Let’s chat re Head of Canada 🇨🇦
@brian_armstrong The impact this is going to have cannot be understated.
Asset management is mired with layers of inefficiency and tokenization with liberate that.
But, there needs to be guardrails/education in place for people buying alternative funds/asset classes.
True, broader access to private companies matters as fewer firms choose to go public.
That said, protections are needed for both companies and investors.
Private companies benefit from long-term decision making because value is only realized at fundraising or liquidity events, not repriced every quarter to meet earnings targets.
While private companies often carry higher underlying business risk (size, concentration, leverage), that risk is obscured by infrequent pricing. Illiquidity doesn’t reduce volatility, it delays price discovery. For many investors, that’s a feature, not a bug, because it enforces long-term alignment.
If private companies pursue tokenized equity, one potential model is a two-tier structure:
• Token A: NAV-based access with limited liquidity
• Token B: Optional conversion into a market-priced token where supply/demand sets price
This preserves long-term capital while offering a controlled path to liquidity
Is anyone offering something similar?
@brian_armstrong The US is on offense, with regulators moving to let builders build.
Canada isn’t far behind, but needs to push. We’re still on defense.
It’s time to change that.
What's Trump's ideal outcome with the Fed?
Rates to zero and massive QE?
What then?
Asset prices explode for ~6-12 months?
Followed in tandem with inflation?
Just point me to the Polymarket/Kalshi bets plz.
