Two years ago, we published our insurance policy when no one would.
Today, we’re sharing our newest insurance upgrade brought to us by Native.
On October 1, @dfnsHQ moved its insurance program to @LloydsofLondon. Both policies are now backed by Lloyd’s syndicates @Mosaic1609 and @markel_ger.
☑️ Technology and cyber: Coverage increased 4x, from $2.8M to $11.2M with Mosaic.
☑️ Crime: $11.2M in coverage, led by Mosaic and supported by Markel.
✅ Total coverage: Increased from $13.9M → $22.3M worldwide, covering DFNS and its subsidiaries.
Also: The two policies have separate limits, so a claim under one does not reduce the other.
What hasn’t changed? 𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘴. It is 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 and it 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝘀𝗶𝘇𝗲. Exclusions still apply, and we’re happy to walk clients through the details.
▶️ What’s next: We’re arranging additional coverage and will announce it soon.
We’re also working with leading actors on specie insurance designed for multi-party compitation (MPC).
Clients can request the insurance certificate and policy wording under NDA.
We believe insurance should be clear, verifiable and part of taking responsibility for the risks we manage.
That’s what onchain core banking is for.

A euro version was overdue. Almost all onchain cash management is in dollars, which doesn't work for a European treasurer who doesn't want FX risk on the liquidity buffer.
@ArchaxEx today announced €GOVY, a euro-denominated version of its perpetual tokenised government bill product, on the Stellar network.
Announced at #Meridian2026.

The detail that matters: same rights as the original security, and the token can move back to classic form. Tokenization as an upgrade of market infrastructure, not a parallel system. Hard to call this a pilot anymore.
Today, @The_DTCC launched its Tokenization Service 🇺🇸
It’s worth pausing on what this day is.
DTC replaced paper certificates with electronic records in 1973. Today, it’s bringing securities 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 while preserving existing rights and protections.
With over $114 trillion in custody, this is how market infrastructure upgrades, and more importantly, this is what leadership looks like 👏
The Tokenizaton Service (DTS) allows DTC to issue tokenized versions of the securities they hold in custody. These tokens have the same ownership rights and investor protections as the initial securities, and can move in between classic and tokenized form.
20 DTC Participants have already signed on as the first batch.
@dfnsHQ is proud to be among the 15 official partners and distributors 🤝
We now support DTS on @CantonNetwork and DTCC’s Besu network:
☑️ On Canton, you can use DFNS-operated validators or connect your own. DFNS indexes and decodes tokenized securities, and enables pre-approved deliveries and settlement against cash.
☑️ On Besu, you can connect your own network and hold, receive and transfer tokenized securities. Every transaction is checked against their policies before signing.
✅ On both networks, financial institutions can track balances and transactions, receive real-time triggers, webhooks and keep a single audit trail for every operation.
Tokenized securities are moving into regulated markets, and institutions need a secure way to manage them under their own controls, no matter the network used for settlement.
We’re honored to work with DTCC and the wider industry to make that possible.

🇯🇵 In Japan, trust is built over decades.
NEC has spent more than 125 years building it with financial institutions.
Today, @NEC_jp and @dfnsHQ are partnering to explore digital asset infrastructure for Japanese financial institutions 🤝
The two companies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore how DFNS can fit into NEC’s systems, including its planned custody offering.
The goal is to help Japanese institutions adopt digital assets without compromising their security, compliance, data residency or existing systems.
The partnership will focus on three areas:
1️⃣ Integrating DFNS wallets, key management, policies and transaction management into NEC’s digital asset infrastructure.
2️⃣ Adapting the platform to Japanese regulations and each institution’s security and operating requirements.
3️⃣ Supporting different deployment models, from SaaS to hybrid and fully on-premises, including air-gapped environments.
Institutions will be able to keep their keys, data and operations in Japan, in line with their requirements.
NEC will also explore support for digital securities alongside crypto assets, helping institutions develop new digital asset services.
That’s what onchain core banking is for.

Meridian starts in Lisbon tomorrow.
In 2019 we issued BB1, the first BaFin-approved tokenized bond, on @StellarOrg. Back then the most common question was: why put a bond on a blockchain?
Seven years later we're still building on Stellar, with several live projects. Curious what this year brings.

Trade finance is one of the best fits for tokenization that nobody talks about: short-dated, high volume, paper-heavy. Real-economy working capital moving onchain beats another tokenized treasury fund.
BREAKING: PrimeRevenue is bringing Electronic Time Drafts to Solana.
The global leader in working capital solutions takes its first step in bringing traditional trade finance onchain, connecting its network of 50,000 companies and 100+ funding partners to internet capital markets.

16 issuers, including Microsoft, Alphabet and Goldman Sachs, have now objected to third parties tokenizing their shares for the planned OKX-ICE venue.
Tokenization without the issuer is a wrapper, not a share.
The telling detail: the updated notice now also lets issuers tokenize their own stock. That's the model that lasts.
Which big issuer goes first?

I started my career in London in 2008, in sales & trading at Deutsche Bank.
The year the old financial system nearly broke.
Last December at Breakpoint in Abu Dhabi, I saw $BITBOND up on the big screen, right next to tokenized solana:XsbEhLAtcf6HdfpFZ5xEMdqW8nfAvcsP5bdudRLJzJp and $GOOGLX.
The markets I started in closed at 4:30. Internet Capital Markets never do.
Now Breakpoint is coming to London. 18 years later, I'm going back to the city where it all started for me, to see what markets are turning into.
This time I'm bringing the Bitbond team from Berlin 🇩🇪 After a year of Solana Summit Germany and the Solana Salons with @SuperteamDE, it'll feel a bit like a home game.
If you've never been: come. It's the one week a year the whole ecosystem comes together.
📍 15–17 Nov · Olympia, London
