New @AlliumLabs x @StellarOrg report just dropped. onchain proof that institutional finance is already being built on Stellar, and the data hits different. @FTDA_US , @PayPal , @WisdomTreePrime , @Spiko_finance , @OndoFinance , and many others are building on Stellar. $1.4B in tokenized RWAs. $2.3B in monthly stablecoin volume, doubled YoY. 52M+ smart contract calls in February 2026 alone. All settling in a couple of seconds for fractions of a cent. SWIFT charges $15-50 per transaction and takes 2-5 days. Let that sink in. One chain. DeFi, institutional settlement, tokenized RWAs, compliance infrastructure and more. And we're still early. Full report here: allium.so/reports/stella…

LATEST: @Mastercard breaks down how its crypto cards will allow small businesses to accept crypto. Mastercard crypto cards will let users pay with crypto while the transaction is processed in fiat on the Mastercard network behind the scenes.

X MONEY: ATM CASH WITHDRAWAL🏧 Withdrawing cash with @XMoney was ridiculously easy. Opened the app, searched for nearby ATMs, and boom, found a @Wawa right across the street. I spotted @Tesla owners charging in the lot, when I pulled up. At the ATM, I tapped my new X Card, grabbed my cash, and was back on the road in seconds.

🚨 Really interesting detail in @VersaBank's latest SEC filing! 👀🔥 The bank says it has now successfully completed its pilot program for tokenized bank deposits on Algorand, Ethereum and Stellar! ✅ VersaBank says it is the FIRST bank to complete such a pilot, and the fact that $ALGO is already compatible with real banking infrastructure is HUGE! IMO, this passage is also particularly interesting: "VersaBank believes its RBTDs represent the next step in the evolution of digital assets and a superior alternative to stablecoins." "In addition, the Bank expects its RBTDs to be eligible for conventional federal deposit insurance (subject to confirmation by regulators) and have the legal ability to pay interest, which non-bank issued stablecoins are not allowed to provide." So yeah, these RBTDs (Real Bank Tokenized Deposits) represent federally regulated bank deposits on $ALGO, $ETH and $XLM, and could potentially be insured and pay interest, unlike most stablecoins! 🤯 Another sign that blockchain rails like Algorand are definitely moving closer to traditional banking! 🔥 Let's see what's cooking! 🫡
