Stellar

So this is going to be a big moment for the channel.

Now Stellar officially files to the SEC asking to put XLM's digital commodity status into federal rules, Johnny Krypto.

This is big news here.

The SEC already named XLM XRP, Chainlink, and HBAR, as well as nearly 14 other digital assets as digital commodities back in March.

Well, now Stellar is asking the SEC to put the definition of a digital commodity into the actual regulations and explicitly confirm that digital commodities are not securities themselves.

Now, if you remember earlier in the episode, I showed you Ripple wrote a letter saying almost the exact same thing earlier this month, Johnny Krypto, where they're like, we want the digital commodity status for XRP written into the regulation.

Now we have Stellar doing the exact same thing.

I think it's a safe assumption here.

My belief is after the Clarity Act happens, we're going to see a big consolidation from some of these projects that don't have robust ecosystems.

A lot of the same people who were involved in the inception of Bitcoin, they're involved in the inception of Ripple and Stellar, but there was a divergence in the way that they viewed this market kind of growing and evolving.

The same developers who built the Bitcoin code, which would be David Schwartz and three others that we don't know.

those same developers looked at the flaws in the network and then made an effort to create something better.

You also have a finite supply.

So I think they took a lot of the ideas that worked for Bitcoin and they tried to improve those.

And that's when they launched Stellar and the XRP Ledger.

And what's really interesting about this, as I'm sure you guys have seen, is that over the weekend, a lot of emails came out.

As the DTCC just officially announced that they're going to be going live with their tokenization project on October 28th, 2026, only eight days from the time of this recording.

And why is that so exciting for digital asset investors? Well, they've already publicly announced that they're going to be launching these tokenized assets on Canton and Stellar and eventually expanding to other blockchain networks.

Well, Ripple Prime, obviously an advocate for the XRP ledger, is also working directly with the DTCC's working group to integrate this brand new technology.

And this is the news that we're reporting on today.

2.

Securrency The DTCC acquired Securrency and renamed it DTCC Digital Assets, its blockchain division.

Securrency's protocol was built to be utilized on several ledgers, including Ethereum, Stellar, and Ripple.

So the DTCC now owns a protocol designed to run on the XRP ledger.

I believe that all of them would prefer XRP to sit as a neutral bridge asset, as a highly appreciated collateral on their balance sheet that operates as a tier one asset under the BIS.

The BIS literally just came out with a framework and a paper talking about the XRP ledger, XRP and Stellar and XLM.

So if they didn't want that, why in the world would they be publishing papers talking about them experimenting with it to use it? And they absolutely want CBDCs.

You're telling me that central banks don't want CBDCs? They for sure do.

So what would be the best way to facilitate that? Issuing them on the XRP ledger and on Stellar.

Hands down.

Um, and so it, you know, and I wouldn't drag all of your statements together.
