Who's in control of stablecoin infrastructure? A look at how responsibility for a stablecoin is divided between the parties behind it, and what that means for the people building and using them. On stage: Andrew Rizkalla (Universal) @0xjayzero (M0) Kacper Szczesniak (ZK Stables) Moderated by Bibhu Pattnaik (TheStreet) 00:00 Intros 02:23 Who controls a stablecoin? 05:49 Risks of third-party infrastructure 06:41 Building a stablecoin versus partnering 10:16 Can stablecoins be truly decentralized? 13:44 Stablecoins in three to five years

Can private credit scale onchain? Onchain capital opens private credit to more investors, but it does not change the quality of the loans behind it. On this topic, we had on stage: @doubtfulorigin (SPICE) Justas Pangonis (Alcum) @Thiblabs (Maven11) Moderated by @SPQR74 (CREDI) 00:00 Intros 02:42 Biggest obstacle to onchain scale 06:12 Why investors pick onchain credit 12:15 Educating investors about private credit 18:25 What happens when borrowers default 22:53 How much tokenization really matters 24:04 What breaks first with $100M 27:44 Private credit: overhyped vs underrated

Institutions have stopped asking how to fit into DeFi. They ask on-chain finance to automate into what they already do. Zest Protocol founder @TychoOnnasch on how Bitcoin Collateral Vaults are built for this shift.

Scaling real-world assets on-chain requires more than moving numbers to a ledger. It demands robust risk management, rigorous origination structures, and a clear understanding of real-world legal constraints. At @DeFinition_evt, our co-founder @doubtfulorigin took the stage alongside Thibault Labidi (@M11Credit) and Justas Pangonis (@AlcumOfficial), in a panel moderated by Alessio Marinelli (@credilabs), to unpack a fundamental question: "Can private credit actually scale on-chain?" The core takeaway: Scaling isn't about rushing volume; it’s about building digital credit infrastructure that institutions can verify, trust, and rely on in real time. Thank you to the @AccountableData team for organizing a event focused on candid, unscripted industry discussions, and to our fellow panelists for sharing the stage.

Market structure in crypto is taking a new shape. The conversation centered on whether putting trading, custody, and credit all under one roof actually benefits institutions, or mainly benefits the firms offering it. On stage: @dlawant (Anchorage Digital) @stefwynendaele (Keyrock) @joshua_j_lim (FalconX) Moderated by @fintechfrank (GSR) 00:00 Intros 03:23 Bundling trading and custody creates conflicts 04:51 TradFi's real interest is tokenization 07:17 Why TradFi capital has stayed away 17:37 Filling crypto's post-FTX credit gap 21:31 Could market makers dominate tokenized stocks 24:03 Most overrated and underrated trends

DeFinition was one of the highlights of our Singapore week 🇸🇬 Alessio Marinelli, our founder & CEO, was invited to talk with FintechTV about the future of private credit and bringing institutional capital onchain. Thank you @AccountableData and @DeFinition_evt for having us. Watch a part of it below, full interview.

Aquanow’s Andrew Rizkalla spoke with @FINTECHTVglobal about issuer accountability and how @Universal_USDU's CBUAE-registration supports confidence in regulated stablecoins. Watch the full interview: #Aquanow# #Stablecoins#

Who wins the institutional infrastructure race? The panel weighed whether today's crypto-native builders can hold onto institutional infrastructure, or if TradFi will eventually take the landscape over. On stage: @TychoOnnasch (Zest Protocol) @nihal_maunder (HSG) @ManoppoMarco (SharpByte Capital) @melmelmelting (Spartan Group) Moderated by @JonathanGieg (Pantera Capital) 00:00 Intros 01:14 What institutional buyers want now 04:31 HSG's crypto investment strategy 05:56 What's driving crypto M&A deals 09:04 Why L2s are shutting down 16:41 Do institutions pay for decentralization 20:56 Which crypto startup to build next

Was a pleasure to moderate the panel with the leading curators in the space. Go check it out if you wanna learn more how their day to day looks like and if you are a protocol, what are the requirements to work with them.

What does a curator actually do? Three curators explained where their approaches diverge, and the TVL and borrow demand a new asset needs before it gets accepted as collateral. On stage: @LucasOutumuro (Sentora) Fernando Sobrini (Bitwise) @Adownski (Gauntlet) Moderated by @WojtekP (Accountable) 00:00 The daily work of a curator 07:30 How the three firms differ 15:46 Minimum TVL required for listing 18:48 Using balance sheets to cover losses 22:37 Why borrow demand determines listing 23:43 Regulation's threat to permissionless DeFi

"We reserve up to 50% of premiums to ensure when we’re heading into the highest-risk periods of the year, we can cover most of those losses immediately." Co-Founder + CSO @Ayyanrahman at @DeFinition_evt on premium reserving within OnRe’s broader approach to capital protection ↓

Lending markets have become one of DeFi's clearest examples of product-market fit. For real-world assets, they open up borrowing and looping strategies onchain. Centrifuge's @adam_bawi made the case on the @DeFinition_evt panel.

There's a trust problem in yield-bearing stablecoins. Four different yield models were explained in detail, alongside the defenses in place for when losses actually occur. On stage: @Ayyanrahman (OnRe) @DrPayFi (Huma) @tarungupta1475 (Coinshift) @MarcoPagnini2 (Pelican Investments) Moderated by @OnigiriGP (Onigiri Capital) 00:00 Intros 03:02 Reinsurance claims and loss reserves 05:55 Huma's 3 layers of transparency 09:12 Coinshift's liquidity coverage ratio 11:20 Verifying yield, audits, tail risk 21:18 Why Madoff and Terra Luna collapsed 26:01 What's next for allocators

had fun joining this panel on how we make RWAs more investable. imo the biggest gap today is liquidity. without sufficient liquidity to trade, borrow against, and exit these assets, tokenisation alone only gets us so far. great chatting with @KarwanLiam05 @chainlink , @0xGabe_ @Securitize, @MontBlancDeFi @NexusMutual, @monad

Couldn't make it to @DeFinition_evt? Check out our Head of BD @MontBlancDeFi's panel alongside @KarwanLiam05 @chainlink, @0xGabe_ @Securitize, and @adam_bawi @centrifuge, moderated by Wei Dao with @monad

RWAs are tokenized. Are they investable? Anyone can put an asset onchain, the real test is whether people can borrow against it, trust its price, and get out when they need to. On stage: @KarwanLiam05 (Chainlink) @0xGabe_ (Securitize) @adam_bawi (Centrifuge) @MontBlancDeFi (Nexus Mutual) Moderated by Wei Dai (Monad Foundation) 00:00 Intros 06:47 Liquidity and redemption cycles 10:33 Distribution and who's buying 17:36 Oracles and 24/7 pricing 26:11 Who holds the risk 32:49 Tokenized equities
