At the Abu Dhabi Investment Forum in Seoul on 16th September, Hashed and the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO, @InvestAbuDhabi ) signed an MOU to strengthen Korea–Abu Dhabi investment ties.
Our role is to be the bridge between the two and to help both economies grow together.
Grateful to the ADIO team. This is just the beginning.

Tomorrow, 100 leaders gather in Tokyo. 🇯🇵
Our deepest gratitude to the speakers, sponsors, and guests joining us at BLS Tokyo 2026, especially to Limitless (@trylimitless / @lmtls_research), DFNS(@dfnsHQ), and Circle(@circle) for standing behind it.
Technology doesn't move on roadmaps. It moves on trust between people who choose to keep showing up for each other.
Japan has taught us this better than anywhere. Here, the long game isn't a strategy. It's a way of being.
Tomorrow isn't about announcements. It's about the conversations that quietly compound into the blockchain, AI, and emerging technologies that will shape what Japan builds next.
See you at the table.

This milestone reinforces ADGM’s position as an international financial centre with a forward-looking regulatory environment supporting innovation, fintech, and digital assets, and reflects growing momentum as leading global firms choose ADGM and Abu Dhabi to establish and scale regional operations.

Last September, 500 leaders from finance, policy, academia, and the digital asset industry gathered for eight hours of closed-door roundtables on stablecoin reserve requirements, regulatory frameworks, and institutional settlement rails.
Much of the discussion stayed behind closed doors.
This report brings together the key themes that emerged — many of which are now becoming more relevant across the market.

Proud to share that Hashed has invested in HiT Grading & Authentication.
This marks a major milestone in our journey to build trusted infrastructure for the collectibles market across the UAE and wider region.
At HiT, we believe collectibles are becoming a serious global asset class, and the Middle East is only getting started.
With Hashed’s support, we look forward to scaling HiT further across grading, authentication, retail, and marketplace growth.
Big things ahead.

Culture creates value before markets can price it. Collectibles are where that gap closes.
Hashed led investment in HiT Grading & Authentication (@h1tgcc) — the GCC’s first collectibles grading & authentication company.
The Middle East’s collector economy is growing fast. Korean IP is expanding globally. The corridor between them needed infrastructure. HiT is building it.

Regional tensions rise and fall. Our commitment to the UAE is built for the long run.
Hashed established its ADGM-licensed entity in Abu Dhabi not as a trend, but as a long-term strategic commitment — one rooted in a genuine belief in the UAE's role as the next great hub for technology and digital innovation.
That belief hasn't changed. If anything, it has grown stronger.
The UAE has built something rare: a forward-looking regulatory environment, a bold vision for digital infrastructure, and a culture of openness to global ideas and capital. These are the foundations of lasting ecosystems — and they don't bend to short-term turbulence.
We remain here, as committed as ever, to help grow that ecosystem alongside the institutions, founders, and partners who are building the UAE's digital future.

📢 Hashed（@hashed_official) has been confirmed as a Gold Sponsor of the Next-Generation Finance Conference “MoneyX 2026”!
Founded by a team of serial entrepreneurs and engineers in 2017, Hashed is the preeminent blockchain firm in Asia with a portfolio that spans the globe. We started Hashed because we saw an opportunity for blockchain to not only reinvent the global financial system, but the very fabric of the internet itself. This is one of the most consequential moments in human history — an opportunity to overlay the power of digital networks onto human ones, and to usher in a future where technology empowers individuals, and not the other way around.
【Message from Hashed to Attendees】
Hashed is honored to join MoneyX 2026 as a Gold Sponsor. As a global web3 venture capital and ecosystem builder, we will continue supporting founders and partners advancing stablecoin and digital asset infrastructure across Abu Dhabi (ADGM) and Korea. We look forward to partnering with Japan’s leading stakeholders to catalyze cross-border innovation and accelerate a resilient, interoperable digital finance ecosystem.

Protocol Camp 2025 wrapped with a Final Demo Day that proved one thing: Building real Web3 products goes far beyond technical execution.
Designed by @hashed_official & @0xShardLab, Protocol Camp is a selective 12-week builder program for teams with prior product or dev experience—focused on research, protocol & product design, and continuous real-world validation.
Demo Day evaluations went beyond “what was built” to whether it can actually survive outside the program—from problem depth and differentiation to scalability, traction, and execution quality.
As @simonkim_nft shared, strong protocols aren’t shaped by code alone, but by people, peers, and communities.
And as @harryhojinkim noted, the cohort’s external recognition reflects competitiveness well beyond Protocol Camp itself.

해시드 연례 보고서 [프로토콜 경제: 해시드 2026] 국문 버전이 나왔습니다.
이 보고서에서 말하는 핵심은 2026년쯤부터 디지털 자산은 더 이상 “오르면 사고, 떨어지면 파는 대상”이 아니라, 실제로 돌아가는 경제의 일부가 되기 시작한다는 관점입니다.
스테이블코인은 이미 결제·정산 인프라처럼 쓰이기 시작했고,
AI 에이전트는 사람 대신 판단하고 거래하는 주체로 하나씩 등장하고 있습니다. 프라이버시 인프라도 이제는 선택이 아니라, 기관이 디지털 자산을 다루기 위한 기본 조건에 가까워지고 있고요. 이건 방향성 얘기라기보다는, 이미 여기저기서 관측되는 변화에 가깝습니다.
그래서 해시드도 실물자산 발행, 토큰화된 프라이빗 크레딧, 기업 재무 운영, 기관 간 결제처럼 “실제로 쓰이기 시작한 온체인 업무”가 어디서 만들어지고 있는지에 더 집중하고 있습니다.
앞으로 AI와 온체인이 결합된 자율적인 시스템이 늘어날수록,
결국 남는 팀은 이야기 잘하는 팀이 아니라 사용자, 사용량, 그리고 지속 가능한 수익 구조를 함께 만들어내는 팀일 거라는 생각이고요.
이제는 “다음 사이클”을 이야기하기보다, 이미 돌아가기 시작한 구조가 어디인지를 보는 게 더 중요해진 시점인 것 같습니다.

It was proud to join @ADFinanceWeek as an Official Partner with @hashed_official, contributing to a panel discussion and co-hosting the Web3 Leaders Roundtable with @ADGlobalMarket Emerging Tech on how financial and technology systems were being designed, governed, and deployed beyond the US.
On the panel, “The Global Silicon Valley: What It Takes to Win Outside the US,” I spoke about the UAE’s role in creating conditions for scale—through long-term vision, regulatory clarity, and sustained public-private alignment rather than short-term incentives.
At the Web3 Leaders Roundtable, regulators, financial institutions, and infrastructure builders examined stablecoins, digital asset market structure, and AI-driven financial rails, focusing on how policy and infrastructure translated into real economic activity.
Durable ecosystems tended to emerge where vision, rules, and execution moved in the same direction.

Hashed has published its annual report, The Protocol Economy: Hashed 2026. In 2026, digital assets will begin operating not as a speculative category, but as a functional economic system. This shift is structural and visible in the rails, not the narratives.

What is ETH actually worth?
The crypto industry deserves better than price speculation.
I built a dashboard to think about ETH's intrinsic value with 8 models:
