Lorenzo didn’t walk away from traditional finance because he disliked markets. He walked away because he saw too many problems in how those markets actually worked behind the scenes. Trades would appear to move instantly on screens, yet the real ownership could take days to settle. Important records were scattered across banks, administrators, custodians, and endless spreadsheets passed around by email. From the outside, everything looked modern. Inside, much of it still ran on slow, fragile systems.
When Lorenzo began working with blockchain technology, he didn’t see it as a shortcut around rules or regulations. He saw it as a way to rebuild the “plumbing” of investment funds so that ownership, transfers, and records could move with the same speed and clarity as the markets themselves.
At the center of his work is something called fund tokenization. In simple terms, this means turning a person’s share in a fund into a digital token that lives on a secure blockchain network. Instead of ownership being stored in scattered databases, it becomes visible and traceable in one place. Investors can subscribe, transfer, or redeem their holdings without weeks of paperwork and waiting.
What makes Lorenzo’s approach different is that he keeps the familiar parts of the traditional system. The funds are still regulated. Investor protections still apply. Independent oversight is still required. What changes is how the records are handled and how transactions are settled. The legal structure stays the same. The technology underneath becomes faster and more reliable.
Rules that once lived in manuals and compliance checklists are built directly into the system. Who is allowed to invest, when they can sell, how long assets must be held — all of this can be programmed into the transaction process itself. Instead of relying on people to manually enforce the rules after the fact, the system helps enforce them automatically.
Lorenzo is also realistic about the risks. He designs his system around hard “what if” questions. What happens if an administrator goes offline? What if a wallet is compromised? How does an audit work when regulators need clear, traditional evidence? For him, blockchain only makes sense if it makes these situations easier to manage, not more complicated.
Regulation is another major focus. Different countries have different rules for investment products, and many are still deciding how to treat tokenized assets. That means a lot of Lorenzo’s work happens in meeting rooms, not coding sessions — with lawyers, compliance teams, and regulators. The goal isn’t to sneak around the rules, but to translate legal requirements into reliable technical systems.
Even the technology choices are cautious. The network is permissioned, meaning only approved participants can use it. Custody solutions are institutional-grade and tied to real identities. Connections to traditional banking are built through existing, regulated financial partners. The innovation isn’t about creating flashy new tokens. It’s about making the entire ownership system more solid and less prone to breakdowns.
One of the biggest changes Lorenzo sees is how companies think about their infrastructure. In traditional finance, back-office systems were treated as necessary costs. In this new model, the structure itself becomes a competitive advantage. Faster launches, cleaner reporting, smoother investor experiences — these all come from better foundations, not just better marketing.
Lorenzo doesn’t believe that every investment will be tokenized overnight. Traditional systems will continue for many years. But pressure is building from all directions. Investors expect speed and transparency. Institutions need to cut cost and risk. Regulators want better tracking of money flows. In that environment, rebuilding the way ownership moves isn’t futuristic — it’s practical.
If this approach succeeds, people may eventually stop talking about “tokenized funds” altogether. Just as we no longer say “online banking,” it will simply become the normal way things work. Faster, clearer, and less fragile. For Lorenzo, that quiet improvement — fixing what most people never see — is the real goal.
