How Tokenisation Is Reshaping Financial Markets for the Future

Watch our on-demand webcast and explore how tokenisation is moving from concept to reality and how it is set to reshape financial markets. This session forms part of our Digital Assets Webcast Series, building on the recent webcast, Preparing for FCA Regulation of Cryptoasset Activities. As the market evolves from native digital assets (e.g., Bitcoin, Ether), firms are increasingly preparing for the next phase of digital finance, which is: tokenisation.

From private markets and fund structures to trading infrastructure and investor access, tokenisation has the potential to transform financial markets. It has the potential can create new ways of accessing investments and liquidity in assets previously limited to institutional markets. It also presents opportunities for greater efficiency. More significantly, it opens the market to greater levels of product and investment customization in both the professional and retail markets. Alongside the opportunities, firms must also navigate evolving regulatory expectations, operational challenges, and new compliance risks.

During the webcast, we will explore the opportunities, regulatory developments, and practical implications of tokenisation for firms across the financial services industry.

Discussion Topics Include:

• The evolution from crypto to tokenisation: Key market, regulatory, and structural developments shaping the next phase of digital assets.
• Global and industry developments: How tokenisation initiatives are evolving across jurisdictions, asset classes, and market. 
• Products, platforms, and infrastructure: Emerging use cases across private assets, funds, real estate, and capital markets.
• Governance, compliance and operational considerations: Integrating tokenised products into existing control frameworks.
• Market conduct and financial crime risks: New risks arising from evolving trading models, liquidity structures, and digital ecosystems.
• Cybersecurity and operational resilience: Safeguarding digital assets and managing third-party and technology dependencies.
• The FCA and global regulatory outlook: Current UK developments and lessons from the U.S. market.
• The future digital ecosystem: What firms should be doing now to prepare for the medium- to long-term evolution of financial markets.
