  • Build and maintain pitch decks, one-pagers, case studies, and internal briefings to support execution.

  • Manage deliverables across cross-functional teams - legal, engineering, marketing, finance - to ensure end-to-end success.

  • Maintain and improve internal BD tools: CRMs, dashboards, KPIs, and performance trackers.

  • Own operational clarity across all active initiatives in the region.

What You'll Need

  • 6+ years of experience in financial services, fintech, or blockchain - especially with payments, stablecoins, or institutional crypto.

  • Strong network across Colombia's financial and fintech ecosystem.

  • Familiarity with DeFi, remittances, or crypto-native infrastructure.

Nasdaq Launches Eqlipse Digital: Trusted Infrastructure Extended for Tokenized Markets

Nasdaq has launched Eqlipse Digital, an institutional-grade platform designed to bridge traditional financial market infrastructure with tokenized asset ecosystems. The platform enables market operators to manage tokenized issuance, lifecycle servicing, and settlement while maintaining established institutional governance and control standards. By integrating with existing clearing and central securities depository (CSD) systems, Eqlipse Digital aims to prevent the fragmentation of financial markets as they transition toward digital rails. The solution supports both digital representations of existing assets and native digital issuance, providing a phased adoption path for regulated entities. Nasdaq has prioritized interoperability, ensuring connectivity across diverse networks including the Canton ledger and Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible chains like Polygon. This development marks a strategic shift in the RWA market from experimental asset tokenization toward the professionalization of underlying market infrastructure. By providing a unified stack for both mainstream and digital workflows, Nasdaq is positioning itself to facilitate the institutional scaling of tokenized capital markets.

Tokenized Pokemon Cards Beat Bitcoin in 2026 — Here's Why

The market for on-chain collectibles has evolved into a sophisticated ecosystem where physical assets, such as professionally graded Pokémon cards, are secured in insured vaults and represented by NFTs. This model addresses historical skepticism toward digital-only assets by providing a tangible floor value, with platforms like Collector Crypt, Phygitals, and Beezie facilitating the process. Institutional distribution is driving growth, as evidenced by platforms integrating traditional payment methods like credit cards to lower entry barriers for non-crypto native users. Market data shows significant momentum, with gacha-style pack openings generating $290.3 million in July 2026, a substantial increase from $11.7 million in January 2025. The sector is increasingly stratified, offering diverse products ranging from retail-friendly randomized packs to professional-grade investment funds and card-backed lending protocols. While secondary market trading remains relatively low, the high volume of instant buybacks and pack openings indicates that the gamified experience is the primary driver of current adoption. This shift demonstrates how tokenization can transform a single physical asset into a multi-layered product line, effectively bridging the gap between traditional hobbyist collecting and decentralized finance.

Apex Group CEO makes the case for tokenization as the key to unlocking private credit

Apex Group, a global fund administrator overseeing $3.5 trillion in assets, is aggressively expanding its tokenization infrastructure to democratize access to private-market deals for family offices and wealth managers. CEO Peter Hughes emphasizes that blockchain technology is the key to solving long-standing distribution inefficiencies in private credit and equity markets. The firm’s strategy includes the May 2025 acquisition of a majority stake in Tokeny, granting control over the Polygon-based T-REX Ledger for compliance-focused issuance. Following the July 2025 launch of its Apex Digital 3.0 platform, the company is managing the full lifecycle of tokenized assets including issuance, custody, and distribution. Apex has set a concrete target to reach $100 billion in tokenized assets under administration by June 2027. Furthermore, the firm is preparing for a strategic partnership with the London Stock Exchange Group scheduled for February 2026 to scale private fund tokenization. These efforts are supported by data from a May 2026 survey, which revealed that 50% of asset managers have already adopted tokenization strategies, with private credit being a primary focus. By leveraging its 36 regulatory licenses, Apex is transitioning from pilot programs to live institutional products, such as tokenized real estate on Goldman Sachs’ GS DAP platform.
