Led by David Sedacca, Polkadot Capital Group will blend traditional finance expertise with digital asset and enterprise tech experience. The team plans to offer data-driven education, market insights, and curated engagement with key ecosystem players. “Our goal is to lead through data-driven education, driving adoption through knowledge transfer, and adapting in real-time to the dynamic priorities of institutional market participants,” Sedacca said in the release. “We envision a future where institutions clearly understand the unique value of our network and can engage confidently.” The group’s offerings will cover centralized and decentralized exchange infrastructure, real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, staking, and decentralized finance (DeFi), alongside case studies and partner resources.
