Security Token Show: #13 - Custody for Security Tokens
Tuesday Sep 24, 2019
Tuesday Sep 24, 2019
Tune in to this episode of the Security Token Show where Kyle Sonlin and Herwig Konings discuss the latest Security Token News and Insights with this week's focus on custody for security tokens.
As we have discussed extensively throughout these podcast episodes, security tokens are defined as a digital representation of ownership in real-world assets. This is represented as a token that has legally-binding ownership rights to the underlying asset. Today we’ll get into how custodians will manage asset ownership on an institutional scale, and what is required to manage ownership in a digital token that has been originated on the blockchain.
