Agentic payments won’t be one-size-fits-all.
At @AgenticSummit, @kleffew94 (@coinbase) and Viraj Gupta (@Stripe) break down how enterprises should evaluate frameworks based on the transaction, workflow, interoperability, identity, consent, and trust.
For institutions, access matters as much as the asset itself.
EEA member @LidoFinance bringing wstETH into @Anchorage’s institutional custody and staking environment is another step toward making Ethereum-native assets easier to use at scale.
Institutional access to wstETH continues to expand.
@Anchorage customers can now access wstETH through the institutional platform they already use for custody, staking, and settlement.
“Good standards don’t capture value. They create value.”
@kleffew94 of Coinbase gets to the heart of why standards matter in agentic finance at @AgenticSummit.
One of the hardest questions in institutional onchain finance is if the qualities that make blockchain infrastructure powerful can be preserved once regulated financial instruments enter the picture.
@cmoyall breaks this down in conversation with @RedoudouM at @Vault__Summit NYC.
The infrastructure to tokenize assets is advancing quickly. But for financial institutions, the harder question is how to operationalize tokenized assets inside real market environments.
Jason Emery, MD and Head of Product @The_DTCC explains it at @stable_summit NYC.
Before a tokenized asset can become usable collateral, institutions need more than the token.
Victor O'Laughlen from @bnyglobal highlights how tokenized collateral must meet real-world operational, legal, and risk requirements before it can function inside institutional markets.

Singapore during @token2049 is already one of the most important weeks on the events calendar.
We're thrilled for @Vault__Summit bring a focused institutional lens to the conversation: digital asset infrastructure, capital allocation, risk management, and what it takes to move from interest to implementation.
Vault Summit is coming to Singapore on 9 October 2026.
Exploring the rapid expansion of digital asset infrastructure across Asian markets and beyond. Institutional use cases, capital allocation frameworks, risk management, and adoption challenges.

“Tokenization is not the end.”
At @Vault__Summit NYC, @cmoyall made the case that tokenization only matters when it unlocks real institutional value: better liquidity, faster workflows, and a more compelling financial product.

Agentic payments are already splitting into real use cases with agents paying for services directly, completing purchases for users, and personal agents handling credentials safely.
Viraj Gupta (@stripe) broke down what they’re seeing in the market at the @AgenticSummit NYC.
“The assets themselves just becoming tokens doesn’t drive a huge amount of value. The reality is the use case onchain is what’s going to drive the value.”
This point from Jason Emery (@The_DTCC) gets right to the heart of where institutional tokenization is heading.
@stable_summit
“Operationally, there’s efficiencies that can be gained from tokenization, but from a risk management perspective, there’s a lot to unpack for institutions.”
A sharp point from Victor O’Laughlen of @BNYglobal at Stable Summit NYC.
Watch the full discussion for a practical look at what still needs to be solved before tokenization scales.
Victor O'Laughlen from @bnyglobal, Jason Emery from @The_DTCC, and Redwan Meslem (@RedoudouM) from @EntEthAlliance on what operational readiness looks like for institutions moving post-trade onchain, and what still needs to be built:
Institutional adoption depends on making Ethereum infrastructure commercially useful vs. just technically possible.
That means faster execution, better liquidity, compliant workflows, and real operational advantage.
Full fireside conversation from @Vault__Summit at New York Stock Exchange ⬇️
Privacy is one of the core requirements for institutional adoption.
And our Privacy report brought together leading teams across the ecosystem to map what’s ready today, where tradeoffs exist, and what institutions need next.
Thank you @0xPolygon for helping co-author EEA’s first enterprise privacy report and sharing this great read on what banks need to build successfully onchain! ⛓️
Co-authoring @EntEthAlliance's first enterprise privacy report taught us three things:
1. For institutions, privacy is a precondition for coming onchain
2. They want privacy AND onchain liquidity

Last week in NYC, Agentic Finance Summit brought together conversations on what needs to exist for agents to reliably transact, coordinate, and operate across financial systems: payments, standards, identity, trust, interoperability, and production-ready infrastructure.
The EEA is proud to have supported the event alongside @microsoft!
What needs to exist before agents can reliably buy, sell, and coordinate economic activity on our behalf?
This panel went deep on the agent payments stack: standards, stablecoins, permissionless merchant access, conversational commerce, machine payments, trust, and the open vs closed systems debate.
An incredible conversation moderated by @redoudouM today!
Open agentic commerce is early. Closed-loop systems are 100x the volume today. The infrastructure to close that gap is being built now.
Sam Ragsdale (@samrags_), Kevin Leffew (@Kleffew94), Alfonso Gomez Jordana Manas (@alfongj), and Viraj Gupta (@stripe), moderated by Redwan Meslem (@redoudoum) on assembling the agent payments stack:
