Scaling tokenised assets: Swift’s digital asset standards platform & the Bond Data Taxonomy
Across the global financial system, tokenisation is moving rapidly from experimentation to adoption. What was once viewed as an emerging innovation is now gaining traction across a growing range of asset classes, market segments and jurisdictions.
As the market evolves, standardisation is increasingly recognised as a critical enabler of interoperability, scalability and broader adoption of DLT-based capital markets. In this webinar, Swift and ICMA will explore the role of standards in the development of tokenised securities markets and highlight joint initiatives aimed at enabling tokenised debt securities and other digital financial instruments to operate consistently across infrastructures, institutions and jurisdictions. Topics will include:
- The evolving landscape of tokenisation initiatives and global market developments.
- ICMA's and Swift's collaboration to integrate the Bond Data Taxonomy into ISO 20022.
- Swift's digital assets standards platform and its role in unifying business and technical standards across different settlement systems, including public blockchains, private DLT networks, and traditional market infrastructures.

- Gabriel Callsen, Senior Director, FinTech and Digitalisation, ICMA
- Johannes Devos, Product Manager - Digital Assets, Swift
- Charifa El Otmani, Digital Assets Standardisation, Swift
