Steven Gaertner, CEO of Toto Finance, at the EBC12 Startup Battle, European Blockchain Convention 2026, Barcelona.

[Toto Finance](https://www.linkedin.com/company/totofinance/) was selected among the top 12 startups for the EBC12 Startup Battle at the [European Blockchain Convention](https://www.linkedin.com/company/european-blockchain-convention/), and our CEO [Steven Gaertner](https://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-gaertner/) took the stage to show why the world's largest asset class belongs on chain.

Commodities move roughly 25 trillion dollars a year, still settling over days through a dozen intermediaries. We are building the rails that change that: multi chain issuance with compliance built in, instant stablecoin settlement, insured physical assets with on chain proof of reserve.

The best part was the room. Investors, regulators and builders who skipped the convincing and went straight to the sharp questions on custody, redemption and liquidity.

Massive thanks to the European Blockchain Convention team for the invite and for putting together one of the strongest lineups in European Web3.
