Description
The shift toward tokenized securities is moving from experimental pilot programs to the fundamental redesign of global financial plumbing. Featuring leadership from Broadridge, Tradeweb, and Euroclear, this panel explores whether the true value of tokenization lies in digital-native issuance or the radical capital efficiency gained through secondary market flexibility. As settlement moves from days to minutes, the session deconstructs how Tier-1 banks can fundamentally lower capital buffer requirements and navigate the challenges of 24/7 trading in a T+0 world. Beyond speed, the discussion tackles the critical risks of systemic fragmentation. Experts will address the threat of liquidity silos across private ledgers and how DLT-based systems might have provided superior visibility during historic volatility. A core focus remains the institutional privacy mandate: can shared ledgers ever satisfy the strict data obfuscation requirements of major trading desks?. As automated, smart-contract-driven bond lifecycles become reality, the roles of traditional intermediaries, trading venues, and central securities depositories must evolve. This session provides a definitive look at the next 24 to 36 months, answering the industry’s most pressing question: will the distinction between traditional and digital infrastructure vanish as tokenized US Treasuries and Gilts become the standard plumbing for global finance?
