Moving Tokenization from Experimentation to Production Standard

As tokenized assets interact with existing market infrastructure, the financial industry lacks a unified way to model ownership, lifecycle events, and settlement.

Tokenization is moving from experimentation to implementation across traditional financial markets and digitally native markets. As tokenised securities, collateral, settlement assets, and digitally native instruments begin to interact with existing market infrastructure, the industry needs a common way to describe what these assets are, how ownership or entitlement is represented, how rights and obligations attach to them, and how lifecycle and settlement events should be modelled.

This workshop, convened by FINOS and chaired by Ciarán McGonagle, Chair of the CDM Tokenised Assets Working Group, will bring together practitioners, infrastructure providers, legal and product specialists, technologists, and standards contributors working on tokenised solutions across traditional and digital markets. The objective is to define a practical roadmap for the working group, identifying the priority use cases, data model extensions, and workflow requirements needed to support tokenised assets within the CDM.

Workshop Description

The intended output of this collaborative session is a clearer industry roadmap for how the CDM can support legally robust, operationally sound, and interoperable tokenised asset workflows. The workshop is intended for experts actively building, specifying, or implementing tokenised asset solutions, and for those seeking to ensure that emerging digital market infrastructure develops around open, shared, and extensible standards.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This hands-on workshop is designed for practitioners working at the intersection of traditional finance (TradFi) and emerging digital markets. We recommend this session for:

  • Product Managers & Business Leads (Digital Assets & Tokenization): Who are defining and building tokenised asset solutions and need interoperable, standardized workflows to scale.
  • Financial Market Infrastructure (FMI) Providers & Operations Leaders: Who need to model how tokenised securities, collateral, and settlement assets will interact seamlessly with existing market infrastructure.
  • Technologists, Data Architects, & Engineers: Who are actively implementing digital asset solutions and require robust, extensible data models to manage lifecycle and settlement events.
  • Legal & Compliance Specialists: Who want to ensure that emerging digital market workflows are legally robust, compliant, and structured around open industry standards.
  • Standards Contributors & Industry Practitioners: Who want to actively shape the future roadmap and extensions of the Common Domain Model (CDM).

What You Will Walk Away With:

  1. An Actionable Working Group Roadmap: A clear understanding of the immediate priorities, target use cases, and workflow extensions that will define the upcoming agenda for the CDM Tokenised Assets Working Group.
  2. Blueprints for Interoperability: Practical insights into how the CDM can be extended to describe asset ownership, rights, obligations, and lifecycle events across diverse digital and traditional platforms.
  3. Peer & Industry Alignment: The opportunity to benchmark your organization’s tokenization strategy against peers and collaborate directly with market infrastructure leaders to build operationally sound standards.
