When Morgan Stanley, SoFi, and Apollo Global Management, Inc. invest $104M in zerohash while also being customers, it confirms what we're seeing across financial services: embedded finance can't wait for internal build cycles anymore. This deal tells us more about embedded finance than most people realize. Let me walk through what's actually happening and why it matters. (1) Customers becoming investors signal an urgent need When your customer also invests in your company, they're solving an immediate problem. Morgan Stanley and SoFi need crypto capabilities now. Building this internally would take them years. Partnering gets them to market faster. (2) Infrastructure partnerships are the practical choice Traditional banks can't build crypto capabilities internally at the speed they need. The regulatory requirements and technical complexity require specialized teams. This mirrors what we see across financial services - companies use infrastructure providers instead of building everything in-house. (3) Regulatory changes enabled institutional movement Recent SEC leadership changes and crypto-friendly legislation gave institutions clarity to move forward on building the ecosystem. Infrastructure providers like Zerohash proved they can handle compliance at scale. Now everyone's racing to add financial services to their customer experience. - - - If this acceleration is happening in crypto - the newest, most complex financial vertical - then traditional embedded finance is moving even faster. The demand is already there. We might see this play out faster than we think.

JPMorgan burns $47M yearly just on board governance. The most expensive part of running a public company isn't salaries or R&D. It's people checking other people's work. This is what's replacing this $500B industry: I've sat on 2 public boards. The governance process is fascinating but intensive. Quarterly meetings. Committee reviews. Compliance checks. All necessary protections built after Enron. But something transformative is happening: Blockchain creates instant transparency. No waiting for quarterly reports. No manual audit trails. No delayed discoveries. Every transaction visible in real-time. This changes the entire game: Traditional governance works in cycles: Review last quarter's numbers. Flag issues weeks after they happen. React to problems already past. On-chain systems show everything as it happens. The efficiency gain is massive: Smart contracts encode rules directly. Treasury movements execute automatically. Compliance becomes programmatic. Verification happens instantly. What took weeks now takes hours: This isn't theoretical anymore. DeFi protocols manage billions with complete transparency. Every vote recorded. Every transfer tracked. Every decision public. The implications for corporate governance are profound: Boards can focus on strategy instead of verification. Human judgment for complex decisions. Automated systems for routine compliance. The best of both worlds working together: The speed difference transforms competition: Traditional processes measure in weeks. Blockchain systems measure in hours. First movers gain massive advantages: Stablecoin treasuries showcase this perfectly. Regulated digital dollars. Instant settlement. Complete transparency. Institutional-grade yields. Treasury management entering a new era: Forward-thinking institutions already see this. They're positioning in stablecoin credit markets. Getting blockchain efficiency with regulatory clarity. The convergence is accelerating: At Brava.Finance, we bridge these worlds. Managed funds for wealth advisors. Access to stablecoin yields. Blockchain transparency meets institutional standards. The future of treasury management, available today: The governance transformation creates opportunity. Digital treasury markets growing rapidly. New yield sources emerging. Early adopters capturing value. Managing $500M+? Let's explore your options. Ready to stay ahead of finance's biggest shift? Connect with Brava.Finance for stablecoin treasury strategies.

The FCA’s move on fund tokenisation a welcome step, but the real work begins now. Today’s announcement feels like a shift from watchful observer to enabler in waiting. The Financial Conduct Authority isn’t rewriting the rulebook but it’s giving fund managers the space to experiment, and that’s meaningful. They’re clarifying how tokenised fund registers can operate under existing rules (the Blueprint model), proposing a new “direct-to-fund” model, and signalling a path toward on-chain settlement. It’s guidance, not mandate but it shows intent. Still, key gaps remain: custody, settlement, interoperability. Real progress will depend on how HM Treasury, the Bank of England, and the industry move next. Regulators can guide but firms must execute. At AssetPass, we see this as a moment to lean in not cautiously, but strategically: 👉 Pilot, don’t wait. 👉 Build modular, future-proof token models. 👉 Bridge legacy systems. 👉 Engage early and often. 👉 Educate investors. 👉 Play the long game the real unlock comes when tokenisation meets digital cash and on-chain custody. This doesn’t flip the switch but it does turn on a stronger light in the hallway. For us, that’s the cue to move from plan to prototype and help define what “tokenised fund native” really means. Tokenisation will reshape fund infrastructure but trust and compliance must underpin it. AssetPass enables firms to stay ahead of regulation, safeguard client assets, and ensure digital wealth can be passed on securely when it matters most. 🔗 “FCA supports tokenisation to boost efficiency and innovation in asset management” #DigitalAssets #Tokenisation #Innovation #FundManagement #AssetPass Paul Rossini Chris White Darren Last Abby Ewen Tony McKenna Jonathan Maskew Ruth Marsh TEP - Partner and Head of Private Client Services Stuart Downey (TEP) Charlotte Hill STEP – Advising Families Across Generations The Law Society Legal IT Insider

The future of fund structures won’t be black or white. It’ll be hybrid. Private markets used to live in two worlds: Closed-end funds: commit capital, invest for 7–10 years, exit, distribute, done. Open-ended funds (Evergreen): investors come in and out over time, capital keeps compounding. But the reality is starting to blur. We’re now seeing a new generation of hybrid structures. Funds that borrow traits from both. For example: Closed-end style capital commitments, but with periodic entry and exit windows. Long-term portfolios, but with partial liquidity. Fixed investment periods, but recycled capital. These structures are spreading across private credit, infrastructure, and secondaries, where cash flows are predictable and investors want a balance between yield and access. The trend is clear: every year, more funds shift toward evergreen or semi-evergreen models. Why? Because investors want flexibility without losing exposure, and managers want long-term stability without constant fundraising. Now, here’s where it gets interesting for fund services and investor services: Fund administrators will need tech that can handle frequent valuations, rolling subscriptions, and ongoing liquidity management. Custodians will need to monitor dynamic NAV-based pricing and ever-changing asset positions. Investor servicing teams will face more complex onboarding, reporting, and AML refresh cycles. In short, evergreen and hybrid funds don’t just change the fund; they change the entire operating ecosystem around it. Question for you: As the lines blur between open- and closed-end models, do you think fund service providers are ready for the operational demands of evergreen structures? Or will the industry need a new generation of AI-driven infrastructure to support them? #AlternativeInvestments #EvergreenFunds #HybridFunds #PrivateMarkets #FundAdministration #InvestorServices #FundOperations #FundStructures #AI #DigitalTransformation #WealthManagement #Custody
