Tokenization has the power to turn real estate on its head, transforming an industry defined by illiquid assets into one that is faster, more secure and transparent. Tokenization Is Here to Stay!

💡 When a government approaches tokenization, they face a pivotal choice: do they seek to collaborate and provide regulatory clarity, nurturing responsible innovation? Or do they adopt a stance of investigation, casting doubt on players involved? This contrast illuminates the diverse strategies governments employ to foster innovation while maintaining competitiveness within their jurisdiction. In this episode, Lucía Gallardo, McDavid S. and Jay Steinback lead a fascinating discussion on decentralized finance and emerging tech, from BlackRock's foray into tokenized asset funds to the Ethereum Foundation's encounter with regulatory scrutiny. 🎧 Listen in: https://lnkd.in/gsaD6XCr Timestamps 00:26 Intro 01:37 Guests intro 5:50 Federal Reserve Leaves Interest Rates Unchanged Yet Again 13:23 BlackRock is Launching a Tokenized Asset Fund 20:30 Ethereum Foundation Faces Inquiry From Government; Fortune Says SEC Investigating ETH 30:00 World's Largest Pension Fund Seeks Information on Bitcoin Under Portfolio Diversification Plan 35:50 MicroStrategy Buys Additional 9,245 Bitcoin (BTC) Worth $623M 43:23 Grayscale Adds ETH Staking to Its Ethereum ETF Application; Fidelity Amends Spot Ethereum ETF to Include Staking 48:50 BASE Gains 800k New Users 55:21 AI-Related Tokens Post Gains as Wider Crypto Market Remains Volatile 1:02:02 Tether's USDT Gets Delisted on Crypto Exchange OKX for EU Users 1:05:13 How to get in touch Grateful to our sponsors: Beyond Enterprizes: Discover a new era of business with Beyond Enterprizes, your 360º partner for seamless blockchain integration.

After most firms packed #tokenization headlines into the end of December, it was a lighter start to 2024, although what did arise is very solid. Some of the key developments the Security Token Advisors 🌴 picked up in today's Insights newsletter include: - Ondo Finance partnering with Wintermute to provide OTC trading and bulk orders to the Ondo US Dollar Yield (USDY) token. *Reminder: Wintermute has accounted for $3.5 trillion in digital assets trade volume to date. This reach could bring Ondo's products to way deeper waters than other tokenized products and real-world assets (#RWA), including to institutional client books as a yield-generating stablecoin, international broker-dealers, sell-side repo activity, and exchange reserves themselves. - Moody's Corporation Rating its first tokenized investment fund, this inaugural rating being a AA on FundBridge Capital's Singapore Dollar Delta Fund through SC Ventures by Standard Chartered Libeara platform - ISDA updating its #collateralmanagement model and framework to include tokenized securities and tokenized cash. This is the big leagues for on-chain repo and asset swaps (maybe The Brownfield Fund will even be granted access, for any Big Short fans) https://lnkd.in/egpwxi5J

It reflects at least 90% of the overall performance of the digital asset market. - FTSE Custom Digital Asset Infrastructure Index: focuses on the infrastructure layer of the #crypto ecosystem including smart contract platforms, protocol interoperability, and distributed computation and storage. - FTSE Custom Digital Asset Application Index: tracks assets linked to staking and decentralized finance.
