DUBAI, UAE — FINNOVEX Middle East will return to Dubai on 10–11 November 2026 for Chapter 39, bringing senior financial-services leaders together for the closing chapter of the 2026 FINNOVEX Global Series and a forward-looking conversation on the connected financial ecosystem institutions are building for 2027.

Held under the theme “Finance in Motion,” Chapter 39 is designed around a simple reality: financial transformation no longer happens inside a single institution, technology stack or market. Customers move across platforms. Money moves in real time. Intelligence is entering everyday decisions. Regulation is moving closer to the technologies and operating models it governs.

The programme will examine what must move next across customer experience, intelligent infrastructure, payments, data and identity, artificial intelligence, resilience, inclusion and regulation — not as isolated subjects, but as connected decisions that influence trust, growth and execution across the financial system.

Day One will focus on executive direction, operating cases, leadership dialogue and recognition, giving participating leaders a shared view of the decisions shaping the region’s financial-services agenda. The programme is intended to move beyond broad transformation language by asking what institutions should connect, govern, scale — or retire — as they set priorities for the year ahead.

Day Two will move into invitation-led executive dialogues and private decision rooms, creating a more focused environment for senior leaders to examine implementation questions, compare operating experience and identify relevant next actions. The format is designed to support substantive peer exchange rather than conventional conference repetition.

The Chapter 39 experience will also extend Beyond the Ballroom through FINNOVEX After Five, creating an informal setting for relationships and conversations to continue after the formal programme. Together, the two-day format connects the public leadership agenda with the quieter executive discussions that often move decisions forward.

Dubai provides a fitting setting for the 2026 finale. As a market where capital, policy, technology, trade and ambition converge at unusual speed, the city reflects the central premise of Finance in Motion: progress increasingly depends on how effectively institutions connect across systems, responsibilities and markets.

Chapter 39 also marks a transition point for FINNOVEX as the platform moves from its 2026 regional journey into its 2027 agenda. The emphasis remains consistent: bringing the right financial leaders, institutions and relevant partners into focused conversations that can translate strategic priorities into clearer operating choices and stronger executive relationships.

FINNOVEX is an Exibex portfolio, organised by Exibex. The FINNOVEX Global Series convenes financial institutions, policy perspectives, technology partners and senior executives through regional chapters and focused leadership formats designed around the practical questions shaping financial services.

October 2026 — Global Conservation Capital, Inc. (GCC) has announced the upcoming presale of Sloth Coin (SLOC), scheduled to launch on November 15, 2026. The security token initiative is designed to connect private investment with rainforest conservation, introducing a financial model that links potential investor distributions to revenue generated through verified environmental credits.

With an initial presale price of $0.03 per token, SLOC represents GCC’s effort to establish an investment structure in which capital can support environmental conservation projects while providing investors with potential participation in the economic value those projects may generate.

The initiative is built around a central objective: developing a long-term financing model that makes rainforest conservation economically sustainable without relying exclusively on donations or traditional environmental funding.

Turning Rainforest Conservation Into a Long-Term Economic Model

Rainforests are among the planet’s most valuable natural ecosystems, supporting biodiversity, regulating climate patterns, and storing significant amounts of carbon. Yet protecting these environments requires continuous financial resources, particularly in regions where land preservation competes with alternative forms of commercial development.

For decades, conservation organizations have relied heavily on donations, grants, and public funding to protect vulnerable ecosystems. Although these funding sources remain essential, they do not always provide the predictable, long-term capital necessary to maintain and expand conservation efforts.

Global Conservation Capital is developing an alternative approach.

Through Sloth Coin, GCC aims to connect conservation activities with financial markets by developing projects capable of generating eligible environmental credits. These credits could create a potential revenue stream tied to independently verified environmental outcomes.

The proposed model is designed to direct capital toward conservation activities while establishing a framework through which successful environmental-credit sales may contribute to investor distributions and future project expansion.

By connecting capital allocation with independently verified environmental results, GCC seeks to explore a model in which long-term conservation efforts can attract investment alongside traditional sources of funding.

How Sloth Coin Connects Environmental Impact With Investor Revenue

Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies primarily designed for payments, trading, or decentralized platform access, SLOC is structured as a security token with proposed economic rights connected to environmental-credit revenue.

The model begins with the identification and development of conservation projects on eligible rainforest land.

Once operational, these projects would undergo environmental measurement and independent verification processes to determine whether qualifying environmental credits can be issued under applicable standards.

Following successful verification and issuance, eligible credits could be sold to buyers in environmental-credit markets.

Net revenue generated from completed credit sales would then form the basis for the project’s proposed revenue allocation model.

Under the contemplated structure:

• Up to 20% of net verified environmental-credit sale revenue may be allocated toward distributions to eligible SLOC investors.
• Up to 80% of net verified environmental-credit sale revenue may be allocated toward additional land opportunities, conservation activities, and future project expansion.

This structure is intended to connect the project’s financial development with the continued growth of its conservation portfolio.

The proposed allocations are subject to the final offering documents. SLOC does not provide investors with direct ownership of rainforest land, and potential distributions depend on the successful development, verification, issuance, and sale of eligible environmental credits.

Neither environmental-credit revenue nor investor returns are guaranteed. This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Words such as “may,” “could,” “aims,” “seeks,” “planned,” “intended,” “potential,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those projected. GCC undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements.

Global Conservation Capital Advances Project Development

As preparations continue for the November presale, GCC has already developed investor onboarding and token-management infrastructure intended to support the SLOC offering.

These systems form part of the project’s operational foundation, providing infrastructure for investor participation and security token administration.

Alongside its technical development, GCC is evaluating potential rainforest conservation opportunities in Peru, a country home to extensive portions of the Amazon rainforest and ecosystems of significant ecological importance.

Two potential rainforest parcels are currently undergoing due diligence as the company assesses opportunities for future conservation development.

The properties remain prospective opportunities and have not been acquired. Their inclusion in any future GCC conservation portfolio will depend on satisfactory due diligence, commercial feasibility, and applicable legal and environmental requirements.

This project-development process reflects GCC’s intention to build its conservation portfolio around identifiable land opportunities and environmental projects capable of meeting independent verification requirements.

SLOC Presale Launch Set for November 15, 2026

Global Conservation Capital is targeting November 15, 2026, for the official launch of the SLOC presale, marking a key milestone in the development of its investment-backed conservation initiative.

The initial presale round is planned at $0.03 per SLOC token.

The presale is structured around a security token offering rather than a conventional public cryptocurrency launch.

For U.S. investors, the intended offering framework relies on an exemption from registration under Regulation D, Rule 506(c) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with participation limited to investors who satisfy the applicable accredited-investor verification requirements. The securities offered have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold absent registration or an applicable exemption.

Non-U.S. participation will be governed by relevant securities regulations, jurisdictional restrictions, and the conditions established in the final offering documents.

GCC is finalizing the offering documentation ahead of the planned launch. Final participation requirements, investor rights, restrictions, and economic terms will be set out in those documents.

Interested participants can access official project information and presale updates through the Sloth Coin website. Participation in the SLOC offering is limited to accredited investors as defined under applicable securities regulations.

Building a Scalable Future for Rainforest Protection

Beyond its initial token offering, GCC’s broader vision is to establish a conservation financing framework capable of supporting the development and expansion of rainforest protection projects.

The proposed model is designed around a cycle of investment, conservation development, independent environmental verification, environmental-credit sales, and reinvestment.

If successfully implemented, this approach could provide additional financing for conservation activities while creating a potential economic incentive for eligible investors to participate in environmental protection.

A central component of the proposed model is the contemplated allocation of up to 80% of net verified environmental-credit sale revenue toward supporting further land and project expansion, subject to the terms of the final offering documents.

This reinvestment approach is intended to help GCC pursue additional conservation opportunities as projects develop and eligible credit sales generate revenue.

Future expansion will depend on available financing, successful project execution, land acquisition opportunities, independent verification, and market demand for eligible environmental credits.

With the November 15 presale approaching, Global Conservation Capital is preparing to introduce Sloth Coin as a security token initiative focused on connecting private capital with rainforest conservation and the potential financial value of independently verified environmental outcomes.

About Sloth Coin (SLOC)

Sloth Coin (SLOC) is a blockchain-based security token to be issued by Global Conservation Capital, Inc., designed to connect eligible investor capital with rainforest conservation and potential revenue generated through verified environmental credits.

Through its proposed financial structure, SLOC seeks to support long-term conservation activities while establishing a framework for potential investor distributions and continued expansion of environmental projects.

Global Conservation Capital’s broader mission is to develop investment-backed conservation initiatives that combine environmental responsibility with commercially sustainable financing models. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. Any offer of SLOC tokens will be made only by means of the final offering documents prepared by Global Conservation Capital, Inc. Offers and sales of securities will be made only to accredited investors in compliance with Regulation D, Rule 506(c) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Participation in the offering will be subject to verification of accredited-investor status and the terms and conditions set forth in the offering documents.

MUSCAT, OMAN — FINNOVEX will convene an invitation-only Executive Leadership Lunch at The Chedi Muscat on 21 October  2026, bringing together senior banking and financial-services leaders for a focused conversation on the priorities that should shape 2027. 

Built around the signature dialogue “One Leader. One Goal. One 2027 Agenda.”, the lunch is designed as a concentrated  leadership exchange rather than a conventional conference. The format places executive perspectives, practical priorities and  meaningful peer interaction at the centre of the room. 

The leadership gathering is intended for senior banking decision-makers and policy stakeholders from Oman’s financial ecosystem. The discussion will focus on the decisions institutions need to make now across digital transformation, customer experience,  payments, resilience, data, artificial intelligence and responsible growth.

Each participating leadership voice will be invited to contribute one clear priority for the year ahead, helping create a concise  collective picture of the issues that matter most to Oman’s banking sector as institutions prepare for 2027. 

“The strength of this leadership lunch is not in scale, but in relevance. We are bringing together a carefully  selected group of senior banking leaders so every conversation has purpose, context and a clear reason to  continue beyond the room,” said Habeeb Anwar, Head of Delegates, FINNOVEX Global Series. Drafted quote – obtain Habeeb Anwar’s sign-off before external publication. 

The programme will combine leadership perspectives, a focused agenda exchange and a hosted networking lunch in a private  setting designed to encourage candid and useful conversation among senior peers.

Valdora, a vault and liquid staking protocol which came out of the ZIG Finance ecosystem, launched its very own ‘Points Program,’ rewarding people for taking part in various ecosystem activities. A public leaderboard lets users see their points and where they stand. 

In terms of how the points are accrued, there are three activities that count toward a user’s total:

• Depositing into eligible Valdora vaults
• Staking ZIG
• Referring others who participate

In all of this the logic is simple, the higher the participation over time, the more points one can collect. 

Early Supporters Aren’t Starting From Zero.

Arguably, the most interesting detail of the entire program is its emphasis on past activity, such that anyone who deposited into a vault or staked ZIG before the program went live will find that they have already been credited with a certain amount of points.  

That’s a fair nod to the people who showed up before there was any scoreboard at all, and there are quite a few of them (given Valdora’s total value locked currently sits at roughly $79 million, about double the $37 million or so recorded at the end of June).  

Staking remains the entry point for a lot of those users as ZIG staked on Valdora returns stZIG, a liquid token that keeps accruing validator rewards while remaining usable elsewhere. The platform’s USDC vaults, meanwhile, cover strategies ranging from private credit and commodities to equities and opportunistic credit, each with its own yield source, risk profile and liquidity terms.

Wait, There Is Enough Room for Newcomers Too!

The program is open to first-time users as well, who can start earning points now, working their way up by continuing to take part in the ecosystem. The rationale behind this is that people are already using Valdora (to deposit into vaults and stake ZIG), so the points offer a simple way to recognize that activity while showing how the community is getting involved.

A Step on the Road to TGE

Last but not least, it bears mentioning that the Points Program will also form part of the community’s journey toward Valdora’s token generation event (TGE). Exactly how points will factor into that process is yet to be detailed, so that is something interested participants need to keep an eye out for. That being said, for a protocol whose TVL has grown significantly in a single summer, a leaderboard looks like a sensible way to show who its most committed users really are. Interesting few weeks ahead for Valdora and its backers!

Dubai, UAE — 30 September 2026: The next phase of banking transformation will depend on how well its parts work together. Digital channels, payments, data, risk and core systems all contribute to the same customer experience. For financial institutions, connecting them effectively is a question of business performance, operational resilience and growth. 

That challenge provides the backdrop to FINNOVEX Middle East 2026 — Chapter 39, taking place in Dubai on 10–11 November 2026. Organised by Exibex under the theme “Finance in Motion,” the banking and fintech summit will bring senior financial services executives and technology businesses together to examine the decisions shaping their institutions—and the connected financial system they are preparing for in 2027. 

The chapter is supported by Alfa Bank as Diamond Sponsor and Sardine as Gold Sponsor, alongside Sends and BPC as Silver Sponsors, Posidex as Bronze Sponsor, and Watermelon Communications as Official PR Partner. 

Its two-day format combines a conference and the FINNOVEX Awards on 10 November with executive roundtables on 11 November, giving participants space to move from the wider industry discussion into more focused exchanges. 

The leadership behind banking transformation 

Chapter 39’s speaker line-up brings together the executives responsible for translating strategy into the way banks operate, serve customers and generate growth. 

Featured speakers include Linoy Kidd, CIO, GBM MENAT at HSBC; Yan Bechet, Chief Operating Officer at HSBC UAE; Daniele Coda, Chief Commercial Officer at RAKBANK; and Vladislavs Mironovs, Chief Digital Officer at Commercial Bank of Dubai. 

They are joined by Abdulla Al Taee, Chief Operating Officer at United Arab Bank; Abdullah Al-Awadi, Chief Strategy Officer at Kuwait International Bank; and Alberto Diez, Chief Operating Officer at Emirates Development Bank. 

Further additions include Khawer Khaliq, Chief Operating Officer at Vision Bank Limited; Asim Shrivastava, Chief Credit Officer at Bank of Sharjah; and Mirel Băilă, Acting Chief Operating Officer at Al Masraf. 

The range of responsibilities represented is significant. A digital banking proposition needs an operating model capable of delivering it. A faster customer journey must retain effective controls. A technology investment needs a clear commercial purpose and a practical route to implementation.

Bringing these perspectives into one programme allows participants to examine transformation across the institution, including the dependencies that can determine whether an initiative succeeds. 

From digital banking to a connected financial system 

Looking towards 2027, the chapter’s editorial focus extends beyond individual products and platforms to the connections between them. 

A payment or lending journey can involve a bank, a fintech, a payment network and several technology providers. Each contributes to the service, but the experience depends on how reliably information and responsibilities pass between them. 

For banking leaders, this raises practical questions about interoperability, data quality, governance and partnership design. For technology businesses, it places greater emphasis on how a solution fits within an institution’s wider architecture and operating priorities. 

Artificial intelligence in banking, digital payments, open finance and customer experience are part of this broader discussion. Their business value depends on the systems, controls and people supporting them. Chapter 39’s “Finance in Motion” theme provides a framework for considering those relationships as organisations assess their next phase of financial services innovation. 

The Dubai gathering offers an opportunity to connect current implementation challenges with the priorities taking shape for 2027: where to invest, which capabilities to strengthen and which partnerships can help institutions deliver. 

Two days to compare priorities and explore partnerships 

The opening-day conference will bring banking and technology perspectives into the main programme, with the FINNOVEX Awards adding industry recognition to the gathering. 

The second day will be dedicated to executive roundtables. These smaller discussions will provide a setting for participants to exchange experience and examine business challenges in greater depth. 

For delegates, the combination offers access to a broad leadership discussion alongside more focused dialogue. For sponsors, exhibitors and technology partners, it provides an opportunity to understand the institutional context behind potential collaborations. 

The participation of Alfa Bank, Sardine, Sends, BPC and Posidex brings banking and technology organisations into that exchange. Additional organisations interested in the Middle East financial services market are invited to discuss the available Chapter 39 partnership formats with Exibex. 

Sponsorship, exhibition and executive roundtable participation will be agreed according to availability, programme relevance and the associated deliverables.

This shift can already be seen across onchain markets as more assets and strategies move onchain. For instance, tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) have reached almost $40 billion, a 10x increase in just over two years, while the total stablecoin value has surpassed $300 billion.

So, as institutional capital finds its way into yield-bearing stablecoins, tokenized real-world assets, onchain credit and market-neutral strategies, the infrastructure is becoming more sophisticated, with investors just as concerned about the construction of yield opportunities, how secure they are and how to monitor where their capital is going as they are about the APY.

As Brandon Reid, Director of Business Development at Shyft, pointed out, among institutional investors, “there is more focus on where yield comes from, how it can be independently verified and what happens during extreme market volatility.”

Shyft is built to address this very shift from simply asking what a strategy can return to understanding its underlying mechanics, risks and reporting.

The yield management platform is designed to offer investors access to professionally curated onchain strategies covering crypto, real estate, gold and structured yield through self-custodial vaults. This way, Shyft is making strategies that usually require high minimums, private relationships and complicated onboarding easier to access, compare and verify for all kinds of investors.

Moreover, rather than having its users put together their individual positions across different protocols themselves, Shyft brings multiple strategies together within a unified capital allocation framework.

The platform is currently serving a retail audience while also positioning itself around the institutional side of the onchain yield market.

Its first two vaults are shCORE and shYIELD. Instead of relying on a single protocol or return source, these vaults combine different sources of yield within structured portfolios.

shYIELD is the performance-driven, multi-yield, higher-target-return strategy that combines high-frequency basis trading, private credit and curated DeFi opportunities through allocations to Radiant Prime, Maple’s syrupUSDC and Gauntlet USD Alpha.

shCORE takes a more balanced approach by blending T-Bills and controlled basis trading exposure to deliver stable and diversified returns through allocations to Radiant Prime, Ondo USDY and Sky’s sUSDS.

A new product that combines cross-chain staking, diversified real-world asset exposure and core single-asset yield strategies is also in the works.

These vaults remove the need for investors to navigate every protocol, strategy and risk individually, as Shyft brings them together within a single framework, thus providing a more structured way of allocating capital while maintaining onchain visibility into how that capital is deployed.

The underlying infrastructure of these vaults, offering access to crypto, real estate, gold and structured yield, is supplied by Ember Protocol.

The vault framework, Shyft says, uses the ERC-4626 standard, multi-role authorization, withdrawal controls, emergency timelocks, concentration limits, automated rebalancing and circuit breakers. Risks associated with onchain capital management are mitigated via smart contract audits, controls and testing across unit, integration, fuzz and invariant testing.

Furthermore, full transparency is offered via Accountable, RedStone and Chainlink PoR for off-exchange positions. This means allocators don’t have to take a manager’s word for performance; rather, they can actually check and verify it.

To bring shCORE and shYIELD to the market, Shyft has joined hands with GAP3 Partners, which is a VARA-licensed Virtual Asset Investment Advisor and acts as its Co-Curator. GAP3 provides research, analysis and recommendations around the vault strategies, adding an external investment-advisory layer to Shyft’s strategy-selection process.

It has also onboarded Blockchain Center Abu Dhabi as its Strategic Global Council, which “unites policy, institutional and vault curation expertise to accelerate Shyft’s global expansion,” the company announced on X. The government-adjacent institution advances digital asset initiatives by “connecting innovation with regulators and institutional capital in one of the world’s most ambitious markets.”

This partnership, Reid also shared, is intended to help the platform “build the right institutional relationships in the UAE.”

By targeting institutional allocations, regional partnerships and additional vault offerings, Shyft aims to expand beyond a small set of initial vaults into a broader platform for allocating capital across crypto-native and real-world financial opportunities.

At its core, what Shyft is trying to do is make onchain capital allocation less fragmented and more transparent by making the selection, combination, monitoring and accessibility of multi-yield sources possible through a structured vault-based framework.

“Onchain yield is evolving into a broader investment ecosystem, which means the next chapter of digital assets will be about creating frameworks that allow investors to access strategies in a more structured, transparent and efficient way,” said Reid.

As onchain finance continues to move toward larger and more sophisticated capital pools, Shyft is focused on bridging the gap between those strategies and the investors who want access to them without having to deal with the complex underlying infrastructure themselves, while making yield understandable, verifiable and accessible within a framework that investors can actually evaluate.
