I published “Prepare Yourself! The Security Token Tsunami Is About To Hit”, on June 16th, 2018. It’s the second most read piece I’ve ever written. Now, 20 months alter, I think I was a little early in my forecast. But the security token ecosystem hasn’t been standing still. Industry players have been innovating, building infrastructure, and working with regulators to build a regulatory compliant, scalable, transparent ecosystem for investors around the world.
But are we where we need to be to start scaling the ecosystem, enabling the “Security Token Tsunami”? What are the major hurdles? What do we expect in 2020 ?Where is the technology? What’s the regulator environment like in the U.S. and around the world? Are institutional investors ready to participate?
To answer those questions, and more, we’re excited to have four Security Token experts on the call, each looking at Security Tokens from different perspectives. After the panelists formal remarks, we’ll have plenty of time for questions from the audience.
