Tokenization Fundamentals Webinar Series: Part 1

Tokenization is changing how market participants think about ownership records, settlement, custody, compliance, and the movement of assets. Yet the legal and operational questions can be obscured by unfamiliar technology and imprecise terminology.

This is the first program in a three-part Tokenization Fundamentals Webinar Series. This opening session will explain the underlying concepts, connect blockchain infrastructure to familiar fund operations, and establish the foundation for later programs examining tokenized products and asset classes, followed by regulatory and implementation considerations. Session times will alternate across the series to broaden international participation.
