Fostering global liquidity with trust anchors

Responsible Tokenisation

Digital asset and tokenisation has the potential to transform capital markets, allowing for new value capture. The road to digital assets (e.g. tokenised securities, natively issued structured products) becoming mainstream will require strong business fundamentals, wide participation by market participants and partnership with regulatory bodies to deepen understanding on the implications. Complementary to these factors is the need for collaborative effort by the industry and policymakers globally, avoiding the fragmentation of liquidity and supporting the development of a common framework in digital assets internationally.

Join this panel to hear from the public and private entities across Japan, Singapore and Switzerland on their collaboration in an industry pilot on securities based asset swap involving tokenised fixed Income products. They will also share the focus of the pilot, the role of trust anchors, the policymaker view, and opportunities/challenges that lie ahead for digital assets.
