It is important to balance innovation and potential risks to meet your goals.

Questions business leaders are asking

What is a digital asset and what does it mean for my business?

A digital asset is a representation of value recorded on a blockchain. Different kinds of digital asset formats can be used to represent any kind of value: fungible assets (like money), non-fungible or unique assets (like a piece of art or your ID), or intangible rights (like access credentials or voting rights). What all digital assets have in common is that they utilize blockchain technology and benefit from the speed, transparency, and programmability of the technology. Businesses have the opportunity to leverage digital asset technology to drive efficiencies, create value, and enable new experiences for customers. Although the exact implementation will depend on your goals and the types of value you tokenize, we believe digital assets have the potential to transform industries.

How do I plan, refine, or accelerate my digital asset strategy?

There is no singular playbook for creating a digital asset strategy or developing a digital asset management plan. We bring our community of solvers together to help you define a strong path forward. We’ll work with you to establish a target operating model and develop a go-to-market strategy tailored to your business model.

How do I know if my organization is ready to operate in the digital asset space?

Digital assets have unique risks, and some use-cases have a more established support model than others. Businesses will need to develop new competencies to support digital asset products securely and profitably. PwC can help to assess your internal capabilities, identify gaps, and define a roadmap for digital asset readiness.
