Zebec Network Targets Institutional DeFi with 2026 Compliance Roadmap

The protocol’s roadmap follows a series of late-2025 milestones, including official membership in the Nacha Payments Innovation Alliance, which governs the U.S. ACH network. By aligning with ISO 20022 messaging standards, Zebec is positioning its infrastructure for compatibility with SWIFT and major central bank networks. A core component of this shift is the recent integration with NatPay, a U.S. payroll processor handling $158 billion in annual transactions. This connection allows employers to manage payouts through both traditional ACH channels and Zebec’s blockchain streaming layer via a unified dashboard.

Founder and CEO Sam Thapaliya stated that the initiative formalizes the project’s long-term commitment to enterprise-grade standards. The framework now covers four pillars: regulatory certification, including preparations for MiCA compliance; treasury transparency through verifiable on-chain buybacks; expanded enterprise connectivity; and the finalization of tokenomics. Following the conclusion of all vesting schedules in March 2026, the ZBCN token is set to transition into a fully deflationary model with no further supply increases. These steps are intended to provide the security and regulatory assurance required by large-scale institutions moving into decentralized finance.
