🔥🤑🤑 The IMF is now explaining tokenization and programmable money to the world

Money has come a long way since the first uses of shells or coins millennia ago. Today, it may be considered our most used technology, as most people use digitally recorded money. Our Analyze This video explains tokenization and why programmable money is useful.

Stellar is one of three models aimed at reducing global FX fragmentation through a private settlement asset and marketplace.

Ripple has been building this infrastructure on XRPL for years.

⚡️🤑🤑 Open USD from Open Standard, backed by Visa and Mastercard, is coming to the Stellar network and Ripple

Today, Open Standard announces Open USD, a new stablecoin for global money movement. 🎉

❗️Open USD introduces three key design principles:

→ Build for scale. Businesses can mint and redeem Open USD at no cost and with no artificial limits on volume.
→ Earn by default. Partners receive all of the earnings from Open USD’s reserves, less a small management fee to cover Open USD’s operational costs.
→ Govern collaboratively. Open USD will be operated by Open Standard, an independent company with a board made up of Open USD’s partners, ensuring decisions are made for the collective interest, not a single entity.

"Existing stablecoins have great strengths, but to use them at scale, businesses need something that’s open, low-cost, high-throughput, broadly accessible, and aligned to their interests. We’re thrilled to bring together over 140 businesses to launch Open USD. It’s a stablecoin built for the internet economy, designed by the businesses growing it," said Zach Abrams, Founding CEO of Open Standard.

Designed with businesses in mind, Open USD is built to scale: open, low-cost, high-throughput, and broadly accessible. Open USD will be live later this year. 🚀

🤖 Meta releases version two of its BCI that can turn thoughts into keypresses

Instead of relying on implants, Brain2Qwerty uses a non-invasive magnetoencephalography (MEG) scanner to read the faint changes in a brain’s magnetic fields due to brain activity and then correlate this to keypresses on a virtual keyboard. The company says that its average accuracy now hits 61%, with the best participant capable of hitting as much as 78% word accuracy.

"We believe this research has the potential to make a real difference for the millions of people who suffer from brain lesions or disorders that prevent them from communicating." Meta wrote on X.

Brain2Qwerty advances beyond character-level performance to decoding words and semantics, enabling accuracy for overall communication. It's an important development in neuroprosthetics, and it could eventually result in medical devices that patients could use to restore or improve their quality of life.
