BlockchainNZ Pod E08 with Paul Stonham on Enterprise DLT & Tokenising Assets

Paul Stonham is the General manager of the DLT division at the Australian Stock Exchange. For the last few years the ASX has been developing an enterprise DLT that uses VMware’s blockchain and runs the DAML smart contract language. In this conversation we talk traditional finance getting into distributed leger tech and some of the use cases. Paul is a technologist always looking to improve efficiency; and we get into tokenisation of assets and the utility of NFTs.
