Digital Asset Summit 2026

This is my quant (actually).

This week the future of curation was announced

at @blockworksDAS in Singapore, we announced @hare_xyz that is coming to market by GSR and Turtle.

on the stage we had:
> @SuperChad15 from Turtle
> @KunzAlain from GSR
> @connorbmilner from Hare

launch partners, media and friends shared it all over the timeline, and since then we've had inbound from every corner of the market wanting to get involved.

this is just the starting point, a lot more to share over the next few months

A familiar story. Being counted out until it becomes impossible to ignore.

This year, London has its comeback story.

With all roads leading to @SolanaEvents, @blockworksDAS, and @Zebu_live

Finance shouldn’t feel fragmented.

Users want one seamless experience across digital assets, stablecoins, fiat, tokenized securities and yield products - all in one trusted place.

📍 Digital Asset Summit

We'll be on the ground at @blockworksDAS London 🎡

Curious what you're working on and where infra is holding you back!

One of the standout events during TOKEN2049 week was @blockworksDAS, bringing together institutional leaders, financial institutions, and some of Singapore’s largest banks, including OCBC, to discuss the future of digital finance.

@bm_allan_ represented Rayls at the summit, where the focus was on how institutions can move beyond exploring digital assets and start integrating them into real financial markets.

That requires infrastructure built around the realities of institutional finance: privacy, compliance, control, and access to broader onchain liquidity.

Rayls is built to meet these requirements, combining private blockchain networks for regulated institutions with a public chain that connects them to the wider digital asset ecosystem.

With Rayls already operating in production with tier-1 banks in Brazil, we’re bringing that experience to the global institutional conversation.

Stay tuned 🚊

This is my other quant (real).

Silvio gives a sneak peak into something we’ve been working on internally all year.

More on this soon.

"Trillions will be tokenized" is easy to say.

It's not even far-fetched, but few can tell you what it takes.

@joshuacheong at @blockworksDAS with top leaders from @HyperliquidX, @AlpacaHQ, and more on what scales tokenized assets from billions to trillions:

→ Today's funding model behind tokenized products caps how many real assets come onchain, and how fast.
→ User demand changes that, with leveraged RWA exposure bringing more onchain liquidity that funds new issuance.
→ Better infrastructure drives capital costs down to meet rising user demand, powering the next phase of growth.

When the two converge, trillions will follow, and Mantle is the infrastructure they'll run on.

The market is growing. Asset managers are ready to tokenize, and the $300B of stablecoins sitting with depositors will unlock the next phase of onchain yield.

@HHorsley on stage at @blockworksDAS discussing RWAs, vaults, and the pursuit of onchain yield.

DAS Asia 2026 is in the books!

Thank you to all the sponsors, attendees, and speakers who brought the inaugural DAS Asia to life

from a scientific point of view, risk is a quantitative probability and every decision we make is a part of those probabilities. listen to my talk on which decisions risk curators make in defi lending @Blockworks @blockworksDAS

“Illiquid asset tokenization is the holy grail.”

@DTAPCAP made two points at @blockworksDAS that I’ve been thinking about.

First, his view that US debt looks less alarming when you consider the asset side of the balance sheet too. A useful counter to the headline number.

Second, the opportunity in tokenizing illiquid assets. That resonates deeply with why we are building OneAsset.

Treasuries and listed equities already have established markets. Commercial real estate is different. It’s still hard to access, transfer and finance.

Tokenization and DeFi can make those markets more connected, from ownership and income distribution to compliant secondary transfers and, eventually, collateral.

But putting an asset onchain doesn’t create liquidity by itself. You still need good assets, enforceable rights, transparency and real buyers and sellers.

That’s the opportunity we’re working on at OneAsset.

DAS ASIA: Balancing Privacy vs Transparency in Onchain Finance was a banger. Crowd was nuts.

Keone from Monad @keoneHD
Zach from Grayscale @LowBeta

Moderated by @robbiek__

TLDR: there’s not one size fits all for privacy. That’s why Zenith provides full optionality on deployment structures:

a. Open public permissionless
b. Open public permissioned
c. Private permissioned isolated
d. Private permissioned multi-party

Q2 pilots for privacy-enabled EVM optionality on public permissionless.

Zth.

Check out our Chief Business Officer, @thomasxchen, talking all things equities, RWAs and the future at @blockworksDAS 👇

Most privacy solutions in blockchain have one thing in common: they throw composability out. Almost everything built around privacy considers it an afterthought, and that's precisely the design flaw Zenith was built to avoid.

@HeslinKim made that case on the Privacy vs. Transparency panel at DAS Asia 2026 yesterday alongside @wesarn_real from Digital Asset, @keoneHD from Monad, @LowBeta from Grayscale, moderated by @robbiek__

The panel covered the full landscape of privacy approaches, but the Zenith-specific moments are especially the ones worth going back to.

> (8:39) Threading the needle between Ethereum and Canton: connecting DeFi's mature ecosystem to Canton's institutional infrastructure natively
> (23:02) What Zenith actually built: the first non-EVM L1 with atomic EVM settlement, co-architected with Digital Asset's CPO Bernard Elsner
> (24:27) Deployment to Canton's Global Synchronizer: deterministic EVM state settlement in Solidity, targeting November
> (29:39) Zenith as a stack: public permissionless, private permission isolated, and private multi-party, customers choose their privacy tier
> (31:39) The shielded/unshielded workflow: move assets from open DeFi into Canton's selective disclosure layer for institutional compliance, then back out

🎬 JTX announces JTX Equities during Digital Asset Summit 2026

@JitoFDN president, @brian_smith_0 announced JTX Equities launch and professional grade data into equity trading experience on JTX, coming to the public by the end of october.

"so actually extremely excited to announce today JTX Equities, this is the new product that makes equities on chain a first class citizen it is something with proprietary RFQs into all of the leading tokenized issuer providers so that you get best execution in real fills on your equity trades including an RFQ into @backpack which has truly redeemable equity products

this is designed for not just buying a few thousand dollars of some equity, this supports six figure, seven figure trades at prices comparable to what you would get on the underlying exchange comparable to what you get in Robinhood or interactive brokers.

this is the first of its kind thing and it's not just restricted to a few mega cap US equities, this is hundreds of equities around the world that you get access to. it's launching permissionless to the public in the end of october."

为什么 Kamino 持续引入（与加密行情）非相关性收益资产和市场？

在@blockworksDAS 上， @cheryldchan 回应道：

这并不是我们单方面的选择，而是需求牵引的结果。华尔街机构正在把链上当作分发渠道，以 @FigureMarkets 为例，从 @provenancefdn 起步，如今已通过代币化把美国房贷、车贷等资产敞口开放给不同地域的普通用户。

机构也在向链上借款，但他们更习惯抵押品放在合格托管（Qualified Custody）中，而非完全链上。

机构上链的方式多种多样，@Kamino 正在用不同的产品去接住这些真实需求。
