Is big money choosing Solana? Kyle Samani, co-founder of Forward, breaks down his latest deal on the main stage at Solana, a minority stake in Henri, a reinsurance RWA yielding 12-13%, funded by a Galaxy debt facility at 3.5%. He makes the case for why Solana has quietly become the dominant chain for institutional payments, tokenized equities, and real world assets. From Western Union and Visa to Meta and PayPal, the biggest names in finance are all building on the same rails. Plus, why he thinks most altcoins are bleeding out, Ethereum L2s are in trouble, and why this bear market might be the best investing opportunity in crypto right now. - Timecodes: 00:00 - Kyle Samani at Consensus Miami 2026 02:08 - Bear Markets Are Where Winners Are Born 03:30 - Why Solana Is Winning Payments and RWAs 06:00 - DTCC's Tokenized Equities Pilot and SEC's Project Crypto 08:48 - Building a Market Maker With Claude Code 10:00 - Agentic Payments and the x402 Protocol 13:46 - Why Institutions Pick Public Chains Over Walled Gardens 15:43 - Why Solana: Gas, On-Ramps, Neutrality 17:21 - Are Ethereum L2s in Trouble?
On this episode of CoinDesk's Public Keys at the New York Stock Exchange, Jennifer Sanasie is joined by CoinDesk Indices President Dave LaValle to unpack a $2.97 billion outflow streak from Bitcoin ETFs and what it really means for institutional adoption.Bloomberg Intelligence Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas joins the show to explain why the recent outflows may be more noise than signal, share his bullish outlook on the fast-rising HYPE ETFs, and discuss how firms like Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and BlackRock are expanding access to Bitcoin through new investment products. In this week's 10X segment, LaValle breaks down the fundamentals of margin trading, explaining what separates professional traders from retail investors when it comes to managing leverage, risk, and conviction. Plus, Stellar Development Foundation CEO and Executive Director Denelle Dixon discusses DTCC's decision to select Stellar as the first public blockchain connected to its upcoming tokenized securities settlement platform, and what it means for the future of tokenization and institutional blockchain adoption. - This episode of Public Keys is brought to you by Kraken.

This is OFFICIALLY the longest episode of the Von Talks Podcast. He went over the usual topics but it was a lot to yap about such as the new games he's playing, the fact that the Steam Deck saw a crazy increase in price of $300. The DTCC and XLM are now partnering to tokenize assets on XLM's ledger (huge news for investors) What type of plan you should have when it comes to investing, and new music releases. This is one of the best episodes to date so dive in to stay in tune with current events.
In this episode, Amanda and Tony discuss Bitcoin's recent pullback, the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF selloff, Ethereum maxi capitulation, DTCC's tokenization efforts on Stellar, the SEC's delay on tokenization guidance, the new Bitcoin Reserve bill, the Clarity Act, and reports that JPMorgan may acquire crypto companies.
A video recently went viral of Larry Fink, head of BlackRock, calling for Americans to invest their retirement savings and pension funds into AI data centers. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger argue that once investment becomes "mandatory," choice is removed and your 401(k) becomes collateral repurposed to support the globalist agenda—with risk and loss staying with you while upside and control go to the billionaires building the infrastructure. Catherine Austin Fitts explains that most people don't actually own their 401(k)s; they hold a "claim" through the DTCC, meaning their savings can be reallocated without their consent into centralized AI and energy grids. The two hosts assert that the real purpose of massive centralized AI data centers is not productivity but control—specifically to enable central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) that will monitor every transaction in real time, with universal basic income (UBI) being the mechanism to force people to accept microchips under their skin. Jimmy concludes that the "race against China" is a psyop to get the public to comply without asking questions, and that the ICE prisons being built are not for immigrants but for Americans who eventually resist this takeover. Plus segments on Tucker Carlson railing against the predatory credit card industry, an Israeli released after being arrested for running an illicit biolab in Las Vegas and how Republicans proved that the "Force the Vote" strategy would work.

Our Global Head of Banks and Diversified Finance Research Betsy Graseck explains how digital assets could reshape market infrastructure and how money moves, without overthrowing wholesale banking.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Betsy Graseck: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Betsy Graseck, Morgan Stanley's Global Head of Banks and Diversified Finance Research.Today, we are looking out to 2030 to estimate what we expect the impact of digital assets could be on global wholesale banking.It's Monday, May 18th at 3:30 PM in New York.We live in a world where money can move instantly. A payment or transfer can happen in a matter of minutes, if not seconds, in real time. But much of the financial system runs on older networks for moving cash and securities. These networks are what the industry calls rails. We expect clients will be looking for faster settlement across global banking services, driving the industry to adopt digital asset rails over the next decade.We see three key drivers pushing this today. Number one, market support is out there for fintechs, which is increasing their competitiveness. Number two, global legislation and regulation is clarifying requirements for enabling digital asset services led by the U.S. with the Genius Act in 2025, and with the forward motion being made on the Clarity Act in 2026. The third driver of digital asset transformation is that exchanges are extending hours and moving towards offering 24/7 capabilities over the next several years.Now, we expect digital assets will have two major impacts on global wholesale banks. First, as banks lean into servicing crypto assets, we see the potential for an additional $1.5 [billion] to $8 billion in revenues in 2030, which adds up to 1 percent to our global wholesale banks revenue forecast of $770 billion in 2030.Second, impact on global wholesale banks is a risk. There is risk when money is in motion, and money could be set in motion as clients migrate revenues from traditional asset rails to digital asset rails. We anticipate this could impact $21 billion to $82 billion of revenues in 2030, primarily in cross-border payments, liquidity management, collateral management, businesses.Now, while this transformation is likely to impact the industry over the next decade as more services go digital, we expect several catalysts in the second half will focus investor attention on these changes now. What are those catalysts? Number one, Clarity Act. The Clarity Act passing Congress would open up the door for wholesale banks to service crypto asset class more holistically.Second catalyst, the DTCC, which is a major infrastructure player for securities markets in the U.S. The DTCC will be adding tokenized products in the fall of 2026. And then lastly, Nasdaq and NYSE are planning to extend trading hours on December 6th, 2026, to 23 hours by five days a week.Now, what should investors make of all of this? Number one critical to understand how the investments that you have today are positioned for this transformation. Are managements protecting their strengths by developing capabilities for an ecosystem increasingly run on digital rails?Thanks for listening.

Bitcoin is back above $81K, Strategy stock is up 50% in a month, and the crypto industry is riding a massive wave of momentum — but not everything is bullish. Coinbase just laid off 14% of its workforce, blaming AI and a down market, while Aave is locked in an emergency legal battle to unfreeze $71 million in ETH tied to a North Korea hack. Meanwhile, the CLARITY Act is closer than ever to becoming law, Circle exploded nearly 20% on the news, DTCC is piloting tokenized securities trading with BlackRock, JPMorgan, and Goldman Sachs, and crypto exchange Bullish just dropped $4.2 billion to acquire Equiniti.

Bitcoin has broken above $80,000, triggering short liquidations and shifting sentiment toward a potential altseason as ETF inflows remain strong. The White House confirmed lawmakers have reached a compromise on the crypto market structure bill with a markup expected this month, while the U.S. House advances stablecoin legislation requiring 100% reserves. DTCC plans to launch tokenized securities trading in July, and Consensus Miami 2026 is underway. A new wave of supply-chain attacks is raising alarms, and several altcoins are coiling for potential breakouts. Markets are showing renewed bullish energy with focus on regulatory progress and institutional adoption. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Today the panel discusses the banking lobby's push for regulatory clarity, the Stablecoin bill's impact on Coinbase/Circle, and DTCC's upcoming tokenized securities pilot. They explore why institutions are choosing public blockchains like Ethereum, debate token valuations vs. infrastructure-like economics (TCP/IP vs. applications), and examine permissionless innovation, DeFi, and long-term competitive dynamics in crypto.

Go to ether.fi/unchained to claim your offer. ======================================================== Canton is the chain behind JPMorgan's deposit token, DTCC, Broadridge's $400 billion repo book, HSBC, Visa, and a growing roster of the biggest names in global finance. It describes itself as a public permissionless blockchain. But is it? Yuval Rooz, co-founder and CEO of Digital Asset, faces off against Alex Gluchowski, co-founder and CEO of Matter Labs, and Dragonfly managing partner Haseeb Qureshi in a live debate. The charges range from foundational: Canton cannot enforce financial rules without a trusted third party, its validators are permissioned in everything but name, and there is no universally shared ledger. Rooz fires back on all of it and, at one point, concedes something that may surprise you. If the label matters as much as the technology, this episode will force you to decide what blockchain actually means, and whether that answer has consequences for the institutions staking their infrastructure on it.

Using regulatory innovations like the JOBS Act, Mark has developed strategies to make capital formation easier, faster, and more accessible. His work effectively democratizes Wall Street, opening doors for smaller businesses and leveling the playing field for individual investors.Mark explained how the traditional investment model excluded non-accredited investors from participating. “The rich were getting richer,” he said, “while everyday Americans who wanted to support businesses and be part of their growth were left out.” Regulations like Reg A+ under the JOBS Act have changed the game, allowing companies to crowdfund investments while offering liquidity through public markets. This enables “individual investors to get the same access the Wall Street elite always had.”Mark Elenowitz, CEO of Nant Global Finance, will be speaking at SuperCrowd26, featuring PurposeBuilt100™. His session, "What Actually Scales: What Survives and What Doesn't," will offer invaluable insights into building sustainable, scalable ventures. Don't miss this chance to learn from an industry innovator. Register now at https://supercrowd26.comNant Global Finance is leading the way by utilizing these updated frameworks to innovate the capital markets. In 2017, Mark spearheaded the first Reg A+ company to go public on the New York Stock Exchange. Since then, similar groundbreaking successes have followed, including the public offering of Newsmax, which raised capital from over 30,000 investors. These milestones highlight a future in which smaller businesses can access public markets without the overwhelming costs associated with traditional IPOs.Part of Mark's mission is to support entrepreneurs who start their journeys with limited capital and resources. Through regulated investment crowdfunding campaigns, Nant Global Finance provides a way for smaller businesses to generate significant capital in ways that mirror traditional IPOs. As Mark noted, “Customers can become shareholders, and shareholders can become customers—it's self-fulfilling.”Mark's approach to capital markets is clear: combine technology and progressive regulations to create wealth-sharing opportunities on an unprecedented scale. Whether you're a business owner with a bold vision or an investor eager to support innovative ideas, this model offers a tangible path to meaningful impact.By creating these opportunities and reconnecting public markets with smaller enterprises, Mark is building a Wall Street that serves both investors and entrepreneurs alike.tl;dr:Mark Elenowitz shares how new laws under the JOBS Act are democratizing early-stage business investments.Nant Global Finance creates new opportunities for small entrepreneurs to raise capital through Reg A+ IPOs.Mark highlights his pioneering efforts, including the first Reg A+ listing on the New York Stock Exchange.Through resilience and creativity, he overcame obstacles to design innovative solutions for emerging markets.Mark's inspiring determination reminds entrepreneurs to embrace persistence as a key to long-term success.How to Develop Unyielding Determination As a SuperpowerMark's superpower is his refusal to give up, no matter the obstacles. He shared, “I've never been one to accept what everyone else is doing without trying to find an alternative path.” Mark explained how this perseverance has fueled his career, allowing him to see possibilities others overlooked. By tackling challenges like modernizing Wall Street and introducing blockchain-based securities, Mark leverages his unrelenting drive to empower others. “I've been an entrepreneur all my life…I earned everything I had,” he said, highlighting how resilience has shaped his approach to business and life.One of Mark's defining moments came during the 2010 collapse of the Chinese cross-border M&A market. Overnight, he faced the stark reality of managing a firm of over 70 employees with no revenue. Standing at a crossroads, Mark embraced the newly emerging JOBS Act as an opportunity to build something transformative. This pivotal decision not only saved his business but laid the foundation for his industry-changing work in crowdfunding and democratizing capital markets.Tips for Developing Determination:Learn from mistakes and consistently use them as stepping stones for growth.Identify risk as an opportunity—take calculated risks to achieve meaningful goals.Challenge conventional paths and always seek creative, alternative solutions.Embrace resilience by committing to your vision, even in the face of setbacks.Focus on persistence by breaking down overwhelming challenges into manageable tasks.By following Mark's example and advice, you can make unyielding determination a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileMark Elenowitz (he/him):CEO, Nant Global FinanceAbout Nant Global Finance: Nant Global Finance, Inc.

Hex Trust CPO Giorgia Pellizzari explores Bitcoin's evolution into a yield-bearing asset, the strategic launch of wrapped XRP, and the path to scaling RWA tokenization. Giorgia Pellizzari, Chief Product Officer at Hex Trust joined CoinDesk Live at Consensus Hong Kong to provide a deep dive into the institutional shifts defining the digital asset landscape. Looking back at 2025 as the "Year of bitcoin," she explains how the launch of new primitives like the Babylon protocol transformed bitcoin from a "lazy asset" into a productive, yield-bearing instrument for institutions. The conversation highlights Hex Trust's issuance of wrapped XRP (wXRP). Pellizzari details how this regulated 1:1 backed asset is bridging the gap between the XRP Ledger and high-velocity DeFi ecosystems like Solana, Ethereum, and Optimism. Pellizzari also offers a look at the future of Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization, citing the DTCC's move to tokenize hundreds of billions of dollars as a massive structural catalyst. She argues that while infrastructure is ready, the missing piece remains secondary market liquidity and regulatory comfort. - This episode was hosted live by Jennifer Sanasie and Will Foxley at Consensus Hong Kong 2026, presented by Hex Trust.

This week on The Audit Podcast, our guest is Aadesh Gandhre, Chief Audit Executive at DTCC. Aadesh shares his perspective on reshaping the perception of internal audit, both inside organizations and across the profession. Drawing on his background in technology and innovation, he explains why internal audit must move away from being seen as a spotlight that hunts for findings and instead become a lighthouse that helps organizations navigate risk and change. We talk about servant leadership and how small cultural shifts, such as celebrating wins, encouraging experimentation, and reframing failure as learning, can unlock innovation within audit teams. Aadesh also walks through how his team is using gamification, internal recognition, and creative engagement to build a stronger audit brand and a more motivated global workforce.

In this episode of FYI – For Your Innovation, ARK's Cathie Wood speaks with Don Wilson, a pioneer in crypto market infrastructure and the founder of DRW and Cumberland. They discuss the accelerating shift of traditional finance onto blockchains, focusing on the emergence of the Canton Network, a public permissionless blockchain designed for institutions—with privacy and permissioning at its core. Don unpacks why Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation's (DTCC's) decision to tokenize U.S. Treasuries on Canton marks a turning point in institutional adoption, how Canton balances decentralization with control, and what makes it uniquely suited for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. The conversation covers stablecoins, the evolving role of private credit and equity, and how tokenization might reshape collateral, leverage, and capital efficiency. Don also offers sharp takes on Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) vs. payment for order flow, prediction markets, and whether we're still in a “four-year crypto cycle.” A must-listen for those tracking the future of digital asset infrastructure.Key Points From This Episode:[00:00] Intro + Why tokenization matters: reducing costs, unlocking capital efficiency, and ARK's thesis on blockchain infrastructure[06:27] Don Wilson's background, early crypto involvement, and the founding of Cumberland and Canton[09:57] Why privacy and permissioning are essential for institutional blockchains[13:44] DTCC's adoption of the Canton Network and the mechanics of tokenizing U.S. Treasuries[25:05] Real-world benefits of tokenization: collateral mobility, after-hours lending, and stablecoin settlement[29:23] Prediction markets: institutional vs. retail use cases and the importance of privacy on-chain[35:13 – 37:23] Scaling Canton: new strategic investors and trillions in tokenized assets already on-chain[37:25 – 47:34] Private equity and credit on-chain: implications for efficiency, leverage, and retail access[47:34] MEV vs. payment for order flow: why Don believes MEV resembles illegal front-running[48:18] Crypto market structure: October flash crash, ETFs, and institutional buyers in the current cycle[55:10] Closing remarks
Send us fan responses! What if courts act like banks, your all-caps name functions as a business, and the real game is learning to contract on your terms? We got together with Dom Kalam and Equity Mac to unpack the mechanics behind status, standing, and identity—and how those mechanics shape everything from traffic tickets to taxes to titles. The conversation moves from first principles to practical tools: Black's Law Dictionary, UCC 1-308 to reserve rights, and the shift from a default sole proprietorship to layered structures like holding companies, private family trusts, and 508(c)(1)(A) ministries. The aim is simple: separate identity from liability, keep clean records, and operate in the private with clarity and competence.Ownership becomes the bridge between law and technology. We dig into equitable vs legal title, deeds and MSOs, and why “possession” isn't ownership if the paper says otherwise. Then we connect it to the next wave: blockchain, tokenization, and ISO 20022 payment rails like XRP and XLM. With the DTCC exploring tokenized settlement, assets from real estate to equities can be represented on-chain—transparent, portable, fast. That demands better governance: who holds the keys, who writes the bylaws, who benefits, and how disputes get resolved. “Not your keys, not your crypto” reads like a 21st-century lesson in title law.We also share tactics for navigating taxes and capital in a system built on contracts: lawful tax avoidance via structure, cash-flow lending that beats weak credit, inter-entity trade lines, and using arbitration or audits to fix records. The throughline is education by action—read primary sources, learn the language, document your rules, and practice. Whether you're setting up a trust, opening a crypto wallet, or preparing for tokenized titles, this conversation lays out a path to hold what you build with true control.If this helped you see the matrix behind money, subscribe, share with a friend, and drop a review.

Today we're diving into Canton Network with Digital Asset CEO Yuval Rooz—and why it's suddenly at the center of Wall Street's “real onchain” moment: DTCC is mapping tokenization and identifying Canton as a supported network as it moves regulated assets on-chain, while JPMorgan is bringing JPM Coin onto Canton as part of its always-on settlement push. The big takeaway: this isn't about memecoins—it's about bringing the pipes of traditional finance onchain, where quadrillions of dollars in securities activity could eventually be represented and settled through tokenized workflows, changing how collateral, liquidity, and market infrastructure work in 2026 and beyond.
Crypto prices are down, but the most important players are still building. In this week's Weekly Rollup, Ryan and David break down Coinbase's push to become a financial super app, JPMorgan's first tokenized money market fund on Ethereum, and why regulators are quietly opening the door for onchain settlement through DTCC pilots. They also unpack Solana's Firedancer finally going live, the growing fight over tokenholder rights at Aave and what Uniswap's unification proposal gets right, and why tokenization and prediction markets are advancing faster than prices suggest. ---
In this episode, Brett Winton and Lorenzo sit down with Carlos Domingo, CEO and co-founder of Securitize, to explore how blockchain infrastructure is transforming capital markets. As a pioneer in the tokenization space, Carlos unpacks what it means to issue native securities—like stocks, bonds, and credit funds—on chain and why the modernization of legacy financial systems is long overdue. Carlos details Securitize's role as a registered transfer agent and broker-dealer, their regulatory journey with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and why native tokenization (not synthetic derivatives) is essential for future growth. They discuss the promise of 24/7 trading, peer-to-peer transfers, composability with decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, and the global democratization of financial access—especially in markets underserved by traditional systems. The episode also dives into the tension between blockchain-native systems and financial incumbents, the logic behind Securitize's decision to go public via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), and the asset classes best suited for tokenization—from treasuries to public equities and beyond.Key Points From This Episode:(00:00:00) Why capital markets need a blockchain-based ledger upgrade(00:05:46) How tokenization improves global accessibility and financial user experience(00:07:35) Real-world examples: Tokenized treasury and credit funds(00:10:29) Understanding how ownership works: DTCC, transfer agents, and blockchain(00:17:08) Global appetite for tokenized stocks, following stablecoin adoption(00:18:24) Tokenizing private equity and venture capital for broader access(00:25:34) How Securitize tokenizes assets the right way—with issuer involvement(00:28:55) Regulatory clarity accelerates tokenization adoption(00:30:08) Open blockchain infrastructure unlocks composability and innovation(00:35:50) Where Securitize fits in the capital markets stack(00:37:13) Projecting tokenized assets: From $4.6B to $200B assets under management (AUM)(00:39:46) Why Securitize stays blockchain-agnostic despite protocol growth
Today's episode breaks down a landmark moment for tokenization as the Depository Trust Company receives SEC approval to begin putting US public market securities on chain. The discussion covers what the no-action letter allows, why DTCC's role matters, how this could enable 24/7 settlement and programmable assets for stocks, ETFs, and Treasuries, and why this move represents the most credible path yet toward decentralized capital markets. The episode also examines parallel developments from Coinbase, JPMorgan, and Tether, and why tokenization may transform market structure even if it doesn't immediately boost crypto token prices.
