Building the rails for onchain equity. 🚀CEO & co-founder @fairmint

[Joris🤗 @Joris_DLN]

My wife tried to sign up for a monthly Family plan on @brilliantorg . The option is visible before account creation, but disappeared after signing up leaving only an annual subscription path for checkout.

I fully understand optimizing conversion, but pricing options should remain consistent before & after signup, especially for an education product trusted by families.

Is this intended, or something your team can fix @SueKhim ?

@hiFramework @FortuneMagazine Huge! Congrats 🙌🏻

Really enjoyed yesterday’s TokenizeThis 2026 panel on Operational Efficiencies in Tokenization.

Thank you to @MarcinRedStone, Co-Founder & COO at @redstone_defi, for moderating the conversation, and to Joseph Spiro, Director, Digital Assets Solutions at @The_DTCC, and @GregCig5, Head of Business Development at @ApexGlobalGroup, for bringing such practical perspective to the stage.

The part I keep coming back to is this:

Tokenization will not win because it gives the market better terminology.

It will win when it removes duplicate work, reduces operational uncertainty, and gives institutions cleaner ways to coordinate around ownership, movement, and control of assets.

That is less flashy than a new product launch.

But in capital markets, the less flashy work is often where the most durable infrastructure gets built.

Tokenization gets interesting when it stops being a concept and starts improving how the market actually operates.

This Wednesday, June 24, I’ll be speaking at @TokenizeThisNYC 2026 on “Operational Efficiencies in Tokenization.”

I’ll be joined by @MarcinRedStone, Co-Founder and COO at @redstone_defi, who will moderate the discussion, along with Joseph Spiro, Director, Digital Assets Solutions at @The_DTCC, and @GregCig5, Head of Business Development at @ApexGlobalGroup.

The real test is not whether an asset can be represented onchain.

It is whether the rails make issuance, ownership, compliance, settlement, reporting, and investor operations meaningfully better.

That is where the next chapter of tokenization will be decided.

Looking forward to the conversation.

Live from the @CantonNetwork Builders Forum, hosted by @Fairmint with the support of the @CantonFdn
@viv_diwakar Head of Canton Foundation is leading a great conversation on building the infrastructure for onchain capital markets.

[Canton Strategic Holdings @CantonStrategic]

The Canton ecosystem brings together leading institutions to advance regulated blockchain infrastructure. This week, @CantonStrategic President Mark Toomey will join leaders from @EuroclearGroup and @fairmint at CC Builders Forum to discuss the future of onchain finance.

💯 the accreditation rules are a wealth gate, and they're overdue for a rewrite.

@fairmint laid out how to the SEC in February: qualify by knowledge & verified relationships, not just net worth. Built & ready, not theoretical

It's good to have everyone including you @malekanoms , @brian_armstrong and anyone with a megaphone,
making the same case!

[Joris🤗 @Joris_DLN]

Today, @Fairmint submitted our second set of recommendations to @SECPaulSAtkins and the @SECGov Crypto Task Force.

Our focus: expanding who gets to participate in private markets.

We’ve proposed to modernize accreditation rules, starting with a "Usage Test" that recognizes contribution over net worth.

If you build the product, you should be able to own the equity.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

I think it’s time to revisit the accredited investor laws in the US.

Companies are staying private longer, where only accredited investors (aka rich people!) can invest. Retail investors can only come in after IPO, when much of the upside has already been captured.

These rules were created with the best of intentions, to protect regular people from scams - a noble idea. Unfortunately, in practice they've often made it illegal to get richer, unless you're already rich. A regressive tax!

We have to judge policies based on their outcomes, not on their intentions.

These are two possible routes I see:

1) Replace the rule with something merit-based, like a financial literacy test. Pass it and you're accredited. Having a qualification based on competency rather than your bank balance or income seems far more fair.

2) Remove the rule entirely. Let consenting adults assess their own risk. Disclosure requirements stay and fraud enforcement stays to punish bad actors.

[Paul Atkins @SECPaulSAtkins]

Under my leadership, the SEC is working to Make IPOs Great Again by delivering a comprehensive overhaul of our public company regulatory framework.

Every IPO is an invitation for millions of investors to share in the prosperity of the next generation of American enterprise. 🇺🇸

Your cap table is the story of your company.

But most founders are forced to manage that story through tools that were not built for how companies raise, transfer, and operate ownership today.

I joined Andy Walsh on @StartupsDecoded to talk about why equity infrastructure is still too slow, too expensive, and too fragmented, and how blockchain can help when it is used as better rails, not as a slogan.

The goal for @Fairmint is simple: make ownership easier to manage, easier to transfer, and easier to trust.

Facts!

[Milk Road @milkroaddaily]

Matt Hougan: "If you take out $BTC and you take out stablecoins, what is the market cap of what we're trying to reinvent finance with?"

"It is less than a trillion dollars."

ETH is ~$200B, but from there it falls off a cliff.

The entire DeFi ecosystem trying to recreate global finance has the market cap of half of Micron.

"A relatively small industry going after an enormous addressable market. That's why it's interesting and why it's a contrarian investment."

It takes more time to listen, iterate, and build for customers.
But that’s what makes milestones like this even sweeter! 🚀

👏 Congrats @YuvalRooz @wesarn_real @ShaulKfir & the @digitalasset team !

[Yuval Rooz @YuvalRooz]

Almost 12 years ago, I left @DRWTrading with @wesarn_real to start @digitalasset. @ShaulKfir joined us shortly after. The name felt right. The idea was simple but audacious: build a global settlement system that is asset agnostic. One that doesn’t eliminate banks, exchanges, and intermediaries, but tears down the barriers keeping people from accessing assets and settling at a fraction of today’s cost. A new financial world, built for the end consumer.

We knew institutional adoption was the path. We just didn’t know how long it would take.

We failed. We made bad decisions. There are things we would have done differently. But we never let go of our North Star, even when people around us were convinced we had no idea what we were doing. That focus, conviction, and most of all, patience, led us to launching @CantonNetwork. And the results speak for themselves.

Today is a new chapter in that story.

I’m proud to announce that @a16zcrypto is leading our latest round, joined by some of the giants of the global financial system, including @ABNAMRO, ADIA, @apolloglobal, @BNPParibasCIB, @Broadridge, @citsecurities, @CMEVentures, @cbventures, Green Wolf Asset Management, @Hanwha_Official, @HSBC, @icapitalnetwork, @LCVentures, @OptiverGlobal, @polychain, @R136Ventures, @SPGlobal, @sbigroup, @smash_capital, @SoFi, @Tradeweb, and @WilliamBlair, and others we’ll be naming shortly. Twelve years ago, I could not have imagined building alongside partners of this caliber.

$CC today processes the highest fees of any institutional blockchain network. And we’re just getting started. What’s coming later this year is just as exciting.

None of this happens without the builders, the ones who show up to weekly tokenomics meetings, dial into operations subcommittees, spend nights and weekends building apps on Canton, and show up on @X to cheer this ecosystem forward. You are not just supporters. You are partners. I’m honored to be on this journey with you.

On a personal note: @a16z hits differently for me. Ben’s book The Hard Thing About Hard Things was one I kept coming back to during the hard stretches. Having his firm lead this round is meaningful in a way that’s hard to put into words. So I’ll let him do it:

“The hard thing isn’t setting a big, audacious goal. The hard thing is spending sleepless nights trying to achieve it. The hard thing isn’t dreaming big. The hard thing is waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat when the dream turns into a nightmare. Motivating yourself by watching YouTube shorts or Instagram reels isn’t the hard thing. The hard thing is working every day and being consistent even if you feel like shit. The hard thing isn’t boasting you could achieve anything. The hard thing is working like hell to achieve something. The hard thing isn’t believing in yourself. The hard thing is getting things done when nobody believes in you, even when you doubt yourself. The hard thing isn’t telling yourself that you must achieve the impossible. The hard thing is toiling hard every day for years despite knowing that success is too uncertain.”
