This is happening on @intainft with banks on financing debt of fintech lenders (buy-side) as seeking asset-backed financing against their loan book (sell-side) connecting with our L1.
US banks should lead the development of tokenized financial products on @avax americanbanker.com/opinion/us-ban…
I mentioned this during an asset-backed finance podcast recently, quoting a techie friend, who moved from blockchain space to AI..'In an AI meet, I find 80-90% ppl passionate abt technology & motivated by it; rest by money; in a crypto conf, proportion was the opposite'
Unpopular opinion: In crypto, too much money is spent chasing small, quick gains. Focus on ethical teams that build for the long term. Big money is built slowly with stamina.
That makes it two of us mechanical engineers at Intain - who knew that fixing the structured finance infrastructure would need people who know a thing or two about fixing plant and machinery 🙂
Great to have Jon on board - rare combination of 'TradFi' (UBS, JP Morgan) and crypto (Bitgo) ...
Rohit combines proven deal‑modelling and analytics experience with a leading trustee and a rating agency, that aligns with Intain’s data-first philosophy. This will help us explore new asset classes and deal structures, and embed AI deeper into everyday workflow
As insightful as always @karpathy ..
Andrej Karpathy's (@karpathy) keynote yesterday at AI Startup School in San Francisco.
There is an incumbency moat that ppl don't understand. We at @intainft model and report dozens of ABS/MBS deals. Whatever great analytics we may provide, we still need to provide a table in 'Bloomberg' format for it to consume the data. This is what Bloomberg users benefit from
Companies that try to replace Bloomberg misunderstand one important fundamental: your financial clients are willing (and capable ) to pay 2x more if you are 20% better than Bloomberg; but few will settle for anything that’s 20% worse regardless of the cost.
Now 23B+ by May end. Every deal on IntainMARKETS is supported by compliance infra, reporting rigour and analytical insights that is shared with some of most prominent TradFi Securitizations and Credit Facilities
When we reported deal values at the end of 2024, we had hoped we’d crossed $20B — it just had a nice ring to it. Well, we didn’t have to wait long.
High time blockchain solutions targeted real problems in TradFi - cross border payments is one of them (on the other hand, MM are one of the more efficient parts of TradFi with low costs and high liquidity). It was great to see this reflected at the Fintech Forum
Back in the seat after a packed week of Avalanche-focused events—including our founder-centric FinTech Forum & the broader @avax Summit. Sharing some key takeaways from an energizing few days with the ecosystem: ✅Avalanche continues to solidify its reputation as the home of…
Great time yesterday catching up with everyone at the #AvalancheSummit - investors and investment managers looking to traditional financial investments on-chain, the Ava Clouds team and others building in the Avalanche ecosystem.
Excited about #AvalancheSummit next week. I have no idea who (or who all) will win the protocol race. But just engaging with those who talk like builders rather than cult members is such a difference with @avax team
Integrated data ops with automation of operational tasks, across stakeholders connected on a blockchain network, is the value IntainMARKETS brings. This is why we are able to work with regional and community banks, away from the 'RWA tokenization' glare. businesswire.com/news/home/2025…
If you’re in consumer credit, structured finance, or securitization, you know the challenges: manual reconciliations, fragmented data, regulatory complexity, and inefficiencies that slow everything down. But what if we could finally fix it? @SidIntain1 youtu.be/MQ-gsDlR57o?si…
It was great talking to William Black, formerly an MD with Moody's on his podcast. The friendly 'getting to know' blockchain and AI in structured finance stuff, as well as courteous but tough, 'why is mainstream adoption of blockchain always n+5 years? ' youtube.com/watch?v=MQ-gsD…
When we started Blockworks we could barely get someone from a bank to attend an event. Now we have a sitting US President addressing a 2,500 institutional participants. It is incredible how far this industry has come.
BREAKING: President Trump will address DAS tomorrow This is the first time a sitting President has addressed a crypto conference.
When all headlines are about this or that fund being tokenized, influential platforms like Figure bringing the focus on boring stuff like data operations is a welcome trend. This is critical to trust and transparency in tokenization. #IntainADMIN linkedin.com/posts/siddhu75…
Where the digital infra is mature in TradFi, the incremental value of tokenization is lesser; where TradFi systems are broken, tokenization is tougher. Structured Finance falls in the latter category - hence we are building our own digital infra with IntainADMIN and IntainAI
With three new deals in March, we crossed $20B of ABS/MBS onboarded on IntainADMIN. IntainADMIN is not a marketplace but by bringing the credibility of modeling & servicing rigour of traditional deals to IntainMARKETS, it is critical to building trust in tokenized structured fin
And I gained personally having utilised time on a 5.5 hour flight back in row 30 watching @karpathy 's 3hr intro to LLMs for general audience youtube.com/watch?v=7xTGNN… His next 'how I use LLMs' for my flight to India next week..that would be 2/15 hours of the flight!
Thanks to everyone who dropped by our booth at #SFVegas , attended our demo or took time to meet one of us for a 1-1 meeting.
