Our Experience at POLYCON

Last week, our co-founders had the pleasure of attending POLYCON and sitting on the ‘Tokenize Your Own Security’ panel. Speaking at POLYCON made one matter clear: security tokens have arrived hard and are here to stay.

All realms of traditional finance will be affected by security tokens; traditional financiers may not understand blockchain but they get liquidity. Being able to tap into billions of investors is a key benefit that is not lost on financial experts. And access to a global pool of capital is just the tip of the iceberg; speed of deals, programmable ownership, liquidity and automated compliance are huge value adds in the security token space.

POLYCON hosted some of the best blockchain, fintech, and capital markets leaders in the world. During ‘The Next Wave of Blockchain Assets’ talk, David Johnston, Chairman of the Board at Factom said:

“I would not be surprised if there were $1 trillion of securities on the blockchain by the end of 2019”

As the first wave of securities tokens actualize, the focus on regulation will be high. Securities laws have been developed and refined for decades so securities tokens inherently acquire legal precedents that protect and illuminate token buyer rights. As such, the SEC will do due diligence to ensure that securities tokens and issuing companies are compliant.

As Polymath along with registered exchanges and decentralized exchanges like EtherDelta, RadarRelay, IDEX build the infrastructure necessary, the space will continue to gain stature. And as Corl continues its pursuit to be the first securities token in the space, attending an event that advanced the concept of securities tokens helped bring our goal even further into focus.
