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.

Who should attend:

This roundtable is aimed at businesses, investors and entrepreneurs operating in the emerging tech space including AI, blockchain, digital assets, and other frontier technologies, as well as business leaders wishing to explore innovations in the future of digital commerce.

Discover how the next wave of innovation is transforming the way money moves. At this breakfast roundtable on Programmable Payments, we’ll explore how businesses are gaining greater control, efficiency and intelligence in their financial operations. Programmable payments use built-in rules and conditions to automate transactions—meaning payments can now be triggered automatically based on time, data, or specific business events. This shift marks a major evolution from traditional payment systems, offering new possibilities for streamlining processes and improving accuracy.

During this discussion, you’ll hear from industry leaders, fintech pioneers, and forward-thinking companies already using programmable payments to create smarter workflows. From automating supplier payments upon delivery confirmation, to ensuring instant refunds or streamlining recurring billing, real-world case studies will show how this technology is solving long-standing pain points in finance, operations, and customer experience. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of the opportunities—and the practical steps to start exploring them.

This event is designed to help you understand what programmable payments mean for your business. Join us to network with peers, gain insights from experts, and see how programmable payments can unlock new levels of agility and automation in the way your organisation handles money.

Please note that this roundtable has a limited capacity, and registrations will be granted on a first come, first serve basis. If you are not able to be granted a space, we will add you to our wait list and let you know if a space becomes available.
