Tweetable Quotes
“There's multiple advantages to digitizing or tokenizing real estate or any other private asset, for that matter. Many are quite intuitive, but they may be weighted differently depending on the asset and the type of owner. Some key advantages are naturally liquidity and trying to capture a liquidity premium because a lot of these private assets do have illiquidity discounts. Access to a broader set of global investors, reduction in cost of actual entry into these assets… Those are the key advantages of allowing ongoing continuous trading of private assets.” - Solomon Tesfaye
