Besides the ability to trade 24/7, the best part of the concept of tokenizing assets is that in that process, you unlock liquidity – and investors love that! Big time investor houses are starting to notice security tokens. Purchasing these offerings provides investors with the same…

If adopted, the rule changes would raise the cap on the amount companies can raise to $75 million from $50 million for Regulation A+ security offerings and to $5 million from $1 million for Regulation CF (crowdfunding) deals.

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) Blockchain Applications are Changing the World of Banking

What will banking look like in the very near future? Here's a hint: it probably will be completely different than it is today. The advent of blockchain technology promises disruption in just about every industry, and the banking world will certainly not be immune to it. Why? Because when you create an open-source financial services ecosystem that is permission less, fully transparent, immutable, without any central authority, and where users have complete control over their assets, you've built a platform just about anyone can get behind. The term is "Decentralized Banking" (or "Decentralized Finance") and they are terms you should…

The Language of Industry and its Impact on Blockchain

How do humans speak to each other? Depends on the environment. If we are enjoying a dinner together or a BBQ, or having a drink together, we speak simply, we use slang and our words are filled with emotion. Usually, we retreat to our personal spaces feeling good or warm and fuzzy. Then we go to work and we speak differently. We speak the language of our industry. Techno-geeks speak the language of x and y and 0 and 1. Doctors speak words no one can pronounce or spell. Lawyers speak with bushes in their pockets running in circles with…

Why Real Estate Investors Don’t Like Syndications: Enter Tokenization!

There’s nothing like investing in commercial real estate. So many dream of owning large office buildings, medical complexes, retail sites, high rise mixed use projects, and multifamily properties. The problem is that most of these people don’t have the resources to take down any of these projects on their own, as many project developments run into the hundreds of millions of dollars. So how can investors still take part in these deals? The answer is through real estate syndication. With a top-level view of a syndicate, the real estate “sponsor” finds the property, sets up all the offering documents, then…

Blockchain – An Evolutionary New Idea

Blockchain, what is it? Why do I need it? Where do I find it? It reminds me of when I first heard about the internet. The thought of having access to information about anything, at any time seemed crazy. And if that was not enough, I could message someone without talking to him or her, also at any time. Now I use it automatically, every day. Remember brick phones? Another crazy idea that we could carry a phone around with us and we could call anyone or, receive calls by any one, at any time. What a concept. Now, everyone…
