Validating public Blockchains is a source of revenue for banks, and adds a layer of trust to public chains. There's a concept among banks that they should never validate anything except their own counterparties transaction. This is a misreading of the concept. It confuses Blockchain validation for payments authentication in the existing banking system. When in reality that happens a layer above the Blockchain in public chains. Transactions by the time they reach a chain are either directly from a customer (self custody) or from another institution. Networks like SWIFT, Notebene, and Ubyx enable trust lines to pre check transactions before sending them to a chain. Any compliance obligations can be handled post transaction by the issuer of the stablecoins (which is the standard GENIUS and MiCA have evolved towards). The chain itself is then a public utility. "Validation" is the act of helping reconcile all of the transactions. This is what reduces the operational burden for all parties involved and delivers programmable, 24/7, global payments. And that needs to be resilient, bank grade infrastructure that operates 24/7. Banks are doing this today but not getting paid for it. Validation is their path to monetize the type of vendor

The panel on "Re-engineering Global Money Rails: APAC, Interoperability & Scale" just wrapped at @leapeast and what a conversation it was. 🙌 Our Global CEO @50Nent (Nenter Chow) joined an incredible group of minds on the Orbital Stage at HKCEC to dig into the future of #crypto-enabled# cross-border payments, interoperability, and what it takes to build financial infrastructure at scale across APAC and beyond. A huge thank you to our fellow panelists: • Elliott Gotkine (@ElliottGotkine) for moderating with sharp, incisive questions • Nicole Sandler, Chief Ecosystem Officer at @ubyx_ • Dr. Yanan Wu, Chairman & CEO at @SurfinMeta • Colin Payne, Head of Innovation at @TheFCA The conversation was real, the room was packed, and the ideas were bold. This is exactly the kind of dialogue that moves the industry forward. 📍 Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre #LEAPEast#
