“The world’s largest asset manager said it plans to launch ‘BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund Ltd.’ with Securitize, a digital-asset firm specializing in tokenization.”
“The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has teamed up with the central banks of France, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States Federal Reserve Banks to explore asset tokenization.”
In an important milestone, we had our first formal on-chain secondary transaction in Spain for a tokenized financial instrument over a public blockchain. Here’s the full story 🧵
A big reason the private markets are expanding is that growing businesses are staying private longer than they used to. Yet, most investors have been locked out from participating. The goal of Securitize Markets is to change that.👇
