This episode of Onchain, Honestly! is a little different. We look back at summer 2026 and the developments that made institutional adoption more tangible.
We explore the growing importance of viable operating models, the evolving US regulatory framework, and tokenization’s move from issuing assets to building the markets around them.
From Tether’s first full financial statement audit and the unresolved CLARITY Act to banks entering stablecoins and new infrastructure for tokenized securities and liquidity, the market is entering a more practical phase.
The question is no longer simply whether assets can move onchain, but whether they can trade, settle and be used there at scale.

What is Onchain, Honestly!?
Onchain, Honestly is a conversation with the operators actually building crypto companies.
Kaisa and Alenka sit down with founders and leaders to talk about what the pitch decks leave out: go-to-market, hiring, revenue, real traction, and the unglamorous mechanics of turning a protocol or product into a business.
No hype, no theater. Just honest conversations about what works, what doesn't, and what it actually takes to build onchain.
