Podcasts about tokenized securities

In this episode of the 2Tokens Podcast, host Alex Bausch sits down with Meindert Jansberg, co-founder of EnergyBlocks (formerly Assetblocks), to explore how blockchain technology is being used to open up clean energy investments to a broader audience. EnergyBlocks offers tokenized green bonds that provide a 6.5% annual return, with a fully digital and automated onboarding, investment, and reporting process. Though powered by blockchain, the platform is designed for simplicity—making it easy for retail investors to participate without dealing with crypto directly.Meindert explains how their offerings are MiFID-compliant, legally protected, and currently available to European investors, with a minimum investment starting at €5,000. The company is also preparing to launch an equity product, offering potentially higher returns and a deeper connection to project performance.Alex and Meindert also discuss the future of energy tokenization, including the concept of tracking and settling energy usage via blockchain, the regulatory challenges of turning kilowatt hours into tokens, and the exciting prospects for tokenized energy storage in batteries. It's a candid look at the practical, legal, and technical layers behind real-world asset tokenization.To learn more or to invest, visit: www.energyblocks.nl Investor portal: www.myenergyblocks.nl (EU citizens only)participants:Alex Bausch: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexbausch/Meindert Jansberg: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meindertjansberg/Do you want to join one of the use cases?

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?

In previous episodes of our podcast series Cryptocurrencies and Digital Assets: The Wheels are Turning - Are You Up-to-Date?  we've talked about cryptocurrencies and Stable coins, which of course are built on blockchain or distributed ledger technology. In this episode, Oyster's Jeff Gearhart, Ed Wegener and Buddy Doyle discuss the nuances for determining if a digital token, whether it is a tokenized security or a security token, is in fact a security.     

Douglas Borthwick is Chief Marketing and Business Development Officer of INX Services. INX is bringing Crypto Trading into the Light with a Fully Regulated Platform by offering a fully-licensed and regulated cryptocurrency, security token and derivatives trading platform. Their goal is to be a leader in the regulated security token platform space. INX announced in January 2018 its submission of a confidentially-filed draft registration statement to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for an initial public offering of the INX Token. Douglas is a Wall St veteran holding various senior roles at Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch from the mid 90s to the late 00s. After, Douglas began his own startup, Faros Trading, a foreign exchange agency, which was ultimately sold to FXCM in 2013. Our conversation is a master class on capital markets and security tokens. We discuss why INX is committed to being fully transparent and regulatory compliant, why INX is focused on retail, what is a security token, how tokenization will unlock non traditional assets, why it is inevitable that we will tokenize all securities , and much more. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Douglas Borthwick. ––– YIELD With a market so new and so powerful, it goes without saying that investment opportunities are everywhere, with sometimes the potential for astonishing returns.

On this week's episode of The Encrypted Economy, my guest is Shari Noonan, the CEO, and Co-Founder of Rialto Markets.

Shari is a true innovator when it comes to the future of private capital formation and the tokenization of private assets. Given my own lengthy background with Alternative Trading Systems, I just had to have her on the show.

Gabriel Shapiro is a blockchain attorney and writer focusing his practice on the intersection of securities law, corporate law, and blockchain networks. Shapiro has published a number of pieces on this intersection -- specifically, the tokenization of corporate capital stock, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), and sufficiently decentralized blockchain networks. In this conversation, Gabriel and Derek talk about all three of these areas -- blockchain-enabled public markets, the future of decentralized decision making, and Gabriel’s thesis on embracing securities laws for token-enabled distributed networks.

What are the benefits of tokenizing regulated assets, and how might it revolutionize the world of finance? In this episode, Joe Petrowski (Research, Parity) is joined by Adam Dossa, Head of Blockchain at Polymath, a security token platform currently building a custom blockchain on Substrate called Polymesh. They discuss the world of tokenized securities and the promise this area of decentralized finance holds for democratizing global wealth creation. Dossa also explains Polymath’s reasoning for moving from Ethereum to Substrate, including the unique benefits of the blockchain building framework. Highlights: 01:35 - Benefits of tokenizing securities 07:51 - How to verify the underlying asset 12:52 - ERC-20 vs Polymath’s ERC-1400 token standard 16:44 - Limitations of Ethereum 18:14 - Polymath’s white label solutions 19:57 - Operating in multiple jurisdictions/Polymath modules 23:39 - Moving from Ethereum to a custom Substrate blockchain 26:48 - Benefits of Substrate’s GRANDPA consensus mechanism 28:55 - Benefits of Substrate’s forkless upgrades 31:00 - Users and use cases Polymesh 42:51 - Interaction between modules and smart contracts 47:00 - Progress status of Polymesh Links: Polymath website (https://polymath.network/) Learn more about Polymesh (https://blog.polymath.network/polymesh-leveraging-the-substrate-framework-ede8a77c6019) Polymath on Github (https://github.com/PolymathNetwork) Polymath on Twitter (https://twitter.com/PolymathNetwork) Key Quotes: “Financial infrastructure should be transparent and accessible. It should be more like a public good than siloed, private infrastructure.” “Whilst Ethereum is great, there’s a saying: ‘You can please some of the people all of the time or all of the people some of the time.’ Ethereum is a general purpose blockchain, it’s not optimized for any specific use case. In our particular domain of regulated securities, there are some choices which are not optimal.” “You have this huge, trillion-dollar regulated securities market globally. If you can bring those assets into DeFi, that’s like DeFi times a hundred. You have all these interesting, varied asset classes and you can start to use those as collateral. Instead of using Ether as collateral, you can take your Apple shares, your Tesla shares, or some basket of shares and use those as collateral.” Special Guest: Adam Dossa.

Trevor Koverko, Founder and Chairman of Polymath Network, joins James Black to discuss the origins of the Polymath securities token platform (7:28), the various benefits tokenized securities can offer both issuers and investors (13:55), and why he believes staking tokens are the next big trend in crypto (28:11). Listen until the end to learn about the silent auction that spawned the first-ever Polycon in the Bahamas, and for details about Polymath’s latest blockchain technology project.

In our first official episode, Alon talks to Jor Law, Head of Issuance at tZero and founder of Verify Investor, Kinsey Cronin, VP of BizDev at PrimeTrust and Andrew Dix, the founder of Crowdfund Insider. The panel discusses the path from Crowdfunding to Tokenized Securities and everything in between.

Fintech@Kellogg's Faeron Meldrum-Taylor speaks with Kevin Li, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Athena Blockchain, a full-service investment bank for blockchain, about tokenized securities, initial coin offerings and the future of cryptocurrencies.

Erik is joined by Josh Stein, CEO of Harbor, Stephen McKeon (@sbmckeon), finance professor at the University of Oregon, and Parker Thompson (@pt), seed-stage investor, partner at AngelList and token skeptic. The guests give an overview of all things tokenized securities. Josh tells us why he’s so enthusiastic about the rise of the blockchain and recounts the origin story of Harbor. They talk about why it can be so complex to manage compliance with securities rules and regulations that vary around the world and how the blockchain can solve a big part of that problem.They discuss why liquidity is so important when it comes to any type of security and how the blockchain can turn illiquid assets into liquid ones. For example, in the future, you might be able to own part of a sports team or part of a famous Monet if the owner decides to tokenize those assets.Thanks for listening — if you like what you hear, please review us on your favorite podcast platform.

The rise of ICOs brings a new and yet more powerful form of crowdfunding. So with a solid background in crowdfunding, having founded the p2p platform Finbee and enjoyed a career in building and investing in fintech startups for consumers, Laimonas Noreika, Co-Founder and CEO of DESICO, is ideally-placed to analyse why investors are seeking out ICOs so keenly, to give advice to entrepreneurs looking at starting a project, and to comment on where he believes the sector is heading. In this episode, Barry E James talks to Laimonas on the likely outcome of the battle between the global demand to invest - and to invest early - and the mistrust and need for regulation of ICOs. They discuss how DESICO is looking to bridge the gap between investors and ICOs by offering a regulated environment for trading security tokens inside a legal framework; about trading tokens from Day One rather than having to wait; and especially how the Ministry of Finance in Laimonas’ forward-looking homeland of Lithuania has just published its guidelines for cryptocurrency and ICOs, divided into four areas – regulation, taxation, accounting, and anti-money laundering/financing of terrorism. DESICO is in the private sale stage, Whitelist will be about two weeks and airdrop available soon - see Telegram for more - and is expecting the platform to be fully operational by Q2 2019, if not before. Laimonas’ final words of advice for ICOs is to think everything through very carefully, to remain compliant with regulation, and definitely to avoid calling a security token a utility – that will get rumbled!
