"Blockchains are working fine. But for tokenisation to scale, it has to outperform today’s capital markets - on cost, evidence, trust, speed, usability, and design. The blockchain isn’t the bottleneck; governance, interoperability, and incentives are.". Those were the closing remarks from our president Prof. Dr @Prof Naseem Naqvi MBE MBE FBBA as he chaired a panel at the Digital Assets Forum in London yesterday. Thank you to speakers Wayne Hughes of BNP Paribas, Luis Rincon of Messari, Richard Skeet of Hivemind Capital, Richard Briffod of MKS PAMP, and Thorben Lüthge of DekaBank for joining us. Thank you to Victoria Gago and European Blockchain Convention for the invitation. #DAF #Tokenisation

📍How would you Audit a Stablecoin? From JBBA Editor, 📈 Dr Stylianos Kampakis, CStat 📊

📍Are Stablecoins really "stable"? UK Treasury Pressed on Tether Stability 🎤 The Conservative Party MP Charlie Dewhirst MP asked HMT whether the Chancellor would ask the Financial Conduct Authority to assess the security and stability of funds invested in #Tether, a Stablecoin. 🎤 Economic Secretary Lucy Rigby KC MP responded that stablecoins could drive important innovation in payments and settlement but can cause consumer harm if not properly regulated. She said the UK has worked with international partners through the Financial Stability Board (FSB) on global standards, and reiterated that the government is building a comprehensive FCA-led UK regime for cryptoassets, including stablecoin issuance.
