The next two months are crucial
During the next two months there will be crucial development in the blockchain space, according to Vinay Gupta, founder of Mattereum and speaker at Oslo Blockchain Day, 30th of April.
“During this spring there will be many changes in the blockchain space. For example, we will see some resolution on the debate about security and payment token regulations by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)”, says Vinay Gupta, an entrepreneur, investor and one of the famous forward thinkers of our time.
Gupta says that his latest Mattereum project might also be ready in the next two months with exciting consequences for the blockchain space. It is circled around a Stradivarius violin priced for $9 million. A team of lawyers, cryptographers, software engineers has been working on building a bridge between the real world legal contracts and blockchain smart contracts
The goal is that to make the violin not just a physical asset, but also a digital one, which can be programmatically tokenized and sold to multiple investors. Mattereum’s goal is to do the same for things that computers and smartphones have done for information over the past 30 years.
