Join us in this interactive roundtable that provides a behind-the-scenes look at how financial leaders and fintech pioneers are leveraging tokenisation to reshape financial systems.
 
The discussion will dissect the technological foundations of asset tokenisation and the pivotal role of regulatory frameworks, and examine significant milestones achieved across Asia and Europe. Through real-world examples, we will examine how challenges in the industry can be transformed into opportunities.
 
Discussion Areas
·      Technological foundations: Dissect the technological innovation behind asset tokenisation and how it is revolutionising the financial landscape.
·      Navigating complexities: From policy discussions to public-private partnerships, discuss what industry players are doing to explore the potential of tokenisation in diverse financial verticals including asset management and capital markets.
·      Adoption and implications: Delve into how efforts by industry players are translating into wider receptiveness of tokenisation across Asia and Europe.
·      Strategic Insights: Sharing of strategic insights and learning points in developing collaborative strategies for industry leaders and policymakers to shape the future of finance.

This session will cast a spotlight on the progress made on tokenisation platforms, issuances and money market funds as the financial services industry evolves. Leaders will also chart the collaboration needed to mobilise these assets, drive adoption, and create the blueprint to move these projects to production in the near team.

This roundtable represents the latest milestone in the ongoing evolution of Project Guardian, a concerted effort to foster responsible innovation in digital assets while safeguarding financial stability and integrity.

In 2023, Project Guardian had unlocked the potential of traditional finance (TradFi) through decentralised finance (DeFi) with a summary outlining actionable insights. This includes the importance of international collaboration, responsible innovation, and a shift towards outcome-oriented approaches by taking tokenisation from concepts to commercialisation. Emphasising the need to prioritise commercial value over just technological allure, these discussions have set the tone for the pivotal role of Project Guardian in shaping the financial landscape.

Looking ahead to 2024, the next phase of Project Guardian aims to accelerate institutional adoption and scalability for asset tokenisation, by unpacking how the industry can work together to fuel this acceleration. The roundtables will focus on the following two asset classes: Foreign exchange and Asset and wealth management (Funds).
