Goldman Sachs' decision to enter the crypto space with tokenization products reflects a strategic move amidst a growing demand from institutional clients for digital assets.
Matthew McDermott emphasized that the firm’s expansion into tokenization is a response to evolving market dynamics and client needs.

McDermott underscored the importance of designing products that appeal to venture capitalists, highlighting the recent digital asset summit in London where feedback from investors shaped their strategy.
