I once again am asking…
Does PJ Fleck know that he’s supposed to try and win football games?
Punting down 14 with 3 minutes left is fireable. @GopherFootball

Do regulators need to change their reporting to adopt new settlement rails?
At #BAC2026, @RyanKirkley explained why the answer should be no: support ISO and SWIFT messaging standards, and give regulators exactly what they already require.
Not replacing SWIFT. Working alongside it.

Montana voters approved a ballot measure to ban corporations, nonprofits and labor unions from doing business in the state if they made political contributions. State's rights v. Citizens United. Will be fun to see SCOTUS deal with that one. Bravo Montana!!!

“CBDC” can describe very different systems.
Wholesale CBDC
Bank-to-bank settlement, securities DvP, FX and high-value flows.
Retail CBDC
Consumer payments, broad distribution and privacy-sensitive everyday use.
Combination CBDC
Models that connect institutional settlement with wider payment use through intermediaries.
Same label. Different architecture.

What happens to cross-border trade if a country is suddenly cut off from SWIFT?
At #BAC2026, @RyanKirkley walked through a hypothetical, and why separate settlement rails could keep trade moving between willing counterparties.
Resilience, not workaround.

What actually happens after you hit send?
@RyanKirkley joined the Crypto Hipster Podcast for a conversation about the infrastructure underneath money movement.
Cross-border settlement, stablecoins, CBDCs, interoperability, tokenization and how financial networks connect.

Genuinely astounds me how bad loyalty programs have gotten on all airlines and hotels…
I fly roughly 250,000 miles per year and stay over 100 nights in hotels…
The reality is unless you are a budget traveler loyalty gives you zero advantages compared to booking business or the best deal on a hotel in a city.

“Settled” should not be a black box.
For every corridor, an operations team needs to see:
✅ Status
✅ Counterparty
✅ Fees
✅ Liquidity
✅ Exceptions
✅ Final confirmation
Infrastructure gets useful when the people running it can see what is happening.

Institutional liquidity can exist and still be difficult to move.
@RyanKirkley spoke with Traders Magazine about the infrastructure behind digital-asset markets: custody, counterparties, fragmented liquidity and settlement.

You can’t make this up… while I’m in Kenya the state department issues a travel advisory level 3… so while on cellular networks in Kenya I’m blocked from accessing the @StateDept.

Africa does not necessarily have to recreate every layer of the financial system built elsewhere.
New settlement rails create another option.
One week from today, @RyanKirkley will explore that idea at @BitcoinEventsCo’s #BAC2026:

Cross-border payments need infrastructure built for the way money moves today.
Ryan Kirkley(@RyanKirkley), CEO and co-founder of Global Settlement Network (GSN)(@GSXnetwork) settlement, is bringing that focus to Africa Blockchain Festival 2026.
With $11 million raised in pre-seed funding and over $125 million in settlement liquidity commitments, Ryan is working to make global payments faster, more efficient, and accessible. As GSN expands across Africa, his work addresses critical challenges in dollar liquidity, fragmented payment systems, and the cost of international settlements.
From stablecoins to institutional finance, the future of global settlement is taking shape.
