Laying The Groundwork For Tokenisation

As the digitalisation of real-world assets gathers pace, it's imperative that managers and fund domiciles are ready to meet the opportunities this presents. Elliot Refson, Head of Funds at Jersey Finance, and Americas Lead Philip Pirecki were interviewed recently on this topic.

How is the digitalisation of real-world assets progressing?

Elliot Refson: The industry is gearing up for the digitalisation of real-world assets – where the rights to assets are tokenised and can be traded digitally – and is investing in knowhow and resources. We are starting to see lawyers establishing digital funds teams and administrators bringing on board digital leads and forming digital committees, for example.
