Tokenization is moving from experimentation to implementation across global financial markets. Major banks, asset managers, wealth managers and market infrastructure providers are exploring how blockchain-based systems could reshape the issuance, trading distribution, and servicing of financial assets. Growth in tokenized treasuries, stablecoins and other real-world assets suggests that digital infrastructure is beginning to intersect with the core plumbing of capital markets, with the potential to change how assets move, settle, are distributed, accessed, and financed.

Despite growing momentum, the path to adoption remains complex. Financial institutions are navigating competing technological models, evolving regulatory frameworks and uncertainty around how tokenized systems will integrate with traditional market infrastructure. Questions remain over whether markets will converge on common standards, how public and permissioned networks will coexist, and where value will ultimately accrue across the financial ecosystem, including across asset management, wealth, and investor servicing models. 

This Financial Times event, hosted in partnership with Broadridge, will convene senior leaders from across banks, asset managers, exchanges and financial market infrastructure providers, as well as wealth and distribution leaders, to examine the next phase of institutional adoption. Bringing together heads of digital assets, tokenization and market infrastructure strategy leaders from across the financial sector, the event will explore how tokenized markets are developing, how regulatory frameworks are shaping strategy, how investor adoption and distribution models are evolving, and what financial institutions should prioritise over the next 24 months.
