From Wall Street to Onchain Vaults: The Convergence of TradFi & Web3

​Spend your afternoon with Chetan Karkhanis, Senior Vice President, Digital Asset Client Engagement, Franklin Templeton, and Brian Chan, Chief Development Officer of Animoca Brands, where two voices from either side of the tokenization market share on how institutional-grade real-world assets are opening up to everyday traders and investors.

​Tokenization has moved from pilot to product. As institutional-grade real-world assets come on-chain, the question for everyday investors is no longer whether these products belong in their portfolios, but how access actually changes. This session looks at what that shift means in practice for the traders and retail investors in the room.
