Security Provisions of DLTs / Smart Contracts in the Context of Financial Asset Tokenization
In this talk we will be providing an overview of Distributed Ledger Technologies (public or private/permissioned) and their advantages in terms of security in the context of regulated (financial) asset management. We will elaborate on the needs for privacy, accountable governance and interoperation, and technologies to accommodate these needs.
Finally, the discussion will extend to the risks and issues surrounding smart contracts, custody solutions, tokenization challenges, and potential pitfalls associated with decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.
