A-Team Explores and Explains Wall Street 2.0 at its Debut Digital Assets & Tokenisation Briefing

Subscribe to our newsletter

A-Team Group’s newly-minted Digital Assets & Tokenisation Briefing – New York City on 19 November – is set to deliver a content-packed morning that both looks ahead to the promise of a Wall Street 2.0 (near?) future while providing practical insights and directions from a roster of experts that can help show attendees how to get there.

A common theme for all of the sessions during the Briefing is that tokenisation of assets is not a goal, but rather an enabler – a fundamentally important first step to allow assets to be leveraged in different applications and use cases to enhance the business of financial transactions.

The Briefing kicks off with a dive into the year’s most substantive digital assets launch: The Depository Trust & Clearing Corp. (DTCC) Tokenization Service, which featured in a public pilot day back in July and was launched to full production last month. We are very fortunate to have Jason Emery, Managing Director and Head of Product Management from DTCC Digital Assets join us for an in-depth conversation including how the service came into being and what it offers the industry. Jason will also cover what it actually takes in terms of business design, technology and operations to roll out a production-grade and scalable platform that is mission critical to a trillion-dollar marketplace.

The Briefing’s opening panel will explore the drivers of tokenisation to drill down on the real benefits that it offers and explore the best approaches to delivering them. It will cover regulatory evolution and risk mitigation accelerators and what developments are still needed to scale up digital asset markets in coming years.

While growing the digital assets space is in everyone’s minds it will be an appropriate time to consider related risk management aspects and learn from some real life experiences presented by Ashley Shillingford, Senior Director, Digital Assets Risk Lead at BNY.

Stablecoins will be the hot topic for the second Briefing panel and given the massive industry interest in the space we can expect it will deliver some important gems of knowledge and experience to learn from. While reviewing stablecoin highlights from recent months – including the introduction of new stablecoins from consortia – the panel will also look to the emerging use of stablecoins as the cyber-currency of autonomous AI agents that are already becoming commonplace.

The final panel of the Briefing will be a must attend for every technologist and business innovator tasked with delivery of their firm’s tokenisation agenda. Think of it as a master class for every key element of rolling out tokenised assets, from token architecture to platform choices and selection to operational imperatives. Real insights that can help attendees succeed in their digital assets endeavors.

For sure, the morning Briefing will be a very full one, with a kick-off networking breakfast offering an opportunity to meet sponsors including Archax – the European digital asset exchange that is now in the USA – and Volante Technologies, a 25-year innovator in payments that’s embracing stablecoin rails for the first time.

The Briefing will wrap up just after Noon giving attendees the option of catching up with business at the office or taking an early bus or train home. Or maybe even a lunchtime visit to the local pub would be a good idea – for some important strategy discussions with peers, of course.

So we hope you will join us for A-Team’s debut event for Wall Street 2.0. View the full agenda HERE. And register while seats are still available HERE. Remember that senior executives from market participants can attend free of charge.
