About this session
From real estate and bonds to tokenized deposits and stablecoins, tokenization could make both assets and payment flow instantly and globally. While it may promise liquidity, efficiency, and programmable settlement, it also raises questions about regulatory oversight, interoperability, and operational resilience. This panel examines both the potential and the limitations including necessary precaution as tokenization moves into mainstream finance.
