The Bermuda Monetary Authority has reported progress on its Embedded Supervision pilot, an Innovation Hub initiative testing how supervisory requirements could be embedded into decentralised finance infrastructure to provide technology-enabled, real-time regulatory assurance rather than relying on retrospective reporting. The first pilot is underway with Chainlink Labs, Apex Group Ltd., Hacken and Blueprint. The proof of concept explores how policy logic, compliance conditions and assurance mechanisms can be expressed in verifiable, machine-readable form within blockchain infrastructure, aiming to give regulators real-time visibility without adding reporting burden or compromising confidentiality. The work follows an earlier request for proposals for Innovation Hub participants and sits within the Authority’s longer-term development of next-generation supervisory frameworks under Bermuda’s Digital Asset Business Act. The Authority expects the pilot’s outcomes to inform its policy considerations for DeFi and plans further pilots in areas including on-chain reporting, tokenised financial instruments and AI-driven analytics.
