In July, we made the case in our paper, “Banks Should Validate Public Blockchains: The Case for Regulated Institutions at the Base Layer.”
Read it here: https://t.co/z0140MoH9M
Our mission is tokenized money that works everywhere. We encourage banks and fintechs to lean into public chains, including as validators. Networks like Solana are ready to work with them.
Stablecoins are no longer a regulatory grey zone. For institutions, the question has shifted from "should we engage?" to "how?"
Regulators are setting the rules at different speeds, and waiting for global consensus is no longer an option. Banks now face a real choice: issue, distribute or custody stablecoins themselves, or watch deposits move to them anyway.
On the Policy Stage at #SFF2026, policymakers and industry leaders will unpack the options on the table, and what standing still really costs under the new rules.

#SingaporeFinTechFestival #SFF2026 #SGFinTechFest
@Sibos week, Miami. On Wednesday, 30 September, we are hosting the Miami chapter of @DeComputeConf 2026 with LF Decentralized Trust : a close door roundtable on bank-scale digital asset adoption.
We are putting three questions on the table:
1. First, post-quantum design for digital assets: what and how FIs and banks should migrate first, and how, without adding to the HSM, MPC and cold-storage fragmentation they already live with.
2. Second, a fully bank-owned custody and tokenization stack: how a bank keeps control of the critical parts of the stack and reuses the risk, compliance and governance systems it already trusts, instead of building a parallel world for tokenized assets.
3. Third, distributed cold custody with MPC inside HSMs: key sovereignty, recovery and custodian independence when a signing key never exists in one place.
Joining the conversation:
@dschwed , CTO, @OpenReserveBank
Mark Rakhmilevich, Group VP, @Oracle
Bharat Gupta, Head of Digital Assets, Financial Services, @Infosys
Ishan Singh, Senior Principal, Digital Assets, @Google
Hart Montgomery, CTO, @lfdecentralized@stablemaximus , CEO, @ubyx_ .
@hadleystern. Silence Laboratories, and
@jaysprakash alongside senior leaders from GSIBs, OCC-regulated banks and custodians.
The discussion runs under the Chatham House Rule.
Wednesday, 30 September, 3:00 to 4:15 pm.
Thanks to @danielabarbosa and LF Decentralized Trust for support!
The wallet could become the place where banks innovate.
Your bank account holds money with your bank. A wallet from that same bank could hold stablecoins, tokenized deposits, funds and other assets in one place.
@stablemaximus, Founder and CEO of @ubyx_, says giving customers wallets is the foundation of a bank’s digital asset strategy: “the locus of innovation is going to move to the wallet.”

Why should banks validate public blockchains?
Run down the numbers from this recent report published jointly with @ubyx_ and Anseta (formerly stakeFi).
An AI agent can make a payment. But who decides what it’s allowed to spend?
For agentic commerce to scale, businesses and consumers need more than autonomous transactions. They need clear mandates around budgets and conditions, alongside payment rails that can handle acceptance, compliance, auditability and liability when something goes wrong.
Nicole Sandler, Chief Ecosystem Officer at @ubyx_, and Amira Karim, Head of International Public Policy, Payments and Financial Services at @amazon, will bring that conversation to Stablecon USA, exploring the infrastructure and governance needed to make machine-initiated commerce trusted enough for real-world adoption.
Because the future of agentic commerce isn't just about giving machines the ability to pay. It's about deciding how much control we're willing to give them.

Alarm clocks, calculators, the Walkman. Those special-purpose devices don't exist anymore. They've been subsumed inside the general-purpose smartphone.
Blockchains are doing the same thing to financial services that the iPhone did to special-purpose devices.
Thanks @0xPolygon
