Last December, at @ADFinanceWeek 2025, @hashed_official collaborated with ADGM to curate a Web3 Leaders Roundtable that brought together some of the leading voices in the space. Today, we are pleased to release the full report, capturing their insights and meaningful dialogues.
AI agents, tokenized markets, and digital settlement are no longer parallel conversations. @hashed_official and @ADGlobalMarket – ADGM, Abu Dhabi's leading, award-winning, International Financial Centre – have published a joint policy report synthesizing discussions from the Web3 Leaders Roundtable at @ADFinanceWeek. The report was co-authored by ADGM Emerging Tech and Hashed Open Research, Hashed's research think tank. The roundtable brought together senior participants from @ADGlobalMarket, @DMCCAuthority, @BlackRock, @The_DTCC, @FTI_US, @circle, @Consensys, @SolanaFndn, @NEARProtocol, @AvaLabs, @dfinity, @Grayscale, @StoryProtocol, @tether, @FalconXGlobal, @dbsbank, @LaserDigital_, @EntEthAlliance, @jito_sol, @GSR_io, @GoKiteAI, @Sharplink, @9BlocksCap, and @openmind_agi, alongside representatives from ADIA, the European Commission, the Government of Liechtenstein, Further Ventures, and Brevan Howard Digital, to examine two core questions shaping the next phase of digital asset adoption: what infrastructure an AI-native economy will require, and what policy barriers still stand in the way of institutional scale. Hosted by ADGM's Dmitry Fedotov and Hashed's @simonkim_nft, with framing remarks and moderation from @HenriArslanian (Nine Blocks Capital), @baekkyoumkim (Hashed). The broader implication is that institutional adoption is no longer a question of whether demand is coming, but whether policy and infrastructure can keep pace with it.

We are back again.
One of the more important shifts in digital assets right now is how quickly Korea is becoming an institutional market. EastPoint:Seoul returns on September 28, 2026, bringing together a curated group of policymakers, institutions, investors, and builders to discuss where that shift is heading — and what it means in practice. For projects and institutions looking at Korea, this is where curated conversations, targeted meetings, and direct engagement with policymakers come together. Korea is emerging as one of the most important markets to watch in digital assets, with institutional interest rising and regulatory momentum becoming increasingly visible. EastPoint:Seoul 2026 is built for global projects, investors, and institutions looking to understand that shift early — and engage the right people around it. Co-hosted by @hashed_official and @bloomingbit_io, the event brings together leaders across policy, finance, digital assets, and AI for conversations that go beyond headline themes and toward practical outcomes. This year’s agenda includes: — Stablecoins and digital capital markets — Institutional digital asset management — Real-world asset tokenization — Autonomous AI economies What sets EastPoint:Seoul apart is not only the agenda, but the composition of the room. Participants are thoughtfully screened by the hosts to ensure a highly relevant set of conversations across projects, institutions, and policymakers. This extends into curated business meetings and closed-door roundtables designed to support direct engagement, stronger alignment, and tangible outcomes beyond the event. Last year, EastPoint:Seoul brought together 503 attendees, 63 speakers, 50 business meetings, and 40 closed-door roundtables, with participation from Former Acting CFTC Chair Caroline Pham @CarolineDPham, White House digital asset officials @HarryYJung, and bipartisan lawmakers from Korea. As Korea’s market continues to evolve, EastPoint:Seoul aims to be a place where meaningful conversations turn into real alignment, real relationships, and real outcomes.

Last September, 500 leaders from finance, policy, academia, and the digital asset industry gathered for eight hours of closed-door roundtables on stablecoin reserve requirements, regulatory frameworks, and institutional settlement rails. Much of the discussion stayed behind closed doors. This report brings together the key themes that emerged — many of which are now becoming more relevant across the market.

Proud to share that Hashed has invested in HiT Grading & Authentication. This marks a major milestone in our journey to build trusted infrastructure for the collectibles market across the UAE and wider region. At HiT, we believe collectibles are becoming a serious global asset class, and the Middle East is only getting started. With Hashed’s support, we look forward to scaling HiT further across grading, authentication, retail, and marketplace growth. Big things ahead. #HiTGrading #Hashed #Collectibles #TradingCards #Authentication #UAE #MENA #Startup #VentureCapital #PopCulture @hitgcc Speedy Comics ME Hashed lnkd.in/d9JQu_dk

Culture creates value before markets can price it. Collectibles are where that gap closes. Hashed led investment in HiT Grading & Authentication (@h1tgcc) — the GCC’s first collectibles grading & authentication company. The Middle East’s collector economy is growing fast. Korean IP is expanding globally. The corridor between them needed infrastructure. HiT is building it. markets.businessinsider.com/…

Regional tensions rise and fall. Our commitment to the UAE is built for the long run. Hashed established its ADGM-licensed entity in Abu Dhabi not as a trend, but as a long-term strategic commitment — one rooted in a genuine belief in the UAE's role as the next great hub for technology and digital innovation. That belief hasn't changed. If anything, it has grown stronger. The UAE has built something rare: a forward-looking regulatory environment, a bold vision for digital infrastructure, and a culture of openness to global ideas and capital. These are the foundations of lasting ecosystems — and they don't bend to short-term turbulence. We remain here, as committed as ever, to help grow that ecosystem alongside the institutions, founders, and partners who are building the UAE's digital future. m.thebell.co.kr/m/newsview.a…

Protocol Camp 2025 wrapped with a Final Demo Day that proved one thing: Building real Web3 products goes far beyond technical execution. Designed by @hashed_official & @0xShardLab, Protocol Camp is a selective 12-week builder program for teams with prior product or dev experience—focused on research, protocol & product design, and continuous real-world validation. Demo Day evaluations went beyond “what was built” to whether it can actually survive outside the program—from problem depth and differentiation to scalability, traction, and execution quality. As @simonkim_nft shared, strong protocols aren’t shaped by code alone, but by people, peers, and communities. And as @harryhojinkim noted, the cohort’s external recognition reflects competitiveness well beyond Protocol Camp itself. 👉 Full coverage below 📰 The Block: theblock.co/press-releases/3… ✍️ Hashed on Medium: medium.com/hashed-official/p…

해시드 연례 보고서 [프로토콜 경제: 해시드 2026] 국문 버전이 나왔습니다. 이 보고서에서 말하는 핵심은 2026년쯤부터 디지털 자산은 더 이상 “오르면 사고, 떨어지면 파는 대상”이 아니라, 실제로 돌아가는 경제의 일부가 되기 시작한다는 관점입니다. 스테이블코인은 이미 결제·정산 인프라처럼 쓰이기 시작했고, AI 에이전트는 사람 대신 판단하고 거래하는 주체로 하나씩 등장하고 있습니다. 프라이버시 인프라도 이제는 선택이 아니라, 기관이 디지털 자산을 다루기 위한 기본 조건에 가까워지고 있고요. 이건 방향성 얘기라기보다는, 이미 여기저기서 관측되는 변화에 가깝습니다. 그래서 해시드도 실물자산 발행, 토큰화된 프라이빗 크레딧, 기업 재무 운영, 기관 간 결제처럼 “실제로 쓰이기 시작한 온체인 업무”가 어디서 만들어지고 있는지에 더 집중하고 있습니다. 앞으로 AI와 온체인이 결합된 자율적인 시스템이 늘어날수록, 결국 남는 팀은 이야기 잘하는 팀이 아니라 사용자, 사용량, 그리고 지속 가능한 수익 구조를 함께 만들어내는 팀일 거라는 생각이고요. 이제는 “다음 사이클”을 이야기하기보다, 이미 돌아가기 시작한 구조가 어디인지를 보는 게 더 중요해진 시점인 것 같습니다.

It was proud to join @ADFinanceWeek as an Official Partner with @hashed_official, contributing to a panel discussion and co-hosting the Web3 Leaders Roundtable with @ADGlobalMarket Emerging Tech on how financial and technology systems were being designed, governed, and deployed beyond the US. On the panel, “The Global Silicon Valley: What It Takes to Win Outside the US,” I spoke about the UAE’s role in creating conditions for scale—through long-term vision, regulatory clarity, and sustained public-private alignment rather than short-term incentives. At the Web3 Leaders Roundtable, regulators, financial institutions, and infrastructure builders examined stablecoins, digital asset market structure, and AI-driven financial rails, focusing on how policy and infrastructure translated into real economic activity. Durable ecosystems tended to emerge where vision, rules, and execution moved in the same direction.

1/ Hashed has published its annual report, The Protocol Economy: Hashed 2026. In 2026, digital assets will begin operating not as a speculative category, but as a functional economic system. This shift is structural and visible in the rails, not the narratives.

medium.com/hashed-official/a… I recently relocated to Abu Dhabi, an emerging digital hub where vibrant initiatives are shaping the future. This move reflects my deep commitment to working closely with our local partners. At @hashed_official, we are more than just a fund. We are builders and dedicated partners, committed to co-creating the future of this ecosystem. We have demonstrated this by establishing our regional headquarters at ADGM and partnering with Hub71 to curate the inaugural blockchain track at Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW) 2024. Our partnership model is focused on building a global ecosystem bridge, connecting the Abu Dhabi/Middle East with key innovation hubs in Asia. Last year, we hosted Hub71 in Seoul to highlight opportunities for Korean startups and entrepreneurs to collaborate. This past May, we were honored to join the official UAE delegation for the Abu Dhabi Investment Forum in Tokyo, connecting Japanese companies with Abu Dhabi stakeholders. We also further strengthened this bridge with Hub71 joining as the Title Partner for our Blockchain Leaders Summit Tokyo 2025, creating a powerful link between the two ecosystems. From Seoul to Tokyo and now Abu Dhabi, we are connecting the world. We do more than deploy capital—we build ecosystems through hands-on global partnerships.
