SC Ventures CEO Signals Digital Asset Custody Expansion and Tokenization as DeFi Gains Over CeFi, Disrupting Traditional Finance
At the Finternet 2025 Asia Digital Asset Summit in Hong Kong, SC Ventures CEO Alex Manson outlined a forward‑looking trajectory: the convergence of digital banking, Banking as a Service (BaaS), and the digital economy signals a shift toward integrated financial platforms and a more interconnected ecosystem.
He argued that crypto custody is evolving into digital asset custody, with safeguards expanding to cover the full spectrum of tokenized assets. This progression is shaping a regulated, interoperable framework that enables institutions and retail investors to custody and transfer assets across ecosystems.
On technology and markets, he noted that the integration of artificial intelligence with crypto is already underway through autonomous AI agents, and observers expect the DeFi share to rise against CeFi as tokenization accelerates and infrastructure matures, potentially reshaping traditional finance without hype.
