This is a once in a generation opportunity, and we're just getting started. The best part of this effort is watching the ecosystem figure out the kinks, learn, and mature. The infra is essential and Chainlink's data and interoperability solutions are paving the way for tokenized assets to have greater utility, which think will unlock liquidity at scale. The ecosystem though -- that's the juice. It's nascent as all the different traditional service providers see the potential, and the crypto-native platforms, protocols, and participants keep blazing the way. Don't blink.

This blog post is a great place to start if you are interested in learning about the future of the financial markets. Chainlink is the most important development to come out of the blockchain space since the inception of Bitcoin. Without Chainlink's security based approach to tokenization and cross-chain transactions, it would be impossible to convince the worlds largest financial institutions to move their trillion dollar operations on-chain. Lots of banks and asset managers have built/are working on building their own private blockchains (mostly Layer 2s on Ethereum). These blockchains are essentially private islands of data that have no use case unless they are able to interact and transact value across other blockchains in a secure and reliable fashion. Chainlink's suite of products is directly tailored to unleash the power of blockchain to all markets. Financial markets is the obvious first step. Telecommunications is a close second. But soon enough, the whole world will be powered by these new blockchain systems, and Chainlink is the global standard that will make it happen. This is not an Ad or an attempt to shill a cryptocurrency that I own (full disclosure - I do own lots of $LINK), it is simply the product of my findings after being deep into blockchain/crypto for the past 6 years. Tokenization is inevitable. Chainlink is inevitable.

Digital Assets and Fund Board Governance: What’s Changing? Today, I participated in a Mutual Fund Directors Forum discussion on digital assets in the fund space, and one point stood out to me from an EY survey: 51% of investors plan to invest in #mutualfunds or #exchangetradedproducts (ETPs) tied to crypto, compared to 38% in 2023. Given this trend, fund #boarddirectors have much to consider. As new capabilities are developed, board directors must broaden their understanding and ask senior executives launching these new vehicles more questions, including but not limited to: What changes are needed to #credit and #risk models? What headcount or partners are necessary to support the tech stack? Which insurance providers will cover these assets and at what cost? How will these assets be priced, and what data sources will be used? How will “hot and cold” wallets (hot wallets for everyday use and cold wallets for storing significant amounts of crypto) be set up to maintain security, enable trading, and execute margin calls? What changes will the transfer agent need to implement to support these new fund types? What investor education programs are necessary? What due diligence frameworks will be applied for onboarding new tokens and protocols? Thank you to Graham Cathcart, Kristy Von Ohlen, and Prashant Kher for a thoughtful crypto overview and governance perspectives! #leadingnotlagging #innovation #fundboards #leadership #governance
