Tomorrow in NYC we're hosting Top of the Block, a special pre-@ethconf event cohosted with @1kxnetwork, @BitMNR, @Auros_global, and @BlockdaemonHQ.

Financial institutions, licensed exchanges, DATs, hedge funds, market makers, node operators - the institutions powering the onchain economy all know that networking optimization is foundational to expanding it. Excited to bring them together for a great night in the city. 🥂

Tokenization is no longer just about putting assets on-chain.

The more important question is what changes around them: ownership records, collateral, wallets, settlement, reporting and the operational infrastructure that makes financial markets work.

That was the focus of the opening panel at #CryptoFinanceForum London, where our VP of Institutional solutions Jeff Rundlet moderated a discussion with Kim Hochfeld from @StateStreet, Robert Crossley from @FranklnTempletn, Nadine Teychenne from @Citi and Amor Sexton from @BlockdaemonHQ.

Robert put the challenge clearly:

“As an industry, we talk a lot about tokenizing real world assets. We don’t talk a lot about unlocking real world benefits.”

Franklin Templeton has already spent five years measuring settlement cycles in seconds across tokenized money market infrastructure, running 24/7, 365 across 10 public chains and one private chain.

But the panel’s bigger point was that tokenization alone is not enough.

Amor compared it to the containerization moment in shipping: the real transformation did not come from the container itself, but when ports, ships, processes and surrounding infrastructure adapted around it.

The same is true in finance. Nadine framed one of the key institutional questions: what is the tokenized asset legally, what does ownership mean, and where is the golden record – the off-chain transfer agency book, or the on-chain record?

And Kim highlighted what tokenization can bring to institutional investment products: 24/7 access, collateral mobility, instantaneous settlement and distribution into the wallet infrastructure where investors are moving.

The message from the panel was clear: tokenization is past proof of concept, but scale will depend on the legal, operational and reporting infrastructure around it.

Incredible discussion earlier this week.

[Cryptio @cryptio_co]

Tokenization is no longer just a question of what can be brought on-chain.

It is a question is what needs to change around it: settlement, collateral, ownership records, wallets, interoperability, reporting and control.

At #CryptoFinanceForum London, our VP of Institutional Solutions Jeff Rundlet moderated a discussion with Kim Hochfeld from @StateStreet, Robert Crossley from @FranklnTempletn, Nadine Teychenne from @Citi, and Amor Sexton from @BlockdaemonHQ on what tokenization changes for issuers, investors and operators.

A few points that stood out:

📈 Franklin Templeton has already spent five years measuring settlement cycles in seconds across tokenized money market infrastructure, running 24/7 across 10 public chains and one private chain.

📦 Kim Hochfeld framed tokenization as the next evolution of the financial wrapper – adding 24/7 access, collateral mobility and instantaneous settlement.

🧾 Nadine Teychenne framed one of the key institutional questions: what is the tokenized asset legally, what does ownership mean, and where is the golden record – the off-chain transfer agency book or the on-chain record?

🚢 Amor Sexton compared tokenization to the containerization moment in shipping: the full transformation came not from the container alone, but when ports, ships, processes and infrastructure adapted around it.

🔗 Interoperability will be critical. Without it, tokenization risks creating new islands of liquidity rather than a more connected financial system.

The panel made one thing clear: tokenization is moving beyond proof of concept, but scale will depend on the operating infrastructure around it.

Watch the highlights below.

[European Blockchain Convention @EBlockchainCon]

Digital asset yield is becoming an institutional conversation.

This week, our Co-founder & Co-CEO Victoria Gago joins the Nordic Blockchain Conference in Stockholm to moderate a panel on crypto yield strategies — covering staking, lending, and the risk frameworks institutions are now applying to digital asset returns.

It is an important conversation because yield in crypto is no longer only about headline APYs. For serious market participants, it is increasingly about infrastructure, counterparty risk, custody, transparency, liquidity, and regulation.

That is exactly the kind of discussion Europe needs more of.

Thank you to the @nordicblock for bringing the ecosystem together.

See you in Stockholm.

Speakers:

Victoria Gago (@Victoria_AGago) — Co-founder & Co-CEO, European Blockchain Convention
Graham Cooke — Founder, @bravaxyz
Danny Bailey — Head of EMEA Sales, @BlockdaemonHQ

Ethereum swaps in the Blockdaemon Earn Stack just got simpler.

With transaction batching, users can approve and complete swap related actions with a single signature instead of multiple signing steps.

That means faster swaps, less friction, and a cleaner onchain experience for institutions building on Ethereum.
