Closing the year with something I’m genuinely excited about.

The RWA Desk, in partnership with S&P Global Ratings, is hosting a private fireside chat + reception focused on the institutional shift underway in digital assets and on-chain capital markets.

We’ll be joined by Michal Selbka from S&P Global Ratings, who worked on the credit assessments for Strategy and Sky Protocol. He’ll unpack how S&P thinks about risk in this space and what that means as institutions go deeper into RWAs.

After the chat, we’re opening the floor for high-signal conversations among allocators, issuers, infra teams, and founders.

Capacity is limited - approvals going out on a rolling basis.

Dec 9th at 6:30pm to 9:30pm EST

Appreciate RWA.io for supporting the reception and covering the first round.

Looking forward to gathering the people building the next chapter of on-chain markets.

Last night exemplified the best of what The RWA Desk community is about - S&P Global Ratings, finance leaders, and blockchain natives in the same room, driving high-signal insight and education.

We were privileged to have Michal Selbka of S&P Global Ratings share an analytical view of how S&P approaches emerging digital assets, including his work rating issuers like MicroStrategy and Sky Protocol, how the frameworks are evolving, and what developments could support greater institutional trust.

Special thanks to Jake Vukelic and the S&P team for helping us pull this event together and to Sharif Bouktila and RWA.io for covering the first round of drinks.
