Session overview

This session will assess the development and growth prospects of tokenisation across financial services, the main use cases, benefits, risks and operational challenges associated with its use, and its potential to transform market activities and create value for market participants and users, with a particular focus on its implications for capital markets.

Points of discussion

1. Tokenisation market development and future trends

How is tokenisation progressing across financial services, and in which areas is it developing most rapidly? Which capital-market use cases in particular appear most advanced and promising, and what are their realistic growth prospects in the short to medium term? What factors could limit the development of tokenised markets?

2. Benefits, transformation potential and risks of tokenisation in capital markets

What are the main benefits of tokenisation for capital markets, and do they relate more to market development and integration or to efficiency? Could tokenisation fundamentally transform capital-market activities and value chains, or is it more likely to generate incremental improvements to existing processes? What are the main risks and challenges associated with wider adoption?
