The holiday season is upon us. Here at Leaseum Partners, in the last month we have focused on closing strategic partnerships and hosting a range of international educational events about blockchain and tokenization.

Market Outlook

Tech companies are expanding to New York City

Amazon recently announced that Long Island City in New York City is one of the two winning locations for it’s second headquarters. This announcement will bring in an expected 25,000 new jobs and an influx of $2.5 billion in investment to the city.

Hot on the heels of Amazon in terms of employment workforce is Google. Alphabet Inc’s flagship behemoth is nearing a deal to either buy or lease 1.3 million square feet at the soon to be transformed St. John’s Terminal. Google already employs 7,000 workers in the city and if it closes on the aforementioned deal, it would add an additional 13,000 new workers.

The Digital Securities ecosystem is being built.

Within the digital securities ecosystem, there is a lot of exciting things happening right now. Both traditional stock exchanges (SIX Swiss Exchange and Malta Stock Exchange) as well as emerging exchanges (such as tZero and OpenFinance) are building out the technology backbone to provide liquidity to tokenized assets.

We are also beginning to see the supporting infrastructure coming into place that will help institutional investors enter blockchain. From major players developing institutional custody for cryptocurrencies (Fidelity Digital Assets and Coinbase) to teams addressing KYC (Civic) or Cap table management (Vertalo). We believe digital securities are the future of traditional securities.

What we have been up to

Organizing events around the world

In the last month, we have organized events in London and Hong Kong. On December 4th we hosted a Meetup event in London about security tokens. We also hosted events in November at The University of Hong Kong and alongside the Private Equity / Venture Capital Club at London Business School. You can read about our London meetup in our blog.
