Consilium Crypto has built global data pipelines and partnerships and is key infrastructure of the future, available today, and we look forward to their contributions as an industry partner of NCFA.” – Craig Asano, Founder and CEO, NCFA
There are so many exciting aspects of decentralized finance, it’s hard to keep track of them all given the fast pace of innovation in this industry. Here are a few that come to mind:
One of the major themes we see is that the fractionalization and tokenization of assets will continue to accelerate, allowing for more efficient flow of capital across the globe. Combining fractionalized ownership with blockchain-based digital identity solutions will enable individuals, not just institutions, to participate more freely in global capital markets. In the long term, it will be important to have certain rights and restrictions, regulatory or otherwise, baked into the smart contracts or “tokens” themselves, allowing individuals to buy and sell as they please with very little involvement of third parties and middlemen.
Canada has a history of producing world-class companies in the digital asset industry, including some of the top solutions for smart contracts, interoperability and tokenized securities. Regardless of where the entrepreneurs are based or where the original concepts were conceived, a lot of these companies move away from Canada due to regulatory burden or uncertainty. I think one of the most important issues that needs to be addressed is this brain drain or “IP flight” that seems to be accelerating.
Canadian entrepreneurs need some assurances that they can experiment with new ideas, launch prototypes and reasonably test technology without the fear of serious regulatory consequences. There is too much time and money spent on lawyers, and not enough on real innovation.
