In this episode of CP Sound Bites, Andrew Caruana Scicluna sits down with Riccardo Conti, co-founder of Fume, and Stephen Gauci Baluci of CC Fund Services Limited, to look past the hype around fund tokenisation and get into what it changes in practice.
This podcast takes a look at some of the harder questions in this space. Does fractional ownership genuinely create liquidity, or does it simply divide the same investors into smaller tickets? Does atomic settlement truly eliminate counterparty risk, or does it just relocate that risk elsewhere, into the smart contract itself, or into how underlying assets are held and recorded?
The panel also turns to what all this means for the people who currently run fund operations day to day, such as transfer agents, fund administrators, and settlement teams. If smart contracts can eventually handle transfers, admin, and settlement automatically, the question is what is left for these service providers to do, and how they might need to adapt.
