ETHSofia · Oct 6, 2026

With Candice Teo (Espoir Communications, moderator), Alvaro Garrido Mesa (LegalNode) and Krzysztof Paruch (Token Engineering Labs). What does the law require, and what does the system design require, before institutions put real-world assets on Ethereum at scale? Moderator Candice Teo opens with the state of the market, including Ethereum's roughly $17 billion in tokenised RWAs, then works through failure points with lawyer Alvaro Garrido Mesa and token engineer Krzysztof Paruch. They cover redemption mismatches when a token trades 24/7 but its underlying asset does not, why SPVs sit behind most tokenisation projects, why the legal contract should override the code when the two disagree, and how ERC-3643 handles investor identity, forced transfers and asset recovery without solving liability. In closing, Paruch names explicit governance and accountability as his non-negotiable and Garrido Mesa names jurisdiction, while stablecoins, commodities such as gold and bonds are called production ready.

In this talk, Rajeev Bamra, who oversees global strategy and operations for the digital economy at Moody's Ratings, addresses the question beneath every institutional capital markets discussion: not which stablecoin is fastest, but which ones are safer, and how you would ever know. He identifies three expensive, measurable problems in traditional financial infrastructure: a mobility problem ($240 trillion in liquidity trapped across hundreds of siloed ledgers designed not to talk to each other), a volume problem (over $100 billion spent every year reconciling data across those ledgers), and a speed problem (over $10 trillion in daily FX turnover exposed to settlement risk because execution and settlement speeds are mismatched). He argues markets are already responding: tokenization can unlock collateral and stablecoins can settle it, shared ledgers can solve reconciliation, and atomic or T+0 settlement can solve speed. US dollar stablecoins are already driving de facto digital dollarization, some issuers hold more US treasury debt than midsize sovereigns, and incumbents are integrating rather than fighting them, so stablecoins have crossed into core infrastructure regulators now signal reserve, redemption, and operational requirements for. Rajeev explains why a credit rating agency cares about stablecoins with a house-buying analogy: you would not hand over your life savings without an independent structural survey, and a credit rating is exactly that, a forward-looking independent opinion of how an issuer performs over time under stress. He lays out four risk buckets for assessing a stablecoin: underlying collateral and reserve quality (bankruptcy-remote segregation, stress scenarios like 30% simultaneous redemption), transaction structure and legal enforceability across jurisdictions, operations and counterparties (who runs the chain, minting and burning, governance, systemic interdependency as stablecoins embed into treasuries and agentic commerce), and technology risk (oracles, smart contract audits, key management, custody, validator concentration). Since no rigorous framework existed, Moody's built one, launching in March 2026 the industry's first cross-sector stablecoin credit rating methodology, applicable to all fiat-backed stablecoins globally and portable across jurisdictions, assessing whether a stablecoin can be redeemed at par on demand under stress. He notes Ethereum stands out as the settlement chain in a future multi-chain economy, and closes on Moody's Token Integration Engine, which turns static credit opinions into programmable onchain signals, making Moody's the only credit rating agency with native onchain presence. 00:00 Introduction 00:12 The Question Beneath Every Capital Markets Debate 00:46 Three Expensive Problems in Financial Infrastructure 01:00 The Mobility Problem: $240 Trillion Trapped 01:15 The Volume Problem: Reconciliation Costs 01:29 The Speed Problem: FX Settlement Risk 01:46 How Markets Are Already Responding 02:17 Stablecoins Driving Digital Dollarization 02:39 From Parallel Ecosystem to Core Infrastructure 03:06 How Regulators Have Noticed 03:46 Why a Rating Agency Cares About Stablecoins 03:56 The House Survey Analogy 04:38 What a Credit Rating Really Is 05:07 The Four Risk Buckets 05:38 Underlying Collateral and Reserve Quality 06:03 Transaction Structure and Legal Enforceability 06:40 Operations and Counterparties 07:15 Technology and Oracle Risk 07:43 Launching the First Stablecoin Rating Methodology 08:14 Redeeming at Par Under Stress 08:39 Why This Is About More Than Stablecoins 09:14 Why This Moment Is Different 09:46 New Asset Types and New Risk Layers 10:14 What Digital Bonds Proved 10:37 What Tokenized Funds Confirmed 11:01 Why Stablecoins Are Growing So Fast 11:24 Why Ethereum Stands Out 11:54 Why the Future Is Multi-Chain 12:07 The Missing Credit Intelligence Layer 12:55 Coming On Chain With Public Ratings 13:20 Introducing the Token Integration Engine 13:56 Moody's Native Onchain Presence 14:22 Closing _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ *ETHConf 2026* ETHConf is a 3 day event for founders, industry leaders, and builders who are excited about the possibilities of building on top of Ethereum.

ETHGlobal · Oct 9, 2025

In this fireside chat at Pragma Cannes 2025, Kartik Talwar and Illia Polosukhin (Near Protocol) explore the intersection of crypto and AI, focusing on decentralization, privacy, and autonomous agents. They discuss how AI can simplify user experiences in crypto, enabling intent-based actions and predictive interfaces. Key challenges include reliability, data privacy, trust, and sovereignty, especially when AI models are controlled by centralized entities. Illia highlights advances in confidential computing (Nvidia Hopper, Intel TDX) that enable secure, verifiable AI computation with minimal overhead, paving the way for decentralized, unstoppable autonomous agents. They delve into integrating AI agents with blockchain via secure enclaves, programmable encryption (chain signatures), and intent-based smart contracts for payments and work. The conversation covers agent communication protocols (AITP), the evolution of user interfaces towards AI-driven, just-in-time experiences, and the broader vision of merging web3 and AI for secure, user-centric applications. 00:00 Introduction 00:46 Overlap of Crypto and AI 01:51 AI-Driven User Experiences 03:09 Reliability and Trust Issues in AI 04:08 Sovereignty and Centralization Risks 05:18 Blockchain Solutions for AI Challenges 06:28 Confidential Computing Advances 07:36 Integrating AI with Blockchain 08:31 Autonomous Agents and Decentralized Cloud 10:07 Legal Contracts, Payments, and Real-World Integration 11:21 Blockchain Network Evolution 12:39 Confidential Compute and Data Privacy 13:31 Programmable Encryption and Chain Signatures 14:38 Personal Memory Boxes and Secure AI Models 15:07 Intents for Payments and Contracts 16:46 Building AI Agents: Near vs. General SDKs 17:44 Agent Communication Protocols (AITP) 18:45 The Future of Interfaces: AI-Driven Experiences 19:44 Closing Remarks _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 🇫🇷 *Pragma Cannes* Pragma Cannes 2025 was held on July 3rd at the Carlton Cannes in Cannes, France and was an in-person summit for builders and leaders in the web3 ecosystem.

In this fireside chat, Vivek Raman, Co-founder of Etherealize, discusses his transition from Wall Street to becoming an Ethereum advocate, emphasizing the need to upgrade—rather than replace—the archaic financial system using Ethereum’s programmable infrastructure. He highlights the recent inflection point driven by ETH ETF approvals and institutional interest, noting BlackRock’s tokenization efforts. Etherealize’s mission is to evangelize Ethereum to Wall Street, facilitate tokenization of real-world assets on Ethereum L1, leverage L2s for scalability, and develop institutional-grade privacy solutions. Raman stresses the importance of avoiding liquidity fragmentation and ensuring interoperability, advocating for assets to reside on Ethereum L1 with L2 customization. He outlines the challenges of legal, regulatory, and privacy hurdles, but sees the current regulatory climate as an unprecedented opportunity. The ultimate goal is to rewire Wall Street’s infrastructure onto Ethereum, unlocking new financial products and utility beyond simple tokenization, and to establish frameworks for compliant on-chain finance. 00:00 Introduction 00:39 Vivek Raman’s Background & Entry into Ethereum 02:24 Transition from Wall Street to Crypto 03:35 Upgrading vs. Replacing Financial Systems 05:04 Institutional Adoption & Inflection Point 07:33 Etherealize’s Mission and Early Days 09:17 Evolving Etherealize: From Evangelism to Product 10:16 Product Focus: Tokenization, L2s, Privacy 11:46 Institutional Reactions & Challenges 13:43 Team Composition: Wall Street Meets Ethereum 14:14 Fragmentation & Liquidity Concerns 16:40 Interoperability & Bridging Solutions 17:07 Beyond Tokenization: Unlocking New Financial Utility 18:34 Legal & Regulatory Challenges in Tokenization 19:36 Frameworks & Regulatory Engagement 20:16 Closing Remarks _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 🇺🇸 *Pragma New York* Pragma New York 2025 was held on August 14th at Vesper Events in Brooklyn, New York and was an in-person summit for builders and leaders in the web3 ecosystem.

ETHBerlin04 May 24-26, 2024, CIC Innovation Campus Keynote: Ameen Soleimani - The Fight for Privacy ETHBerlin04 - https://ethberlin.org - A Department of Decentralization event - https://dod.ngo The video features a speaker at ETH Berlin discussing the importance of privacy and the issues surrounding the Tornado Cash protocol, a privacy tool for cryptocurrency transactions. The speaker gives a historical perspective on military doctrine and relates it to current events in the crypto space, emphasizing the need for individual creativity and caution against designing systems that could be misused by future bad actors. The speaker argues that privacy is essential as governments may abuse power and full surveillance with Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) is looming. They cite how good record-keeping (KYC) facilitated high casualties during the Holocaust as an example of misuse. Tornado Cash, which was funded by MolochDAO, is presented as a necessary tool for preserving privacy in financial transactions. However, it faced legal challenges after being used by North Korean hackers to launder stolen funds. The developers of Tornado Cash were arrested and faced serious charges despite their intent to create a secure, private system. The speaker discusses the legal battles of two developers, Roman Storm and Alexey Pertsev, highlighting the potential overreach of law enforcement and questioning the fairness of holding developers responsible for how their open-source tools are used. They mention various support efforts from the community, including amicus briefs filed on behalf of Tornado Cash devs against
