Roundtable Room 2, Ground Floor
Open
Tokenization is reshaping wholesale payments, foreign exchange, and securities. As adoption grows across platforms and jurisdictions, it introduces fragmentation, operational complexity, and coordination challenges that may affect liquidity, settlement certainty, and systemic stability.
This roundtable will examine the governance, control frameworks, and cross-border coordination needed to ensure trust, integrity, and resilience in tokenized financial markets. It will explore practical approaches to embed compliance, interoperability, and accountability, advancing trust in tokenization, and enabling it to scale.
