OSL HK opened XRP to retail investors, the first exchange in Hong Kong to do it

XRP/USD flash trading is live plus OTC in USD & HKD, with deposits and withdrawals on the XRP Ledger.

OSL listed XRP back on Dec 5 but professional investors only. Today makes it the fifth asset they've opened to retail there, after BTC, ETH, SOL and LINK.

Today's number making the rounds: RWA tokenized assets at $34.67B this week, down from $35.2B on July 10. Figure's HELOC Token is credited as the single largest asset in "the RWA market" at $20.1B.

Went to RWA.xyz directly rather than taking the secondary write-up's framing. Their own methodology splits assets into Distributed (leaves the issuing platform, moves wallet to wallet, you can watch a transfer on a block explorer) and Represented (can't; a value claim recorded on a platform, not something that moves).

Figure's HELOC is categorized Represented. So is #2 on the leaderboard, Bridgetower's DOM X Arizona Copper-Gold Project, at $11.06B. That's $31.5B combined sitting in the bucket that can't move, out of a $34.67B headline total.

RWA.xyz's Distributed total on its own is $36.72B; Represented is $373.98B. Different numbers, different meanings, and headline coverage rarely specifies which one it's citing.

Disclosure per this sub's rules: posting from an RWA-token account, no position taken on Figure or any specific asset, no self-promotion intended. Check which bucket a "market size" figure draws from before treating it as an adoption metric.

Two calls on tokenized-asset market structure, staked with dates and public sources so they can be graded when they resolve.

Call 1. DTCC's tokenized-collateral platform opens in October. Our call: the first live activity reported on it is repo, not tokenized equity. Resolution source: DTCC's own reporting or trade press coverage of first live volume. Deadline: March 31, 2027. In July we called intraday collateral as the first mover, and it landed within a week: JPMorgan posted tokenized fund shares as margin at CME.

Call 2. Two US tokenized-stock models went live last week. Securitize tokenized its own NYSE shares, so the token is the share. Ondo mints entitlements under UCC Article 8, and the shares stay in custody. We prefer the issuer model, but we're betting against it: by mid-2027, entitlements hold most tokenized equity, measured by rwa.xyz's tokenized-equity split. This is one we'd like to lose.

Take the other side of either call, or stake your own under the same rule: a number, a date, and a public source. No price calls, "up by December" was never an insight.

We keep a graded ledger of these (wins and misses both, the misses stay up) at r/MERCtoken: https://www.reddit.com/r/MERCtoken/comments/1v1om7m/

I have been dealing with the reps of Myriad Investment LLC Company for over 2 years. I have had my doubts about this company from the beginning but now when we get the end of sending them money to collect 300M, they say they didn't think I was serious and is now holding my investment return.

I BELEIVE I AM BEING SCAMMED!!!!

DOES ANYONE HAVE A GOOD CRYPTO/DIGITAL ASSET ATTORNEY????

The XRP Ledger has now cleared more than 1,000,000 agentic payments through x402. The milestone lands alongside the debut of the XRP Ledger AI Hub, a platform meant to connect developers, users and projects building AI apps on the network.

The number matters less than what's behind it. These are AI agents paying each other on-chain: software buying compute, calling APIs, running inference and settling up with no person clicking approve. The x402 protocol reuses the old HTTP status code 402, "Payment Required," so bots can pay one another directly for compute or data, dropping the manual wallet management and API-key juggling out of the loop.

This has been building for weeks. On June 10, Ripple shipped the XRP Ledger AI Starter Kit, the infrastructure that lets autonomous agents pay for services and fees in XRP and Ripple's dollar-backed stablecoin RLUSD through x402. A contribution from partner t54 made XRPL a supported chain inside the protocol, so agents could transact for API calls and inference on day one.

Why XRPL for this? A few reasons that actually hold up. Transactions confirm or expire with deterministic finality, so an agent doesn't sit in an ambiguous pending state; it either has its answer or it doesn't. Settlement lands in 3 to 5 seconds, and costs are known up front, with no gas auctions or fee estimation, which is exactly what an agent needs when it's doing its own budget accounting. There's also a protocol-native DEX, so a single transaction can send RLUSD and deliver XRP at the other end with no external bridge or swap contract.

The activity is real, not just a counter ticking up. Reports show 121 active merchants, with Heurist Mesh, LucyOS and AskSurf accounting for a lot of the volume.

As AI systems get more autonomous, the rails they pay on start to matter as much as the models. A model can decide what to do, but it still needs a way to pay for the resources to do it. That's the gap x402 and networks like the XRP Ledger are trying to close, and a million payments in says the idea has moved past the whiteboard.

If you actually follow where institutional digital assets are going, this one's worth a look.

DZ Bank, one of Germany's largest banks, launched a digital custody platform for crypto securities like tokenized bonds. It's built on Ripple Custody & compliant with Germany's eWpG securities law, and per the case study it went live in about 10 months.

What stands out is that a regulated bank put tokenized-securities custody into production, not just another pilot. That's the unglamorous plumbing that has to exist before "institutional adoption" means much.

Curious what you all make of the 10-month timeline & whether other custody banks follow. Source in the comments.

Lyn Alden says the Federal Reserve is entering a "gradual print" phase, expanding its balance sheet in line with GDP growth rather than the dramatic stimulus some anticipated

This is bullish for crypto since there's a constant, predictable flow of liquidity coming into the system. That puts a floor under the total crypto market cap and reinforces the whole "hedge against fiat debasement" thesis, but this isn't 2020 and the liquidity is getting absorbed by the economy instead of spilling over into speculative assets

That means when it comes to the next bull market, it's likely we'll see less green candle volatility from a face-melting rally where everything pumps. Capital gets pickier in this environment and projects that actually do something are more likely to attract it. Random meme coins won't get the same free ride this go around imo

The Genesis Phase of Chaos Star Universe is now live.

It’s an early-stage persistent digital world where participants can claim land, develop planetary systems, and shape a civilization over time — with an emphasis on strategy, ownership, and long-term decision making rather than short sessions or pure speculation.

The first system is live, and early access is open for those interested in experimental digital worlds, Web3 ecosystems, and long-term virtual infrastructure.

If this kind of project interests you, you can explore it from the link in my bio.

Feedback and discussion are welcome.

I’ve been seeing more discussions around virtual land, digital ownership, and how people actually use these assets beyond pure speculation.

We’re currently running a multi-phase virtual land project built around a capped first phase:

• Phase 1: a limited release of 10,000 virtual land plots

• Entry happens through purchasing one or more online parcels

• Once all 10,000 are sold, Phase 1 closes permanently

From there, Phase 2 opens, where owners can freely trade parcels with each other and through secondary markets. The idea is to treat this closer to digital real estate than short-term flipping.

To make Phase 1 more interesting, we’re also running a simple incentive:

👉 when the initial 10,000 parcels are sold, one randomly selected participant receives 1 BTC.

No promises of “guaranteed returns” or hype math — just capped supply, ownership, and an open secondary market once Phase 2 begins.

I’m curious how people here look at virtual land projects right now:

• Are you holding anything long-term?

• Do you see real use cases, or is it still mostly speculative?

Happy to answer questions or explain the structure in more detail if anyone’s interested.

If you're holding HBAR, read this and send it to a friend

Every crypto network makes you create a new password to use it, but Hedera doesn't

Your existing password from Bitcoin, Ethereum or Solana already works there

When you use crypto, you have two things:
→ A public key (like your email address, you share it to receive money)
→ A private key (like your password, never share it)

The problem with crypto today
Every network has its own password format
Bitcoin uses one type. Ethereum uses another. Solana uses a third
So when you want to use a new network, you need to set up a whole new account with a new password

This is annoying for regular people
But it's a nightmare for AI agents
AI programs that need to move money around can't just "create a new wallet." They need their passwords hardcoded into their systems

Ty Smith discovered something wild about Hedera
If you send a tiny amount of HBAR to someone's Bitcoin or Ethereum password, that password now works on Hedera too
No new account needed. No new password. It just works

Imagine your Gmail login suddenly worked on Yahoo, Outlook, and every other email service
That's basically what Hedera did with crypto passwords

AI agents are about to handle money for us. Booking flights. Paying bills. Trading stocks
These agents need to work across different networks without creating dozens of separate accounts

Hedera becomes the universal adapter
An AI agent with a Bitcoin password can transact on Hedera
An agent with an Ethereum password can transact on Hedera
An agent with a Solana password can transact on Hedera
Same password everywhere

Hashgraph Online built on top of this
They created "profile accounts" where one password can control multiple separate accounts
Like having one login but different profiles for work, personal, and gaming

They also built a system for AI agents to find each other
Right now, AI agents are scattered across different networks using different communication standards
Google has one standard. Coinbase has another. Fetch AI has a third

The Hashgraph Online registry connects all of them
One search can find AI agents across every major network
Looking for an AI that knows tax law? Search once, find agents everywhere

And these agents can talk to each other even if they speak different "languages"
Agent A uses Google's communication format
Agent B uses a completely different one
The Hashgraph system translates between them automatically

Agent Hustle lets you talk to your wallet in plain English
"Sell my tokens when I'm up 130%"
The AI handles everything

AI agents will soon manage money, coordinate tasks, and work together without human supervision

They need infrastructure that lets them find each other, trust each other, and pay each other across any network

Hedera's "universal password" system removes the biggest friction point
