Chainalysis Experts to Discuss Blockchain Risks, Opportunities and Compliance at Future Blockchain Summit
Dubai, United Arab Emirates–(Newsfile Corp. – October 6, 2022) – While supporting the UAE and other GCC countries as they look to leverage blockchain technology to establish a safe, secure, and transparent digital ecosystem, Chainalysis, the blockchain data platform, today announced its plans to participate at the 2022 edition of the Future Blockchain Summit (stand Z4-L67), taking place in Dubai from Oct 10-14.
Through a series of panel and keynote discussions as well as several ‘Lightning Talks’, Chainalysis will use the event to raise awareness and educate attendees on some of the most pressing challenges and opportunities that cryptocurrencies, DeFi and other Web3 technologies hold for the region.
“As our co-founder Jonathan Levin rightly pointed out during his visit to the region earlier this year, the UAE has the opportunity to be a model for other nations when it comes to establishing a crypto hub. Since this is still a fairly nascent space, the realisation of this ambition will require a major focus on regulation, built on a deep understanding of the underlying blockchain technology,” said Bas Lemmens, General Manager International, Chainalysis. “Given the work we are doing with governments across the globe, over the course of the five days at GITEX Global and the Future Blockchain Summit, we will focus on educating all stakeholders – from government entities and private sector organisations, to everyday consumers – on the fundamentals of blockchain technology.”
- The company will participate in two key panel discussions hosted by the organisers of the Future Blockchain Summit, which will take place on the side-lines of GITEX Global. These are:
Panel Discussion on Evolution of Virtual Asset Regulations featuring Amardeep Thandi, Director, Crypto Regulatory and Compliance Lead EMEA, Chainalysis
Monday, 10 October, 12:15pm on the Exchange Stage
- Presentation on Web3 Promises and Risks by Diederik van Wersch – Director, Mid-Market EMEA, Chainalysis and Shailendra Sadh – Advisory Solutions Architect, Chainalysis
Wednesday, 12 October, 1:00pm on the Block Stage
Chainalysis will also host the following sessions at its own stand located in Zabeel Hall (Z4-L67):
Sneak peek into Cryptocurrency Transaction Tracing at Scale by Shailendra Sadh, Advisory Solutions Architect, Chainalysis
Tuesday, 11 October, 1:00pm
- Compliance 101 for Financial Services and Crypto Natives by Amardeep Thandi, Director, Crypto Regulatory and Compliance Lead EMEA, Chainalysis
Wednesday, 12 October, 2:00pm
- Web 3 – Promises and Pitfalls by Diederik van Wersch – Director, Mid-Market EMEA, Chainalysis
Thursday, 13 October, 1:00pm
Visitors to the Chainalysis stand will get a first-in-region opportunity to experience live demos of Chainalysis Storyline, its Web3-native blockchain analysis tool, designed to visualise smart contract transactions, including DeFi and NFTs. With funds stolen from DeFi protocols accounting for 96% of the $2.28 billion worth of cryptocurrency stolen in security breaches and code exploits so far this year, Chainalysis Storyline solves a pressing need, and paves the way for building consumer confidence and trust in the underlying technology. With this solution, regulators and law enforcement agencies can get a holistic view of the movements of funds as they are transacted across blockchains, and pinpoint transactions and funds that matter the most to them.
“Backed by strong government support, the region has arguably one of the most dynamic and fast-growing crypto economies, globally. Whether it be via our recent MoU with the UAE government to train public sector employees, or by providing our technology to private sector entities looking to build crypto hubs, we are committed to offering tools that can help shape the digital future of the region. We are excited about the opportunity to showcase our expertise and technology at GITEX Global and the Future Blockchain Summit, and look forward to furthering our relationships with key regional stakeholders,” concluded Lemmens.

Asset Token Ventures Launches MBSTokenTM Funds to Unlock Mortgage-Backed Securities on the Blockchain
Asset Token Ventures (ATV), a leader in bridging real-world assets with blockchain, has launched MBSTokenTM, a groundbreaking solution that brings liquidity, transparency, and efficiency to the $11 trillion mortgage-backed securities (MBS) market. Designed for institutional accredited investors and qualified purchasers, MBSTokenTM offers onchain exposure to high-quality MBS assets, traditionally restricted to major financial institutions.
At the core of this initiative are two parallel funds: MBSToken ITM (for non-U.S. investors) and MBSToken IITM (for U.S. investors). By leveraging blockchain technology, ATV aims to democratize access to institutional-grade MBS-backed assets and modernize the fixed-income investment landscape.
“The fixed-income market, particularly MBS, is ripe for innovation,” said David Robnett, Co-Founder and Managing Director of ATV. “We are bringing institutional-grade MBS investments onchain, unlocking liquidity, improving transparency, and offering investors a seamless way to gain exposure to one of the most important financial markets.”
MBSTokenTM: A New Era for Fixed-Income Investment
MBSTokenTM is designed to deliver key advantages that address long-standing inefficiencies in the mortgage-backed securities market:
-
High-Quality Backing: MBSTokens are collateralized by pools of mortgage-backed securities, many of which are guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored entities such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae.
-
Tax Efficiency: ATV’s USVI-based funds qualify for a 90% income tax exemption that provides a higher overall yield and may allow investors to defer taxable appreciation until token redemption.
-
Blockchain Transparency: Transactions are recorded on an immutable ledger, providing real-time insight into asset performance and portfolio composition.
-
Enhanced Security: MBS holdings are structured into bankruptcy remote, stand-alone funds, providing an added layer of investor protection.
-
Global Access and Liquidity: MBSTokenTM allows institutional accredited investors and qualified purchasers worldwide to participate in the U.S. mortgage-backed securities market with seamless 24/7 access and liquidity.
Institutional and Investor Participation
MBSToken’s launch underscores growing institutional interest in tokenized real-world assets. ATV has already attracted significant attention from family offices, sovereign wealth funds, and institutional investors looking to diversify their portfolios with secure, yield-generating assets.
“Fixed-income markets are undergoing a digital transformation,” commented John Matheson, Co-Founder and Managing Director of ATV. “By leveraging blockchain technology, we are making MBS investments more accessible, more efficient, and ultimately more valuable for global investors.”

The Broader Impact of Tokenization in Fixed-Income Markets
The $11 trillion U.S. mortgage-backed securities market plays a critical role in global finance, but historically, its complexity and inaccessibility have limited participation. MBSTokenTM marks a significant step toward digitizing fixed-income markets, offering a bridge between traditional financial structures and the efficiencies of blockchain technology.
The launch of MBSTokenTM aligns with a broader industry trend as major financial institutions increasingly explore tokenization as a means to unlock liquidity, reduce costs, and improve market efficiency. ATV’s innovative approach positions MBSTokenTM as a leader in the evolution of blockchain-powered fixed-income investments.
Paul Talbert, Co-Founder and Managing Director of ATV, said, “We believe tokenization will redefine how capital is deployed in traditional markets. MBSTokenTM is the first step toward a more inclusive and efficient financial ecosystem, one that integrates the best of institutional finance with blockchain’s transformative potential.”
