Digital Assets

Financial Institutions, Service Providers, Funds and their managers are increasingly looking ahead to the future and how technology can be applied to their business and operations. This includes digitalisation of the data they use, the use of blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT) for supporting their activities, and innovation for existing and new products such as Digital Assets.

The digitalisation of real-world assets through tokenisation and the creation of security tokens offer great benefits for the financial industry such as operational and cost efficiency, transferability or broader investment base to name a few.

Although there are still numerous challenges to be solved, notably with respect to regulation and market players, we have seen the use of tokenization increase significantly over the past years. On this page, you will find out more about our views and hot topics related to Digital Assets. We hope that you find it useful.
