The excitement around crypto is reflected in an EY-Parthenon (global strategy consulting arm within Ernst & Young) survey from September: institutional investors are likely to allocate 5.6% of their portfolios to tokenized assets by 2026, the results showed.

The survey was conducted on 251 accredited/high net worth investors and 78 institutional asset investors in the U.S. in May 2023.

A webinar on Tokenization of Real-World Assets, with the Wall Street Blockchain Alliance on Sep. 7, saw participation from Biancamano. The Fordham Gabelli School of Business alum, who also holds a patent for Actionable Contextualized Alerts in his name, said that putting assets on a blockchain validates ownership and transfer value, reducing friction in the market.
