Four Pillars, a blockchain research and solutions company, has announced the launch of the Four Pillars Advisory Network (FPAN), an expert network designed to connect leading global blockchain expertise with institutions across Asia.
The launch of FPAN builds on Four Pillars’ recent institutional digital asset research collaboration with FnGuide. In September, the two companies announced plans to publish regular joint research, provide tailored research for institutional clients, and support companies in developing digital asset businesses, with the goal of addressing information asymmetry in the digital asset market. Four Pillars’ official announcement also states that the partnership combines FnGuide’s financial data and quantitative analysis capabilities with Four Pillars’ expertise in onchain data and blockchain research.
With the launch of FPAN, Four Pillars is expanding its institutional support beyond research to include strategic advisory and connections to the global blockchain ecosystem.
Asia’s digital asset market is entering a new phase as regulatory frameworks become more defined and participation from major financial institutions and enterprises continues to grow. As institutions move from exploring blockchain to building actual businesses, they increasingly require not only a strong understanding of the market, but also specialized expertise across regulation, technology, infrastructure, liquidity, asset tokenization, and access to global business networks.
FPAN is a network of domain experts, industry leaders, and global practitioners. When institutional clients require deeper expertise in a specific area during the course of a project, Four Pillars will work with members of FPAN to provide broader and more specialized advisory support. Four Pillars describes FPAN on its institutional advisory site as a curated network that extends the depth and reach of its advisory work.
Through FPAN, Four Pillars aims to give financial institutions and enterprises across Asia more direct access to the expertise, experience, and networks of leading global blockchain protocols and platforms. The goal is to go beyond market analysis and strategy development by helping clients connect with relevant ecosystems and turn strategic plans into actual business execution.
FPAN currently includes 14 leading global blockchain companies: LayerZero, Pantera, Figure, Solana, MetaMask, Securitize, Arbitrum, Allium, Further, Lido, RedStone, RWA.xyz, Sui, and Sphere. The same 14 participants have also been reported publicly in Korean media.
Jinsol Bok, Head of Research at Four Pillars, said:
“There is still a significant gap between global markets and Asia’s blockchain market in terms of information, experience, and networks. Through FPAN, our goal is to connect leading global companies across different sectors with financial institutions and enterprises in Asia, share the experience and know-how they have accumulated with the Asian market, and create new opportunities for collaboration.”
Going forward, Four Pillars plans to continue expanding FPAN’s areas of expertise and network. The company will also connect FPAN with its institutional businesses, including its research collaboration with FnGuide, to support financial institutions and enterprises from the development of digital asset and blockchain strategies through to execution.
