Michael Peres sits down with Thomas Gaffney, COO of OFA Group, to unpack the future of tokenization, real-world assets, and blockchain infrastructure in finance and real estate. A former attorney turned technology strategist, Thomas brings a rare mix of legal, operational, and emerging tech experience to questions around AI, machine learning, and on-chain ownership systems. The uploaded transcript focuses heavily on his path from ROTC and law into crypto and blockchain, plus how tokenized real-world assets could reshape transparency, liquidity, and access in financial markets.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• How Thomas went from ROTC and political science to law, blockchain, and technology strategy
• Why tokenized real-world assets could make finance and real estate more transparent, liquid, and efficient
• How blockchain can reduce intermediaries and open access to investment products that were once limited to institutions
• What a future of mass tokenization could look like for real estate, lending, and capital markets
• Why Thomas believes blockchain will eventually become invisible infrastructure that people use without thinking about it
