Welcome to Blockstream Talk, today's conversation is with Matthew Haywood, product manager for Blockstream’s asset management platform.
The Liquid Network was originally conceived as a faster, cheaper, more confidential way to move bitcoin around. Over the last couple of years though, it's evolved to allow a lot more flexibility including the ability to issue and manage a variety of different assets. That includes transfer restricted assets which can be used to facilitate security token issuances.
Blockstream AMP allows you to quickly issue standards-based digital assets for applications such as security tokens and stablecoins. It offers detailed reports on user balances and allows you to track assets throughout ownership transfers. You can enforce granular ownership restrictions either through Blockstream AMP or your own authorization API.
We also touched on some really fundamental considerations in the security token space like, what is tokenization?
