Innovation is not just about the technology. It is also about how it's communicated. In this clip from the Texas Block-Cast, @JDSmeltzer from @GrayReedLaw breaks down why precision in language was the defining factor in securing their landmark SEC No-Action letter. As digital assets move into real-world applications, from housing to payments, how a product is framed can determine how it is regulated. youtu.be/eCI-L3FGqHk?si…

Rent is no longer just an expense. It is becoming part of a broader shift in how digital assets are entering everyday industries. In this clip from the Texas Block-Cast, we highlight how @MegPrimePay is bringing blockchain into the housing market with a model designed to turn rent into a pathway toward ownership. Through its rent-back program, users can earn up to 20% back on their payments, reframing what has traditionally been seen as “dead money” into something that builds toward long-term equity. With a formal SEC No-Action letter secured by @GrayReedLaw, this approach is not theoretical. It is a real, regulated example of how digital assets are beginning to reshape industries like real estate. youtu.be/ZBOGTl-Svfw?si…

Digital assets are steadily expanding beyond finance and into real-world industries, and this conversation is a clear example of that shift. We sat down with @GrayReedLaw partners Chris Davis and @JDSmeltzer to unpack their landmark SEC No-Action letter for @MegPrimePay, a breakthrough that sits at the intersection of digital assets and housing. @MegPrimePay is rethinking how people build equity by allowing users to earn back on rent and mortgage payments through its MP Token, bridging real estate and finance in a practical way. In this episode, we explore what it takes to secure a No-Action letter in today’s regulatory environment, how the team navigated the Howey test to position the token as a consumer utility, and what this means as digital assets continue moving into sectors like real estate, payments, and more. youtu.be/xL48mnMUnrs?si…

A huge welcome to our new and returning March STANDARD & STARTUP PARTNERS at the Texas Blockchain Council! @Inc_Salute @CroweUSA @DisruptionBank

The Kula team has been on the ground at @blockworksDAS 2026 New York this week 🇺🇸 Co-Founder Micah Yeackley sat down with Jackson Alton Hinkle (@TheStreet), while Lance Riley, Director of Investor Relations, joined discussions with the @TXblockchain_ . Across both conversations, the message was consistent: traditional finance and digital assets are moving closer together, but real progress depends on governance, accountability, and structures that work in practice. That is where Kula fits. We're building governance infrastructure for real-world assets, designed to align investors, communities, and operators around measurable impact and real value creation. This is how impact investing scales.
