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
Bitcoin faces one of its most critical moments yet. The crypto market is reeling as Bitcoin ETFs sink underwater, creating a $100 billion liquidity crunch not seen since FTX. Analysts warn that many new crypto ETFs could face liquidation just months after launch, even as the SEC opens the door to hundreds more under new listing rules. Meanwhile, Grayscale predicts 2026 will mark the dawn of crypto's institutional era & DTCC begins tokenizing U.S. Treasuries.
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.

Seth Hertlein is the Global Head of Policy at Ledger and one of the earliest, most persistent advocates for bitcoin self-custody in Washington. Known for his “lone ranger” years as the only lobbyist focused on protecting non-custodial rights, he brings a rare combination of securities law expertise, political insight, and deep conviction about individual property rights. In this episode, Seth joins The Last Free Americans to share how he fell down the bitcoin rabbit hole, why self-custody is a return to humanity's oldest property norms, and how today's policy battles will define digital freedom for generations. We dig into the evolution of financial intermediaries, the history of natural rights from Aristotle to the framers, and the real political forces lining up for and against self-custody.SUPPORT THE PODCAST:→ Subscribe → Leave a review → Share the show with your friends and family → Send us an email: podcast@unchained.com→ Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast → Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcastTIMESTAMPS:0:00 – Intro to The Last Free Americans & Seth's unique role in policy2:20 – How a securities regulator became an “accidental crypto lobbyist”5:03 – Early bitcoin reading, monetary policy, and recognizing its political nature7:43 – The aha moment of self-custody: from Ledger device to first withdrawal12:58 – Ownership vs. possession: how financial markets drifted into full intermediation16:40 – Why self-custody is not new: property as a natural human right22:45 – How centralization overtook markets: certificates, DTCC, and efficiency tradeoffs27:58 – 2021: the year Washington and the industry “woke up” to each other33:10 – Keep Your Coins Act, Canadian truckers, and why lawful peer-to-peer matters38:40 – Property rights, natural law, and the framers' blind spots on privacy45:55 – Executive Order 6102, takings law, and lessons for bitcoin52:03 – How the Bank Secrecy Act and third-party doctrine became digital surveillance59:42 – The three camps opposing self-custody: nats-ec hawks, socialists, and bureaucracies1:05:40 – The IRS broker rule, CRA repeal, and precedents for stopping overreach1:11:22 – House vs. Senate language: what “retain the right” really means1:17:14 – Odds of passage in 2024 and why Senate floor time is everything1:22:44 – The global landscape: why America is still the last best hope1:27:50 – What comes next: privacy as the next digital freedom frontier1:32:10 – Closing thoughts on restoring founding principles through BitcoinWHERE TO FOLLOW US: → Unchained X: https://x.com/unchained → Unchained LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unchainedcom → Unchained Newsletter: https://unchained.com/newsletter → Joe Kelly's Twitter: https://x.com/josephkelly → Seth Hertlein's Twitter: https://x.com/SethHertlein

Send us fan responses! The door cracks open on a quiet clubhouse and suddenly a bigger world appears: private communities building their own credit power, furnishing their own data, and charting a path to a community-owned bank. We walk you through the rooms where the paperwork becomes practice, where mentors with deep experience show how bonds, notes, and trust units get recognized by the systems that matter—Bloomberg, DTCC, Euroclear, Clearstream—and why that recognition turns private agreements into real leverage.We break down the role of a data furnisher in plain language and connect it to a practical plan: reporting instrument details and payment performance so custodians and investors can verify authenticity, price risk, and rate your instruments. That's the difference between hoping a lender believes you and presenting a documented track record for your trust, ministry, or enterprise. Along the way, we talk about what it takes to issue securities, the basics of trust and contract law, and how families, churches, and ministries securitize agreements to build durable access to capital.You'll also hear where the momentum is headed: investor commitments, milestones toward licensure, and live meetings in Atlanta designed to show the framework up close. No hype, just the playbook—how to create data that institutions respect, how to move from private order to public credibility, and how communities can step into real ownership of their financial narrative.If this sparks something, join us.

David and Kyle discuss efficiency and the process of replacing legacy policy administration systems, consolidating workflows, and distribution management tools. They explain how the company adapted operations to keep projects moving, focusing on small empowered teams and quick wins. Throughout the discussion, they highlight the importance of balancing between innovation and stability, preparing for long-term scalability, and aligning digital initiatives with brand and financial strength. Key Takeaways: Data integration was pivotal, turning the new admin system into a hub for DTCC and distribution management that streamlined hierarchies and reduced manual work. Focused decision-making accelerated progress. Empowering small teams and quick wins were essential in sustaining momentum for multi-year modernization projects. Clear MVP focus reduced risk. By concentrating on the functions needed to issue contracts at launch and deferring “nice-to-haves,” RSL kept scope tight, minimized fatigue, and ensured a timely go-live.

"It's that old saying, right? It's that meme. It's like, however bad you think it is, it's going to get worse, right? But at the same time, it's also going to get better.So be very bearish on fiat. Be very bullish on Bitcoin. This system, it's going to get worse. The collateral problem and the fail to deliver problem is going to get worse. Your shares that you own in brokerage aren't really yours. They're held by the broker. They're held at the DTCC. They can freeze them whenever they want. They can create fake shares whenever they want. They can fail to deliver. They can naked short. They can manipulate with derivatives, all these sorts of things. And really the only financial asset that you can truly own is Bitcoin."~ Peruvian Bull In this episode, I sit down with Peruvian Bull for a deep dive into the fragility of our financial system. From Japan's zombified economy to the slow-motion collapse of the U.S. dollar, we peel back the illusions of stability that most people take for granted. Why does the debt machine always accelerate? What if your stocks aren't really yours? And how does Bitcoin fit as the inevitable escape hatch?We dig into the GameStop saga, the “great taking” of securities, stealth QE, the carry trade, and why debt — not retail payments — may be the problem Bitcoin is destined to solve first. Along the way, we explore what happens when central banks kick the can “up the stairs,” why Japan's story is a glimpse of our own future, and how individuals can prepare themselves before the next inning begins.This one is a rich discussion for anyone trying to make sense of late-stage fiat, the dollar endgame, and the hope that Bitcoin offers.

In this episode, host Olivier Lafontaine sits down with Yolanda Austin, Senior Director of the Life & Annuity Program at ACORD, to talk about the organization's role in building smarter, standardized systems for life insurance. Yolanda breaks down how ACORD is addressing inefficiencies in medical underwriting by creating digital formats for electronic health records. She also walks through the work behind ACORD's standardized life insurance application, which was developed with input from distributors, carriers, and the Interstate Insurance Compact. And now, it is being adopted across the industry. As the conversation unfolds, it's clear that progress in this space doesn't come from technology alone, but through thoughtful coordination and collaboration across all parts of the ecosystem. Key Takeaways: Standardization only works when carriers, distributors, and regulators build it together. Reducing redundant and non-relevant data improves efficiency and unlocks smarter underwriting decisions. Creating digital forms that create good experiences requires both technology and behavioral science expertise.

Trump's Weekend and the Gold Rush: Unpacking the Latest Developments Join Jeffrey and Shannon on the MG Show for a hard-hitting episode breaking down the week's biggest stories with a constitutionalist, America First lens. On February 17, 2025, we dive into President Trump's high-octane Daytona 500 appearance on Sunday, waving the green flag for his supporters. The spotlight then shifts to Fort Knox, where a potential $425 billion gold audit—pushed by DOGE's Elon Musk and Senator Rand Paul—could shake up the narrative, revisiting Trump 1.0's 2017 review. We unpack the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) digging into DOD's shadowy PSyop funding and expose how bots are weaponizing Intel Group agendas online. Three years after we first covered it, Jab Holding resurfaces in Republican data feeds—familiar territory for anons.
