Brazil is becoming a key player in the crypto world, paving the way for XRP to expand its presence in Latam! 🇧🇷🚀
The launch of one of the first XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on the Brazilian stock exchange B3 allows institutions to invest in XRP without the hassle of direct custody. This opens the door for companies to enter the market with confidence!
With 9% of all purchases in 2024 involving XRP, surpassing major cryptocurrencies like ETH and SOL, the demand is clearly on the rise. Ripple sees Latam as a promising region for payments and remittances, and CEO @bgarlinghouse has praised Brazil's progressive crypto regulations.
This move positions Ripple to attract institutional investors, enhancing XRP's role as both an investment instrument and a remittance facilitator. What are your thoughts on XRP's growth in Brazil? Let us know!
Bitcoin governance enters uncharted territory as institutional adoption grows.
Can existing structures keep pace?⏳
🔸 Custodians/ETFs face governance bottlenecks
🔸 Key holders retain disproportionate influence
🔸 Protocol debates (opcodes?) loom
🔸 Decentralization faces critical tests
The most consequential governance challenges may still lie ahead. 📺 Full breakdown with @graminitha1 & @_dsencil. 👇

🏢 A recent Deloitte report forecasts that the global tokenized real estate market will grow from $0.3 trillion in 2024 to $4 trillion by 2035, with a 27% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR).
The report projects growth in tokenized private real estate funds ($1 trillion), tokenized loans and securitizations ($2.39 trillion), and tokenized undeveloped land or under-construction projects ($50 billion).

Bitcoin Core developer @jamesob raises serious concerns about Bitcoin's future as its security budget continues to decline. ⚠️
On the Supply Shock podcast, he warned that shifts in income could tempt changes to Bitcoin's fundamental policies, potentially undermining property rights.
He highlighted risks like introducing tail emissions and altering the supply schedule, which could threaten Bitcoin's core principles. With only two halvings left before a significant mining subsidy reduction, he urges the community to address these issues urgently.
Echoing his concerns, @nikzh suggests that major changes may be needed, including scaling Bitcoin on-chain or even removing the 21 million BTC limit. What are your thoughts on these potential changes? Let us know!

The price of Monero has skyrocketed by over 50% overnight, leaving crypto enthusiasts puzzled! 🚀
On-chain sleuth @ZachXBT suggests this surge is linked to a massive swap of 3,520 BTC (around $330.7M) into XMR. He reported that shortly after the transfer, the funds were laundered through multiple exchanges, driving the price spike.
ZachXBT also noted that it's "highly probable" this hack wasn't orchestrated by North Korean actors.
