023 - Arnab Naskar: Tokenized Securities on Bitcoin

Author: Lynne Bairstow, Israel Munoz September 5, 2024 Duration: 1:01:07

Arnab from Stokr shares how the Bitcoin protocol can be used to remake capital markets. Stokr is a regulated asset tokenization platform that helps issuers tokenize securities on the Bitcoin blockchain. They provide an end-to-end solution for the tokenization process and also serve as a platform where tokenized assets can be sold to investors. By tokenizing assets, Stokr offers advantages such as increased liquidity, direct ownership, and a direct relationship between investors and issuers.

They have successfully tokenized assets like the Blockstream Mining Note, which allows investors to participate in Bitcoin mining and earn returns in Bitcoin. Stokr primarily focuses on Bitcoin derivatives and structured products, as they see a growing opportunity in this market.
