Navigating Asset Tokenization with Securitize | Interview with Carlos Domingo

In the most recent episode of the Fundamentals podcast, we're joined by Carlos Domingo, Co-Founder and CEO of Securitize, a financial services platform specializing in the tokenization of real-world assets.

We explore the journey of Securitize from its inception to its current leadership in the asset tokenization space. We break down our high-level framework for asset tokenization, discussing how token issuers transform legacy assets into more dynamic, interoperable digital assets that unlock new value creation opportunities. Carlos shares insights on refining this framework to better address the complexities of tokenizing securities. He also walks us through the benefits of tokenization for stakeholders, illustrating these advantages with examples from Securitize's platform, including BlackRock's BUIDL fund, which recently surpassed $500 million in deposits, and the most recent addition to Securitize's product suite, Hamilton Lane’s $5.6 billion Secondary Fund.

Additionally, we delve into Securitize’s rigorous vetting of new investment opportunities, their revenue model, and the differences between onchain and offchain ledgers and reporting. Carlos also shares insights into the challenges ahead and what it will take for Securitize to scale their business 100x.

Tune in for a great episode on the fundamentals of Securitize and asset tokenization.
