Sam Smith invented #KERI. In #TrustTalks Ep. 13 he explains how any data can be wrapped so it carries proof of who issued it. The verifiable #LEI (#vLEI) is one example. linktr.ee/TrustTalks

One swaps market, two regulators, one recurring data problem: inconsistent reporting conventions. .@XBRLUS is urging the @CFTC and @SECGov to align common data elements, including the #LEI for entity identification. #RegTech xbrl.org/news/xbrl-us-backs-…

Digital wallets can help prove who a person is. Businesses also need to prove which organization they represent and their authority to act. At RegTech Day in Paris on 24 September, GLEIF's Marine Kumazawa joins the 15:30 eIDAS 2.0 panel. #vLEI #DigitalIdentity finance-innovation.org/evene…

Heading to @Sibos in Miami next week? GLEIF's 1 October session asks what happens as traditional and digital financial rails connect: how can each one recognize the same organization and the authority behind an instruction? #LEI #vLEI #Sibos events.gleif.org/GLEIF-Sibos…

Who is answerable when an agent acts? The verifiable #LEI (#vLEI) puts a legal entity, a named delegator, and a defined scope of authority behind every agent action. The counterparty checks it directly. #AI #Agents

Smaller commodity traders still face a familiar mix of barriers: #KYC friction, collateral demands, and uneven cash flow. At @gtreview Commodities in Geneva on 23 September, GLEIF's Clare Rowley joins the SME finance panel. #LEI #TradeFinance #GTRCommodities gtreview.com/events/europe/g…

You can verify which organization stands behind an AI agent. That still does not prove the agent is authorized to take a specific action. @YourD_ata's Jaegyeong Yeom explains how Agent-Anchor uses the #vLEI to explore this "execution-trust" gap. gleif.org/en/newsroom/blog/h…

Business registers are national. Businesses are not. On 22 September in Geneva, GLEIF's Zornitsa Manolova will present "The Legal Entity Identifier as the Global Linchpin" at @UNECE’s Group of Experts on Business Registers, exploring how the #LEI can help connect entity data across borders and systems. unece.org/statistics/events/…

When health data crosses systems, how is the organization behind it verified, and how is the authority of the person acting for it checked? Health Data Management (@HDMmagazine) looks at the verifiable LEI (#vLEI) approach. #Healthcare healthdatamanagement.com/art…

Stablecoins can move across networks. Identity assurance often stays with the institution that checked it. In @crowdfundinside, @RyanKirkley names the verifiable LEI (#vLEI) among the standards that could close the gap. #DigitalAssets crowdfundinsider.com/2026/09…

“Yet regulation alone cannot create trust.” @WalletConnect’s 2026 policy and compliance report includes a GLEIF contribution on the role of interoperable organizational identity across jurisdictions and platforms. #LEI #vLEI #DigitalIdentity walletconnect.com/reports/po…

Corporate treasurers want liquidity that moves 24/7 across banks, stablecoins and tokenized deposits. Each movement still has to show which legal entity is on the other side. Alexandre Kech, CEO of GLEIF, on The Onchain Treasury Podcast. #LEI #vLEI open.spotify.com/episode/67q…

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (@CBP) is considering replacing or supplementing its manufacturer/shipper code with a Global Business Identifier. The current GBI test already accepts the Legal Entity Identifier (#LEI). Comments close 1 Dec. #DigitalTrade federalregister.gov/d/2026-1…

Technical interoperability is not what holds Digital Public Infrastructure back. Getting regulators to work together is. #DPI Pavle Avramovic of Financial Innovation (Fii) for Impact joins GLEIF CEO Alexandre Kech in #TrustTalks Ep. 14 to explain why and where the Legal Entity Identifier (#LEI) fits. Listen: linktr.ee/TrustTalks

Tomorrow at CA Day 2026, GLEIF’s Christoph Schneider will speak on global business wallets and how the Legal Entity Identifier (#LEI) can support cross-border interoperability. #DigitalIdentity enisa.europa.eu/events/trust…

Correspondent banking, instant payments, stablecoins, and tokenized deposits use different rails. They share a trust question: which organization is behind a transaction, and who can act for it? #LEI #vLEI This is exactly what GLEIF brings to @Sibos on 1 Oct. Alexandre Kech, CEO of GLEIF will be joined by Makiko Toyoda of @IFC_org, Thilo Derenbach of @Clearstream Banking, Tony McLaughlin of @ubyx_, and moderator John Rodriguez of @TerraPay. Sergey Nazarov, Co-Founder of Chainlink will open the session with a keynote before the panel. events.gleif.org/GLEIF-Sibos…

How can an AI agent remain trusted beyond its initial identity and authorization checks? 🤖💡 At the 2026 Inclusion Conference on the Bund, @AntGroup, @Tsinghua_Uni, #CAICT, and GLEIF launched a joint research paper developed under the IIFAA collaboration framework. It explores how AI agents can remain trusted beyond initial identity and authorization checks. Read it (in Chinese): iifaa.org.cn/technical
