New York, NY, May 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Jiritsu Network, a forefront of blockchain innovation, is excited to announce that Michael Lustig, former Managing Director at BlackRock with extensive experience managing ETF assets, has joined their executive board. Michael brings his deep expertise in financial management and investment strategy to support Jiritsu’s initiatives in Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization.
During his illustrious 25-year tenure at BlackRock, Michael oversaw structured mortgage and derivative products trading and managed cash collateral investments in the firm’s ETF Securities Lending businesses.

“I am thrilled to join the board of Jiritsu and work alongside a team that has demonstrated the ability to build successful companies and software at scale,” said Michael Lustig. “We are at a pivotal point where institutions like BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and Fidelity are the nexus of huge assets that will be migrating to tokenized infrastructure.

The opportunity for Jiritsu as the leader in RWA verification is immense, and I believe we are uniquely positioned to capitalize on this shift, ushering in a new era of transparency and efficiency in asset management.”
Jiritsu Network stands to benefit immensely from Michael’s extensive background in dealing with institutional investors and his strategic insights.
