About this session
The first wave of asset tokenization proved that funds, bonds and other assets can be represented digitally and transacted on-chain. Yet despite a growing number of tokenized products, adoption remains fragmented and concentrated in isolated use cases. The next challenge is not creating more tokenized assets, but making them useful. How can tokenized assets be mobilised as collateral, deployed in funding markets, transferred seamlessly across institutions, and integrated into liquidity and treasury operations?
Building on Guardian's work in tokenized collateral and tokenized funds, this roundtable explores how tokenized assets can evolve from investment products into operational instruments that support financing, margining, collateral management and liquidity optimisation. Participants will discuss the legal, regulatory and infrastructure enablers needed to unlock collateral mobility, the role of tokenized money market funds and sovereign debt instruments, and whether a more connected ecosystem can create the scale necessary for institutional adoption.
