🤑🤑 What Links State Street to Stellar, Ripple and Hedera

State Street is one of the world’s largest custodial banks. It manages trillions in assets. And it is quietly building a tokenization infrastructure that runs across three distinct blockchain networks. Notably, Stellar, Ripple and Hedera are in the picture.

❗️Crypto researcher SMQKE published documentation connecting State Street to the XRP Ledger, Stellar’s XLM network, and Hedera’s HBAR network.

📝 The documentation comes from two sources. The first is a table detailing tokenized money market fund issuers and their blockchain selections. The second is a BCG analysis slide from October 2021 identifying State Street as a notable partner of Securrency.

Securrency is a tokenization platform headquartered in Washington, D.C. It raised $49.4 million in funding and operates across Ethereum, Stellar, Ripple, Gochain, and EOS. State Street is listed as one of its notable partners in the BCG analysis.

That partnership is significant. Securrency’s blockchain stack includes both the XRP Ledger and the Stellar network. Notably, Securrency has previously been highlighted as a potential path for XRP into the DTCC. State Street’s relationship with the platform connects the bank directly to both assets’ underlying infrastructure. 🤝

🤑 Ripple and Robinhood Partner to Power the Next Generation of Finance

Ripple and Robinhood, a global leader in financial services, today announced a strategic partnership that provides one of the industry’s largest consumer and institutional trading platforms with a single, trusted entry point to Ripple’s infrastructure across stablecoins, institutional markets and treasury management.

❗️Ripple USD (RLUSD) will be a key stablecoin across Robinhood’s digital asset ecosystem, expanding access to the enterprise-grade stablecoin for both retail and institutional use.

👉 RLUSD is live today on Robinhood Chain and Bitstamp by Robinhood, and is expected to be available later this year in the Robinhood app.

👉 Robinhood will leverage RLUSD on the XRPL for institutional settlement, extending the stablecoin’s utility across Bitstamp by Robinhood’s growing institutional business.

👉 The relationship also spans Robinhood’s own financial operations: the company will integrate Ripple Treasury to modernize and automate its global treasury operations, including cash and liquidity management, cash flow forecasting, payments, risk management and intercompany netting.

👉 The partnership also extends across institutional markets through Ripple Prime, building on an existing relationship between the companies across financing, liquidity and market access.

“From bringing RLUSD to retail and institutional markets to helping Robinhood manage its own treasury operations, this partnership reflects growing institutional demand for integrated solutions that support customer-facing offerings and core financial operations,” — said Monica Long, president of Ripple.

⚡️🇺🇸🇻🇪 President Trump says Venezuela could become the 51st US state

Maybe someday soon it will become a prosperous 51st state.

Let's make it the 51st state, and instead of a president, we'll have an election for governor.

🤖 OpenAI announces its AI models have made new major scientific discoveries

OpenAI has announced three AI-generated discoveries in mathematics, computer science and physics, with independent experts set to review the findings.

🔘In mathematics, AI has reportedly proved the local smoothing conjecture, resolving two longstanding problems known as the Kakeya and Stein restriction conjectures.

🔘In computer science, a new proof challenges the Exponential Time Hypothesis. Both results have been released publicly alongside formal verifications in Lean.

🔘The physics breakthrough concerns existence proofs for four-dimensional quantum field theories, including QCD and Yang–Mills. Nobel laureate David Gross will help oversee the review.

🤑 The first blockchain-native Nasdaq-100 fund is built on Stellar

🔥 Centrifuge CEO Bhaji Illuminati on why this matters:

We are very excited to announce that we launched the NASDAQ 100 with Stellar. So this is the first time that there's an on-chain DeFi strategy for the NASDAQ 100.

What that means is that anyone within the Stellar ecosystem can access one of the best and most well known tech indices.

We are unique in that we're building this strategy fully natively on-chain. So we're not just wrapping an ETF or buying the ETF, we're actually creating a new fund structure.

🤑 Ripple Expands Strategic Digital Assets Collaboration with BNY Across Custody and Tokenized Trade Finance

Ripple and BNY,
a global financial services company, announced an expansion of their strategic collaboration to broaden institutional digital asset custody capabilities and explore new institutional use cases for blockchain technology, including tokenized trade finance.

🤝 The collaboration brings together Ripple’s digital asset solutions and the XRP Ledger (XRPL), a public blockchain, with BNY’s scale, servicing model and digital capabilities.

➡️ Building on BNY’s role as primary reserve custodian for Ripple’s stablecoin, RLUSD, and its custody relationship with Ripple Prime, BNY now supports XRP, the native digital asset of the XRP Ledger, and RLUSD on its Digital Asset Custody platform.

➡️ BNY’s platform is designed to provide institutional clients with secure digital asset custody within the governance, controls and resiliency of its broader servicing model, giving eligible clients a seamless way to safekeep, hold and transfer digital assets.

“We’re moving past the initial issuance of assets onchain – now, it’s all about making these tokenized assets usable for payments and collateral across financial markets,” — said Monica Long, President of Ripple.

“With BNY, we’re connecting the necessary components of financial infrastructure on the XRP Ledger so institutions can move from holding digital assets to using them within capital markets and trade finance seamlessly.” 🚀

🛰 Sunlight at night: US startup’s demonstration of lighting Earth from space draws criticism

Locals in a rural area of California were recently startled to see dazzlingly bright light shining down from nearby mountains at night, illuminating a swathe of the desert below. The night-time light demonstration was conducted by a US startup called Reflect Orbital, which has an almost sci-fi aim to launch 50,000 satellites into space in the next decade to illuminate parts of the world at night.

In July, the FCC approved Reflect Orbital’s proposal to launch an initial demonstration satellite next year, which will orbit the Earth and, via a 59ft-diameter mirror, reflect sunlight in 3-mile-wide beams in strengths from moonlight up to the brightness of the sun at noon.

This provided, the company said, a realistic simulation of one of the benefits of this technology: to help search-and-rescue teams and other emergency responders at night. Other planned uses include bathing crops in sunlight, replacing broken streetlights and even providing solar power for military operations, all summoned by the tap of a button on an app.

🤑 C2FO and Ripple Partner to Modernize Trade Finance Using the XRP Ledger

C2FO, the world’s largest platform for working capital, and Ripple announced an initiative to bring the financing and settlement activity supporting the new C2FO Instant Pay solution™onto the XRP Ledger (XRPL).

⏳ Across global supply chains, businesses can wait 30, 60 or even 90 days after delivering goods and services to be paid, tying up cash they could otherwise use for payroll, inventory and new orders.

Today, C2FO Early Pay™ programs, including C2FO Dynamic Discounting™ and C2FO Dynamic Supply Chain Finance™, have already helped businesses access more than 520 billion in working capital through the accelerated payment of approved invoices. But even when an invoice is paid early, they can still wait several days for funds to move through legacy bank settlement infrastructure.

⚡️C2FO Instant Pay™ addresses that challenge by enabling businesses to receive payments instantly, using XRPL and RLUSD for settlement.

✅ Businesses will continue to access early payment through C2FO as they do today. Instant payment is funded by participating capital providers and settled on the XRP Ledger, letting suppliers receive funds in seconds rather than days, against invoices whose terms and due dates stay exactly as agreed.

Purpose-built for institutional use, RLUSD has grown to more than $2.5 billion in market capitalization, with more than $1 billion issued on XRPL. XRPL settles transactions in 3–5 seconds at a fraction of a cent, operating 24/7.

“We’ve spent years building a platform that gives businesses more information and control over their working capital. The next opportunity is to make the financial infrastructure behind our marketplace as efficient and connected as the experience we’ve created for customers,” — said Ragui Selwanes, President & COO Americas at C2FO.

🌌 Supercomputer Taps 15,000 GPUs To Rebuild The Early Universe

Scientists have unveiled a supercomputer simulation named Lumina, which is the most detailed window yet into the first two billion years of our universe.

When trying to model the birth of the universe, computational cosmologists are usually forced to choose between simulating vast volumes of space at a coarse resolution or zooming into tiny patches with intricate detail.

Lumina changes all that
: spanning a cubical region measuring roughly 1.6 billion light-years across, the simulation tracks ordinary matter, dark matter, and radiation across all that space while retaining enough spatial resolution to model individual galaxies, stellar nurseries, and their surrounding gas flows.

Bringing this map life was an international research team that utilized the Frontier supercomputer located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. Harnessing more than 15,000 GPUs and 100,000 CPU cores, the simulation begins roughly 45 million years after the Big Bang, in the dark ages. Here, gravity slowly pulls tiny fluctuations in matter together, forming thick over-densities for the first generation of galaxies and stellar clusters.
