With the advent of blockchain technology, it is now possible to “tokenize” assets and create digital trading vehicles that track the underlying asset.
Atomyze is one such company doing exactly that, and the first asset class they are tokenizing will be commodities, and in particular, metals.
Jeanine Hightower-Sellitto, CEO of Atoymze, discusses with David Lin, anchor for Kitco News, how tokenization works, and the the benefits of using this technology over legacy trading vehicles, like futures contracts.
