Hedera representatives attended the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland in January 2026 to discuss digital assets, tokenization, AI, and payment infrastructure. The meeting followed the theme “A Spirit of Dialogue” and focused on rebuilding trust in institutions, markets, and technology, according to an official Hedera post. Delegates included policymakers, enterprise leaders, and technology innovators.
Tokenization emerged as a central topic, with participants noting it is moving beyond stablecoins into multiple asset classes to enable faster, more secure transfers and fractionalized investment access. Panelists described tokenized assets as a path to more efficient markets and continuous trading.
Speakers also explored how distributed ledger technology can support AI by providing data provenance, transparent model training records, and automated rule enforcement. This convergence was framed as a means to increase accountability and integrity in AI systems.
Mance Harmon, Eric Piscini (Hashgraph CEO), and other Hedera leaders joined media and industry events. Mr. Harmon appeared on CNBC to outline Hedera’s governance model and technology advantages, while Mr. Piscini spoke at a Nasdaq and Institute of International Finance event about digital assets, AI, and market infrastructure.
Policy sessions stressed urgency for U.S. regulatory clarity and global coordination. At the USA House, panels covered market structure, investor protection, and stablecoins’ role in payments, and Nilmini Rubin was recognized at the GBBC Appreciation Awards for her policy leadership. The convenings aimed to shape dialogue through 2026 and into Davos 2027; a full recap is available online.
