The Future of ETFs and Innovations in Tokenization
As tokenized assets acquire prominence, there has been a growing sentiment among Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) experts and digital asset analysts that traditional ETFs may face extinction within the next two decades.
A recent panel featuring Niccole Bardoscia, Head of Digital Assets Trading at Intesa Sanpaolo, Senior Bloomberg ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas, and other industry experts provides evidence that discussions on this subject have gained momentum.
Additionally, recent developments underscore considerable progress in tokenization technology.
The digital assets sector’s leading player, Ledgible, has introduced a comprehensive tax solution that is specifically designed for tokenized real assets.
The initiative aims to ease the compliance burdens for businesses and organizations amid evolving federal regulations, such as the IRS Form 1099-DA, which requires detailed disclosures on digital asset transactions.
