At Digital Finance Forum in Bermuda last week, the most talked-about theme was Asset Tokenization. It was a privilege to bring Polkadot perspectives to this panel hosted by Frank Chaparro featuring NEAR Protocol and Hedera The broad consensus within our panel, "Protocol Perspective: Tokenization of Capital Markets and User-Owned Data" was that the tech and infrastructure are ready, and now is the time to act.
