The tokenisation of physical assets refers to the creation of a tamper proof, unique and legally enforceable digital representation of a physical object. It opens a world of opportunities as the physical objects which were earlier consigned to specific markets are now available to global investors. The earliest example of the tokenisation of an asset was when a $30 million luxury Manhattan condo development was tokenised on Ethereum. Ernst and Young in the paper ‘Tokenisation of Assets – Decentralized Finance’ state that “the process of tokenisation creates a bridge between real-world assets and their trading, storage and transfer in a digital world” (https://assets.ey.com, 2020).

At Fnality, we fully recognise that employees are our most important assets and good mental health is an important asset in its own right. We were fortunate to have an Agile work practice which allowed the company to respond effectively to the shock of the lockdown restrictions that were introduced at the beginning of the pandemic. Fnality did not view the transition to remote working as a challenge, but instead an opportunity to evolve the company into a more cohesive and outcomes-focused workplace. From the outset, there was a strong emphasis placed on the mental health and wellbeing of our employee’s during the transition period.
