Today, BTSE and Solidus Labs announced a new partnership 🤝 to power trade surveillance across BTSE’s global digital asset ecosystem.
Through Solidus Labs’ HALO Trade Surveillance, BTSE will strengthen oversight across digital assets and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), with behavioral and risk-based detection for market abuse and manipulation.
The partnership also brings HALO Model Testing and Market Inspection capabilities to BTSE’s compliance team, enabling more tailored detection, fewer false positives, and broader market context for investigations.
As BTSE expands across new asset classes and markets, we’re proud to support its commitment to building market integrity into its trading infrastructure from day one.

Our APAC team is heading to Korea Blockchain Week 2026 🇰🇷
Korea's digital asset market is moving fast. Institutional participation is growing, regulation is maturing, and exchanges are under more pressure than ever to show their markets are fair and well-monitored. That's the conversation we want to have in Seoul.
If you're building or running an exchange, a brokerage, or any venue where market integrity matters, we'd love to talk about.

Today, @GTNglobal and Solidus Labs announced a landmark partnership that deploys Solidus' HALO platform across GTN's internal and external operations. For brokers, banks, asset managers and fintechs, the era of surveillance as a barrier to market participation is over.
Under the partnership, HALO is deployed across GTN's global order book, delivering integrated trade surveillance and transaction monitoring across equities, fixed income, derivatives, FX and digital/crypto assets.
Beyond GTN's internal compliance operations, this partnership also introduces a surveillance layer that lets GTN's 500+ clients access dedicated HALO tenants through GTN's existing infrastructure–reducing implementation friction, increasing speed-to-market, and delivering institutional-grade coverage.
“Market access and market integrity are two sides of the same coin. Now, through institutional-grade surveillance by Solidus Labs, we're delivering both to our clients, combining our surveillance operations team and the technology of Solidus Labs into a client-facing product,” says Lawrence Deju-Wiseman, Head of RegTech Solutions at @GTNGlobal.
“We are committed to our clients' goals and success, without adding complexity. We can now let clients access strong surveillance technology, understand their risk exposure and speed up risk-aligned trade flow across markets and asset classes.”

RBG once said that "Dissents speak to a future age... that's the dissenter's hope: that they are writing not for today, but for tomorrow."
I thought about this a lot while prepping for my fireside with SEC Commissioner @HesterPeirce for @Solidus_Labs' DACOM 2026 NYC last week.

Bastion is the regulated stablecoin infrastructure provider behind global enterprises and financial institutions.
As enterprises bring stablecoins into their products and payment flows, they need infrastructure that can support them at scale while meeting the standards their regulators, auditors, and risk committees expect.
Our preliminary conditional approval from the OCC for a national trust bank charter extends that framework to the federal level, across stablecoin custody and wallets, payments infrastructure, and white-label issuance.
Read more in The Wall Street Journal on how Bastion is giving enterprises and financial institutions a regulated foundation to build and operate with stablecoins at scale.

🇨🇦 New episode of Compliance Champions: Delphine Forma sits down with Torstein Braaten (CCO at Canada Stablecorp, MD at Eskay Capital) to unpack Canada's distinctive approach to digital asset regulation — built around the "crypto contract" concept rather than regulating the assets themselves.
They cover the CSA, provincial regulators, CIRO and FINTRAC, custody and registration requirements, Dealer vs. Marketplace Platforms, best execution, cross-border liquidity challenges, and what's next for stablecoins, tokenisation and DeFi in Canada. 🎧

A massive congrats to @Bastion upon being granted conditional approval for a national trust bank charter from the OCC. We're incredibly proud to support Bastion, and are constantly inspired by their unwavering commitment to building stablecoin infrastructure with the highest degree of integrity and controls. Kuddos!
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has granted Bastion preliminary conditional approval for a national trust bank charter.
Since 2023, we’ve been building regulated stablecoin infrastructure for enterprises and financial institutions. We started with a money transmitter licenses, followed by our New York limited purpose trust charter for white-label stablecoin issuance, before the GENIUS Act was adopted, with a clear goal: give institutions a regulated foundation to build with stablecoins at scale.
“Enterprises and financial institutions want a safe way to build with stablecoins, with the same controls and oversight they already expect from their banks. We built Bastion for that from the start” Nassim Eddequiouaq, CEO of Bastion
Today’s decision moves that vision forward and brings large enterprises and financial institutions the regulated and secure infrastructure across stablecoin custody & wallets, payment infrastructure, and white-label issuance they need to build their own enterprise stablecoin programs.

Closing our panel sessions out on a high note!
@SECGov Commissioner @HesterPeirce on crypto regulation: “We needed to break the pattern” of using enforcement to draw the lines around what the industry could do. The goal now: establish a framework within which the industry can operate.
