We can't underestimate this seismic shift. At its simplest level, tokenisation:- 1) ...removes layers of bureaucracy, hence cost 2) ...provides a single source of truth, hence accuracy and efficiency (think AML/KYC and wholesale investor certificates) 3) ...delivers liquidity to illiquid markets/asset classes 4) ...will ultimately enhance trust, due to the immutable audit trail The train has left the station and more carriages are being added as it goes... #tokenisation #tokenization #rwa #efficiency #blockchain #smsf #asx #onlinetrading Redbelly Network Liquidise Digital Finance CRC Monoova Zerocap DLTx

Shobhit Maini, head of digital assets for global markets at Citigroup, discussed the bank’s latest launch of a foreign exchange (FX) trading Shobhit Maini, head of digital assets for global markets at Citigroupapplication that leverages blockchain for real-time price streaming and execution of bilateral spot FX trades, specifically for the USD-SGD pair. Historically, blockchain’s role in the financial services industry, according to Maini, has been primarily focused on post-trade processing, optimising, streamlining, and driving efficiency. However, Citigroup’s recent innovation marks a leap, using blockchain technology for pre-trade and execution stages, including communication of pricing and trading terms. This application allows institutional counterparts to request streaming prices that are updated in real-time, and execute trades based on these quotes. A key feature of this system is the recording of trade confirmations and streamed quotes on the blockchain, enabling counterparties to conduct post-trade analyses such as “best execution” assessments. While this technology has been tested, it has yet to be made available to clients commercially. Maini emphasised that the platform signifies a significant step in bringing the entire trading lifecycle—from pre-trade to settlement—onto the blockchain.
