Over 80% of countries today are exploring CBDCs, with multiple pilots and experiments helping to drive conviction. But how do we ensure that the tokenised money landscape champions the core tenets of innovation, stability and financial inclusion?

In this roundtable, participants are invited to discuss how interoperability between CBDCs across jurisdictions will influence their evolution. The discussion at Elevandi Insights will build upon conclusions drawn at the Point Zero Forum, delving into the evolution of different forms of digital money, with a particular focus on different approaches to tokenising reserves.

Additionally, the session will explore how CBDCs and tokenised money interact, and how this interaction influences their respective roles. Participants will also explore how the public and private sectors can jointly encourage innovation while managing risks.

This panel discussion aims to explore the opportunities and benefits of digital assets, how end-to-end capabilities and services required will need to be provided by an integrated digital asset ecosystem with robust risk management capabilities, and how MAS provides an important conducive environment and framework for such activities in Singapore.

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.

As the digital age continues to redefine finance, this session delves into the pivotal role of tokenization and digital assets in modernizing financial infrastructure. Explore how tokenization could enhance accessibility, efficiency, and inclusivity, and discover when we can expect mainstream adoption in real-world financial use cases.
