Tokenisation — the process of leveraging blockchain to create digital tokens that represent real-world assets — is gaining significant momentum, with some estimating that it could become a $3.8 trillion market by 2030. According to Michele Mattioda at Mikro Kapital, the microfinance industry — and the small and medium enterprises it supports — have a lot to gain from the tokenisation wave. He explores how tokenisation is gradually making inroads into the sector, and discusses Mikro Kapital’s experience launching the market’s first tokenised bonds to raise proceeds for microfinance institutions. https://lnkd.in/ebG9PCaW Mikro Kapital Michele Mattioda #microfinance #FinancialInclusion #microcredit #blockchain #cryptocurrency #crypto #tokenization #tokenisation #entrepreneurship #EmergingMarkets #BlockchainInnovation Jenny Hurley-Flynn REKT Partners
