Institutionalization of Digital Assets
Digital assets (or crypto) have garnered significant attention from the media, financial analysts, governments, regulatory institutions, and investors over the last year and a half.
Digital assets is defined broadly as digital units of account in which cryptographic techniques are used to regulate the generation and distribution of units on a blockchain. In practice, crypto means multiple things to different people: an investment asset class like commodities, a store of value like gold, a legitimate medium of exchange, a covert method of exchange, an immutable record of rights & ownership or even an incentive mechanism like rewards points.
It has potential. But to realize this potential, institutionalization is needed. Institutionalization is the at-scale participation in the crypto market of both traditional and emerging players within the global financial services ecosystem. We believe institutionalization is a necessary next step for crypto to create trust and scale.
So what steps should organizations take to start their crypto journey? We discussed below key areas at high level with our panelist:
The case for crypto and institutionalization
The emergence of the tokenized economy
Key challenges facing institutionalization of crypto
A framework to building the capabilities that enable a crypto business to scale
