Did you miss us? Lots of headlines, let us sift through the noise for you.
The momentum behind programmable infrastructure continues to accelerate, with enterprises, governments, and institutions racing to upgrade the global digital economy.
Here is what moved the global economy closer to programmable GDP over the last few weeks.
Banks and brokerages ramp up digital asset hiring
The labor market reveals conviction. Top financial firms are actively posting senior roles to connect traditional finance with decentralized infrastructure. We are seeing major brokerages like Schwab and Fidelity alongside heavyweight banks like Citi and JPMorgan search for directors of digital asset ops. They specifically want expertise in custody, tokenized deposits, and stablecoin mechanics. Wall Street is visibly staffing up to build programmable market rails, and not being quiet about it.
DTCC prepares to move $150 Trillion onchain
At Consensus 2026, the DTCC announced a soft launch for migrating roughly $150 trillion in US equities and post-trade inventory onto shared digital infrastructure this July. The organization is bringing full post-trade ops into live prod environments. Trillions, literally.
Goldman Sachs launches tokenized real estate fund
Partnering with Apex Group and Archax, Goldman Sachs deployed a tokenized real estate fund on its proprietary blockchain platform just this week. By digitizing real world property assets, the firm provides institutional clients with enhanced collateral mobility and modernized portfolio integration.
The CLARITY Act hits the Senate calendar
We finally have some major movement on the legislative front. The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act successfully cleared the Senate Banking Committee in a 15 to 9 bipartisan vote. As of June 2, the bill was officially placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar. This means it has a tight four week window to advance before Congress takes their July recess. Big banks are still loudly fighting the provisions around stablecoin rewards, but regulatory certainty is closer than ever. The legal framework for programmable economics continues to crystallize right before our eyes.
The convergence of progressive regulation, dedicated talent acquisition, and live institutional deployment confirms that programmability is the new north star for modern finance. It is a wildly exciting time to be building.
Join us next week.

The OpenGDP Plane: Economics and Impact.
If you’ve been in SF over the last 10 days, you’ve likely not seen the OpenGDP Plane flying around. I’m receiving countless messages asking how cheap it is and if it’s working.

🏛️ “Project Agorá”
(Greek for marketplace) as titled by the Bank of International Settlements aims to explore how tokenization and programmability can enhance wholesale cross-border payments. This collaboration includes seven central banks, and over 40 regulated financial institutions.
“The prototype enables atomic, multi-currency settlement of wholesale cross-border payments, which could occur on a (24/7) basis if implemented.”
Like many OpenGDP customers, the platform enables financial institutions to embed workflow logic, compliance reqs, and payment conditions into transactions directly.
These solutions from OpenGDP and others enable always-on cross border payments for those individuals and institutions that need it.
We look forward to the continued success of this ambitious pilot.

The Bank for International Settlements and a cohort of partners will soon start testing a new prototype for digital cross-border payments with real-value transactions. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
“Digital Asset Strategy” from Citi Investor Day 26’ ⤵️
- Citi has been slow rolling into digital assets for several years
- Expansion of business lines: tokenized funds, onchain services like custody,
deposits, and stablecoins
- Complements existing revenue streams with opportunity for worldwide growth
Similar programs are penetrating the financial ecosystem from top to bottom.
OpenGDPs tokenization infrastructure includes:
- on/off ramps w/ inline conversion
- compliance & monitoring
- lending, borrowing, and trading
along with dedicated blockspace and an intelligence layer built for mission-critical objectives.
We are actively assisting financial organizations with their digital asset strategies - partnering on customer acquisition, revenue expansion, and global growth models.

US Leadership in the digital asset realm is quietly maintaining high priority amidst a plethora of louder issues.
Expect consistent progress with some lobbying still taking place behind the scenes - banks v brokerages v crypto.
All are itching for guidance / standards.
Fidelity commends the Senate Banking Committee for advancing the CLARITY Act. The bill provides a balanced approach and, if passed, will offer statutory clarity to digital asset markets, benefiting American investors and helping ensure the U.S. remains a global leader in digital
🎯 “Enterprise Readiness” is not a familiar phrase in crypto circles, but critical to any scaled tech deployment.
Governance, risk, and compliance are top of mind for any initiative, let alone major technology decisions.
Cloud, data, security, SaaS, all grew to meet this mature model. Tokenization, stablecoin, and onchain infrastructure solutions must do the same.
OpenGDP is building with these first principles top of mind. Plug and play audit, compliance, and risk tooling purpose-built for enterprise customers - in response to questions just like these from our design partners.
What CFOs actually ask in stablecoin pilots:
1/ Who custodies the asset and what happens if the issuer goes down?
2/ How does this show up in my accounting system alongside ACH and wire?
3/ Can my AP team send one without learning what a wallet is?
4/ When auditors ask where the
