About this session
The development of tokenized settlement assets plays a key role in enhancing liquidity and improving settlement efficiency in financial services. Yet the diversity of settlement assets – regulated stablecoins, tokenized deposits, tokenized central bank reserves – could introduce fragmentation and substitution risk if token interoperability, yield and incentive mechanisms, and financial stability considerations are not well addressed.
This roundtable brings together the financial industry and policymakers to address the multi-faceted considerations for tokenized settlement assets, ensuring they are fit-for-purpose across banking, capital markets, and wholesale payments. -

About this session
Idle corporate cash has long been a missed opportunity - but tokenised money market funds, on-chain repo, and atomic settlement are rewriting the treasurer's playbook. Major institutions are already delivering yield and instant liquidity through tokenised instruments, settling FX derivatives on-chain, and integrating programmable collateral into intraday operations. This session examines what the shift to programmable treasury infrastructure means for CFOs navigating 24/7 markets with systems built for banking hours.
