Tezos co-founder Arthur Breitman will speak at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia’s Ninth Annual Fintech Conference on Wednesday, November 12. Arthur and several other industry experts will take part in a panel titled “Tokenizing the World: Exploring the Potential of Putting Assets on the Blockchain.” The panel will cover a wide range of topics, including the future of onchain finance, real-world asset tokenization, and the fundamental changes that blockchain technology can bring to the current market infrastructure.
In its ninth year, the annual Fintech Conference hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia has become a major event for researchers, policymakers, and leaders in financial technology. The Brookings Institution, Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs, the University of Cambridge, and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania are among the esteemed partners co-organizing the 2025 event.
Senior members from Morgan Stanley and Ondo Finance, along with the Head of Digital Assets for BlackRock, will join Arthur on the panel, which will be moderated by Aaron Klein, the Brookings Institution’s Miriam K. Carliner Chair and Senior Fellow in Economic Studies.
Speaking about the upcoming event, Arthur said, “US regulators are warming up to the potential of public blockchains to foster financial innovation and expand capital markets, this will allow the industry to serve more meaningful and impactful use cases.”
With many recent deployments demonstrating the network’s capacity to support creative use-cases that haven’t been seen elsewhere, Tezos is rapidly establishing itself as a preeminent platform for tokenized assets. One such instance is the rise of uranium.io, a specially designed platform that enables the digital ownership and transfer of uranium over the Etherlink network that is compatible with the EVM. Uranium.io was created specifically to remove obstacles to an asset class that is driving the AI revolution. This is allowing investors to access a commodity that has hitherto been essentially off-limits.
Reflecting on the innovations that tokenization can usher in, Arthur commented, “The real excitement comes from tokenizing important assets that currently lack accessible markets. That’s why I’m specifically excited about uranium.”
