most people quit right before things start moving and call it “bad luck”

If capital moves across ecosystems, the networks enabling those movements become increasingly important.

Hey @IamIanKane – welcome to the Cosmos team! ⚛️🚀 Huge get for the Hub 💪 Ian comes in with serious experience: • Former CEO & Co-Founder of Unbanked (fintech that connected crypto to real banking & cards) • Ex-Head of Partnerships at Midnight Network (enterprise L1) Exactly the guy we need to push tokenized deposits + institutional adoption in 2026 👀 Link: x.com/iamiankane/sta… This is how you build real value for $ATOM. Facts over FUD. $ATOM maxi approved 🔥 #Cosmos #ATOM #Tokenization

Many people are obsessed with how $ATOM captures value. I'm more interested in how Cosmos captures the world's liquidity first. Build the rails. Bring the assets. Grow the economy. Value capture comes after value creation.

Everyone is chasing TPS. The real race is trust. Liquidity, institutions, and tokenized assets won't settle where it's fastest. They'll settle where it's safest. Cosmos is quietly building for that future.

Everyone sees the upgrades. Few are asking where the value flows. If more assets, stablecoins, and liquidity move through the interchain economy, the market may eventually have to reprice $ATOM. Infrastructure matters. Value capture matters more.

The market is still valuing $ATOM as a standalone asset. Soon it may have to value it as the settlement layer of an expanding interchain economy. Big difference.

Most investors focus on apps. The biggest opportunities are often hidden in the infrastructure layer.

Extremely excited to welcome @IamIanKane as Cosmos' new Head of Partnerships 🫡 Ian comes from a deep background in finance, and started his own company. He'll be working with us to help bring the world's best institutions along with us as Cosmos reforms modern finance.

Happy to share I've joined @Cosmos as Head of Partnerships to push the next leg of tokenized deposits and tokenized assets more broadly. Below I explain why I think Cosmos is the most underrated infrastructure story in the entire tokenization race. 👇 What's your take?

The future of crypto isn't one chain dominating everything. The future is thousands of chains communicating seamlessly.

Eid al-Adha Mubarak! May your sacrifice be appreciated and your prayers be answered by Allah. 💜

People underestimate IBC because it works. No flashy marketing. No constant hype. Just value moving securely between ecosystems.

Cosmos solved chain sovereignty long before it became popular. Builders don't have to share blockspace. They can own their own chain.

Every new blockchain creates more fragmentation. More fragmentation creates more demand for connectivity. This is where Cosmos shines.

The market spent years chasing faster chains. Now liquidity is becoming multi-chain. Interoperability is no longer a luxury. It's a necessity.

RF 2026.1 was shipped last week and the excitement on the team is real. - Over 5x the typical performance of a Cosmos network - 2,000+ TPS sustained under real load - All stack components ship as one validated, coherent unit - Performance under load - Stability, and auditability - Governance controls Watch Cosmos Stack Engineering Manager Alex Johnson @cozartshmoopler walk through the full picture:

The regulatory picture for tokenized deposits in the US has shifted considerably in the past 18 months. - The FDIC withdrew its restrictive guidance and began developing supervisory frameworks for tokenized deposits. - The OCC confirmed that tokenization of bank liabilities is a permissible activity for national banks. - Congress passed the GENIUS Act, which established a federal framework for payment of stablecoins and drew a clear legal boundary between stablecoins and tokenized deposits. - State regulators are fielding inquiries from chartered banks exploring deposit tokenization, mostly through consortium models. - The Conference of State Bank Supervisors has called for unified federal-state guidance on KYC/AML, smart contract enforceability, and liquidity risk management for always-on redemption. All these changes raise the next question for any team evaluating their next move: does your infrastructure platform deliver the cybersecurity, access control, and interoperability that institutional-scale tokenized assets require? That's the layer Cosmos works on. We can give banks the control, resiliency, and connectivity to issue and move tokenized deposits at institutional scale.

Choosing digital ledger infrastructure means satisfying engineering, compliance, and operational requirements all at once. We compared Cosmos and Hyperledger Besu across architecture, performance, interoperability, and more. Read the article here: cosmos.network/blog/cosmos-vs…

Cosmos Ledger includes a feature that allows banks and enterprises to run their own Cosmos ledger with minimal infrastructure. Matthew Matuszak, VP of Operations, and Alex Johnson @cozartshmoopler, Cosmos Stack Engineering Manager, explain the benefits of this setup:

Most people still think Cosmos is competing with Ethereum, Solana, and Base. It's not. Cosmos is building the infrastructure that connects them all.
