Tokenization pilots have taken off around the globe, with many institutions running proof of concepts to test the feasibility, advantages and limitations of blockchain technology. The question is how traditional capital markets can get to scalable tokenized products for institutional portfolios. The speakers will address the current barriers to full scale adoption, the tangible benefits for end investors, and the progress being made to overcome digital payment and settlement, system integration and liquidity challenges. 

As tokenization of financial assets gains momentum, institutions are exploring its potential to revolutionize collateral management and operational efficiency. Tokenized funds, particularly in areas like money markets, promise enhanced liquidity, transparency, and flexibility—qualities that are essential for modern collateral management. However, achieving these benefits requires navigating complex challenges, from interoperability to regulatory compliance. This session will address the advantages of 24/7 trading, streamlined collateralized lending, and the potential of tokenized assets to transform liquidity management across the financial ecosystem.
