CMS is releasing its Tokenized Assets Podcast Series

03/07/2019

The former chairman of Nasdaq, Robert Greifeld, predicted in 2017 that in five years' time all stocks and bonds on Wall Street will be tokenized. Since then, the use of tokenization has been increasing more and more. This creates challenges, but also offers various opportunities.

Today, we released the first in a series of podcasts that will give you comprehensive insights on applying blockchain technology to the entire process of tokenizing a real-world asset and the creation of a security token. Tokenizing assets means lowering costs for issuers, but also improving transparency, efficiency and liquidity of real-world assets. The tokenization of real assets democratizes access to new investment opportunities and allows for fractional liquidation and ease of exchange with other investors. Another interesting benefit of tokenization is the ability for companies to issue programmable securities. The token contract could ensure that corporate actions, for example the allocation of voting rights, are performed automatically.

Throughout the series, more than 20 specialists will provide insights on several aspects of tokenizing assets with the use of blockchain, including CMS experts Katja van Kranenburg, Clair Wermers and Simon Sanders.
Every Wednesday we will release a new Tokenized Assets podcast. Please visit your podcast channel of choice and use the subscribe button to receive a push-message of every new release.
