How does tokenization actually create real-world value? What's needed beyond just the technical process of putting assets on-chain?
Archax, the first and only UK regulated digital asset exchange, broker, and custodian, is focused on answering these questions through their comprehensive approach to real-world asset tokenization.
In this episode, I speak with Anya Markitanova, who leads institutional partnerships at Archax. With her background spanning international law, traditional FinTech, and crypto investing, Anya brings a unique perspective to the conversation about what's truly driving adoption in the tokenization space.
Far from just a technical discussion, our conversation explores the ecosystem necessary for tokenization to deliver on its promise - from custody and regulatory compliance to distribution and liquidity.
For asset managers and investors interested in how tokenization is evolving from promise to practical implementation, this episode offers valuable insights from someone building at the intersection of regulated finance and blockchain innovation.
Key Topics Covered:
Archax's regulated marketplace for digital assets
The full tokenization value chain beyond just the technical process
Stablecoin services and infrastructure
Regulatory evolution in different jurisdictions
The knowledge gap between TradFi and DeFi players
Distribution as the critical factor for mainstream adoption
