Ethereum Enterprise: EEA Monthly Signal [November]

From government modernization in LATAM, to institutional privacy in consumer payments, to enterprise-grade forums with the Ethereum Foundation, the past month showed that Ethereum’s role as public infrastructure is solidifying across finance, identity, privacy, and digital infrastructure sectors.

Here’s everything we shaped, hosted, and contributed to across the ecosystem.

New Members Spotlight: Polygon & Ethena

We’re incredibly thrilled to welcome Polygon and Ethena as the newest voices in the tight-knit EEA member community.

Their work strengthens Ethereum’s enterprise foundations across L2 scalability, rollup architectures, RWAs, and synthetic dollar infrastructure.

Alongside this, the EEA is preparing treasury deployments across Lido, Ethena, and looking for a third DeFi protocol, signaling our commitment to using the same open infrastructure we advocate for.

We’re Aggressively Building with Your Support

This year has shown just how strong and committed the enterprise Ethereum community truly is. Across continents and high-signal events, we’ve gathered regulators, banks, builders, and innovators who all share the same belief that open standards, shared language, and public infrastructure are the future.

We’re grateful for every member who has backed the mission, joined our programs, contributed to conversations, or helped bridge connections across the ecosystem. Thank you for believing in this work and pushing the enterprise Ethereum movement forward with us. Celebrating new members, new collaborations, and real progress, we’re looking ahead to 2026 with even more momentum.

A Conversation with STRATO Mercata

EEA Perspectives Across Global Forums

STRATO Mercata hosted Redwan for a wide-ranging conversation on institutional Ethereum adoption, regulatory clarity, and what “enterprise readiness” looks like in 2026.

Highlights and the video recap → Here.

SmartCon (Chainlink) Panel [New York City]

EEA Perspectives Across Global Forums

At SmartCon, Redwan joined speakers from ERC3643 Association, LF Decentralized Trust, Chainlink Labs, OpenZeppelin, and the Linux Foundation for a panel on standards and institutional usability. His observation that Ethereum remains “very engineering-focused” sparked a broader discussion on why enterprises need clearer models and shared language as L2 coordination accelerates.

🍎 Enterprise Ethereum Briefing: Fusaka Upgrade [New York City] 

Hosted with the Ethereum Foundation & Protocol Guild

With Trenton Van Epps and Redwan, the session highlighted how Fusaka improves L2 performance, data throughput, UX, and governance, giving enterprises a clearer view of what the upgrade unlocks.

🇸🇬 Ethereum Spotlight: Insights Forum [Singapore]

Hosted with the Ethereum Foundation at Singapore Fintech Festival

An invitation-only gathering in Singapore brought senior leaders together to map out how Ethereum can responsibly power the next generation of finance, identity, privacy, and digital public infrastructure.

Sessions included:

• Governance & Policy with Tju Liang Chua (General Counsel, Ethereum Foundation)

• Institutional Privacy & Security with Paul Brody (Global Blockchain Leader at EY and Chairman at The EEA)

• Ethereum as the Coordination Layer with Mo Jalil (APAC Enterprise Lead at EF)

• Breakout sessions on Stablecoins, Policy, Adoption, Talent

With Aya Miyaguchi (President at Ethereum Foundation) opening, Redwan Meslem delivered the closing session on Synthesis and The Future of Talent, outlining how open networks, incentives, and global collaboration are reshaping the enterprise skills landscape.

🇦🇷 EEA × EY @ Devconnect [Buenos Aires]

A marvelous turnout and a super packed room for one of the most enterprise-focused sessions at Devconnect. Together with EY, we explored real use cases, infrastructure readiness, and the move from pilots to production.

Panel 1 brought together regional industry leaders: Santiago J. Mora (Legal Advisor, Cámara Argentina Fintech), Roberto E. Silva (President, CNV), Pablo Moauro (Chief Economist ADEBA), and Ariel H. Sanchez (Product Director, Banco Galicia) to discuss how LATAM’s regulatory and financial landscape is shifting toward public-infrastructure models for real modernization.

Panel 2 featured Marek Olszewski (Co-Founder, Celo), Liz Bazurto (Business Director, MetaMask (Linea)), Tomás Bresler (COO, BoulderTech), and Eduardo Novillo (CEO & Co-Founder, Justoken), highlighting production deployments across tokenized assets, payments, and inclusion - making clear that LATAM is making transformational waves in the space.

Gov3 Summit [Buenos Aires]

EEA Perspectives Across Global Forums

At Gov3 Summit, we joined public institutions, universities, and central banks to discuss trustworthy, interoperable digital identity across the region.

Redwan added the EEA perspective on why governments are evaluating Ethereum as core digital infrastructure from identity systems to public-service delivery.

DeFiConnect: Privacy & Compliance Summit [Buenos Aires]

EEA Perspectives Across Global Forums

At DeFiConnect’s Privacy & Compliance Summit, Redwan joined Manú Hersch Garcia (Lemon Cash), Antonio Seveso (Fluidkey), Alexander Wilke (Bermuda), and Haichen Shen (Scroll) for a focused discussion on achieving cash-like privacy in consumer crypto payments.

The conversation centered on how privacy can feel natural for users while remaining trustworthy for regulators, and how Ethereum’s zk and attestation layers are converging to make this possible in real-world payment systems.

🗽 EEA Digital Asset Treasuries (DAT) Day [New York City] 

DAT Day in New York brought together some of the most active operators in the DAT ecosystem. Joseph Chalom (CEO, SBET) and Vivek Raman (Co-founder & CEO, Etherealize) opened with a candid discussion on what it means to run a public company on-chain, touching on transparency, governance, and day-to-day execution.

This was followed by Aaron D’Souza (Managing Director, Elevate IR), Michael Ciklin (COO & GC, The Ethermachine), Matthew Brannon (VP Public Relations, Scrib3), and Nico Pasquariello (Digital Assets, Cantor), who shared the practical realities of launching a DAT – legal setup, board structures, outsourced functions, and public-company communications.

The second panel featured Josh Lim (Head of Markets, FalconX), Matthew Sheffield (CIO, SBET), Chris Matta (CEO, Liquid Collective), and Matt Wahl (Head of Business Development, Validation Cloud) who explored treasury strategy: ATMs, convertibles, buybacks, on-chain yields, and managing liquidity with real-time transparency. Sam Gaer (CIO, Monarq), was missed!

A landmark conversation hosted by Vanessa Grellet for enterprises exploring on-chain treasury operations!

🇦🇪 Upcoming: EEA Lens @ Abu Dhabi Finance Week 

Two closed-door, invite-only roundtables with global regulators, banks, and digital-asset leaders.

Redwan will be joining two closed-door roundtables at Abu Dhabi FinTech Week. The first session, Digital Infrastructure 2030: Convergence of AI, Web3 & RWAs, brings together leaders exploring how AI, autonomous systems, and blockchain intersect. The discussion will cover AI as a user and builder, the rise of the agentic economy, and blockchain’s role as the trust and settlement layer for autonomous systems -- alongside the policy safeguards and accountability frameworks needed for this shift.

He will also be joining Institutional Bridges — Adoption & Regulation, a session focused on the practical bottlenecks to institutional adoption. Topics include stablecoins as global liquidity instruments, how tokenized deposits compare with crypto-native rails, hybrid settlement models, and the regulatory clarity required to support institutional-grade infrastructure.

These roundtables will shape global regulatory and enterprise alignment heading into 2026.

Looking ahead, we’re developing a new slate of bridge-building events, member programs, and collaborative projects to further strengthen enterprise adoption across the ecosystem. Once again, a reminder that if you’re exploring a partnership or want to co-host a member event, we’re here to assist and would love to hear from you.
