Money matters
The settlement asset, redeemability, liquidity and institutional framework are as important as token mechanics.
INTELLIGENCE · TOKENISED FINANCE
Tokenisation is moving from isolated pilots toward financial infrastructure.
BIS 2026 work emphasises programmable platforms, tokenised commercial bank money and strong institutional safeguards; European central-bank commentary describes tokenised capital markets moving from exploration toward production.
Atomic settlement
Tokenisation can support DvP and other contingent workflows when asset and money legs are coordinated.
Interoperability
Multiple ledgers and traditional infrastructure will need robust APIs, messaging and governance rather than one universal chain.
