Over the past 5 years, @STORM_Partners, alongside the blockchain industry, has made significant progress. Time has flown by, and the world continues to change exponentially ⚡️ #Web3 is no longer just about launching tokens. #DigitalAssets are now built to scale, endure, and attract capital. This brand evolution reflects that shift. From supporting projects to enabling the architecture of scalable asset classes. Our core advisory functions must also evolve to fit that vision. 🔸 Strategy & Growth Turning vision into market reality. 🔸 Legal & Resilience Ensuring structures hold under pressure. Because in this market: Growth without structure is fragile. Structure without growth is limiting. The future belongs to those who can do both 🤝 At the intersection of growth and resilience, we operate where value is created, protected, and scaled. Where strategy and structure converge, value becomes scalable. Through Mergers & Acquisitions and Institutional Adoption, we integrate our main capabilities to deliver greater value to our clients and partners for the future of our industry. Thank you for being a part of our journey. More to follow, it’s just the beginning! Keep an eye out. New website coming soon… 👀

PANEL ANNOUNCEMENT: How do you build an onchain market that protects trading strategies and counterparties, while letting regulators do their job?

Capital markets and digital asset infrastructure have been converging for years. On the 8th of September, STORM Partners is hosting the forum where that takes shape 🏛️ Onchain Leaders Gathering at @DecentralHouse in Geneva: 150 curated seats, validated decision-makers. Capital allocators, asset managers, heads of digital assets, infrastructure builders, and regulatory figures in the same room for half a day, in a city that manages a quarter of global cross-border private wealth and Europe's largest private banking cluster. This is not a coincidence. The tokenized RWA market grew 550% in 12 months, Visa is now settling in stablecoins, and the Swiss National Bank is already working on a live prototype for programmable cross-border settlement. The questions that remain are structural: who owns the client relationship, what the settlement stack costs at scale, and where mandate constraints meet a yield environment that has permanently shifted. Our afternoon combines keynotes, focused panels, and long breaks with on-site private meeting rooms, designed for the conversations that will shape how the next decade of financial infrastructure is built. If your work sits at this intersection, this is where you should be in September 🤝 Apply for your seat 👉 luma.com/zrbsjzp3. Attendance is subject to validation. #Onchain #Geneva #DigitalAssets

AI and digital assets are converging into one of the most important capital allocation questions in the market. On May 28 at @thecryptovalley Conference 2026, Sheraz Ahmed, Managing Partner at @STORM_Partners , will moderate the main stage panel “The AI Trade: Who Wins, Who Loses, and Where Capital Is Moving Next.” 🎙️ The discussion will explore where value is likely to accrue as AI reshapes infrastructure demand, investment flows, competitive advantage, and the role Web3 may play in the next phase of market development. Sheraz will be joined by Alexander Scharrer from @NEARFoundation, Dr. Nagendra B Bharatula from G-20 Group, and Maja Vujnovic from @FGNexusio (Nasdaq: FGNX)🤝 Thank you to @thecryptovalley and @CVConf_ for the invitation. We look forward to contributing to a timely conversation at the intersection of AI, digital assets, and institutional adoption. 📍 May 28, 2026 | AUDI MAX, Main Stage | Rotkreuz, Zug #CVC26 #DigitalAssets #STORMPartners

PANEL ANNOUNCEMENT: How Tokenised Markets Create New Opportunities for Investors. Are you part of the conversation? Marco Santori @msantoriESQ (Independent), Gregg Bell @GregoryLBell (CIO, @hashgraph), Robby Yung @viewfromhk (CEO of Investments, @animocabrands), and Matt O'Connor @matty_ (Co-Founder, @legiondotcc) take the stage at the Louvre for a one-of-a kind panel led by Sheraz Ahmed @CryptoSherazo (Managing Partner, @STORM_Partners). The conversation explores where tokenised markets are creating real investor opportunities beyond the pilot phase, from new asset classes and improved access to more efficient issuance, settlement, and secondary liquidity. It moves into the question of what demand looks like today, which institutions, enterprises, and investor groups are adopting tokenised products, and what still needs to happen before broader participation becomes possible. The deeper question on the table is what separates durable tokenised markets from experiments, including the legal design, liquidity, infrastructure, and regulatory conditions needed for tokenised assets to become investable at scale. 11 days to go.

STORM Partners has submitted a formal comment letter to the @SECGov in response to its new guidance on the application of federal securities laws to certain crypto assets and crypto asset transactions. We welcome the SEC’s guidance as a meaningful step toward greater legal clarity, particularly its distinction between the legal status of a crypto asset itself and the status of a specific offer, sale, or transaction involving that asset. At the same time, several important areas remain uncertain. Our submission focuses on one of them: how the securities-law analysis should apply when token ecosystems evolve over time and introduce, modify, decentralize, or remove mechanisms such as protocol fee burns, buyback-and-burn programs, staking rewards, revenue distributions, or other forms of direct or indirect value accrual. Our key point is that not every tokenomic mechanism that affects token value should be treated as securities-like. A clear distinction should be drawn between issuer-backed profit or revenue rights, which raise serious securities-law concerns, and transparent, protocol-native, non-discretionary mechanisms that arise from the operation of a functional decentralized system. Legal clarity on this point is essential for responsible token design, investor protection, and the continued development of compliant crypto infrastructure. Submitted by Dr. Iur. @nicola_massella, alongside the Legal & Resilience Dept. of STORM Partners The full letter is publicly available on the SEC website.

Yesterday at Digital Days Geneva, @nicola_massella , our Legal Partner at @STORM_Partners, joined a panel hosted by SPHERE The Swiss Financial Arena, alongside Romain Braud of Arab Bank Switzerland, with Tatiana Topp of MyBerry moderating. The conversation tackled a simple but important question: are banks and financial institutions really keeping up with blockchain and digital assets? The honest answer is that most are behind. A few are not. US institutions have moved fast since the regulatory shift, with Nasdaq and Citadel Securities closing a gap that looked insurmountable two years ago. J.P. Morgan's Kinexys sits well ahead of most banking peers, while players like UBS remain in early stages. One of the clearest takeaways from the panel was that early institutional adopters are not just experimenting, they are building an advantage. As the gap widens between those integrating digital assets proactively and those still waiting on the sidelines, the commercial consequences are becoming harder to ignore. Thank you to Sphere for the invitation and to Tatiana and Romain for a sharp and candid conversation 🤝
