Following the crypto conference last week, there’s a clear shift in tone at the SEC task force, recognising that privacy isn’t inherently hostile to regulators.

The conversation is now about how compliant privacy can coexist with oversight.

That’s exactly the space COTI is built for: privacy that scales and plays by the rules. COTI CEO Shahaf Bar-Geffen explains👇

🔍 Digital identity is at a crossroads

Featured on Crypto news, COTI CEO Shahaf Bar Geffen explains why the future of digital identity is self sovereign, privacy-preserving, and user-controlled.

Currently, stablecoins power 30% of crypto transactions.
Yet almost every payment is still fully public.

The next evolution is confidential payments. For stablecoins to scale, they can't broadcast your salary, contracts, or spending habits.

Our latest piece explores how private stablecoins will be built, and how COTI makes it possible. 👇

What's the difference between secrecy & privacy?
→ Secrecy hides information.
→ Privacy secures information.

In a compliant world, you need full verification and control over who sees what information.

That’s why COTI created programmable privacy.
Watch the explainer

Privacy is no longer a feature in crypto, it’s becoming the moat, and a major investment thesis according to a16z.
Our latest blog explores why 2026 is the inflection point where confidentiality moves from narrative to necessity, and how programmable, compliant privacy will define the next cycle.
If you’re thinking about where crypto infrastructure is heading, this one’s worth your time.

gCOTI Token Update

We want to clarify that the current gCOTI circulating supply has not been changed and is fully aligned with the long-term vesting schedule.

We’re aware that, due to a technical reporting issue, this alignment was not properly reflected on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko.

The team wants to assure you that there is no recent change to the tokenomics, vesting plan, or emission design.

We are already in contact with the relevant parties and actively working to have this corrected as soon as possible.

Thank you. StayCOTI.
