Speaking later today at the closed roundtable at the Ethereum Institutional Summit @eis_eth, held under the Chatham House Rule. Looking forward to contributing @KnightIntelco's perspective on regulatory frameworks for emerging financial infrastructure, particularly around cross-border interoperability, identity, trust, and accountability as public blockchain infrastructure increasingly intersects with regulated finance. Thank you, Yudai Suzuki @9dai_5 for the invitation and for bringing this discussion together. 6:00 PM JST. 🇯🇵

You got a question right there @catmanyau ! I actually wrote about this for Open Banker, a Washington, D.C. financial-policy publication, in an article on the CLARITY Act and cross-border trust. My view is that regulation and tooling can move relatively quickly. But neither automatically creates institutional trust. We spent the last decade making money easier to move: APIs, open banking, stablecoins, real-time payments, blockchain settlement. Regulatory frameworks are also beginning to make participation easier to define. That was essentially the argument of my article: as money becomes increasingly interoperable, trust remains localized. And ironically, clearer regulation may expose that…

We really are in the early days. Even “AiFi” as a category is only beginning to take shape. And this is exactly the intersection @KnightIntelco has been sitting in since day one, ~10 months ago: using AI to bridge TradFi and Web3. That means touching systems that historically haven’t spoken particularly well to each other - across financial rails, institutions, asset classes, and jurisdictions that don’t share a common trust or interoperability layer. It gets even more interesting with modern financial lives. Someone’s economic history today might span payroll, crypto, e-commerce, creator income, wallets, multiple banks and multiple countries. Institutions can access pieces of that picture,…

For everyone who discovered $Knight through our slightly messy entrance into the trenches 2 weeks ago howdyyy 😂👋 Plot twist: we are actually a fintech. @KnightIntelco is an AI-native trust intelligence bridging Web2 + Web3, and I’m the founder and system architect of our cross-border financial intelligence. V1 is here. KYA is coming next! You unfortunately entered the story in the middle of a season finale. Enjoy the show. 😉🐎
