NAMIBIA STRENGTHENS GLOBAL LEADERSHIP IN GREEN INDUSTRIALIZATION THROUGH STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH ELON MUSK: GREEN HYDROGEN ORGANISATION

Published

on

LAGOS, Nigeria, Oct. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Namibia is set to tap into Tesla’s Energy Master Plan to further her Green industrialization strategy following a high-level meeting in New York, United States of America of Namibian officials with Mr. Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla and Space X.

Namibia is aiming for continental leadership in sustainability by focusing on critical mineral resources, which are essential for developing green technologies. By positioning itself as a hub in the global energy transition, the country is poised to attract foreign investments and build competitive industries key to a sustainable future. Namibia’s aspirations go beyond renewable energy, aiming to capitalize on its vast resources and become a pivotal player in the green economy.

In New York, Namibia’s Green Hydrogen Commissioner, James Mnyupe, along with His Excellency, Dr. Nangolo Mbumba, held a high-level meeting with Mr. Musk to discuss Tesla’s Energy Master Plan. The dialogue centered on Namibia’s green industrialization strategy and how Tesla’s renewable energy solutions could help the country achieve its goals of a fully electrified and sustainable future. The discussions also highlighted the importance of Namibia’s renewable resources, including solar and wind, which position it at the forefront of the global energy transition.

A central focus of the meeting was the potential for investment in Namibia, particularly through SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service. Designed to provide high-speed internet access to underserved regions, Starlink could be instrumental in closing Namibia’s digital divide. Photos shared by the Namibian president on X (formerly Twitter) showed a demonstration of the Starlink Mini, signaling the country’s interest in leveraging cutting-edge satellite technology for digital inclusion.

Namibia’s prominence in the global renewable energy conversation is also reflected in its hosting of the Namibia Green Hydrogen Forum. This event, organized by the Namibia Investment Promotion and Development Board (NIPDB) in collaboration with the United Nations Department for Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), brought together global leaders and investors in green hydrogen. At the forum, Namibia’s Minister of Mines and Energy, Hon. Tom Alweendo, along with NIPDB Chief Executive, Nangula Uaandja, presented the country’s vision for developing competitive green hydrogen industries, gaining recognition from figures such as Paddy Padmanathan and David Posen.

Tesla’s Energy Master Plan, which focuses on retrofitting power grids with renewable energy and scaling hydrogen production, fits seamlessly with Namibia’s green economy goals. Namibia’s abundant natural resources, including sunlight and wind, provide a foundation for this shared vision of an electrified and sustainable future. This alignment opens the door for significant collaboration that could accelerate Namibia’s green industrialization efforts.

However, achieving this ambitious vision will require the support of all Namibians. SWAPO candidate Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah recently addressed a rally in Walvis Bay, where she stressed the importance of unity in achieving the country’s ambitious goals. Reflecting on the progress Namibia has made, she stated, “We are delivering and we are going to deliver. Just give us that chance. Rome was not built in a day.” Her call for unity in diversity resonates with the country’s green industrialization journey, which requires a collective effort from all Namibians to reach its full potential.

Elon Musk’s involvement represents a crucial learning opportunity for Namibia, as the country looks to draw insights from global industrialists to bolster its green ambitions. Namibia’s collaboration with Musk and its participation in international forums highlight the nation’s growing stature in the renewable energy sector. By positioning itself as a leader in green industrialization, Namibia seeks to not only contribute to the global energy transition but also drive economic growth through sustainable means.

Nest Partners with Dinari to Deliver Real World Yield Through First Tokenized Blackstone ETF on Plume

Published

By

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Nest, the flagship RWA staking protocol exclusive to Plume Network, today announced the first tokenized Blackstone ETF vault through its partnership with Dinari. Nest’s new permissionless vault features the Blackstone Senior Loan ETF, and will deliver real world yields to DeFi users once the vault is launched on Plume mainnet. This announcement marks a significant expansion of Dinari’s long-term partnership with Plume, as the established tokenization platform brings institutional-grade assets into the rapidly growing Plume ecosystem.

The first tokenized Blackstone ETF on Plume Network joins Nest’s suite of yield-generating solutions, which includes the Treasuries Vault for professional firms and the High Yield Vault for growth-focused strategies.

“By launching this first-ever tokenized Blackstone ETF vault, we’re creating new opportunities for users to access institutional yields,” said Teddy Pornprinya, Co-founder at Plume. “Our partnership with Dinari transforms traditionally exclusive products into accessible opportunities through permissionless infrastructure.”

Through this latest vault, users who stake stablecoins into a vault on Nest receive yield tokens that appreciate in value as SRLN.d, Dinari’s tokenized version of the SPDR Blackstone Senior Loan ETF, generates returns. The ETF provides strong downside protection through floating rate yields indexed to SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate).

The vault benefits from SRLN.d’s key features: competitive yields with automatic dividend accrual and reinvestment, full backing by the underlying Blackstone ETF, and guaranteed 1:1 USDC redemption. Blackstone oversees the management of the underlying assets, while Alpaca Securities provides brokerage services for asset transactions.

The floating rate structure provides natural protection against interest rate fluctuations. Blackstone’s ETF is included in a variety of vaults on Nest, where it provides the base level stability and yield. It’s paired with liquidity from yield-bearing stablecoin protocols Mountain and M^0, serving both retail users and liquidity providers.

Nest’s infrastructure has been secured by multiple firms. The protocol’s smart contracts have been audited by SlowMist, while Trail of Bits and Zellic have audited the broader protocol infrastructure. All Nest vaults, including this latest offering, are assessed by institutional risk manager Cicada Partners.

The integration of Dinari’s Blackstone ETF products marks only the beginning of a longstanding collaboration between Nest and Dinari. Future plans include deeper integration through shared global neobank initiatives and expanded access to highly liquid, yield-bearing assets, all powered by Plume’s infrastructure.

This growing partnership will continue to bring institutional-grade investment opportunities to Plume’s expanding ecosystem of protocols and users.

Nest is a flagship staking protocol for users to earn RWA yield on their stablecoins.
