UK and Singapore associations report on digital asset adoption

The IA and the Investment Management Association of Singapore has published a report on tokenised asset market opportunities and challenges.

The report notes the current gap between technological innovation and practical investor requirements. It says 5 areas need immediate attention and has produced an operational readiness checklist:

  • liquidity and secondary market access;
  • custodial arrangements;
  • operational changes to investor rights;
  • consumer protections; and
  • legal and regulatory considerations.

The associations are launching collaborative work programmes to help develop standardised approaches.
