In this episode, we're joined by Carlos Domingo, Co-Founder and CEO of Securitize – a financial services platform that specializes in the tokenization of real-world assets. 

We dive into the world of asset tokenization, starting with Securitize’s journey from its founding to its role today as a leader in the space. We break down our framework for asset tokenization, discussing how token issuers transform legacy assets into more dynamic, interoperable digital assets that unlock new value creation opportunities.

Carlos explains the benefits of tokenization for all involved stakeholder, using different products available on Securitize’s platform as examples: We dive deep into BlackRocks BUIDL fund, that recently broke $500m in deposits, and the most recent addition to their product suite, Hamilton Lane’s $5.6B Secondary Fund. We explore Securitize's rigorous vetting process for adding new investment opportunities, how they make money, the differences between onchain vs. offchain ledgers and reporting requirements, and what the challenges are that lie ahead and what it will take for Securitize to 100x their business.

Tune in for a great episode on the fundamentals of Securitize and asset tokenization.
