Institutions have stopped asking whether tokenization will happen. The questions now are about how. Marc Hegen, CTO of 21X, the first licensed DLT trading and settlement system in the EU, joins Alex N. on High Stakes to talk about what changed. A few years ago: will anyone even get licensed to do this? Now: custody, compliance, wallet integration, throughput. That shift raises the bar for the whole stack. A regulated venue can't meet its availability SLAs or incident-reporting deadlines if its infrastructure partners don't. Performance and compliance are one requirement, not two. It's the standard Validation Cloud is built for, and the one 21X holds us to. 🎥 Full episode: https://lnkd.in/gNY-ygpD

They also explore a rapidly approaching challenge: securing a world where AI agents, rather than humans, could execute the majority of blockchain transactions. 🎥 Full episode: https://lnkd.in/gdrftPxQ

Banks don't need to build every layer of the digital asset stack themselves. That was the sharpest takeaway from the latest episode of #HighStakes. Parfin / Rayls CEO Marcos Viriato's playbook: banks keep control of custody and their business logic — and lean on specialized providers for infrastructure like blockchain nodes. Marcos joined our CEO Alex N. to discuss: → How institutions are striking the build-vs-buy balance → Why stablecoins have created new urgency inside banks → Where collateral mobility fits in the next phase of adoption 🎥 Watch the full episode: https://lnkd.in/g_AB9Tyc #DigitalAssets #Stablecoins #BlockchainInfrastructure #Banking #Tokenization

Market makers are the most scrutinized actors in crypto — and CEO Xin Song's answer at GSR is to make trust the product. Four years earning a license from Singapore's MAS, hard lines on market integrity, regulation treated as a competitive advantage rather than a cost: a culture that attracts talent and unlocks the institutions everyone else is still pitching. On #HighStakes, he tells our co-founder Alex N. why trust is the real imperative of this next era of digital assets.
