Tokenisation Has a Settlement Problem
Talkat London Blockchain Finance Summit: Payments & Digital Currencies 2026 · on Thursday, 2026-03-12·
summary
Industry consensus over the last 18 months converges on one practical claim: getting assets on-chain is easy, the hard part is real-world settlement. Tokenised bonds still require traditional payment rails, clearing at existing CSDs, and predictable collateral mobility; solutions that don't bridge old and new become isolated islands. Expect concrete examples of settlement chokepoints, the exact interoperability pieces required, and where existing post-trade plumbing still breaks down.
