Meet the first group taking the stage at The Bridge 2026, with leaders spanning traditional finance, digital assets, venture capital, and institutional investing. With many more speakers to come.
October 27. NYC.
Excited to share that I’ve joined Kamino as CEO.
There's a generational moment happening across financial services and capital markets - infrastructure is shifting on-chain, ushering in a new era of access, distribution and liquidity for every kind of asset. Kamino is positioned to be a core player in that future, and I'm honored to lead our next chapter.
Tokenization worked. But what’s missing is what comes after you put an asset on-chain. That requires liquidity, credit, distribution and infrastructure.
Kamino has spent four years building that foundation.
Thanks to everyone who has been part of this journey @kamino, @y2kappa, @solanaguvnor, @KyleSamani, @solana, @calilyliu, @mcagney, and so many others who’ve had a hand in my joining Kamino.
Below is my thesis on the future of finance.
We are thrilled to announce Michael Weisz (@WeiszM) as the new CEO of Kamino
After more than a two decades in fintech & private markets, Michael joins Kamino to lead us into our next chapter of institutional growth, and expand Kamino to the US market
A letter from Michael below
$800+ billion in assets, now moving onchain.
@NYLIManagement joins us this year as an Innovator Partner.
The asset management arm of New York Life, with eight specialized
investment boutiques, 1,900+ investment professionals, and 28 global
locations.
Upgrading plumbing is a grind. Excited for the day our infra can spin up solutions for the smallest accounts.
Turning long-tail personalization into a seamless feature—not a resource drain—is the goal. 🛠️🚀
Great to have shared the @rwasummit stage with two innovators - @hey_elizabethy and @itsbhaji
Customization has always been an operational overlay around a portfolio.
@ThomasGSy of @NYLIManagement makes the case that programming those operations into the asset itself is what turns customization into a scalable model.

"We're not changing what we own. We're changing the rails those assets travel on."
@ThomasGSy of @NYLIManagement, onstage with Elizabeth Yenko and @itsbhaji tomorrow at @RWAsummit .
Bloomberg flagging ~$1 trillion in bonds trading wider than their rating implies. The market is pricing calm at the index level while quietly repricing individual bonds underneath. This is a set-up for active managers to add value and for passive credit exposure to underperform.
Tokenized assets should be accessible from wherever capital already sits.
Centrifuge and @lifiprotocol, the liquidity orchestration platform powering 1,000+ integrations, are making that easier.
Starting with deRWA, users can discover and access Centrifuge assets through products like Jumper and other LI.FI-powered interfaces, with swaps, bridging, and routing handled in the background.
A broader path for Centrifuge assets into the wallets, apps, and interfaces users already rely on.

"Large financial institutions are increasingly testing not just tokenized products, but blockchain-based systems, looking to increase efficiency, reduce operational friction, and broaden market access.
The real ‘unlock’ for ETFs was when brokerages could seamlessly hold, price, and settle ETFs like any other stock. Same investment product, better rails."
@ThomasGSy, Head of Multi-Asset Solutions at @NYLIManagement, on tokenized assets. His team's chart puts the two on the same shape of curve.
Offchain, moving along this curve means a different venue, a different account and a different settlement process at every step.
Onchain, one set of rails can serve every point on it.
Chart adapted from @RWA_xyz research.
The next 2 years will shape leadership in tokenization. Centrifuge should be structurally prepared.
We are exploring converting CFG token to equity. Read the proposal and join the discussion.

This is a signal that Washington will actively manage long-end yields rather than let the market (or the Fed) do the work.
Takes a bit of the wind out of the sails of Warsh's argument that financial markets are doing the work for them via higher rates, hence they don't need to hike rates.
