let me get this straight.
doge: 15B. a dog. no product. no rails. nothing.
$KTA: 88M. UAE royalty. Eric Schmidt. Visa Direct. 11M tps. actual payment infrastructure.
markets are slow. not stupid.
cold blood.
See Keetaās progress update in the post below.
Phase 1 was building.
Payment rails.
Identity.
Compliance.
Core infrastructure.
Phase 2 was expansion.
Digital fiat.
Keeta Personal.
Broader access to what was already built.
Now weāre entering Phase 3:
Partnerships and adoption.
The ASK joint venture is one of the first major initiatives highlighted under that phase.
The main point of the post is this line:
āThis is only the beginning.ā
Because when you step back and look at whatās still ahead, itās hard not to see how much is left on the roadmap.
The iOS app is expected any day.
Tokenized T-Bills are approaching.
Tokenized stocks are on the horizon.
Ty has talked about connecting web3 through a future web3 anchor.
Cross-border payment and FX capabilities continue to expand.
And then thereās ASK.
Most people focus on the commodities and payment flows.
Iām also paying attention to what happens when a group connected to one of the UAEās ruling families begins opening doors across the region.
The partnership itself is significant.
But Iām just as interested in what comes after.
Access creates opportunities.
Opportunities attract businesses, institutions, and capital.
Thatās how ecosystems grow.
The Keeta team continues to ship.
And based on their own roadmap, theyāre telling us weāre still early.
Onward we go.
@KeetaNetwork keeta:native
Iāve spent a lot of time over the last 24 hours digging into the ASK partnership.
The more I read, the bigger this thing looks.
First, this isnāt just a partnership.
Itās a joint venture.
Thereās a huge difference.
A partnership is two companies agreeing to work together.
A joint venture is both sides putting skin in the game and building something together.
Then I started looking into ASK.
This isnāt some random crypto company.
ASK is one of the largest private groups in the UAE with interests spanning finance, infrastructure, commodities, trade, and investment.
Then you get to the leadership.
His Highness Sheikh Ahmed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan isnāt just another executive.
Heās a member of the Al Nahyan family, the ruling family of Abu Dhabi.
His grandfather was President of the UAE.
His father was President of the UAE.
His uncle is the current President of the UAE.
Let that sink in for a minute.
Now add in Punit Thakker.
Most people probably skimmed right past his name.
I didnāt.
This guy has spent more than 20 years building payment infrastructure across the Middle East, India, and Asia.
PayPal.
Checkout.
Telr.
PayTabs.
Heās helped build payment networks processing billions of dollars and has worked directly with institutions helping shape digital finance policy across the Gulf.
Thatās not the type of person you bring in for a small project.
Remember, Keeta isnāt trying to build another crypto ecosystem.
Itās trying to build financial infrastructure.
When you combine a UAE royal family-backed joint venture, a fintech veteran with deep regional connections, and a network built for compliance, payments, tokenization, and interoperabilityā¦
You start to understand why they keep talking about trillions.
Not because trillions are flowing tomorrow.
But because thatās the size of the markets theyāre targeting.
Oil.
Gold.
Silver.
Copper.
Cross-border payments.
Trade finance.
Real-world assets.
Hereās what really caught my attention.
Most projects spend years trying to get a seat at the table.
These guys already seem to be sitting at it.
A member of the UAEās ruling family.
One of the largest private business groups in the region.
Fintech executives who have spent decades building payment infrastructure throughout the Middle East and Asia.
And Keeta providing the technology layer.
Thatās an incredibly powerful combination.
The market can believe it or not.
Personally, I think people are dramatically underestimating what was announced yesterday and the scale of what theyāre trying to build.
This isnāt a swing at millions.
It isnāt a swing at billions.
Itās a swing at trillions.

$KTA : Review
A member of the Abu Dhabi Royal Family just created a joint venture with a blockchain project to tokenize tens of billions of dollars of Gulf commodities and modernize cross-border payments across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
Meet Keeta Network - a Layer-1 blockchain designed to unify global payment networks through built-in KYC/AML compliance, cross-chain settlement, and 11.2M TPS verified by Google's Spanner team.
Founded by ex-BrainBlocks and Nano veterans. Backed by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt. And as of today, partnered with ASK Group, a UAE-based investment group led by His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Sultan bin Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to build a public exchange for tokenized Gulf commodities targeting 2027.
Let's explore what just happened and why it matters. š
šµ The ASK Group Partnership
This is the kind of announcement that redefines a project's trajectory overnight.
Keeta and ASK Group, led by His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Sultan bin Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, have created a joint venture aiming to tokenize tens of billions of dollars of commodities and modernize cross-border payments in the GCC region and beyond.
Key details:
ā The joint venture is working toward establishing a Keeta-powered public exchange for tokenized Gulf commodities, with an initial target of 2027, subject to regulatory approvals and the establishment of custody and operational infrastructure.
ā Every barrel of oil, ounce of gold, and kilogram of silver will be represented as a digital token on the Keeta network, bringing 24/7 settlement, instant fractional trading, global compliance, and verifiable proof-of-reserves to one of the largest untapped markets on earth.
ā Global commodity markets move several trillion dollars annually. The GCC's share of the world's proven oil reserves alone represents an asset base whose tokenization would constitute one of the largest migrations of real-world value onto blockchain infrastructure in history.
ā A retail investor in Tokyo, an institutional fund in London, or a family office in Singapore will have the same direct access to a barrel of Gulf crude or an ounce of UAE-held gold as the largest commodity trading houses have historically enjoyed.
ā The UAE is one of the highest-volume remittance origination markets on earth, with the UAE-India corridor alone moving approximately $20 billion annually. Keeta's infrastructure will modernize cross-border payments to South Asia, Africa, Southeast Asia, and beyond.
ā ASK Group holds exclusive rights to facilitate and execute Keeta's presence across the UAE, MEA, and India.
ā This marks the beginning of a long-term relationship. Additional asset classes and use cases in the GCC region and beyond are planned.
āŖ Why This Matters
Let's put this in context. Keeta was already positioned as a compliance-first L1 targeting the TradFi-DeFi bridge. Eric Schmidt backing. 11.2M TPS verified. Bank acquisition pending. KUSD stablecoin incoming.
Now add: a joint venture with an Abu Dhabi Royal Family-led investment group to tokenize the Gulf's commodity reserves, one of the most valuable asset bases on earth. Oil. Gold. Silver. On a blockchain that does 11.2 million transactions per second with 400ms settlement and built-in KYC/AML.
At $0.20 per token and a $113M market cap, KTA is valued at less than the annual remittance volume of a single UAE-India corridor ($20B). The commodity markets this joint venture is targeting move trillions annually. If even a fraction of 1% of Gulf commodity tokenization flows through Keeta, the current market cap looks microscopic.
āŖ Keeta at a Glance
Keeta is a Layer-1 blockchain designed to unify global payment networks. Built on a DAG-based architecture with dPoS consensus, it enables cross-chain settlement, RWA tokenization, and built-in KYC/AML compliance.
$KTA trades at $0.20 as of June 9, 2026, up 35% in the last 24 hours on the ASK Group announcement. Market cap: $113M. Circulating supply: ~513M out of 1B max.
ā 11.2M TPS verified by Google's Spanner engineering team and Chainspect ā 400ms settlement times ā Built-in KYC/AML compliance at the protocol level ā DAG-based architecture with dPoS consensus ā Native RWA tokenization and digital identity tools ā Cross-chain settlement layer ā Bank acquisition pending regulatory approval ā Upcoming: KUSD stablecoin, Keeta Pay, Keeta Card, native DEX ā Backed by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt ($17M at $75M valuation)
šµ Meet the Keeta Team
Keeta is led by crypto payments veterans from BrainBlocks and Nano, backed by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, and now partnered with an Abu Dhabi Royal Family-led investment group for sovereign-scale commodity tokenization.
ā¶ļø Core Members:
ā Ty Schenk [ @schenkty ] - Founder & CEO | Software engineer, ex-BrainBlocks co-founder, ex-Turo, ex-Steel Perlot. Forbes 30 Under 30. Designed Keeta to make cross-border payments as simple as Venmo. Now leading a joint venture with Abu Dhabi royalty to tokenize Gulf commodities.
ā Roy Keene - CTO | 16+ years in systems engineering. Former lead developer at Nano Foundation, former Senior Cloud Architect at AWS. Brings deep blockchain architecture and cloud infrastructure expertise. Built the 11.2M TPS engine.
ā David Campos - Head of Operations
ā Josh Kleiman - General Counsel
šµ Ratings
ā Use Case: ā ā ā ā ā (5/5) - The ASK Group partnership elevates Keeta from "promising compliance-first L1" to "the blockchain that an Abu Dhabi Royal Family investment group chose to tokenize Gulf commodities." Oil, gold, silver on-chain with 24/7 settlement, fractional trading, and proof-of-reserves. Cross-border payments modernization for the $20B UAE-India corridor. Combined with 11.2M TPS, 400ms finality, built-in KYC/AML, Eric Schmidt backing, and the pending bank acquisition, Keeta now has the most significant real-world asset pipeline of any L1 outside of Ondo and Stellar. Upgrading from 4.5 to 5.
ā Tokenomics: ā ā ā (3/5) - Unchanged. 1B supply, 50% community allocation is decent, but 40% insider allocation (team + investors) and no burn mechanism remain concerns. The ASK Group partnership should drive significant future demand for KTA as the settlement token for tokenized commodities, but that's 2027+ timeline.
ā Audits: ā ā ā ā (4/5) - CertiK audited. Stress test verified by Chainspect and Google Spanner team. Strong security positioning for an L1 targeting institutional finance and now sovereign wealth-adjacent commodity tokenization.
ā Community: ā ā ā ā (4/5) - 235M testnet wallets, 42M active wallets, 13+ exchange listings, growing social presence. The ASK Group announcement drove 35% in 24 hours, showing the community responds
to real catalysts. Active Twitter Spaces and engagement from the founder.
šµ Conclusion
One hour ago, Keeta Network went from "compliance-first L1 backed by Eric Schmidt" to "the blockchain that an Abu Dhabi Royal Family-led investment group is using to tokenize Gulf commodity reserves." That's not a partnership announcement. That's a sovereign-adjacent endorsement of Keeta as the infrastructure layer for one of the largest migrations of real-world value onto blockchain in history.
The numbers speak: trillions in annual commodity flows. $20 billion in the UAE-India remittance corridor alone. Exclusive rights across UAE, MEA, and India. Public commodity exchange targeting 2027. Oil, gold, silver as on-chain tokens with 24/7 settlement, fractional access, and proof-of-reserves. All running on a chain that does 11.2M TPS with 400ms finality and built-in compliance.
At $0.20 and $113M market cap, 35% up today, KTA is either the most undervalued infrastructure play in the RWA space or the market hasn't had time to process what just happened. Given that this announcement is one hour old, the answer is probably the latter.
The question isn't whether tokenized Gulf commodities are a big deal.
They're potentially the biggest RWA opportunity in the world. The question is whether Keeta and ASK Group can execute on the 2027 timeline.
If they do, $113M market cap for the blockchain powering trillions in commodity tokenization will look like the buy of the cycle.
It is a pleasure to begin this journey with @KeetaNetwork , led by CEO @schenkty and supported by former Google CEO @ericschmidt. The UAE has always been a place that inspires ambition, innovation, and long-term thinking, and we are proud to play our part in that story. Through this partnership, we look forward to working hand in hand to contribute to the UAEās vision while helping strengthen cross-border connectivity and unlock the potential of real-world assets through technology. This is only the beginning, and I am excited for what we can build together for the benefit of our nation and beyond.
(1/9) Keeta and ASK Group @askgroupae, a UAE-based investment group led by His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Sultan bin Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan @asknahyan, have created a joint venture aiming to tokenize tens of billions of dollars of commodities and modernize cross-border payments in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region and beyond, contributing to the UAE's vision and commitment to growth as a global leader in digital finance and real-world asset infrastructure.
THIS IS MIND BLOWING š¤Æ
šŗšø YESTERDAY Joe Kent āā "Israel will try to violate the ceasefire by attacking Iran or Lebanon. Trump should be very careful with Netanyahu"
š®š· TODAY Iran FM āā Abbas Araghchi has confirmed that Israel š®š± has violated ceasefire by attacking Lebanon nonstop"
This man has so much courage. Rightly predicts things, left his job to stand at the right of history š«”
This morning I compared Keeta vs Wise vs Revolut on my Keeta routing engine using modeled routing and estimated costs
Just pushed an update tonight
Itās now pulling from the Keeta pricing anchor as a live reference
Still a simulator
but no longer just guessing on pricing
You can change:
amount
corridor
sender type
payment type
and see how a payment actually routes across
Keeta rails
hybrid paths
and legacy systems like SWIFT
What stands out isnāt just price
itās how the path itself changes
fewer intermediaries
lower cost basis
faster settlement
Still early, need some more data
Optimized for desktop right now, mobile coming shortly

Iām honestly exhausted after today
In a good way
Just brain overload from everything Keeta announced
Iāve been in Keeta for almost a year now
Got in May 2025
Iāve always been a strong supporter and believer in their mission and their tech
But like anyone thatās waited a year for something that brings real usage⦠there are days you sit back and think
Am I making the right decision?
Am I crazy for doing this?
Today was that day
The day that brought validation
What they showed proved this is actually going live
It lines up with what weāve been watching get built in GitHub this whole time
Iām not even going to rehash everything thatās coming
The bigger picture is this
This isnāt just improving payments
If this works the way it looks like it will⦠it changes how they work entirely
People throw around āgame changingā all the time
This actually is
Buying right now feels like finding bitcoin in 2009
Except this isnāt going to take 20 years
Scarcity is real
And once institutions see this tested and what it can provide, theyāre not going to want to be left behind
Theyāll need in
Theyāll need the token
And the value will appreciate accordingly
Appreciate the team
Appreciate everyone that checks in and supports my posts
Today was a day of validation
And damn it feels good to be part of Keeta
@KeetaNetwork $KTA
Somethingās brewingā¦
Just hit the site and itās locked behind a password š
Could part of todayās announcement be a full site launch?
Feels like theyāre getting ready to flip the switch.
Either way⦠this isnāt normal pre-announcement behavior.
Itās time.
