Major financial institutions are embracing blockchain to transform capital markets, boosting liquidity, cutting costs, and enhancing market integrity. This brief explores the opportunities driving this shift and essential technical factors for success.
Tokenized Assets
Illiquid assets can grow from 16x to 17x from today’s levels (BCG, 2022).
Tokenized assets are digital tokens stored on-chain (on a blockchain) that represent physical and traditional financial assets, such as commodities, currencies, and bonds. They can deepen liquidity, reduce counterparty risks, and make opaque processes more transparent.
Early adopters can take advantage of a multi-hundred-trillion-dollar opportunity:
- $867T of value in traditional markets poised for disruption by tokenization (World Economic Forum, 2021)
- 80x expected growth rate of tokenization in private markets by 2030 (Citi, 2023)
- 97% of institutional investors agree that “tokenization will revolutionize asset management” (BNY Mellon and Celent, 2022)
Seamless Interoperability for Global Liquidity
Blockchain interoperability refers to the capability of blockchain networks to communicate with each other, sending and receiving instructions, data, and tokenized assets. Because on-chain markets are inherently isolated, seamless and secure interoperability is essential for a thriving blockchain-based global financial system.
The industry needs an interoperability standard:
- 100+ blockchains have been built, with varying technical attributes to support specific uses (Goldman Sachs, 2021)
- 77% of institutional investors want access to staking pools for enhanced yield on crypto assets (BNY Mellon and Celent, 2022)
- 72% of global institutional investors indicated a preference for working with an integrated provider for all digital asset needs (J.P. Morgan and Celent, 2022)
Financial Equity NFT: The Pivotal Paradigm in On-Chain Finance
Utility NFTs are a broad class of NFTs with specific practical applications. Just like any other NFT, they are typically created with smart contracts and are unique. They also share the same properties of immutability, transparency, and security.
Unlike regular NFTs, however, the core focus of utility NFTs is the equity, rewards or real-world applications, they offer NFT holders. Financial Equity NFT represents a pivotal paradigm in the application of Utility NFTs within the realm of on-chain finance. They ingeniously utilize technological solutions to bridge the trust gap between communities and institutions. This innovation fosters genuine decentralization and trustlessness in capital aggregation, management, and profit distribution. It opens doors for traditional capital and high-net-worth individuals to venture into the Web3 space. AlphaXLabs is an institution at the forefront of harnessing equity-based NFTs as a technical tool to offer online management services for community capital.
AlphaXLabs has adopted an innovative, community-driven, and market-oriented organizational structure, connecting experienced community networks and capital from Europe, the United States, and Asia through financial equity NFTs. It operates as a community fund with a sharp focus on cutting-edge AI and Web3 technologies. The profits generated by the fund will be distributed among its NFT holders, collaborative channel partners, and protocol revenue creators, with NFT holders receiving a minimum of 50% of the total returns. It will initiate the development of its foundational community with an initial batch of 3,000 financial equity NFTs. These community members will be admitted through an invitation-only membership system. The first round of invitations will encompass prominent figures in the Web3 and AI sectors, including leading investment firms, exchanges, media outlets, data service providers, project teams, and key opinion leaders (KOLs). Following that, invitations will be extended to industry researchers, developers, and traditional high-net-worth individuals with a solid understanding of Web3 and the AI industry.
As part of its commitment to streamlining asset management for community members, AlphaXLabs' products are meticulously crafted for user-friendliness and will seamlessly integrate MPC and AA technologies. Furthermore, the Dapp (Decentralized Application) will be easily accessible through an H5 interface on users' desktops. This strategic approach aims to reduce adoption barriers for Web2 users. The official product launch is scheduled for mid-October. Additional information can be found on its official Twitter account, https://twitter.com/AlphaX_Labs.
The future of finance isn't just decentralized; it's user-centric. It's about empowering individuals and reshaping the financial narrative.
