Yesterday, we were honored to organize an event on ‘Tokenization of Real World Assets – Perspectives from HK and the US’ in NYC.
This is a topic of high interest among various finance ecosystem players as traditional financial institutions across the world, including in Hong Kong, increasingly explore tokenization to improve efficiencies, increase liquidity and create new revenue opportunities.
We had a great lineup of panelists representing diverse perspectives -
Chris Brodersen, Managing Director, Blockchain & Digital Assets, Enterprise Technology & Information, EisnerAmper
Grace Chao North America Lead, Markets Digital Assets, Citi
Marty Jetton, Advisory Board, Hex Trust
Anson Law, Chief Representative, Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA)
Christian J. Lopez, Head of Blockchain and Digital Infrastructure, Cohen & Company Capital Markets
And moderated expertly by
Glendy Kam, Chief Product Officer, Tassat
The Director of the Hong Kong Economic & Trade office, Maisie Ho, made opening remarks on Hong Kong’s efforts to create a vibrant digital assets ecosystem.
Some high level takeaways from the panel discussion:
▶️ Tokenization in finance has the potential to rewire global financial architectures unleashing new efficiencies and revenue opportunities.
▶️ Challenges remain, including lack of global regulatory clarity, interoperability and education.
▶️ Yet, new use cases are seeing adoption such as recent money market tokenized funds, stable coins and CBDCs. The potential is huge.
▶️ HK is setting out progressive, collaborative, regulatory pathways for tokenized financial products with initiatives such as Project Ensemble and mBridge.
This event would not be possible without the support of EisnerAmper, especially Lily Hui and Chen Angela, for graciously offering their venue and hospitality to host the event. Thank you!
Many thanks to the panelists and everyone who attended for contributing to a great event!
