@CryptoMondaysFL Sounds like a trivial night!

CryptoMondays on a Wednesday. 🌴🍻 We’re making tonight’s LauderAle trivia night an official impromptu CryptoMondays Fort Lauderdale meetup. No agenda, just community, conversation, and good vibes. Because any night of the week is a great night to connect. RSVP 👇

For financial advisors, wealth managers, and compliance officers, the question has changed. It is no longer whether clients can access crypto. They can, inside accounts they already have. The question is whether your team is prepared to advise them when they ask. #DigitalAssets #WealthManagement

Schwab's ~35 million clients can now trade Bitcoin and Ethereum alongside stocks, ETFs, and retirement accounts. Same app. Same login. 0.75% per trade. Paxos handles execution. Schwab Premier Bank holds custody. For clients, the friction is gone.

Today @CharlesSchwab launched spot crypto trading for retail clients. Last week @MorganStanley did the same via @etrade. Two of the largest brokerages in the country. 43 million accounts. One week apart. The access question has been answered.

For treasury, operations, and compliance teams: this is what 24/7 global settlement infrastructure looks like when it starts working in practice. The question for institutions is no longer whether this technology works. It is whether your team understands its implications. #Tokenization #DigitalAssets

How it worked: @OndoFinance processed the redemption on the XRP Ledger. @Mastercard's Multi-Token Network routed the instructions to @jpmorgan's Kinexys platform. JPMorgan delivered U.S. dollars to @Ripple's Singapore account. Under five seconds. Outside banking hours. Cross-border. Cross-bank.

Last week, a tokenized U.S. Treasury fund settled across two banks, two countries, and a public blockchain in under five seconds. The same transaction through traditional correspondent banking: up to three business days. @OndoFinance, @jpmorgan, @Mastercard, @Ripple - A genuine first.

@1inch @consensus2026 @CryptoMondaysFL It was a pleasure sharing the stage together! Insightful shares from all sides and presenters!

Payments, settlement, financial rails. Where does DeFi fit? 1inch is on that panel today at the official @consensus2026 opening event in Miami Beach - hosted by @USCryptoAcademy and @CryptoMondaysFL, and CryptoMondays Wall Street. ⏰3:45 PM

When a 170-year-old payments institution moves its settlement infrastructure on-chain, treasury, compliance, and operations teams need to understand what that shift actually means. This is what stablecoin adoption looks like at institutional scale. #Stablecoins #DigitalAssets

The mechanics matter for institutions. USDPT is issued by @Anchorage Digital Bank, a federally regulated custodian. It replaces SWIFT rails for settling transactions across Western Union's global agent network, including on weekends and banking holidays when traditional correspondent banking goes offline.

💸@WesternUnion has been moving money since 1851. Next month, it's doing it on Solana. $USDPT, Western Union's dollar stablecoin, launches in May. Instant settlement, 24/7, 200+ countries - No SWIFT required.

This is what organized advocacy looks like. When thousands of Americans speak clearly and directly, policymakers should pay attention. Market structure matters, and the push for movement on the CLARITY Act reflects how important workable rules have become for builders, investors, and institutions alike.

Today, we hand-delivered a message to Washington. Over 28,000 Americans signed our petition this week, asking the Senate one thing: mark up the CLARITY Act. We're watching. We're organized. And we're voting. 🇺🇸

@blockchainwk Beyond adoption, becoming part of the core fin system.

Wall Street called Bitcoin reckless. Now they want a fee on it. Morgan Stanley just launched its Bitcoin Trust: • 0.14% fee • Top 1% ETF launch (year) Bitcoin isn’t being ignored anymore. It’s being monetized. Full Video on YouTube: youtu.be/dkpoB0ixIk4 #Bitcoin #Crypto #Fintech #Blockchain #Web3

Finance, legal, audit, and compliance teams have a narrowing window to build fluency in tokenized asset frameworks. When the infrastructure is in place and clients are asking questions, the time to prepare is already behind you. #Tokenization #DigitalAssets

BlackRock's BUIDL fund: $2 billion in AUM. JPMorgan's tokenized yield fund: launched January 2026. OCC national trust bank charters: issued to @coinbase, Fidelity @DigitalAssets, @circle, and others. The custody and regulatory infrastructure for institutional tokenization is being built in real time.

The @IMFNews just called real-world asset tokenization a "structural reconfiguration" of global finance. $441 billion in tokenized assets are now on-chain. @BlackRock. @jpmorgan. @GoldmanSachs. @Fidelity. This is no longer a pilot program.

Legal, compliance, and treasury teams at financial institutions need a working understanding of this framework now. Waiting until the rules are final is not a preparation strategy. #Stablecoins #DigitalAssets

The GENIUS Act was enacted in July 2025. It prohibits any entity other than a permitted payment stablecoin issuer from issuing a dollar-backed stablecoin in the U.S. Implementing rules are due by July 18, 2026. Regulations take effect January 18, 2027. That window is now six months.

Three federal agencies issued GENIUS Act rulemaking proposals in the first two weeks of April. @FDICgov. @USTreasury. @FinCENnews. The compliance clock on U.S. stablecoin regulation is no longer theoretical.
