Session information

Fund tokenisation – moving towards production

Description

  • Purpose of a tokenisation project: fund tokenisation can be both a digitalisation project (i.e. moving fund subscription and redemptions towards electronic, automated processes) and an accessibility project (fractionalising fund units)
  • Fund tokenisation precedent: UBS's uMINT, a tokenised Singapore law fund

The panel will explore:

  • Whether there are still legal or regulatory impediments to fund tokenisation
  • What is missing for more projects to pick up, e.g. custody solutions for institutional investors, standardisation and chain fragmentation
