Fabio Frontini of Abraxas just put #options# at the top of his list for crypto opportunities. His reasoning: the market is small, fragmented, few market makers, and the volatility surface is inefficient across the board. Inefficiency is alpha for sophisticated funds like Abraxas. Since launching on October 8, 2025, Bullish has quickly grown to become the #2# global venue for #BTC# options with the scale institutions need: 📈 $5B in open interest (CoinDesk data, March 27, 2026) 🗓️ Daily, weekly, monthly & quarterly expiries. 🔄 Portfolio margin across spot, perps, futures, and options, reducing overall margin obligations. Let’s hear Fabio make the case for crypto options. 👇 #Bullish# #Crypto# #Derivatives# #InstitutionalFinance#

Institutional finance runs on reliability, and Injective keeps sharpening the rails. Last month Injective executed another mainnet upgrade, building on June's Vulcan release that added native USDC, new real-world asset markets, and cut oracle gas costs by roughly 90%. Major exchanges supported the upgrade without disrupting trading. Faster settlement, regulated dollars, and institutional-grade market data on one finance-native Layer 1. The infrastructure institutions need is being shipped in public, block by block.

Privacy-preserving technologies are essential to bringing institutional finance on-chain. But institutions also need the governance, analytics, and operational controls to make confidential finance work in practice. With confidential transfers now in public beta on @SuiNetwork, TRM Labs’ Liam Glennon (Head of North America Financial Institutions) spoke with @abhinavg6 about what it takes to make confidential finance practical for regulated institutions: 🔑 Selective disclosure is risk-based: Compliance teams see high- and severe-risk activity by default, routine transactions stay private 🛡️ Keys stay with the guardian: The stablecoin issuer holds the view and audit keys; TRM requests access only under defined governance 🏛️ Privacy and compliance scale together: Real institutional volume moves on-chain when confidential activity fits existing compliance frameworks Read the full conversation on how confidential transfers can work for regulated institutions:

Luis Cuello @TrenchWeb3 has spent nearly a decade in institutional finance. He brought that experience to the Canton Track at Proof of Talk. The Founder and CEO of Minted @tryMinted started at BNP Paribas and Johnson & Johnson, made the full jump to Web3 in 2020, and advised OKX on institutional trading infrastructure. Now he's building the Ownership Abstraction Layer at Minted, with mUSD and smUSD as Canton-native institutional stablecoins designed for the GENIUS Act era and the legal protections institutional allocators need. The Canton Track at Proof of Talk was the right room for the work. Minted joined Proof of Talk 2026 as a Gold Partner, alongside its commitment to the Proof of Excellence program, and Luis took the stage to share what it takes to build payment and yield infrastructure institutions actually use. Thank you, Luis, for being with us.
