About this session
The word tokenization gets used everywhere - but the infrastructure behind it is more nuanced, more varied, and more consequential than most realise. From fractionalised real estate to on-chain private credit to tokenized government bonds, this session deconstructs the mechanics of how different asset classes are brought on-chain, who the key players are, and what the market actually looks like in 2026.
