There’s a sleeping L1 gem everyone is overlooking right now and in the next 5 minutes, I’ll tell you exactly why;
Currently there is only around $27 Billion Dollars of RWAs on-chain across all blockchains.
The Al Nahyan family - the second wealthiest family on Earth with a net worth of around $335 Billion USD - controls approximately 6% of the world's oil reserves through the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, representing roughly $8.46 Trillion USD in oil wealth alone.
They also produce approximately 4.5 million barrels per day, generating something in the range of $120–130 billion USD in annual gross revenue.
It is this family that Keeta $KTA has entered a joint venture with through ASK Group @askgroupae, founded by H.H. Sheikh Ahmed Bin Sultan Bin Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
In a bear case where Keeta only manages to tokenize just ONE % of Abu Dhabi's reserve value and it eventually finds representation as tokenized assets on Keeta's Network that would roughly $84.6 BILLION Dollars in on chain RWAs.
That's around 3.3x times more than the total market cap of all RWA's today across all chains, and remember that's just in the case that they tokenize JUST 1%.
And this goes far beyond oil. The joint venture includes gold, silver, copper, and a wider basket of Gulf industrial metals. The UAE is already one of the world’s largest commodity trading hubs, with hundreds of billions flowing annually through the Dubai Gold and Commodities Exchange.
It also includes cross-border payments across some of the largest remittance corridors on earth, with the UAE–India corridor alone moving over $20 Billion USD annually. And @askgroupae - linked to the wider royal Al Nahyan family - holds rights to Keeta’s presence across the UAE, the Middle East, India, and Africa.
As of writing this, $KTA sits at just a $100 Million marketcap today - lower than the market caps of some memecoins and dino chains.
Yet the upside scenario people are overlooking is exposure to markets measured in the hundreds of billions and even trillions of dollars.
The deal isn't hypothetical - it's signed, and integration is already underway. Keeta is probably one of, if not the ONLY chain that is able to represent and facilitate this through its tech; Keeta settles transactions faster and at a much larger scale than anyone else, with compliance built into the protocol.
Chains like $XRP have been trying to achieve something similar for the past 14 years, reaching a $200 Billion market cap largely on speculation that they could eventually make it work in some form, somewhere, at some point, somehow. Well, they can’t and their chains will be driven by this same speculation that they could eventually make it work in some form, somewhere, somehow for the next 14 years as well.
Keeta is aiming to accomplish what Ripple couldn’t within a year of its public existence. Now imagine what they will achieve in the next one, two, or five years.
This could end up being one of the biggest opportunities in the market.
Lets start to decode yesterday breaking news. The first and most obvious question is What is ASK Group @askgroupae. I will break it down into the following sections:
1) What is ASK Group UAE @askgroupae
2) The partnership
3) Why it matters
4) Who owns ASK
UAE DECODED: What is ASK Group?
Most people have never heard of ASK Group. That's about to change.
ASK Group is a Dubai-based investment and operating company founded by Sheikh Ahmed bin Sultan bin Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan @asknahyan , a member of the UAE's founding royal family and grandson of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the man who unified the Emirates and built one of the most remarkable nations in modern history.
Sheikh Ahmed's father is Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, son of the UAE's first president. That lineage matters, not just symbolically, but practically. The Al Nahyan family has been the driving force behind the UAE's transformation from a small Gulf federation into a global financial, technological, and cultural hub. ASK Group sits squarely in that tradition of building things that matter.
-----------------------------------------------------------
So what does ASK Group actually do?
Think of it less like a traditional conglomerate and more like a strategic investment platform. One that backs founders, operators, and institutions looking to scale across the UAE and beyond.
The Group operates across four core pillars:
Real Estate: Luxury property development and strategic land investment across the UAE and international markets. This is the foundation of the business, long-term, high-value assets built to complement the UAE's Vision 2031 growth agenda.
Sport: Sheikh Ahmed is the president of Palm City FC and has a broader investment thesis around football, wellness, and lifestyle. Sport in the UAE is not just entertainment. It's nation-branding, and ASK Group understands that intersection well.
Technology: Investments in AI, fintech, and digital infrastructure. The UAE has set an explicit goal of becoming a global technology hub, and ASK Group is positioned to back the companies building that future.
Web3 & Decentralised Finance: This is where things get particularly interesting, and it's the reason we're talking about ASK Group right now.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The @KeetaNetwork Partnership. The real game changer.
In early 2026, ASK Group signed a Strategic Partnership Agreement with Keeta, a Layer 1 blockchain platform backed by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt.
The partnership is focused on commodity tokenisation: putting real-world assets, think physical commodities, raw materials, land, infrastructure; onto the blockchain in a way that is transparent, efficient, and accessible.
This is not speculative crypto. This is the application of blockchain technology to tangible, real-world economic activity.
What makes this particularly significant is the context. The UAE sits at the crossroads of the world's major commodity flows; oil, gas, gold, agriculture, and has spent the last decade building the regulatory and financial infrastructure to become the global capital of decentralised finance. ASK Group's partnership with Keeta is a direct play on that positioning.
@schenkty with the Keeta team visited Dubai earlier this year to sign the the partnership contract. They stood, with the ASK team at the Museum of the Future, arguably the most symbolic building in the UAE. The photo at the top of this card is from that day.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Why does this series exist?
Because the intersection of old money and new technology rarely gets covered well. Most Web3 content is noise. Most coverage of Gulf royal families is surface-level. I wanted to go deeper on both, and this partnership gave me the right story to do it with.
Over the next cards I break down exactly how the ASK × Keeta partnership works, why commodity tokenisation on a UAE-backed Layer 1 blockchain matters globally, and a deeper look at the family structure and vision behind ASK Group.
Follow along for more insight.

This is what people need to understand about @KeetaNetwork x @askgroupae :
The Royal Family of the UAE does not put its name behind random crypto projects.
That matters.
The Royal Family of the UAE has reputation, legacy, national credibility, and serious institutional relationships to protect. They are not going to casually attach themselves to something that could tarnish that.
So when ASK Group, led by His Highness Sheikh Ahmed Bin Sultan, forms a joint venture with Keeta, that is a massive signal.
In His Highness his words:
The UAE doesn’t wait for the future, it creates it.
This is not just another L1 trying to get attention.
This is Keeta being positioned as the backbone of a multi-trillion-dollar financial transformation, powering cross-border remittances, tokenized commodities, real-world assets, audited custody, on-chain proof of reserves, institutional-grade settlement, and the financial rails connecting the UAE to the global economy. This is the kind of infrastructure that could redefine how value moves around the world.
That is the part the market has not yet priced in.
Once people understand the weight of the Royal Family of the UAE being involved, the rest becomes much easier to understand.
Keeta is no longer just another crypto.
It is becoming real financial infrastructure.
ELI5:
Imagine one of the most powerful and reputation-conscious families in the world saying:
“We are backing this technology to help build the next version of global finance.”
Think of it like this:
The Royal Family of the UAE has far too much reputation at stake to casually endorse something unreliable. Their involvement suggests they see Keeta as technology that could play a real role in how money, assets, and value move around the world in the future.
TLDR:
The Royal Family of the UAE does not casually back crypto.
Their involvement with Keeta is the signal.
Everything else follows from that.
keeta:native
Innovation thrives when visionary leadership and transformative technology come together. We are pleased to embark on this journey with Keeta, led by CEO Ty Schenk and supported by the confidence of former Google CEO Eric Schmidt. Together, we aim to contribute to UAE’s vision for digital finance, cross border connectivity, and the tokenization of real world assets.
(9/9) This initiative marks the beginning of a long-term relationship focused on financial innovation worldwide.
In the future, the Keeta network is planned to be utilized for additional asset classes and use cases in the GCC region and beyond.
More developments coming soon.

Something I stumbled on completely by accident.
I was doing some AI agentic testing yesterday, running through keeta:native's infrastructure, checking what is live, what connects, what does not. And then I landed on https://t.co/0KoU8NOW4V.
Right there, sitting in the agent wallet section, was Cobo. Not mentioned in any announcement. Not hyped by the team. Just quietly sitting there, already integrated.
You can verify it yourself right now. Cobo has a dedicated Keeta page live at https://t.co/wY6pmjhvSD and Keeta is listed there by name. The GitHub repo for the entire infrastructure stack is public at https://t.co/VNXe2MCYy1, Python and TypeScript SDK, MCP server, agent framework integrations, all open and available today.
So who exactly is Cobo?
Cobo is not a small side project. They are one of the most serious wallet infrastructure companies in the space, Singapore-based with deep institutional reach across Asia and China. They service exchanges, funds, and financial institutions at scale. Their product is custodial wallets, MPC wallets, smart contract wallets, and exchange wallets all in one platform. Billions in assets under management.
But their newest product is the one that caught my attention. The Cobo Agentic Wallet is built specifically for AI agents, not for humans. Instead of giving an agent unrestricted access to funds, you create what Cobo calls a Pact, a delegation agreement that defines the intent, execution plan, spending policies, and completion conditions. The agent operates autonomously within those boundaries. It can send payments, manage treasury, execute transactions, and it does it all without exposing private keys or requiring manual approval on every move.
Now think about what Ty said recently,
"My AI project has a Keeta wallet and is accessing all the different rails through the SDK. Theoretically you could create an agent that sends an invoice, accepts a payment, and then does something based on that. It is all available today."
That is exactly what Cobo's Pact system is designed for. And it is already inside Keeta's official agent infrastructure.
Ty has been clear that Keeta's real business is not Keeta Personal. The core product is the SDK. The goal is to go two, three vendors deep and replace the infrastructure that the brands you already know are built on, without those brands or their customers even realising it. Cobo already sits inside institutional crypto infrastructure across Asia. If Cobo integrates Keeta rails into their agentic wallet stack, every institution, fund, and fintech that builds on Cobo automatically gets Keeta underneath. That is not one partner. That is an entire ecosystem of downstream customers flowing through a single integration.
Cobo is headquartered in Singapore with deep institutional roots across Asia and China. The Chinese Yuan is already one of the eight live fiat currencies on Keeta Personal today.
Is this the top secret mission? Probably not. Is this the out of the blue announcement Ty teased? Maybe not that either. But this could be exactly the project Ty has been quietly building on the side, the AI agent with a live Keeta wallet, built on Cobo's infrastructure, already running on mainnet.
Nobody announced this. Nobody made a post about it. I just found it by accident while building. Draw your own conclusions.

@KeetaNetwork @schenkty @Cobo_Global keeta:native
JUST IN: $KTA surges 30.2% ahead of its anticipated global multi-currency banking launch tomorrow.
Keeta Personal going live is way bigger than most people realize.
Ty is on community call right now talking about tomorrow’s Keeta Personal release.
People across roughly 190 countries (compliance may slightly limit some regions at first) will be able to create multi currency accounts on Keeta with the initial 9 digital fiat currencies:
USD
CAD
EUR
GBP
AED
HKD
JPY
MXN
CNY
Hold fiat.
Send fiat.
Receive fiat.
Move between rails.
Convert between currencies.
That alone is a huge deal.
But the deeper part is what’s coming behind it.
Visa Direct outbound already working in 15 currencies and expanding.
SWIFT outbound.
By mid Q3 they want to be tapped into basically every viable Web3 rail through partnerships.
More crypto and traditional finance partners are ready to come online.
Treasury products are something they’re actively looking at too.
One of the most underrated things Ty talked about today was ACH debits. That will be live on Keeta Personal at launch.
A named ACH debit in your own name that can automatically pull from your account for things like mortgages, car payments, bills, subscriptions, etc.
That’s massive because around 90% of payment flows in the U.S. still run through ACH and ACH is slow as hell.
Ty also mentioned there’s effectively no delay between KTA and USD with this setup.
Think about what that actually means.
Someone outside the U.S. could potentially access U.S. financial services and payment rails through Keeta while holding digital fiat and moving between crypto and traditional finance inside the same system.
Big changes to global finance are coming. Tomorrow is essentially the grand opening to future of Keeta.
@KeetaNetwork $KTA
People keep asking for my opinion on keeta:native
I make early stage investments based on fundamentals and the vision/potential of a project. The chart/technicals come second. Most of the time fundamentals take time to reflect in price. It sounds like Tuesday we should get a better feel for the fundamentals from the launch of Keeta personal. I will start to evaluate my fundamental thesis more in depth over the next month after testing the product. That evaluation determines my allocation changes if any.
People keep stating there is no adoption. Yes it is limited but with any early stage project there is no adoption. That is the reason why you have a very high asymmetric opportunity. If everything was certain and full adoption was here it would already be priced in. You get paid for taking risk. You must control your risk by not over allocating to early stage risky projects. Think like a Venture Capitalist. 8/10 investments they make go to $0. The 2 that do well not only make up for the losses but give them massive net returns. They have years where they are deep in drawdown and look dumb then in one year everything changes.
The keeta:native chart looks awful. For most people it’s “scary”. I get it. But you get paid big time by being greedy when others are fearful. So if sentiment is at all time lows, chart looks terrible but fundamentals are still intact and the project/company is innovating in a sector that is very likely to have extreme growth that is the time to either hold on and focus on making more money or get balls of steel and double down.
There should never ever be one investment that wipes you out. Always allocate prudently and think about worse case scenarios first not best case.
Keeta is still my largest low cap holding by far. Let’s see how these product launches go over the next month or so.
@schenkty Stripe confirmed 👍
I see a lot of people talking about Keeta Personal in extremes right now.
One side says it’s just a wallet update.
The other side thinks the entire global financial system changes overnight on May 22nd.
I think both takes are missing the point a bit.
Based on the previews, screenshots, Ty’s teaser, Gabe’s update, and what the team has already publicly shown, this clearly looks like a lot more than a normal crypto wallet:
• multi-currency global accounts
• native fiat balances
• SWIFT / ACH / Wire functionality
• Visa Direct payout rails
• token + fiat interoperability
• stablecoin funding and withdrawals
• cross-chain compatibility
• on-chain FX conversion
• identity tied directly into transfers
• SDK infrastructure developers can build on
• shared/member account structures
• direct banking integrations
The bigger thing I think people are overlooking is that Keeta Personal is the consumer-facing side of a much larger network/infrastructure play.
That’s where this starts getting really interesting long term.
The Anchor and SDK model means every new institution, payment rail, banking integration, or Anchor potentially expands what the ecosystem can do:
• new markets
• new currencies
• new banking rails
• new payment options
• new settlement routes
• new apps and services built on top
A simple example with Keeta Personal could be someone holding USD in their account, instantly converting it to another currency, and sending it globally through integrated rails without needing separate exchanges, apps, or traditional multi-day bank wire settlement.
Realistically, if ACH/Wire functionality, IBAN accounts, Visa Direct payouts, fiat deposits/withdrawals, and FX conversion are actually live at launch, then there almost has to already be some level of banking, payment, liquidity, or Anchor integrations operating behind the scenes.
Obviously that doesn’t mean every country and rail is fully supported on day one.
A huge part of Keeta’s long-term growth will likely come from new Anchors expanding supported rails, institutions, payment options, and overall network functionality over time.
That expansion takes time, which is why Ty building the AI Anchor deployment tool matters. It potentially allows the network to scale much faster.
I’d also expect parts of the broader ecosystem like Keeta Business, Keeta Checkout, tokenized stocks, and the T-Bill product to continue rolling out over time as the network expands.
So set expectations accordingly.
Don’t expect every part of the long-term vision to suddenly appear overnight.
But also don’t dismiss this as “just a wallet update,” because based on everything shown publicly so far, this looks like a very meaningful step forward toward what Keeta is actually trying to build.
The future looks bright.
@KeetaNetwork keeta:native
This is impressive. May have to use @KeetaNetwork for payroll for overseas contractors.
The number 1 utility of crypto/blockchain has and likely always will be transfer of value. I’m investing in payments projects that have the lowest fees, highest scale, biggest institutions involved and ease of use for the everyday non native crypto user.
https://t.co/ASuvMnBcGP
(1/8) Over the past few months, the team has been building and expanding Keeta's infrastructure across payments, FX, investments, and digital assets.
We’re now rolling out a series of major releases that significantly expand what Keeta Network can do.
See our new releases below.
Something interesting happened around Keeta today.
They posted a thread talking about what they call agentic payments. Basically the idea that in the future AI agents will be able to execute transactions automatically instead of humans doing everything manually.
If that world actually starts to happen the number of transactions in the system goes way up. Software paying for things, rebalancing portfolios, renewing subscriptions, moving money based on rules.
While that thread was going out I also saw something in the Discord.
Ty mentioned KTG (Keeta Token Genesis LLC) bought $100K worth of KTA from the Aerodrome pool. I grabbed the screenshots.
Hard to say exactly what that means yet.
Could just be treasury management.
Could be liquidity positioning.
Could be preparation for something coming.
Projects sometimes accumulate tokens like this before new integrations, liquidity expansions, or regional rails coming online.
Also interesting that Ty mentioned they have new plans for Mexico.
Not drawing conclusions here. Just sharing what I’m seeing and watching how the pieces come together.

@KeetaNetwork $KTA
wip, cooking confirmed
It’s officially March, and we’re coming up on one year of $KTA
As I mentioned in my last tweet, March is rumored to be shaping up as a very exciting and potentially big month for Keeta
It might be worth giving this a read before it’s too late :)
I couldn’t be more excited for our future 🚀
