As digital assets become increasingly integrated into TradFi, risk management and insurance become ever more important! @HensonJO4 at the HSC Asset Management Conference @mpost_io in Seoul #SoterInsureAsiaTour2026๐

๐ @dfnsHQ now supports @circle's CCTP on @StellarOrg.
The world's largest cash-to-stablecoin network just got connected to institutional USDC liquidity everywhere from DFNS.
Native USDC moves between Stellar in one governed transfer. The USDC that arrives is the same Circle-issued asset on both sides.
No wrapped variant. No third-party bridge. No custodian in the middle.
Now the flows that took two platforms run in one:
โ๏ธ Collect USDC on Ethereum or Base, move it to Stellar, and pay out through their cash network.
โ๏ธ Hold one USDC balance sheet and settle wherever with no liquidity pre-positioned on every network.
โ๏ธ Deploy Stellar USDC on Solana or Ethereum when a counterparty requires it, bring it home for payouts
Use the same DFNS integration as any other CCTP route:
1๏ธโฃ select Circle CCTP in Swaps
2๏ธโฃ pick your wallets, review
3๏ธโฃ sign with a passkey or an API call
4๏ธโฃ Stellarโs address encoding and USDC precision are handled automatically.
Fiat in through Circle Mint. USDC across chains via CCTP. Cash out on Stellar.
That's what onchain core banking is for.

๐ Turn fiat payments into stablecoins cross 113+ countries.
Today, weโre launching ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ on DFNS, starting with @borderlessxyz.
Until now, bringing fiat into a stablecoin operation meant leaving the platform. Separate portals, manual wallet mapping, and reconciliation between bank statements and blockchain transactions.
That changes with Payins โ๏ธ
Now, you can:
1๏ธโฃ Select the wallet where your stablecoins should arrive.
2๏ธโฃ Enter the amount, country, and payment method.
3๏ธโฃ Review the quote and sign with a passkey.
4๏ธโฃ Send fiat to the bank details provided.
โ
Done! Any stablecoin in your wallet.
Through one API, we connect you to 19+ locally licensed payment providers, such as Cobre, Capa, Triple-A, Stripe, MoonPay, Walapay, and more, across 72+ currencies.
USD, EUR, GBP. MXN, BRL, COP, ARS. NGN, KES, ZAR. INR, PHP, AED.
No FX markups. A flat platform fee. Funds settle directly with the providers.
On DFNS, every payin has a status, an audit trail, and a destination governed by the same policy engine as the rest of your operations.
Thatโs what onchain core banking is for.

On September 24, @bitget lost $387.5 million. But no key was stolen.
The attacker took control of the server that told the signer what to sign, and the signer obeyed.
Our CISO, Thibault de Lachรจze-Murel, breaks down the Bitget hack:
๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ฉ๐ข๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ฅ, ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ช๐ค๐ฉ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ต๐ณ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ด ๐ง๐ข๐ช๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฅ, ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ค๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ๐ฆ, ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ณ๐ช๐ด๐ฌ๐ด ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ข๐ช๐ฏ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฏ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ญ.
Based on interim reports from @Mandiant and @SlowMist_Team, hereโs what happened:
โ A flaw in a third-party security product gave the attacker access 24 days before the theft.
โ A reused employee identity opened the way to the wallet server.
โ A withdrawal tool bypassed its own risk checks.
โ Bitgetโs wallets signed the transfers as legitimate withdrawals.
โ $203 million moved across five chains in nine seconds.
โ Signing continued for 2h39 after the alert. Bitget stopped customer withdrawals, not the attacker.
The problem wasnโt key storage. It was who the signer trusted. ๐ซ
The signer checked where the request came from, not whether it was authorized. It had no proof that a person approved the transfer or that the destination and amount matched the approved instruction.
You can reduce this risk by:
โ๏ธ Checking authority, not just origin.
โ๏ธ Separating policy decisions from systems an attacker could compromise.
โ๏ธ Requiring a client-controlled credential.
โ๏ธ Limiting the warm tier with allowlists, quorums and velocity limits.
โ๏ธ Practising how to stop signing independently of customer withdrawals.
But no vendor can eliminate every risk. Our analysis explains what providers can prevent, what clients must control, and what risks remain.

๐ฐ๐ท Koreaโs digital asset rules start with banks.
That means network segregation, data kept in Korea, and strict controls to protect usersโ assets.
Today, weโre partnering with FairSquare Lab to make that possible.
FairSquare Lab provides blockchain technology to the KDX consortium, co-founded Koreaโs first dedicated digital asset custodian, and helps lead initiatives for won stablecoins and cross-border FX settlement.
Its platform, Sphere, is built on @dfnsHQ. Together, weโre building wallet and custody infrastructure designed to run inside Korean financial institutionsโ own environments.
โ๏ธ On-premises deployment integrated with the bankโs HSMs.
โ๏ธ Offline signing for networks separated from the internet.
โ๏ธ Local data control, keeping wallet and transaction data in Korea.
โ๏ธ Bank-defined controls, with approval workflows, transaction limits and a full audit trail.
โ๏ธ A path to custody, as Koreaโs regulatory framework develops.
DFNS provides the core banking platform for digital assets. FairSquare Lab brings local integrations and deep knowledge of Korean banksโ security and compliance requirements.
As FairSquare Lab CEO Joonhong Kim puts it:
โ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ฌ๐ด ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฉ ๐จ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฃ๐ข๐ญ-๐จ๐ณ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฆ ๐ด๐ฆ๐ค๐ถ๐ณ๐ช๐ต๐บ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ช๐ฏ๐ง๐ณ๐ข๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐ถ๐ค๐ต๐ถ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ง๐ช๐ต๐ด ๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐จ๐ถ๐ญ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ.โ

๐ฅ Most access controls don't fail in a breach. They fail quietly through drift.
On most platforms, approval policies name specific people. So when someone joins or leaves a group, like the โtreasury team,โ an admin must manually update every policy that mentions them. Do that for a year and you end up with dozens of hand-maintained user lists that no one fully trusts.
Today we're introducing ๐จ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฝ๐, so that never has to happen again.
A User Group is a named team the platform understands.
โ๏ธ Assign permissions to the group and every member inherits them.
โ๏ธ Name the group as the approver and the quorum is drawn from that team.
โ๏ธ Someone joins? Add them to the group once.
โ๏ธ Someone leaves? Remove them once. Every policy and permission self-updates.
You can create a group with the same name as the one in your identity provider, and from there we follow your IdP (e.g. Okta, Microsoft) at every login. A match adds the user, an absence removes them, including for admin access.
Because a group is a way to grant power, it's also governed like one:
โ Adding someone to a privileged group grants the same rights as assigning them directly
โ Deleted group names stay reserved and canโt be recreated with different rights
โ A floor guard prevents removing the last administrator, directly or through group deletion
โ Every membership change is signed, audited, and traceable
The org chart and the platform now say the same thing, and your auditors can prove it.
That's what onchain core banking is for.

Crypto derivatives trading infrastructure is improving, but fragmented liquidity and collateral, along with the lack of true cross-margining, continue to create major capital inefficiencies for institutions๐

This post officially wraps up our #SoterInsureAsiaTour2026. We spent ten days across Seoul, Hong Kong, and Singapore, with five speaking engagements and plenty of interesting conversations along the way. I'm now in the UAE until October 14 to catch up with the team, and wanted to share my perspective on what we saw across the three markets:
1. One of the most interesting signals from Korea Blockchain Week came from an insurer. Kyobo Life, one of Korea's established life insurers, shared its perspective on moving from traditional to on-chain finance. Worth paying attention when a traditional insurer is working through that transition itself.
2. My own speaking engagements in Seoul focused on the risks behind that shift: stolen funds moving through stablecoin markets, and losses when things go wrong in DeFi. ๐๐จ๐ญ๐๐ซ'๐ฌ ๐๐๐-๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐-๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ ๐: matching insurance to the currency of the underlying exposure. We've started sharing video clips on that from my Seoul talks, beginning with Solana Summit.
I also really enjoyed joining Robbie Nakarmi of Further Ventures, one of our investors, at RealFi x Asia Stablecoin Conference. Great to bring a bit of the UAE to the Korean audience together!
3. Hong Kong. In April, the HKMA granted its first two stablecoin issuer licenses to HSBC and Anchorpoint, out of 36 applications received in its initial batch. Licensing provides the regulatory foundation, but institutions also need insurance capacity to protect against custody, crime, and other digital asset risks. ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ ๐๐ง ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ญ๐๐ซ, ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ข๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ณ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐ฐ๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ-๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ฉ๐จ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐จ๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ . It was especially good to see Lawrence Chong, who has just joined us to lead partnerships and distribution across APAC from HK.
4. And finally Singapore, where the number of established companies and new entrants continues to impress. MAS made a timely point this week: scaling tokenized finance beyond pilots requires common standards, interoperability, and sound risk management. That is where commercial adoption gets real.
Our work at Soter is concrete: underwrite digital asset risks on their own terms, expand the capital available to cover them, and structure policies in BTC or ETH when those are the assets at risk.
Institutions need to know what is covered, what isn't, and who takes the loss when something goes wrong.
Thanks very much to the organizers, partners, and everyone who made the trip worthwhile. Looking forward to building on these conversations.
@soter_insure . Ensuring Trust.
