Laser Digital bridges the gap between institutional-grade finance & the innovative promise of DeFi ⚡️
We’re a crypto-native team, backed by @Nomura, Japan’s largest investment bank. This combination offers unparalleled credibility with a superior counterparty risk profile.
More from the Frontier Capital Summit at Nomura, One Angel Lane, London.
In his CEO's Address, Dr Jez Mohideen (@Jez_Laser) set out what waiting costs as 20-30% of new funds move onchain over the next five years:
- Auditing the code is not auditing the credit.
- Delegating to a curator does not delegate accountability.
- Build now and own the operating network, or wait and rent it.
Former @CFTC Chairman J. Christopher Giancarlo (@giancarloMKTS) joined by video.
Afternoon panels with @KAIO_xyz, @paretocredit, @twinstake_io, @CIG_Crypto, @veda_labs, @SPGlobalRatings, @sygnumofficial, @Valos_io, Maples Group and Simmons & Simmons.

Laser Focus: Issue 35 is now live.
The story we would single out is digital vaults. Lending vault deposits grew ~6.7x in two years to around $10B, and S&P Global Ratings (@SPGlobalRatings) has launched a Vault Risk Assessment.
Also in the issue: regulation, real-world asset perpetuals, Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana's Alpenglow upgrade.
