ZIGChain

ZIGChain Summit 2026 - Live twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

The past two weeks have been the most significant in ZIGChain's history. On April 28 in Dubai, we brought together more than 50 partners and thousands of $ZIG community members. People came from across the world specifically to be in that room. A further 15,000 watched live. The conversations that took place there were not about what onchain finance might eventually become. They were about what it is already becoming, and what comes next. ZIG Markets was announced. EVM compatibility was confirmed. Institutional partners joined us on stage. New dApp features went live, not previewed, but operational. And still there is more to come. What ZIGChain Summit 2026 demonstrated is that the infrastructure being built here is no longer a proposition. It is already in use, and the people building alongside us, institutions, partners, and a community that continues to grow, are proof of that. We are grateful to everyone who was part of it. Let's dive in 👇 📰 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀 - ZIG Markets is live. At ZIGChain Summit 2026, Co-Founder @ARafayGadit introduced ZIG Markets, the AI-powered execution layer that connects originators, infrastructure, and distribution into one coordinated flow. The fragmentation problem in onchain finance just found its answer. - ZIGChain is going EVM-compatible. Co-Founder and CEO @brbordallo announced at the Summit that the $ZIG Wealth Management Engine is opening up to the entire Ethereum ecosystem. Broader distribution, deeper liquidity, and full DeFi interoperability. 🔹 𝗭𝗜𝗚𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 🎙️ 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝟭 - 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗔𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲: 𝗔 𝗨𝗔𝗘 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲: Omar Al Shamsie (Watermelon), Christiane El Habre (@ApexGlobalGroup), and @nameerk (MENA Fintech Association), moderated by Wajdan Gul (@squatwolf). How the UAE is aligning capital, regulation, and infrastructure to lead the global shift onchain and what that means for ecosystems like ZIGChain building here. 🔥 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝟭 - 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽𝘀 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻: @AaqibGadit and Dr. Jonathan Doerr from @disrupt_com on the venture-building playbook and how the region is designing, capitalising, and scaling startups for global impact from day one. 🎙️ 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝟮 - 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘄: Chris Richter (ADGM), Ruben Bombardi (VARA), Dr. Bhaskar Das (Apex), Ramy Soliman (Stablecoin Standard/MESA), and Serena Sebastiani (@fuzefinance), moderated by Dolly Ramaiya (Truleum Ventures). How progressive regulation turns into real capital flows, and why the UAE’s regulatory infrastructure is becoming the backbone of institutional onchain finance. 🔥 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝟮 - 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘄𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: @ARafayGadit sat down with @SaeedaJaffar, Managing Director Middle East, Pakistan and Africa at @circle. The key takeaway: the industry is entering a new phase where capital, regulation, and infrastructure are finally aligning. Stablecoins proved there is massive demand for faster, programmable, borderless capital movement. Now the focus is shifting toward the compliant infrastructure and regulatory frameworks that allow institutions to participate at scale. 🎙️ 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝟯 - 𝗧𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀: The headline panel of the Summit. Dino Ibric (@Swissquote), @Jez_Laser (@LaserDigital_), Ramana Kumar (@ADI_Foundation), Mohammad Taha (@NOIACapital), and Faisal Al Hammadi (@further Ventures), moderated by Ali Samir Oosman. The conversation was not about whether capital markets are moving onchain. That shift is already happening. It was about the infrastructure, regulatory clarity, and capital rails needed to make it work at institutional scale. The alignment in the room was clear. 🔦 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗜 - 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗱𝗔𝗽𝗽𝘀: @Ask_ORO: Public access to askoro.ai opened at the Summit. Tell it what you want, it executes onchain.

RWA vaults are live, where any qualifying asset can be deposited into structured yield strategies and remain liquid through a composable vault token. @NawaFinance: The new $USDC vault went live on ZIGChain at the Summit, bearing 15% APY. Stablecoin double digit yield, now within reach. 🔦 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗜 - 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 1- @beehiveFintech: Progress on bringing UAE SME private credit onchain shared live on stage. $1B+ deployed, DFSA-regulated, now building on ZIGChain's infrastructure to reach a much wider audience. 2- @taurus_hq: The integration enabling ZIGChain assets to be held and tokenized across Taurus' network of clients spanning 5 continents and 12 countries, presented by Managing Director Bashir Kazour. 3- @fuzefinance: Co-Founder and CEO @Moaliyusuf took the stage to discuss Fuze's vision and direction within the ZIGChain ecosystem. 4- @Zamanathq: New CEO Umair Tariq announced live on stage. 👥 Community The ZIGChain community showed up from across the world for the Summit in Dubai, and gathered again the day after for a special meetup with the team. It was a chance for the ZIGChain team to personally meet the community behind the ecosystem, the people who have been here long before the spotlight arrived. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗼𝗼𝗻 Access Granted Episode 4 drops today. @ARafayGadit, @ahm3dzig, and @phil_cp go deeper on ZIG Markets, the institutional participation at the Summit, and what it all means for $ZIG holders. Stay tuned. Nothing compounds alone. If you are riding this with us, spread it with an RT. 💙

@bull_zig intern was filming 🥲

@ZIGChain Hahahah intern needs to come up with harder questions next time… (I’ll show up on time)

$ZIG Community Access to Wealth ✅ Health ✅ Moments from our community meetup in Dubai. Wrong answer = 20 pushups

@KhubaibArshad9 as always 😉

@ZIGChain Hahahaha $ZIG community on top!

Regulatory clarity is what makes adoption at scale possible. We have believed this from day one, building infrastructure that enables wealth inclusivity and access with regulatory clarity at its core. Partnerships with @beehiveFintech and ABHI in this region are the true reflection and proof of that thesis. Nameer Khan (@nameerk), Chairman & Founding Member of MENA Fintech Association, at ZIGChain Summit 2026 on what makes institutional onchain finance viable in this region. 👇

@ARafayGadit @ahm3dzig @phil_cp intern’s all ears 🎧

Ep4 of Access Granted dropping in next week! Sat with @ahm3dzig & @phil_cp after ZIGChain summit to reflect on the massive institutional participation & what it means for the future. Went deeper on ZIG Markets & how AI is truly capturing the capital, infra & distribution in one single flow. Lots of alpha around what it means for the $ZIG holder as well 👀 Stay tuned!

When ZIG Markets was announced at the Summit, one thing became clear, people understood the vision, but reached out asking so many questions. 🎙️ Access Granted Ep. 4 is the answer. In this episode, @ARafayGadit, @ahm3dzig, and @phil_cp break down the thinking behind ZIG Markets, and why we believe the next phase of onchain finance needs infrastructure built for real distribution, real execution, and real scale. Stay tuned. More next week.

@ahm3dzig That kind of busy is the right kind 👷

Good kind of busy since the @ZIGChain Summit. Clear on what comes next. Humble about what we’ve achieved so far. Big round of applause to everyone who’s been supporting us. Colleagues, Partners, Community. You know who you are. Thank you! Nothing Compounds Alone! 💪

@ARafayGadit Back to work 🫡

Spent 4 hours today to listen to every word said on the stage once again. I think I’m more excited than ever before, the size of opportunity is in trillions. Thankyou to all the institutions and partners! Time for relentless execution & lead the onchain finance evolution.

Taurus operates across 5 continents and 12 countries, tokenizing private credit, structured products, money market funds, and commodities for clients globally. Our integration with @taurus_hq opens ZIGChain to that entire global client base, not as a future roadmap item, but as live infrastructure where assets can be custodied and tokenized today. "Our clients globally would be able to custody $ZIG tokens, ZIGChain assets that are tokenized, and will also be able to tokenize assets moving forward on ZIGChain." - Bashir Kazour, Managing Director of Taurus Watch his full take from ZIGChain Summit 2026. 👇

@DokCrypto @beehiveFintech so bullish on our community 💙

@ZIGChain @beehiveFintech These are the institutes that trust @ZIGChain team. So bullish and proud on $ZIG!

.@beehiveFintech has deployed over $1B across 2,800+ SMEs in the GCC, and has over 11 years of regulated operations. Our partnership is about more than just tokenization, it’s about tackling a bigger question: what happens when geography stops being the limit on who can access this yield? "The idea of the partnership with ZIGChain is to ensure that there is additional liquidity and the money can go to a much wider audience." - Peter Tavener, CEO and Co-Founder of Beehive See below for his full take at ZIGChain Summit 2026. 👇

@BeencoLabs Glad to have had you with us at the Summit.

Proud servicing partners for @ZIGChain over the past 5 years. While others stepped back from hosting events, ZIGChain went ahead with the summit in Dubai, that conviction matters. Looking forward to the biggest ZIGChain Summit yet in 2027. Nothing Compounds Alone.

Something shifted at ZIGChain Summit 2026. The conversation had moved past conceptual discussions. It was about how ZIGChain fits into the institutional capital stack. For years, private credit, PayFi, tokenized funds, and stablecoin settlement have moved in parallel tracks. They're starting to move together now, and the missing piece was never infrastructure. It was coordination. @ARafayGadit on what that shift means, and what comes next 👇

@ZIGChain_NG ZM 💙

ZM Habibis 💜 2025 vs 2026 Believe in something! Believe in @ZIGChain!!

@oroswap @DefAi_sage @katerinaviko Strong execution so far, good to see @oroswap scaling on ZIGChain. 👏

At the @ZIGChain Summit, co-founders @DefAi_sage and @katerinaviko took the stage to share why ORO was built, why it matters and where it is headed. In just 5 months we have processed $500M in volume and helped 70,000 users worldwide. Watch the full recap.

@NawaFinance Access the vault here: nawa.finance/vault/usdc

Stablecoin Double Digit Yields now within reach. @NawaFinance's $USDC vault is open for public access on ZIGChain, bearing 15% APY.
