Rodford said his firm has around 120 existing funds from some of the leading asset managers on its platform. He thinks every asset will be on the blockchain in the future, which is why his company is partnering with Ripple to put the assets on the XRPL.

Moir said the blockchain is a good fit because of its institutional-grade functionality, cost-efficiency, and built-in compliance capabilities. The investment expert said the real benefits are the efficiency of putting the end-to-end investment and cash settlement process on-chain.
