1/ As the crypto bull market accelerates, builders, investors, and enjoyoors face a crucial question: what blockchain architecture will fuel the next wave of innovation? The answer is clear—purpose-built blockchains on @avax will lead the way. Here’s why. 👇 🔗 Full deep dive: @ovwoude/swiss-army-knives-vs-scalpels-why-you-should-build-a-purpose-built-l1-on-avalanche-dc9c18889cdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@ovwoude/swiss…

@Nik_Quinn did Christmas arrive early !!

No need for any more cold emails!! I am not an investor (so no biases) but am a huge fan of metal.so. It shows founders who's actively investing in your space, at your stage and who is the best to speak to. They have ~170k investors in their database and also map the warm intro path (maybe most important!). This is how fundraising should work.

Agree + would add to this that mobility’s value is capped by legal finality of a claim… collateral is as mobile as the worst case enforceability of the lien across jurisdictions…. For ex., a tokenized tbill fund moving as margin b/t a US prime broker + an asia-based venue still has to answer: whose bankruptcy regime governs // does the onchain transfer constitute perfected legal title transfer? until that’s clean, “mobility” isn’t lifechanging collateral transformation

I think the killer app of tokenization might be collateral mobility For maximal global distribution synthetic products could be more appealing than tokenized spot

Technology Built for Business means something different to everyone building on it. For FIFA, NBA, and Watford FC — built for sports. For BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and Apollo — built for finance. For Axiym and LuLuFin — built for payments. For Broadridge and Securitize — built for markets. For Bergen County and Wyoming — built for government. For Off The Grid and MapleStory — built for gaming. For HotEmin — built for community. One platform. Every industry. Avalanche. Technology Built for Business. 🔺

@CoinMarketCap That’s why @AvaLabs acquired etrapay in 2024 + launched @avax privacy solutions!

LATEST: 💰 Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan says privacy could become crypto's next killer app as Arc, Canton and Tempo raise more than $1B combined at valuations above $10B.

@stacy_muur @iEx_ec @AvaCloud privaxy solutions! @AvaLabs acquired etrapay in 2024 (privacy focused, formulated encrypted erc “eerc” token standard for privacy)

Privacy is finally being taken seriously this year. Every major primitive (ZK, FHE, MPC, TEE) shipped a real working product in the last 5 months. The 2026 Privacy Landscape ↓ TEE • @iEx_ec: Building TEE-based confidential computing since 2017. Shipped Confidential Token, turning any ERC20 into a confidential & auditable asset, along with Confidential Vault on Arbitrum Sepolia, a plug-in tool for onchain vaults to keep balances, LP positions, and strategies hidden. • @PhalaNetwork: TEE network purpose-built for confidential AI agents. Powers private inference and agent workloads with attested execution off-chain. • @OasisProtocol: First confidential EVM through its Sapphire runtime. Brings programmable privacy to standard Solidity, no new language required. ZK • @aztecnetwork: Alpha Network went live on March 31, 2026, the first Ethereum L2 with fully private smart contracts. Built around Noir, with client-side proving and dual public/private state. • @RAILGUN_Project: Private and bridgeless DeFi using ZK proofs to shield balances and transactions. Integrates directly with major protocols, no wrapping required. • @AleoHQ: First private programmable L1, built around offchain ZK execution with onchain verification. Designed for apps where the entire computation stays private by default. • @namada: IBC-first shielded asset hub, with multichain expansion. It acts as a shared anonymity set for assets bridged from any connected chain. FHE • @zama: FHE tooling infra powering most encrypted compute on EVM today. GSR completed the first confidential OTC trade on Zama in March 2026. • @fhenix: Encrypted computation rollup built on Zama's stack, bringing fully homomorphic privacy to L2 scale. • @inconetwork: Full-stack privacy layer combining FHE with cross-chain modularity, offering confidential compute as a service to connected chains. MPC • @nillion: Decentralised blind compute network for private data and AI inference. Migrated to Ethereum in Jan 2026. for deeper composability with the EVM stack. • @Arcium: MPC-based encrypted supercomputer. Mainnet Alpha live on Solana with 25+ projects actively building. • @LitProtocol: Decentralized key management network for programmable signing and encryption. Did I miss anything?

@turnkeyhq @circle_ventures @archetypevc @BainCapCrypto @FactionVC @galaxyhq @sequoia @variantfund Congrats!!

Thrilled to announce a $12.5M strategic investment to meet accelerating demand for crypto wallets and verifiable computing. With participation from @circle_ventures, @archetypevc, and existing investors @BainCapCrypto, @FactionVC, @galaxyhq, @sequoia, and @variantfund.

the stablecoin-based payroll flip is underrated global remote-work platforms moving to stablecoin payroll as the default is a step-change in tokenized dollar velocity, + it doesn't depend on any new user behavior: people just get paid

embedded finance means financial products stop being a destination a neobank shouldn't send users to 1 app for equities, another for remittances, a 3rd for savings it should exist under 1 brand, front-end, & balance

the most expensive problem in cross-border payments isn't fees but the pre-funding trap: millions sitting idle in destination countries just to move money stablecoin-based settlement compresses that 70–90% + achieves capital efficiency

Composability does the work that integration usually has to a tokenized equity collateralizes a tokenized loan, a tokenized mmf settles a card transaction the magic isn't any single product being tokenized: it's that they compose

the "tokenize everything" framing is wrong: tokenizing a US checking account for a US user changes little vs. tokenizing dollar access for a saver in Buenos Aires changes everything the question is always: what's the true user benefit?

A fintech in Lagos can now ship an institutional-grade product shelf: tokenized dollars, yield, equities, credit... in weeks vs. decades... and serve users no global bank will ever profitably reach...

The job of tokenization is to be invisible a freelancer in Manila earning yield on USDC shouldn't know they're holding a tokenized Treasury fund settling on a blockchain they should just know they can earn x% on dollars.... make infra disappear, & the product gets obvious

fintechs spent 10+ years unbundling UX: instant onboarding, lower fees, mobile-first, etc. but the product shelf stayed thin as many products they wanted to ship sat behind a slew of operational moats.... tokenization is what finally crosses those moats

Embedded finance put financial products inside apps Tokenization is what makes them fit

@Jon_A_Espinosa @keyrock Congrats!!!

Three years in tokenized securities. Now, RWA liquidity. I've joined @keyrock to lead its expansion into the Americas. Keyrock provides liquidity that makes tokenized assets easier to trade, bridging the gap between on-chain and traditional markets where banking rails, currency constraints, and settlement times still slow things down. Keyrock has spent nearly a decade building one of the strongest reputations in digital asset liquidity across Europe. 85+ trading venues and deep options expertise. Leaving @Securitize was not easy. Thank you to @carlosdomingo and the entire team for giving me the opportunity to grow distribution across tokenized products from @BlackRock , @apolloglobal, @hamilton_lane , and @vaneck_us , from the early stages through BUIDL becoming the largest tokenized fund in the world. Even though these assets exist on-chain, most of them still don't trade the way they should. Keyrock is working on that, building real, 24/7 liquidity for RWA markets. Excited to be doing this alongside @kevindepatoul and @gchatain1. If you're building in the tokenized asset space, I'd love to connect.

Live from @SALTConference at the @DigitalFinForum in Bermuda Day 2, hosted by our friends @PartnersPenrose. A very intimate event with high quality attendees. The week hasn't slowed down. Bermuda's Premier is joining us live to talk about building the world's first onchain national economy. Today's lineup: @rajachak75 - @StellarOrg @banamlas - @plumenetwork David Burt - @BermudaPremier @TeanaTaylor - @AskVenice @mikejcasey - @aai_society @SmartestBeta - @CoinbaseAM @philippzentner - @lifiprotocol @Cryptoreine - @avalabs See you on the show.

@EleanorTerrett @BillyKlips @rajachak75 @Lynq_Network @DigitalFinForum Superstar moderator!!

One of the reasons I like moderating at conferences is that I always end up learning so much about parts of the industry I don’t normally focus on. And somehow I always get paired with the fun people. 😆 @BillyKlips @rajachak75 @cryptoreine @Lynq_Network @DigitalFinForum
