Since 2018, I've seen hundreds of digital asset funds launch - deploying strategies ranging from single-asset long only to multi-chain MEV/strat arbs. The pace of new launches is great to see. More telling? The trad asset players looking to not only allocate to crypto sleeves, but also launching crypto funds. ETFs were a great first step, but now is the time to touch the asset. Want to learn more about how robust digital asset infrastructure has become? You know where to find me

Another 'maybe I'll write a quick article on X' which has turned into a report 😅 .... This is a global look at current crypto staking regulation and where we might be heading in 2025. 🚀 🌎 From the UK's technical process classification to Singapore's retail restrictions, and China's outright ban to the SEC vs CFTC debate in the US - there's significant divergence in how different jurisdictions view and regulate staking now and this looks to continue into the year ahead. Here's my analysis of the current landscape and what changes we might see this year for the UK 🇬🇧, US 🇺🇸, Europe 🇪🇺, Singapore 🇸🇬, South Korea 🇰🇷, Hong Kong 🇭🇰, South Africa 🇿🇦, Kenya 🇰🇪, UAE 🇦🇪, China 🇨🇳, Japan 🇯🇵 and Australia 🇦🇺 #cryptoregulation #staking #web3 #blockchain #stakingregulation #crypto

Stablecoins won’t “solve” cross-border payments. But they might redefine them. I’ve been in the room for this conversation before. When I was Vice Chairman of SWIFT UK, the existential threat on everyone’s mind was Ripple. The result? SWIFT gpi — and it worked. 💨 90% of cross-border payments now reach the destination bank in under one hour. So speed of execution isn’t the issue. The final 10%? Those are mostly compliance holds: sanctions screening, fraud flags, name mismatches. And stablecoins won’t magically fix that. As regulation catches up (a good thing, the GENIUS Act can’t pass soon enough), they’ll need the same intelligent checks. The real bottleneck is when the money lands: Only ~43% of recipients are credited in under an hour. Why? Because the system isn’t 24x7. It’s not even 24x5. It’s a maze of cut-off times, time zones, and settlement windows across multiple banks, rails, and markets. That’s where stablecoins change the game: ✅ 24x7 rails ✅ 24x7 settlement ✅ 24x7 funds availability And while people can legitimately argue about the value of stablecoins in G10 markets, the rest of the world is already using them. In markets with hyperinflation or capital controls, stablecoins aren’t theoretical — they’re practical, and valuable. We’re seeing this firsthand with our customers. That said, there is a potential credible response. If SWIFT can evolve from “trackable” to true 24x7 settlement, it could change everything. It would require industry-wide collaboration and serious urgency. But it’s not impossible — I’ve seen the organization move fast when it had to. The question is: can they move fast enough? With stablecoin momentum accelerating, I’m skeptical. ––– 💬 Curious where others land: Are stablecoins a real threat to the SWIFT model — or the wake-up call that reinvents it? #Payments #Stablecoins #CrossBorder #SWIFT #Fintech
