Trump Just Flipped the Global Investment Switch.
U.S. tariffs = market shock. S&P drops. Capital runs.
Where to? Europe.
European defense spending is BOOMING — Rheinmetall up 235%. Smaller firms thriving. Why? Trump’s pressure on NATO + fear of China = $$$ for missiles, not memes.
Asset managers like Schroders & DWS suddenly winning. Active funds outperforming passive for the first time in YEARS. This is your financial reset… not just gold & XRP — capital flows are shifting.
U.S. deficit? $1.9T and rising, dollar? Wobbling. Euro?
Watch for strength. Currency reevaluation is in motion.
Passive U.S. tech-heavy index? Losing edge. Trump’s tariffs could be the domino that triggers a new liquidity map. Smart money is already moving.
Vietnam & Iraq now sit on new trade routes. Europe rearms. U.S. tightens. China counters. The chessboard resets, and this isn’t just about stock tickers — it’s about who writes the rules.
This isn’t “globalism ending” — this is capital realignment.

OMB Director Russ Vought says the One Big Beautiful Bill will provide the largest mandatory savings reform since the 1997 balanced budget agreement: “To have this town now talking about $1.6 trillion — over double of what was done in 1997 adjusted for inflation at $1.6 trillion is truly historic.”

One of the major wallets we have been tracking will be the connection to this DEX.

The DEX has been private, but it has been active for a LONG time concealing moves behind the scenes.

🏦Citi recently put out a report focused around a Digital Dollar

Interestingly we see 2 key $XLM members in the contributors section

Denelle Dixon- Stellar CEO
Raja Cahkravorti- Stellar CBO

Additionally we see Mastercard here, which we know has integrated with Stellar to bring their Crypto Credential Services & plans to further deploy Mastercard services onto Stellar Network.

This report also has a specific section highlighting Stellar's work with UNHCR for payment aid in Ukraine.

In other words these financial leaders clearly recognize the unique position and backing Stellar has for their global financial inclusion solutions🪐

#ISO20022: We are concerned about the considerable amount of work that banks still have to do: at the end of April, only 38.5% of SWIFT traffic had been converted to ISO. Now there are only 6 months left for the conversion. Comparison: 6 months ago the figure was 27.6%.
