Additionally, it will provide a sneak peek into the upcoming Let’s Talk Cardano webinar scheduled for Tuesday, January 9, 2024, at 6 PM CET. Register here: https://bit.ly/487j0Du

TVVIN, a pioneer in the field of Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenisation, has identified three fundamental pillars that underpin its strategy to attract institutional interest. It’s important to note that unlocking institutional interest is not only essential for industry growth but also pivotal for achieving global adoption among the wider public. This is achieved by fostering trust and enabling access through institutional partnerships with an already established retail audience.

In this article, we will delve into the first of these three pillars:

PILLAR No1 — REGULATORY CERTAINTY

Navigating Local Regulations and Asset Offerings:

Navigating the regulatory landscape is a nuanced endeavour, especially in the realm of Real-World Assets (RWAs). Ensuring strict compliance to the regulations in your operational jurisdiction is a fundamental prerequisite. Equally critical is the meticulous alignment with the regulatory frameworks of the jurisdictions where you plan to introduce your assets. Take, for example, assets such as gold and other precious metals, which constitute the cornerstone of TVVIN’s initiatives. While these assets are typically categorised as commodities, innovative services, such as the creation of digital vaults with potential yield opportunities, may potentially then reclassify the tokens as securities. Understanding these distinctions is pivotal to TVVIN’s approach.

RWA Tokenisation: The Blend of TradFi & DeFi with Legal as the Conductor:

RWA Tokenisation exists in the space between DeFi (Decentralised Finance) and TradFi (Traditional Finance). Striking the right balance demands unwavering attention to legal matters. TVVIN, from its inception, prioritised establishing partnerships with highly experienced legal counsel in its chosen jurisdictions. Extensive consultations with legal experts guided our decisions and direction, allowing us to initiate dialogues with regulators and licensing authorities.

KYC KYC KYC & not to mention KYB & AML:

Institutional investors require stringent Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures. Complying with these requirements is crucial in attracting both institutional investments as well as maintaining regulatory compliance. The evolving landscape of Digital Identity offers opportunities to streamline these processes. However, it’s essential to choose solutions that align with regulatory standards and are acknowledged as trustworthy by the relevant authorities.

Your Jurisdictions Contribute to Your Brand:

While not directly tied to regulatory certainty, the choice of jurisdiction can significantly impact institutional appeal. TVVIN’s selection of Jersey and the BVI for its combined institutional platform operations exemplifies this strategy. Jersey not only embraces tokenisation but also boasts a high level of trust in institutional trading whereas the BVI is very advanced regarding the minting and distribution of tokens. Additionally, TVVIN’s gold vault located in Guernsey, Jersey’s sister island, enhances its institutional appeal. This unique combination positions TVVIN as the exclusive provider in this space, offering a compelling Unique Selling Proposition (USP).

Stay tuned for the upcoming articles where we will delve into the next two pillars:

PILLAR No2 — SECURITY

PILLAR No3 — USER EXPERIENCE

The journey of unlocking institutional interest in Real-World Asset Tokenisation is an exciting one, and TVVIN is at the forefront of this innovative landscape. We look forward to sharing more insights and experiences with you.

TVVIN takes real-world assets and issues them on the blockchain, where you can trade and earn the DeFi way while your assets are safely stored in the Real World.
