Denis Barrier had the opportunity to discuss with Citywire France on what the tokenisation of investment funds is about, from the mechanisms of token investment to their advantages for VC funds. Indeed, Cathay Innovation has launched a €100m fund in 2022 to invest in Web 3 companies in partnership with Ledger.
