AI, humanoid robotics & MANBRIC/biotech: the intermediate phase of the 6th Kondratieff wave

Theoretical framework. The MANBRIC concept (Medical, Additive, Nano-, Bio-, Robo-, Info-, and Cogno-technologies) formalized by Grinin & Korotayev describes the technological core of the 6th Kondratieff wave / final phase of the cybernetic revolution (2030s–2040s): the era of self-regulating systems, with medicine as the initial breakthrough sector, for demographic reasons (aging: 1 billion people over…

RWA & tokenisation: from experimentation to regulated market

Size and dynamics. The on-chain value of tokenized real-world assets (excluding stablecoins) reached $33.5 billion in July 2026 according to rwa.xyz (reference dashboard), approximately 4x the level at the start of 2025; Chainalysis reports ~$31 billion (+400%), Canton ~$36 billion?, the discrepancy is methodological, not contradictory. In "represented" value (underlying assets referenced), rwa.xyz reports ~$218–369…

From Speculative Tokens to Yield Instruments: The Revenue-Structure Paradigm in Tokenized Assets (2026–2035)

The defining shift in digital assets this decade is not a price level. It is a change in structure: from instruments whose value rests on uncertain future appreciation to instruments whose value is delivered through continuous, automated cash flows, rent, interest, coupons, distributed by code. The RWA market has quietly completed this migration in 2026,…

The November 14 Cliff: ISO 20022’s Structured-Address Deadline Is a Data Problem Dressed as a Payments Problem.

In less than twelve weeks, on 14 November 2026, the SWIFT CBPR+ network will begin rejecting cross-border payment messages that carry fully unstructured postal addresses. SEPA follows on 15 November. There is no extension mechanism: the deadline was set through SWIFT’s formal community process and is enforced at network level, a non-compliant message is NAKed…

ESG, European taxonomy & carbon: the simplification that creates the quality premium

The Omnibus package reduces the reporting scope but mechanically increases the published alignment ratios, a comparability risk for investors. Symmetrically, the voluntary carbon market is completing its bifurcation: CCP-labelled credits with a quality premium (25%) vs a high-risk legacy stock. Verifiable quality becomes an asset class. Key Data • Omnibus I (Directive (EU) 2026/470,…

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…

Stablecoins, CBDCs & ISO 20022: The new monetary architecture is taking shape in 2026-2027

2026-2027 is the window in which the digital currency architecture will lock in for a decade. 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…
