The Tokenisation of Assets’ Implications for Financial Markets

We’ve seen some interesting deals in the local market that are pointing to the increased usage of distributed ledger technology in financial markets. Late last year the JSE acquired Globacap, a UK fintech company whose unique distributed ledger technology allows digital registrar services to be reflected in real-time. The JSE will collaborate with Globacap to establish a private placements platform to advance and digitise capital raising for infrastructure finance and SMEs. The tokenization process marks a promising solution in converting rights to an asset into a unique digital representation - a token. To talk about the increased use of block-chain and tokenisation as a strategy to promote access to capital Michael Avery is joined by Renergen CEO Stefano Marani; Earle Loxton, CEO of EasyCrypto and Charles Savage, CEO of the Purple Group
