Part 2 – Tokenization of Equities – The Implications

In the second part of our two-part pod series on tokenization of equities, the conversation with our special guest Brett Redfearn, Founder and CEO of Panorama Financial Markets Advisory, moves from the basics of tokenization to the implications of this major market structure change. Brett discusses current token activity, the role of the issuer in the move to decentralized trading of equity tokens, the debate over OPR and whether it is relevant to the token movement and how sandbox experiments will work. In the latter part of the discussion, Brett opines on potential threats to traditional financial institutions such as exchanges and transfer agents and he provides advice to regulators and his crystal ball on the end state for equity market structure in 5-10 years.
