Grayscale 前首席执行官 Michael Sonnenshein 已加入资产代币化先驱 Securitize，担任首席运营官 (COO)。

The news was shared in a press release with Bitcoin.com News on Monday. Sonnenshein will now be working with Securitize, a platform that has gained significant attention for its role in tokenizing real-world assets.

周一，Bitcoin.com News 在一份新闻稿中分享了这一消息。 Sonnenshein 现在将与 Securitize 合作，该平台因其在现实世界资产代币化方面的作用而受到广泛关注。

Earlier this year, Securitize partnered with Blackrock, the world’s largest investment manager, to launch the Blackrock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) on the Ethereum blockchain in March.

今年早些时候，Securitize 与全球最大的投资管理公司 Blackrock 合作，于 3 月在以太坊区块链上推出 Blackrock 美元机构数字流动性基金（BUIDL）。

The BUIDL fund, which is now the largest tokenized fund in the world with a market capitalization of $550 million, has since expanded to other blockchains, including Avalanche and Aptos.

BUIDL 基金目前是全球最大的代币化基金，市值达 5.5 亿美元，此后已扩展到其他区块链，包括 Avalanche 和 Aptos。

Sonnenshein, a 10-year Grayscale veteran, began his career at the digital asset manager in 2014 as an account executive. He quickly rose through the ranks at Grayscale, eventually becoming the company’s CEO in 2021.

Sonnenshein 是一位拥有 10 年灰度经验的资深人士，他于 2014 年在数字资产管理公司开始了自己的职业生涯，担任客户经理。他在 Grayscale 的职位迅速晋升，最终于 2021 年成为该公司的首席执行官。

After stepping down from the role earlier this year, Sonnenshein was succeeded by Goldman Sachs executive Peter Mintzberg. The circumstances surrounding Sonnenshein’s resignation from Grayscale have not been disclosed.

今年早些时候卸任后，Sonnenshein 由高盛高管彼得·明茨伯格 (Peter Mintzberg) 接任。 Sonnenshein 从 Grayscale 辞职的具体情况尚未披露。

In a statement to Bitcoin.com News, Carlos Domingo, the CEO and co-founder of Securitize, described Sonnenshein as a “visionary” and a “trailblazer” who has “helped pave the way for establishing digital assets as a mainstream investment class.”

Sonnenshein’s transition to Securize comes at a time when experts are predicting massive growth in the asset tokenization领域.

Sonnenshein 向 Securize 过渡之际，专家预测资产代币化领域将出现大规模增长。

A recent research report by Bank of America, published in 2023, predicts that “traditional asset tokenization may reach $16 trillion-plus, transforming infrastructure and markets over the next five to fifteen years.”

美国银行最近于 2023 年发布的一份研究报告预测，“传统资产代币化可能会达到 16 万亿美元以上，在未来五到十五年内改变基础设施和市场。”
