Virtual Roundtable on Regulated Finance and Public Blockchains

Insights from blockchain Foundations and Asset Management

OMFIF is organizing an online discussion featuring key figures from Aptos Labs, Stellar Development Foundation, and Franklin Templeton. These industry leaders will provide insights into the frameworks required for regulated financial activities to function effectively on public blockchain platforms.

The Shift Towards blockchain in Traditional Finance

There is a growing anticipation among traditional financial institutions regarding the migration of various financial instruments to blockchain technology. Early signs of this transition are evident in the tokenization efforts by some of the largest asset management firms globally. As these funds begin to be traded on public blockchain networks, regulatory bodies are eager to understand how to oversee this innovative trading environment, which presents significant differences from conventional trading systems.

Governance Challenges in blockchain Trading

The shift to blockchain is not solely a technical evolution; it also introduces new governance challenges. Unlike traditional systems, public blockchains are not owned or managed by a single entity, complicating accountability and oversight. This new landscape requires regulators to adapt their approaches to ensure effective supervision while fostering innovation in financial markets.

Conclusion: The Future of Finance on blockchain

As the integration of blockchain technology into finance continues to evolve, the discussions among experts will be crucial in shaping the regulatory frameworks that will govern this new era. The collaboration between blockchain foundations and asset managers will play a pivotal role in navigating the complexities of this transformation.
