Traditional finance 🤝 Tokenization

In our previous explorations of the ​benefits and pitfalls of tokenization​, three things have become clear:

1. Traditional markets have limitations which tokenization can solve

2. Tokenization is earning trust and respect (Blackrock just ​changed their mind​ on it)

3. There are companies to pay attention to

One company to watch is ​Diamond Lake Minerals​ ($DLMI).

They started in 1954, but are now tokenizing assets across commercial real estate, music, tv, media, and IP, consumer products

How it works:

• Their Security Token Offerings (STOs) allow for real-time settlements and improved transparency.

• DLMI ensures that all investments are conducted on SEC-regulated platforms making it a safe and compliant way to enter the world of digital securities.

• Investors can take advantage of tokenized assets and fixed-rate bonds, providing monthly payments or compounding interest.

Recent news:

• New CEO Brian Esposito took over Aug 23 and has ​lifted​ the stock from $0.35 to a high of $13

• Invested in ​Upstream​: their own licensed digital asset/security token exchange

• Partnered with Republic, Colliers, and ​Boxabl

DLMI is a publicly-traded security. Accredited and non-accredited investors can invest.
