Two great sessions from @IOHK_Charles and @F_ZK_Now & @wasimkhouri this week at @DigitalFinForum Bermuda 🇧🇲 An inspiring part 2 from Charles, following his original TED talk in Bermuda 12 years ago! @PartnersPenrose @SALTConference

A global view of digital asset regulation was firmly in focus yesterday at the Bermuda Digital Finance Forum, featuring CryptoUK’s Ian Taylor alongside Aqsa Zubair (@BermudaMonetary), Teresa Goody Guillen (@BelisarioLaw), Zunera Mazhar (@DigitalChamber), and Salman Banaei (@plumenetwork). The discussion highlighted how quickly the global regulatory landscape is evolving. A major theme throughout the panel was the momentum emerging from the US, where political and regulatory support for digital assets has accelerated significantly over the past two years. The conversation reflected a growing focus on developing clearer frameworks that support innovation, institutional participation, and the long-term global adoption of digital assets, while creating an environment designed to attract investment and industry growth. Bermuda also stood out as a strong example of how jurisdictions are moving beyond discussion and into implementation. Alongside its early leadership through the Digital Asset Business Act, Bermuda is now actively exploring how digital assets and stablecoin infrastructure can support payments, financial services, and broader economic activity at a national level. Discussions around embedded supervision and regulators potentially operating their own nodes further demonstrated how oversight itself may evolve as blockchain infrastructure becomes more integrated into the financial system. For the UK, the discussion reinforced the importance of government, regulators, and industry working together to develop systems and frameworks that not only protect consumers and uphold market integrity, but also support innovation, investment, and long-term growth. Maintaining internationally competitive and innovation-friendly regulation will be critical if the UK is to remain a leading global hub for digital assets, while global alignment will also play an important role as the industry continues to scale across jurisdictions. Thank you to all of the panellists for a thoughtful and engaging discussion, and a big thank you to the @DigitalFinForum team, @PartnersPenrose, and @SALTConference for inviting CryptoUK back once again this year. We’re looking forward to the final day today and already look forward to returning again next year.

Andy and the NEAR team present Premier of Bermuda with a touching gift.

Love it @DigitalFinForum!
