I think we are in a period of financial evolution. It will be very difficult for traditional financial institutions to say no to innovative tech like blockchain and DeFi. If they do, they stand to lose a lot of liquidity. Some of them are still experiencing technology shock. I think it's a matter of when and not if they will adopt #DeFi. Interesting times ahead.

📉 Crypto funding faced turbulence from 2022 to 2023. Where's the money moving now? Crypto funding plummeted by a staggering 80.5% from $34.33B to $6.67B when comparing Q1-Q3 in 2022 and 2023. CeFi and NFT sectors bore the brunt, influenced by #FTX's decline and #NFT project scams. Amid the overall downturn, #Web3 funding remained resilient, while #DeFi & Infrastructure projects captured more market share. 🔍 Dive in here for deeper insights from our VC database 👇 https://lnkd.in/dHbFdSZu

Why asset #tokenisation is a game changer? Especially for expensive and highly illiquid assets like #realestate for example. . Let's first look at what is tokenisation - tokenisation or #digitisation is the representation of certain #rights in relation to an underlying #real-world asset stored on the #blockchain. A #house for example. . Why is it a game-changer? . 1)  #Liquidity - let us take real estate as an example, through #fractionalisation, we can divide the rights to a piece of real estate into thousands of small pieces. Imagine, within minutes, you can buy a piece of #burjkhalifa for as little as $50 and start receiving your share of the #rental #income immediately.   2)  #Play in the #global arena – qualify and start buying and selling assets across borders.   3)  #Speed – Closing a sale within minutes instead of months. 4)  #Low fees – zero fees for the buyer and low fees for the seller 5)  #Efficiency – on-chain verification and distribution of dividends, on-chain voting for decision-making etc. With the help of smart contracts, we can easily program any logic that works best for each individual case. For example, automate the distribution of dividends, create a whitelist where only approved wallets are permitted to trade, assign different levels of rights and accessibility and much more. 6)  #Transparency – All the information on a public blockchain is easily auditable and available for everyone to see. 7)  #Liquidity premiums – As the entry bar is lowered and more retail investors come on board, we might see liquidity premiums caused by increased demand. 8)  #Alternative #financing #solutions - Engage with various #DeFi protocols. 9)  #Complete #ownership - all assets are stored in your digital wallet to which only you have access. 10) #Community building and emotional attachment – investing in real estate through fractionalisation people will be able to connect and create communities around the properties and locations they like.

At 3 Comma Capital SCR, SA we are passionate about high conviction investing, whether it is a business model, a technology, a founder or a demographic trend. We like innovation and to embrace disruption. Since we started 3 Comma we had the idea that our second Fund, and first opened to outside investors, needed to be something different from the crowd. We all came from traditional investing backgrounds, but we love what blockchains and crypto assets can bring to the table as an asset class. We trust that rather sooner than later, most of the investors will grasp the advantages of getting exposure to the only asset class available with an asymmetrical return profile and enjoy the compound growth that lies in the network effect of blockchain and crypto assets usage! Therefore I'm pleased to announce the launch of Global Crypto, our daily liquidity Fund that will give access to this new asset class in a seamless way, as any other equity or fixed income fund. The 3CC Global Crypto Fund investing universe is framed by CF Ultracap 5, representing the 5 biggest crypto projects available, to ensure that investors will have exposure to the most representative tokens of this new risk premium, including the passive yield generated by the validation of PoS networks. We also partner with Gemini as digital assets custodian, and CF Benchmarks that will provide us not only the benchmark but also the reference prices for our holdings.

💰 Valuation: A $16 trillion forecast by 2030! Research by the Boston Consulting Group and ADDX estimates the combined value of tokenized illiquid assets could soar, promising a world where real estate, fine art, and commodities find a digital home on the #blockchain. 🔍 Understanding How It Works: This revolutionary process converts asset ownership into digital tokens. #Smartcontracts automate processes, ensuring #transparency, #security, and seamless ownership transfer. 🛠 Use Cases and Industry Leaders: Banks like #JPMorgan and institutions like Franklin Templeton, Citi, ABN Amro, and the European #Investment Bank are trailblazing. From #tokenized funds to #realestate projects, they're proving the power of this #financial evolution. One prominent real-life example involves real estate #tokenization, where physical properties are #digitized into tokens that can be bought, sold, or traded. For instance, a luxury hotel in Aspen, Colorado, was #tokenized, allowing investors to purchase fractions of the property rather than the entire #asset. This opened up #investment opportunities to a wider range of people who couldn't afford the entire property but could #invest in tokens representing smaller portions of it. This is just the start of its many uses.
