New article on a new series on PE. Private equity is being tokenized. But without confidentiality, it won’t scale.

Tokenization promises to make private markets more open, efficient, and accessible. Yet it runs into a hard truth: private equity is private for a reason. Investors, companies, and fund managers all depend on confidentiality to operate.

In this article, I explain why tokenized private equity needs built-in privacy — and how FHE can enable it. From investor identities to valuation terms, FHE allows smart contracts to compute directly on encrypted data, without ever revealing it.
