digital asset identifiers
The LEI names the legal entity behind a financial deal. A digital asset identifier names the token itself, across every chain it lives on. Here is how they differ and why both matter.
digital asset identifiers
FIGI gives global instruments a persistent identifier that never changes. Onchain-native identifiers add something FIGI was not designed for: a canonical key for the same token deployed across many blockchains.
tokenized equities
Tokenized equities move ownership of stocks onto blockchains, enabling faster settlement and around-the-clock access. Here is how they work, where the market stands, and what still needs solving.

A plain-English guide to digital asset identifiers: what they are, why contract addresses fall short, and how emerging standards give onchain assets a canonical name.
onchain finance
Traditional markets run on plumbing most people never see: CUSIP, DTCC, the consolidated tape, custody rules. Here is what those functions do, and what their onchain equivalents look like today.
digital asset identifiers
A contract address points to one deployment on one chain. A digital asset identifier names the asset across all of them. Here is how the two differ and why it matters for onchain finance.
digital asset identifiers
CUSIP names a security. A digital asset identifier resolves the layer beneath it: which token, on which chain, at which contract. Here is how the two compare.
digital asset identifiers
The same token exists across dozens of blockchains, each with a different contract address and no common key. Digital asset identifiers fix that. Here is the full landscape, from CUSIP to DTI to the emerging DASID standard.
tokenized treasuries
Tokenized treasuries are the largest category of real-world assets onchain. Here is how they work, why institutions are moving fast, and what to watch.

tokenization
Tokenization turns ownership of an asset into a digital token that lives on a blockchain. Here is how it works, what can be tokenized, and why the institutional wave is accelerating.
