Virtu Financial, M1X Global, and Tradeweb have completed an on-chain repurchase transaction using the digital sovereign bond USDM1 issued by the Marshall Islands as collateral, with all settlements completed on the Canton Network within 10 minutes. The parties stated that this is the first case combining native-issued sovereign collateral with fully on-chain atomic settlement.USDM1 is a dollar-denominated sovereign bond issued on-chain by the Republic of the Marshall Islands, backed 1:1 by short-term U.S. Treasury securities, which continues to pay interest during the collateral period and is structured as a fully collateralized sovereign debt instrument under New York law. The bond is offered through the Tradeweb platform, with custodial services provided by Anchorage Digital, BitGo, and tZERO.Canton is a blockchain network designed for institutional finance, equipped with privacy and permission management features. Prior to this transaction, Tradeweb facilitated the real-time transfer of tokenized U.S. Treasury securities from Franklin Templeton to Virtu Financial on Canton in July. Since August, FalconX and Interstice have launched a cross-chain exchange engine connecting Canton with Ethereum, Solana, and Robinhood Chain, and World Liberty Financial has also natively issued the USD1 stablecoin on Canton.

Wang Chun: Exploration should not be postponed to the next generation; participating in this flight is to give SpaceX a reason not to forget Mars

F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun talks about why he chose Mars instead of the Moon as the target for SpaceX's first interstellar manned mission. He believes that even without private investment, humanity will still reach the Moon, and likely very soon. As space competition intensifies, governments around the world will establish lunar bases. I am happy to watch all of this happen.On the other hand, I am still uncertain about the progress of Mars exploration within our lifetime, and I feel that something should be done about it. I hope that by purchasing a ticket for a mission to fly by Mars, SpaceX will have another reason not to forget about Mars. Because we really should not delay Mars exploration for the next generation.Yesterday, SpaceX announced that Wang Chun will participate in SpaceX's first interstellar manned mission as the mission commander, executing a flight lasting about two years: first exploring the outer space of the Earth-Moon system, then flying by Mars and returning to Earth. Before this interstellar mission, Wang Chun will participate in a commercial crewed lunar flyby with Dennis and Akiko Tito, with the planned flight being within 200 kilometers of the lunar surface. This is the first commercial crewed interstellar mission of Starship, and Wang Chun previously commanded the Fram2 polar orbit mission in 2025, gaining experience for this flight.
