Tezos co-founder Arthur Brightman will speak at the Philadelphia Fed’s 9th Annual FinTech Conference on Wednesday, November 12th. Arthur and several other industry experts will participate in a panel titled “Tokenization of the World: Exploring the Potential of Putting Assets on Blockchains.” The panel will cover a wide range of topics, including the future of on-chain finance, the tokenization of real-world assets, and the fundamental changes that blockchain technology could bring to current market infrastructure.
Now in its ninth year, the annual FinTech Conference hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia has become a key event for researchers, policymakers, and financial technology leaders. The Brookings Institution, Columbia University School of International Affairs, the University of Cambridge, and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania are among the esteemed partners co-hosting the 2025 event.
In addition to senior members from Morgan Stanley and Ondo Finance, BlackRock’s head of digital assets will join Arthur on a panel moderated by Aaron Klein, Miriam K. Carliner Chair and Senior Fellow in Economic Research at the Brookings Institution.
Commenting on upcoming events, Arthur said, “U.S. regulators are eyeing public blockchain’s potential to foster financial innovation and expand capital markets, which will enable the industry to deliver more meaningful and impactful use cases.”
With a number of recent deployments demonstrating the network’s ability to support creative use cases not seen elsewhere, Tezos is quickly establishing itself as the premier platform for tokenized assets. One such example is the rise of uranium.io, a specially designed platform that enables digital ownership and transfer of uranium over EVM-compatible Etherlink networks. Uranium.io was created specifically to remove roadblocks to the asset class that powers the AI revolution. This gives investors access to products that were essentially off-limits until now.
Reflecting on the innovation that tokenization can bring, Arthur commented, “The real excitement comes from tokenizing key assets that currently lack an accessible market. That’s why I’m particularly excited about uranium.”
