💥 Google enters the tokenization race with its own blockchain 👇 Rich Widmann, Head of Web3 Strategy at Google, announced the launch of Google Cloud Universal Ledger (GCUL) — a novel Layer 1 designed for financial institutions. Key features: high performance, credibly neutral infrastructure, and Python-based smart contracts. CME Group is the first partner to integrate, having completed phase one testing of GCUL for wholesale payments and asset tokenization. Direct market participant testing starts later this year, with commercial services expected in 2026. ➡️ Why this matters Institutional blockchain adoption is shaped by competitive dynamics: rivals rarely use each other’s rails. - Tether won’t build on Circle’s blockchain. - Adyen won’t transact on Stripe’s blockchain. But any financial institution can build on GCUL. That neutrality could prove decisive. Will GCUL become the backbone for banks and asset managers? Stay tuned. ✅ Want learn more about business of digital assets and tokenization?

Web3 Protocols Worldwide ⤵ Protocols are quietly becoming the backbone of new digital infrastructure across the globe. What started as isolated blockchain experiments is now evolving into something more foundational - especially as stablecoins and decentralized networks begin to replace traditional financial rails in some regions. Let’s look at the data: 1/ ➠ Global Presence of Protocols ➝ Protocols are shaping the future of technology with worldwide adoption. Here’s the global distribution based on the report: ↳ 30% in North America ↳ 25% in Europe ↳ 20% in Asia ↳ 15% in Latin America ↳ 10% in other regions ➝ Diverse protocols in different regions demonstrate tailored solutions for local needs. 2/ ➠ Key Regions and Leading Protocols ➝ The United States remains an innovation hub with protocols like DYX and ARBITRUM. ➝ Europe, especially Switzerland and Liechtenstein, boasts Solana, Polkadot, and Radix. ➝ Asia's frontrunners, such as China and Singapore, highlight protocols like Conflux, NEO, and Monero. 3/ ➠ Crypto Hubs and Emerging Markets ➝ The United Kingdom stands out with Flux and Radix, benefiting from a strong financial ecosystem. ➝ The Middle East, including the UAE and Israel, showcases IOTA and Starkware. ➝ Latin America, particularly Argentina and Brazil, features protocols like Rootstock and Sia. 4/ ➠ Collaborations and Ecosystems ➝ Partnerships are driving growth through cross-border collaborations. ➝ Foundations like Crypto Oasis and INACTA are strengthening the global ecosystem. ---   If you're only watching the usual suspects - you're already behind. The protocols you’re ignoring today may shape the infrastructure of the next decade. ▶ Where will future hubs evolve? ▶ What does it mean when going beyond finance? (Supply chain, etc.)▶ What’s the next big Web3 city? ▶ Is there another sleeping giant of Web3? // Repost this ⇄ // Source: https://lnkd.in/d2sMTdDy // Follow me for daily posts on emerging tech and growth: https://lnkd.in/gqzS_9Tf

Everyone wants to tokenize assets. Few are truly ready to operate them at scale. Tokenization isn’t a future bet anymore. It’s the infrastructure benchmark. But once we review underlying systems — especially compliance and lifecycle logic — the story often changes. Here’s what still surfaces across audits and consultations: - Jurisdiction-agnostic smart contracts - Missing lifecycle governance - No audit hooks or cross-border enforcement This isn’t about bad intent. It’s about the growing complexity that most teams haven’t yet operationalized Today’s resilient systems are doing things differently: -> Built with embedded legal logic -> Adaptable to SEC, MiCA, and APAC evolution -> Equipped with AI-based anomaly detection and policy automation We’ve helped enterprise teams build: - Smart contracts that know where they operate - Rule engines that auto-enforce across regions - Audit visibility that works in real-time — and across chains Because tokenized assets = regulated assets. And in regulated environments: Compliance isn’t an add-on. It’s the design layer. So here’s the real question: Is your infrastructure designed to inspire long-term trust—or is it vulnerable to regulatory friction at scale? Drop your perspective in the comments.

Everyone talks about Ethereum’s direct impact — DeFi, ETH as a token, NFTs, staking, and smart contracts. But we dont talk about its indirect impact, especially on young people like Onome — who are able to learn, build, and earn because of the tools Ethereum has enabled or inspired. Ethereum isn’t just a blockchain. It’s a catalyst. It has inspired: Developers learning Solidity and building open protocols Founders launching decentralized tools for real-world use Researchers experimenting with ZKSync, optimistic rollups, and zero-knowledge proofs DAOs redefining how communities coordinate A generation obsessed with transparency, trustlessness, and permissionless innovation And this is only scratching the surface: ▪️ A dozen client teams. ▪️ 12,000+ nodes. ▪️ Thousands of developers. ▪️ A DeFi ecosystem bigger than all others combined. ▪️ The Merge. ▪️ Adoption by Visa, BlackRock, Sony, UBS... Ethereum isn’t just tech. It’s a philosophy — a belief in a world where value can be freely transmitted, where no one can stop you from creating, sharing, or innovating. 10 years of Ethereum. More decades to come. If you want to learn more about how Ethereum is supporting builders like Onome (and me :), and helping people turn curiosity into a career.

We use “tokenization” too loosely. Semantics matter when you’re building market infrastructure. 1️⃣ Asset-Backed (Tokenized): A traditional real-world asset is represented by a token. The asset stays off-chain; the token is a digital claim via custody/nominee. 𝘌𝘹𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘴: PE fund interests; corporate green bonds; carbon credits where tokens reflect custody/registry data. 2️⃣ Natively Digital: The asset is issued and exists only on-chain. No off-chain twin to “tokenize.” 𝘌𝘹𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘴: a private equity feeder fund issued directly as digital securities; investments into new-build vessels in energy shipping; all as programmable on-chain vehicles with cap table, distributions, and servicing executed on-chain. This isn’t theoretical; both pathways operate today within licensed setups. All of the above examples were executed by EVIDENT. Why it matters: the choice drives legal structuring, servicing workflows, and settlement rails. Which, in turn, unlocks different levels of efficiency. Both models will run in parallel for years—market infrastructure evolves slowly and regulation lags innovation. 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹: 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.
