🚨JPMORGAN AMONG OTHERS TO USE XRP LEDGER FOR TOKENIZED TREASURYS JPMorgan, Ripple, Mastercard and Ondo completed a cross-border redemption of tokenized US Treasuries on the XRP Ledger. The tokenized asset moved on public blockchain rails, while the dollar payout still settled through bank infrastructure.

This is a meaningful step toward 24/7 global financial markets. By combining the XRP Ledger with global banking infrastructure, this pilot shows how institutions can execute cross-border transactions in a single integrated flow.

Today, Mastercard, @OndoFinance, Kinexys by @JPMorgan, and @Ripple successfully completed a landmark transaction connecting a public blockchain with interbank settlement rails. Together, we’re laying the groundwork for 24/7 global markets that never close.

Historic First: Artemis II Crew Becomes the First Humans to Witness the Orientale Basin in Its EntiretyBREAKING: In a stunning milestone for deep-space exploration, the Artemis II astronauts have captured the first-ever view of the Moon’s Orientale Basin with human eyes — seeing its complete, majestic structure for the first time in history.As the Orion spacecraft swept past the lunar limb during its historic flyby, the crew photographed the entire basin in one breathtaking frame, with Earth hanging beautifully in the black void beyond.A 930-Kilometer Cosmic BullseyeThe Orientale Basin is one of the Moon’s most impressive geological features — a massive multi-ringed impact structure roughly 930 km (580 miles) across. Formed about 3.8 billion years ago by a colossal asteroid or comet strike, its concentric rings ripple outward like frozen waves from a stone dropped into a cosmic pond.The outermost Cordillera ring forms the dramatic outer rim, while inner rings (the Rook mountains) mark zones of dramatic crustal rebound and collapse after the initial impact. Because Orientale straddles the Moon’s near and far sides near the southwestern limb, it has always appeared severely foreshortened and partially hidden from Earth-based telescopes and earlier missions. Only now, from Orion’s unique vantage during the flyby, has the full scale and symmetry been revealed directly to human observers.The Shot of a LifetimeThe image was taken through an Orion window as the crew passed over the site at just the right moment — with perfect illumination highlighting every ridge, ring, and shadow. It’s not just a photo. It’s a pivotal new dataset that complements decades of orbital data from Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, GRAIL’s gravity maps, and earlier probes.Entering the Zone of SilenceAs Orion continues its trajectory around the Moon, the crew is now heading into the most isolated phase of the mission: loss of signal. For roughly 40 minutes, the bulk of the Moon will completely block all radio communication with Earth, leaving Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen in profound solitude on the far side.They are venturing where only a handful of Apollo astronauts have gone before — deeper into cislunar space, pushing the boundaries of human exploration farther than any crew since 1970.The Moon is yielding its secrets once again… and humanity is watching live.This is what returning to the Moon — and preparing for Mars — truly looks like.

There are no words.

🔥RIPPLE CEO: “WE’RE TAKING OVER SWIFT” Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse once said in an interview: “What we’re doing… is taking over SWIFT.”

One day Chuck Norris told a woman to calm down, and she did.

Chuck Norris held a 183-10-2 record and was a 6x world champion in full contact bare knuckle karate. On top of that, he beat heavyweight kickboxing world champion Joe Lewis 3 consecutive times and also had a brutal sparring match with undefeated kickboxing world champion, Bill Superfoot Wallace, that lasted an hour and a half. According to Wallace, they practically stalemated and "beat the crap out of each other". Chuck was trained in kickboxing/boxing by Benny The Jet Urquidez and was also trained in BJJ by the Gracies and Machados for 20 years. Even being able to submit Carlos Machado himself on occasion. Chuck had a 315 Ibs bench press at 180 lbs bodyweight and was said to have a grip back in the day that nobody could escape from because he was so strong. Even Jean Claude Van Damme said he'd never fight Chuck Norris, despite being a kickboxing world champion himself. Chuck held a 10th degree black belt in Chun Kuk Do, a 9th degree black belt in Tang Soo Do, an 8th degree black belt in Taekwondo, a 5th degree black belt in Karate, a 3rd degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and a black belt in Judo. Rest in peace, Chuck!

🔥HUGE: The SEC just confirmed XRP is NOT a security. SEC Chair Paul Atkins confirmed, "most crypto assets are NOT securities." The SEC & CFTC named $XRP, along with $BTC, $ETH, $SOL, $ADA, and 11 other major tokens, as "digital commodities" exempt from securities law. "We're not the Securities and Everything Commission anymore," he added.
