Digital assets built on top of blockchain protocols are becoming increasingly popular — real estate, bonds, company shares, and other forms of assets are being issued around the world. However, without the right underlying components, these assets can’t be secure or useful to the economy. We will discuss how technical and business infrastructure, new and existing protocols, and regulators work together to build the next generation of financial instruments.
