Session information

Fund tokenisation – moving towards production

Tuesday 9 June (1400 - 1445)

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
