Introduction to This Documentary

I decided to create this documentary about security tokenization after learning that many of my preconceived notions about security tokens were just flat wrong.  During my journey, I also discovered that several individuals I respected (and who were otherwise well versed on cryptoassets) also had misconceptions about security tokenization, how and where security tokens attempted to add value, why they might be needed, and the mechanisms of how they worked.

As my friend, Taylor Pearson pointed out in a really long Tweet storm: understanding how cryptocurrencies work means understanding cryptography, distributed systems, economics, and politics.

Security tokens add to this list . . .

  • SEC regulations & securities laws
  • Equity mechanics
  • Private and public issuance of stock
  • Secondary trading
  • Guidelines from over 100+ legal jurisdictions

My purpose here is not to convince you that security tokens and asset back tokens are valuable or needed, but instead to simply the complex and tell the story of projects makers, issuers, investors, and influencers driving adoption of security tokens.

To create this content, I had conversations with leading thinkers and creators in the field. What I found is that, at every step of the way, the tokenization of securities, real estate, art, and other real-world assets is forcing us to reexamine old habits and ways of operating.

This documentary started off as a passion project, quickly turned into a huge, time-consuming pain, and is now back to being a passion project as we hit publish.

I hope you enjoy our tokenized security documentary, “Tokenize The World.”

Case Study: Why Nomics Was the API of Choice for Token Sales Platform Tokensoft

API Case Studies · November 11, 2018

In this case study, we talk to Ron Gierlach, blockchain developer and wallet builder at Tokensoft, to get a ‘dev’s eye view’ on what it’s like to use Nomics’ Crypto Market Data API.

TokenSoft is a SaaS token sale platform which enables clients to launch blockchain-based securities and token sales under US Regulation D, Regulation S, and Regulation A+ in addition to other token sale formats.

Part 1 Description

Today’s conversation is with Sam McIngvale who heads up Coinbase Custody.

Coinbase Custody’s clients include PolyChain Capital, Multicoin Capital (who we’ve had on this podcast, by the way), Autonomous Partners, and Walden Bridge Capital. Coinbase Custody’s mission is to make digital currency investment accessible to every eligible financial institution and hedge fund in the world.

Before Sam was running Coinbase Custody, he was VP of Engineering at Apex Clearing Corporation.

As a side note,I’ve been to several crypto conferences for institutional investors and heard several unremarkable conversations about custody. This is not one of them.

Sam is on point throughout this entire interview and this conversation results in a fantastic episode that will likely leave you with much to consider.

Part 2 Description

Whereas the first part of this conversation was focused on custody, the second part of this conversation focuses more generally on the suite of institutional products that Coinbase is rolling out, including their prime brokerage offering.

We also discuss how Coinbase markets, which provides a shared pool of liquidity for all of Coinbase’s products…. is both an internal service provider to the rest of Coinbase and a product available to market makers and high-frequency traders.

I should mention that if you want to discuss these topics or this podcast episode, feel free to join us on our telegram group at NomicsTelegram.com

  • Why custody in the traditional financial world is a solved problem and a commodity, and why things are so much more difficult when it comes to crypto assets.
  • The spectrum of options and dimensions that exist for solving the institutional custody problem with regards to crypto assets.
  • Coinbase’s regulatory posture.
  • How Coinbase scales key management, key generation ceremonies, and thinks about security.
  • Insurance coverage of stored crypto assets at Coinbase.
  • Why Coinbase is going to great lengths to separate its various institutional offerings.

  • Why consumer products in the crypto space are optimizing for getting the greatest number of individual users, whereas institutional products are designed around servicing the greatest amount of capital
  • How Coinbase Prime operates as a service layer on top of Coinbase’s products for institutional customers
  • Coinbase’s forthcoming OTC offering
  • The need for additional order types for cryptoassets
  • A discussion of Coinbase’s soon to be shuttered index fund
