“We want to bring crypto and tokenized assets to a wider audience, allowing them to trade with confidence. This is the future of finance. Blockchain will eventually ‘eat’ traditional financial services through tokenization.”
According to Assia, there will be a natural meeting of the financial services and blockchain in the coming times, given the technology brings about newer possibilities for asset ownership. He even predicts that sectors such as art and property, in the coming times, stand a chance of getting tokenized.
The company released its platform and the crypto asset wallets in March in the United States. Also, in the same month, the company made an announcement about acquiring smart contracts development company Firmo. This was done with a vision of ploughing and adding more tokenized assets to the platform.
The founder and the CEO of the company- Yoni Assia recently gave a keynote speech at the Paris Blockchain Week Summit. He talked about how with the help of Stablecoins and tokenization of different assets, can the divided between the financial market and the crypto market can be joined. He said-
“[Crypto] is still a drop in the ocean compared to $140 trillion of assets under management [in the capital markets.] That’s a big gap. In the blockchain industry, everything everyone is building will start moving when the transfer of assets starts shifting into the blockchain.” […] Most crypto exchanges only trade crypto assets and core assets…in the future, we believe the entire ecosystem will enable people to trade new kinds of tokenized assets, whether equity, property/real estate, or art, they will be able to trade and invest in a wide variety of assets coming from countries all over the world.”
