Under the framework the firms are developing, tokenization would change only the form in which share ownership is recorded. Investors would continue to purchase the same shares of the applicable fund, with the same rights, through the same channels as today. Shareholders could then elect to hold those shares either in traditional book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company or in tokenized form recorded on a blockchain and maintained through Superstate's transfer agency infrastructure. Shares held in tokenized form would carry rights identical to shares held in book-entry form and would not be freely transferable outside that recordkeeping system. Source: Bitwise Asset Management |
