The Rise of Tokenized Securities in Capital Markets
Tokenized securities are poised to transform the capital markets ecosystem, enabling new levels of efficiency, transparency, and operational agility. As DTCC advances its tokenization pilot, financial institutions must prepare for a future where traditional securities records operate alongside distributed ledger technology (DLT)-based records, creating new requirements for governance, reconciliation, and operational control.
Operational Readiness for Tokenized Securities
This whitepaper examines the readiness challenges facing organizations across the Banking and Financial Services industry as tokenized assets move closer to production adoption. It explores how tokenized securities will impact securities operations, post-trade processing, corporate actions, regulatory compliance, and risk management, while introducing a structured framework for achieving operational readiness.
Core Capabilities for Tokenized Asset Operations
The paper highlights six critical capability domains required to support tokenized securities operations, including event ingestion, position management, break detection, corporate action processing, control monitoring, and audit trail management. It also addresses key considerations around digital asset infrastructure, DLT integration, evolving regulatory expectations, and vendor readiness.
Scalable Operating Models for Capital Markets
For leaders driving Capital Markets transformation, the whitepaper provides practical guidance on assessing operational preparedness, evaluating technology strategies, and building scalable operating models that support both traditional and tokenized asset ecosystems. It also outlines key decision points for organizations seeking to modernize post-trade operations through Data Engineering, automation, and next-generation digital platforms.
