The first real consensus mechanism that society created is the social contract. It's enforcement mechanism? The legal system. Everything else is built within (including blocks, chains and NFTs).
The new Project Guardian white paper includes contributions from @Axelar, @Citi, @Fidelity, @FTI_Global, @swiftcommunity & more.
@NYcryptolawyer & I are cited, talking protocol-level compliance in non-custodial connectors. Thanks @MAS_sg!

Excited to be speaking tomorrow alongside Jane Khodarkovsky and @NYcryptolawyer on the "DeFi: Strategy and Expectations for Regulatory Developments" panel as part of PLI's "Developments in Decentralized Finance 2025."
Looking forward to hearing perspectives from other panels and learn what’s happening across the space!

JUST ANNOUNCED: JPMorgan Product Head Joins GSR Trading MD to Build Institutional Staking Markets
“It’s only a matter of time before asset managers are benchmarked against indices like CESR, the Composite Ethereum Staking Rate, and we intend to provide the market infrastructure that enables this," said Abbas Ali and Ruchir Gupta, Co-Founders of @GyldFinance.
CESR, by @coinfund, in collaboration with @CoinDesk Indices, is a daily benchmark rate that represents the mean, annualized staking yield of the Ethereum validator population.

I was quoted in the latest piece from @c_degen725 at @pensionsnews on crypto in 401(k)s. A step toward regulatory clarity would usher in a new chapter for digital assets.

The Tornado Cash verdict could reshape DeFi’s future, especially for privacy-focused developers. @JonaJaupi in @defiantnews explains why:

I told The Defiant the ruling exposes a gap between how decentralized software is seen and how it works. Bridging that gap is critical for innovation. 💡 #Axelar #DeFi
"You could have a stablecoin of an issuer on some other chain that you bridged it to. Unless you can actually redeem it there, you have to question, what's the actual value of that stablecoin? Because I don't think it's a dollar." 🤔
Decentralized blockchains are no longer a crypto experiment.
They’re becoming institutional infrastructure.
At Point Zero Forum @axelar nailed it:
- Banks are outsourcing to public L1s
- Regulation is adapting
- Interoperability is the new compliance
The shift is happening and it’s unstoppable.
Axelar is ahead of the curve.
This is why I'm bullish on $AXL
The players who will be live in 12 to 18 months are lining up infrastructure, now.
@interop_labs head of legal + policy @jasonrozovsky at Harvard Blockchain Conference 2025 🔗 👇
Axelar has a unique perspective on why institutions are moving to tap into public blockchains—on display at @pointzeroforum 🔗👇
"These back-office systems at 10 disparate banks have become redundant, because they can outsource a lot of that to public infrastructure."
Institutions need to balance their objectives with the features of decentralized blockchain networks - interoperability is key to advancing this work.
Great to see the cutting edge work @DeutscheBank and @Memento_Bc are doing and the role that @axelar is playing in distribution.
As stablecoins boom, Axelar + @DeutscheBank are building compliant rails for tokenized finance. Introducing the Project DAMA 2 litepaper:
1️⃣ Ethereum Layer-1 settlement
2️⃣ A unique L2 built by @Memento_Bc on @zksync Prividium
3️⃣ An app store for fund smart contracts 🧵 👇
ERC-7786, architected by @OpenZeppelin and @axelar, will be a catalyst for enabling next-gen multichain applications on the EVM.
