There are two main obstacles to the scaling of the markets in digital assets and one of them is the lack of interoperability between blockchain networks and between blockchain networks and traditional financial markets. The default answer, hallowed by history in multiple industries, is standards. By enabling different networks to exchange data, they multiply the overall volume of counterparties and transactions.

In 2026 Kalyp Technologies celebrates the tenth anniversary of its foundation as a provider of blockchain infrastructure to the regulated capital markets. It is an ambition that has required patience as well as more obvious resources, since securing the regulatory endorsement on which institutional engagement depends is a lengthy process.

What are the incentives for private debt and equity issuers to tokenise their offerings? Securities token offerings (STOs) are suited to companies that are too big for crowd-funding platforms and too small for the conventional capital markets. So it is not surprising that the audience thought private debt and equity issuers are not just the obvious beneficiaries of tokenisation (Chart 1) but the issuers with the greatest appetite to tokenise securities (Chart 2) and the issue

What tokenisation will enable the financial markets to deliver tomorrow which they cannot provide today

Why the benefits of tokenisation depend on the issuance of “native” rather than “asset-backed” (or "digital twin”) digital assets

How a common platform or unified ledger could unleash network effects in the token markets

Does tokenisation have a scaling problem today and, if so, why?  Some token platforms are growing. But tokenisation as a whole is struggling to scale. This is largely because the business case for adoption is not yet clear. However, the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) bubble of 2017, the cryptocurrency crisis of 2022 and the Proofs of Concept and Pilot Tests of the early explorations of blockchain by regulated institutions were important staging posts and are in the past. The ind

What are the costs of lack of digital money on chain? The absence of on-chain money to settle the cash leg of transactions on blockchains and pay entitlements has many negative effects on the security and fund token markets. Ultimately, every tokenisation use-case depends on the availability of on-chain cash to realise its potential value to users. After all, a large part of the appeal of blockchain is its ability to capture transactions, settlements and transaction records o

Are vested interests at work? Regulated financial institutions have adopted a cautious approach to tokenisation. But the main reason is not protection of existing revenue streams. It is a concern that the existing structure of the capital markets reflects the lessons of experience, and that it would be foolish to jettison that knowledge and the safeguards it erected in pursuit of the cost savings afforded by disintermediation. That said, there are cases where incumbents resis
