Project Tokenization - Toronto:
Listen in to the next CSA Collaboratory discussion
Join the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) and listen to the livestream of a regulatory discussion focused on the CSA Collaboratory’s second theme: tokenization.
Tokenization in Canadian Capital Markets
Building on the discussion in Calgary, the Toronto event is intended to bring together stakeholders and members of the CSA to obtain practical input on tokenization in capital markets. The Toronto workshop will include discussions about key existing and potential use cases that can reduce costs or improve efficiencies, legal questions requiring further analysis and resolution, friction points with existing securities laws, and topics that could benefit from regulatory guidance.
Agenda
A half-day regulatory workshop exploring tokenization, competitiveness, market infrastructure, and interoperability.
Welcome
Competitiveness, Growth, and New Products
Objective: Seek stakeholder input on competitiveness and the areas of potential growth, including new retail products.
Break
Trading and Market Infrastructure
Objective: Discuss how tokenized securities can trade and settle, how they can interact with DeFi protocols (e.g., DEXs, used as collateral), and what market infrastructure and market design considerations arise (e.g., liquidity, collateralization, settlement, and integration with regulated tokenized asset platforms).
Interoperability in Tokenized Markets: TradFi Integration and Cross-Chain Connectivity
Objective: Examine interoperability needs and approaches in tokenized markets, including how tokenized systems can operate alongside traditional market infrastructure during a transition period and how cross-chain connectivity can be supported.
