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

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. With Elizabeth Yenko and @itsbhaji 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. Learn more: centrifuge.io/blog/centrifug…

"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.

All about the plumbing.

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.

Exactly. Which makes a wholistic client solution impossible or cost prohibitive off-chain.

Forward looking. 🙌

As expected..didn't work. Right back to where it started. Can't contain something without solving the root cause.
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.
