We closed out UN Week with a warm evening in New York, cohosted with @MoCTI_SL last Friday.
Our founder @realyanxin joined Chief Minister @dsengeh, Minister @SalimaMBah, Ambassador Dr. Abu Bakarr Karim, @ChristexFndn founder @c_ogoo, and many friends to reflect on our journey together and share what comes next.
We and Sierra Leone are thinking much bigger.
Putting a national currency onchain is not modernization. Modernization means making money measurably easier to use.
A stablecoin like this needs reserves, redemption, and oversight. Someone must be accountable for each. So who decides, and who executes?
Public authorities set the mandate, including issuer standards, reserve and redemption requirements, and supervision. Licensed institutions and infrastructure partners build and operate within that framework.
Sovereignty means retaining control over the rules, not building every component yourself.
Every Fiat Becomes a Stablecoin.
USD, EUR, SOM, BRL... The multi currency onchain economy is coming.
Together with @BNBCHAIN, we are publishing A Sovereign Stablecoin Framework, built from our work with governments.

4/ For buyers (open to public)
Browse the order book by unlock date. Same price listings from different sellers are aggregated into one tier, and counterparties stay anonymous.
Pick a tier, pick your size, pay in USDC on Ethereum. Sellers set the price, so there's nothing to negotiate.
Purchased SIGN settles to your account daily. List it for sale again on Forward Claim or claim it on TokenTable at unlock date.
For sellers (existing investors & early contributors)
Connect your wallet, see your locked allocation by unlock date, split it into units, set your own price per unit.
You can price in tiers (e.g. some units at price X, the rest at price Y).
Listings go live immediately.
Serious builders climb to the top
SO THE WORLD KNOWS PEACE
Congrats @AngelaNikolau_ @IvanBeerkus

Following consensus from Sign Foundation and the majority of our backers, we are updating the $SIGN token unlock schedule.
The first three unlocks remain unchanged: 1/24 monthly through July 2026.
After that, unlocks will move into spaced tranches:
• Jan 15, 2027: 1/4
• Jul 15, 2027: 1/4
• Jan 15, 2028: 1/4
• Apr 15, 2028: final 1/8
The revised schedule is being synced to CoinMarketCap
coinmarketcap.com/currencies…
All investor and early contributor tokens remain fully unlocked by April 15, 2028. This is a timing restructure, not an extension. There is no preferential acceleration.
The purpose is to reduce continuous monthly overhang and turn unlocks into managed liquidity events aligned with stronger business and market windows.
We are also launching Forward Claim, a dedicated venue for locked tokens, allowing eligible holders to rebalance through an OTC-style forward market without impacting spot liquidity.
More details will follow.
