The trillion-dollar tokenization opportunity is here, & financial institutions need to future-proof their strategy. This new #Chainlink industry report, with contributions from @BCG, @21shares_us, @Paxos, & @BackedFi, examines the tokenization megatrend.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (@hkmagovhk) is supportive of banks using public blockchains. In a recent guidance statement around the use of DLTs, Hong Kong’s central banking authority highlights various opportunities and risks, including the potential of tokenized deposits and the need for interoperability. Considering the cross-chain future, Ledger Insights suggests, “It wants to see interoperability between different DLT systems and traditional infrastructures to prevent fragmentation.” https://www.ledgerinsights.com/hong-kong-provides-dlt-guidance-banks-can-use-public-blockchain-with-caveats/
