👇 A Recap 👇

Different stakeholders, different buzzwords - same bullish optimism

All in all, the DAF was a very good event. The 'less hoodies to suits' ratio certainly gave me a much deeper appreciation of the challenges many institutional participants face. 

Below are some takeaways: 

👉 Enhancements in capital infra to fast-track mainstream vault adoption. 
Attendees were generally bullish about RWA strategies and curated vault investment products.

👉 Too many new stablecoin issuers popping up. Institutions need more frameworks that evaluate them in order to mitigate risk.

👉 Irish regulation re. fund tokenization criticized - golden opportunity for Ireland if they follow Luxembourg's example

👉 Lot of love for Canton's institutional-grade privacy

👉 More and more hedge funds will ape into Bitcoin. Institutions see Ethereum as 'the place' for stablecoin liquidity. To many surprise, I barely heard Solana mentioned across the two days. 

👉 Quote of the week: "Every regulation is a business opportunity. There's no such thing as overregulation".

👉 Many institutional players are faced with the classic 'innovator's dilemma' scenario - be early and adopt the rails or face a lot of short term headaches. Regulatory and operational ambiguity across the digital asset ecosystem were discussed at length. 

👉 Lots of interesting conversations were had e.g should smart contracts play a custodial role?! should Coinbase launch their own stablecoin? Is Tempo under/overvalued at $5billion? Crowley or Prendergast at No.10? etc. 

👉 Top marks to Diego Borgo and Daniel Cushing who delivered a branding masterclass There, they explored various strategies and case studies on how to stand out in a crowded market and in turn, how you create a category within a category. Highly recommend you watch it on Youtube when uploaded. 

👉 Many institutional players are faced with the classic 'innovator's dilemma' scenario - be early and adopt the rails or face a lot of short term headaches. Regulatory and operational ambiguity across the digital asset ecosystem were discussed at length.

👉 VCs are warming to quantum narratives 

👉 Why on earth would you launch a token right now!!

👉 AI agents will be stablecoin native. Some of the 'crypto natives' present seemed excited about ERC8004.

👉 London side events rock - special thanks to Bybit/Komainu and Nexus Mutual/ @Native for two great side events.

👉 A good MC is key to audience engagement. Shoutout to Oisin Lunny and Michael Graham for doing an amazing job!!
