Seth Ginns & Anthony Pecore: The Institutional Tokenization Frenzy Is In Full Swing (Our Thesis)
Network Effects Are Accumulating
Seth Ginns & Anthony Pecore join us in Singapore for an insider look into the tokenization supercycle.
They say the market has the tokenization trade backwards: pre-IPO equities are the exciting story, but assets that already trade with deep liquidity, like equities and treasuries, benefit most from 24/7 markets. He and Anthony Pecore of the Franklin Crypto team also talk through the "odd looks" they got launching Benji, why tokenized money market funds are now table stakes, how equities could be split into separate profit pools, and why they think assets will one day live in wallets instead of accounts.
Anthony Pecore is SVP and Director of Digital Asset Management at Franklin Templeton, where he has helped lead its on-chain fund efforts, including the tokenized money market fund Benji, live since 2021. Seth Ginns is CIO at Franklin Crypto and was an equities investor for 18 years before launching a liquid crypto fund in 2020.
