🎬 Back Office Odyssey | Episode 1/4: The Odyssey Begins We took the name "Odyssey" a little too literally and made a tongue-in-cheek AI video series about the digital asset back office. Meet Mark, a fictional bank CFO tasked with transforming his institution's back office for digital assets. Naturally, his search for answers takes him on a rather unexpected journey... But the challenge Mark faces is very real. Supporting digital asset activity means bringing together fragmented data across blockchains, custodians, exchanges and internal systems, while maintaining the accounting, reconciliation and controls that financial institutions depend on. AI is making it easier to build new applications and workflows, but the financial infrastructure underneath remains incredibly difficult to get right. That's exactly the challenge we're addressing with Cryptio Odyssey. And yes, that's our CEO Antoine on the ship. ⛵

Every exchange, broker, and asset manager we speak with operates across multiple regulatory regimes. And we've never met a finance team that enjoys rewriting the same accounting policy from scratch for each one. That's the problem the Policy Generator solves. It starts from a library of pre-written, expert-maintained policies – already tailored to your company type, cost basis method, and regulatory environment. Wherever AI personalizes the language for your business, we flag it clearly. Nothing ships without a human decision behind it. It all runs on a view-and-approve model: what's deterministic stays definitively correct, what's AI-generated stays visible for review. Want to see it live? Book a demo 👉cryptio.co/demo

Congratulations to the @Securitize team on their recent NYSE debut under the ticker SECZ! This is a major milestone not just for Securitize, but for the broader tokenization market – marking one of the clearest public-market validations yet for the sector. At Cryptio, we’re proud to support Securitize with crypto back-office infrastructure, helping power the accounting, reporting and reconciliation workflows behind their digital asset activity, including the financial reporting required for their public listing. It has been amazing working with the Securitize team, and we’re excited to continue supporting them through this next chapter as a public company. Congratulations again to Carlos Domingo, Sidra Pervaiz, Francisco Flores and the entire Securitize team.

Introducing Cryptio's Intelligence Suite. AI is everywhere in crypto finance right now. Most teams are already using it to draft policies, investigate breaks, and generate reports. But there is a question that does not get asked often enough: if your auditor pushes on a position that an AI tool helped produce, what is the answer? Output is not the same as defensibility. And in a new industry where accounting standards are still being written, that gap is exactly where audit cycles lengthen, review scopes widen, and finance teams lose weeks they cannot get back. The Intelligence Suite is built on a different premise entirely. The critical components, i.e. your chart of accounts benchmark, your policy positions, your reconciliation logic, your financial statement outputs are deterministic. Built on the codified expertise of a team behind 300+ audits, 5+ IPOs, and the accounting frameworks used by 450 of the world's largest digital asset enterprises. Always correct, always traceable, always audit-defensible. AI is then applied selectively on top of that foundation for personalisation, for surfacing root causes, for accelerating the work that benefits from it. With a clear view and approve model: every AI-generated output or suggestion is explicitly flagged, so your team stays in control of every decision. The best of both worlds. It enables finance teams and controllers to: ✅ Benchmark their chart of accounts against full GAAP and IFRS guidance, calibrated to their specific entity type and regulatory lenses ✅ Generate accounting policies tied directly to live workspace decisions, authored on an advisory-maintained base and updated as elections change ✅ Document principal market determinations per asset with full qualitative and quantitative rationale, structured for auditor review ✅ Build complete financial statements end-to-end from workspace data: schedules, footnotes, and narrative, every figure traceable to source ✅ Run a structured, sequenced month-end close with an expert-trained investigation layer on every reconciliation break, and a full audit log on every action The invisible work in a digital asset audit. Done. Watch below to find out more.

Introducing Cryptio Fund Administration. Following our $45m Series B, we shared our vision to build the data transformation and ERP platform for regulated digital assets. Today, we’re taking the next step in that vision. As digital asset funds mature, fund administrators are being asked to support increasingly complex strategies across spot markets, derivatives, DeFi, staking, tokenized assets, and hybrid fund structures – often fragmented across custodians, exchanges, and on-chain environments. Existing systems were not designed for the realities of digital asset fund accounting and NAV operations. Cryptio Fund Administration is built on the same reconciled, PwC audited SOC 2-compliant data foundation already trusted by 400+ institutions globally – including Circle, SG Forge, Laser Digital, Uphold, Securitize and Gemini. It enables fund administrators and fund issuers to: -Aggregate digital asset activity across on-chain and off-chain environments -Perform digital asset fund accounting and strike NAV daily or intraday -Support hybrid fund structures, multi-entity setups, feeder funds, creations/redemptions, and complex strategies -Automatically identify discrepancies between administrator records and shadow books across positions, transactions, and valuations As digital asset funds scale, fund administration infrastructure needs to evolve with them. Watch below to find out more.

Crypto Finance Forum London 2026 is in full swing at Landing 42. With panoramic views over the City and a full house of 200+ CFOs, COOs, auditors and finance leaders, the atmosphere is buzzing with sharp insights, thoughtful questions and candid conversations shaping the future of regulated digital assets. This morning began with The tokenization of equities and funds: what changes for issuers, investors and operators?, featuring Kim Hochfeld (@StateStreet), Nadine Teychenne (@Citi), Robert Crossley (@FranklnTempletn) and Amor Sexton (@BlockdaemonHQ), moderated by Jeff Rundlet (Cryptio) – exploring what tokenization changes in practice for the institutions issuing, investing in and operating these products. Next, Banking in the age of stablecoins brought together Joy Adams (@DeutscheBank), Alex Dunn (@Visa), Benoit Marzouk (@tokenGBP) and Karan Shah (@openfx_), moderated by Antoine Scalia (Cryptio) – unpacking how stablecoins are beginning to reshape payments, liquidity, treasury operations and the relationship between digital asset firms and the banking system. Some early highlights from the stage: -Amor compared tokenization to the container revolution in logistics. The shipping container did not just make goods easier to move; it changed the infrastructure around global trade, from ships and ports to trucks and storage systems. In the same way, tokenization will only reach its full potential when the surrounding infrastructure for issuance, custody, settlement and servicing evolves to take full potential of the benefits of these new asset wrappers. -Joy highlighted that banks are taking both stablecoins and tokenized money market funds seriously. The firms best positioned for the next phase will be those that understand how these instruments relate to each other, and how they may interact across payments, liquidity, settlement and investment ecosystems. -Alex was candid that Visa sees stablecoins as both a threat and an opportunity. Integrating with stablecoin infrastructure is partly defensive, but it is also a major strategic opportunity for institutions that understand where digital money is heading and move early to shape how it enters mainstream payments. And the day is far from over. 🎤 Live on stage: Finance Leaders Outlook: Managing the dynamics of the industry, with Philipp Prince (@BCBcrypto), Julian Kelly (@Bitwise), Nathan Pearman (Copper) and Teresa Cameron (@ClearJunction), moderated by Marek Walendowski (@EYnews). Still to come: Institutionalization of crypto prime brokerage & lending, with Daniel Elsawey (@Bitpanda), Myles Harrison (@AMINABankGlobal), Al Turnbull (@blockchain) and James Harris (@tesseract_fi), moderated by Hemant Pandit (Cryptio). And finally, a fireside chat with Sumeera Younis, Chief of Operations, Crypto Task Force at the SEC, and Antoine Scalia, Founder & CEO of Cryptio. Stay tuned, the conversations continue.

"Railnet is the invisible infrastructure layer for the next generation of on-chain finance." We sat down with @laszlo__szabo, Co-founder & CEO of @Kiln_finance, in an interview conducted by @BukovskiBuko3, Lead Analyst at @TheBigWhale_, to explore Railnet - Kiln’s new orchestration infrastructure designed to unify hybrid yields and bring institutional-grade asset management on-chain. For banks, asset managers, fintechs, and corporates, one feature stands out: real-time NAV (Net Asset Value) calculations - something traditional finance struggles to provide. "During redemption periods, tokens leave the portfolio but cash hasn’t arrived yet. For days, the fund’s value can technically be wrong. Teams have to manually adjust the numbers. It’s archaic." Railnet fixes this according to @Kiln_finance a leading staking platform (one of @Figment_io's biggest challengers) by encoding each transaction on-chain: "Each operation is encapsulated in a token representing its real-time state. That guarantees a NAV that is always accurate and transparent - something traditional finance can’t provide." This automated, auditable NAV is a game-changer for institutions, reducing operational risk, improving compliance, and giving full transparency on all positions. It’s a major reason @CoinSharesCo has joined Railnet, using it to manage multi-asset allocations across lending protocols, tokenized equities, and real-world assets - all within a single unified framework. "For investors, it becomes a single entry point into a complex multi-asset strategy." @laszlo__szabo is clear about the roadmap: "2026 will be the year of on-chain asset management." In the full interview, Szabo also covers: 👉 Railnet’s architecture and compliance framework tailored for regulated institutions 👉 Bridging DeFi and tokenized RWAs for institutional adoption 👉 Security upgrades after last year’s incident 👉 Upcoming Tier-1 partnerships "We rebuilt what is, by far, the most secure platform in the market." The full interview is available here: app.thebigwhale.io/article/l… We’ll also discuss this in Paris on April 14, just ahead of @signalweek - a session aimed at banks, corporates, asset managers, and fintechs exploring how on-chain finance can transform institutional asset management: luma.com/thebigwhale-april With @TheBigWhale_ already serving over 150 financial institutions, this is essential reading for anyone looking at regulated DeFi and hybrid yield strategies.

We are excited to announce that we’ve raised a $45M Series B, co-led by BlackFin Capital Partners and Sentinel Global, with continued support from @blueyard, @1kxnetwork, Alven and Ledger Cathay. 8 years ago, we made a bet that digital assets will be integrated into regulated financial markets. That thesis is playing out. Given our early commitment, we pioneered auditable data transformation and back-office operations for financial institutions, banks, asset managers and fintechs. Today, 400 leading institutions across the ecosystem rely on us to manage accounting, reconciliation, and financial reporting across blockchain-based operations. This new funding allows us to accelerate our mission of building the ERP infrastructure layer for the digital asset economy. We’re expanding the platform with new applications on top of our data layer, including loan management, treasury management and tokenization compliance. Huge thanks to our investors, customers, partners and especially the incredible Cryptio team who made this possible.

Every stablecoin and every tokenized asset onchain is a liability. The asset backing it lives offchain. Reconciling the two is the core compliance control, and it gets harder with every chain you're on. @AntoineScalia, Founder & CEO of @cryptio_co: "How can I trust the data that I see onchain? How can I have a reliable liability number that I can use? And how can I do this when my token is on 50 different chains, with hundreds of thousands of mints and burns every day?"

Enterprise crypto accounting in NetSuite used to mean manual spreadsheets, broken dimensional data, and slow month-ends – until now. Cryptio’s NetSuite integration respects multi-entity hierarchies, dimensional accuracy, and audit-ready journals – so finance teams close faster and stay in control. 👇Watch how it works 🔗 Or read the full blog to see why Cryptio is the obvious choice for NetSuite users 👉 blog.cryptio.co/cryptio-the-…
