How will tokenisation transform financial markets?
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

Can securities and funds token markets can grow without genuine digital money on-chain?
What are the costs of lack of digital money on chain?

Why are the tokenised securities and fund markets failing to scale?
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.
