After spending forty-eight hours in London engaged in countless discussions, a single undeniable conclusion emerged: success favors infrastructure established on a foundation of trust.

We were delighted to host the Cardano Main Stage at @DAF_Global, where we explored critical topics. @F_Gregaard addressed the concept of the integrity economy, while @Thomas_ADA_ spoke about making trust transferable through Veridian. Additionally, @SandroKnopfelCF led a panel discussion on creating market-ready digital assets, joined by @AnzensOfficial, @MasumiNetwork, @libertum_token, and @issuanceswiss.

These themes resonated throughout our meetings with media representatives from @CNBC, @TheBigWhale_, @BullishDumpling, and @beincrypto. They all sought the answer to one primary question: which entities are truly dedicated to long-term development?

We also collaborated with partners within the ecosystem who are developing regulated and compliant infrastructure on Cardano. This group includes @USDMOfficial, @W3i_CEO, @blockjock2017, @libertum_token, @AzamJavvad, @issuanceswiss, @TapDano, and @AquaraOfficial.

The trip provided renewed energy, genuine momentum, and excellent dialogue. We appreciate everyone who took the time to interact with us. This is the path we take to construct the future of finance.

Over the course of two days in London, filled with countless meetings, a singular conclusion emerged: success is driven by infrastructure grounded in trust.

During @DAF_Global, we curated the Cardano Main Stage to highlight key industry shifts. @F_Gregaard explored the concept of the integrity economy, while @Thomas_ADA_ demonstrated how Veridian is facilitating transferable trust. Furthermore, @SandroKnopfelCF moderated a discussion on developing digital assets ready for the market, joined by @AnzensOfficial, @masumi_official, @libertum_io, and @issuanceswiss.

The sentiment from these sessions resonated during our dialogues with media outlets such as @CNBC, @TheBigWhale_, @BullishDumpling, and @beincrypto. Each inquired about the same fundamental issue: identifying those who are constructing solutions for the long haul.

Our time was also spent working alongside ecosystem partners who are establishing regulated, compliant infrastructure within Cardano. This group includes @USDMOfficial, @W3i_CEO, @blockjock2017, @libertum_io, @AzamJavvad, @monetaglobal_, @issuanceswiss, @TapDano, and @AquaraOfficial.

The interactions were excellent, generating renewed energy and genuine momentum. We want to thank everyone who paused to engage with us. This is precisely the way we construct the future of finance.

We extend our thanks to every individual who engaged with us and the Cardano ecosystem. The Digital Assets Forum proved to be a success, characterized by strong enthusiasm for Cardano. We truly valued the interactions at our booth, where we discussed essential themes such as real-world adoption, governance, and digital identity.

In an AI-first world, maintaining investor trust and market integrity requires a combination of digital public infrastructure, such as Cardano, and clear, forward-looking regulation. This morning, our CEO, @F_Gregaard, appeared on @CNBC SquawkBox Europe to discuss how blockchain technology can render financial market infrastructure more cost-effective, accessible, and efficient. During the discussion, he emphasized, “We need to be on a set of interoperable rails where trust is embedded in the architecture.” We want to thank Steve Sedgwick, @cnbcKaren, and @BenMBoulos for the conversation.
