The second Belgrade edition of the TMRW conference is announced, scheduled for May 12 – 14 2023. “I want to thank everyone who supported us at our Dubai debut; our amazing speakers, partners, media and audience. Our goal has always been to connect our visitors with the greatest global minds, to inspire the move forward and to bring the future closer. We are working hard to bring the highest quality programming alongside the incredible productions while providing the networking opportunities to everyone involved. And we’re happy to be able to do it around the world. We are proud to announce our second Belgrade edition from May 12th till 14th, which will be our biggest event so far, and I would like to invite everyone to join us!” said Mladjen Merdovic, Founder and CEO of TMRW conference.

Dr. Marwan Alzarouni, Strategic Advisor at Digital Dubai, welcomed the audience on the first day and emphasized Dubai’s role in being the hub of tech while Khalifa Al Jaziri Alshehhi, advisor of the Ministry of Economy, demonstrated the first Ministry having presence in the Metaverse. They were followed by Michael Gebert, Chairman of the European Blockchain Association who was speaking about the future of blockchain and Christian Gleich, CEO of one Big Wave who talked about the future of Metaverse. Panel of the day gathered the Web3 Lady leaders Loretta Joseph, Ritu Marya, Aleksa Mil, Jenny Zheng and Anita Kalergis “KryptoGranny” to discuss the potential in Web3. The day one ended with the exclusive launch of the VVerse project. Christopher Quet, CEO and co-founder of Vverse Technologies, said: “We wanted to bring real world use inside the Metaverse. We believe that Metaverse should be a land of opportunities bringing on abundance rather than scarcity. You can onboard and edit your own dimension with our builder and through our library of more than 100,000 assets. You can create events, concerts, you name it, you can do it.

Day two continued to bring great topics and speakers. Loretta Joseph, Director at AP Capital, spoke about the different regulatory frameworks for digital and virtual assets: “I don’t think there’s ever been a more important time to be talking about regulation. Regulation is coming. We all need to work with the policy makers to ensure that we have sensible regulation, and to harness the opportunities of technology and innovation“, she said. Dr. Mark Van Rijmenam, The Digital Speaker, talked about generative AI and the convergence with the Metaverse. “We have this technology, which is super powerful to create text, voice, audio, virtual worlds, assets, anything on the fly just with your voice. That will create Metaverse and bring it faster than through coding.” Anndy Lian, Best Selling Book Author – NFT: From Zero to Hero talked about Web4 as a new way to decentralize. “The Metaverse ecosystem and Web3 needs to be more decentralized. Web4 would be a totally different era, with machines and with full automation. If we want to really create a more sustainable, decentralized environment, we’ve got to make the change. And again, a Web4 could be the possible angle.” Dusan Zica, CEO & CTO of the NFT Comic Book 2142, brought the philosophical approach to building the world in his keynote From NFT Comic Book to video game: “The idea is to make comic books and video games presenting our view that technology should be in line with spirituality and humanity, and it should be observed strictly as a tool and not the driving force. Humanity’s humanity should be the driving force. Otherwise the technology can get instrumentalized instead of becoming decentralized,” he concluded.

Last day of the conference brought great global masterminds to the stage. Sharad Agarwal, Chief Metaverse Officer at cyber-gear.io, presented the topic Business and Metaverse: “I talked about how the Internet changed over the years. Metaverse as a technology is something new, and over the next 5 to 7 years, we will see its mass adoption. Metaverse will be used in different industries. Brands should start dabbling with the Metaverse, and get customers to experience it,” he added. Jonscott Turco, Founder & CEO at COre3.io, spoke about reinventing business, exploring opportunities and challenges of the Metaverse and future technology. “In the heart of every successful business is the belief that something greater exists than simply the bottom line. It’s a belief in the power of people and connection and today, more than ever, the power of technology to bring us closer together and amplify community and collective intelligence towards purposeful outcomes.” Davinci Jeremie, talked about the differences of using NFTs for just artwork and for utility purposes. “In return, you get access to someone or access to a concert; that’s an example of utility. I believe that it can also be useful in the community sense, where you bring a community of people together, sharing a common goal,” he explained. Stephanie Bretonniere, CEO, POWR3 & WE IMPACT.WORLD explained how important it is to connect people. “Sustainability has to bring impact that will elaborate those technologies to convert every single individual into a changemaker.”

Blocks & Headlines: Today in Blockchain – May 9, 2025 | Robinhood, Solana, Tether, China, Women in Web3

Published

on

blocks-&-headlines:-today-in-blockchain-–-may-9,-2025-|-robinhood,-solana,-tether,-china,-women-in-web3

 

Today’s blockchain landscape pulses with innovation, expansion and strategic jockeying. From established trading platforms laying the groundwork for international tokenized US asset markets to fresh efforts empowering women in Web3, the industry is evolving at frantic pace. Solana-based tokenization pathways, China’s state-driven blockchain masterplan and Tether’s push onto new Layer-1 rails further underscore diversification. In this daily op-ed, we unpack five major developments—examining what they mean for DeFi growth, NFT marketplaces, regulatory contours and the ongoing quest for greater inclusivity in crypto.


1. Robinhood’s European Blockchain Trading Ambitions

News Summary
Robinhood Markets Inc. is reportedly constructing its own blockchain infrastructure to facilitate trading of U.S. equities and other assets in European markets. Insiders suggest the project seeks to leverage distributed-ledger technology for settlement efficiency, near-real-time clearing and reduced reliance on legacy central counterparties. The move signals Robinhood’s ambition to transcend its domestic brokerage roots and capture European retail and institutional order flow.

Key Details

Advertisement
  • Infrastructure Build: A private, permissioned ledger governed by Robinhood and selected counterparties.

  • Asset Scope: U.S. equities, ETFs and potentially tokenized debt instruments.

  • Regulatory Interface: Engagements with the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) to align on custody and market-making rules.

  • Timeline: Internal pilots slated for Q4 2025, with public rollout in mid-2026.

Analysis & Opinion
Robinhood’s pivot underscores a broader industry trend: exchanges and brokerages striving to “own the rails” rather than simply interface with existing clearinghouses. By internalizing settlement on a bespoke blockchain, Robinhood hopes to slash settlement times from T+2 to near-instant, a boon for liquidity providers and high-frequency traders. However, risks include the complexity of cross-border regulatory compliance and the operational challenge of maintaining robust on-chain and off-chain reconciliations.

From a DeFi convergence standpoint, Robinhood’s ledger could bridge traditional and decentralized finance, enabling tokenized margin lending and programmable corporate actions directly on-chain. Should Robinhood open permission to DeFi protocols, we may witness new hybrid liquidity pools that blend CEX order books with AMM liquidity. This would mark a milestone in mainstream DeFi adoption—and potentially pressure incumbents like Nasdaq to innovate their own on-chain settlement layers.

2. Women in Web3: Cultivating Greater Gender Diversity

News Summary
A recent deep-dive from Cointelegraph spotlights the persistent gender gap in blockchain and crypto. Despite Web3’s ethos of decentralization, women represent less than 20 percent of crypto investors and under 10 percent of core development teams. The article outlines initiatives—from targeted grants and incubation programs to mentorship networks—aimed at lowering barriers and attracting more female talent.

Key Details

  • Current Statistics: Women account for approximately 17 percent of crypto traders globally; in development, the share dips below 8 percent.

  • Notable Initiatives:

    • Women in Blockchain Fund: USD 50 million allocated for early-stage female founders.

    • Global Web3 Sisters Network: Mentorship platform pairing novices with veteran executives.

    • University Partnerships: Scholarships for women studying blockchain engineering and cryptography.

Analysis & Opinion
Web3’s promise of equal-opportunity innovation rings hollow if half the population remains sidelined. Heightened grant funding and mentorship can help, but systemic change requires cultural shifts within DAOs, core teams and investor circles. Projects and protocols must adopt policies—like blind code reviews, diversity hiring quotas and inclusive governance frameworks—to ensure sustainable participation.

Moreover, as the industry grapples with regulatory scrutiny, diverse leadership can foster better risk management and community trust. Women leaders have often been at the forefront of compliance, ethics and consumer protection—even in traditional finance—qualities sorely needed in crypto’s maturing phase. Token projects that embed gender-diverse advisory boards may see stronger reputational profiles and wider community buy-in.

3. SOL Strategies: Tokenizing Shares on Solana

News Summary
SOL Strategies, a financial-services startup, is exploring a pathway to tokenize private and publicly traded shares on the Solana blockchain. Their recently filed whitepaper proposes a framework where equity is represented as SPL tokens, enabling fractional ownership, 24/7 trading and programmable dividend distributions.

Key Details

  • Token Standard: Extension of Solana Program Library (SPL) with “Equity Token” schema.

  • Custody Model: Licensed custodian holds underlying shares; token holders have legal claim via smart-contract link.

  • Compliance Layer: On-chain KYC/AML middleware to restrict token transfers to approved wallets.

  • Pilot Partners: Early engagements with two mid-cap European tech firms eyeing capital-raising via tokenization.

Analysis & Opinion
Tokenized equity stands to revolutionize capital markets by lowering minimum investment thresholds and unlocking global liquidity. On Solana, with its sub-second finality and low fees, fractional shares could trade seamlessly—outpacing Ethereum’s scalability challenges. Yet the critical hurdle lies in regulatory acceptance: will securities regulators view these tokens as bona fide equity or as unregistered securities?

SOL Strategies’ integrated custody approach could mollify regulators, replicating existing T+2 standards while enabling T+0 settlement on-chain. Should they secure regulatory sandbox approvals in the U.K. or Singapore, other blockchains—like Stellar and Polkadot—may race to develop similar tokenization toolkits. For DeFi protocols, tokenized equities could become collateral in lending pools, further intertwining traditional and decentralized finance.

4. China’s Blockchain Playbook: Infrastructure, Influence & New Frontiers

News Summary
The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) published an extensive analysis of China’s state-driven blockchain strategy. Beyond its digital yuan rollout, Beijing is investing in cross-border infrastructure, influencing global standards bodies and forging Belt and Road blockchain corridors across Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Key Details

  • Key Initiatives:

    • BSN 2.0: Blueprint for national and international consortium chains.

    • International Standards: Active lobbying in ISO/TC 307 for governance models favoring state-actors.

    • Tech Diplomacy: Blockchain MOUs with Pakistan, Indonesia and several African union members.

  • Strategic Goals: Extend digital yuan acceptance, export Chinese ledger tech, shape global governance.

Analysis & Opinion
China’s multi-pronged approach signals blockchain’s emergence as a theater of geopolitical competition. By undercutting SWIFT dependency and offering turnkey consortium-chain solutions, Beijing enhances its financial influence in Belt and Road countries. Western governments and multinationals must navigate this blockchain bifurcation—between open public rails and permissioned state-backed consortia.

For crypto projects, the CSIS report offers both caution and opportunity. While the digital yuan may corner state-aligned corridors, decentralized networks remain resilient by design. Projects focusing on interoperability—such as Polkadot bridges and Cosmos IBC—can link fragmented chains and preserve open value transfer. Investors should monitor on-chain metrics in emerging markets, as Chinese-backed consortium chains gain traction in cross-border trade finance.

5. Tether Expands Stablecoin Reach to 196 Million Users via Kaia

News Summary
Tether has launched USDT on the Kaia blockchain, bringing its flagship stablecoin to Kaia’s user base of approximately 196 million. Kaia, a burgeoning Layer-1 optimized for high-throughput mobile applications, opens new corridors for USDT in gaming, remittances and micro-trading in emerging markets.

Advertisement

Key Details

  • Technical Integration: USDT issued as a native Kaia token, supported by Tether’s reserve-backing audit framework.

  • User Impact: Near-zero fees for micro-transactions; sub-second confirmation times even on mobile networks.

  • Partnership Scope: Integration with Kaia’s wallet SDK and gaming marketplace; joint launch of an educational DApp for fiat-on-ramp literacy.

Analysis & Opinion
By deploying on Kaia, Tether diversifies its blockchain footprint beyond Ethereum, Tron and Solana, underscoring a multi-chain thesis for stablecoin ubiquity. Emerging-market users—often plagued by volatile local currencies—stand to benefit immensely from a mobile-first, low-cost remittance rail. Moreover, Kaia’s developer incentives may spawn DeFi lending dApps collateralized by USDT, fueling localized credit markets.

Yet healthy competition among blockchains for stablecoin volume could concentrate risk: reserve transparency, network stability and regulatory compliance will differentiate winners. Tether’s public attestations and reserve audits are critical, but as US regulators intensify scrutiny on stablecoin giants, projects deploying on smaller chains may face fresh legal complexities around money-transmission licensing.

Conclusion & Key Takeaways

  • Institutional On-ramp Acceleration: Robinhood’s European chain signals major brokerages view blockchain as core infrastructure—not mere gadget.

  • Inclusivity Imperative: Women’s underrepresentation remains a blindspot; targeted grants and cultural reforms are needed for equal Web3 participation.

  • Tokenization Tide: Solana’s high-speed rails may host the next wave of equity tokens, bridging capital markets and DeFi.

  • Geopolitical Battlegrounds: China’s consortium chains and digital-yuan corridors illustrate how blockchain is reshaping global influence.

  • Stablecoin Multichain Strategy: Tether’s Kaia integration reflects the logic of diversifying rails to reach underserved, mobile-first users.

As blockchain advances, the interplay between technological innovation, regulatory frameworks and social inclusion will define whether the next chapter of crypto fulfills its vision of open, equitable finance—or replicates old hierarchies in digital garb. Today’s headlines underscore that the path forward lies in cross-chain interoperability, proactive policy-shaping, and a relentless focus on broadening the community that stewards and benefits from these transformative networks.
