GL1 Dialogue: Market infrastructure for digital assets

The proliferation of tokenized financial assets across distinct networks has created significant challenges for both the private and public sectors, including issues of interoperability, scalability, regulatory compliance and security. A base layer foundational digital infrastructure, which facilitates interoperability and supports secure transactions of tokenised assets across such networks, could address these challenges while unlocking new opportunities for economic growth.

Global Layer One (GL1) is a collaborative initiative between the public and private sectors to foster the development of multi-purpose, shared ledger infrastructures, that will facilitate seamless cross-border financial transactions while meeting regulatory expectations. More information about GL1 may be found at

The GL1 Dialogue is a series of in person public-private dialogues to facilitate broader industry engagements around GL1. These dialogues seek to bring together financial institutions and policymakers to discuss and learn about developments in financial and asset tokenisation, and features key milestones and progress under GL1. This roundtable will discuss the regulatory and operational considerations in building an ecosystem of regulatory compliant digital infrastructure for tokenised financial transactions.
