Ondo Finance’s flagship short-term US Treasuries fund, OUSG, is now live on the XRP Ledger. Known for its market-leading instant liquidity on Ethereum, OUSG is now mintable and redeemable seamlessly on the XRP Ledger with Ripple’s enterprise-grade stablecoin, RLUSD. OUSG gives institutional investors on XRPL access to short-term US Treasuries—fully backed, yield-generating, and compliant. Now with on-demand access via RLUSD. This is a first for XRPL: → Seamless settlement between OUSG and RLUSD → Onchain treasury exposure for institutions → RLUSD utility beyond just payments Ondo Finance continues to lead the way in real-world asset tokenization, with over $1.3B in TVL. OUSG was the first tokenized security to gain material adoption, and with over $690M in TVL, remains one of the largest tokenized Treasury products in the market. OUSG’s portfolio is invested in funds such as the BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL), as well as funds from Franklin Templeton, WisdomTree, and FundBridge. By bringing OUSG to the XRPL, Ondo Finance is bringing institutional-grade assets directly to the institutions, providing access to high-quality tokenized assets as flexible treasury management tools.

Chainlink Smart Value Recapture (SVR) has officially recaptured over $1.1M in non-toxic liquidation MEV and processed over $32M in liquidations. SVR is a novel oracle solution that enables DeFi protocols like @aave to recapture oracle-related MEV from liquidations that would otherwise go to third parties. The value recaptured via SVR not only creates new revenue streams for DeFi protocols but also, through a built-in revenue split, contributes to the long-term sustainability of the Chainlink Network. SVR coverage now spans ~75% of Aave's total Ethereum TVL, representing ~95% of Aave's OEV-relevant TVL. With an increase in the number of SVR-enabled searchers, the recapture rate now averages over 80%, and has reached over 90% in recent transactions, returning more value back to DeFi protocols like Aave. Thank you to Aave, @bgdlabs, and the broader Aave community for the continued collaboration in advancing DeFi economics and oracle infrastructure innovation.

“Banks and non-banks should be able to issue #stablecoins”, says #Fed’s Waller. 🇺🇸 US Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller expressed confidence that the stablecoin market has matured, and could expand the reach of the US dollar, improve retail and cross-border payments. 🇺🇸 He pushed for a regulatory and supervisory framework that would allow banks to issue dollar-pegged digital currencies and ensure safety without stifling innovation. 🇺🇸 Waller acknowledged that the current use cases for stablecoins, such as providing a safe store of value in crypto trading and access to US dollars, are limited. 🇺🇸 He hopes for the private sector to “find ways to support the use of stablecoins for retail payments”. The Fed governor’s confidence in stablecoins is a welcomed one, as current challenges include a lack of coordination and clear regulation across states and national boundaries, as well as the risk of “depegs”.

🔥💡 How Sofia Ramos Turned a “Good Enough” Centrifugal Fan Into a Game-Changer — With TCAE 🌀✨ You ever notice how some engineers just see what others miss? 👀 That’s Sofia Ramos. She was looking at a centrifugal fan design that technically worked. It was fine. But Sofia knew fine wasn’t enough. 💭⚙️ “This fan could be so much better,” she thought. Instead of pushing it to manufacturing and hoping for the best, she turned to TCAE. No guesswork. No expensive prototypes. Just bold, simulation-first thinking. 🔍💻 And here’s where it gets exciting 👇 Sofia used TCAE to run hundreds of variations—tweaking impeller geometry, airflow angles, turbulence zones. Every simulation opened up a new insight: ⚡ Smoother airflow here. ⚡ Lower turbulence there. ⚡ A serious jump in efficiency overall. 📈🔥 The outcome? ✅ Energy consumption down. ✅ Operational costs slashed. ✅ A fan that practically paid for itself in savings. 💰🛠️ But the real story isn’t just the fan—it’s the mindset. Sofia showed that simulation-first design isn’t some luxury reserved for R&D labs. It’s a smarter way of building products. It’s how leaders stay ahead instead of playing catch-up. 🚀 That’s why at TCAE, we believe every product team can unlock this potential. Whether you’re optimizing fans, pumps, turbines—or your next big idea—the future belongs to those who simulate boldly and design with vision. 🌍✨ 🎥 Want to see Sofia’s journey in action? 👉 Case Study: https://lnkd.in/dCsMGRj 👉 Watch: https://lnkd.in/e3Xfb_nx Let’s stop designing in the dark. Let’s design smarter, together. 🔬💼 #SimulationDrivenDesign #EngineeringLeadership #SimulationFirst #EnergyEfficiency #SmartManufacturing #EngineeringInnovation #DigitalTwin #CFD #TCAE #ProductDesignRevolution

In 2025, Lavazza Group has recorded over 26 tons of coffee on the Algorand blockchain—at a transaction cost of just $0.005. For comparison: 💰 On Ethereum, the same transactions would have cost $30.595 💰 On Solana, they would have cost $0.48 That makes Algorand 619,080% more cost-efficient than Ethereum and 9,500% more cost-efficient than Solana. For enterprises looking to integrate blockchain, cost matters. #AlgorandCan
