According to Odaily, a recent report by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) emphasizes that major financial institutions are currently experimenting with tokenized deposits to enhance settlement efficiency and programmability. However, the transition from traditional finance to tokenization may pose several risks, including potential governance and legal framework issues, as well as credit, liquidity, custody, and operational risks. These challenges may differ from those faced by traditional market infrastructures, necessitating a comprehensive evaluation by central banks.
Tokenization offers numerous advantages, such as reducing transaction costs and accelerating transaction speeds. Despite these benefits, central banks are particularly focused on governance, legal, and liquidity risks associated with tokenized assets. The BIS report underscores the importance of addressing these concerns to ensure a smooth and secure transition to a tokenized financial system.#FinancialInstitutions #TokenizedDeposits #BISReport #SettlementEfficiency #Programmability #TransitionToTokenization #GovernanceRisks #LegalRisks #CreditRisks #LiquidityRisks #CustodyRisks #OperationalRisks #TransactionCosts #TransactionSpeeds #TokenizedAssets #CentralBanks

According to PANews, the European Banking Authority (EBA) released new guidelines on November 14 for payment service providers (PSPs) and crypto asset service providers (CASPs). These guidelines clarify the obligations of these institutions to comply with the restrictive measures imposed by the European Union and its member states during transfers. The EBA highlighted that these guidelines will assist financial institutions in effectively implementing restrictive measures within their governance and risk management frameworks to avoid operational and legal risks.
The EBA emphasized that any weaknesses in the controls, internal policies, and procedures of financial institutions could lead to legal and reputational risks. Such vulnerabilities could undermine the effectiveness of the EU's restrictive measures and potentially impact the stability of the EU financial system. The new guidelines mandate that PSPs and CASPs adopt reliable screening systems to prevent users or entities from circumventing these measures. These guidelines are set to take effect on December 30, 2025.#EBA #PaymentServiceProviders #CryptoAssetServiceProviders #Guidelines #EU #FinancialInstitutions #RestrictiveMeasures #RiskManagement #Governance #OperationalRisks #LegalRisks #ReputationalRisks #ScreeningSystems #FinancialSystem #2025

According to PANews, Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) is set to require cryptocurrency exchanges to establish reserve funds to protect clients from potential security breaches and operational risks.

The new regulation focuses on ensuring that exchanges have the capacity to cover operational risks and safeguard client funds. As regulatory policies evolve, Japanese asset management firms are actively exploring new crypto investment products. These changes are expected to expand trading services in the digital asset sector and stimulate market competition.#Japan #FinancialRegulator #ReserveFunds #CryptoExchanges #FSA #Cryptocurrency #Regulation #SecurityBreaches #OperationalRisks #DigitalAssets #AssetManagement #MarketCompetition

Deloitte's outlook for 2026 underscores the increasing relevance of T+0 settlement, which allows for same-day trade settlement using tokenized securities and stablecoins. According to NS3.AI, this faster settlement method offers potential efficiency and liquidity advantages. However, the report cautions about heightened risks associated with operational failures and diminished market transparency, which could lead to undetectable manipulation. The transition towards tokenization is expected to start with controlled pilot programs that will impact institutional collateral workflows before seeing wider adoption.#Deloitte #T0Settlement #TokenizedSecurities #Stablecoins #Efficiency #Liquidity #OperationalRisks #MarketTransparency #Tokenization #InstitutionalCollateral #PilotPrograms #2026
