The rise of tokenization has introduced significant challenges around security and regulatory oversight, with increasingly divergent attitudes across jurisdictions. As digital assets are increasingly fractionalized and moved across borders, regulatory authorities and institutions must grapple with how to monitor, tax, and secure tokenized assets.

The session will examine regulatory responses and the potential for cross-border legal harmonisation or the lack thereof.
