Unveiling the Alba Bay project, located in the northeast of the Dominican Republic.

Yossi Abadi is an investor, entrepreneur and CEO at BHL. He's leading Alba Bay, a multi-billion dollar real estate initiative in the Dominican Republic.

A real city on-chain? In this interview I sit down with Yossi Abbadi, CEO of BHL, the company behind Alba Bay: a 40 million square meter, $5.5B wellness city development in Montecristi, Dominican Republic, and one of the biggest real estate tokenization tests ever attempted.Today BHL announced a tokenization sandbox with the Lava Foundation as infrastructure orchestrator, bringing tokenization platforms, payment providers, DeFi protocols, and blockchain networks together to test real world asset (RWA) tokenization on a real development, not in theory.We cover the tokenization of real estate at city scale, fractional property ownership, why El Salvador made Bitcoin legal tender, and what the tokenization of land means for who gets to own real assets.⏱ Timestamps00:00 Intro00:45 Who is Yossi Abbadi06:00 Doing business in Latin America08:32 El Salvador, Bukele and Bitcoin as legal tender12:32 Inside Alba Bay: the $5.5B wellness city16:15 The tokenization sandbox announcement19:45 The biggest challenges in real estate tokenization22:50 The future of real estate ownershipUseful links: Join the Tokenization Sandbox: https://sandbox.lava-foundation.xyz/Disclosure: Lava Foundation is a partner of my company.

Cosmos looked unstoppable.

Big vision. Big believers. Big momentum.

Then something changed.In this conversation, Ethan Buchman reflects on the rise of Cosmos, the coordination problems behind decentralized ecosystems, and the moments where the original vision started pulling in different directions.We discuss:

• Why Cosmos struggled to stay aligned
• The tradeoffs of building without a center
• Whether decentralization creates fragmentation by default
• The Bitcoin debate and why Ethan says “Bitcoin is not money”
• Cycles, clearing systems, and reformulating the global monetary order

Is Altcoin Season Ever Coming Back?In this episode I sit down with Anthony Day, CMO of VeChain, former Deloitte, IBM, Polkadot, and Midnight, for an unfiltered read on where altcoins actually stand heading into 2026, why the 2021 playbook is dead, and what institutions see (and ignore) when they look at the altcoin market.We cover the rebase thesis (what if altcoins were never supposed to be this high?), why institutional due diligence has made narrative-driven pumps obsolete, why most top-100 projects don't deserve their spot, and where Anthony thinks real value is actually being built right now.TOPICS DISCUSSED:

• Why a 2021-style altcoin season isn't coming back and what replaces it
• The market rebase thesis: was the whole industry just overpriced 10x?
• Why institutions are MORE skeptical than retail, not less
• Revenue meta (Hyperliquid, Canton) vs. the dead narrative meta
• Why most altcoins don't deserve a top-100 spot anymore
• "These are tech companies, not coins" the reframe every crypto investor needs
• What crypto gets wrong about how enterprises actually adopt new tech
• AI, agentic wallets, and why agents won't just use stablecoins
• Privacy as an institutional requirement (not just a cypherpunk ideology)
• How to build a following on LinkedIn in the institutional crypto era

In January 2026, #BlackRock CEO Larry Fink compared #tokenization to the internet in 1996 — when Amazon had sold $16M worth of books and nobody understood what was coming.In 1996, most investors watched the websites. Almost nobody looked at the infrastructure underneath. The ones who did made the investments people still talk about thirty years later.The same pattern is playing out right now. BlackRock's tokenized money market fund just crossed $1.9B. Franklin Templeton used their own tokenized fund for an acquisition. But while everyone is watching the assets, almost nobody is asking: what infrastructure are those assets actually settling on?This is the question I had to ask myself about my own portfolio. The answer changed how I'm thinking about my positioning — and that's what this episode is about.This is Episode 4 of #TRILLIONS — the final episode of Season 1.

$10T in real-world assets is beginning to move on-chain.

In the first episode of Trillions, we analyze the transition from retail speculation to institutional blockchain infrastructure.

As BlackRock signals that tokenization is inevitable and over $24B in assets are already live on-chain, the conversation is shifting toward custody, compliance, sovereign governance, and financial architecture.

From U.S. Treasuries and commodities to real estate and capital markets integration, this episode examines who captures the rails when trillions migrate to digital asset infrastructure.

Season 1 is presented by ZIGChain.
