Fatmire Bekiri is Head of Tokenization at Sygnum Bank, a position she has held since January 2022. She leads the bank's tokenization department, focusing on bringing assets onto public blockchains using Sygnum's proprietary issuance platform. Her work has included the tokenization of a Picasso artwork, representing the first time a regulated bank transferred ownership rights of an artwork onto a public blockchain. She led the tokenization of USD 50 million of Matter Labs' treasury reserves into Fidelity International's Institutional Liquidity Fund, issuing security tokens on the zkSync blockchain as on-chain proof-of-reserves. She also led the issuance of the Float Token, a private debt asset token launched on the Polygon blockchain providing exposure to a portfolio of SME loans to European SaaS and technology businesses—described at launch as the first high-yielding private market instrument made widely available to investors through tokenization.
