Reserve's Thomas Mattimore on how DTFs are revolutionizing crypto and Real-World Asset Tokenization

Reserve Protocol, the largest Decentralized Token Folio (DTF) platform, recently deployed the first regulated multi-asset crypto benchmark as a DTF - LCAP - based on CF Benchmarks' CF Large Cap index.


Index DTFs follow the same basic principles as ETFs, but they're implemented fully on-chain, enabling anyone to achieve a diversified, tokenized investment goal, with just a few clicks.


What's more, by referencing an FCA-regulated Registered Benchmark, LCAP paves the way for institutional allocation to index DTFs for the first time.


To walk us through exactly how DTFs work, plus the accelerating tokenization trend, we're delighted to welcome the Head of Reserve Protocol, Thomas Mattimore to the CFB Talks Digital Assets podcast.


A selection of highlights from our fascinating conversation:

• Reserve Protocol design features that optimize it for tokenization of any digital asset - and, in time, tokenization of any real-world asset too
• Don't underestimate the power of index DTFs: e.g., LCAP offers exposure to 95% of the crypto market in one click -- on a growing number of decentralized and centralized platforms, including Kraken
• Only certain institutional ETF participants can leverage the power of create/redeem mechanics, but anyone can mint/redeem a DTF, giving individuals easy access to arbitrage opportunities embedded in unit creation and redemption for the first time
• Insanely low slippage observed, so far, in certain index DTF auctions, with up to 99.99999% of the bid filled
• Reserve Protocol's longstanding and deep focus on good governance - and the role of Reserve Rights (RSRs) for incentivizing that governance
