STORM Partners

Over the past 5 years, @STORM_Partners, alongside the blockchain industry, has made significant progress. Time has flown by, and the world continues to change exponentially ⚡️ #Web3 is no longer just about launching tokens. #DigitalAssets are now built to scale, endure, and attract capital. This brand evolution reflects that shift. From supporting projects to enabling the architecture of scalable asset classes. Our core advisory functions must also evolve to fit that vision. 🔸 Strategy & Growth Turning vision into market reality. 🔸 Legal & Resilience Ensuring structures hold under pressure. Because in this market: Growth without structure is fragile. Structure without growth is limiting. The future belongs to those who can do both 🤝 At the intersection of growth and resilience, we operate where value is created, protected, and scaled. Where strategy and structure converge, value becomes scalable. Through Mergers & Acquisitions and Institutional Adoption, we integrate our main capabilities to deliver greater value to our clients and partners for the future of our industry. Thank you for being a part of our journey. More to follow, it’s just the beginning! Keep an eye out. New website coming soon… 👀

STORM Partners has submitted a formal comment letter to the @SECGov in response to its new guidance on the application of federal securities laws to certain crypto assets and crypto asset transactions. We welcome the SEC’s guidance as a meaningful step toward greater legal clarity, particularly its distinction between the legal status of a crypto asset itself and the status of a specific offer, sale, or transaction involving that asset. At the same time, several important areas remain uncertain. Our submission focuses on one of them: how the securities-law analysis should apply when token ecosystems evolve over time and introduce, modify, decentralize, or remove mechanisms such as protocol fee burns, buyback-and-burn programs, staking rewards, revenue distributions, or other forms of direct or indirect value accrual. Our key point is that not every tokenomic mechanism that affects token value should be treated as securities-like. A clear distinction should be drawn between issuer-backed profit or revenue rights, which raise serious securities-law concerns, and transparent, protocol-native, non-discretionary mechanisms that arise from the operation of a functional decentralized system. Legal clarity on this point is essential for responsible token design, investor protection, and the continued development of compliant crypto infrastructure. Submitted by Dr. Iur. @nicola_massella, alongside the Legal & Resilience Dept. of STORM Partners The full letter is publicly available on the SEC website.

Yesterday at Digital Days Geneva, @nicola_massella , our Legal Partner at @STORM_Partners, joined a panel hosted by SPHERE The Swiss Financial Arena, alongside Romain Braud of Arab Bank Switzerland, with Tatiana Topp of MyBerry moderating. The conversation tackled a simple but important question: are banks and financial institutions really keeping up with blockchain and digital assets? The honest answer is that most are behind. A few are not. US institutions have moved fast since the regulatory shift, with Nasdaq and Citadel Securities closing a gap that looked insurmountable two years ago. J.P. Morgan's Kinexys sits well ahead of most banking peers, while players like UBS remain in early stages. One of the clearest takeaways from the panel was that early institutional adopters are not just experimenting, they are building an advantage. As the gap widens between those integrating digital assets proactively and those still waiting on the sidelines, the commercial consequences are becoming harder to ignore. Thank you to Sphere for the invitation and to Tatiana and Romain for a sharp and candid conversation 🤝

STORM Partners is heading to Paris this week 🇫🇷 Europe's leading institutional digital asset event, @ParisBlockWeek, takes place at the Carrousel du Louvre. The event attracts over 10,000 attendees, with more than 70% being C-level executives. The theme this year is where institutions and digital assets finally meet. Here's the full breakdown of where to find us 🧵

Last week at @EthCC, we hosted a boxing workout at the iconic Carlton Cannes, alongside @PyraTzLabs. No slides, no small talk. Just coach Redouane Asloum (Athens 2004 Olympian), 20+ founders and builders, and gloves on🥊 Some of the best conversations of the week happened between rounds. We often say the best discussions aren’t held in a meeting room, and this proves it. Apparently, they occur when you're dodging punches. Thank you to our partner and to everyone who showed up ready to move. Heading to @ParisBlockWeek next? Catch us at Booth 2B on Wednesday afternoon⚡ #EthCC #Web3 #DigitalAssets
