Navigating the Future: Global Digital Asset Infrastructure - Insights from GL1 and Project Guardian

This roundtable will bring together key central banks, regulators, international financial institutions, commercial banks and financial market infrastructures operators to share latest developments on base infrastructures, delve into use cases of shared ledger infrastructures in supporting financial applications, and discuss standards and frameworks critical for settlement arrangements on shared ledger infrastructures.

What is the potential, in the view of financial institutions, for asset tokenisation? Can we see greater shift of current flows on-chain in the next 2-3 years?

What are the challenges that may prevent asset tokenisation from reaching at-scale deployments? In what ways can a shared ledger infrastructure that is regulatory compliant help?

There seems to be a chasm between the public sector and private sector efforts in digital money and digital assets. How can the central banks and financial institutions work more closely together to understand the implications of tokenised assets (e.g. tokenised bonds/government securities) and digital money (e.g. CBDC and tokenised bank liabilities)? And how can the two sectors collaborate more, to move from small-scale pilots to at-scale deployments?

Standards and frameworks are only useful if they are adopted widely. As tokenised assets are at a relatively nascent phase of deployment, how can we prevent disparate developments of standards and frameworks? How can we encourage adoption at-scale, yet harmonising refinements of the standards or frameworks to address evolving needs?

Join this roundtable to hear an exchange of perspectives between public and private sector leaders at the forefront of developing scalable approaches for the financial system of the future.
