EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with Mamadou Kwidjim Toure, co-founder of U-Tribe and GIFT (Gold International Fungible Token), to explore one of the most ambitious real-world asset projects I've come across. Mamadou spent decades in banking and early-stage investing across Africa , including in the first GSM projects and mobile payments before M-Pesa , and he turned that experience into a mission: giving anyone on earth access to physical, one-to-one backed gold from as little as 15 cents. We talk about why central banks are quietly buying more physical gold than at any point in the past 40 years, why the gold ETF market is dangerously over-encumbered, and how GIFT's MiCA-regulated token could become the financial safety net for 2.5 billion people across 35 countries. Mamadou also walks me through their quantum-enhanced wallet, their Ubuntu Academy for financial and digital literacy, and their upcoming STO launching in July. This one is packed with insight on the real shift happening in global finance right now. DISCLAIMERNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

Samed Düzçay is the Founder of Tori.DeFi yields often collapse in bear markets because they recycle crypto-native capital. But Tori generates yield from somewhere else entirely.In this episode, Sam explains how Tori brings institutional FX carry trades onchain, borrowing in low-rate currencies, lending in high-rate emerging market currencies, and hedging the FX exposure fully back to USD. The spread that remains after hedging is 8-15% yield, generated from real economic activity in global money markets, completely uncorrelated with crypto cycles. Tori is expected to launch in May so we're getting a jumpstart with this episode of DeFi Frontier to learn more.------
I sat down with Mitch from Steelwave at BTC Vegas to explore how one of the West Coast's most established real estate developers is bringing institutional-grade assets onto the blockchain. Steelwave has done over $24 billion in acquisitions, building campus-style properties for tenants like Google and Anduril — and now Mitch is on a mission to give international family offices and eventually everyday investors access to deals they were previously locked out of. We talk about the tokenization roadmap, why power is the single most valuable commodity in real estate right now, how AI companies are driving 20 million square feet of lease demand in Silicon Valley, and why the next generation SPV could be a global syndicate of investors from China, Africa, and Australia all coming together on a single deal. This one gets into the real mechanics of how private real estate becomes liquid — and why the window to act is right now.

Your brain is lying to you about God - and the consequences are devastating. In this episode, we explore the deeply human psychological habit of “tokenizing” - reducing complex realities to simple mental shortcuts - and reveals how we inevitably do this with God, collapsing the infinite Divine into a neat little package of doctrine, denomination, and politics that fits comfortably in our minds. But that comfort comes at a terrible cost: it locks us into a distorted, shrunken picture of God, turns us against anyone whose “tokens” differ from ours, and has even been used to justify violence, oppression, and the idolization of political figures. Drawing on Scripture, psychology, and his own journey of deconstruction, we make a compelling case that God has always resisted being boxed in - and invites us to the terrifying, exhilarating freedom of encountering a God too wild and vast to be contained by any label.This is also posted in video format at https://youtu.be/8DPVnnOcqJ0

Tokenizing an asset doesn't automatically make it liquid. After 14 years at the London Stock Exchange, KuCoin EU's Managing Director Sabina Liu has a reality check for crypto's RWA hype cycle.Sabina joins Alexander Richardson at Paris Blockchain Week 2026 to talk through what she actually saw in digital assets that TradFi missed, where tokenization genuinely solves a problem (and where it doesn't), how MiCA has reshaped Europe's exchange landscape, and why KuCoin EU runs as a broker — not an order book — under the new regulation.We cover:- Why tokenization alone doesn't create liquidity or demand- What TradFi still does really well — and why not everything needs to be on-chain- How MiCA has reshaped the European exchange playbook- Why KuCoin EU operates as a broker, not an exchange- France's role in Europe's institutional crypto landscape- Where the real bridge between TradFi and digital assets gets builtFilmed at Paris Blockchain Week 2026.Host: Alexander Richardson

The global oil market still runs on a horribly fragmented system where physical barrels, paper contracts, and financial settlement operate in parallel but disconnected layers. Transactions are dependent on manual processes, emails, PDFs, and handshake relationships built over decades. For a trillion dollar industry, the core trading infrastructure remains slow, opaque, and largely inaccessible for all but the largest players. This creates real operational and financial constraints. Settlement delays can stretch to 90 days, tying up working capital and exposing companies to liquidity risk. Market access is hobbled by lengthy know-your-customer processes and high barriers to entry. Here in the spring of 2026, with the Strait of Hormuz blocked, these inefficiencies add up to systemic challenges that will make eventual recovery much harder than it needs to be. It's time for a new approach, one that digitizes the physical barrel itself. By tokenizing crude oil into smaller, tradable units, markets can accelerate settlement, improve transparency, and broaden participation. Imagine a token that represents a real, physical quantity of oil, enabling traceability across the supply chain and creating a new layer of market visibility. This also opens the door to fractional ownership and new forms of capital access that were previously unavailable. In this episode, I am speaking with Baron Lamarre, co-founder of INDEX, the International Digital Exchange, about how tokenization could fundamentally reshape oil trading. We explore the inefficiencies of today's system, the mechanics of turning barrels into digital assets, and why this shift could materially improve cash flow, transparency, and market access across the energy sector.
Ellis Osborn and Kevin Li are CoFounders of Saturn.This is the first episode in a new series by The Edge Podcast covering emerging DeFi builders. Ellis and Kevin break down how Saturn tokenizes STRC via two onchain assets, USDat and sUSDat. Michael Saylor and his team at Strategy built STRC to pay an 11.5% yield backed by Bitcoin. Saturn is building the DeFi layer on top of this STRC yield.We learn how Saturn's tokenized yield unlocks global access to STRC, higher leverage through the likes of Morpho, yield trading on Pendle, and risk tranching soon through Strata. They share more on why Saylor himself is so excited for what Saturn is working on to distribute STRC yield on Ethereum. We cover why digital credit might be superior to private credit, and how STRC could become "the risk-free rate of onchain finance."------
In this episode, we step back from the macro noise and focus on the biggest crypto stories of the week: (03:11 - 05:18) Why tokenization, stablecoins, AI agents, and onchain commerce are emerging as core crypto infrastructure themes. Plus, Coinbase Asset Management's tokenized bitcoin yield fund on Base and what it says about institutional demand for compliant onchain products. (05:18 - 08:51) Why Hyperliquid's launch of an S&P 500 perpetual matters beyond a single product: the significance of securing an official S&P license, why this helps validate Hyperliquid as more than a crypto-only venue, and how it could set a precedent for more licensed benchmark exposure to move onchain. (08:51 - 18:58) Breaking down the new SEC-CFTC digital commodity taxonomy: how it reduces legal ambiguity, why that matters for institutional allocation, and why it may benefit altcoins (18:58 - 26:21) Ethereum's emerging supply sink: why BlackRock's staked ETH ETF changes the demand story, how staking and treasury holdings are reducing ETH's tradable float, and why that could become increasingly important for Ethereum's long-run supply-demand profileSpeakers: David Duong, CFA - Global Head of Investment Research (X: DavidDuong) Colin Basco - Research Associate (X: colin_basco) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What happens when the institution at the center of U.S. market plumbing starts putting securities onchain?In this episode of The Defiant, Chris Storaker sits down with Tom Sullivan, Managing Director at DTCC Digital Assets, to discuss how DTCC is approaching tokenization, why regulatory clarity changed the game, and what it means for U.S. Treasuries, stocks, ETFs, collateral, and 24/7 markets.Tom explains DTCC's role as the trusted infrastructure behind much of the U.S. securities market, why blockchain has become a real infrastructure priority, and how tokenized assets could improve collateral mobility, settlement efficiency, and capital efficiency across global markets.They also cover:why SEC clarity was a major unlockwhat exactly DTCC is tokenizinghow tokenized assets will retain full legal and economic rightswhy collateral is one of the biggest near-term use caseshow DTCC sees interoperability, appchains, and a multi-ledger futurewhat success looks like for the Q3 rollout and beyondIf tokenization is moving from experiment to market infrastructure, this conversation shows what that looks like from the inside.
I sat down with Adebola from the Tezos Foundation at ETH Denver to explore what's new in the Tezos ecosystem.

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.

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
