Kick off 2026 with Brian Belley, Scott Kitun, and Teddy Lyons as we break down the strongest online private markets year since 2021—and map what’s next. We cover Reg A’s surge, platforms shifting to broker-dealers, secondaries, tokenization, SEC leadership changes, and how AI will reshape product and cost structures.
