Wall Street Financial Services Firm Lazard Plans to Create Tokenized Funds with Bitfinex Securities

The tokenized funds will be set up and issued under Kazakhstan’s financial services law, under regulatory oversight of Astana Financial Services Authority (AFSA), where SkyBridge and Bitfinex are licensed to operate. Bitfinex Securities is responsible for the tokenization process, while SkyBridge will act as broker and manager of the tokenized fund. The products will be available to retail users, but with certain geographic limitations, and available to be purchased with Tether’s stablecoin (USDT).
