Tom Zschach: Tokenization Is Here And The Next Wave Is Massive (Prove It)

Tom Zschach says anyone still doubting tokenization is already behind: the institutions are here, the rails are live, and the shift is happening now.

Three years ago nobody would have thought about carrying a token over the Swift network, and now the DTCC's tokenization service is live.

Live from Link:NYC in Hudson Yards, the former Swift Chief Innovation Officer explains why he founded Logos, and why institutions holding $100 million in stablecoins or tokenized assets need to move from trust me to prove it. He breaks down why the real decision sits with whoever accepts a token, from custodians to DeFi lending protocols to marketplaces, and why tens of thousands of tokenized assets will need evidence that can be published once and accepted everywhere. He also explains why privacy will matter, why he sees almost endless opportunities to invest as trillions of dollars come onchain, and how Logos' first design partners span stablecoins, payments and Securitize.
