Synopsis:
Despite good progress in asset tokenisation experimentations and pilots, it has been identified that the lack of an open, unified digital infrastructure which financial institutions can use to execute digital asset transactions is limiting financial institutions’ ability to deploy digital assets at scale. This panel will discuss the case of a foundational digital infrastructure that is open and accessible for regulated financial institutions to develop, deploy and use applications for financial industry use-cases. This session will highlight key principles and capabilities of such a digital financial network backbone as well as prevailing mechanisms to achieve interoperability between existing and new financial infrastructures.
