Is there one asset that TradFi and Crypto have always agreed on..? Yup: Tokenized treasuries - or treasury backed stablecoins (which are basically the same thing without the yield and the security status). From our conversations with investment managers, tokenized treasuries are where we see the clearest overlap of interest from both communities. Crypto has been using them since the introduction of USD backed stablecoins. Now they are re-introduced with yield and regulatory clarity (as a security) which appeals to TradFi. Why is this relevant? 1️⃣ They are a "low risk" entry point to blockchain based financial markets (read: crypto and tokenized assets) and 2️⃣ they can be used as collateral. 👀 So watch this space if you want to see "the merge" of TradFi and crypto in real-time... #digitalassets #crypto #portfoliomanagement #investmentmanagement #cryptotrading #technology #treasuries #tokenizedassets

A few years ago listening to the Wall Street Journal on my way in to work Bitcoin price was not listed. Now along with the dow, gold, and other key metrics, it is. Markets change, we are in the middle of a sea change in technology and how we interact with it much like the adoption of mobile phones changed business. Defi will I believe revolutionize payment systems. There are 3 ways to be a part of this change, own a spot etf, own digital assets through self custody, or work with a great company like Arbor Digital to own the assets and manage them for you.

Financial institutions are recognizing that one of the biggest drivers of the growth of blockchain technology is DeFi. This new sector is seen as a major disruptor in their operating environment, but also increasingly as an opportunity, with most major financial institutions now forced to have divisions and teams devoted to crypto and digital asset strategy and innovation. #tradfi #cefi #defi #crypto #decentralizedfinance #traditionalfinance #centralizedfinance https://lnkd.in/dqKTkA8b
