        RWA & Tokenization: When the Asset Becomes a Token, What Happens to the Rules?

        Policy StageHall 3, Singapore EXPOOpen

        About this session

        Tokenisation is moving real-world assets such as treasuries, funds and credit onto new digital rails. The technology is advancing quickly. The harder question is whether the legal and regulatory framework can keep pace.

        When an asset becomes a token, does it retain the same rights and protections? Who owns the underlying asset? Which jurisdiction's rules apply when the token crosses a border? And what happens when different markets take different approaches?

        This conversation brings regulators and market participants together to examine where the rules are clear, where they diverge, and what still needs to be resolved for tokenised assets to scale.
