28.04.26 Digital Assets Roundtable: The Race to Tokenise: Who Will Own the Future of Finance?

Event series developed in partnership with Unblocked.

Tokenisation has now moved decisively beyond proof-of-concept. With the tokenised U.S. Treasury market alone surpassing $11 billion, and crypto-native player Circle Internet Group overtaking asset management giant BlackRock in on-chain Treasury issuance, the question is no longer if tokenisation will reshape markets but who will control the rails.

This session brings together leaders across TradFi and digital assets to unpack where tokenisation truly stands today and where it is heading next.

From yield-bearing government bonds to private credit, commodities, equities, funds, and real-world assets such as property and fine art, tokenisation is steadily expanding the investable universe. Institutional momentum is accelerating, with major banks and asset managers launching tokenised funds and infrastructure, even as crypto-native firms continue to innovate at the application layer.

But beneath the headlines lies a more nuanced reality. Liquidity remains uneven across asset classes, regulatory frameworks are still evolving and the market structure – permissioned vs permissionless – is still not settled At the same time, the competitive dynamics are sharpening. Circle’s rise over BlackRock in tokenised Treasuries signals a potential shift: do distribution, composability, and crypto-native experience now matter as much as balance sheet strength?

Key discussion themes:

• Where tokenisation is gaining real traction today and where it is stalling
• Which asset classes (commodities, equities, funds, real estate, art) are closest to scale
• Whether TradFi incumbents or digital asset firms are best positioned to dominate
• Which aspects of market infrastructure still need to mature

Join us for a forward-looking discussion on the future of tokenised finance – and the race to define its winners.
