Thanks to @VincentSco72192 asking the question directly to @JoelKatz in Vegas, we now know that @ripple has built an entire financial system. It has taken me some time to fully grasp what that means as someone relatively new to the XRP community. For anyone else interested in the logic here’s where I landed. See comments below 👇
Can’t wait for this reveal @elonmusk !!

Cryptocurrencies that comply with ISO 20022 will become the new infrastructure for government-aligned functions.💨
All of the assets listed belong to a new distinct category: government-aligned infrastructure digital assets.💯
XRP: @PalauGovernment deploying Palau Stablecoin/CBDC Pilot
XLM: @mintsyfra Ukraine National Digital Currency Work
ALGO: @RMI_Govt Marshall Islands National Digital Currency Pilot
HBAR: @RBAInfo Australia Project Acacia (wholesale CBDC/tokenized assets)
QNT: @ecb | @bankofengland Digital Euro Partner + Bank of England tokenized deposits
IOTA: @KenTrade_G2B Kenya Trade and Customs digitization
XDC: @IMDAsg Trade documents tokenization across Singapore
ADA: @SERPRO Brazilian Government IT Modernization
These assets were not a designed with the original crypto punk ideas in mind. ⚙️
Instead of avoiding traditional systems, these digital assets were designed to integrate with existing structures and improve them from the inside.🛠️
They were optimized for three practical things:
• providing liquidity so large amounts of value can move smoothly✅
• high-throughput settlement so transactions finalize quickly and at scale✅
• interoperability so they can connect directly with the existing financial system instead of fighting it✅
Speculative projects that are optimized for retail hype and short-term narratives follow the same pattern: pump then dump.🔻
This new category of digital assets will be characterized by sustainable growth and adoption.🎯
And their value will directly reflect the utility they bring to governments worldwide.🌐💸

Welcome to the tokenization supercycle.
Introducing Ondo Intelligent Portfolios, the first three portfolios powered by BlackRock.
Ondo Intelligent Portfolios introduces a new onchain product category: curated investment portfolios delivered as single onchain transferable tokens.
The first three portfolios are based on portfolio strategies developed by BlackRock for Ondo, marking the first time eligible onchain investors can access exposure to such strategies through a single token.
1. BLKHIon: Ondo High Income Powered by BlackRock
2. BLKDIGon: Ondo Diversified Growth Powered by BlackRock
3. BLKGRWon: Ondo High Growth Powered by BlackRock
Diversified, professionally constructed strategies have historically required brokerage accounts and traditional fund structures. Now, delivered as peer-to-peer transferable tokens from Ondo, these onchain portfolios become accessible to eligible non-US investors in permitted jurisdictions through the wallets, exchanges, and DeFi applications they already use.
“Tokenization creates new ways for portfolio strategies to be delivered through digital infrastructure. Diversified portfolio strategies can be incorporated into tokenized investment products, enabling eligible investors to access diversified allocations through a single instrument. It shows how established portfolio construction approaches can be delivered through new channels and technologies.” - Lisa O’Connor, Global Head of the Model Portfolio Solutions team and Co-CIO for Global Solutions within the Multi-Asset Strategies group at BlackRock
Ondo Intelligent Portfolios can unlock novel capabilities:
→ Programmatic rebalancing
→ Full composability with DeFi
→ Complete transparency onchain
→ Multiple asset classes in a single token
This is just the start for Ondo Intelligent Portfolios. The infrastructure is now in place for leading financial institutions to bring their asset allocation expertise onchain.
