Cardano at Token2049: Hackathon Wins, RWAs and Midnight

This Cardano news update covers the biggest Token2049 Singapore takeaways and the follow-up announcements now landing across the ecosystem. Peter starts with the latest Ledger and Trezor supply-chain concerns, then moves into Cardano's programmable token standard, Midnight's role in private and compliant transactions, and the growing institutional story around Veridian ID and Fireblocks.

The episode also breaks down the Cardano Foundation booth, UTXO Pitch Night with Draper Dragon, the Origins Hackathon results, and why the number of teams building on Cardano rails was a strong signal from the event. From there, Peter covers Minswap and Fluid Tokens, Cardano's Japan push with Pacific Meta, RealFi and GeroWallet, the .ada domain application, Butane V2 on testnet, Open Wallet Standard support, and checkout tools like Hokan and Chatsoon.

As always, use the official links and project channels before taking action. This is an ecosystem update and security roundup, not financial advice.
