“Today, we are democratizing access to assets that were once reserved for the ultra-wealthy.”

At Futurist 2025, Steven Gaertner, Head of Tiamonds, joins us to discuss how blockchain is revolutionizing access to precious assets like diamonds and gold, assets traditionally reserved for private offices and high-net-worth individuals.

In this conversation, he breaks down:

💎 Why tokenized assets are gaining real-world traction
🔗 How blockchain ensures traceability, transparency & trust
📉 The shift away from middlemen to direct-to-consumer models
🧠 What’s changed since the crypto crash and how trust is being rebuilt
📲 Why reducing friction is key to onboarding the next wave of users

Whether you’re curious about asset-backed tokens or the future of digital ownership, this is one you don’t want to miss.
