Obviously, they\u2019re not going to just run their whole system using a regular blockchain wallet and centralized exchanges,&#8221; said Colin Butler, global head of Institutional Capital at Polygon.<\/p>\n<p>Tokenization is a path to fractionalization, allowing more people to own a portion of an asset that would have to be sold as a whole before under a higher value. Estimates from Big Four firm PwC set global assets under management to reach $145.4 trillion by 2025, a massive market <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwc.com\/ng\/en\/press-room\/global-assets-under-management-set-to-rise.html\">expected<\/a> to welcome more investors and, thus, improve assets&#8217; liquidity through tokenization. <\/p>\n<p>Institutional investors \u2014 meaning players managing this capital across the world \u2014 are seeking &#8220;services that work well with what they\u2019re already doing, that are easy to implement, flexible and upgradeable,&#8221; noted Butler. <\/p>\n<p>Polygon said it has been working with many of those global players. In January, investment firm Hamilton Lane announced the first of three tokenized funds backed by Polygon blockchain, bringing part of its $824 billion in assets under management on-chain. By tokenizing its flagship Equity Opportunities Fund, Hamilton Lane was able to lower the minimum required investment from an average of $5 million to $20,000. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We are excited to share that a portion of our recently closed Equity Opportunities Fund V is now accessible to qualified investors through a new <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Securitize?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Securitize<\/a> feeder fund tokenized on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/0xPolygon?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@0xPolygon<\/a>.

In November, the American giant\u00a0executed its first cross-border DeFi transaction on a public blockchain. The initiative was part of a pilot program exploring DeFi potential for wholesale funding markets. The trade was also performed on the Polygon network. <\/p>\n<p>Despite recent progress on integrating DeFi into traditional markets, the lack of clarity regarding regulations continues to keep many from embracing emerging technologies. One of the major questions about this topic is: what are securities? The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has beenasserting through enforcement actions that this definition may <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ly to a broader range of assets and services than many crypto firms expected. As Butler stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If you tokenize a security, does the digital token become a security itself, or just represent one?&#8221;\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jez Mohideen, co-founder and CEO at Laser Digital, the crypto arm of Japanese banking giant Nomura, believes the lack of regulation is affecting digital asset risk management, as it prevents firms from effectively separating units and business models.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;More regulation is especially necessary in certain parts of businesses, for example, making sure capital is looked after by individuals with fiduciary responsibilities. As more and more regulatory enforcement of this nature comes into play, there will be an increasing amount of institutional interest,&#8221; he told Cointelegraph.<\/p>\n<p><template data-name=\"subscription_form\" data-type=\"defi_newsletter\"><\/template><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
