  Tom Zschach: The Swift Ledger Is Live And Banks Are Already Using It (Faster Than Anyone Expected)

  Oct 4, 202614 min

  Three years ago nobody at Swift was thinking about carrying a token across the network and now the ledger is live and banks are settling cross-border payments with their own deposit tokens. Tom Zschach, who was CIO through that shift, cuts through what he says is widespread confusion: the Swift ledger doesn't do settlement, doesn't hold custody, and doesn't issue tokens. It orchestrates the transaction, and the member banks decide where settlement lands. He also confirms the rumors: big announcements are coming at Money 2020. Tom Zschach is the former Chief Innovation Officer at Swift. The Rollup is where the leaders of digital assets and finance converge. Live from the financial capital of the world.

  Sergey Nazarov: Why Hundreds Of Trillions Of Dollars Are Coming Onchain Right Now (Tokenization Supercycle)

  Oct 2, 202625 min

  Sergey Nazarov says that critical mass is very close now, and when it tips, the amount of tokenized equity in existence skyrockets. He explains Chainlink's role as the interface banks use to access the Swift ledger, breaks down the DTCC collateral app chain and how settlement ties out across Ethereum and the app chain, and makes the case that nobody actually wants tokenization. Rather, they want what becomes possible once something is tokenized. Sergey Nazarov is the Co-Founder of Chainlink. The Rollup is where the leaders of digital assets and finance converge.

  Rob Krugman: This Is The Biggest Unlock In Finance Yet (2027)

  Oct 1, 202619 min

  Broadridge is already settling $380 billion a day in repo onchain, and Rob Krugman expects that to clear a trillion by year end. He explains what actually changes when overnight loans become intraday, why 2027 is the year the brokerage and banking industries finally turn on wallets and custody, and why that unlock matters more than anything else. It takes tokenized assets from 750 million crypto users to billions of ordinary bank customers. He also makes the case that US-backed stablecoins may be the biggest trade event in American history, and explains how tokenization drops private market minimums from a million dollars to a few thousand.

  Vlad Tenev: Trillions Of Assets Are Coming On Robinhood Chain (Tokenize The World)

  Sep 30, 20265 min

  Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev joins Andy live from the HOOD Summit in Houston, Texas for a quick conversation about tokenization and Robinhood Chain. He told us to look at the Robinhood app and imagine onchain versions of everything in it. Robinhood Chain is just two months old and already number one in developer activity, with huge onchain perps and spot DEX volume. He confirms private stock tokens are coming at scale, with Robinhood Ventures giving them unique access to private companies asking how to participate. He also explains his vision for tokenization: democratizing access at scale to wealth creation, perhaps allowing someone in Ecuador or Eastern Europe to have the same access to high-quality assets that Americans already have.

  Joseph Chalom: Ethereum Is The Toll Road To Everything (Larry Fink's Words)

  Sep 28, 202631 min

  Joseph Chalom says Larry Fink's line that Ethereum is the toll road to tokenization is exactly the right way to think about the asset, and he lays out why the market's bearish turn on ETH has it backwards. The SharpLink CEO and former BlackRock digital assets executive breaks down Ethereum's case as a trust commodity, walks through BlackRock's new research on agentic finance and stablecoins, and explains why he thinks agent-driven commerce could eventually dwarf crypto's entire market today. Joseph Chalom is CEO of SharpLink, an Ethereum treasury company, and previously served as Head of Digital Assets at BlackRock. The Rollup is where the leaders of digital assets and finance converge.
