I’m so excited, nervous and grateful. I’m in love already. I can’t believe December is almost here. I had this idea we’d be free and clear in our 40s because of how young we were when we had our first few kids. But honestly, I wouldn’t rather be doing anything else, and I wouldn’t want to go on this journey with anyone else. I can’t wait to meet my son.

a little bit of coffee and some random piano to kick off this saturday morning

⚖️ @OMFIF, the global policy forum for banks, regulators and financial institutions, just published “The Age of Agentic Payments” by Hedera CPO @NilminiRubin. The piece appears in the October Digital Monetary Institute Journal, alongside perspectives from @Barclays, @Coinbase, @Oracle, the @IMFNews and others across financial infrastructure and policy. Rubin says autonomous finance will require cryptographic identity, verifiable audit trails, predictable fees, deterministic finality and accountability built directly into the infrastructure. One of the clearest examples is Verifiable Compute. The system generates cryptographic certificates for AI operations using trusted execution environments on NVIDIA GPUs and Intel processors, with attestations anchored through Hedera Consensus Service. @Hedera, @Accenture and @EQTYLab have developed a public-sector architecture combining: • EQTY Lab Verifiable Compute • Accenture’s multi-agent gateway • @nvidia DGX Cloud • Hedera Consensus Service The architecture is designed to create tamper-resistant records of agent actions across government, public safety and critical infrastructure. It points to an emerging stack for machine identity, autonomous payments, verifiable computation and real-time oversight of AI agents, with Hedera serving as part of the underlying trust layer. As machines begin transacting autonomously at scale, the infrastructure supporting them will need to evolve with them. hedera-hashgraph:native

No video tonight. Took my grandma out to dinner instead. My biggest role model in life, the strongest person I know, is this 98 year old little Italian lady.

JUST IN: 🇱🇺 Luxembourg has confirmed that investment funds can issue shares natively on DLT, with the units existing solely as tokens. Luxembourg is Europe’s largest investment fund jurisdiction and the second-largest globally.

👀

XDC Network Research and Engineering just published XIM, a new interledger protocol designed to connect public blockchains, institutional networks and traditional financial rails. The architecture draws on concepts from Quant Overledger, Chainlink CCIP and Canton Network, supports ISO 20022, and targets stablecoins, tokenized assets and cross-ledger settlement. xdce-crowd-sale:native ethereum:0x514910771af9ca656af840dff83e8264ecf986ca canton-network:native

🌐 ADOPTION: Fiserv, one of the biggest banking and payments infrastructure companies in the world, just went live with digital asset infrastructure. The first deployment connects 90+ banks and credit unions to a dollar-backed stablecoin, with transactions processed on Solana.

⚡️ BREAKING: Fiserv has taken its Digital Asset Platform live with financial institutions. The Fortune 500 payments giant’s first deployment powers a stablecoin across 90+ banks and credit unions, with transactions processed on Solana, and infrastructure from Fireblocks.

I didn't think I'd ever be buying diapers again but here we are, still can't believe this is actually happening.

We're building Fairmint with a clear vision: bringing recordkeeping and liquidity on the same rail. Onchain. Great to have everyone together in New York this week 🗽

🌪️ The $800B reinsurance industry storms onto Solana. OnRe manages $300M in tokenized reinsurance, spanning global property risk across flood, earthquake, wind, energy and aviation. CEO Dan Roberts on bringing one of the world’s most important financial markets onchain:

it is wild to me that they are laying this out in publicly accessible documents and we are the only ones that care enough to front-run it 😂😭

🇪🇺 BREAKING: The ECB has published a new presentation titled “Central banks on-chain.” The document maps tokenized central bank money, bank deposits, securities and stablecoins operating across interconnected DLT infrastructure.

DOCUMENT FOUND 🌋 ECB publishes a new presentation titled “Central banks on-chain.” The document, released today, maps central bank money, commercial bank deposits and tokenized financial assets operating together across DLT infrastructure: • Tokenized wholesale central bank money, bank deposits, stablecoins, securities and other financial assets • RTGS-to-DLT interoperability, native tokenized central bank reserves, 24/7 programmable settlement • Single-ledger, interconnected-network and multi-ledger architectures The architecture shows how the existing two-tier monetary system can be replicated onchain, with tokenized commercial bank deposits settling against tokenized wholesale central bank money. The Eurosystem is defining pathways for central bank money to connect with market DLT networks used for tokenized securities, deposits and stablecoins. The European Central Bank is mapping the architecture of a programmable onchain financial system.

This Hedera HashCast, Jake speaks with @Kantorcodes, President of @HashgraphOnline. They discuss creating AI-Agent standards, HOL Guard, and more! We also hear his thoughts on @NVIDIA's Open Agent Safety Platform (where @EQTYLab, which uses @Hedera tech, was listed as a partner)

Modern insurance began in a London coffee house nearly 350 years ago. For much of its history, building a new product could take a year, and finding out whether the market actually wanted it could take even longer. Put it onchain and that feedback can happen almost immediately. @onredan joined @IOV_OWL on @Genfinity to talk about what changes when a centuries-old market starts moving at internet speed, and what we've learned taking ONyc from $30M to $300M.
