areas, spanning AI, secure communications, autonomy, energy, and resilience, a clear signal that defense innovation is scaling fast and getting more selective. This is not experimentation anymore ! It is deployment-grade innovation tied directly to NATO priorities and real-world use cases. One standout here is @Neuron_World, selected under advanced communications, building secure edge infrastructure for autonomous systems and AI coordination, with architecture aligned to Hedera’s enterprise-grade DLT strengths around trust, integrity, and low-latency verification, exactly the kind of stack defense and critical infrastructure care about when things move from lab to field. #AI #Defense #Army #HBAR

🔥Another industry giant joins the $HBAR ecosystem The Global Blockchain Business Council's (GBBC) one of the most respected Enterprise DLT organizations Some names under them include - Interwork Alliance - Blockchain in Transport Alliance - US Blockchain Coalition Needless to say, they're quite a powerhouse with regards to real-world integration of DLT. In other words, both GBBC & Hedera's core ethos and long-term vision of DLT are well aligned. This partnership is specifically focus on building TRUSTED STANDARDS & public-private collaboration. Now when we think of trusted standards, perhaps the most trusted standards organizations are none other than ISO. After all, they are the International Organization for Standardization. And in this case, it's quite obvious the standards they're discussing refer to standards within DLT. As we know, ISO already has a standard for this. It's titled ISO TC 307, the standard for blockchain & DLT This standard was founded by none other than $QNT CEO Gilbert Verdian. To add to this, we recently saw the GBBC join ISO TC 307 as a Category A liaison. The highest level of liaison groups within ISO. And we've also formerly discussed the ties between Quant and Hedera. These ties range from, IBM connections, UK government overlap, Paolo Tasca's role & much more. And now, with this partnership from Hedera... It just adds all that much more to the mix. Things are truly beginning to get interesting in the Enterprise DLT & standardization landscape👀

‼️RLUSD WILL BREAK THE USDT-USDC DUOPOLY IN THE STABLECOIN MARKET‼️ The stablecoin market is evolving beyond a two issuer structure.🙇‍♂️ Bitcoin Suisse forecasts a shift toward a multi issuer environment as institutionally anchored stablecoins gain share on public settlement rails, reducing USDT and USDC’s combined dominance.⏳ RLUSD is positioned at the forefront of this transition.✅ Ripple’s acquisition of prime broker Hidden Road allows RLUSD to integrate directly into institutional trading, margining, and settlement workflows, embedding it where liquidity is generated and recycled.🧩 This stands in contrast to USDT’s offshore liquidity concentration and USDC’s payments driven expansion.😶‍🌫️ Bitcoin Suisse anticipates at least one bank or fintech backed USD stablecoin surpassing $10B in supply as the duopoly weakens. RLUSD matches that profile through regulatory alignment, capital markets integration, and direct access to institutional liquidity.💎 Documented.📝👇

‼️ HOW RIPPLE INTEGRATES DIRECTLY INTO TRADITIONAL FINANCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE ‼️ Ripple is not built to replace existing financial relationships. It integrates directly into current systems, strengthening the settlement layer of global payment networks, as documented below. 📝💯 By connecting to RippleNet, banks avoid the inefficiencies and fragmentation that come from deploying blockchain systems in isolation. Ripple works alongside financial institutions, embedding XRP-based solutions within already regulated payment environments. This allows legacy systems to be enhanced without altering their core structure.☝️ The result is faster, lower-cost global payments that remain aligned with existing regulatory frameworks. This integration-first approach supports real adoption of blockchain technology across mainstream finance.✅ Ripple’s seamless interoperability with legacy infrastructure is what positions it as a meaningful driver of transformation within the global financial system.🤝
