Thibauld Favre reposted thisThibauld Favre reposted thisI’m proud of the Fairmint team. This week at Digital Asset Summit 2026, they did what good teams do: they stayed close to the real problem. We had hundreds of conversations with people interested in putting private equity onchain. The quality of the conversations stood out: ownership, transfer rules, compliance, and what it takes to build infrastructure that actually works. That is the signal I’m leaving with. The market is getting more serious, and the team is meeting it at the right level.

From the booth to the stage, we spent the week in conversations with founders, investors, and market participants focused on the infrastructure behind private equity onchain. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and spent time with us in New York.

Thibauld Favre reposted thisThibauld Favre reposted thisYesterday at Digital Asset Summit 2026, our CEO Joris Delanoue laid out the infrastructure gap at the center of private markets. Private companies now have secondaries, tender offers, bank-led distribution, and expanding investor access. But ownership records, transfer controls, and compliance workflows still sit across fragmented cap tables and manual processes. That creates a real infrastructure problem: new liquidity is being layered onto a fragmented system of record. The next step is to move the source of truth onchain. At Fairmint, this is what we have been building: • $1.5B+ in equity processed onchain • SEC-registered transfer agent since 2023 • Open Cap Table Protocol (OCP), built with leading U.S. law firms Not reinventing the system. Upgrading it from within. If you’re at DAS, stop by Booth K29 and meet the team.

Thibauld Favre reposted thisThibauld Favre reposted thisGlobal finance is about to go on-chain. And this is no longer a crypto conference talking point. That is, in essence, what Joris Delanoue, co-founder of Fairmint, argues in our latest interview published this week on The Big Whale. A few things worth noting: The The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) is shifting its stance. Joris Delanoue is now in daily contact with the institution. "If you had told me that a year ago, I would not have believed you." The SEC's no-action letter last December (and this week's announcement by the SEC and the CFTC) served as a political signal: legacy market infrastructure is now cleared to move forward. "Full on-chain" is officially recognised in the United States. Until now, transfer agents were required to maintain a dual ledger, running an off-chain version and an on-chain version in parallel. "It was an aberration that was holding back innovation." That obstacle has now been removed. The US is catching up with Switzerland, which opened that door back in 2021. The NYSE and Nasdaq both want to offer trading in tokenised securities, within weeks for one, by autumn 2026 for the other. The economic case is straightforward: moving from a market open five days a week to one running 24/7. "They have put both fingers in the socket and there is no going back." As for Europe? Joris Delanoue does not hold back: "I do not even look at what is happening there anymore." European companies may soon be seeking liquidity on American tokenised infrastructure, through ADRs. A familiar pattern, repeating itself. The full interview is available on The Big Whale. [Link in comments]

Thibauld Favre reposted thisThibauld Favre reposted thisEquity is moving onchain. That's not a prediction anymore — it's happening. $1B+ in private company equity is already running onchain. The question now isn't whether this is real. It's who builds the rails institutions will actually trust. I'll be on stage at Digital Asset Summit 2026 — hosted by Blockworks in New York — talking about exactly that: equity infrastructure that's programmable, compliant, and native to the chain. If you're a bank, fund, issuer, or infrastructure builder thinking seriously about what ownership looks like onchain — come find me and the Fairmint team. March 24-26 · Javits Center North · NYC

Thibauld Favre reposted thisThibauld Favre reposted thisPrivacy is not a negotiation. It's a prerequisite for institutions. A year ago, board members came to us ready to move their cap tables onchain. Aligned on the standard, aligned on the vision — but one hard stop: we don't want anyone to see what's happening on our cap table. My co-founder Thibauld Favre and I started digging through every solution on the market — ZK, FHE, Canton, Aleo, ZKsync. We were in the room with compliance teams, chief legal officers, board members. None of them were ready to compromise. And they were right not to. So that's where we went — Canton. Privacy by design, institutions already in production, DTCC and top banks at the same table. Fairmint has now processed over $1.5B in equity onchain. The whole finance world is mostly private. You don't want your bank account open to everyone. You don't want your employee's payroll visible on an explorer tomorrow. We're still early. But the direction is clear.

Mais d’un français, inconnu, revenu bosser dans le garage de sa mère. Un gars tout juste sorti d’école, recalé par Google, sans réseau… Mais qui voit le futur du Cloud avant tout le monde. Alors qu’AWS n’en est qu’à ses débuts, Et que les pionniers commencent tout juste à se débattre avec des “machines virtuelles”, Solomon pense déjà à l’étape d’après. À l’époque, les briques de base des “conteneurs” sont déjà là. D’ailleurs certains des géants du Cloud les utilisent déjà. Mais personne n’a encore pris conscience de leur potentiel. ”En fait, je pense qu’on pourrait en faire une brique de packaging de l’application et…” En général, le pitch s’arrête là. Pas parce que l’idée est mauvaise, non. Mais parce que personne ne la comprend. 🤷 Le monde n’est tout simplement pas prêt. Solomon lui, n’en démord pas. Et surtout, il a une folle envie de bidouiller. Alors, même si il ne connait pas grand chose au monde des “start-ups”, Il se lance. À la poursuite de son obsession. L’aventure va durer 10 ans. 5 ans de traversée du désert…. Puis un jour, Alors que tout semblait perdu, Solomon va tenter un truc. Un geste complètement désespéré. ”Quitte à se crasher… Autant que ça fasse un beau feu d’artifice 🎇” Sauf que, contre tout attente… C’est précisément là que le miracle se produit. 🤯 Du jour au lendemain, tout le monde s’arrache sa techno. Les 5 années qui suivent, il va les passer dans le “vortex de l’hyperscale”. Un monde impitoyable… Dont il ne va pas sortir indemne. Ce destin exceptionnel, c'est celui de Solomon Hykes... Maintenant en podcast, dans le dernier épisode de Tronche de Tech 🎙️ Franchement, foncez. Ça vaut VRAIMENT le coup. Bonne écoute 🎧 PS: épisode dispo sur toutes les plateformes, liens en commentaire pour les fatigués de la recherche Google 😉

Thibauld Favre reacted on thisThibauld Favre reacted on thisThe line between public and private markets is getting thinner. OpenAI is still private, but its March 31 funding round included about $3 billion from individual investors through bank channels, with ARK also set to provide ETF exposure ahead of a reported IPO. When access broadens before a listing, the label may still say private, but the market behavior is already changing. That is why Fairmint is building infrastructure for private markets and equity onchain, starting with the cap table and ownership record itself.

Thibauld Favre liked thisThibauld Favre liked thisTen platforms can sell you tokenized equity in the same private company. None of them talk to each other. That's the SPV problem. Every wrapper is its own island. Two investors buying onchain through different platforms can't merge their positions. Price discovery becomes impossible. And when real volume hits — when institutions ask for audits, when something goes wrong — fragmented ownership records collapse. This isn't just a private markets problem. When Nasdaq filed with the SEC to enable tokenized trading of public equities, they explicitly warned about the same risk — fragmented liquidity and price dislocation if different tokenized versions of the same asset don't interoperate. The loophole works until it doesn't. The alternative is simple in principle and hard in execution: one cap table, one source of truth. Whether you buy on Coinbase, Kraken, or a trading desk in Singapore — the share always points to the same registry onchain. The demand is real. The infrastructure just needs to catch up. That's what we've been building.

C’est une refonte du modèle : – structure evergreen adaptée aux transformations longues, – approche scientifique des thématiques, – raisonnement par filières, – alignement des intérêts dans le temps. Son mantra tient en un mot : Alignée. Se tenir droit. Aligner les intérêts. S’inscrire dans une lignée.

Thibauld Favre liked thisThibauld Favre liked thisThis week I had the opportunity to attend the Digital Asset Summit 2026 in New York, and the conversations happening in this space are unlike anything I've seen before. One panel that stood out: "Prediction Markets: The Institutional View," featuring John Wang, from Kalshi, and Chen Arad, from Solidus Labs, among others. The discussion made one thing clear: regulators are moving quickly. CFTC Chair Selig took the stage to announce that prediction markets are coming to a regulated US framework, and platforms like Kalshi are already at the center of that conversation. I also had the pleasure of attending the Ondo Finance Summit earlier this year, a gathering of the most influential executives, founders, and leaders shaping the intersection of blockchain and finance. The "Bringing Trillions Onchain" panel, from an asset manager perspective, highlighted how tokenization will inevitably serve as a tool for unlocking liquidity in traditionally illiquid assets. Private credit, real estate, infrastructure: asset classes that have historically been inaccessible or slow to move are starting to look very different through the lens of onchain rails. It's an exciting time to see regulators at the table, infrastructure being built, and most importantly, to be working at the intersection of these changes.
