FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW YORK CITY, NY – November 13, 2018 – 10XTS, a leader in blockchain and asset tokenization, was honored to present at the World Blockchain Forum (WBF) NYC event, one of the industry’s premier gatherings for blockchain professionals and investors. Michael Hiles, CEO of 10XTS, and John “Codewookie” Bentley II, CTO of 10XTS, were invited to share their expertise in blockchain technology and securities token offerings (STOs) with an audience of over 1,000 attendees from around the world.
Michael Hiles took the stage as a featured panelist in a discussion on the evolving landscape of Securities Token Offerings (STOs). Moderated by Alex Nascimento, founder of the UCLA Blockchain Lab, the panel also included Adam Ettinger, Partner at FisherBroyles, and Todd Lippiat, CEO of Propellr. The discussion covered key regulatory and operational considerations for STOs, offering insights into how compliant tokenized securities are poised to transform traditional capital markets. Hiles shared 10XTS’s perspective on how blockchain can improve liquidity, transparency, and accessibility for early-stage investments, emphasizing the importance of regulatory alignment in fostering a healthy securities token market.
“As more industries look to blockchain for tokenized securities, it’s vital that we create frameworks that not only comply with regulations but also enable efficient capital formation,” said Michael Hiles. “The panel discussion was a great opportunity to exchange ideas on how to move the industry forward while balancing innovation with regulatory requirements.”
John “Codewookie” Bentley, CTO of 10XTS, delivered a stand-alone presentation on the intrinsic technology of blockchain, examining the criteria for implementing blockchain in various business contexts. Bentley’s presentation offered a deep dive into the core principles of blockchain, exploring when and why businesses might choose to adopt this technology over traditional data management solutions. He covered important decision points, including scalability, security, transparency, and cost-effectiveness, and shared insights on best practices for integrating blockchain solutions tailored to specific industry needs.
“Blockchain isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution,” Bentley said. “My goal was to help attendees understand the underlying technology so they can make informed decisions on when blockchain makes sense and when it might not be the best fit.”
Highlighting a Foundational Blockchain Pioneer
One of the event’s most notable participants was Scott Stornetta, Chief Scientist at Yugen Partners, whose foundational research on timestamped digital records is widely regarded as the precursor to blockchain technology. Stornetta’s pioneering work in cryptographic timestamping, which was directly cited in the Bitcoin whitepaper by Satoshi Nakamoto, laid the groundwork for the blockchain revolution. His presence underscored the event’s focus on the deep historical roots of blockchain and the visionary research that continues to drive the field forward.
