🔥Principio de acuerdo en el Clarity Act entre la industria cripto y el lobby bancario. Según se ha filtrado hoy, podemos estar ante un avance importante en las negociaciones de la normativa más crítica que está intentándose aprobar en EEUU actualmente: el Clarity Act. Aunque esta materia no formaba parte estrictamente de dicha norma, como ya contamos hace tiempo, el lobby de la banca introdujo en las discusiones la modificación absoluta del régimen del yield, en stablecoins, que ya había sido regulado en el Genius Act. Tras meses de negociación, parece que hay un régimen definitivo que cierra totalmente la puerta al yield pasivo, o dicho de otra forma, el recibir intereses en stablecoins por el simple hecho de tenerlas depositadas en una plataforma concreta. La forma más común, por otro lado, de obtener rendimientos en los últimos años con un riesgo relativamente bajo. ¿Mala noticia? Para el sector si, para Europa (por ser optimistas) no tanto porque ahora tendremos un régimen muy similar y evitaremos el free riding. Para mí, otra victoria de un sector que en EEUU pesa mucho, que ya manifestó abiertamente su preocupación por la posible fuga masiva de depósitos y que ha preferido presionar al regulador, en vez de intentar adaptarse a los nuevos productos financieros. Mientras, Circle hoy caía por fuerza en bolsa al haberse cerrado la puerta a su producto estrella

Vitalik Buterin explains why proof-of-stake is more secure than proof-of-work “I think proof of stake is very secure because to attack the system, you need to have basically as much stake as the rest of the network. Right now, for example, we have 5 million ETH staking, which means you have to come up with 5 million ETH and then join the network.” At the time of this writing, more than 37 million ETH are being staked, with 3 million ETH waiting to join via the validator queue. At today’s prices, that’s more than $80 billion of ETH someone would have to acquire to attack the network and revert finalized blocks, which is more than the cost of attacking even the Bitcoin network by some estimates. The other defense mechanism that proof-of-stake has that proof-of-work doesn’t is slashing, which makes Ethereum antifragile. Vitalik explains: “Recovering from attacks is much easier in proof-of-stake than proof-of-work. For many kinds of attacks you do against [the Ethereum] network, we have this concept of automatic slashing. In order to revert a finalized block, you basically have to have a big portion of your validators sign two conflicting messages. This is something where once these messages are on the network, you can go and prove ‘these people did it.’ So we have this feature in the protocol where you basically take all these people who provably misbehaved and you burn their coins.” Vitalik also acknowledges the possibility of censoring attacks, where if 1/3rd of validators refuse to attest, the chain can’t finalize. But, as he explains, Ethereum has a contingency plan for this as well: “Everyone who got censored would create a minority chain, and the community would have to do a soft fork. The would have to say, ‘this chain is clearly attacking us and this one is not attacking us, so we’re going to join this chain.’ Then what happens is, on that new chain, the attackers also lose a lot of coins. The difference between proof-of-stake and proof-of-work is that in a proof-of-stake system, you can identify specific participants — and this isn’t a human going in and saying ‘I don’t like you’. It’s all automated.” One last benefit of proof-of-stake is that security scales with the value of the network. As Vitalik put it five years ago, it is really relative security, and not absolute security, that matters: “The security needs of a thing have to be proportional to the size of that thing, because as a thing gets bigger, its enemies become bigger and more well-motivated. If BTC were 100x as big as it is today, the value from destroying it would be 100x higher, and the kinds of actors that would want to care about destroying it would be much bigger and scarier. This is also why countries of all sizes have roughly similarly sized militaries as a percentage of GDP. Hence, cost of attack divided by market cap really is the correct statistic to measure, and in the long run issuance-free PoW really does look not that good." Source: @lexfridman (Jun 2021)

A decade in the making, we have published an ISO standard for blockchain interoperability. This is a milestone I've been working towards since 2015, Remitt was founded with the conviction that blockchains could transform financial services but only if the industry solved interoperability and harmonised around global standards. Without that, blockchain would remain fragmented, siloed, and locked out of mainstream institutional adoption. In April 2016, we published what was the world's first proposal for a blockchain standard (remitt.com/blog/2016/04/2…) a bold move at a time when the industry was still largely focused on proofs of concept and competing protocol narratives, not standardisation. The idea was simple but ambitious: if blockchains were going to serve global markets, they needed a common framework that transcended any single protocol or vendor. Central to this thinking from the very beginning was the concept of a multi-gateway architecture, leveraging the know-how of 20 years of experience in cybersecurity to frame the principle that interoperability shouldn't depend on a single bridge or point-to-point connection, but on a layered gateway model that could abstract away the differences between underlying DLTs and connect them through a common interface. This was the architectural foundation of what would become Overledger, and it was also the design philosophy we brought to the standards process. The belief was that a viable international standard for blockchain interoperability had to be protocol-agnostic and gateway-driven, enabling any DLT to communicate with any other DLT (any-to-any) and with existing networks, without requiring those ledgers to change how they operate. The standard and the technology were born from the same insight. That same year, I worked closely with the team from @standardsaus (Standards Australia), who had the foresight in 2015 to champion the initiative at the international level. Together, we pushed for ISO to establish a dedicated Technical Committee for blockchain and not to be absorbed into an existing committee, but to stand on its own as a recognition that this technology warranted its own global standards programme. The industry demand was there, the use cases were multiplying, and the fragmentation was becoming a real barrier. In September 2016, the New Work Item Proposal (NWIP) received global approval, and ISO formally gave the green light to establish a new Technical Committee (remitt.com/blog/2016/09/1…). TC 307 — Blockchain and Electronic Distributed Ledger Technologies — was born (remitt.com/wp-content/upl…). The inaugural meeting was held in Sydney in April 2017, and from that moment the real work began. As the standards work progressed internationally, the mission at Remitt was evolving too. What started as an effort to use blockchains for financial services and solve interoperability grew into something far larger, a full enterprise infrastructure platform for connecting any blockchain to any network. Remitt became Quant, and we built Overledger, the world's first blockchain operating system to deliver on that original vision. The multi-gateway architecture that informed the standards thinking became the core of Overledger's design: a technology layer that sits above all blockchains, providing institutions with a single integration point to access any DLT, any network, and any existing system. The interoperability challenge that drove the standards work was the same challenge we set out to solve commercially and the two efforts reinforced each other throughout. For close to a decade since TC 307's formation, subject matter experts across the world have contributed their time and expertise to Working Group 7 — Interoperability is the committee I chair. International standards are not built quickly they are built through consensus, technical debate, and relentless refinement. The same methodology and rigour that created the Internet, through publishing standards. The result is a published international standard for blockchain interoperability. 🔗 iso.org/standard/82098… A huge thank you to @isostandards as the international standards developing organisation, to the team at @standardsaus who started the initiative in 2015 and worked tirelessly to get TC 307 approved and established globally, and to every subject matter expert who contributed to Working Group 7 over the years. This would not exist without that collective effort. From a blog post proposing the world's first blockchain standard in 2016, to a published ISO standard in 2026 and from Remitt to Quant, from an architectural concept of multi-gateway interoperability to Overledger and a global standard, this has been a decade-long journey of building both the standards and the technology to make blockchain interoperability a reality for institutions worldwide. There is still much more work ahead. More standards to develop, more to evolve, and more to build. But today, we mark a significant milestone. #Blockchain #ISO #Interoperability #Standards #TC307 #DLT #Quant #Overledger

To the stars! @SpaceX & @xAI are now one company

This is not a good look for Bitcoin Core.👀

This is the direction @quantnetwork has been positioning for. As central banks begin to accept DLT-issued assets inside core liquidity frameworks, interoperability moves from theory to requirement. $QNT Collateral, settlement, and regulated money are converging on shared rails. That convergence demands orchestration across systems, not isolated ledgers. This is the layer @FusionLayer25 operates in: Connecting existing financial infrastructure with DLT networks in a way institutions can deploy at scale. When DLT assets unlock central bank liquidity, infrastructure choices start to matter. That’s where Quant’s relevance becomes structural. #BuildtheFuture
