Facilitating cross-border investment flows
FMI DLT pilots: lessons learned and challenges ahead
Settlement efficiency
Vision for the Global Post-trade
Systemic risk in Post-trade
Financing, facilitation of links, and removing other hurdles
How do the two worlds of DLT native and traditional book-entry securities work together?
What is the difference between securitisation and tokenisation of assets?
Can tokenisation and servicing of tokenised assets by a Settlement System Infrastructure inject liquidity and trust in the new market segments?
“Same activities, same risk, same rules” – is it so true?
Now that we have seen some failures, e.g. FTX, what regulation should apply to DLT Settlement Systems and their operators?
Market Architecture: from a technical perspective, both DLT and centralised IT technologies do not prevent to collapse the infrastructure roles, was the regulation right in separating the role or is there a difference in DLT that justify such a collapse now?
Business case: is the technology too expensive for all actors to co-sign to use it? Will it lead to more fragmentation?
Interoperability: what do we learn from the first cross-chain repo swap (between HQLAx and Fnality) with different DLT technologies? How do smart contracts further enable automation, e.g. for corporate actions?
The difference in efficiency between single and multi-currency/CSD/timezone markets
