Tokenisation is transforming how capital markets operate, making the origination, issuance, and settlement of securities faster, more transparent, and more inclusive. For emerging markets and particularly SMEs, these innovations can unlock new pathways to finance, reduce costs, and build trust across the investment chain.
In this roundtable, we will explore how digital processes and distributed ledger technology are reshaping debt markets, from streamlining SME asset origination through IFC’s Digital Invoice Finance Origination (DIFO) initiative to the emerging use cases of tokenised bonds in Asia. Participants will share insights, challenge assumptions, and help define the next steps for scaling these solutions to deepen capital markets and expand financial inclusion.
