Agenda

Hosted at:

Real World Assets Day explored the infrastructure, frameworks and market developments enabling the tokenisation of traditional financial assets and the emergence of on-chain capital markets.

The programme brought together institutional players, market infrastructure providers, custody specialists and standards bodies to examine how tokenisation is moving from proof-of-concept to production deployment. Discussions covered the evolution of tokenised securities and payments infrastructure, stablecoin adoption across institutional use cases, risk management and surveillance across digital asset workflows, and the foundational standards and identifiers required to support interoperability in tokenised financial systems.
