What it takes to build real trading depth in capital markets. The liquidity problem is not volume, it’s resilience. Can capital markets deliver the stability treasurers and asset allocators require, and who provides the credible counterparties?
The boundaries between TradFi and DeFi are dissolving, creating a new market architecture for capital flows. This panel looks at how banks, asset managers, and crypto platforms are re-engineering liquidity, credit and collateral in ways that could redefine market structure itself.
From storage to integration into real institutional workflows. Custody is only step one. The real challenge is how money moves across internal systems: instant settlement vs. legacy rails, reconciling balance sheets, and plugging into payment flows. What are the working models today?
Tokenised MMFs are emerging as the clearest case for institutional adoption. But are they truly more efficient than traditional wrappers? Panelists dig into liquidity windows, risk, and why tMMFs might become the real driver of stablecoin demand.
This session focuses on putting digital assets on the balance sheet as a treasury reserve: why a company might do it, the upside vs. volatility, and the governance it demands. We’ll cover board-level policy, custody and accounting, risk limits, and how Hong Kong’s regulatory and banking setup can make this strategy executable.
How Asia’s regulatory landscape is shaping real activity. We will compare approaches to virtual asset dealing and custody, tokenised securities and funds, distribution and disclosure, and the operating controls supervisors expect across onboarding, segregation and record keeping. The session will also consider the use of tokenised cash instruments and stablecoins in settlement, and set out what firms should do now to launch, distribute and scale across multiple Asian markets while staying aligned on compliance, risk and reporting.
Reconciliation, settlement and the unseen (billion dollar!) opportunity. The quiet transformation: tokenisation isn’t just about assets, it’s about shaving costs from post-trade plumbing. CIOs and COOs want case studies, not theory. Who has actually delivered efficiency gains?
The marketplace for tokenised assets is expanding fast, but liquidity still depends on where and how assets are listed. This discussion compares regulated exchanges, private networks and public venues to identify where issuers and investors are finding the most real-world traction.
Cross-border FX, repo, trade finance - these are the use-cases being tested in Hong Kong today. Which ones have real commercial traction, and which are distractions? Expect candid views on what investors should back.
Hong Kong has aligned regulation, sellside engagement, and product demand. Leaders reflect on what it will take for Asia’s institutional markets to convert interest into sustained capital flows and which product categories are driving adoption.
