@thebu11runner Over 2/3 supply in circulation. Timing is perfect. We gonna burn through this last 1/3 🔥

Stellar’s own payment volume hit a record $ 5.5B in just Q1 2026, with RWAs crossing over $ 2B. $XLM is required for every transaction, account balances, and as a bridge asset for swaps. With fixed supply (~50 billion total #XLM) and rising real usage from billions in flows + tokenized assets, organic demand grows. More institutions = steady buying pressure and liquidity needs, which historically supports higher prices as utility compounds especially if adoption keeps scaling from LATAM into Europe/APAC. It’s gradual, driven by actual economic activity rather than memecoins.

@CryptoTice_ News is from Jan. Ticker showed BTC at $91,000

BREAKING: SEC Chair Paul Atkins just said something historic. "All U.S. markets will be on chain within two years." Not some markets Not select assets. All of them. Every stock. Every bond. Every derivative. On the blockchain. Within two years. The man who regulates the entire U.S. financial system. Just told the world that Wall Street is moving on-chain. This is not a prediction from a crypto influencer. This is the SEC Chair. The same institution that spent 4 years trying to kill crypto. Now putting a two year timeline on tokenizing everything. $50,000,000,000,000 in U.S. financial markets. Moving to the blockchain. And crypto hasn't priced this in yet.

"A photograph of a key, or the key itself. One proves the key exists. The other opens doors." This is the framing the tokenization conversation has needed. @DenelleDixon @StellarOrg

In my opinion, yesterday a turning point in the war took place. Perhaps we still do not fully grasp the significance of what happened. For the first time, Putin publicly showed his weakness and inability to independently protect his capital, his parade, and himself from our strikes. Because of this, a frightened Putin was forced to publicly humiliate himself and ask Trump, as a mediator, to help stop a strike on Moscow. De facto, Putin asked Trump to protect him from the Ukrainians. I consider President Zelenskyy’s order a brilliant informational slap in the face and an additional public humiliation. It is obvious that before and during the parade, Putin was physically afraid - he felt vulnerable and threatened. Putin publicly appeared weak and humiliated, and in Russia’s "prison-style" political culture, such things are not forgiven. A weak "tsar," mocked by everyone, cannot remain a tsar in Russia. These are very, very hard times for Ukraine. However, Ukraine is strong, resilient, and continues the fight. Slava Ukraini!

love this new feature on X: stellar:native

Tokenized stocks were step one. The next step is putting them to work as collateral for perpetual futures.

Let’s make America the crypto capital of the world.

Most people talking about $ONDO have never looked at what the products actually are. Not the token. Not the governance. The actual financial products sitting underneath the protocol that generate the revenue everyone keeps referencing. There are two of them. Here is exactly what you would own if you held either one. OUSG → The institutional product OUSG is a tokenised limited partnership interest in a private fund that invests primarily in BlackRock's USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund, one of the most conservative and liquid institutional investment vehicles on earth, backed by short-term US Treasuries. When you buy OUSG, you are not buying a crypto token that promises yield. You are becoming a limited partner in a Delaware-structured private fund managed by Ondo Capital Management LLC, with your investment allocated to assets backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. The custody chain matters - Your USDC is exchanged for USD primarily through Coinbase or Circle. - That USD goes into BlackRock's BUIDL fund, alongside allocations to Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, and WisdomTree. - All of it sitting in short-term US Treasuries. The legal wrapper - A Section 3(c)(7) private fund structure under the Investment Company Act of 1940. - The offering relies on Rule 506(c) of Regulation D. - Every investor undergoes KYC, AML, and sanctions compliance screening administered by the General Partner. OUSG is only available to Qualified Purchasers and verified Accredited Investors. This is not a product trying to appear institutional. It is a product that is legally and structurally institutional in every dimension. USDY → The accessible product. USDY is structured differently, and deliberately so. Ondo USDY LLC is a special purpose vehicle with one defined purpose: - borrow funds from lenders - issue USDY tokens as evidence of the LLC's debt obligation to those lenders - allocate the proceeds into US Treasuries and US bank demand deposits with a perfected security interest in those assets When you hold USDY you are a secured creditor of a regulated special purpose vehicle backed by US Treasuries. Not an equity holder. Not a token speculator. A secured lender with a legal claim on the underlying assets. USDY is offered under Regulation S, which means it is available to non-US persons outside the United States. Ondo USDY LLC is registered as a money services business with FinCEN, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the US Treasury Department. Every USDY holder goes through AML and Bank Secrecy Act compliance screening. The thing most people miss when they compare these two products: OUSG and USDY are not the same structure dressed in different names. They are two completely distinct legal vehicles designed for two completely distinct investor profiles, both built on the same underlying conviction that tokenised US Treasuries are the most important financial primitive that can exist onchain. OUSG gives institutional capital a compliant onchain entry point into one of the safest asset classes on earth. USDY gives non-US retail and institutional investors a secured, yield-bearing debt instrument backed by those same assets. Both products have smart contracts audited by leading firms in the industry, with results published publicly. Both entities undergo regular financial and information security audits. Both are backed by the most reputable institutional partners across every function in the chain. This is not a protocol promising to tokenise real-world assets someday. This is a protocol that already did it, twice, through legal structures that institutional compliance teams can actually sign off on. The $ONDO token debate about governance and fee switches is a real debate worth having. But the products underneath that debate are already among the most legally rigorous and institutionally credible financial instruments in the entire crypto ecosystem. Most people do not know that yet. Now you do.
