“As the use of cash has diminished, commercial bank digital money has come to dominate transactions in the UK,” says Sir Jon Cunliffe of @bankofengland. “But we will continue to issue cash as long as there is any demand for it.”

“Tokenisation and smart contracts offer many benefits,” says Sir Jon Cunliffe of @bankofengland. “This has major implications for us. We’re ultimately responsible for ensuring that each of the monies circulating is robust and uniform.”

Sir Jon Cunliffe of @bankofengland makes it clear that “systematic stablecoins” need to be backed by deposits.

“Tokenised bank deposits could offer some if not all of the functionality of stablecoins in a much simpler proposition,” says Sir Jon Cunliffe of @bankofengland.

“No decision has yet been taken on the issuance of a digital pound but it is likely to be needed,” says Sir Jon Cunliffe of @bankofengland. “We see two main drivers: the need to anchor the value and robustness of all monies. And…

“While cash is here to stay, a digital pound issued and backed by the @BankOfEngland could be a new way to pay that’s trusted, accessible and easy to use,” chancellor @Jeremy_Hunt said.

“CBDCs could equip central banks with new tools to significantly help soften the impact of forthcoming financial crises, given they would provide a real-time view of risks and currency outflows,” @techmjh, our Chief Product Officer said.

Our CPO, @techmjh recently spoke to Lauren Mills at @IPEnews in an article, ‘Private markets: Is tokenisation a good idea?’

He says, “blockchain will have massive transformational impact across the whole of financial services.”

Martin adds, “tokenisation reduces the need for intermediaries and time-consuming manual processes. With a correctly set-up token, you can also see the beneficial owners of the underlying assets, reducing the cost of compliance and anti-money laundering procedures.”

2/5
“Over the next few years, trust will be a huge factor that determines the adoption rate of tokenisation within asset management. Investors will need certainty that fund managers can link the token to the real economic rights of the underlying asset,” says @techmjh.

Welcome to day 4 of #Sibos and the session: No, an NFT is not a security. Or is it?

with William Herkelrath of Chainlink Labs.
"One obvious use case for NFTs is #AssetManagement," says Herkelrath. "It's considerably faster and easier to tokenise a fund."

#Sibos
"You open up these technologies to people and you don't know what they're going to do with them," says Herkelrath. "Multiple concerts this summer were carried out as NFTs. You got more of an experience and you have a collectable. That's fascinating for the future."
