Digitalization of Capital Markets

The promise that DLT and tokenization holds for capital markets is immense. The technology has been shown to deliver cost efficiencies, reduced counterparty risk, faster settlement cycles, increased collateral mobility, as well as facilitate more inclusive investor participation through fractionalization.

We have decades of experience advising banks, asset managers, insurance companies, and the public sector in their capital markets activities worldwide. As our clients move towards the issuance of digital assets, including digital bonds and other forms of tokenized debt, we have been supporting them in the gap between the application of the law in the traditional finance space and the digital space.

From issuance to custody, we have worked with clients on digital bonds across various jurisdictions worldwide. Moreover, we have worked closely with industry associations, regulators, and policymakers on the development of amendments to the law and recommendations for industry standards to further accelerate the digitalization of capital markets.
