SkyBridge Capital plans to tokenize $300 million in assets on Avalanche

SkyBridge Capital, the investment firm of Anthony Scaramucci, announced plans to tokenize approximately $300 million in assets and deploy them on the Avalanche blockchain. This represents approximately 10% of SkyBridge's assets under management, including funds focused on non-securities like Bitcoin and other portfolio funds. The tokenization will be conducted through its partner, Tokeny. SkyBridge's move follows a recent trend of asset tokenization on the blockchain by financial giants such as BlackRock and Franklin Templeton. The Avalanche network currently holds nearly $2 billion in assets. SkyBridge hopes this tokenization will promote the convergence of traditional finance and blockchain technology while showcasing the cost-saving advantages of blockchain.
