$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. 👇

🔵 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:

➛ 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.

➛ 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.

➛ 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.

➛ 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.

➛ 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.

➛ ASK Group holds exclusive rights to facilitate and execute Keeta's presence across the UAE, MEA, and India.

➛ This marks the beginning of a long-term relationship. Additional asset classes and use cases in the GCC region and beyond are planned.

⚪ 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.

⚪ 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.

➛ 11.2M TPS verified by Google's Spanner engineering team and Chainspect ➛ 400ms settlement times ➛ Built-in KYC/AML compliance at the protocol level ➛ DAG-based architecture with dPoS consensus ➛ Native RWA tokenization and digital identity tools ➛ Cross-chain settlement layer ➛ Bank acquisition pending regulatory approval ➛ Upcoming: KUSD stablecoin, Keeta Pay, Keeta Card, native DEX ➛ Backed by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt ($17M at $75M valuation)

🔵 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.

▶️ Core Members:

➛ 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.

➛ 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.

➛ David Campos - Head of Operations

➛ Josh Kleiman - General Counsel

🔵 Ratings

➛ Use Case: ★★★★★ (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.

➛ Tokenomics: ★★★ (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.

➛ Audits: ★★★★ (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.

➛ Community: ★★★★ (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.

🔵 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.

When I spoke at SALT Conference last fall, the conversation centered around the convergence of traditional finance and blockchain finance. Today, many in the industry are still trying to determine how to position their businesses for that future.

Tomorrow, @KeetaNetwork will begin general availability of global multi-currency banking functionality to customers in more than 160 countries. The platform will support holding 8 fiat currencies, SWIFT deposits and payments, stablecoin deposits and withdrawals across multiple blockchains, and instant payouts from tokenized fiat to bank accounts through collaboration with Visa Direct.

We look forward to supporting those navigating the modern financial world. $KTA

Two pioneers. Two distinct approaches. One transformative market.

Agility Robotics and Apptronik are shaping the future of humanoid automation at scale.

Agility’s Digit v4 emphasizes real-world logistics deployment with a lighter frame and proven enterprise pilots.
Apptronik’s Apollo brings greater payload capacity and a design engineered for broader industrial versatility.

From valuation and capital raised to hardware specs and commercial strategy, both represent compelling, yet different, bets on the humanoid robotics wave.

At https://t.co/fCBlgv1QxX, we provide access to both as pre-IPO opportunities, because the future of robotics isn’t binary. It’s diversified.

[WLTH @wlthxyz]

In 2020, there were 2 private companies in the $100B discussion.

Now there are 11.

SpaceX.
OpenAI.
ByteDance.
Anthropic.
xAI.
Databricks.
Stripe.
Revolut.
Shein.
Anduril.
Waymo.

7 have crossed the line.
4 are close behind.

The $100B club is forming before IPO.

Most people are still waiting for the bell.

Khaby Lame just retired at 25 for $975,000,000.

The company that bought it expects to generate $4B this year.

But Khaby didn't just sell his TikTok account.

He sold his entire existence.

The deal includes a scary "AI Digital Twin" clause:

He handed over his:

• Face ID
• Voice ID
• Behavioral models

Since he never speaks in his videos, there's no language barrier.

Which means his AI clone is now:

• Selling sneakers in Shanghai
• Promoting skincare in São Paulo
• Doing brand deals in Los Angeles

All at the exact same time.

Brands are currently paying $1M per ad to use his digital twin.

He doesn't show up.

He doesn't film anything.

He doesn't even open his laptop.

His clone does everything.

While the real Khaby is probably on a beach somewhere.

The trajectory has been nothing short of impressive.

2020: laid off from factory job in Italy
2026: $975M exit without saying a word

He went from unemployment to billionaire status by pointing at things.

#BTC 2025 Prediction. After 17 days of accurately predicting BTC price action, with the help of chinese astrology, I'm pretty cofident to say $BTC is about to do it's final leg.

1. Bottom should be in during 11-28 to 11/29 when mercury retrograde ends(so in a week). High swings up and down 11/29 to 12/05. (We are currently somewhere around mid July 2021.

2. Rise from 12/05-12/06 to 12/18 for 2 weeks. Relief Rally with BTC sitting around 100k - 110k.

3. Dip from 12/18/2026 to 01/06/2026, dip for 3 weeks, to 90-100k.

4. Rise from 01/06/2026 to mid Feb. And Hit ATH by mid February 2026. My target is around 140k to 145k.

Altseason should happen Jan to Feb.

I will exit most of my bags in mid Feb, or beginning of March as we enter the horse year.

6 months ago, Raoul Pal said we are in an elongated business/debt cycle and that bitcoin would climb higher and then we would see a -35% drawdown and “everyone will be sure that it is over… and it won’t be over.”

You need to watch this again.

AN OPEN LETTER TO @YouTube AND NEAL MAHON.

Dear @YouTube

I built a media business that broadcasts on your platform.

Our business has exploded and we are growing rapidly.

We have over 1,1m subscribers.

We employ over 100 people globally and we work tirelessly to deliver on our mission of building the most profitable community in the world.

Despite our success,

I am constantly anxious. I don’t sleep at night and I am scared to scale my business.

Why?

It’s not because of any real market or business risk.

It’s because I know that at any moment I could get a Youtube strike, or a series of strikes , that may force me to close the entire business overnight and destroy my work and that of my 100 employees.

Even though our channel hasn’t been affected , many of our partner channels and fellow creators have suffered this fate.

As one of the larger players in the industry, I feel I have a duty and an obligation to take on this fight.

100s of crypto content creators are making the same videos they have made for years, with similar content and style, only now they are getting strikes or being deplatformed.

And the worst parts,

1. They have absolutely no idea what they are doing wrong and so they can’t change.

All they get is a vague message that the video contravened the community Guidelines, of which there are many.

2. The appeal process is flawed, seems to be an AI and unreliable.

Worse yet, is that since Youtube has network effects and a monopoly of sorts there are no real viable alternatives, and so if it happens to you , your business is gone.

One of our partners and member of our group of companies , @FefeDemeny has a channel called the 100x club.

He comes from a humble background!

He is hardworking, ambitious and makes great content.

He built a business from his garage, started from zero and was just getting momentum.

Recently his channel has been under attack by the Youtube algorithm, he received warnings and strikes and despite all the strikes being removed on appeal - today his channel was removed permanently!

The worst part is that he has no idea why.

He has become really conservative with his content, he follows all the known guidelines, he follows all the processes and he still received the strikes.

Now he cannot make content for a week and his ability to keep funding his business is impaired.

He, like many others in this industry, is a business creator with good intentions and great content.

We have made millions of hours of content on your platforms.

We have brought in Billions of dollars of ad revenue.

Despite this our businesses are under threat constantly.

He is not the only one. It’s happening daily to creators in our industry and we have no idea why.

At this point it is clear that there is an issue with your flagging software.

It seems like a setting is too sensitive.

And this issue is costing honest people their businesses and their livelihoods.

We are not asking for any favorable treatment or for you to change any rules,

All we are asking for is clarity.

We want to understand why some channels are randomly getting strikes so we can understand and comply.

We would also appreciate it if you could review your algorithm as it may be set to sensitive or it may be picking up false positives.

As a monopoly of sort you have a duty to ensure that you are fair to all creators, the same creators that build your business.

We would appreciate a real response for a real human, someone with real power and some action that can assist us in maintaining our businesses that we have worked so hard to build.

I write this on behalf of many creators.

I look forward to a response.

If you want to help creators, please share this far and wide. You are helping save people’s businesses.

I wanted to follow up and substantiate my tier list after doing more research, and I now included what I consider to be the more complete "neobank" products in the space. So, I made this chart after comparing the key features.

etherfi is the runaway winner when you combine everything together. Just look at the chart, it's hard to argue with. It's the only one that's better than tradfi in pretty much every way, lowest barriers to entry, best wealth management tools and rewards.

I am euro biased, so gnosis is a good second place considering the euro native features and all around good offering.

Metamask is newer and has more fees, but seems like a great product as well.

I ranked KAST and Crypto com lower, but still good products. This is mainly because they are custodial, and I believe in self custody. But also, they have some annoying ponzi mechanics like points and staking requirements to get good features.

I partnered with etherfi because I really love the product.
