Tokenized Markets: Frictions, Choices and the Path to Interoperability

Public-Private RoundtableRoundtable Room 1Open
About this session

Tokenization projects today are often built vertically, with each initiative solving a specific problem within its own ecosystem. Yet tokenizing an asset in isolation does not deliver the full potential of tokenization. Benefits such as atomic settlement and greater capital efficiency depend on interoperability across the entire transaction chain — from the asset and its supporting infrastructure to trading, settlement and the movement of money. The challenge is how countries and institutions can pursue their own tokenization ambitions while avoiding the fragmentation that siloed approaches risk creating.
This roundtable brings together findings from a year of open-call research, alongside problem statements and perspectives from private-sector practitioners navigating the practical choices, risks and constraints of tokenization. It will explore how a decision-making framework can help countries assess their starting points and ambitions, identify the capabilities required across the transaction chain, and consider different pathways towards more interoperable markets. Looking ahead to 2027, participants will discuss emerging problem statements and the coordination, partnerships and policy support needed to connect individual initiatives into a more coherent financial ecosystem.

GL1 Dialogue: Infrastructure for a Programmable Financial System

Public-Private RoundtableRoundtable Room 3Open
About this session

Global Layer One (GL1) has brought together policymakers, financial institutions and infrastructure providers to advance an ecosystem of open, interoperable and trusted digital infrastructures. This collaboration has produced practical outputs such as the Programmable Compliance Toolkit, which provides a common approach to implementing compliance across tokenized asset systems, and the Market Infrastructure Toolkit, which is already being used by market infrastructure providers to assess and demonstrate alignment with internationally recognised standards and risk management principles.
This roundtable convenes the GL1 community to share experiences from adopting and applying these toolkits, including practical implementation lessons and considerations for broader adoption. Participants will also look ahead to how this work can be extended to support new use cases and capabilities as the industry progresses towards a programmable financial system.

BLOOM: When Digital Money Works Together

Public-Private RoundtableRoundtable Room 3Open
About this session

The conversation around digital money has largely focused on issuance, whether stablecoins, tokenized deposits or central bank digital currencies. BLOOM (Borderless, Liquid, Open, Online, Multicurrency) focuses on a different question: how can different forms of digital money coexist and work together seamlessly in real-world payments, treasury, liquidity management and cross-border settlement? Bringing together banks, payment service providers, FinTechs and policymakers, BLOOM supports the development, deployment and scaling of digital money solutions, alongside the interoperability, regulatory alignment and partnerships needed for adoption.
This roundtable convenes the BLOOM community to take stock of ongoing work on cross-bank interoperability, programmable compliance and liquidity optimisation, and share lessons from implementation. Participants will also explore emerging opportunities such as micropayments, agentic payments and automated treasury management, and identify the standards, partnerships and policy support needed to scale these capabilities across institutions and jurisdictions.
