@riteshkakkad @XDCNetwork Congrats on the BIG milestone, Ritesh and excited to keep expanding XDC. 🤝

14 years on X — grateful for the journey. Many ups and downs over the years, but one lesson remains: keep building and keep expanding. Continuing to expand masternodes and bring RWA and stablecoins to trade finance with XDC Network.

@King_AnthonyJ @XDC_USA Thanks Anthony 🤝

@XDC_USA @TravisJohn Great to see #XDCNetwork present where institutional finance meets blockchain.

XDC Network will be attending the Digital Asset Summit 2026 in New York City. Our Head of Institutional DeFi, @TravisJohn , will be joining leaders from asset management, financial institutions, and the broader digital asset ecosystem to discuss the growing role of blockchain in institutional finance, tokenization, and real-world asset infrastructure. If you’ll be attending DAS, we welcome the opportunity to connect with the XDC team. Feel free to reach out to coordinate a meeting. #DAS2026 #DigitalAssetSummit #Tokenization #InstitutionalCrypto #RWA #XDCNetwork

@JamesCasey35439 @XDC_USA 🫡

@XDC_USA @TravisJohn The focus on tokenization and RWAs is exactly where #XDCNetwork can bring real value.

@HTanaka34312 @XDC_USA Thanks, Hiroshi 🤝 XDC

@XDC_USA @TravisJohn Great to see $XDC Network at DAS 2026! 🤩 #XDC #DAS2026 #Blockchain

We're just 2 weeks away from @blockworksDAS Let's connect if you'll be in NYC.

@Mr_Blockchain22 @atulkhekade HUGE!!

Something amazing was revealed by @atulkhekade during the RWA London event on the 24th of February. This was unveiled during Mr Atul’s speech. I will be sharing more info as I get my hands on this very soon 😎. Sneak peak photos! Hint: he’s holding it on the first photo! @XDCNetwork

Last year, Digital Asset Summit NYC felt like a "we made it" moment for the industry. The years of yearning for adoption... were finally REAL. Heading back for @blockworksDAS 2026, the energy has shifted again. Now we’re actually running traffic on the rails. DAS is hands down the most important institutional gathering in the US. It gets straight to the mechanics of how the future of finance works. I spend a lot of time curating rooms in this space, so I don't say this lightly -- @Blockworks gets the room right. If you’re around next month, let’s connect. 🤝

@chiiiisensei @XDCNetwork You are correct. As you know, Contour is new to the network, but we are now in working groups with 200 institutions that are part of the next phase of Contour, XDC rails, stablecoin settlements...

@TravisJohn @XDCNetwork I believe there's not much transaction going on at Coutour at the moment. Lots of institutions did PoC but that's all.

Most L1 tokens have a split personality. The lab's entity takes equity, the network has a token, and value gets diluted across both, or, as many have seen recently, value just flows to the lab/equity arm. @XDCNetwork doesn't work that way. There's no separate labs arm, no VC equity layer. All value accrues directly to the XDC token. That's what makes XDC a real credit asset. The token is backed by actual infrastructure: $660M+ in RWA on-chain, $4.8B+ processed through TradeFlow, native @USDC settlement, and 200+ financial institutions migrating through @contourtrade network. I'm looking forward to breaking down how XDC is becoming the credit rail for real-world assets in our upcoming podcast, including what that means for holders, allocators, and institutions over the next 90 days and beyond.

@TrueCryptoPower @XDCNetwork Thanks, Tom. We have the pieces in place, and the plan is being executed! 🤝

@TravisJohn @XDCNetwork Pure value flowing to XDC holders, $660M+ RWAs already live, and credit rails incoming? Bullish. How explosive do you see the next 90 days being for XDC as prime collateral?

@Richarddd102 @XDCNetwork 🫡

@TravisJohn @XDCNetwork COOL

@NevoSayNevo Hey Nevo, appreciate the kind words and the opportunity to connect on legit RWA initiatives. I followed you back and look forward to keeping in touch on ops 🤝

Hey @TravisJohn, solid breakdown — love the nuance on Canton vs hybrid setups like XDC subnets for different RWA tiers. I'm a blockchain fullstack dev with over 6 years shipping dApps and smart contracts (mostly EVM + Solana). Super keen to jump into serious RWA projects. Took part in an Australia real estate RWA build before — handled tokenization, compliance layers, on-chain ownership, and yield flows. Would be stoked to contribute code to something like XDC's trade finance or tokenized RWAs push. DM open if there's room for another dev hand.

Many people still think Canton is just some super-secret private chain for the big banks. It's not. It's public infrastructure with privacy baked in at the domain level - like the internet, but for TradFi trillions in tokenized stuff. The ONE thing everyone does get on CT is the CC traction is insane. DTCC, Goldman, Broadridge: they're all in for ultra-regulated broker-dealer plays, ATS setups, and more... Canton is basically perfect. No question. BUT, I haven't heard enough people saying the nuanced part. Why? Because it's nuanced. Not every institutional dollar needs that level of fortress-level privacy and compliance. Most funds, trade finance, and RWAs that aren't in the hyper-regulated bucket? They can (and do) run just fine on hybrids that still keep some decentralization. That's where networks of networks (NoN) like @XDCNetwork's subnets and Avalanche L1s shine for both public/private use cases right now. Recent network upgrades and eco-partners have put the subnet conversation squarely in play, especially for US participants we're in DD with. - KYC validators built in. - ISO 20022 rails. - Sovereign chains that checkpoint to the mainnet for real security. ~$717M+ in tokenized RWAs already live, USDC integration, Bitgo, Zodia, Anchorage custody... it's happening and you can follow along on tradefi.network As Vitalik said the quiet part out loud yesterday, Ethereum L2s are valuable, but they are a fragmented mess with liquidity splits, bridge risks, and retail UX hell. Yes, great for memes, terrible for serious money that has to answer to regulators. So we're in this weird spot: classic crypto looks like it's floundering because the real action shifted to enterprise rails. Speculation's out. Actual business is in. The return to fundamentals is even more boring than before. Led by conversations that start with compliance, privacy, security, and regulatory alignment. Like other enterprise L1s, XDC isn't trying to be Canton. It doesn't need to. In fact, XDC could work with Canton as a settlement layer for trade finance. For example. Canton hits the sweet spot for a ton of players who want something compliant, private-ish, but not fully walled off. If you're still betting everything on public L1s or L2s for the big flows... you might want to rethink that. If you're betting it's all private, that's also not the right camp, imo. Narratives are just that. Narratives. But too many want to make them an 'all or nothing' in their heads. The reality is - it's nuanced, and real businesses make decisions based on solving problems, not because it's a narrative on CT. RWAs, DePIN, memes, privacy, DeFi, looping... you get the point One thing we know from all emerging tech cycles is that there will be several winners and, sadly, lots of losers, but did we leave this space better than where we found it? I hope the answer is YES when we ask ourselves honestly. Anyway, this post was a much-needed brain dump. Ofc, the space is changing fast, and we're all working to keep up. Even when we're in the trenches daily. I know I'm missing stuff, and probably fumbled some of right words to get the message across, so please revert with any sanity checks needed 🤝

@SeanoftheWeb3 Agree this is good dialogue. There’s plenty of opportunities and use cases for all of us building what institutional issuers want.

Glad you made the effort, Travis. Really important to have these sorts of ecosystem discussions. Another thing, and it's not necessarily a negative, but as I understand it - it's a fairly esoteric coding language that underpins $CC. So it probably won't ever be that ubiquitous beast that #EVM will ever be. 'Vibe coding' Canton or not - an L1 with proven base layer #Subnets like $XDC will still have plenty of advantages for the global market to engage with #web3 utility.

@beampaywallet Well said - summed up my whole rant in 2 lines!

@TravisJohn public infra with privacy at domain level is a good mental model. not hiding everything, just controlling what gets shared where

RWAs launching on @XDCNetwork in Miami style 🌴

@iamartikyoul8 @XDCNetwork @BitGo indeed 🤝

@TravisJohn @XDCNetwork @BitGo Huge milestone👏👏

We’re now live with institutional custody support for @XDCNetwork on @BitGo. This integration brings regulated custody for XDC + USDC on XDC, unlocking multijurisdictional enterprise deployments on the network for payments, trade finance, tokenization, and capital flows.
