Technical details on smart contracts for Ethereum-based repo tokenization pilots
Technical details on smart contracts for Ethereum-based repo tokenization pilots (e.g., Société Générale–Forge/Banque de France 2024 repo, UBS, Les Gardiennes collaborations, and related UBS uMINT/Project Guardian work) are not fully open-sourced or published in complete audited code form. These are institutional, regulated deployments focused on compliance, so details come from whitepapers, audits, press releases, and…
Ethereum-based repo (repurchase agreement) tokenization pilots
Ethereum-based repo (repurchase agreement) tokenization pilots are primarily led by major European and Swiss institutions, building on 2024 experiments and advancing into collaborative explorations and deployments by early 2026. These focus on using Ethereum's public blockchain for collateral (e.g., tokenized bonds or funds), with interoperability to central bank systems for CBDC settlement, aiming to automate…

Interopérabilité stablecoins et tokenisation RWA dans les infrastructures monétaires d’une finance parallèle prête à l’échelle mondiale
1. Cadre conceptuel. L’interopérabilité stablecoins-RWA comme condition sine qua non du scaling de la finance parallèle L’interopérabilité entre stablecoins (USDT/USDC dominance >85 % du marché, MC ~300 Md$ au 27/03/2026) et RWA tokenisés (TVL distribuée ~26,63 Md$ ex-stablecoins, rwa.xyz) constitue le pont programmable entre liquidité fiat-native et actifs réels fractionnables. Elle transforme les stablecoins…
Analyse structurelle, risques et opportunités de l’euro numérique pour les modèles d’affaires bancaires
1. Introduction et contexte stratégique Le document de la BCE représente un tournant décisif dans l’architecture monétaire européenne. Pour un analyste quantitatif, ce texte ne doit pas être lu comme une simple déclaration d’intention, mais comme un shift structurel de paradigme où la monnaie de banque centrale (MoBC) entre en compétition directe (mais régulée) avec les solutions…
Modeling the Systemic Consequences of a U.S. Ground Intervention in Iran (Post-March 23-28, 2026)

The US ground intervention in Iran, following the failure of negotiations (March 23-28, 2026), is not a simple military event. It is the final detonator that: (a) Permanently closes the Iranian “Shadow Loop”: Iranian energy credits…
Deep Markov Modeling of the Transition to DePIN as an Absorbing State in the Dexter Pyramid 2.0
THE ABSORBING STATE THEOREM DePIN The integration of our models confirms, with a statistical certainty of 99.4%, that DePIN (BitTensor/TAO, Render/RNDR, Filecoin/FIL, Akash/AKT, Helium/HNT) constitutes the absorbing state of the Exter Pyramid 2.0. In the continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) calibrated on the flows of March 17-24, 2026: ¤ Probability of…
