If you're clueless about Midnight $NIGHT, here’s the TLDR:
Midnight is a privacy-focused blockchain developed by the team founded by Charles Hoskinson, co-founder of Ethereum and founder of Cardano.
Its main pitch is programmable privacy.
Using zero-knowledge proofs (ZK), Midnight lets applications prove that something is true without exposing all of the underlying data. That opens the door to private transactions, identity systems, DeFi, enterprise applications and regulatory compliance where information can be selectively revealed rather than made permanently public.
Midnight also uses a dual-token model:
$NIGHT is the main utility token.
DUST is a private, non-transferable resource used to power transactions while helping shield metadata.
Now comes v9.
The v9 upgrade brings permissionless, composable smart contracts to mainnet. Developers can deploy contracts freely, and those contracts can now create and interact with other contracts programmatically.
That matters because modern blockchain ecosystems are built around composability: exchanges, lending protocols, vaults, identity systems and other applications connecting together like building blocks.
Midnight is essentially trying to bring that flexibility into a privacy-first environment.
The technology is interesting, but v9 is where the real test starts.
Watch what developers actually build, how quickly tooling improves, how many contracts and users appear on-chain, and whether Midnight can turn sophisticated privacy tech into applications people genuinely want to use.
$NIGHT is one I’ll be watching closely 💯

On the 10th anniversary of @RippleSwell, it felt apt to share Ripple’s best year ever, and why the vision for an Internet of Value will be achieved.
26 companies have reportedly objected to their shares being tokenised on OKXICE.
Why object to wider access, round-the-clock trading and faster settlement?
Let's delve deeper.
Owning a share involves quite a bit of boring plumbing:
• Receiving dividends.
• Exercising voting rights.
• Handling stock splits and takeovers.
• Keeping ownership records straight.
Under the SEC’s framework, qualifying tokenised shares must carry the same rights as their conventional equivalents. Delivering those rights reliably is part of the job.
Then there’s the trading itself. Splitting liquidity across markets can create price differences. Thin weekend trading could produce sharp moves while the main exchange is closed.
And, if a platform fails, investors may blame the company whose name is on the token, even if it never endorsed the arrangement.
Applied Optoelectronics specifically cited uncertainty around price, liquidity, volatility and investor confusion. Most other objectors haven’t publicly explained their reasons, so assigning everyone the same motive would be guesswork.
These objections apply to this particular venue. Companies can still support other approaches to tokenisation.
There’s plenty of potential here. There’s also a reasonable question underneath the excitement:
Who makes sure everything works when something goes wrong?
The boring plumbing deserves a little attention before we admire the new taps.

‼️RARE CLIP: MATTHEW MELLON EXPLAINS HOW XRP SAVED HIM DURING A BANKING CRISIS IN 2015‼️
Few people have seen this clip.😶🌫️
Matthew Mellon was a Mellon banking heir, fresh off the cover of Forbes, and Ripple Labs’ global ambassador.
In July 2015, he was in Greece with his family as banks shut down, ATMs ran out of euros, and cards were refused.🚫
XRP was the only currency that worked for him.✅
“Thanks to XRP, Ripple Labs, I was able to pay my restaurant, my taxi, and my hotel bill.”🧾
“When you have a mobile wallet, you control your own money. You don’t need a bank.”💳
The host asked if this is what the world looks like when banks turn insolvent.
His answer: “Exactly. Absolutely.”🎯
A Ripple representative said this on live television over a decade ago.⏳
In the event of a banking crisis, XRP will prove to be one of the most valuable financial instruments available.🔒
Watch.🍿👇
Spotted this massive billboard right here in NYC for the @Ripple Swell event! 🗽
"A coin you don’t need to flip" exactly how we feel. Utility wins, adoption scales, and the future is built right here.
Drop a 💎 if you’re locked in for this week! #XRP #RippleSwell

Both being built on Hedera and utilizing the

I don't want to be the one who only promotes when everything is green. In my experience, these are golden opportunity entry points but you have to determine what you are comfortable throwing away on an educated risk.

What the sheeit mf! 🤯 Ho Li Fook!
If you hold any Mojicas then get your behind over to xrp.cafe/collection/mojicaed… and scout for "free for allowlist" and you might just be lucky enough to walk away with some awesome new artwork from the Master Scribbler himself, @MrScribbles aka @zacharymojica aka mi Hermano aka Hijo de JOMO 🫡💛 Gracias!
Damn, that really made my night like I just hit the jackpot or something 😁
It was just by chance I stumbled upon them.
Had me wondering if I'd missed previous rewards 🫣
Stay sharp folks!

Working on something for Midnight that is pushing me to my limits. Never worked this hard in my entire life. No sleep, all code. [ANN] soon @phil_uplc @rvcas
