01 THE MACHINE READ

WHY IT MATTERS.

Fragmented ownership records across wrappers and ledgers could recreate settlement and reconciliation failures if transfer-agent rules lag tokenization.

Tokenization outpaces transfer-agent recordkeeping
CATALYST TO WATCH

SEC transfer-agent rule modernization

MAIN RISK

Repeats paperwork crisis in blockchain form

FULL DISPATCH

If ownership data is split across a token wrapper, a special-purpose vehicle (SPV), a broker’s internal ledger and a transfer agent's off-chain database, we are setting the stage for a Paperwork Crisis for the blockchain age, argues Fairmint’s Joris Delanoue.
