Digital Asset is the leading provider of blockchain and tokenization software and services for the world’s largest financial institutions, market infrastructure, and tech providers. Our customers build regulatory-grade, distributed ledger applications with Daml and connect via Canton Network, the only network built to unlock the potential of synchronized financial markets.


Momentum is building around the tokenization of assets in capital markets, with recent developments signalling a significant shift towards more accessible and efficient financial systems. 

However, challenges persist. The rise of “token islands” and fragmented ledger solutions threatens to create barriers to liquidity and market efficiency. Progress is uneven across regions—while advanced markets are experimenting with tokenization, others lag behind. Building seamless, global collateral networks requires integrating innovative solutions with legacy systems, balancing transformation with the realities of existing infrastructure.

Key Discussion Points/Questions:
Demonstrating Momentum: What recent developments showcase the growing momentum in tokenizing collateral, and how are they shaping the industry?
Building Global Collateral Networks: What is required to create seamless, global collateral rails that maximize the potential of tokenized assets?
Learning from the Past: How can lessons from past financial crises (e.g., UK Gilts turmoil, 2008 financial crisis, and Black Monday in 1987) inform our strategies for implementing tokenized assets?
Managing Uneven Progress: How do we navigate uneven regional advancements and integrate legacy systems while driving transformation?
Technological Advances: Where are the most promising technological developments happening today, and how can they be leveraged?
Strategic Priorities for 2025: What are the top three priorities for 2025 to deliver immediate ROI while paving the way for the future of global collateral networks?
Public-Private Partnership: How are industry and authorities working together to mature the legal framework and catalyse adoption?
