“It is our mission to help catalyze the digital asset space so we are very pleased to be working closely with Liquefy, through both our investment and deal origination interests. Adrian and his team have significant expertise in the securitized token space and have blended this knowledge with impressive innovations to provide asset holders with a platform where they can quickly and easily gain access to the liquidity they require.”

“East Chain, a Middle East and Asia based venture capital fund focused on blockchain investment, is hoping to showcase Liquefy’s technology through tokenizing some of their investors’ real estate assets. Tokenization will be the next wave of application and growth for the technology. We will see lots of value creation in both traditional assets and non-traditional assets such as Premier League football teams.”
