"Blockchains are working fine. But for tokenisation to scale, it has to outperform today’s capital markets - on cost, evidence, trust, speed, usability, and design. The blockchain isn’t the bottleneck; governance, interoperability, and incentives are.".

Thank you to speakers Wayne Hughes of ‪@labanquedunmondequichange‬, Luis Rincon of ‪@Messari‬, Richard Skeet of Hivemind Capital, Richard Briffod of ‪@mkspampsa‬, and Thorben Lüthge of ‪@DekaInvestments‬ for joining us.
