Tomorrow Sophia Lopez will be moderating a panel at GFTN Forum Japan.

From 4:00 to 5:30pm in Roundtable Room 2 at Bellesalle 5F, we'll be working through three of the most consequential questions in digital assets right now:

→ How is the underlying blockchain and interoperability infrastructure actually maturing?
→ How are regulators, compliance officers, and exchanges coordinating across jurisdictions?
→ And what does real-world adoption data tell us that the theory doesn't?

The panel brings together voices from central banking, compliance, exchanges, investment, and academic research.

If you're at the forum tomorrow, we encourage you to come. These are conversations worth having in the room.

The Kaleido team is honored to be selected as a participant in the Bank of England and Bank for International Settlements – BIS Innovation Hub's DLT Innovation Challenge. This experience has provided a great forum to share our deep expertise on the practical application of DLT for next-generation financial market infrastructure.

The goal of the Innovation Challenge is to answer the question: "Can wholesale central bank money be transacted and settled on an external programmable ledger which the Bank of England does not control, and where trust is not inherent."

Javier Garcia Nonay, Matthew Whitehead, Enrique Lacal, and Josh Mercer-Deadman will be representing Kaleido at the in-person sessions on October 21st where we will be presenting on Network and Asset control.

The in-person session is the culmination of a series of deep dive sessions we have conducted with the Bank of England and BIS teams covering:

1️⃣ Settlement Finality & Security
2️⃣ Scalability
3️⃣ Network & Asset Control
4️⃣ Interoperability & RT Standards

These sessions have allowed us to share our platform and expertise and demonstrate how our technology-agnostic architecture is designed to solve these complex challenges, as proven in production projects around the world. This is critical as we believe the future of finance will be built on a foundation of interoperable, multi-protocol networks.

What a great week at Sibos 2025! The Kaleido team had a fantastic time in Frankfurt connecting with partners, clients, and industry leaders across topics like stablecoins, asset tokenization, custody, tokenized deposits, privacy, interoperability, and more. Across countless discussions at our booth and on the main stages, a few key themes stood out:

1️⃣ Blockchain and Digital Assets are in Production: The topics of digital assets and blockchain were pervasive in Sibos this year, as the financial services industry has moved into real production. The focus is now on operational resilience, enterprise-grade infrastructure, and navigating the complexities of real-world deployment.

2️⃣ Institutional Grade Custody As real value moves on-chain, embedding programmable policies for risk and compliance directly into an asset’s lifecycle is now a critical requirement.

3️⃣ The Rise of Real-World Utility: Regulated stablecoins and tokenized deposits are here to stay and are being adopted as core instruments for settlement, liquidity, and collateral mobility by institutions around the world.

4️⃣ Interoperability is Non-Negotiable: The industry recognizes that interoperability between diverse DLT networks and legacy systems is crucial to scale.

These themes directly mirror the work we’re doing. Our Global Head of Digital Assets, Javier Garcia Nonay, shared valuable insights from our recent work with leading organizations including Swift, MAS: Guardian Wholesale Network, and the DFCRC and RBA's Project Acacia, all of which are tackling these challenges head-on.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by to connect with us. It was a privilege to be part of the conversation shaping the future of finance!

Planning an enterprise blockchain project? Success goes far beyond the technology. It's about making the right strategic choices from day one.

Here are five key considerations:

1️⃣ Clear Business Goals & Use Case: A well-defined use case is essential to your project and guides every decision
2️⃣ Robust Identity & Access Control: Controlling who joins the network and what they can do is a non-negotiable for building a secure and trusted business network.
3️⃣ Data Privacy & Compliance: Build a data protection strategy from the start to protect sensitive information and ensure alignment with regulations like GDPR.
4️⃣ Scalable & Secure Infrastructure: Prioritize a production-ready, enterprise-grade infrastructure that delivers high availability, performance, and resilience.
5️⃣ Strong Governance & Policy: Establish a strong governance model with clear rules for participation and decision-making to ensure the success of your multi-party system.

Starting a blockchain project isn’t just about technology—it’s about making the right strategic choices from day one. Enterprises, especially in financial services, must balance innovation with security, compliance, and scalability.
