ABOUT BLOCKCHAIN AND DIGITAL ASSETS
Blockchain technology replaces the traditional “trust economy” with a new “authentication economy.” It eliminates the need for middlemen, and allows financial transactions of all sorts – from securities trades to the purchase of concert tickets – to be conducted more quickly, more safely, less expensively and with greater transparency than traditional methods of commerce allow. Data placed on the blockchain are visible virtually instantly, and cannot be deleted, copied, altered or hidden.

Digital assets are vehicles used to conduct transactions, or create and store value, on the blockchain, and include digital currencies, utility and platform tokens, and tokenized securities.

Thanks to blockchain and digital assets, virtually every type of transaction can be accommodated – from brokerage transactions to concert tickets to marriage certificates – with massive improvements for buyer and seller, albeit at the expense of the broker or middleman.
