Today's podcast features a discussion on tokenization with Terence Norman from Blue Tractor and Graham Rodford from Archax, hosted by Johnny Fry. Archax is a UK-based regulated digital securities exchange. Graham's journey started in asset management and led him to crypto in 2013. By 2020, Archax became the UK's first regulated digital securities exchange custodian, allowing them to operate in both crypto and securities. They have been developing their platform for six years and are now at a stage where they believe the world recognizes the value of moving assets on-chain. Graham mentions their efforts to set up a European hub in the Netherlands post-Brexit, highlighting the region's strong regulatory environment and the establishment of their European operations there.Blue Tractor offers a unique ETF structure that protects the manager's investment and trading strategies, distinguishing it from fully transparent ETFs. A fun fact from the episode is that the name "Blue Tractor" has an interesting origin, inspired by Terry's experience on a small farm in Essex, England, where the initial ideas for their structure were conceived while he was on his blue tractor. The focus of this episode is on the practical aspects of tokenization and its relevance. Graham describes tokenization as the process of recording ownership on a blockchain or distributed ledger technology (DLT). He explains that tokenization streamlines the tracking of ownership for various assets like shares, cars, or houses, which can traditionally be recorded on paper, spreadsheets, or databases. Terry highlights the benefits of tokenizing actively managed mutual funds. He explains that ETFs already have a form of tokenization as each share represents a portion of the underlying portfolio. However, tokenization can bring additional benefits like intraday liquidity and lower trading costs.

In this Podcast, Olivier Rikken (2Tokens), Meindert Jansberg (Assetblocks) and Martijn Siebrand (ABN AMRO) discuss their joint use case for the European Blockchain Sandbox. The partnership between these companies, including Rabobank, aims to legally explore the use case of tokenized financial security and stablecoin integration. Together, the goal is to bridge the gap between the physical world and the digital economy by tokenizing real assets and euro's.The existing base case presented by Assetblocks offers an unique investment opportunity by allowing individuals to invest in renewable energy sources through tracking stocks. Investors acquire tokens representing solar, wind, or battery parks, entitling them to share in the profits generated by these assets. The ownership proof comes in the form of a Non-Fungible Token (NFT), classified as a security under MiFID II regulations, ensuring compliance and investor confidence.In the mentioned sandbox setting, the joint use case aims to explore the use of stablecoins tied to Euro's or bank deposits. Both non-hosted and hosted wallets provided by banks will support these stablecoin transactions, ensuring new ways of accessibility and convenience for investors, offering new levels of accessibility and convenience for investors. Additionally, the project explores the possibility of tokenizing these assets as security tokens, compliant with EBS standards, allowing discussions on regulatory matters with EU and individual European member state frameworks.The NFTs include embedded metadata, providing crucial information about the underlying assets. Investors can verify each NFT at a detailed level, enabling them to track production and access real-time value data. To comply with regulations, investors undergo a Know Your Customer (KYC) procedure during onboarding. Once whitelisted, investors can easily purchase NFTs using Euros, with a focus on exploring payment in Euro-based stablecoins.Host: Olivier Rikken, 2TokensGuests: Meindert Jansberg, Assetblocks | https://www.linkedin.com/in/meindert-jansberg-8251481/Martijn Siebrand, ABN AMRO | https://www.linkedin.com/in/martijn-siebrand/Do you want to join one of the use cases?

With the "Power to the Many" initiative, we are paving the way for the emergence of local energy communities, empowering individuals to become partial owners of a solar farm. We do this in collaboration with partners like Evershed Sutherland, who is on our podcast today. The "Power to the Many" program facilitates citizens in acquiring a share of solar energy production capacity from the Ballumerbocht solar park in Ameland, a client of Eversheds Sutherland. This energy can then be utilized within their homes or exchanged with fellow users, promoting sustainable utilization of solar power and fostering self-sufficiency. This visionary project fosters the development of a new local, eco-friendly energy market, enabling communities to generate, distribute, and consume energy—a concept enshrined in European legislation designed to expedite the transition to cleaner energy sources.Eversheds Sutherland is providing invaluable support to the 2Tokens foundation, leveraging pro bono legal expertise to navigate the initiative's legal complexities.

This podcast is an expert session about the token roadmap. This podcast gives insights about our token roadmap. The tokenroadmap is a product of the 2Tokens Foundation. The goal of the roadmap is to create clarity in the regulatory path of tokenization and services around crypto assets, both pre as post MiCA. Many parties want to use tokenization in their project or business, but it is often unclear what the regulatory requirements are. Therefor as the 2Tokens Foundation we started this project. Using this roadmap should help make this search easier.Ever since creating the token roadmap two years ago, many changes and additions have been made. During this session, Clair Wermers and Olivier Rikken will discuss the new developments regarding the token roadmap and its connection to MiCA (Markets in Crypto Assets). One of the biggest differences is that before MICA, the focus of the token roadmap was quite a lot on the issues of the token. Now that MICA is involved, the token roadmap has been updated on both sides - both for issuers and investors.Clair Wermers is a partner at CMS Amsterdam and advises on regulatory and corporate matters, including everything that has to do with tokenization and digital assets. She has extensive experience in advising clients on all aspects of their digital asset projects, from initial structuring to ongoing compliance.Olivier Rikken is a long time entrepreneur in the area of web3, and is also a board member of 2Tokens. He is in charge of the research team that now focuses on the token roadmap, making him an ideal person to tell all about the new developments regarding this important topic. He will provide insights into how MiCA has changed things for issuers and investors alike, as well as what other changes have been made to ensure that tokens are compliant with regulations around the world.Subscribe to our newsletter https://share.hsforms.com/1bf2NmSX1Tp...

In this podcast, Claudia Terpstra explains The Real Time Money Markets Liquidity Platform Ubermorgen for Rabobank, and Martijn Siebrand elaborates on the tokenized assets for ABN AMRO. Claudia explains that what Rabobank is trying to achieve is real time settlement for commercial paper. Commercial paper is a short term debt instrument that is traded on the financial markets. In the podcast she explains how they have been working on this since 2018, when it was still too complicated to achieve. The solution was a hybrid concept where blockchain is used to distribute data, so settlement times can be increased for this particular financial instrument. In short this means that trade dates could be taken down from 2 days to approximately 30 minutes. Martijn goes into the shift from centralized finance to decentralized finance. Currently, ABN AMRO is focusing on tokenized securities. Tokenized assets are real world assets, tangible or intangible becoming digitized, converted into tokens and stored on the blockchain. Tokenized assets could have multiple benefits, such as instant settlement and better readability. Listen to the rest of the podcast for a more in-depth explanation about the concept of Ubermorgen and tokenized assets.

About the invoice token (use case)The Invoice tokens use case is brought into the 2Tokens foundation by ABN Amro bank and supported by, among others, CMS Law, Erasmus University. The working group has an international approach and representation, and consists of many people from different sectors. To create a token standard, a balance between theoretical and field knowledge is important.An invoice is one of the most common documents used in a (business) transaction. It ranges from a simple receipt from a cash register to a highly complex document that relates to goods or services (to be) provided. Most of these invoices are not instantly paid, locking a lot of value of the issuers that can not be used in their day-to-day business operations. Tokenizing these invoices opens up many new possibilities to lend, borrow and trade these invoices, unlocking working capital for the issuers, alternative yield options for lenders and more substantiated foundations for trading, netting or bartering.Creating a token standard is the goal of the invoice token working group. The token will represent the invoice but also considers that not all information on it can be disclosed due the sensitivity of the information. The digital ledger technology can provide trust to the lending and borrowing processes related to the invoice by preventing double lending, questioning the content via zero knowledge proofs or implementation in permissioned blockchain solutions. It can be used to tap into new financial offerings like liquidity pools and other DeFi solutions. These are just a few examples of the possibilities.About the Panel Discussion GuestsBhairav Patel is the CTO of Defactor.com – a Dublin, Ireland based company.

In 2020, the 2Tokens use-case "Electronic Bill-of-Lading (EBL)" started with the aim to develop the first legally binding digital transfer of ownership of the eBL based on statute law. In the past years, a lot had been done to realize this final step.Aljosja Beije, Blocklab CTO and captain of the EBL use-case, and Victor van der Hulst, program manager at Spark! Living Lab at the time of recording, currently, coalition manager at DBC, discussed the progress from going to EBL use-case phase I to phase II: integrating the TradeTrust framework into the Naviporta platform and making it ready for commercial use.In this podcast, we touch on the various players involved, the benefits of the use-cases, and the biggest challenges they had to overcome (not surprisingly, these were mainly regulatory issues). Aljosja and Victor also talk about how blockchain and tokens are used to create a common frame of reference.
Do you know where the energy you consume come from?Today's podcast guests Killian Daly, general manager at EnergyTag, and Leon Gerard Vandenberg, director at Sunified, will answer this question for you.On the energy grid, we need a traceability mechanism that says who put green energy on the grid and who is allowed to say ‘I am green'. However, the way that it's done today, is by using annual accounting methodologies which are not reliable and accurate...EnergyTag brings together over 100 organizations (incl. UN Energy, Google, Microsoft) to define a framework making it possible for consumers to claim green energy every hour or even every 5 minutes of the year. Sunified is one of the companies making this happen in reality with their energy tagging hardware for solar panels.In this podcast, we will discuss The importance of hourly vs annual energy tagging How to tag and trace the energy? The importance of transparency in the energy market Local4Local ….A big thanks to David van Ineveld for hosting this podcast.

One of the more tangible steps that foster the #energy #transition, is the #fractionalization of #energy #assets. However, tangible doesn't necessarily mean easier. There are still several hurdles to overcome and best practices to be developed. Think about technical and regulatory issues and questions such as ‘who should lead the implementation: top-down vs. bottom-up?'In the coming months, @CatenaPower and @Blocklab will roll out MVPs to showcase that fractionalizing energy is possible and to discover which unforeseen hurdles have to be tackled. What do you think they will come across?Raw summary/textOne of the more tangible steps in tokenizing the energy sector, is fractionalizing energy assets and applying tokenization (fractional ownership). The first steps that are necessary towards system integration, is showing that fractional ownership is able within the legal framework. From a technical point of view, it is easily doable. However, from a regulatory point of view, it is more complicated. You first need to overcome those issues, before you can start developing the underlying technology.Discussion between top-down vs. bottom-up. Also, there are several other hurdles that need to be tackled before fractional ownership of solar panels can be achieved. However, do the definition that are created by business, fit the legislations. That's rather difficult, cause you don't know what you are exactly looking at (ownership, consumption). You simply choose a way to fit in the current regulation, it's not the best solution, but let's squeeze it in. The next few months, we will have to create a general understanding of energy token, source and offtake token to speed up the discussion and development. Expect some interesting new projects/MVPs in the coming months to see how fractional ownership works. Certainly, there will be many unforeseen problems to overcome. What do you think these MVPs will have to face?Blocklab is creating such a platform: We face a huge challenge in de energy transition. The more difficult part is that we need everyone to be involved to make a change. It's not just investor or the government, or the network operators, but it's all of us.Meindert Jansberg: Working for Catena Power, focus on democratizing energy assets. Think it's a way to give people the tools to orchestrate and balance their use of energy. Before we can let people managed their own energy, there are a lot of steps to be taken. This helps to create energy independence.Arnoud Jullens: Director at Blocklab, software company in Port of Rotterdam, software innovations for energy transitions and logistics chains. 2 co-directors and 30 developers.
