Tony Ashraf, Managing Director, is globally responsible for Digital Asset Transformation at BlackRock. In this role, he partners both internally and across the industry to leverage blockchain to disrupt traditional operating models, with a focus on partnerships, scale creation and product innovation. His work includes the firms efforts around DLT to redefine market infrastructure, tokenisation and our efforts to develop institutional grade cryptoassets solutions. Tony’s experience spans across both the buy & sell side, having worked in various Operational, Technology, Project Management, Business Management & Client Service roles in the UK, Japan, China, Singapore & Europe
Tokenization pilots have taken off around the globe, with many institutions running proof of concepts to test the feasibility, advantages and limitations of blockchain technology. The question is how traditional capital markets can get to scalable tokenized products for institutional portfolios. The speakers will address the current barriers to full scale adoption, the tangible benefits for end investors, and the progress being made to overcome digital payment and settlement, system integration and liquidity challenges.
