Contributing to the European Commission's Workshop on Asset Tokenisation has been a nice highlight of my month. 📌 Dozens of market participants met in Brussels to explore the transformative potential of distributed ledger technology (DLT). Speakers included new DLT market infrastructure operators (like Axiology, which I represented), IT providers, and incumbent financial institutions working on tokenisation – leading investment companies, commercial banks, market makers, exchanges, and CSDs. ➡ The implications of using distributed ledger technology (DLT) go far beyond merely serving cryptocurrencies: it has the potential to bring about significant positive changes for traditional capital markets. ➡ While the DLT Pilot Regime encourages 🇪🇺 financial market participants to engage in responsible innovation, the developments are unfolding slowly. The Commission has demonstrated its long-term commitment, stressing that the DLT Pilot Regime aims to foster innovation without having an expiration date as a regulatory regime. ➡ Tokenisation may offer increased liquidity and potential cost reductions. However, challenges like interoperability, regulatory fragmentation, and the need for digital cash remain. Ongoing collaboration between policymakers and industry to navigate these and other challenges, as well as seize the opportunities, will be needed. Looking forward to continuing these important conversations to bring about a more efficient and inclusive financial market landscape. #Tokenisation #DLT #FinancialInnovation #EuropeanCommission #Fintech #Blockchain #DigitalFinance #Axiology

Axiology has been invited to participate in an experiment of using distributed ledger technology (DLT) for central bank money settlements, organised by the European Central Bank. In addition to the central banks, the experiment includes market DLT operators and other financial market participants. "#Digital #euro has great potential to fundamentally change processes in the capital markets. This is particularly important for countries like #Lithuania, where the capital market is developing at the fastest pace," says Marius Jurgilas, CEO and co-founder of Axiology. "An efficiently functioning capital markets union would enable businesses and investors in the EU to better manage financing and investment decisions. The #DLT #Pilot #Regime encourages EU financial market participants to contribute to meaningful financial market innovations. Europe provides excellent conditions for this, as the European Central Bank experimentation with digital euro allows for a timely testing of future solutions." During the experiment, Axiology examines processes related to the settlement of debt securities (bonds) in primary and secondary markets. The testing involves how settlement in central bank money could operate within market infrastructure using DLT solutions, and serving the lifecycle processes of bonds, including coupon payments and final redemption. Settlements are simulated in a test environment, with the Bank of Lithuania also participating in the process. As indicated in the results of the survey of central banks released earlier this month by the Bank for International Settlements – BIS, central banks around the globe have been recently paying significantly more attention to experimenting with wholesale central bank digital currency. Among the main factors motivating work in this area is the potential to increase the efficiency of local and cross-border payments and improve the robustness of payment processes.

#Axiologists study #value in general rather than moral values in particular and frequently emphasize the #plurality and heterogeneity of values while at the same time adopting different forms of realism about values. Historically, three groups of philosophers 🧐can be described as axiologists: 1️⃣ the original Austrian 🇦🇹 and German 🇩🇪schools of value #phenomenologists; 2️⃣ American 🇺🇸 #theorists of value who offered an account of value which reduces it to #human #interests; and 3️⃣ an English 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 school, influenced by Austro-German phenomenology, which included such diverse figures as G.E. Moore, Hastings Rashdall and W.D. Ross. Recent philosophy has seen a resurgence of interest in value #realism in the broadly axiological tradition. Smith, Barry and Alan Thomas.

European Bond Sales Surpass €1 Trillion Mark at Record Pace This year, European bond issuance has reached the €1 trillion threshold faster than ever before—a development underlined by strategic rate differentials and the active participation of U.S. corporations. According to a report by Bloomberg, the swift accumulation of bond sales in this region reflects strong investor confidence and favorable market conditions. In this context, it is pertinent to consider how emerging technologies are shaping the dynamics of the bond market. Axiology, a firm leveraging Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), provides a noteworthy example of innovation in the financial sector. Axiology’s platform is specifically designed for the auction and settlement of government debt securities, offering a streamlined, secure, and transparent process. By minting debt securities as tokens on a blockchain, Axiology ensures an immutable record of transactions, enhancing both the integrity and efficiency of the market. As European bond markets continue to thrive, the role of technological innovations like those introduced by Axiology will be crucial in shaping future market infrastructure. These developments suggest a shifting paradigm where technology enhances traditional financial mechanisms, promoting greater efficiency and security. The integration of DLT into bond auction and settlement processes by Axiology stands as a prime example of the potential for fintech innovations to improve financial market operations on a global scale. #Finance #Technology #Blockchain #Bonds #DLT #Axiology #FinancialMarkets #Europe https://lnkd.in/dqxSdE9z
