DAOs survive only when they back their treasuries with real cash flows. Blockchains: rail consolidation. The industry is concentrating on a few settlement rails (1:1 migrations to…

ESG taxonomy & sustainable finance: fewer obligations, more market

The European Omnibus did not kill ESG: it transformed it from a mass legal obligation into a competitive market advantage. The demand for reliable ESG data is shifting from regulators to investors, banks, and buyers, and ESG ratings themselves are now under supervision. The new regime (Directive (EU) 2026/470, in force since 18/03/2026). CSRD:…

AI, MANBRIC/Biotech, Robotics & Smart Cities: the physical capex supercycle

The "AI bubble" debate is secondary; what is observable is the largest private investment cycle in modern history, whose spillover effects ripple across energy, industrial real estate, semiconductors, robotics, and cities. The supercycle figures. The five major hyperscalers (Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Oracle) will commit $660-725 billion in capex by 2026, nearly double that of…

Three rails will coexist — regulated private stablecoins, CBDC (especially wholesale), ISO 20022 banking rails, and value will concentrate in the interoperability and proof layer (reserves, compliance, settlement quality). Stablecoins: from experimentation to regulated instrument. Market cap…

Enough with "speculative NFTs": tokenized assets are becoming income instruments, rents, interest, coupons distributed via smart contracts. Analysis of a paradigm shift bringing RWA closer to private credit and fixed income. Tokenization was initially framed as a story of appreciation: buy a token, wait for it to rise. The 2026 narrative is entirely different. What…
