(1/18) Fund tokenisation, a thread (which may help with some confusion). Let me set the scene – and please stay with me to the end...

Hey
@DJ_Bax01
- all parties involved were aware that we were tokenising on Hedera. We always speak to issuers before tokenising their assets on chain.
37
196
637
(17/18) If we decide to tokenise, arguably we do not need to approach the investment manager, but we always do as we want long term relationships. The investment manager’s level of involvement can vary but both abrdn and Blackrock were aware that we were tokenising on Hedera.
13
172
495
(18/18) Neither objected, hopefully due to our integrity and regulatory permissions.
I encourage you, wherever possible, to read official press releases associated with any news and you will always find ours (and maybe some other interesting stuff) on
@archaxex
or
@archaxcrypto
.

@BlackRock

@abrdn_plc
MMFs last year, created on both the
@hedera
and
#Ethereum
"

(12/18) In the case of both
@abrdn
and
@Blackrock
, Archax (to the knowledge of both investment mgrs) has been instructed by our clients to invest in their funds. Therefore, from the investment manager’s perspective, they see our nominee company as the legal title holder.

(2/18) We believe all financial assets are moving on chain. Equity, debt, funds etc etc, you name it, we think it is heading there.
Since 2018, we’ve been carefully navigating the regulations to the point we are at now, where everyone is talking about RWA.
3
18
140
(3/18) We see lots of RWA tokenisation projects appear but often they look like securities without appropriate regulation or ecosystem. We try to ensure everything we do is compliant.
1
17
134
(13/18) On our side, we maintain beneficial ownership records of our investors and it is these that have been tokenised: you invest via Archax, you receive tokens representing your investment. Since they are our records, we get to choose the blockchain.
3
11
126
(15/18) This is the main reason we are tokenising
#RWA
– to increase functionality such as transferability, use as collateral and automated lifetime management of the asset. Every asset you invest in becomes more useful beyond just its intrinsic value.
1
12
123
(4/18) I’m going to write this generally to avoid being jurisdiction specific, so please forgive any local regulatory/legal nuances you may have.
Issuances of financial assets have records of ownership. So if I set up a company, I usually have a “cap table” showing the owners.
1
11
121
(8/18) A lot of our thinking is similar to that captured by in their blueprint for UK fund tokenisation.
Anyway, the point is, when people talk about tokenising a fund, there are a bunch of ways to achieve it.
1
10
114
(7/18) [Incidentally, if you are interested in the world of Central Securities Depository's you should check out what we are building with
@montisdigital
and their Digital CSD].
One of the things that we have worked on for years now, is how do you tokenise a fund correctly?
1
10
115
(5/18) That can be kept on a piece of paper, excel, database or DLT. Traditionally, the medium doesn’t matter so long as you have one. For a normal business, that’s pretty straightforward.
When you enter the world of securities, things become more convoluted.
1
10
115
(6/18) Often the entity on the cap table is a custodian on behalf of an investor. This is the legal title holder who sits on the cap table holding the asset for the UBO. There can be many chains of custodians both local and international, or CSDs.
1
10
114
(16/18) When working directly with an investment manager, Archax will always need to open accounts and may also have other agreements with them too. Therefore, the investment manager always sees Archax investing.
2
11
111
(14/18) We call these beneficial ownership tokens "BoTs".
BoTs are still securities (in UK at least) that can be used in many of the same ways as natively digital tokens.
1
10
110
(9/18) The utopian vision is for the fund to be natively digital, whereby the books and records of the direct owners of the fund are recorded on chain, and any movement on-chain causes this first level of ownership to change.
1
11
111
(11/18) Therefore, most tokenisation projects you see are where your counterparty holds the underlying and tokenises their books and records.
Archax is looking at both natively digital funds and tokenised books and records.
1
10
110
(10/18) In reality that is difficult for a bunch of reasons, which include cost, local law/regulations and the way custodians and investors interact with products.

It is! The tradfi asset number is that large.....but the proliferation of digital securities/tokenised assets means the future number is even bigger. Think of all of the value creation occurring in the metaverse which just didn't exist in the past.

Has anyone digested these last few days?
Not just the SEC approved 11 BTC ETFs at once (has that ever happened?!), or the volumes of those ETFs, or even that it took 11 years since the
@Gemini
application, but rather the fact that this changes everything in digital.

Great article with some interesting examples of theory coming to life in efficiencies of debt issuance.
On Friday, UMB Bank distributed a “waterfall” of payments using ethereum, with quarterly payments to come. In total the waterfall includes three different ERC-20 tokens, one representing each of the tranches and another, a stablecoin pegged to the dollar:

Yes. Trying to solve for diff lvls of custodians, cross border and multichain is a challenge. Imagine a dividend flowing seamlessly from issuer through a chain of custodians to ultimate beneficial owner. A lot easier if we have a token/agreed chain and std. Unlikely in short term

Forever: Whether you think cryptos are a store of value, a means of payment, a currency, or the technology upon which all financial infrastructure will be based, the chances are now firmly that blockchain / DLT / cryptocurrencies are here to stay.

@lex_node
An instrument representing an asset is virtually every financial asset - whether equity for co. ownership or ETF/ETC for a variety of underlying. When the form of that representation is captured on dlt along with the ownership, you improve the efficiencies of both.

Public chains: With a swathe of ETFs to follow, both single names and baskets, any reputational stigma for TradFi institutions about creating product on those public chains should recede, meaning we are likely to see more interoperability rather than siloed development.
