Summary
In this episode of the Real World Assets Show, Travis John interviews Gene Deyev and Ross Shemeliak, the co-founders of Stobox. They discuss the journey of Stobox in the security token offering market and the importance of real world adoption. Stobox has built a comprehensive ecosystem that includes consultancy, technical solutions, and educational activities. They emphasize the significance of tokenizing real estate as it brings liquidity and global accessibility to an otherwise illiquid asset class. The conversation also touches on the future of tokenization, stablecoins, and the transition from centralized finance (CeFi) to decentralized finance (DeFi). Stobox is building Stobox 4, a platform that simplifies the process of tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) and enables users to store, tokenize, and transact with digital assets in a compliant way. The platform utilizes non-custodial wallets with MPC technology, where half of the private key is held by the user and the other half by Fireblocks. Stobox 4 aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi) by providing a user-friendly interface and integrating with various service providers. The platform also emphasizes compliance and trust, ensuring that all transactions are attached to KYC data on-chain.
