American Blockchain Act of 2025 will see the U.S investing $59 million over the next 5 years. China, on the other hand, is investing $54 billion towards its National Blockchain Roadmap, placing DLT at the core of its National Data Strategy. Some of my key takeaways from London Blockchain Conference, where I delivered a keynote speech. nostr:nprofile1qqstag9yjw2yhnkzhadwr2en7pcr6a79de5pdx6ye4ewzehp547hj8qpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ex2mrfw3jhxtn0wfnszrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqn5hvch #Blockchain #NBR #Roadmap https://blossom.primal.net/7b41b5b3d1e0864eb4a8dff63fe10dc1e9b3caa0fbce9cfe4fb2ccd63018527c.mov

I was in Dubai recently where I met some government officials, C-suite execs, and several Web3 start-ups. It’s not by luck or by chance that some jurisdictions are excelling in blockchain. From evidence to impact, they are following 5 essential steps to build a world-class digital economy: #Blockchain #bitcoin #Web3 #Dubai #UK nostr:nprofile1qqstag9yjw2yhnkzhadwr2en7pcr6a79de5pdx6ye4ewzehp547hj8qpzamhxue69uhkummnw3ezuer0v3nk2tndv5h826cpzfmhxue69uhk7enxvd5xz6tw9ec82csclvkhd https://blossom.primal.net/14730c01ed7743ca0e68f8dc8f0478d9286112819d23877b4ac925c6d0bff196.mov

🌐 Stablecoins will be a game-changer for the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth represents around one-third of the world’s population – roughly 2.7 billion people. 🌏 From remittances and trade to cross-border payments and SME financing, the potential for stablecoin-driven transformation is enormous. 🚨 60% of Commonwealth citizens are under 30: A mobile-native, digital-first generation, that will not wait for legacy systems to catch up. In my recent contribution to the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council (CWEIC) Stablecoin Roundtable, I shared why: ✅ Stablecoins can dramatically reduce remittance costs across "Commonwealth corridors" ✅ Programmable money can improve transparency and compliance for governments and institutions ✅ Thoughtful, evidence-based regulation is essential to balance innovation and stability ✅ The Commonwealth can become a global testbed for scalable, inclusive digital finance 🎥 Watch the video for my key takeaways and proposals for a smarter, evidence-based stablecoin strategy across the Commonwealth. nostr:npub1h6s2fyu5f08v9066ux4n8urs84mu2mngz6d5fntju9nwrfta0ywqcc3jtk #Stablecoins #Commonwealth #Blockchain #DigitalAssets https://blossom.primal.net/1a115f32cf587f24a1d5641b61c9de7432d0b78066553fe388b4b40e9ddac860.mov

🔓 Opening your home door with the Blockchain. No physical keys. Just cryptographic proof. You prove ownership of your NFT - in this case, your unique ENS - e.g. “Sarah.eth” (ENS = Ethereum Name Service) ⛓️‍💥 You sign a transaction. ✅ The door unlocks. This isn’t sci-fi. This is what Web3 identity looks like in the real world. My advice to all: Please learn the basics of Blockchain today. Your future self will thank you.

Just attended a Web3 Careers Fair - IN the #Metaverse. From crafting standout Web3 CVs to acing virtual job interviews, I met an incredible community of innovators, creators, and future tech leaders, all building the next evolution of the internet. It wasn’t far from the BBA's Metaverse HQ at coordinates 5,19. 🧭 Decentraland is a fully decentralised immersive world built on the #Ethereum Blockchain, and is more than just a virtual playground. It’s where the future of work, education, and networking is unfolding, in real time. BBA was the world's first blockchain industry association to build its metaverse Headquarters in 2021. #Web3 #Metaverse #Blockchain #Decentraland #DigitalCareers #Ethereum #FutureOfWork #BBA #VirtualWorlds #EvidenceBasedBlockchain #bitcoin #nostr

Nearly 4 years on, and still one of the most insightful speeches in #crypto regulation. Commissioner Hester Peirce's speech at The British Blockchain Association's Conference remains a timeless masterclass on how regulators should approach innovation: ➡️ Evidence-led and Principles-first.

To build successful crypto-economies, we must make sure that systems not just talk to each other, but UNDERSTAND each other. SEMANTIC Inter-operability is the elephant 🐘 in the room no one is talking about. We can build superfast chains that can process 10,000 TPS, but if regulators cant trust it and business partners cant harmonise the data, it wont scale. In this video, I shared some examples of failed semantic inter-operability, and what we can learn from these case studies. nostr:nprofile1qqstag9yjw2yhnkzhadwr2en7pcr6a79de5pdx6ye4ewzehp547hj8qprpmhxue69uhhqunfweshgetfwdkxzmny9e3kcatzqyd8wumn8ghj7argv4nx7un9wd6zumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6m3zkgs https://www.linkedin.com/posts/naseemnaqvi_semanticinteroperability-blockchain-crypto-activity-7327360259117694976-I7Vv?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&rcm=ACoAABwOe5YBVQ9iKYCI4KUSzQvJgQ5YVtDy548 #Semantic #Interoperability #Blockchain #Crypto #Economy
