Many factors inhibit institutional issuers and investors from adopting security tokens as readily as some institutions have taken to crypto-currencies. But an asset class in need of tokenization - privately managed assets - has been identified and an institutional grade infrastructure is being built to welcome institutional investors.
Alex Kech, the CEO of the Singapore-based cryptocurrency and digital asset custodian Onchain Custodian, has drawn on 22 years in the securities services industry with BNY Mellon and SWIFT to build a service that makes institutional investors comfortable about investing in the token economy. He spoke to Future of Finance co-founder Dominic Hobson about the current state and likely development of the security token markets, what could happen to traditional service providers and the importance of standardising data exchanges.
