Chen Arad’s Post

S. Alice Chen, our General Counsel and COO recently participated in a panel discussion at #DACOM Singapore 2024 - a pivotal summit on digital asset compliance and market integrity held by Solidus Labs. The session highlighted how you can still put protections in place using "permissioned DeFi", where access and smart contract parameters can be put in place. For instance, IX Swap, our decentralized exchange (DEX) and automated market maker (AMM) for #RWA and security tokens, allows "permissioned" users to access and swap RWA tokens directly through the liquidity pools' smart contracts. 📌 Check out the replay for all the insights: https://lnkd.in/g-vFu4VG 💡 At InvestaX, we offer the leading #Tokenization SaaS platform for companies and fund managers who are looking at exploring new opportunities and a one-stop shop for all their digital asset, Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization requirements.

Great session yesterday at #DACOM 2024 by Solidus Labs! Starting with a fireside chat with Bybit CEO Ben Zhou, ending with our panel on Derisking DeFi with Antonio Alvarez Lorenzo from Crypto.com, Ramesh Krishnamoorthy from DBS, Sugandhi Govil from Circle and expertly moderated by James Airo from Solidus Labs. DeFi protocols are self-executing applications on blockchain that can automate financial services such as lending, borrowing, trading and asset management without intermediaries, and post FTX, there has been a push towards DeFi due to the risk of a single point of failure. DeFi is really about removing unnecessary intermediaries, and transferring some of that control and trust to technology and code, ultimately giving the end user more choice and control. We talked about how you can still put protections in place using "permissioned DeFi", where access and smart contract parameters can be put in place, think IX Swap (our DEX and automated market maker for RWA and security tokens) where "permissioned" users are whitelisted and only then can access and swap RWA tokens directly by interacting with the liquidity pools' smart contracts. The pace of development and innovation in this space is incredible... it's why I'm still constantly engaged and excited to be building in this space! Thanks again Chen Arad Asaf Meir Praveen K. Dosodia Rabih Massih Diana Xu, CAMS for the invite and it was great to catch up with new and old friends!

Navigating the Waves: The Resilient Rise of Real-World Asset Tokenization in Crypto 🚀 The convergence of traditional finance and decentralized finance through the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) is not just an innovative trend, but a burgeoning ecosystem brimming with growth and resilience. In 2024, this sector has not only weathered the volatile storms of the crypto markets but has emerged as a beacon of stability and potential. Market Expansion and Institutional Confidence Firms like Franklin Templeton and Wisdomtree Prime have led the charge in embracing platforms such as Ethereum and Stellar for issuing tokenized assets, notably treasuries. The market cap for such innovative financial instruments has surged to impressive numbers, reflecting robust investor interest and trust in the viability of RWAs. Innovation and DeFi Integration Innovation within DeFi protocols like Pendle, which now supports RWAs, exemplifies the sector's dynamic adaptability. These platforms offer sophisticated mechanisms for managing yields of tokenized traditional assets, thereby enhancing the liquidity and functionality of DeFi systems. Challenges and the Road Ahead Despite its promise, the RWA sector faces regulatory hurdles and the ongoing task of building trust among traditional financial institutions. The collaboration between blockchain entities and conventional finance is crucial for overcoming these barriers and fostering a conducive environment for further growth. As RWAs continue to bridge the gap between crypto and traditional asset classes, their integration heralds a new era of financial innovation, making investment more accessible and diversified. #RealWorldAssets #CryptoInnovation #DeFi #Blockchain2024 #FinancialFuture

The biggest risk factors in the new era of decentralized finance may be economic, not technical, says Jesus Rodriguez, CEO of IntoTheBlock: "As an evolving financial system, the risk in DeFi seems to be transitioning from technical to economic. The large scale, fast growth speed, increasing complexity, and deep interconnectivity are moving DeFi into unforeseen territories from the risk perspective. With only a handful of companies working on risk in DeFi, the challenge is now to catch up." #opinion #crypto #defi #risk https://trib.al/GttHRsT
