But the real game-changer is their self-developed layer-2 blockchain platform, aiming to create a tokenized asset trading ecosystem with low fees and instant settlement.
At the recent Token2049 conference, Tenev made a bold statement: "Tokenization will completely transform the entire financial system." This is not just empty talk, but backed by concrete actions.
