The 26-year-old Shough is in his rookie season after the Saints selected him with a second-round draft pick. Shough is just two starts into his NFL career, but has shown some promise early on, leading New Orleans to a victory over a potential playoff team in the Carolina Panthers in just his second start. The 40th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft threw for two touchdowns, zero picks and 282 passing yards with a 128.9 passer rating in the 17-7 win. Shough showed solid pocket presence and the ability to convert on big plays, with the young quarterback connecting on plays for 52 yards, 63 yards and 30 yards. The latter two plays were for touchdowns and all of them happened on third-and-long conversions – situations where teams are typically doomed. Mathieu – who played for the Saints during his final three seasons before retiring after last season – says Shough is “showing some promise.” “He’s kind of showing some promise,” says Mathieu in a one-on-one interview of Shough as the Saints’ starting quarterback. “Especially with Tyler and the way he played two weeks ago against the Panthers.

I thought he took care of the football, I thought he pushed the ball down. I thought his pocket awareness was pretty good.” The thing that Mathieu liked the most about Shough was the fact…

PANews reported on November 23 that, according to Jinshi News, Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po stated in his blog that, influenced by geopolitical events, global investors are reassessing the risks of their asset portfolios and adjusting their investment strategies to diversify risk, making Hong Kong a safe haven for capital. Following a 7% increase last year, Hong Kong's total bank deposits have further increased by over 10% this year to over HK$19 trillion. Leading the world in IPO activity, a booming wealth management industry, and deepening financial cooperation with other parts of the world all reflect the international capital's favor towards the Hong Kong market. Several major IPOs this year have also attracted cornerstone investors from the West and the Middle East. Recently, many international financial leaders attending conferences in Hong Kong have indicated that their institutions are planning to hire more staff and expand their operations there.

The post Can XRP Gain Traction in Traditional Finance as ISO 20022 Standard Officially Goes Live? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Insights ISO 20022 goes live as banks shift to a new shared messaging format. XRP is in the spotlight as users debate its place in future settlement flows. Market watchers say real demand would depend on actual cross-border use. The ISO 20022 messaging standard is now active across major financial networks. This has led to new questions about how banks may link to blockchain systems and whether XRP could gain a place in that process. Market commentators explain what the shift means, who is involved, and how it may shape future use. Banks Move to ISO 20022 While XRP Debate Grows The ISO 20022 standard went live and drew fresh attention to XRP. Many users in the crypto space asked whether the new system would help the coin gain better traction in traditional finance. Public figures in the community gave different views, but most agreed on one point. The standard changes how banks share payment data, not how digital assets move. Supporters of XRP repeated that the coin has no counterparty and can act as a bridge between different systems.

In addition, it was argued that this kind of role might help XRP in the long term. Some community members pointed out that the ISO 20022 update should be seen in a simple way. They compared the change to two people who speak different languages, choosing a shared one so they can understand each other. Banks will now use a more structured format for messages. This will help them read and process information in the same way. This shift does not turn XRP into a required tool, as it only…
