Why DeFi Matters [Part 2]: Tokenization and the 'financializing' of our lives, new forms of liquidity, and DLT privacy challenges

Part 2 of our 3-part series. Although it's early days for DeFi, tokenization of real-world assets shows promise for bringing much-needed liquidity to existing and newly emerging asset classes. Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) open even more opportunities and solutions for enterprises and companies within the realm of tokenization, but the regulatory circle needs to be 'squared.' How can we expect organizations to regulate assets without proper governance and regulations? For innovation to continue and grow, there needs to be a clear path forward - but leaps are being made for a secure DeFi environment, including private ledgers and Zero Knowledge Proofs. What impact might these have in the financial world in the coming years, and are they sufficient to address the level of privacy needed? Join Ian Horne, Micky Tesfaye and Scott Johnson as they tackle all this and more. Disclaimer: Converge is Convera’s new podcast that discusses a range of financial services topics.
