Matteo Perruccio, Chief Strategy Officer at 3iQ, recently joined The Future of Finance on Atameken Business to discuss one of the most significant shifts taking place across global markets: the rise of tokenization and digital assets.
In the interview, Matteo explored how blockchain technology is moving beyond speculation and into real-world economic applications. From improving market efficiency and reducing costs to expanding access to investment opportunities, tokenization has the potential to reshape the way assets are owned, traded, and managed around the world.
"People often trust traditional systems simply because they're familiar. Blockchain is fundamentally different. You cannot change a blockchain, but if you don't understand it, you fear it. That has been one of the biggest barriers to adoption."
A key focus of the discussion was Kazakhstan's growing role as a digital asset and blockchain hub. Matteo highlighted the country's forward-thinking approach to regulation and innovation, noting that supportive government policies can play a critical role in accelerating adoption and attracting investment.
The conversation also addressed the relationship between traditional finance and blockchain technology. Rather than viewing digital assets as a replacement for existing financial systems, Matteo emphasized the importance of understanding the opportunities blockchain can create for investors, institutions, and future generations of entrepreneurs.
As tokenization continues to gain momentum, the discussion underscored a central theme: education and understanding are essential to unlocking the full potential of this transformative technology.
