Real estate billionaire Barry Sternlicht is ready to tokenize assets, but says U.S. regulation blocks it
The $125 billion real estate firm wants to offer blockchain-based tokens to clients but is stalled by regulation.
Cosa sapere:
- Barry Sternlicht, whose Starwood Capital manages more than $125 billion in assets, says the firm is ready to tokenize real-world assets but is stymied by U.S. regulatory barriers.
- Sternlicht argues that tokenizing assets like real estate on blockchains could open new ways to raise capital and give investors access to illiquid markets.
- Praising the technology as "the future," he likens tokenization’s development stage to an earlier stage than that of artificial intelligence and says the world needs to catch up.
