The GDF Tokenization Forum is a regularly recurring meeting that is open to GDF members as well as the broader digital finance world and GDF community partners, led and supported by GDF members. It convenes industry experts to discuss key areas and insights into the tokenization of real world assets and evolving tokenization strategies, across different asset classes in financial services.
The sessions are purposefully curated to drive thought leadership in these subject areas, and should the need arise, serve as a catalyst to mobilise participants to form a working group to drive actionable outcomes, such as a whitepaper or report on specific verticals (e.g. debt/equity, digital bonds, etc).
In 2024, this included:
- The FIX/FinP2P Protocol Interoperability Alliance, launched in partnership with the FIX Trading Community, which created frameworks to enable seamless integration between traditional and blockchain-based financial systems. White paper available here.
- The Sustainable Finance Tokenization Working Group is investigating how tokenization can enhance transparency and integrity in voluntary carbon markets, contributing to broader sustainability goals. Report to be published in Q1 2025.
GDF members receive a summary and write up from each session.
The Tokenization Forum has moved into a hybrid format with sessions being held in priority GDF community hubs including New York, London and Singapore.
