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.
@davieball@genomecomputer and in 18months, the company collapse and your whole sequencing is sold to PE or some “non profit”. Until this can be done on open-source software’s with user full data sovereignty none of those products should even be authorized.

Bringing institutions and Web3 builders into the same room is exactly why EEA exists. On Ethereum, the standardization work to enable agent payments onchain is already underway.
Redwan Meslem (@RedoudouM), Executive Director @EntEthAlliance, on why agentic payments is now a big topic:
Great to have a new engineering group focusing on adoption and other topics.
Structured as a non profit I wonder how you are going to get revenue ?
Ive seen the funding fatigue from Developer tooling guild or also some of the protocol guild.
you might have runway for 2/3 years what's next ?
NEW: Chainlink & multinational banking consortia launch Project Pangea to develop a novel solution redefining international FX markets.
Pangea brings together 50+ banks, representing $10+ trillion AUM, to unlock T+0 cross-border settlement via Chainlink & ISO 20022 standards 🧵
in the 90s floppy disks with PGP were considered “amunitions” and by printing the code on books activists spread the knowledge.
What will it be in 2026?
A short history of how we got here, because the chronology is the whole story.
January: the Pentagon demands unrestricted use of Claude for autonomous weapons and domestic surveillance. Anthropic says no.
February: the President orders every federal agency to drop Anthropic. The Defense Secretary bans Pentagon contractors from doing business with them. A rival announces its classified-network deal within hours.
March: the Pentagon designates an American company a "supply chain risk" under a statute written for foreign adversaries. A federal judge blocks it.
May: the Pentagon signs AI deals with seven companies. Anthropic is not one of them.
June 9: Anthropic releases Fable 5.
June 12: Commerce issues an export control directive over a jailbreak that, by the government's own account, was demonstrated verbally, came with no written explanation, and involves a capability you can get from other publicly available models today.
Two things are true at once.
First: Anthropic spent months marketing Mythos as too dangerous to release. Sam Altman said it was "incredible marketing to say we have built a bomb." The Commerce Department has now formally agreed it is a bomb. If you describe your product as a munition in every press release, eventually a government takes you at your word. They wrote the legal predicate themselves and called it a brand.
Second: we have run this experiment before. In the 90s the government classified encryption as a munition under ITAR. Activists defeated it by printing PGP's source code as a book, because books are protected speech and floppy disks were arms exports. A t-shirt with three lines of RSA Perl was legally a munition. The controls collapsed because math does not stop at customs.
The new wrinkle is the "deemed export" rule: showing controlled technology to a foreign national inside the US counts as exporting it abroad. Which is why Anthropic's own foreign-national employees are now locked out of the model they built. The munition is in the building and the people who made it are not allowed to look at it.
The jailbreak is the paperwork. The refusal was in January.
Open agentic commerce is early. Closed-loop systems are 100x the volume today. The infrastructure to close that gap is being built now.

The pre-game conversation for Vault Summit NYC is now available to watch.
@CharlesJansen (@SPGlobal), @MerlinEgalite (@Morpho), and @RedoudouM (@EntEthAlliance) talked through the themes shaping this Friday's event: vaults, onchain asset management, institutional adoption, and the next phase of DeFi infrastructure.
Full conversation here: https://t.co/y9WsZcjGbg
4 days until the first edition of @Vault__Summit NYC
No better venue than @NYSE to discuss the future of onchain financial infrastructure
Hosted by @SPGlobal and Morpho
Another day another hack...
As a @thedaofund Fund badge holder, I’m wondering whether we’ve had any conversations with @AnthropicAI Project Glasswing / Mythos teams around @ethereum security.
https://t.co/pg3nJO5vfv
If frontier AI systems are now capable of identifying vulnerabilities across critical software infrastructure, should Ethereum be proactively applying similar approaches to core libraries, clients, ERCs, wallets, bridges, staking infra, and major DeFi contracts?
Ethereum secures ~$250B+ in value. It feels like this should at least be part of the conversation around long-term security strategy.

🛡️ The results for the @thedaofund’s Ethereum Security QF Round are LIVE!
This historic round is closing with a HUGE last minute contribution:
@wintermute_t has added $200K to the matching pool 🔥
Wintermute is a well known liquidity provider, and one of the leading supporters of Ethereum security, in fact exactly a year ago today they donated $1M to @_SEAL_Org.
This year they teamed up with TheDAO, @Quantstamp & several other community partners to allocate over $1.6M worth of funding to Ethereum Security Public Goods 👇
